Chapter six
A packet of chips falls to the floor and chips scatter every where. Bowls of lollies and chocolate biscuits cover the coffee table and half-full cups of coke and tea are placed on top of books all over the room. The song "Hungry Eyes" fills the room and Grace and Julie sigh in unison.
"When will a guy do something like that for me?" murmurs Julie.
Grace takes a sip of hot chocolate and smacks her lips together.
"One day you'll find Mr Right," she reassures Julie.
"Crap." Julie replies and she throws a pillow at Grace.
"Careful! I don't want hot chocolate all over the place!"
Grace and Julie laugh and start throwing food at each other. Jessie and Tad walk into the room and Jessie coughs a little.
"Oh, hey Jess, Tad…" Grace says.
Julie giggles and waves at them.
"Hey guys…" Jessie smiles.
Tad waves and smiles, "hey."
"Um, we're just gonna go and study," Jessie explains and points to the kitchen table.
Julie and Grace nod and Grace waves them along.
"Jess and Tad?" Julie asks.
"I doubt anything's happened…" laughs Grace.
"You never know," Julie winks and giggles.
Grace gets up from the couch and stretches out her arms. Eli walks into the room, smirks and grabs her waist. Julie watches for a couple of seconds and then gets up to leave.
"I guess that's my cue to…" she murmurs as she picks up her bag.
"Jules, wait!" Grace follows her to the front door.
"See ya tomorrow, Grace."
"See ya, Jules." Grace replies as she closes the door on Julie.
As she turns to walk back to the tv room, Eli wraps his arms around her and kisses her softly on the lips.
"So, babe…lets you and me go up to the garage, put on some tunes and take advantage of the quiet."
Grace kisses Eli on the mouth and strokes his cheek.
"Well…Jessie and Tad are busy with algebra and no one else is home…" Grace thinks and then beams. She takes hold of his hand and leads him towards his bedroom.
"Babe…you can lead me anywhere."
As Grace closes the bedroom door she smirks at Eli and takes both his hands. Eli starts to speak but Grace interrupts him.
"Uh-uh, you said that I can lead you anywhere. Does that also mean I can do anything to you? Don't speak, just nod or shake your head."
Eli slowly looks Grace up and down and gently nods his head. Grace smirks and places her fingers on Eli's eyes and closes them. She slowly pulls off his t-shirt and kisses him softly on the neck and continues down his chest. She feels his stomach shudder underneath her lips and her heart skips a beat. Once she reaches the top of his pants, she starts to undo the button and gets down on her knees while keeping her eyes on Eli's face.
"What do you…?" Eli begins to ask but Grace slowly shakes her head and whispers, "shh."
She unzips his pants and pulls them down to the floor. She stands up and takes his hand again, leading him towards his bed.
"Be careful…" he warns her as he feels himself sitting down on the bed.
"I'm always careful when it comes to you, bub," she murmurs as she kisses him softly on the mouth and pushes him back on to the bed.
"Fuck, I love you," he murmurs back as he takes hold of the back of her head and slowly places his tongue into her mouth.
As Grace wraps her legs around Eli they hear a knock at the door. Grace quickly jumps off him and sits down on the desk chair. Eli stands up and throws on a tshirt and searches for some boxers.
"Who is it?" he yells as Grace throws him a pair and he puts them on.
