[ ]= Graces thoughts = Eli's thoughts

Chapter 2-what was that?

Okay, so dinner didn't go to my mom's plan. I don't know what her problem is lately, she's been so .... I don't know I can't explain my mother she's just, ugh .... whatever.

I decided to go visit Eli in his room (the garage). I really wanted to see him. I mean cuz he's my friend he's nice to talk to ya know? Okay who am I kidding, I want to see him (smiles)

Knock knock..

please don't let it be Jesse "It's open" he called.

[oh no he sounds annoyed] "hey!" oh it's Grace (smiles)

"Hey Grace, whats up?" he said smirking. [oh god why did I come in here. I have no clue what I'm doing!]

"Oh, uh, nothing .... I just wanted to .. talk." [I'm such a doofus]

"What about?" why did I ask her that? Of course she can come in here to talk to me . about anything lighting a cigarette.

[I hate when he smokes] she hates when I smoke "oh, nothing in particular." I sat on his bed across from him. [why does he smoke? .. I want to kiss him so bad]

I want to kiss her ...whoa man where did that come from "So .. ? I'm sorry", he pointed out his cigarette noticing that I was looking at it and put it out.

"its alright . its your room."

"so what's new?"

"nothing really, just my boring life."

"no boyfriends?" why did I ask her that? [of course not, your always on my mind. I can't focus on anyone else!]

"oh no, no boyfriends. Boys don't like me."

"yeah right, I don't believe that." [haha, well believe it]

"it's true."

... Silence ...

I saw Eli start moving closer to me. [whats going on!!!] what am I doing!!! Then he stopped. [ugh! NOOO. Come on Eli kiss me!!!!! Kiss me!!!!] this is wrong I can't do this . this is Grace . my stepsister [I can't wait any longer] so I kissed him. It was slow and innocent at first then Eli pulled away and looked at me wow you are so . wow his lips found mine again and started kissing deeper now. I slowly started to lie down as the kiss got more and more passionate. [this is soooo great! Who knew I could do this!!!?] Eli pulled him self on top of me and our bodies were pushing together. [wait a minute . I shouldn't be doing this . its Eli, my stepbrother] I finally saw reality and pushed him away. He rolled over next to me now laying on his back.

"What was that?" he asked out of breath that was great

"I don't know . I'm sorry, I don't know what got in to me." I said nervously still thinking of what just happened. [maybe that was a mistake]

"Don't be sorry Grace . we almost kissed before, it was bound to happen." I want to put my hands all over her

"yeah I guess." [I want his hands on me!]

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." He reassured me and stroked the hair out of my face

"okay."

"uh Grace . HELLO?" why is she staring at me?

[that was the best daydream ever!] "Huh . oh I must have drifted off there." [why couldn't that really happen!?]

"Oh okay?"

[I'm so dumb]

"well I have to get to work, I'll see you around." Eli said nudging me on the shoulder.

"yeah see you around" I said leaving the garage apartment.

///BACK IN GRACES ROOM\\\

Maybe that daydream was a sign. Maybe I should take my chances. You know . take the plunge. Who knows what could happen.

I'm going to .

Well maybe.
