To reviewer NO ONE: Adam doesn't want Clare to get hurt. He didn't know she would be the next one to walk out of the bathroom but he isn't letting Eli stop because Adam wants the money that badly. Greed does that to people.

Alright on to the story!

Eli's POV

As I was driving I realized how content Clare was. She looked so at peace. It made me happy to know that I could do that but it also made me feel extremely bad. The worst part about it is that I can tell she really does like me. Why am I so stupid?

"Eli. How much further?" Clare whined. She looked so cute.

"We are almost there. Stop acting like a five year old." I teased. She sighed and took her hand out of mine. My hand instantly felt cold and inside my body felt incomplete.

"Clare. I was kidding. I'm sorry." I pull the car over right before we hit the forest.

"I know. It's okay. I wasn't really upset I just wanted to see what you'd do if I really was." Did she just say that? This may all be fake to me but seriously? Didn't I prove that to her in her room? I get out of the car and walk over to the passenger side.

"May I remind you who was there when you were sobbing on your bed this morning?" I tell her.

"May I remind you who made me cry in the first place?" She shot right back with a smirk.

"Touché. So am I allowed to hold your hand now or what?" I asked half jokingly.

"Only if you want to." She said while blushing.

I grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear,

"I want to." She smiled.

"Okay. Let's go." I pull her further into the forest.

"You're not going to kill me, right?" She asked innocently. I chuckled at her.

"I wouldn't dream of it." We soon arrived at the lake in the middle of the forest.

"Well, do you like it?" I ask her.

"Eli this is gorgeous!" She ran away from where we stood and to the lake giggling. She looked absolutely adorable so I followed her.

Clare's POV

This lake was absolutely perfect for a first date! Eli was such a great best friend! Whoever knew he was a great date too. I felt someone wrap their arms around me just like this morning. I smiled as he kissed the back of my head. To my inward protest he pulled away.

"Let's go in." He exclaimed. I looked at him like he was crazy because honestly right now he was.

"Don't worry. We will keep all clothes on!" He winked at me. I pushed him a little.

"If I even thought about doing this our clothes WILL stay on and then they would be all wet. Too bad we can't go in." I respond sarcastically.

"I have extra clothes in Morty." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, I know. You keep them in there in case of emergencies." He smiled at me.

"Perfect time to use those clothes!" He smirked and before I knew it I was being carried bridal style and thrown into the lake. When I surfaced I heard Eli laughing.

"That wasn't funny!" But soon enough I found myself laughing too.

"I'm coming in!" He yelled and then stepped gently into the water.

"Wimp! You didn't jump in!" I called.

"You didn't either!" He replied.

"No. I was just thrown in by someone!" I shot back. He swam to where I was and hugged me. He pulled away slightly but kept his arms around me. He whispered,

"Someone who likes you very much." I smiled at him and hugged him tighter. After about twenty minutes in the lake we decided to head back.

"Here are some clothes for you." I shot him a look that said where do you expect me to change.

"Just change. Clare. I'm not going to look." He told me. I laughed a little not believing him. He walked right up at me and looked me straight in the eyes.

"Clare. Trust me." He said sweetly. I nodded my head in agreement. After we both got changed we headed back home.

"I don't understand why you didn't want me to look. You're gorgeous." He said.

"You looked!" I accused.

"Nope. Not at all." He was lying. I started to lecture him.

Eli's POV

Okay, so I lied. I did look but what guy wouldn't? Seeing her in just her undergarments though, it did something to me. A funny feeling inside my stomach occurred.

"Eli! Eli, are you even listening to me?" She screamed.

"Yep. Every word." I put on a convincing smile.

"Oh really? What was the last thing I said?" She asked. I smirked because I knew the answer. I put on my best Clare voice and screamed,

"Eli! Eli, are you even listening to me?" I start to laugh when she pouts. I reach over to hold her hand but she pushes me away.

"No!" She said and pouted some more.

"Come on. I'm sorry. You asked a question and I answered it." I told her.

"I didn't mean mock me and you shouldn't have looked at me naked. That's wrong!" She said and I saw tears coming to her eyes.

"This isn't a test is it?" I asked. She just looked away. I pulled over and put the car in park. I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her close to me as she cried into my chest.

"I'm sorry, okay? I am truly sorry." I said sincerely. She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back at her.

"I forgive you." She whispered and I held her close. We stayed just like that for twenty minutes. Not saying a word. I looked down and noticed the sleeping Clare in my lap. I smiled to myself. In this moment everything felt perfect. Then again every moment with Clare is perfect even when we argue.

So what did you think? Did I make you go awe at all during this chapter? I hope so! In this story Clare and Eli will fight a lot. Nothing major just basically what has happened these last two chapters. It will be a part of the story. It will have a meaning. Okay so I did my thing now you do yours,

REVIEW!
