AHHHHHH.. I can't believe how much you guys love this story. You guys are amazing and I love your reviews! Thank you! I literally had the goofiest grin on my face when I read your reviews, telling me that you guys like my writing style. To be honest I thought it wasn't that good, but I guess not. I am still trying my best to make it better though.
Thank you for the reviews.. oh, I already said that… oh well!
Anyways, I hope you like this chapter :)
Warning: … eh, there's not really a warning for this.
Summary: Eli and Clare are far from friends; they hate each other. But when hormones are added to that, could the anger and frustration towards each other become pleasure? Will it stay casual or will it lead to something more?
Inspiration- Situations by Escape the Fate :)
"The frustration; well it's a regular thing."
Clare's POV
I'll see you tonight
Eli's text was running through my head for the rest of the night; I couldn't get anything done. I tried to finish my assignment for English but every time I would sit in front of my laptop I would always be staring at the line disappear and reappear. It got to the point where my eyes went blurry.
I shook my head and closed my purple laptop, setting aside on my nightstand before lying down on my bed, looking up at the plain ceiling. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to block out any thoughts about Eli; but to my dismay, it was impossible. I mean, he told me he liked me! How am I supposed to be calm about that?
My eyes shot open when I heard the door open and close as Alli walked in, a goofy smile on her face. She let out a pathetic love sigh when she set her bag down and dropped on the bed. I raised my eyebrows and sat up.
"Who is he?" I asked, making her snap her head in my direction.
"W-who's who?" she asked, fiddling with her fingers as she bit her lip. Turns out I'm not the only one who does that when I'm nervous.
"Alli, I know a pathetic love sigh when I hear one." I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
She sighed and sat up. "Don't kill me, okay?" I pinned my eyebrows together, confused by her words, and waited for her to continue. She took a deep breath and said, "It's Dave."
My eyes went wide as she covered her mouth, probably wishing she could take it back.
"WHAT?" I yelled in shock. "Dave? As in the guy who was hopelessly in love with you for god knows how long, but you never gave him the time of day? That Dave?" I asked, not even noticing how confusing my sentence was.
"Uh… yes?" Alli said, probably confused by my words.
I started laughing, placing my hand on my stomach. "You're kidding right?" I asked between laughs. When she didn't say anything I stopped laughing and looked at her. "You're not kidding."
She shook her head and gave a shy smile. I sighed and sat on the bed.
"How long has this been going on?" I asked, a small smile appearing on my lips. I was glad that Alli had found someone. I mean, she did have this thing going on with Jake but it didn't work out. She never told me what happened between them but I didn't push it any further. And after her little crush on Drew, I was glad she moved on and found someone I knew would treat her right.
"Well…" she dragged on. "For about a month now."
My jaw dropped as she said this.
"Come again?" I choked out.
"I knew this is how you, or anybody else, would react so we decided to keep it a secret until we knew where it would go."
"Like a secret relationship?" I asked and she nodded. "So you guys have been sneaking around for a month now? But you and Jake just ended a few days ago." I said, confused.
"Yeah… about that… Jake and I were never really official. I used him to cover up Dave and he used me to make some chick jealous. It was our plan from the beginning." She shrugged.
I raised an eyebrow. "Wow," was the only word that could escape my lips.
I then remembered earlier today when Alli had told me she met this guy and he had a friend who was 'perfect' for me, according to Alli. Was this guy Dave? If so, his friend would either be Wesley or Conner. Oh God.
"Alli, who was this guy you were talking about earlier today? You know, the one with the friend."
"Oh, actually there was no guy, just the friend." She explained.
I pinned my eyebrows together, "What?"
"I just said there was a guy I met to throw you off track, but there really was someone I found for you, his name is-"
"I'm gonna stop you right there," I interrupted. "Alli, I appreciate what your trying to do but I really don't want a relationship right now." I lied. I want a relationship, just not with anyone other than Eli. Oh man, I got it bad.
"Are you sure?" she asked as my phone vibrated on my nightstand.
"Positive," I said as I went to retrieve my phone.
How about we switch it up for tonight?
I glanced at the number and knew it was from Eli. I raised an eyebrow at his text and wrote back.
Depends, what did you have in mind?
"Who are you texting?" I heard Alli asked, causing me to look up at her.
"No one," I lied.
Alli mumbled a "mhmm" telling me that she didn't believe me. I glanced around nervously.
My phone vibrated again and I glanced down at my phone, opening the text.
Instead of you coming here, I go over there. Drew is having Bianca over and there are some things you can never un-hear.
I giggled at this and started typing my response, telling him we might have to go somewhere else since Alli is here.
"No way!" Alli chirped, making me look up at her.
"What?" I asked.
"You already found someone! That's why you won't meet the guy I found." Alli said, a smile growing on her lips. "It all makes sense now. You always leaving in the middle of the night, how you randomly started becoming happier. You're getting laid!" She yelled, squealing and clapping her hands.
"Whoa, whoa… whoa!" I held up my hands in defense. "First of all, I am not getting laid, and second, I may have found someone," I blushed, "But how did you know?"
"Oh please! I can see it in your eyes when you were texting. It doesn't take a genius to see it."
"No one else noticed," I mumbled.
"That's because they are not you best friend." She teased. "Now, are you sure you're not getting laid?" she asked.
"Alli, I'm sure. We just… fool around."
"Ooohh, foreplay," she winked and I rolled my eyes. "Let me guess, he wants you to himself tonight?" she asked, gesturing to my phone.
"Uh… kind of."
"It's okay, I have plans with Dave anyways, so I'll see you tomorrow… maybe." She giggled. "Oh, who is this guy anyways?"
"Uh… I can't say. It's kind of like with you and Dave, but we're not in a relationship."
"So it's casual?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It was, but I think there's more to it. It's very confusing." I sighed.
"Whatever, just don't use my bed." She smirked, causing me to roll my eyes.
I took out my phone and texted Eli, telling him it was fine if he came over.
…
Later that night
…
Alli had left about a half hour ago, and now I was just waiting for Eli. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, just listening to my music on my I-Pod. I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings and I didn't notice Eli had walked in until he sat down on the bed. I jumped slightly and pulled the earphones out of my ears.
"Sorry… I knocked, but you didn't answer." he said.
"It's okay." I said, noticing he was different from earlier today. He didn't look different, or sound different, but the look in his eyes told me that something was off.
I sat up and placed my I-Pod on my nightstand, turning to face him. Before I could process anything, his lips were on mine as he began crawling on top of me as he laid me down on the bed. I was confused by this but kissed him back anyways; letting his lower half rest between my legs.
His tongue slid between my lips and into my mouth, begging mine to play with his. I complied and massaged his tongue with mine, letting them become tangled with each other. His hands slid down to my hips as he slipped his hand up my shirt, lifting it up, trying to take it off of me. I pulled away and looked at him confused.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Clare, please, I need this." He pleaded.
I didn't understand what he meant by this, but I was too confused to realize that he had already succeeded in taking off my shirt. He leaned back down, pressing his lips to mine again, kissing me hungrily. I was confused by this since he was so gentle earlier today.
I felt his hand slid up and cup my left breast, making me arch into his touch. He gave a squeeze and I moaned against his lips. I suddenly forgot about what he had said and only focused on what was happening.
I reached up and slid his jacket off of him, making him remove his hand from my breast, much to my dismay. Once his jacket was off, he leaned back, tearing his lips from mine, and took off his shirt, tossing it to the floor. He leaned forward and hovered above me as I ran my hands over his chest, grazing my nails over his nipples. I smirked as he shuddered in pleasure. He panted as he leaned down, grazing his lips over mine.
"I missed this." He whispered against my lips.
I stared into his now lust filled eyes as we both panted.
"Me too," I whispered back.
I leaned up and captured his lips with mine, wrapping my arms around his neck as I ran my fingers through his hair. He groaned in his throat when I pulled on his hair. I slid my tongue into his mouth, battling mine with his. He rolled his hips forward, rubbing his growing bulge against me, causing my lips to tear away from his as my head tilted back as I let out a moan.
Eli leaned down and began kissing my neck, occasionally switching between sucking, nibbling and biting. He rolled his hips to mine again; I whimpered and bit my lip, trying to keep my moans in. He bit down on my neck, my weak spot to be exact, and I couldn't hold in the moan.
Eli lifted his head and crashed his lips to mine as his hands traveled down my body. I kissed him back as I felt his hands move to the waistline of my pants. I became alarmed as he started to unbutton my jeans and pull down the zipper, a little too eagerly if you ask me.
He began to pull my pants off before discarding them completely and throwing them to the floor. I suddenly felt very uncomfortable when I noticed he was trying to take his pants off. The odd thing was that he was shaking.
I sat up and grabbed his hands, pulling them away from his pants and holding them in my hands. He looked up at me and I let a small gasp out as I noticed his eyes held sadness.
"What's going on?" I asked softly.
He stared at me for a few seconds before bowing his head.
"I'm sorry; I know you don't want to… I'm sorry." He sighed shakily.
"Eli, you said this wasn't casual anymore." I said, feeling hurt that he lied to me.
"I don't want it to be," he whispered looking up and into my eyes. "But it has to be."
He moved and rested his back against the wall, staring at nothing in particular. I grabbed my pants and put them on, along with my shirt before sitting beside him. He sighed and rested his head against the wall.
"What's bothering you?" I asked.
He sighed, "To be honest…" he paused and looked at me. "I'm scared."
I raised an eyebrow as I looked at him. "Of what?" I asked.
He sighed and turned his head, looking in front of us. I didn't even care that he was sitting on my bed, pants undone and his shirt somewhere on the floor. I only cared about what was bothering him.
"Drew brought up my ex-girlfriend today." I felt a slight pain in my chest as he said this.
"Who you still have feelings for." I said, my heart dropping with every word.
He chuckled, "Quite the opposite actually." I felt my heart rise again as he said this. "It's a long story." he sighed.
"I've got time." I said, causing him to look at me.
He took a deep breath and turned his head, staring at his hands in his lap.
"Her name was Julia. We met in high school, grade 10 to be exact. She was exactly like me; we had so much in common. We began dating and to be honest, I never thought that I could like someone as much as I liked her." I felt pain at his words but kept listening. "I thought I loved her; we even exchanged virginity's, well, so I thought."
He sighed, "One night, our two year anniversary to be exact," TWO YEARS! What!- Focus! "I went over to her house to pick her up for our date, and once I got to the door, I didn't even get the chance to knock before I-," he paused, gulped and then took a deep breath. "I found- er- heard her cheating on me." My eyes went wide as my lips parted, letting out a small gasp. She cheated on him? On their two year anniversary? You have got to be kidding me.
He chuckled, but it had no humor in it. "The worst part was that it was with my so called best friend, Fitz."
"I'm sorry, Eli." I whispered.
"Looks like we have a lot more in common then you thought." He said, turning his head to look me in the eyes.
I sighed and reached over, grabbing one of his shaking hands and held it in mine. I interlaced our fingers as he looked down at our hands. He squeezed my hand and looked up at me.
"That's why I'm like this. That's why I keep things casual with girls. I haven't been in a real relationship since that night." He sighed and looked at our hands. "But with you, it's hard to keep it casual. I was scared that history would repeat itself so I tried to keep it casual, that's why I came onto you like that."
"Eli, you know I've been cheated on before, twice. So why would you think I would do that to you?" I asked, trying to give him the idea that I would never hurt him like that.
"I don't know,' he sighed. "I guess I was just scared that I was starting to develop feelings for you." He whispered.
I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder, wishing things could be easier. Why did things have to be so complicated? Why did it matter who anybody was with?
I suddenly remembered that Alli and Dave are having a 'secret' relationship. Would that work for us? I mean, we have been sneaking around pretty well even when we were just casual.
I lifted my head so I was looking up at him as he turned his head to look into my eyes.
"Alli told me earlier today that she is having a 'secret' relationship with D-" I cleared my throat, catching myself before saying his name.
"D…" Eli dragged on, waiting for me to continue.
"I can't say, but that point is that they are having a relationship without anyone knowing."
"What are you getting at, Edwards?" he asked, eyeing me curiously.
"Well… I was thinking that… maybe…" I trailed off, feeling a blush appear on my cheeks.
"Are you asking me to be in a secret relationship with you?" he asked, smirking.
"Pfft, nooo," my voice went high at the end, signaling I was lying. "I mean, well, yeah, I kind of was. But if you're not ready I totally understa-"
I was silenced by his lips as he kissed me softly. He pulled away slowly and I fluttered my eyes open to see him smirking.
"You talk too much." He said, making me blush. "Well, let's start over." He said, making me confused. He turned his body so he was facing me as he grabbed my hands in his. "Would you like to be my dirty little secret and… my girlfriend?" he asked shyly.
I couldn't stop my lips from curling up into the goofiest grin ever. Once he saw my smile, there was a gleam in his eyes that said that this was the reaction he was hoping for.
I didn't trust my voice at this point so I nodded and leaned forward, wrapping my arms around his neck as I crashed my lips to his. He chuckled against my lips and kissed me back.
I pulled away once I heard someone fumbling with the door handle.
"Shit, Alli's back." I glanced around the room and stood up, bringing Eli with me. "Closet." I told him, pushing him towards my closet.
"Seriously?" he asked as I shoved him inside. I gave him a smile and shut the door, just as Alli walked inside.
"Sorry for coming back early, change of plans. Oh, looks like your already done." She said, glancing around the room before her eyes landed on something on the floor. "Looks like he forgot something." She smirked.
I looked down and noticed Eli's shirt sitting on the floor. My eyes widened and I quickly picked it up, hiding it behind my back.
"Yeah, I'll just give it to him later." I laughed nervously.
"Mhmm, well, I'm taking a shower." She said, walking over to our bathroom.
Once the door closed and I heard the water running, I sighed and turned around, opening the door to see Eli doing his pants up. I giggled and he smirked as he finished and looked up at me.
He walked out and I walked him to the door.
"Can I have my shirt?" he asked, holding out his hand.
"Oh, right." I handed him his shirt and watched as he put it on. "That was close."
"Yeah, but exciting. You know, I might like sneaking around." He smirked.
"We already snuck around before, what's so different now?" I asked.
"Well," he took a step forward. "I could call you my girlfriend… well, only when it's just us two… but it still counts." He pointed a finger.
I giggled and nodded. "It still counts."
He gave a small smile and I leaned up, placing my lips over his. He deepened the kiss by sliding his hand behind my head and crushing our lips harder together. My arms wrapped around his torso and I leaned into him as our lips moved in sync. His tongue slid across my bottom lip and I opened, letting his tongue enter my mouth. Our tongues danced as his free hand slid to my waist and pulled my closer to him.
I couldn't help but think that this kiss was much better than the one in his car. This time my body was crushed to his, our bodies so close that you wouldn't be able to slip a piece of paper between us, and I loved every minute of it.
We pulled apart, gasping for air as he rested his forehead against mine.
"I really wish Alli wasn't here." Eli breathed.
"Why? Do you plan on taking advantage of me?" I teased, smirking.
He chuckled, "No, but it would be nice to keep kissing you."
I smiled at him and leaned up, kissing him sweetly.
I heard the water to the shower shut off and I pulled away. Eli sighed and nodded, opening the door and glancing down the hallway. He turned to me and kissed me once more.
"I'll see you tomorrow." I whispered.
"Guess you will." He smirked.
He walked out the door and I closed it, leaning against it and letting out a pathetic love sigh. What is this boy doing to me?
"What are you doing?" Alli asked, breaking me from my thoughts as I looked over at her. She was in her PJ's already as she brushed her hair.
"Uh, nothing." I cleared my throat as I walked over to my dresser.
I quickly got changed in my PJ's and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Once I was done I climbed in bed as Alli turned off the light and climbed in her bed.
"So, how did it go?" I heard Alli ask. I could tell she had the biggest smile on her face.
"Good… really good." I said, a huge smile on my lips. Wow, I really like him. "What about you?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Things are good. Dave is really sweet; I don't know why I didn't notice that before. I mean…" Alli kept blabbing on and on about Dave but I zoned her out and tried to go to sleep without her noticing.
The last thing on my mind before I fell asleep was…
Was this little plan of ours going to work out?
Well, they are together… sort of. But this is where some drama comes in. I mean, it's not like it's going to be easy peezy, lemon squeezy… wow that was lame.
So I involved Julia, but she's not dead. There's a reason for that.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed it.
P.s. if you have any ideas on some drama that I could put in here, please PM me. I have some ideas but I don't think they are that good. So if you have any ideas, just PM me. K thanks!
