A/N: I just want to say thanks to Newlovergirl. Without her I would have lost inspiration and just stopped updating! Anyway, she gave me a lot of ideas and so, here I am updating!
And another thing is that I would like to dedicate this chapter to one person who really inspired me: Newlovergirl.
...Anyway let's get on with the story!
Clare's POV
What do I do?
-What are you talking about? I ask
-I heard you. Now I want the truth. Eli responded
I looked nervous and Alli came to the rescue barging in.
-Are you two coming or...
Then she felt the tension in the room and she looked at me and I gave her a look that said: get me out of this conversation.
-Ummmm... Let's get going! We need to go to Little Miss Steak House before it's packed! Alli said while grabbing my wrist and dragging me out of the room
I whispered her thanks while going down the stairs.
-Let's go! Fiona said
Then we all realized that Eli was still upstairs and the only way we were going to get to the restaurant is if we have transportation and usually it was Morty.
-ELI! Adam screamed
-COMING! Eli yelled
He came down and looked at me. His eyes were sad.
-I need to talk to Clare first. We are not leaving until I get an answer from you. He said
Fiona's stomach grumbled
-Sorry to tell you but since we did not eat lunch and it is late in the afternoon, I would like to eat. I will call us a taxi and Eli and Clare can come and join us when they are ready. We will wait for you. Come on!
She took out her phone and called a taxi. Eli waited till the taxi was her to talk. With my bad luck, the taxi was her within a minute.
That's fast! I thought
They all got in the taxi and drove off. I turned around and Eli was looking at me heavily.
-Tell me the truth Clare. He said simply
-It's fine! I'm fine with it! Just because I believe that you should wait till marriage does not mean everybody should. I said politely
-That's crap Clare! I heard everything between Drew and you! I want you to TELL me what you think of it. He started raising his voice because of his impatience.
I was silent for a moment. What could I say?
-Eli, I hate it. I hate the fact that you and Julia were sexually active but it was in the past. It eats me alive knowing that it is not your favourite thing that you have to wait for me because I do not want to have sex before marriage. It makes me feel pressured and I hate that too. And I feel more awful because you had sex and it... I don't know okay? There, I said it.
For over a minute nobody talked. He was absorbing everything I had just told him. His response that he came up with was unexpected.
-I did not know you then.
I cracked.
-Even if you did know me you would be with Julia! You loved her! More then me! If I died you would not be weeping for me. Eli, I love you and I promised to stand by you but there is only so much Julia I can take. I don't know how much but I am at the full extent of understanding.
He looked at me and there was tears forming in his eyes.
-What do you mean? You want to break up with me? And how could you say that? You make me feel like I could ever get better. Without you Clare, there would be no reason to do something. I love you. And I love you so much that I want to have sex with you. You said that when you love somebody so much you want to have it with them. Well that's how much I love you. Eli said
I sat on the couch speechless.
-Eli, I want to have sex with you but I promised that I would keep myself for marriage. I said while pointing to my ring.
-What if I gave you a promise ring? It's like an engagement ring and when we are old enough, we get married. That way, you do not break your promise and we are both happy. He suggested
-Do you only want sex? I asked him
He got up from the couch as soon as I asked him this question. He took my hands and sat next to me on the couch.
-I would never. I love you Clare. I really do. It's just you said you wanted to do it and I want to and if we do, do it, I will be able to show you how much I love you!
I looked at him. He does have a point. WHAT AM I SAYING? I would never do this. Yet, I would not be breaking my promise to God. And God wants us happy and I would be happy if we did do it.
-Yes. Okay. Promise ring and I will do it. But not now, not tomorrow. I want my promise ring now but not sex. I said
He looked at me shocked as if he was not expecting me to say that.
He took my face into his hands and pulled my lips to his. We started moving are lips in perfect sync. He then pushed his tongue across my teeth and massages his tongue against mine. I moan in the kiss. I have never experienced this much passion is his kisses.
It felt like hours that we were kissing but when I looked at the clock I could see that it was just over a minute.
He really does love me.
-I love you. Eli tells me
I smile and tell him that I love him too. As he was about to start kissing me again I realized that Adam and the rest were waiting for us at Little Miss Steaks.
-As much as I would love to keep kissing you, we need to go meet are friends at the restaurant. I said
He kissed me one last time and we got in Morty and headed of to meet are friends.
At Little Miss Steaks
Still Clare's POV
When I walked in the restaurant Holly J welcomed us and told us were Alli and the two others were sitting. As we approached the table I saw that Alli was biting her nails. That is never a good sign with Alli. I follow her gaze and see that she is staring at Johnny and he had an arm wrapped around a girl I had never seen before.
When I had put my coat on my seat, she grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to the women's bathroom. She made sure that nobody was in the bathroom stalls and
then started talking.
-Clare! What is he doing? He told me that he loves me and now he is her with another girl. How did he get a girl so fast? Maybe he was dating her when he asked me out! Maybe he is planning on cheating on me! I just can't believe... She started rambling on.
-Whoa Alli! How do you know if he is dating her or not? She could be just a friend. He only had his arm around her.
-You should have arrived sooner! He was sucking faces with her! Then he always looked at me! I swear he is doing it to make me jealous!
I looked at her with an idea.
-Alli! That's exactly what he is doing! He is trying to make you jealous so that you can reveal your true feelings about him! One way to see if he is dating her for real is to see if he had his eyes closed. If he had them open then he is doing it to make you jealous
She then gave me a stupid look.
-How am I supposed to know? He is five tables away from us!
-Well then when we go back to the table we will check. When you pass him and if he is kissing her, look at them and see. Okay? I propose to her.
-Are you kidding me? What if he sees me looking at him? You do it Clare! Please! She asked me. She did a face and I melted.
-Alli!
-Please?
-Fine!
We exited the bathroom. When Alli passed Johnny and his fake date's table, they started kissing. I looked at hem and saw that Johnny was staring at her with his eyes closed. My heart dropped for my friend but then I saw that when she tried to deepen the kiss to enter her tongue in his mouth, he pushed her away and made a disgusting face. My heart filled with joy.
I went up to their table and taped Johnny on the back. He looked surprised to see me.
-What's up Clare? Johnny asked me
-What's up? That's all you have to say to me? You came by my house today and asked Alli for forgiveness and to get back together and here you are kissing this girl. But you have not fooled me. You are trying to make Alli jealous. And it's working. She broke up with her boyfriend after you left. She likes you. Come by my house at 8PM. Tell her how you feel again. She will be more open now that she does not have a boyfriend. I am not very fond of you Johnny but for the sake of my best friend, please fix things between you and Alli.
Before he could answer, I walked away from his table and came to sit with my friends.
In the back Johnny was shocked and I think he told his date that they were leaving and that he dumped her because she slapped him across the face and left angry without him.
I looked at Alli who was waiting a response.
-He loves you.
That's all I said. She looked at me with a sad and at the same time happy smile.
We ate and then we left to go to the old abandoned church. When we got there Eli and I went to our hammock to lie down and Fiona and Adam listened to some music that was on the radio. Since Alli dumped Drew, she did not go and pick flowers in the wild grass that was growing around the old church.
After a while of not knowing what to do, Alli suggested we go home but Fiona knew just what to do. She went to Eli's hearse and got her purse. She then handed Alli a Victoria Secret magazine and three other clothing catalogues.
-I know how much you love these stores. We could go shopping later and buy them. Or we could go to my personal dresser who can make us a one off a kind dress! Fiona suggested
After a while I started to dose off. And eventually fell asleep in Eli's arms on the hammock.
-Clare, wake up! We want to play truth or dare! Alli said while shaking me and the hammock.
-Fine! I said while getting into a seating position on the hammock.
Eli also woke up and sat on the hammock.
-Who wants to go first?
-I will. Says Adam
-Truth or Dare? Fiona asked
-Truth
-Do you like me?
-No, I love you.
Adam then kissed Fiona on the lips and they started a little make out session. I then
threw a rock that was on the ground at Adam.
-What was that for? You and Eli are always sucking faces! Adam defended himself.
-Yes but we are presently trying to play a game. Adam, it's your turn. I told him
-Okay, Alli, truth or dare?
-Dare
-Brave. Okay, give Clare an Eskimo kiss.
She glared at Adam and cam up to me and Eskimo kissed me.
-Gross. We both said at the same time
Then it was Alli's turn and she chose Fiona who also chose Dare. She had to do 10 sit-ups. We all thought that Fiona being Fiona would have trouble with it but in fact she did it very fast without breaking a sweat.
-I have a trainer.
We all laughed and continued playing. Fiona asked me truth or dare and I picked truth.
She asked me who my best friend was and I told her that Alli and Fiona were my best friends.
-What about me? What am I? I feel so hurt Clare! Adam said
-Sorry! I apologized
Then it was my turn I looked at Adam and asked him truth or dare. He told me dare. Since I thought he was going to say truth I had no ideas for a dare so I picked an easy one. Hold your breath for 60 seconds.
-Easy! Come on Clare! Adam said.
After Adam had held his breath for a minute he asked Eli which one he wanted and he told him Dare. Then the dare was that for the rest of the day, every time someone asks him to do something, he must ask "Do you want fries with that?" Eli scoffed and told him that it was lame.
Eli then dared Fiona to go to school tomorrow and tell a teacher that she likes her style then pretend to shoot them with your fingers. Fiona blushed so hard at what she was going to have to do. But then she was not very smart to pick dare when Eli was giving it. He once made Adam draw on his stomach a face and he had to run around the school shirtless all day. Adam got detention that day. The worse part was that it was permanent marker so Adam had trouble taking it off.
After playing truth or dare for an hour, we got in the hearse and drove to the mall to get the clothes that Alli had picked out from the magazines.
After three hours of shopping we had bought in total 15 shirts, 18 pair of pants, 4 sets of PJ's, 3 hats, 1 coat, 8 dresses, 6 bikinis, 20 pair of Victoria secret underwear and bras. The guys did not buy anything for themselves but they carried our bags for us. And since Drew was not there to hold Alli's stuff, poor Adam and Eli had even more bags to carry then usually.
When we got back to my place we got dressed-up in are new clothes so that the boys could see us. When it came to the underwear and bras we kept that for later.
After spending an hour getting dressed, we chose one outfit and decided to cook supper. I was planning on making a big supper and then dessert but then I remembered that I had invited Johnny to come at 8PM and it was presently 7PM. So then I would not have enough time to make a big supper. I was kind of disappointed. And I could not tell Alli that Johnny was coming so I have to make up an excuse of why I am not making a big supper.
-I will make bacon grilled cheese. I feel like having Grilled cheese. I said
I looked at Eli and Adam and gave them a look that said to go along with it. When Fiona was about to protest Adam kissed her and gave her the same look that I gave him. Alli thought was not having grilled cheese. So she made herself a salad.
At 8PM, the doorbell rung. I could not help it, I looked at Alli and smiled she stood up puzzled and went to get the door. While passing by me she saw my smile. Oh man! I hope she does not know.
When she opened the door she closed it right away. Then the doorbell rang again and again. Alli looked at me and shot me daggers.
-YOU! What did you do? She asked
-Talk to him Alli! He loves you remember?
She then went to the door and this time did not close it on him. When she opened the door completely, we saw that Johnny had on a tux and had roses in his hands. He then asked her a question she had wanted to hear for a long time.
-Alli Bandhari, will you go on a date with me so then I could call you my girlfriend? Johnny asked
She jumped up and kissed him.
-Let's go! I am starving! All I had to eat was a small salad. She told him
Before she left she gave me and Fi a hug.
I looked at Eli and kissed him. I have no idea why, but I felt like it. But when I started to pull away he grabbed my face and deepened the kiss. Then when Eli was about to insert
his tongue in my mouth Adam grunted in disgust.
-I don't want to see your love in action! Keep it PG please!
-Well then what do you want to do? I asked him
-Well since you do not own a lot of scary movies, and the ones you have are awful, we can't watch a movie. Adam said
-Why not? If we don't watch paranormal activity 2, they will make us watch Twilight. Eli said while making a voice when he said Twilight
-You're right bro, I will go look for the movie. Adam then went to the movie shelf and put the movie in the DVD. Eli sat on the loveseat and I sat on his lap. Fiona and Adam laid on the couch together.
The movie was very scary but every time it got scary or someone got possessed, I would hide my face in Eli's neck. Eli would kiss my head and rub my back.
When the movie finished and it was silent we heard the sound of lip smacking together.
Me and Eli turned are heads and saw that Fiona and Adam were sucking face. When I cleared my throat Adam and Fiona looked up at us and Fiona blushed of embarrassment.
-Maybe we should go to bed. I need to call Ali first. I need to see if she is staying over tonight or staying with Johnny.
As I was calling Alli, Adam and Eli were getting the pullout couch ready so that Fiona and Adam could sleep on it and Fiona was getting the blankets to make the bed.
-Hi! Alli said answering her phone
-Hey Alli! It's Clare. Are you planning on coming back to sleep with us or are you going to stay with Johnny?
-I think I am going to stay with Johnny in his dorm. I don't need clothes. Bye! See you some time soon! Then she hung up
I guess she is in a hurry. I am glad that she is reconnecting with Johnny and is happy even thought she just broke up with Drew 12 hours ago.
-I guess Ali is not going to be joining us! She is staying with Johnny. Come on Eli let's go to bed. I said while grabbing Eli and going upstairs.
I got dressed in my bathroom and then got in the bed with Eli.
Eli wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled closer to him.
-I love you
-I love you too Eli
Then I fell asleep in his arms.
