Chapter 12

Clare's P.O.V.

" Eli! What is it?" I wined with irritation. I tried to pry his hands away from my eyes but he wouldn't budge.

" Just a little further...now!" He uncovered my eyes and I smiled widely.

" Oh, Eli!" I couldn't believe that he would go out of his way for this.

He smiled wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my cheek softly. " Happy three week anniversary."

I stared at the large cake sitting on his counter. It was beautiful with streamers and all shades of blue icing.

" Wow, Eli." Anna Grace came into the kitchen and circled the cake. " You couldn't have made this." She narrowed her eyes on him. " Moo-Moo Bakery?"

He smirked. " Now why would you think that?"

She went over to the cupboard and took out an empty cake box. " Mhm, just as I thought," she said, a similar smirk on her face, " Evidence!"

He laughed and held up his arms causing me to pout. I loved his warmth. " Guilty." He winked at me and I blushed.

Anna Grace dumped the box in the trash and grinned as she walked past us. " You two kids have fun now!" She did s double take next to Eli and stared at his face.

" What?" he asked.

She put her hand over her mouth in horror. " There's a spider on your cheek!"

"A spi-" Eli started.

She held her hand up high, " Here, I'll get it." Then she brought it down and smacked him across the face.

Eli's eyes went wide and he stumbled away from Anna Grace as she bellowed a laugh.

" That's what you get for taking my credit card, brat," she said, " Don't think I didn't know. I got my eyes on you."

She walked out of the room smiling proudly.

" Did she just-"

" Yes, Eli...you got SMACKED!" I laughed so hard my side began to hurt.

Eli's eyes narrowed on me. " Now you've made me mad, Edwards." He grabbed me by the waist, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.

I flailed my arms and legs. " Put me down!"

He laughed. " No." Then he began to walk out of the kitchen.

" But I wanted cake!" I yelled.

He put me on my feet in living room and looked me over. " Now, what should your torture be?"

I thought for a minute. " OHH! I know, you can play some of your music and make my ears bleed."

He rolled his eyes. " How about a thousand kisses!" His lips found mine and I gasped as we began to fall.

I stared down at him and smiled. " Now isn't this backwards?"

He smirked. " This was your plan from the beginning."

I swatted his shoulder playfully. " Nu-uh!"

We laughed. I stared into his green eyes and smiled. He was beautiful. I rested my head against his chest. " Mine," I whispered.

" Huh?"

I smiled. " You're mine."

He sighed. " And you're mine."

Adam's P.O.V.

I walked up to Eli's porch. I didn't exactly know how I was going to tell him that I am transgender. I had planned to tell him, then Clare since she was my second bestest friend. I sighed and knocked on the door. It opened and a woman with jet black hair and blue eyes smiled at me.

" Hi," she said, " Are you one of Eli's friends? I'm Anna Grace, Eli's cousin."

I smiled back. "Um, Hi, I'm Adam. It's nice to meet you."

She opened the door wider and stepped aside giving me room to come in. "It's nice to meet you, too Adam. He's in the living room, I believe." Then she walked off into a room and closed the door behind her. I smiled. She was a nice lady.

I walked into the living room and blushed madly. Eli and Clare lay on the floor kissing.

I cleared my throat awkwardly. Their heads snapped up at me. Clare's cheeks were crimson red. Eli seemed to have no shame in their positon.

" What's up, Adam?" he said nonchalantly as Clare eased herself off of him.

I stood there at a loss for words. Should I just tell them both right here, right now?

Clare must have detected my wariness because she said with a worried look on her face, " What's wrong?"

I sighed. It's time to face the music. " I think that you guys might want to sit down for this."

" Dude," Eli said, " We are sitting. Spill it."

I let out of a deep breath. Okay, here it goes. " I'm a, uh, FTM transgender."

They sat there for a moment. " And that's...?" Eli said confused.

I sighed. " I'm a female to male transgender. I mean, I've always known that I was a guy. I was just born in a girl's body."

Clare nodded slowly. " Okay."

Eli shrugged. " Cooool."

I smiled. " Really?"

He smirked. " Yeah. But does this mean that I can't let one rip in front of you anymore?"

I laughed. " Eli, I'd be insulted if you didn't."

Clare smiled and wrinkled her nose. " You guys are fowl."

Eli laughed and put his arm around Clare. " You love it."

She giggled and I got that feeling that it was time for me to leave. I smiled at them. " I think I'm gonna leave now. See ya at school."

They said goodbye and I left the house feeling more confident than I ever could.

Author's Note: So, yeah, I took the time to put Adam's stuff in this one, but it'll be Fitz drama for the next one soooo BE PREPARED! XD REVIEW and all that good stuff;)
