13 reviews? Oh goodness you are fantastic! Okay, I got an anonymous review saying to make the chapters longer. So that is exactly what I did! I hope it isn't too long. Tell me though in a review!
I would like to dedicate this chapter to: Lacythebieberfan37. Your review made me laugh so hard! I loved it!
Clare's POV
I was sitting on a bench at Degrassi. It has been three days since my date with Eli and we have been great! We do fight an awful lot but we always seem to get through it. I was doing homework that is until I felt someone's hands cover my eyes. I immediately freaked out. I was about to scream when the person behind me whispered in my ear. I relaxed and smiled.
"Hey. What are you doing?" Once I had relaxed he chuckled. He removed his hands and joined me on the bench. He put his arm around me and out of instinct I put my head on his shoulder. I sighed rather loudly.
"What?" He asked concerned.
"Nothing. I'm just so happy. I'm just happy with life and with you. I'm so glad we started dating!" I exclaimed. I regretted my words and blushed madly.
"Hey, don't worry. I'm glad that we are dating too. And I'm happy with you. Speaking of dating, how would you like to go on our second date tonight? I'll bring you home early since it is a school night." He winked after he said that. I laughed.
"Sure." I replied. He looked at me and pouted so I decided to ask, "What?"
"Sure? That's all I get? I just asked you on our second date and all you say is sure?" He says.
"Well how do you want me to answer?" I ask.
"Ask me out for our second date and find out." He states. I roll my eyes but still ask,
"Eli, would you like to go on our second date with me tonight?" I expected him to put on a girly voice but no. He used his own voice and sounded serious when he said,
"Clare, I would honestly love to! I have dreamt for our second date the second our first one ended." I sat speechless. Did he really mean that? He smirked and as if he read my mind.
"Yes. I mean every word of it. I have dreamt but that is how you respond to something like that. So Clare would you like to accompany me on our second date tonight and make my dream come true?" He asked again. I still had no words so I just nodded. He sighed.
"First a sure and now a nod? I should have stuck to the one worded response. That is better than none at all." He said. I laughed and hit him on the arm. When I finally found my voice I asked,
"So where are we going on this second date?"
"That my lovely Clare is up to you. But it has to be fun, something that both of us will enjoy. And don't worry about the cost. Whatever you want is yours." I knew he was trying to be nice. I knew that there was a limit to the price but just because he said there wasn't I decided to tease him.
"Alright. Let's fly first class to Paris!" I exclaim. It was very hard to not laugh because he looked horrified. He laughed nervously and said,
"You remember how I said price wasn't an issue? Well I kind of meant in this country. Sorry, but Paris will have to wait until let's say our six month anniversary?" He is just so sweet.
"We'll see and I was just kidding. How about we go miniature golfing? I have never done it before but it is fun, right?" He looked shocked after I said that.
"You've never been miniature golfing? Clare, we have to go as soon as we are out of school. That is like a sin!" He joked. We both laughed and agreed on that. I was now in math. Thankfully Alli is my partner in this class. We are supposed to be doing the problems but combine me and Alli together rand you get us being finished forty five minutes early. This always happens and we always end up passing notes. Right now we are talking about Eli an I's relationship.
He still hasn't kissed you?
Nope.
Nope? That's it? Clare, nothing more than a one worded answer? Second time that has happened to me today.
Yes, why?
I would be mad.
Alli, today we are going on our SECOND date. Only our second date! Second not tenth!
It doesn't matter. It has been what? Three days since you two started dating? And you two were best friends before you started dating.
Were? Alli. Eli and I are still very much best friends. Just in a more loving way.
Loving? Clare did you just write loving? Do you love him?
No! I know I could be falling in love with him and I think I might already be just a little bit.
"Clare!" She screamed. Everybody in the class looked at her including the teacher.
"Clare Alli is there something you would like to share with the class?" Our teacher asked.
"No." We responded in unison.
"Good. Now get back to your math problems." She said.
"We already finished them." Alli said.
"Okay then. If you are done you wouldn't mind cleaning the windows for the classroom next door as a punishment for disturbing my class?" She said then walked away. Alli and I quickly exited the classroom and went to get the cleaning supplies. Once we got all of the stuff we needed we headed toward the classroom our teacher told us to go to. I noticed that this class was 11th grade History. Eli is in that class.
"Oooo! You're man is in this class!" Alli exclaimed.
"He isn't my man….yet." I blushed once I saw the look Alli gave me.
"What? We both like each other a lot. It'll happen one day!
"Well according to the note you passed me you are already falling in love with him." She said.
"I said a little!" I screamed causing everyone in that class to stare at us. I saw Eli looking directly into my eyes smirking. The teacher walked to us and asked why we weren't in class. We told him that our teacher sent us over to clean the windows. He didn't look convinced so he said he was going to go ask our teacher. Eli, of course being Eli, left the classroom while the teacher was away.
"Skipping class without me, Edwards? I'm hurt." He said with sarcasm. I innocently smiled while Alli explained the situation. Alli was about to tell Eli what I had written so I jumped into his arms saying,
"I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too!" He said while hugging me back.
Eli's POV
That hug earlier was unexpected but I welcomed her into my arms anyway. Ever since that moment Clare has been very secretive. I was going to ask her about it on our date. I was currently waiting for her by Morty. I don't know what is taking her so long. After ten more minutes of waiting I saw her come out of the school. She walked over to me.
"What took you so long, missy?" I asked.
"Sorry, Adam was talking to me." She says.
"Adam? What did he want?" I demanded. She looked confused but answered anyway.
"He needed the homework. Now, can we go?"
"Yes, my dear. We can go." We get into the car and I drive to the miniature golfing place. Clare was quiet the whole ride. It was weird because she is never quiet around me.
"You alright, Clare?" I ask her as I park the car.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She's lying. I can tell. I wonder what's bothering her. We walk up to the desk and get our balls and puts.
"Eli, how do you do this?" Clare asks me once we are on the course. Her eyes were searching all around trying to figure out what to do. She looked so precious and I swore to myself to treasure this moment.
"Here let me help you." I put my stuff on the ground and walk over to her. I take her ball and place it on the circle and then step behind her. I show her the motion. I know cliché! Guy puts arms around girl and "helps" her but whatever! I didn't care. Once she got the hang of it we started the game. Her first few tries she totally missed. She pouted like a five year old.
"You want more help?" I ask her and she nods. I take the place where I was before and help her. It still missed.
"Okay. I think I have had way more than enough tries. It is your turn now!" I nodded and picked up my stuff. I hit the ball and it went in on the first try.
"That's not fair!" Clare exclaimed. I laughed and said,
"Sweetheart, you'll get better. I promise." Turns out I was wrong. The whole entire game Clare did not get a single ball into the hole. She tried but it just never went in. And when I tried it always went in. I feel bad. Right now we are sitting in the car. I found this the perfect opportunity to ask what the matter is.
"Clare. Tell me what's wrong." I looked over at her.
"What? Eli, it is just a game. I'm fine." She said with a laugh.
"This isn't about the game." I say.
"Then what is it about?" She asks.
"You tell me." I reply. She sighs and says,
"Alli was about to tell you something that I didn't want you knowing."
"Why don't you want me to know? Clare please just tell me what I did wrong." I pleaded.
"I just don't want you knowing. At least not yet. You did absolutely nothing wrong." She answered sweetly.
"Do you promise?" I ask.
"I promise." She replies.
"You know," She continues. "You should give me a reward for being such a good loser."
"I should, should I?" I answer. She nods.
"Well I have the perfect thing." I lean in and capture her lips with mine. It was short yet sweet and I loved every second of it. We pulled away smiling.
"I liked that reward." She says.
"Me too." I agree and then kiss her again. As I kiss her I can only think of how much trouble my heart is in.
So review for me please? Thanks!
