Chapter eighteen
Eli is sitting on his bed, strumming his guitar and humming an unknown tune. He is wearing a pair of faded jeans with a black leather belt and has no top on. His hair is disheveled from just waking up. Eli is trying to come up with the music for some lyrics he has just written.
Eli throws the guitar onto the bed and picks up a cigarette and his lighter. While lighting up he hears a knock on the door and freezes.
"Who is it?" he yells.
It's me, E."
Eli lets out a sigh and finishes lighting up.
"Come in, babe."
Grace throws open the door. She is wearing a pair of Eli's boxers and a pink singlet. Her hair is tied up on top of her head into a bun and she has a pair of ugboots on. Eli looks over at her and smiles.
"Why'd you knock?"
Grace shrugs and shuffles over to the bed. Eli reaches out his arms and pulls her onto his lap. He wraps his arms around her and Grace leans her head against his shoulder.
"You know, you look so hot in my boxers," he murmurs sexily.
Grace nuzzles his neck and then kisses him on the mouth. He pulls her in tighter and their tongues connected.
"And you look hot with your sexed up hair," she murmurs back at him.
"Funny thing is, I haven't had any sex for the last four days," he pretends to whine.
"Aw, poor bubby," she laughs and kisses the tip of his nose.
"Well, I'm horny," he continues to whine and places his hand on his crouch, "and Ralph hasn't had any fun fir days".
"Geez E, I had to finish the essay," Grace grumbles.
Eli pouts and tickles her belly.
"So, we can play now?" he pleads.
Grace slaps his hand away from her waist and nibbles on his ear.
"O, I don't think I can squeeze you into my busy schedule," she teases him.
Grace gives him a quick kiss and jumps off the bed.
"I gotta go. Places to go, people to see…"
Eli looks at her in surprise and she leaves the room with a smirk on her face.
B/W Eli: She's becoming this amazingly confident girl. She's so different to how she used to be.

Jessie is rummaging through her locker when she feels a tap on her shoulder. She spins around and finds Katie standing in front of her with a big smile on her face.
"What's happenin' hot-stuff?"
Jessie smiles and gives Katie a quick hug.
"Nothin' special, my dear. Just getting ready for lunch with Tad."
Jessie notices Katie slightly frown and Jessie bites her lip.
"You can join us if you like," she offers.
Katie smiles softly and shakes her head.
"Nah, thanks Jess, but I should go to the library and do some work on the history essay."
Jessie smiles and pats Katie on the shoulder. Katie leans in to give her a hug but notices Tad walking towards them. Katie moves back a little and Tad joins them.
"Hey guys," he smiles.
Jessie goes a little red and moves closer to him.
"Hey Tad," Katie murmurs, "anyway, I should get going. See you guys later," she waves and walks off before Tad and Jessie have a chance to reply.
Tad looks at Jessie with curiosity and Jessie just shrugs.
"She's been acting weird all week."
Tad smirks.
"Maybe she's jealous," he laughs.
"Geez, you've got a bit ego."
"Not of you! Of me, dummy!"
Jessie's eyes widen.
"What the…"
Tad looks at the shock on Jessie's face and can't help but laugh.
"You can't tell me you had no idea that she was…gay," he says while he looks around the corridor.
Jessie shakes her head and bites her lip.
"Geez Jess, it's so obvious!"
Jessie goes red.
"That's part of what I like about you, your innocence."
Tad takes hold of Jessie's hand and they head off to the cafeteria.

Eli is standing in front of Grace's bedroom door and he is looking at a piece of paper.
"E, meet me in my bedroom at six. I have a little surprise for you. Xxx."
Eli folds the paper up and puts it in his pants pocket. He knocks on the door and he hears some walking.
"Come in," Grace commands in a low voice.
Eli throws the door open and finds a number of candles all over the room and he can smell cinnamon and cloves. Grace is lying on top of her bed wearing a black lace nightgown which finishes just above her thighs and shows off her breasts. Her hair is piled on top of her head in a loose bun and little strands frame her face. On her bedside table is a bottle of champagne, two glasses, a plate of strawberries and a bowl of rich, melted chocolate. There is music playing in the background and a sheepskin rug has been placed on the floor.
Eli looks into Grace's eyes and before she can even say something, he walks over to her bed and pulls off his t-shirt. Grace stretches out her arms and he wraps his arms around her. His eyes remain focused on hers and she strokes his face.
"I thought it was time that I did something for you," she whispers.
Eli gently kisses her on the mouth and smiles. Grace turns to the champagne bottle and pops it open. The liquid fizzles out of the bottle and droplets land on the table. She pours them both a glass and hands one to Eli.
"To us," she murmurs and then takes a sip.
"To us," he repeats and takes a sip as well.
They put their glasses back on the table and Grace starts to take off her nightgown. Eli moves her hands away and takes over. He kisses her once again on the mouth and pulls her nightgown off. Grace unbuckles Eli's jeans and pulls them down.
"O my. Hello there, Ralph," she murmurs with a smirk as she notices Eli's erection underneath his boxers.
Eli takes hold of Grace's hand and places it on his crotch. Grace bends down and pulls down his boxers and then takes hold of Ralph and kisses it softly. She takes hold of it with her mouth and starts to go down. Eli gently rolls her on top of him and he lays his head on the pillow and closes his eyes. With every movement of her mouth, Eli finds himself breathing harder and harder and he can't help but curl his toes and his hands grab the doona. Grace runs her mouth down his penis and she can feel his thighs stiffen and can feel his breath against her neck. Eli lets out a long moan and feels his muscles loosen. He takes hold of Grace's hands, kissing each one individually and pulls her up towards him. She smiles at him and he kisses her on the cheek.
Grace Picks up her champagne glass and dips a strawberry into the chocolate. She takes a sip and places the strawberry into Eli's mouth. His lips graze her fingers and he licks the sauce off her fingers.
"So, you still horny?" she smirks and takes another sip.
"Well, not really, but I'm more than willing to offer my services…" he smirks.
Eli takes the glass from Grace's hand and he pulls the doona up and covers it over himself. Grace looks down suspiciously and then lets out a little gasp.
"I hope you can service me more often," she murmurs and then lets out one more gasp.
