A few days later, everything had went mostly back to normal after my little breakdown with the thunderstorm. It was an ordinary day at school and I was at my locker when all of a sudden a pair of hands covered my eyes. "Guess who?" Leave it to Eli to surprise me like that. If I were being honest with myself, it was actually really nice that he went out of his way to do things like this for me. I picked a good boyfriend.
"Hmm. Let me see..." I pondered playfully. "The voice sounds sweet and these hands are really soft. Could it be my amazing boyfriend, Elijah Goldsworthy?" I asked smiling.
"You guessed right." Eli said and uncovered my eyes. I kissed him on the cheek, always enjoying the affection we gave one another. "I have a surprise for you." His brows raised slightly in excitement and he looked cute.
"What?" I asked and Eli pulled out to tickets to senior prom. I should have known, after all, it was coming up. Time had seemed to have been flying by ever since I moved out of my dad's house and into Eli's with him. I smiled at him, grateful that he even took the time to buy tickets and ask me.
"Do you want to go to prom with me?" Eli asked. I nodded my head and kissed him on the lips. "One week." He said and walked away.
Once he disappeared around the corner, Alli came up to me. "Aw! You guys are so cute together!" Alli squealed and I blushed. "Clare you have to come dress shopping with me today!" She screamed jumping up and down.
"Are you going to prom with Drew?" I asked her closing my locker. She nodded. "Okay, I'll go shopping with you."
"Great!" Alli said hugging me then the morning bell rang, signaling us to class.
After school I met up with Eli by his hearse. "I have to go dress shopping with Alli." I told him while wrapping my arms around his waist.
He frowned, "Hurry back to me Blue Eyes." He whispered kissing the top of my head. I then kissed his neck and pulled away from him. "Tease." I heard him mumble and I smiled. I then left and found Alli's car, we drove to the mall together, talking about the excitement of prom and what not.
"So what store are we going to?" I asked as we were entering the mall.
"Doesn't matter." She answered and we walked into a random store. "Oooh! They have pretty dresses in here!"
"What color are you getting?" I asked curiously.
"Pink duh!" She said and we both laughed. I should have known.
"I wanted to get blue." I said smiling.
"Let's go try some on." Alli then went around the store grabbing every hot pink fabric she saw. She went into the changing rooms and walked out a few minutes later. She came out in a hot pink strapless dress that flowed down to the floor. It was a dress with a ton of glitter on it. "Oh Clare! I love this one." Alli said and I smiled at her. This dress did make her look pretty good.
"I love it!"
"I'm getting it!" She said and walked back into the changing room, then came back out in her normal clothes. "Now let's find you a dress." Alli said scanning the store. Alli pulled me over to one of the racks and found a baby blue, strapless mini dress. "You have to try this on Clare!" I grabbed the dress and walked into a changing room. I put on the dress then walked out. It came down about mid-thigh and showed a teeny bit of curves. I liked it and I guessed Alli did too by the way she was squealing like a fangirl.
"I want this one." The rest of the day we went shoe shopping, jewelry shopping, and... Even lingerie shopping. That part didn't go too well. Alli made me buy a bra and underwear to go with my dress. I also got a bow to wear in my hair and black strappy heels. Finally Alli dropped me off around seven. I walked in the door with five bags and a soda. I shut the door with my foot and tried to walk upstairs.
"Clare?" Eli asked. He was sitting on the couch.
"Hey." I said smiling.
Eli stood up and walked over to me. "Let me help you." He said and tried to grab the bag with my underwear in it.
"N-no I got it."
"Oh. Sorry." He said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
"It's okay." I said walking upstairs to my room. Eli followed me up and I dropped my bags in the corner of my room.
"Come give me a kiss." He said opening his arms up to me. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pushed me up against the wall. His body was smashed against mine. Eli then pressed his lips to mine. He then grabbed my arms from around his neck and pinned them against the wall above my head. I moaned into his mouth.
"I... Uh, think we should stop." Eli said in a husky voice pulling away.
"Agreed."
"Want me to sleep in your bed tonight?" He asked. I nodded and we got into bed together.
"Love you." I said.
"Love you more!" He yelled.
"Shh! CeCe will hear us." I said slapping his chest.
"She doesn't care. She loves you. I bet you that she is secretly planning our wedding." Eli said and smirked.
"Hey, we should do something with Adam and Alli tomorrow." I said snuggling up to Eli, I loved cuddling with him.
"We could invite them to sleep over."
"Oh! That's a great idea." I said smiling.
"Whatever you want." Eli said rubbing circles in my back. Soon we were asleep. The next day at school we found Adam.
"So how are the two love birds doing?" Adam teased Eli and I.
"Great." Eli said laughing.
"Adam, do you want to sleep over after school today?" I asked.
"Sure, is anyone else going to be there?" Adam asked.
"Just Alli maybe." I said. Later that day I asked Alli and she said yes too. At the end of the day Eli and I went home and ordered pizza, then waited for Adam and Alli. It was going to be a really fun night.
