Chapter Three
"I....I...I-" Eli stammered, his brow furrowing.
"You know what? Forget about it, it's none of my business and you don't have to explain yourself to me." she said shaking her head. "I'm sorry I brought it up." She didn't have the energy; not for a screaming match, not for an argument; not tonight.
Grace broke the momentary lock of their eyes, when she bent her head down and untied her shoes. "Aahh," she sighed as she freed her feet from the confinements of the heavy leather. Eli still hadn't said a word. The situation had come and gone so quickly and it seemed like Grace was really ok with it.
"Tired?" he restated the obvious and smiled crookedly, as he let out a breath, he hadn't realized he'd been holding; pulling out a chair and seating himself across from where she laid on the bed. "How can you tell?" she smiled faintly and propped her head on her elbow turning to lay on her side. Eli could no longer fight the urge to brush hair away from her angelic face. And before he really knew it, he had leaned over and brushed away the chestnut locks with his fingers.
Their eyes had somehow found each other again. And there was something about this gaze, that pulled them in. And Grace just couldn't look away. Eli ran the back of his hand across her smooth cheek, bringing his touch to her neck, and then cupping her face. Eli leaned in closer, their faces mere iches away from each other. His lips ready for the sweet caress of a kiss. "Grace," he whispered, his warm breath tickling her neck. She had brought her hand over to his, and was absentmindedly massaging his long guitar-playing fingers. "Yea?" she whispered back. losing herself in his touch.
"I really am sorry," he said with all sincerity; now massaging the back of her neck. "I know," she nodded slightly, although she still had doubts. Before the moment was lost, while he still had the courage, while they were still caught in this trance. Eli leaned in closer, Grace met him half way, and their lips finally met. Sliding over each other's softly, both their eyes closed. There was no urgency, just knowing that they had all the time in the world.
With each brush of their lips, the kiss grew more passionate. Eli pulled Grace closer to him, deepening the kiss. And they both parted their lips, allowing their tongues to duel in this dance. Eli broke the kiss first, when he drew his lips from her mouth to her neck. Kissing and nipping there. "Eli," Grace whispered breathlessly. "We shouldn't.......we can't" she added while still enjoying the soft ministrations of his lips. "Right," he acknowledged and agreed, but made no effort to stop.
A stern knock startled the two and they seperated abruptly. "Who is it?" Eli asked, trying to regain his composure, catch his breath. Grace jumped up from her spot on the bed, and leaned against a shelf. "Eli, it's Lily.....Grace sweetie, are you in there? They need you out there to make a speech..after all you are the star."
"Sure, mom. I'll be out in a second." she replied nervously and without looking back at Eli, she gathered her shoes and ran out of the door. "Grace!" Eli called after her, but she was already gone.
Eli closed his door, and leaned his back against it; closing his eyes and letting out a frustrated sigh. What just happened there?
Feedback!!!! Next chapter soon (I hope)!!!!!
