Thanks for the comforting and whatnot :) anyways, I'm wrote this this morning at 5:45 so if something seems weird with my writing you will know why. Once again sorry for delayed updates! School, concerts, homecoming dress shopping, homework, studying, heart break, new crushes, and other teenage problems and activities keep me on my toes haha. On the brightside I wrote this and chapter eight soo...YAY!Alright, enjoy this chapter! :)

*****Clare's POV*****

I led Eli upstairs nervously. I'm definatley not ready to have sex yet. Hopefully he understands that. With each step it feels like I get more nervous. Step. I internally sigh as we reach the top step and the butterflies intensify. I sneak a peek at Eli and he's looking at me then back down the stairs at the dog with a triumphant smirk. Boys. Why do they get so jealous of animals? Guess I'll have to think about that later seeing as we're in my room and Eli's shutting the door.

"Alright now that the rat is shut out I can get my attention." he smirked.

"Eli! Cuddles isn't a rat he's a dog." I defended Cuddles, who cannot defend himself with words.

"Doesn't look like one. I can't believe that's what you choose to cuddle with at night." he stated wrinkling his nose up.

"Well, what else am I supossed to cuddle with? My pillow?"

"No, me."

"I would, but you're not here at night to cuddle with."

"I could be."

"How? My parents aren't going to let you stay here."

"Yes, but aren't they out on some business trip or something?"

"Yeah..." I replied semi-excited for what he was getting ready to suggest.

"Then let me stay here with you until they come home."

"Eli...I..I can't."

"You can. Please?" he pleaded.

"Uh...but..C-Cuddles..." I stuttered as he slowly came closer to me.

"Cuddles will be fine by himself for a week or two." he stated as he got so close our chests were touching.

"But...I...he...you..." I tried but couldn't quite think of any other reasons he couldn't stay.

Instead of replying Eli slowly leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. My brain stopped working as our lips moved in syncrinization. My arms went up around his neck as his hands ran down my body to my waist. Eli deepened the kiss just as I was beginning to think rationally. His kisses always blew everything in the world ,except for him, out of my mind and into the air to be slowly dissolved. When I'm with Eli everything seems so perfect and bright, like there isn't a care in the world. Eli is my own huminization of world peace.

*****Eli's POV*****

Kissing Clare is definatley on of my new hobbies. Well, not only kissing Clare. Just being with Clare. Clare is beautiful, smart, funny, and at times sarcastic. To sum it up in one word I think I'd have to go with angel. Clare is an angel. My angel. When I'm around her God knows nothing else in the world matter. Just me and Clare. The rat downstairs doesn't matter, her parents' fight doesn't matter, my problems most definatley do not matter, and more importantly the world doesn't matter.

I smiled into the kiss before pulling away and smirking.

"Can Cuddles do that?" I asked smugly.

"No, no he can't, but do you have to be so smug about it?" she asked turning slightly pink.

"Yes! I most definately do!" I replied chuckling.

She rolled her eyes.

"Eli?"

"Yeah, Blue Eyes?"

"Would you like to stay with me for a week? Or two?" she asked biting her lip like she always does when she's either nervous or contemplating.

"Clare, I'd be honored." I replied with a smile. A real smile. Both corners of my mouth raised.

I chuckled as I see her gaping at my smile. God, I think I might have sent your angel into shock.
