Hey all of my readers and reviewers! You are all very fantastic and guess what? You reached 50 before chapter 6! That made me so happy! Now I really would like to get to 100 before this story ends! It will be around 15 chapters maybe longer but around there so you all have time! Okay thanks for reviewing! You are all so amazing!
Eli's POV
Clare and I have been okay. It has been a week and two days since the bet and luck is defiantly on my side. I can tell she is falling for me. The only problem is I am starting to like her also. I'll get over it though so I don't have to worry. It is just a little crush. The one thing I don't understand though is that we fight constantly. Once I apologize and she forgives me everything is fine. Yes, you heard right every time I have to apologize because I am the one that did something wrong. Right now she and I are fighting about how I didn't do my part of our English project. Which she has every right to be mad, I didn't do it. It is due next period and it isn't finished because of me. Let's just say I feel extremely, extremely bad. So because of this she has been yelling at me while I get books out of my locker.
"Hey! Answer the question! How could you not do it? You do know that it is forty percent of our final grade, correct?" She screamed.
"I can fix this! Don't you worry." I tell her then walk away. You see she was going to write the essay portion while I presented it. The bad thing is I didn't prepare at all. So I have to wing it and pray that Ms. Dawes likes it.
*After School*
"I can't believe she fell for it!" Clare exclaims as we walk towards Morty.
"What? You have to admit that my presentation was very good and convincing." I said. We arrived at the car and I opened the door for her. When I saw that she made no movement and say tears in her eyes I decided to ask,
"What's wrong?" I grabbed her hand. She shook her head no and shut her eyes tightly. Her tears came down like the pouring rain.
"Clare, I'm sorry I didn't do the project. That will never happen again, I promise. But I did sell it very well and I'm sure that we will get a good grade." I tried to comfort her but I wasn't quite sure if I was doing just that. I'm very glad that no one was in the parking lot because if there were I wouldn't have heard her whisper,
"It is not about that."
"What's it about then?" I asked while pulling her into a hug. She sobbed into my chest but managed to choke out,
"Us." Us? She can't break up with me, no! That can't happen.
"Us? Clare, please don't break up with me." I pleaded. She lifted her head and smiled a bit.
"I'm not breaking up with you. It's just that…" She trailed off and her face turned sad again.
"It's just what Clare?" I pushed.
"All we do is fight." She stated.
"That's not all we do." I tell her.
"I beg to differ. Eli, can I ask you something?" I smile at her and reply,
"Always." She smiles back and asks,
"Am I worth it?" My mind went from happy to confused in a matter of seconds.
"Huh?" I ask. She laughs a little but I can tell that this is really bothering her.
"I mean, am I worth it. Like, is all the fighting worth the relationship?" She explained. Ho could she ask me something like this?"
"Clare, you're way more than worth it. I would rather fight with you every single minute then have a perfect relationship with any other girl." I say with a smile. And for the first time since the bet I meant every word.
Clare's POV
Did he just really say that? That was so sweet!
"Really?" I asked in disbelief.
"I promise you, that you are my one. My only one. Don't ever think otherwise. Now wipe those tears away and put on that gorgeous smile of yours so that I can drive you home." I laughed and obeyed to his orders. The drive was filled with smiles and loving looks. I have fallen in love with him and I plan to tell him soon. I know he doesn't feel the same way and that's okay as long as he is okay with me loving him already.
"Thank you for the ride, Eli! I lo- I'll call you later." I shut the door and sprinted into my home. I know I said that I wanted him to know that I love him but I was not about to tell him that way. No way! I still just can't believe that I almost told him that I love him. Ugh! I am lying on my bed with my eyes closed when all of a sudden I feel my phone vibrating. I took it out of my pants pocket to see who my new text message was from. It was from Eli. GREAT!
Hey! This is ridiculous! I just dropped you off and I'm already missing you like crazy! Come to me my girlfriend and take this feeling away!
I laughed when I saw that. He can be such a drama queen at times. Well drama king. I don't know what to call him but you get the picture!
I miss you too! I wish, boyfriend but how do you suppose I get there? I texted back.
I'm going to snap my fingers and then you'll be here. A few seconds later I received another text.
It didn't work. :(
I laughed at his response.
I'm sorry, love.
I clicked send and then realized what I had just said. He is going to hate me! I get a text about a minute later. I am scared to open it but I do anyway.
Love, eh? I could get used to that. Does that mean you've fallen in love with me?
He seemed so cool about it. Maybe he feels the same way.
I am not about to talk about this through text.
Okay. We'll talk about it when you come over to my house tomorrow after school to "study".
Alright, see you then! I went to sleep after that.
*They Next Day*
I was nervous all day long. I have been avoiding Eli and I know he can tell. The worst part about that is he knows why I am. After my last class I went to my locker to find Eli standing at it. I walked up to him and my locker silently and I avoided his gaze.
"You can stop avoiding me now. It's okay." I didn't reply so he stopped me from getting my books out of my locker and pulled me into a hug. If you haven't noticed we do that a lot but I love every single one of them.
"Nothing to worry about, love." He put the emphasis on the word love. I blushed madly and said,
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to send you that."
"It is perfectly fine but let us talk more about it at my house. Come on!" He said. I finished getting the books I needed and then he dragged me out of school. The drive to his house was completely silent and a little awkward. Thank goodness the drive is short. We pulled up to his house seconds later. I was so nervous that I was shaking. We got out of the car and went into his house.
"Mom! I'm home! And I have Clare with me." His parents love me so I never felt uncomfortable to be at their house. This time however was much different. Not only am I now Eli's girlfriend. I'm not so sure that he told his parents about us yet.
"Hello baby boy and Clare. It has been forever since I last saw you!" Cece said. I nodded in agreement because I couldn't trust my voice right now. Eli most have sensed my discomfort because he put is arm around me and told his mom that we would be upstairs. Once we were in his room he told me,
"Clare. You have to calm down, okay? There is no reason to feel nervous or uncomfortable. It is just me and look at it this way. You know the talk is coming." That just made me even more nervous.
"Would you like me to tell you my side of this first?" I ignored his question and asked him one of my own.
"Why are you so calm about all of this?" He came closer to me and put his hands on my hips. He made small slow circles on them. I immediately calmed down and for the first time today I didn't feel nervous or uncomfortable. I felt at ease. And to make it even better the guy that I love was the one who made me feel better.
"Because I love you." He said sweetly. That melted my heart. I honestly feel like I could do anything when he is by my side.
"I love you too!" I reply.
"I know." He teases and then kisses me. He kissed me with so much passion. Not that I don't love every kiss we share. There is just something about this kiss that was different. A good different.
Okay so I really liked this chapter! It gave you the fight and the sweet! Tell me if you felt the same. I am going to try to update again sometime this week. I promise I will really try.
REVIEW! :)
