A/N: So I'm writing a sequel to this story. I changed the description a bit in the little summary thingy. What I intentionally meant to make as a Clare/Alli friendship has unintentionally turned into an EClare story.

Lyrics don't really go with the story but I remembered Aislinn Paul saying she liked Nicki Minaj so I just added it in. Haha.

How did I end up here? I had every intention of staying at home tonight until Alli came up to me and practically begged me to go clubbing with her. I said no! I was insistent! Then the next thing I know, I'm standing by the bar, sipping my Long Island Iced Tea.

"Clareeee," Alli whined, "School starts next week and you know that means we won't be partying for a while."

She had a point – we knew when to have fun, but we also knew when to stop. School was a priority for us and we refrained from the partying during the academic year.

I looked around at everyone dancing. I recognized a few faces because they went to my school. I took my time sipping my drink. The last thing I needed was a repeat of the make out incident. Speaking of, Eli and I never mentioned it again. Whenever I saw him in the hallway, I always bit my lip out of shyness and he just smirked.

That smirk. Ugh.

I continued to scan everyone until someone caught my eye. Eli.

He was dancing with some random girl, while Adam focused on the two girls by his side. He seemed to notice me staring and stared right back. Even from a distance, his green eyes were piercing right through me. I bit the straw out of habit. He smirked. He held on to her and moved against her. Memories came flooding back from last time.

*His hands caressed my sides. My hands felt up his arms, making their way to his neck. I danced to his rhythm as he danced to mine.*

"You look flushed," Alli commented, "Didn't you only have one drink?"

I kept my eyes on him. She followed my gaze.

"Ohh," she said.

"He's mocking me," I took another sip, "Challenging me."

"Two can play that game," my best friend replied.

I looked at her and smiled. We were on the same page. I downed my drink and we made our way to the dance floor. Alli and I chose a spot slightly close to Eli. We kept to ourselves, dancing closely due to the cramped space. Eli's eyes followed me, completely losing focus on the random girl. Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" came on.

He a mother fucking jerk jerk
sailor of the ship ship
money make it drip drip
kiss him on the lip lip
thats the kinda dude i was lookin fo
and yes yull get slapped if u lookin hoe

As the song continued, I felt a body come close to mine. I quickly looked to see that it was Spencer, from one of my classes. He gave me a small smile, which I returned. He was a sweet talker and was never looking for anything serious. I used this situation to my advantage. I kept my back to his, letting him take charge and following his beat to the music. Eli narrowed his eyes at Spencer. I tried not to laugh.

Spencer grabbed my waist as I put a hand on his neck. To say Eli was unhappy was an understatement. He was no longer paying attention to the girl and slowly moved his way over to me. I pretended to not notice but I couldn't deny that my heartbeat sped up. And it wasn't because of the dancing.

boy u got my heartbeat runnin away
beatin like a drum and its comin ur way
cant u hear that
boom baroom boom
boom baroom boom bay
he got that super bass

As the song continued, Spencer's attention drifted off to another girl. I wasn't too bothered by it, especially since Eli had already taken his place.

"I see your boy toy left you," he spoke.

I just shrugged and let the rest of the song take me away. Eli moved closer to me and followed my movements. Since I could barely remember what had happen the first time we danced together, this felt new to me. I could feel his breath on my ear. A weak spot. I closed my eyes.

"Didn't have too many drinks this time, did you?" he whispered.

I snapped my eyes open, "If you're just going to tease me then I'll find someone else to dance with… Alli is close by."

His grip only tightened. "I wouldn't want this night to end up like that anyway," Eli said, "I'd rather take you out on a proper date."

he aint even gotta try to put the mack on
he just gotta gimme that look
when he gimme that look then them panties coming off off uh

I slowed down my dancing and looked up at him. He had a serious look on his face.

"A proper date?" I repeated.

"Unless you want to go make out in my car again," he shrugged, "But I figured you were always one to be taken out on a proper date. You know, old fashioned."

I couldn't help but blush at his words. What he said was sweet... An odd way of saying it, but it was still sweet. Yet, I was hesitant. Being asked out in a club was something I never experienced.

"I would have asked you sooner," he said, "But we never really saw each other and even if we did, it was only for a second."

boy u got my heartbeat runnin away
dont u hear that heartbeat coming ur way?
oh it be like
boom baroom boom
boom baroom boom bay

Eli looked at me, his grip never loosening. My hands rested on his arms. We slowed our dancing to accommodate the song.

"So what do you say?" his eyes looked at me, hopeful.

I never gave him an answer. I pushed myself up to him and pressed my lips against his. It kind of took him by surprise since he softly lost his balance, but that was quickly recovered. I gripped his shoulders while he held on to the back of my head. It was a sweet kiss, definitely nothing compared to our previous kisses. I pulled away first.

"So I don't need to take you out on that date?" Eli teased.

"Oh no," I answered, "You're still taking me out on that date."

"Good," a smile graced his lips, "I wouldn't want it any other way."

A/N: There you go! It is now complete! I don't think I'll be writing anymore for this story. It was fun, but I'm out of ideas… They got a happy ending, though. =) Please review!
