I am so sorry that I went kinda MIA on you guys...I Feel so bad for not putting this up when I said I was going to. I hope you like this chapter. I don't really like it but it is mostly filler. It is all leading up to something.
"Are you hungry Eli? Cause all this crazy drama has made me hungry and I could sure as hell use a glass of wine" Clare said to Eli
"You know me Clare, when am I not hungry?" Eli responded
"That's not true Eli, we haven't spoken in 10 years, so I don't know you anymore" Clare said with a frown
"I'm going to order some Chinese takeout, you still like all the old favorites?" Clare asked Eli
"Yup that hasn't changed" said Eli
Clare proceeded to order the takeout. That was one of the things that she loved most about New York, no matter what time it was you could always order takeout. She then walked into the kitchen grabbed two wine glasses out of the cabinet, then she went to the fridge where she had 2 bottles of her favorite moscato chilling. She took out a bottle and opened it and proceeded to pour. She walked back into the bedroom and handed Eli a glass.
"The food will be here in about 30 minutes" Clare told Eli
"Sounds good Clare. Are you sure your okay?" asked Eli
"Yea Eli I am fine. There is just one thing that is bothering me."
"What is that Clare?" Eli asked
"I just don't understand how he found me. I mean I moved while he was in jail so he couldn't follow me and I've kept myself unlisted" stated Clare
"I don't know, maybe that is something we can look into with the police" said Eli
"Thank you Eli" Clare said throwing her arms around Eli and pulling him into a hug. When Clare pulled away from Eli she couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing about Edwards?" Eli asked
"It's just if you would have told me last week that my ex boyfriend who broke my heart 10 years ago would pop back into my life unexpectedly , then save my life and be here in my apartment I would have told you that you were fucking crazy" Clare said laughing hysterically
Eli couldn't help but smile at the gorgeous Blue Eyed woman sitting next to him laughing. He had missed this, these moments and most of all he had missed her. He knew he needed to explain what happened but he knew Clare wasn't ready to talk about it and he was truly okay with just spending time with her and trying to re-build there friendship...at Least for right now. She had after all been more then just his girlfriend and lover, she had been his best friend and he missed his best friend.
Clare just sat there watching the green eyed man she loved all those years ago staring at her and she wondered what it was that was going through his head.
"What is going through that mid of yours Eli?" Clare asked
"I'm just thinking I've missed this, I've missed you. I am so sorry for going 10 years without talking to you or apologizing to you. I'm a fucking asshole who doesn't deserve to be here with you" Eli said with tears running down his face
"Oh Eli" Clare said running her thumb across his face to wipe away his tears
"Eli I can't promise you that when we actually have that conversation that I wont be mad and want to hate you, but right now in this moment I can't feel anything but love for you. You saved my life and if I'm being honest with you I've missed you like crazy over these last 10 years" Clare side bringing her forehead to Eli's.
She was staring into his beautiful green eyes and the overwhelming urge to kiss him over took her. She felt herself leaning into him and he in turn leaned into her as well. Right as there lips were about to touch the call box went off letting her know that there takeout arrived. She jumped off the bed at lightning speed and said
"That would be our food"
As she walked away to buzz in the delivery man she thought to herself "What am I doing? This is the man who broke my heart, but boy did I want to kiss him so bad."
"Clare and I were just about to kiss, what is going on here?" Eli thought
"I don't deserve to have her kiss me, she is probably going through that Florence Nightingale syndrome. I mean I saved her life and now she wants me, that's all this was" Eli tells himself.
"Do you want to eat here in the bedroom or in the living room" Clare asked bringing Eli out of his thoughts
"Wherever you want Clare" answered Eli
"Well since were already comfortable in the bedroom will just stay here" Clare says bringing in the food and some plates.
"So Eli I was thinking we could play a game while we eat. What do you say?" asked Clare
"Depends, what game?"
"20 Questions" said Clare
"Okay I'm in" said Eli
"Okay guest's first" said Clare
"Oh wow just throw me to the wolves" Eli laughed
"Um...where Did you go to college?"
"Ahh starting with the easy questions" Clare laughed
"I went to USC" CLare answered
"Nice sunny California" Eli remarked "Your turn"
"Okay I am going to go a lot more personal then you went. How many girls have you been with since you stopped talking to me?" Clare asked
"Wow so you went there" Eli laughed
"Honestly just 2"
"Seriously only 2?" Clare said
"Ahh Clare it's my turn to ask a question" Eli said with a smirk on his face
"Your right, sorry"
"Why did you go to USC?"
"Cause as much as I wanted to be here in New York at NYU, the thought of possibly running into you with some new girlfriend killed me and I couldn't put myself through that" answered Clare with sadness in her voice
Eli just sat there looking at Clare with sadness
"Well my turn" Clare said snapping herself out of it
"Are you in a relationship?" Clare asked
Eli Laughed "No,I haven't had a relationship in about 6 years"
"Wow 6 years" Clare exclaimed with shock in her voice
They had finished eating so they were cleaning up there plates while still playing. Eli decided to change up the game.
"So Clare what do you say we change up the game?" Eli asked
"What did you have in mind?" asked Clare
"Truth or Dare" said Eli
"Bring it" said Clare
"Ladies first" said Eli"
"Okay ELi Truth or Dare?"
"Truth" said Eli
"If I were to try to seduce you would you reject me?" Clare asked with a smirk on her face
"Definitely not" Eli answered
"Good to know" said Clare laughing
"Clare truth or dare?"
"Truth" responded Clare
"Okay do you regret losing your virginity to me?"
"Never, not for one second. I'd regret it if it had been anyone else but you" said Clare
"Truth or Dare Eli?"
"Dare" Eli said feeling brave
"Okay I dare you to kiss me. Forget the past 10 years for a moment and just kiss me , however it is that you want to kiss me" said Clare
Holy Cliffhanger Batman...what Do you think will happen? What do you want to see happen? Let me know what you guys think. I promise you that it will eventually come out why he left Clare and there will be things that happen between them that will bring them together and pull them apart so bare with me :)
