I'm back with an Update...sorry I haven't been updating as quickly as before. My B-day is on Sunday so most of my time has been spent at work or planning my birthday. I hope you like this chapter. It is kind of a filler chapter. I hope you all enjoy it and review it. Be sure to send me some Birthday love on Sunday :) Love you guys and I promise after this week I will be doing weekly updates...maybe Every Thursday or Friday we will see how it all plays out :)
Eli was the first one to wake up in the morning. He thought back to the amazing dream he had that night, about how he saved Clare from her abusive EX and then they made passionate love. It was the best dream he had ever had. Suddenly Eli was brought out of his memory when he felt the pillow he was clutching in his arms start to move. He looked down and realized he wasn't hugging a pillow he was hugging a naked Clare in his arms. A huge grin came upon his face cause he now realized it wasn't a dream after all. It was reality and in Eli's eyes it was the best FUCKING reality check in the whole entire world.
Clare stirred for a little while and then her eyes fluttered open. She looked up to see a pair of gorgeous green eyes staring at her. She couldn't contain her blush and her smile when she woke up to find herself naked in Eli's arms.
"Good Morning Eli" Clare said with her morning voice
"Good Morning my Darling Clare" Eli said with a huge smile plastered on his face
"What time is it?" Clare asked
Eli looked over Clare's shoulder to the clock that laid on her night stand.
"It's 9:15am" Eli stated
"Why don't you go take a shower and I'll make us some breakfast" said Clare
As Clare went to get off of the bed she felt Eli's arms snake around her waist and pull her into him.
"What, no morning KISS CLARE?" Eli asked with a smirk plastered on his face
"Eli I have morning breath"
"I don't care, I've been dreaming about having you wake up in my arms for the past 10 years. I am not going to let a little morning breath get in the way of me kissing the most beautiful woman in the world this morning" stated Eli
Clare couldn't help the blush that appeared on her cheeks and the huge grin that was now on her face. She leaned into him and gave him a morning kiss that he would never forget.
"Wow you still manage to take my breath away Edwards"
"Still such a charmer the morning after huh Glodsworthy?" Clare giggled
"You've always been the only one to bring out the charmer in me" Eli said with a smirk on his face
"Now go take a shower and brush your teeth, there are extra tooth brushes under the sink in the bathroom" Clare said while laughing
Clare led Eli to the guest bathroom and handed him a towel. Once he was situated she walked into her bathroom and took a quick shower, then brushed her teeth. As she stared at herself in the mirror while she brushed her teeth she couldn't stop the smile that was on her face. She knew it was wrong to be feeling this way, after all Eli did leave her all those years ago, without even giving her a reason...hell He didn't even technically break up with her. She knew that she needed to know why he left her high and dry, but she didn't want to know just yet. She was happy for the first time in 10 years and she wanted to savior this feeling for as long as she could before she had Eli tell her the truth.
When Eli came out of the bathroom he walked into Clare's bedroom. He noticed Clare sitting at her desk typing vigorously on her laptop, so he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her placing butterfly kisses on her exposed shoulders since she was wearing a tank top.
"What do you think your doing Elijah?" giggled Clare
"I don't have the slightest clue what your talking about Clare" He responded in a husky tone
"Well whatever it is that your doing is distracting me from writing this review on an amazing play I saw last night"
"I think your review can wait so you can make-out and make love to a handsome director you re-met last night" Eli laughed
"Well I don't think that's such a good idea"
"Oh- Oh I'm so sorry Clare I over stepped my bounds, I should just uh- um go" Eli stated as he started to walk away
As he was walking away he felt Clare's hand grab onto his wrist and turn him around to face her.
"Eli that isn't what I meant. I would love nothing more then to make-out and make love to said handsome director, but this article needs to be emailed to my editor by 11am and it is 10:25am right now" Clare said softly
"Oh, sorry I kind of mis-read that situation didn't I" laughed Eli
"Yes, Yes you did" Clare laughed
"Give me 15 minutes, I'm almost done and then I am all yours for the rest of the day. That is if your free today and want to spend the day with me?" Clare asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Clare I'd love nothing more then to spend a whole day with you" Eli says while cupping her cheek and kissing her gently
As Eli pulled away from the kiss he could see the smile on Clare's face as she giggled. He loved seeing her like this, he had missed seeing her like this. For the first time in 10 years he felt truly happy, he felt complete. For the past 10 years something had felt like it was missing and now he knew that the missing piece of him was Clare. He never wanted to be without her again although he knew that when the time came for him to tell her what happened all those years ago she would probably never want to speak to him again. At that moment Eli decided he was just going to live in the here and now, taking everything day by day. Just spending as much time as he could with the woman that he loves until she asks him to tell her the truth.
Eli sat in the living room while Clare finished up her article in her bedroom. Eli was sitting on her couch with his eyes closed, he was re-living the last 18 hours over and over in his head. When all of a sudden he felt someone in his lap and arms around his neck. He opened his eyes to see Clare looking at him with a huge grin on her face. Clare cupped Elis cheek and placed a soft, gentle kiss on his lips.
"Hey" was all Clare could muster out
"Hello Beautiful" replied Eli
"So what shall we do today Mr.. Goldsworthy?"
"Well I was thinking that we would just wander around the city for the day, we never did get the chance to explore the city together and I'd like to make up for that today. Also bring a change of clothes cause I'd like to take you back to my apartment and cook you dinner"
"So eating dinner requires a change of clothes?"
"No, but the things I plan on doing to you after dinner are going to leave you too exhausted to be able to leave my apartment so you'll just have to sleepover" Eli whispered in Clares ear "So sound like a good plan?" Eli asked
"It sounds like the PERFECT DATE ELI" Clare said planting a passionate kiss on Eli's lips
So there you go Chapter 6...so eli's secret will be revealed in about 2 chapters and there will be a time jump. Also some people have asked and I am going to answer yes Adam will be making an appearance along with few other favorites.
