Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Chapter 2

Too Fast?

Clare

As we arrived at Eli's house, i gulped. "Nervous, blue-eyes?" He asked, while flashing his signature smirk. "Yeah, a little. I've never stayed over at a guys house over night." I ruffled my hair, and listened as he laughed. "It's ok. It's will be ... like any other sleepover." I had trouble believing him. Since the kiss happened, it's hard to think clearly at all. What had happened? It was more then just a pec on the lips, it's seemed too hot to explain. "Blue-eyes?" He asked. I popped my head up to look up at him, and I realized I was lost in my own thoughts.

"Day-dreaming?" He said while smiling. I nodded, "Guess so." "Thinking 'bout little ol' me?" He said. I smirked, "You wish!" I said, and I finally hopped out of the strange black vehicle and walked up to his house. It was surprisingly normal. It has brick walls, with a big black door at the front. Several bushes were around.

"What were you expecting? Dracula's palace?" He laughed. I nodded, "Haha, actually I was expecting something scarier." I joked. He placed his hand on his chest, "Clare! That hurt." He smiled while getting his keys out and opening the door.

We walked in and I looked around. He walked away into a separate room. "Make yourself at home, it's going to be a long night," I raised my eyebrow at his statement. What did he mean? What was going to happen? Where did we even stand? The kiss was so amazing. So hot but yet so innocent. I definitley needed to keep my thoughts to myself. I didn't want to make it obvious that I liked him. I told him about me liking him, and he had confessed as well. I told him he needed time, to get over Julia.

"I've give you time. An internal hurt is hard to heal." I said as I had a hard time breathing. He stroked my cheek and smiled weakly. "I think thats a good idea." He finally said. He's eyes started to tear-up. He sniffled and looked upset. He smiled a little but bigger to hide his tears. His story was intense. Julia was really something special to him. "I'll be waiting, I wont stop waiting." I said, trying to hold my own tears from coming down. He looked down at his feet, as if disappointed. I was never more satisfied to know he liked me, but never more disappointed to have to wait. To wait for his affection and love. To wait for him to say to me "I'm ready." I didn't want to rush him, and I don't want to go too fast. "I'm glad you will. And I believe you. I trust you." The words slipped from his mouth so quickly, it was hard to hear. "What?" I wondered. "I trust you." He repeated. His smile faded a little, and he turned a little red. Waiting wasn't going to be easy for me, but it wasn't going to be impossible. I just hope I don't start falling for him before he start falling for me.

The memory kept playing in my mind as I sat on his couch. The pain I felt, but the relief that followed. A single tear that showed my desire, my like in him.

I must of been lost in my thoughts again, since I didn't notice Eli was standing right in front of me with ice cream. "Clare?" My name left his lips with all the pleasure. I popped back to reality and he handed me a bowl of chocolate ice cream. "Are you hungry?" He asked me. I took the bowl from him, and he sat down next to me.

While he ate, I only ate a spoonful or too. I continued to stare at the bowl as if the ice cream would just disappear. I looked up every now and then to see how far Eli got from being finished. "Not hungry?" He finally asked me noticing I wasn't into the bowl. "Yeah, not exactly in the mood." He took the bowl from me and got up. "I'll be right back." He said, unsure. He returned with a blanket and put it over me. "My mom only lets the temperature stay on 1 number. You must be cold." I took the blanket around me, but not noticing it was cold at all. I was too lost in the fact that he was ready, but wasn't completely telling me. He continued to look at me in concern. "Clare, are you ok?" He asked. I look up at him and continued to think, not completely comprehending what he said. "What?" I asked. "Are you... ok?" He repeated. I got up and walked in front of him. His green eyes sparkled into mine as I seemed to have a lost of words. I opened my mouth but failed for anything to come out. "Clare?" He asked again. I finally took his hand and walked us to the couch. I needed to talk to him about us, why and how we are. He sat down next to me and continued to look at me. Searching for an answer, I just stared at him like an idiot. I finally opened my mouth and spoke. "Where do we stand?" I asked, not knowing how stupid I sounded.

He looked at me and smiled, "Is that all that's on your mind? You had me worried sick." He playfully pushed me and I laughed.

"I'm being seriously!" I nearly yelled. He stopped, but didn't remove the smile from his face. "Clare. Do you really think I would kiss you and say we are just friends?" his question made me smile, not because I knew it was true, but because I felt like an idiot. "So we are... ?" I asked, hoping he will continue. He didn't answer with words, he leaned down and kissed me.

His lips moved with mine as it seemed I was lost with thoughts. The kiss deepened, and I felt his tongue slide past my bottom lip. Not exactly knowing what this meant, I parted my mouth and his tongue slid into my mouth, exploring around.

My hands go behind his neck and his hands rested on my hips. I could only see Alli now when I tell her about this. "Oh my gosh! OMG! Are you seriously, Clare-bear? I can't believe you and Emo boy were swapping spit!" I rolled my eyes while not realizing Eli was watching.

He pulled away, leaving me disappointed. "Are you annoyed of me?" He asked, not completely upset but in a jokeful way. "No, I was just thinking about something." He smirked, "You seem to be thinking a lot lately." I ignored his comment and pulled him into another kiss. I forced my tongue into his mouth and kept at a routine.

I pulled away to breath as he seemed to pop out a question. "Want to go watch a movie upstairs, in my room?" I continued to breath heavily before replying. I finally said, "Sure." and he took my hand and we walked upstairs.

"She was angry. Completely frustrated with me. Didn't want to lose me though. I finally yelled at her, and I wasn't thinking of the consequences. As she rode away, I felt guilt; A deep guilt within me. She was riding away disappointed and it was my fault. And she's now gone. It's my fault!" He told me, fighting back tears and anger. He was frustrated with himself and I knew it. He showed sympathy and pity in himself and wasn't going to stop blaming himself until he was completely over... Julia...

Julia's story played again and again in my mind, the horror and tragedy that happened was getting to me all over again. How is Eli ok now? When he has only had about 3 weeks?

Then I heard a voice within me speak silently. "Don't Question, just accept."
