CLARE'S POV

I read Eli's paper, and couldn't help, but start crying. Eli saw me and rushed over across the table.

"Are you ok, Blue Eyes?"

I nodded my head. "I think we should talk."

Eli nodded. The bell rang, and I went to exit the room, when I felt a pair of hands intertwining with my hands. I smiled.

Then Eli whispered in my ear, "Wanna skip?" He sent chills down my spine. I nodded. We got in Morty and started to drive. We drove in silence. We arrived at the park.

He opened my door, and grabbed my hand. I started to get goose bumps.

"Do I make you nervous, Blue Eyes?"

"No, well yes, but that's no why I'm shivering."

"Then why are you?" We were now sitting on a bench.

"I'm cold, and forgot my jacket at home."

"Oh, then we're going to have fix that, correct?"

Before I could answer his puzzling question, he was taking off his jacket and handing it to me.

"I can't take your jacket, you'll be cold." I muttered.

"Take it please. You don't want to see me beg."

"I kind of do." I said sarcastically.

"Well that's not going to happen. Now put the jacket on. PLEASE."

I put the jacket on. "Only for you." I winked.

ELI'S POV

I smirked. "I have questions. You probably do too, so let's start."

"OK." She answered.

"What are you thinking?"

"Honestly, I'm thinking about the paper you wrote."

"Did you like it?"

She sighed. "Of course I did, but…." She didn't finish.

"But, What?"

She looked in my eyes. There was a long pause.

"What's on your mind, Blue Eyes?"

"I did like the paper, but I wander if it was just for my amusement, or you meant every word you said."

I kissed her. The kiss had so much passion.

"Wow." she said.

"Yeah. Now does that answer your question."

"Kind of. I have a question for you Green Eyes."

"ok?"

"Do…."sigh "Do you really love me?" She looked at the ground.

Eli smirked. " Hey look at me. I Elijah Goldsworthy, love you Clare Edwards."

She smiled. "You better. Oh, and I guess I love you." she winked.

Then we kissed. "I think it's time I get you home, Blue Eyes." I whispered sending chills through her.

"If you must." Then I grabbed her hand and we headed toward the car.

We were in the car, me driving with one hand, and my other hand intertwined with Clare's.

I arrived at Clare's house, and nobody was home. I walked her to the door.

"Eli."

"Yes, Blue Eyes."

"When I told you I liked you why did you say oh."

"Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had? Honestly, I was scared. I was scared to love anyone after Julia. I know I liked you, but I wasn't good enough for you, I still don't know if I'm good enough for you."

"Hey. Listen to me. You are everything I could imagine. After KC I didn't know I could find someone that would be right for me. You aren't right for me, you're perfect for me."

I kissed her.

"How did I get so lucky?" I asked

"It helps that your hot." She laughed.

"I guess it does. I think I should leave before your parents come home."

"OK." I kissed her.

"Oh and Green Eyes."

"Yeah."

"I had a great time today."

"Me too."
