3, 2, 1 BOOM – Chapter 14
**Grace**
He's making me crazy, I know he's doing that on purpose…
*********
Grace tried her best to ignore him for a little longer, but it was pretty impossible, since he kept on reminding her he was there by 'accidentally' pulling the blanket or moving his hands and legs.
*Eli*
I wonder how long it's gonna take…
****
Eli was now supporting himself on his elbow, looking at Grace's face with a smile of victory on his face, waiting for her to open her eyes, and she did…
*Grace*
Caught…
*******
"Hey" Grace said, trying her best to make her voice sound sleepy.
"Hey to you too" Eli said in an amused tone, smirking a bit.
"Having troubles sleeping?" He kept on using the same tone.
"Fine… fine… You win" Grace finally smiled at him, a little embarrassed smile…
"You're definitely too much of a distraction for me to be able to sleep peacefully, I admit…"
Eli's smirk faded and he started to gently caress Graces' arm, which made her shiver slightly, as he whispered in her ear "Well, if it'll make you feel better I have exactly the same problem".
*Grace*
(Huge smile)
That never happened before…
Someone's thought being bothered by ME and it's not just anyone…
It's Eli (dreamy look, than a pause…freaked expression)
Calm down… It's Eli (smiles again)
*******
Grace turned on her side, now facing Eli and before he could say anything, she kissed him softly on his lips. Eli took the opportunity this time and after she drew back and looked at him, returned the gesture. After a moment of gazing, Grace took her hand out from under the blankets and started caressing Eli's face, as if she was studying them. Eli closed his eyes and savored the feeling. She started with his forehead, slowly tracing the lines of his brows, down to his left cheek, where he had this small smile-dimple she liked, moving towards his defined lips, and softly, almost not touching them, she first traced their outer line, than, slowly moving her finger over the tender flesh, Eli gave her finger a light kiss. Smiling at his gesture she continued towards his neckline, skimming over his muscles and tracing his pulse, she kissed him there. Eli was in heaven, no girl has ever made him feel like he felt when she touched him like that. It was always so much more aggressive or hurried, but this time he felt cherished by her touch and he wanted Grace to feel the same way, so he took her hand and kissed it, than he tacked it back under the blankets and whispered "close your eyes, Gracie".
Eli started by kissing her eyelids lightly, than kissing her forehead as his hand moved towards her faintly blushed cheeks. Her skin was so smooth and soft. Moving up headed for her ear, first with his fingers, than, as he could no longer resist, he kissed her ear, and drawing a little sound out of her, he kissed again, this time behind her ear, and hearing that little sound she made again, he guessed he was in the right direction. Using his tongue he slowly traced a path down towards her neck, feeling her draw a sharp breath and the Goosebumps on the back of her neck, he continued, giving attention to both her ear and neck.
*Eli*
Make her feel cherished
****
*Grace*
OMG (squeals)
*******
As he drew his lips off her neck he could almost feel her protest, but he had work to do… next he took off her hair band which held her hair in a ponytail for the night, and smoothed her hair around her face, he stroked it and breathed in its smell… it smelt like honey. Going back to her face, he kissed her nose, making it tickle. He saved the best for the last… her lips were so tempting, but he restrained himself from kissing them and as she did before, he gently traced them with his fingers, enjoying the softness, but he couldn't hold himself much longer, he had to taste her. So eventually, he closed the short distance between their lips and kissed her. A sweet little innocent kiss, which in a matter of seconds, grew into a heated one, as both of them felt the need to deepen the kiss.
It was the perfect night for both of them. Outside the storm was in full swing, and every minute or two a thunder was heard, but to Grace and Eli it was warm and safe under the blankets, together. "I can't believe it took me so long to see you…" Eli murmured into Grace's neck when they parted to get some much needed air.
"I sure know what you mean…" Grace countered his statement, sounding a little bitter "But you were definitely worth waiting for" she added in a softer tone, and cuddled into Eli.
"Grace?"
"Mmm?"
"Will you go out with me? To a real movie and a dinner?" Eli asked hopefully.
"What do you think about me? I just go and kiss every step brother of mine like that?" she asked him in an accusing tone and paused for effect.
"I only kiss the ones I like…" Grace continued, watching as understanding dawned on Eli's baffled face.
"That was not nice of you Gracie" Eli whispered as he again started to devour her neck with little wet kisses.
"Eli"
"Mmm?" he didn't stop his actions
"How do you think they'll react to all of this?" Grace asked, knowing her question will make him stop his wonderful kisses, but needing to ask him anyway.
"I really don't know, I hope they'll be happy for us, but I guess we'll have to wait and see…"
"Maybe we shouldn't tell them" Grace suggested, being quite horrified from her mother's potential opinion.
"And do what? Hide?" "Cause there's nothing wrong about it Grace, and there's surely no way they can forbid us or something…"
"No, I don't mean hide, just, you know, let's try it for a few days and enjoy not being watched and checked on every few minutes…" Grace smiled an innocent smile.
Eli watched her smile but also caught the glister of mischief in her eyes "You know, you might have a point here…" he mirrored her smile.

I'm so sorry for the huge delay in my stories, but you probably all know how real life tend to butt in… and combined with a little writing block… but I'm starting to recover ;D
p.s. about the length of my chapters… I know it's short, I also love reading long chapters, it's just that I can't seem to be able to write them… so, sorry about the shortness…
