Eli's shifts his naked body and Grace softly kisses his neck. He nuzzles his head into her neck and places his hand on her hip. Grace giggles quietly and kisses him again on the neck.
B/W Eli: So this is what it feels like to be in love…(shocked look) Did I just say that?
"Babe, I know I've told you I love you but…"
"But what?" she asks looking at him curiously.
"But it just hit me now how much I really do love you. It feels right, you know?"
Grace kisses Eli softly on the mouth.
"It does," she agrees, "it's like we moved real quick into this without thinking and now…"
"And now we've got the time to take it in…"
"And realize this is meant to be," Eli finishes off the sentence.
Grace smiles softly and runs her hand through his hair. Eli pulls her towards him and turns around in the bed so that Grace is now lying on top of him. Grace blushes slightly when she notices Eli staring right at her.
"What is it?"
"Nothing…everything…you."
Grace laughs and kisses him on the nose.
"So Mr Sammler, do you promise to love me and do whatever I say?"
"I promise to love you and to be your slave forever, Ms Manning?"
"Swear?"
"I swear." He vows and raises his fingers to his eyebrow and salutes.
Grace laughs.
"So that includes being my sex slave, right?"
"Well, well Ms Manning. You sure have changed since I first met you!"
"God! I was such a geek then!"
"Yeah, you were such a bookworm," he laughs and tickles her neck.
Grace laughs and slaps his hand away.
"And you were o-so-cool! Every girl wanted you!"
"So you were one of them, hey?" he laughs.
Grace blushes.
"You were!" he laughs.
"As if you didn't notice, Eli! Every time you walked past I went bright red!"
"I was being polite, Grace. Of course I knew…" he whispers.
"But as if you would have ever of gone out with me…" she says and she looks away.
B/W Eli: She was so awkward, so moody back then.
B/W Grace: He was so smooth, so cocky.
"But babe, you're different now. I'm different."
"I guess…" she shrugs.
"What is it?" he takes hold of her face and moves it to face his.
"When your friends find out about me, they're going to laugh in your face," she whispers.
B/W Eli" I never thought about my friends reactions.
"That's bullshit, Grace," Eli replies after hesitating for a second.
"Whatever, Eli," she moves his hand from her face and his other arm from her waist and starts to get out of the bed.
"Grace…"
"I really should do some homework."
"But it's Friday. You can leave it for tomorrow. Don't be such a…"
"Such a what, Eli? Such a geek? Well that's who I am."
Grace jumps out of the bed and throws on a t-shirt and underpants.
"Don't get all moody, Grace," Eli mutters.
"I think you should go."
Eli groans. He gets out of the bed and puts on his clothes.
"This is stupid," he mutters.
"Not only do you think that I'm a geek, that I'm moody, but you also think my concerns are stupid. Gee, thanks." Grace goes red and sits down at the desk, "just go, Eli."
Eli tries to kiss Grace on the cheek but she moves her face and he misses.
"I'm sorry," he murmurs as he leaves the room.
Once the door closes Grace picks up a tissue and dabs her eyes. Eli is standing behind the door with his hand on the handle.
B/W Eli: I royally screwed that up.
