…
Clare shut the door behind her. Did that really happen? Was that really Jake Martin? It was so hard to believe. Her childhood best friend had moved away almost six years ago. It had felt like she would never see him again. Just then her phone beeped signaling that she had gotten a new text. A smile spread across her face when she saw who it was from.
To: Clare Edwards
From: Eli Goldsworthy
Finish that house work yet? I'd love to spend some quiet time with my girl.
Clare eyes widened. She had totally forgotten to do the clothing. She sighed. After seeing Jake again laundry was the last thing she wanted to do. She decided she would do it tomorrow and quickly wrote back.
To: Eli Goldsworthy
From: Clare Edwards
Not really but, forget it. Why don't you come over and I'll order some pizza.
Before she could even put her phone down she got another text.
To: Clare Edwards
From: Eli Goldsworthy
Pizza? Adam will sure be jealous. I'm leaving now. See you soon.
Clare smiled and picked up her home phone to order some pizza. After she hung up the phone she waited for Eli to limp up her doorstep. It would take him longer to get to her house, not only because he didn't have a car anymore but also because he still had a broken leg. She heard the doorbell and knew exactly who would be waiting on the other side.
She opened the door to see the dark haired boy dressed all in black hunched over a pair of crutches. He had a smirk on his face. "Hey, Edwards"
Clare smiled and moved so he could get inside. "Hey Eli, How are you feeling? Does your leg feel any better?"
Eli smirked "Worrying about me again, Edwards?"
Clare just rolled her eyes and pulled him into a tight embrace. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her as close to him as possible. A surge of warmth filled his body. This felt right. He never wanted to let go, he wanted this perfect moment to last forever.
When Clare pulled away she looked into his green eyes. His gaze turned to her eyes. Several moments passed when they just looked at each other. The silence in the house was peaceful and calming. Eli began to lean closer to her. Clare leaned in until their lips met. For that moment everything slowed down. Eli was filled with warmth from Clare. He missed this, his time without Clare was empty. He was so glad she had given him another chance. He would try his best to control his temper.
The moment was broken when the doorbell rang. "That must be the pizza" Clare said walking over to the door.
Eli walked over to her couch while she got the pizza. She brought the pizza to the kitchen and sat next to Eli on the couch. "So what are we going to do today?" Eli said smiling at Clare next to him.
"I thought we could have a movie night" she said smiling.
"If it isn't that vampire garbage, count me in" He said smirking.
Clare lightly hit him. "It is not garbage, but if you are so against it you can choose" She gave Eli the remote and walked to the kitchen to get plates and some pizza. When she returned she placed a plate in front of him and laughed when she learned which movie Eli had chosen to watch. "Of course you would pick Saw" she laughed.
"How did you know?" he joked. Clare sat down next to him and rested her head on his chest. She was a little cold so she decided to cover their laps with a blanket.
She could already tell this was going to be a great night.
