Chapter 9

Eli's P.O.V.

I stared at my cousin, Anna Grace. I smirked. " Knock much?"

She grinned. " Shut up. No wonder your parents called for me. They're gonna be staying a while longer." She crossed her arms over her chest. " And don't speak to me like that. I'm an adult."

I rolled my eyes as I eased off of Clare, helping her up. Her face was beet red and she kept her eyes to the ground. " But your only 21."

She stomped her foot childishly. " But I can drink. Therefore, damn it, I'm and ADULT!" She turned her gaze on Clare and eased her temper down. " Hi, I'm Anna Grace. Eli's eldest cousin."

Clare stuck her hand out shyly shaking hers. " N-nice to meet you. I'm Clare. Sorry. We, um, fell."

She snorted. " Right. Eli, I got my eyes on you. Don't go and turn this girl bad," she winked at me. " See ya, I'll be down stairs if ya need me."

I gaped at her. " What? You're staying?"

She smiled one of those ' I got ya now ' smiles and walked off. What a-

" Um, I think I should go," Clare said next to me, " I can still make it to 4th period."

" No," I grabbed her hand hoping to use my eyes at their fullest power, " Stay."

Clare's P.O.V.

I blinked twice. Were his eyes...sparkling? I didn't even know what I was saying at the moment. " Beautiful," I whispered.

He smiled. " What?"

I shook my head startled by my own words. " Um, nothing. I'll stay. But I have to leave as soon as school's out. My mom's picking me up. She'll kill you if she finds out I skipped school with you."

He grinned. " Aw, Clare. Taking a bullet for me? You shouldn't." He wrapped me in his arms and held me there. I breathed in his scent, taking every second in his arms and filing them into my brain to keep safe for a rainy day.

He pulled away and looked at me. A blush rose to his cheeks and he quickly turned away. I smiled slowly. Time for me to mess with him.

" Are you blushing, Eli?" I asked touching his cheek lightly.

His eyes went wide and the blush grew. " No! I-it's getting too hot in here. Maybe I should go set the thermostat again."

I grabbed his wrist as he did with me so many times. I moved closer catching my breath in surprise at my own boldness. " Too hot for your liking?"

He froze. Then he moved so quickly I didn't even know what to think. I was suddenly on the bed, Eli cradling me in his arms.

" Eli!" I shrieked at him.

His lips touched my throat, silencing me. " Are you trying to seduce me, Edwards?"

I could barely speak. The feeling of his lips sent shivers through me, blurring my concentration. " Um, what? Sorry, didn't quite catch that."

He chuckled. " You know that's my job. Don't you?" His lips trailed a line of kissed down my color bone and back up to my chin, teasing me by avoiding my lips.

" Uh...sorry?" I said. Why did he distract me so much? I tried to reach for him so that he could kiss me already but he was too quick.

He stood and began to walk towards the door, that arrogant smirk displayed across his lips. He winked. " You have a lot to learn young grasshopper if you think you can ever seduce me." Then he left.

I blushed crimson. " Wait, where are you going? Eli!"

Alli's P.O.V.

Where the hell was Clare? I sat at my desk thinking to myself. Then I smiled slowly. No, I thought, she wouldn't have.

I looked over to the boy sitting next to me. I think his name was Adam. I had seen him and Eli hanging out a couple of times so maybe they were friends.

" Hey, Adam," I said with a friendly smile, " Have you seen Eli or Clare today by any chance?"

He shook his head. " No, not since this morning. Why?"

I turned back forward, grinning from ear to ear. I must have looked crazy to him. " No reason." I was soo gonna swamp Clare for details!

Adam's P.O.V.

So they weren't at school today. I sighed. I had just gotten up the little courage I had to tell them my secret, too, seeing as I might go under surgery soon. I looked at the clock on the wall. 1:04. Time seemed to be going by fast. I slumped down into my seat. Maybe I wasn't meant to tell them.

" Adam? Are you feeling alright?" the teacher asked. I quickly sat up straight.

" Um, yes ma'am. Just...tired."

She looked at me disapprovingly. " Well, school's almost out. You can hold until then."

I shrugged more to myself than her. " We'll see."

Anna Grace's P.O.V.

I giggled to myself . Their footsteps ran overhead me. What were they doing, playing tag? I stared at the television. BORING! Where's the scary movies? I looked in the cabinet under the TV. I almost screamed when I heard a loud thud upstairs.

" Eli!" I heard Clare yell.

" So sorry, Clare! Are you okay?" I heard him mummble something that I didn't quite get.

" No!" she said, not sounding angry but amused.

He laughed. " Here, let me help!"

She giggled. " No." Then the runnig footsteps started up again.

I sighed. Young love. What are you gonna?
