Chapter 19: Thank you's and Casting

Clare's point of view:

Today was Friday the day before the dance and the day the cast list would be posted at 4:00 this afternoon. I was anxious to say the least. I'm also nervous about the dance. Because I don't think I can dance but Alli thinks other wise. I know right? Me dancing good? HA! That would just be a good laugh if I ever danced. But if I make a fool of myself I'll at least have Eli. Unless he decides that I'm embarrassing and he goes off with Jenna and then they live happily ever after. NO! don't think like that Clare. Eli likes you not Jenna. You have to stop all these pessimistic thoughts from entering your mind. He's taking YOU not Jenna. Don't you get it he likes YOU! My conscious screamed at me. I woke up at 6:30 this morning and did my morning routine. Today I decided on wearing jean shorts, my purple, black, and pink flannel with a purple tank top under, and some black converse. I did my hair and out on some light makeup. I successfully did my routine with out speaking to Jenna. I was about to head out when there was a knock at the door. I wonder who it could be? I opened the door and there stood Eli looking really sexy as usual. He was wearing black skinny jeans, a crimson button down shirt, a black blazer, and some black vans. He noticed me staring at him so he smirked and I blushed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked smiling

"Well excuse me for wanting to walk my DATE to class." He was too sweet.

"Awww thank you kind sir." I said before kissing him on the lips for a few seconds.

"Are you ready to go?" he asked me.

"Yeah. I was planning on heading out when you came" I then grabbed his hand and interlocked our fingers. He looked down then at me and smiled. Not that stupid smirk that I have come to love but an actual smile. A genuine smile. I closed the door and we headed down the hall. The walk down the hall was silent. I was getting all the attention of the girls while Eli was getting the attention of the guys. Girls were glaring at me because THEY want to hold his hand and guys were jealous of Eli because they wanted me to hold THEIR hand and not his. I looked up at Eli once or twice and he was smiling out of contempt. Like he was on cloud 9. I'm pretty sure I had the same stupid ass grin on my face because I was too on cloud 9. I couldn't help but feel wanted and loved around Eli. Like I was the only girl in the world. Like we were the only two people on earth. He was just that amazing that he had the ability to make me forget about all my problems and just focus on the moment and us. That's one of the biggest reasons why I liked him.

The school day went pretty fast. Neither Eli or myself talked to Jenna which was a good thing. I was extremely anxious for my results for the play casting. Like to me this was a really big thing. Eli kept reassuring me that I would get a good part no matter what but that still didn't settle my nerves. Why did I have to be so jittery I mean it's only the school play. It was after school when me and Eli were hanging out in his dorm listening to music and talking.

"Clare?" he asked.

"Yes Eli?" I responded.

"You still didn't really thank me for walking you to English this morning…" he winked before letting his voice drift off as he looked away dramatically. I caught what he was getting at and decided to play along.

"Was verbal thanks not enough?" I asked innocently.

"Now Clare you know that with me verbal anything isn't enough."

"How much?" I asked still playing his little game.

"Hmmm…How bout…a kiss?" he smirked which made me blush. I then went up to his ear and whispered, "I think I have enough of those." I said smiling deviously. He looked down at me and smirked again.

"Oh I bet you do." He responded. Then in one swift movement I was straddling him while pinning his arms down above his head and he looked surprised. I then leaned my face down to his and smirked before whispering, "Why don't you find out." I swear I think I saw him shudder. With that I smashed my lips to his with control and force. He kissed back just as vigorously as I did. I liked being in control of this kiss. It made realize just how powerful women as a race really are. And it fascinates me to figure out that almost every man's weakness is a woman's body. And it's quite funny to me that a woman uses her body to get what she wants. By then we were kissing madly and like there was no tomorrow. Eli moved his hands from my grip and they started to roam. They went every where. My hips, waist, lower back, stomach and lastly my ass. He then cupped my ass without breaking the kiss and gave it a squeeze little did he know that he just sent me over the edge in my haziness full mind. When he squeezed it again through my jean shorts and I let out a breathy moan. I think he liked the sound because he squeezed my ass and grunted. I moaned louder and then he flipped us over. He was now hovering above me. He didn't kiss me right away but instead he just looked at me. I thought that it was my moan so apologized.

"Sorry" I said.

"Don't be that was the fucking most sexy thing I have ever heard."

"Oh. Then why are you just staring at me instead of us making out?" I asked

"Slow your roll. I was admiring your beauty." I blushed and he dipped his head down and began kissing me again. He bit my lip in between his teeth and I gasped. He took this as an opportunity to stick his tongue in my mouth. As we were making out I let my hands roam. First they were tangled in his hair, then they were on his shoulders and around his neck, and finally rested on his chest. I slowly moved my hands up inside his shirt and I felt his toned abs contract under my touch. I then lightly dragged my nails over his abdominal. When I lightly brushed them over his nipples that's when he gasped and I mentally smirked triumphantly. He then lowered his lower body more on top of me. I felt something poking me and I blushed. I had made Eli aroused. What came next was both exciting and pleasurable. He then lowered his clothed erection to my lower region and thrust hard. We both gasped and moaned at the contact. Even though we still had 4 layers of clothing between us it still felt fucking amazing. He then gave another thrust and another till he found a steady motion for his thrusts. Then it occured to me that I was being dry humped by Elijah Goldsworthy the hottest boy in school. What would my mother think? Screw what my mother thinks. What about my purity ring? My purity ring prohibits me having sex. So this doesn't count because we're not actually 'one'. Eli was thrusting for about two more minutes when he gave a really hard one that I lifted my hips up to meet his. We both gasped in pleasure at the contact. Suddenly the door burst open and in walked Drew and Alli.

"Woah man get a room!" Drew yelled.

"This IS my room you and Fitz just stay in it." Eli retorted. Eli got off of me and sat next to me. I interlocked out fingers and he smiled.

"Woo Saint Clare gettin it on" Alli cheered.

"Thanks Alli." I said looking down onto the mattress.

"What are you guys doing here?" Eli asked.

"To pretty much do the same thing" Drew winked.

"Anyway…what time is it?" I asked. Alli took out her phone and checked the time.

"It's 4:15. Why?"

"Me and Eli need to go check the play cast list" I said while straightening up my clothes and hair.

"Come on Eli." I said as I walked past Drew and Alli to the door. He reluctantly followed. As we were walking down the hall his arm around my shoulder and mine around his waist he was the one who broke the silence.

"That was…fun" he smirked looking down at me.

"Yeah. I also feel empowered because I controlled most of the kissing." I said.

"Really? Because I recall the past ten minutes of me on top of you."

"That maybe true but I was the one who took control for the first 15 minutes Mr. Goldsworthy."

"I like a woman who takes charge." He smirked and I playfully smacked his arm. We then made it to the auditorium door where there was nobody looking at the cast list. I walked up to the list and searched for my name. I did in fact get Audrey. Yes!

"Yes! I got Audrey" Eli then looked for his name on the list and he smiled so wide.

"I got Seymour just what I thought."

"Congratulations." I said while standing on my tippy toes to give him a kiss. It was short and sweet. It's official I just bought my ticket for cloud 9 and it's taking off…right now.
