Eli's POV

I never thought that I would be spending the night with Clare Edwards. Hell, I never thought that she would be the one asking me to stay the night. I could get used to this.

"I don't think my parents will check on me before they leave. They're probably gonna be in too much of a hurry." It sounded like she was trying to convince herself of this.

"Them walking in on me in their daughter's bed probably isn't the best first impression." I joked.

Clare giggled and then had a serious and nervous look painted on her face.

"Speaking of first impressions," She began, "My parents want to um… Meet you Monday after school. As in you come to dinner with us."

"So you told them about us?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Not exactly. When my dad came to pick me up at Degrassi, he saw us kiss before I left." She said as her cheeks turned red.

Funny how I can tell she's blushing even when the only light is coming from the TV.

Clare suddenly scoffed at something.

I looked down at her quizzically, quirking an eyebrow.

"My dad actually sounds excited to meet you, as if he's trying to say that he cares. That whole time I was thinking about how you would just be dying with anticipation to meet him." She rolled her eyes.

I grabbed her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.

"I'll just turn on the Eli Goldsworthy charm." I teased trying to lighten the mood.

Clare giggled at this. "What charm?"

I removed a strand of hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. Slowly, I inched my face closer to hers.

Every second I could feel our breath mixing until our lips met. The kiss was short, but lasting.

Soon, I pulled away just enough to where our lips were still very close, teasing her.

"Oh, that charm." Clare whispered while a smile never left her face.

I felt a smile tugging at my lips as well. I leaned over and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Don't doubt me, Blue Eyes." I whispered with a smirk on my face.

Clare hit my arm playfully.

"That's not charm anymore, that's being a tease." She said while laughing.

I chuckled and held my hands up, feigning innocence.

The rest of the time we pretty much just talked like usual and watched another movie. Clare picked Twilight; can't say I'm surprised there.

We were watching the scene where Edward, Bella, and his family were playing baseball and the psychic (I think her name was Alice?) saw the enemy clan coming.

Clare's head was resting on my chest. I nudged her arm gently.

"How can you watch this junk?" I joked.

She didn't reply.

I glanced down at her and noticed that she'd fallen asleep.

Clare looked so innocent when she was sleeping; maybe even cute or adorable.

Did I really just use the word "adorable"?

I grabbed the remote and turned the TV off.

"Night, Blue Eyes." I whispered and then softly kissed her forehead.

Soon enough, I found myself drifting off to sleep with Clare in my arms.


A/N: Helllooo my lovely readers. [: I apologize for not updating in a while. School is starting this Thursday for me (imma freshman, WOOT!:) And my mom and I are taking my dad to the airport Wednesday… So I've been a little busy.

Did you guys see the previews for the boiling point tomorrow and then for the final 2 weeks? It shall be amazing. I've also been hearing a lot of fan rumors that Eli is going to die during the lockdown, he killed his ex-girlfriend, or he's gonna commit suicide?

I don't know about any of you guys, but if anything that even involves Eli dying happens, I will spiral into a deep depression. LOL xD

Anyways, I love you all and thank you for all of the support. xD

PLEASE REVIEW! Your feedback is what keeps me going! (:
