Situations Chapter 17
Thank you so much for the reviews! I got more than I asked for and that makes me happy! I loved the reviews and your guys' reactions! I hope this chapter isn't a disappointment to any of you.
HEADS UP!: the next few chapters will be mainly Eclare. Some parts will be fluff, others will be hot! But yeah, they will be mostly just them. Then after, there will be drama involved. I just want to have their relationship grow before drama comes. So, yeahh.. I'll explain more next chapter.
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?

Clare's POV
It's been a week since Eli and I split up. Things have NOT been good. I miss him like crazy. I miss our little meetings, his flirty texts, his kisses, his touch. I just want to be in his arms again. I want to feel his lips against mine. I want to feel his hands burn my skin as he ran them over my body.
Our relationship only lasted for four days, but in those four days I have seen a different Eli. Yes when we were just casual, he was nice, but when we were dating he was caring, sweet, gentle… any other cliché word. He was amazing.
I shook my head and tried to listen to the lesson being taught. It was the last class of the day before the weekend, might as well try to learn.
Okay, so I couldn't concentrate, I mean class was so boring! No one needs to know this stuff, anyways.
The bell rang and I got up, walking out of the classroom, meeting up with Adam on the way.
"Hey, how are you?" he asked. Adam knows what happened between Eli and I. Eli and I both told him our sides of the story, so he understands more than we do. It's a little confusing, but at least he's there for me.
"Better, I guess." I answered.
He nodded, "Why don't you come over? We could watch movies and pig out." He said, smiling and nudging my side with his elbow.
I giggled and nodded, "Sure, I'll be there in an hour or so."
He nodded and walked off. I sighed and tried putting my books in my bag while walking. I was almost done getting it in my bag when I bumped into a hard chest, causing my books to fly everywhere.
"Shit," I muttered to myself, as I knelt down to get my books.
I noticed someone kneel down and help me pick up my books before handing them to me. I looked at the hand and knew exactly who it was. No other guy has that black stoned ring on their thumb or colors their nails with black sharpie.
I looked up and locked eyes with Eli. He raised an eyebrow, waiting for me to grab my book from his hand. I took my book from his hand and stood up, as he mirrored me. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as our eyes stayed locked.
"Hey," I said, smiling softly.
I haven't seen him very much this past week. In English class we were partners, along with Adam, and we acted civil. Well, we mostly dodged any conversation that didn't have to do with English. I would see him in the hallways, but he would always avoid eye contact. I knew I hurt him, but I didn't know it was this bad. He would barely look at me anymore.
"Hey," he replied.
"Thanks for uh, helping me pick up my books." I said, not knowing what else to say.
Seriously? Thanks for helping me pick up my books? You haven't spoken to him in a week and that's the best you could come up with? Idiot!
He let out a short chuckle at my stubbornness. "No problem, but next time you should watch where you're walking. Who knows, I could have been a wall, or the stairs." He joked, a smirk forming o his lips. I smiled; he was still his normal witty self.
I laughed, "Yeah, that wouldn't have been a pretty sight."
We stood there for a few seconds just staring at each other. I really missed this.
"Yo, Eli!" I heard someone yell from behind me.
Eli looked behind me and nodded his head before looking back over at me.
"Uh, it was nice talking to you." He said, and I could hear the nervousness in his voice.
"You too." I said, wishing it wasn't over yet.
He pressed is lips to a line and walked passed me, meeting up with his buddies.
I took a deep breath and made my way out of the school and to my dorm so I could get ready to go to Adams.
Eli's POV
That would be the first real conversation I've had with Clare in a week. To be honest, I hated Owen for ruining it. I missed her, and he just had to ruin the one moment we've had in a week. She smiled! I got her to smile, and then he fucking interrupts us.
"What was that about?" KC asked as I walked over to them, his arm was wrapped around Jenna.
"Nothing, I just bumped into her." I half lied.
"It looked like you were talking to her." Owen said. "What happened to the 'Watch it freak' thing you use to do?"
I shrugged, "I'm done with that. I don't really get anything out of it."
"Dude, are you crazy?" KC asked.
Apparently I was because everyone stared at me like I was insane.
"You use to live to see her get worked up when you called her names." Bianca said, having a point.
"Yeah, not anymore. It's pointless." I responded.
I was done with trying to keep up the bullying Clare thing. We are over, so there's nothing to hide. And the more I don't upset her, the better.
"Dude, are you feeling okay?" Drew asked as he came up to me and placed his hand on my forehead.
I smacked it away and looked at him oddly. "Yes I'm okay. God, what is the matter with you people? Just because I'm not bullying her anymore doesn't mean I'm not feeling okay, it just means I've matured. You should try it some time." I sneered at Drew.
I breathed out, feeling my heart sped up. I felt angered for some reason but took breaths to try and calm myself. They all looked at me with shocked expressions, probably wondering where that came from.
Come to think of it, where did that come from?
"Sorry, I'm just a bit stressed." I said.
"Nah, it's cool. We all have one of those days. Besides, it's a good thing you're not picking on her anymore." Zane said, earning a few odd looks from Owen, Bianca, Jenna, KC and Drew. "It's not like she's done anything to him." Zane said, defending himself.
"Whatever, we going or what?" Bianca asked.
We all nodded and headed out the door.
2 hours later.
Clare's POV
"What movies do you want to watch?" Adam asked.
"Movies?" I asked, pinning my eyebrows together.
"Well, yeah; were not just watching one. We're going to watch a ton of movies while we eat a ton of junk food." He smirked.
I smiled and jumped up from his bed, running over to his mini fridge. I scanned it and smiled widely when I saw the Whip Cream can. I grabbed it and closed the fridge door, turning around to face Adam.
"Whip Cream?" Adam asked.
"Yes, Whip Cream is like the best thing ever. You can eat it with anything." I paused. "Well, almost anything."
"And, you can do this." Adam grabbed the can from my hands and brought it to his lips, squirting some in his mouth.
"Exactly!" I smiled, taking it and squirting some in my mouth.
I smiled, loving the taste of Whip Cream. Adam opened his mouth and I giggled as I squirted some in his mouth. I smirked as I got an idea; I sprayed some more in his mouth before moving my hand and spraying some on his face.
He gasped and jumped back, glaring at me.
"You're going to pay for that." He said, glaring at me.
I only stuck my tongue out at him.
He went over to the fridge and grabbed two more cans of Whip Cream. My eyes widened. How the fuck did I not see those? Wait, why does he have three cans of Whip Cream in his fridge?
"Why the hell do you have three cans of Whip Cream in your fridge?" I asked.
"In case my roommate was a total ass. I would use this when he would be sleeping." He said, chuckling.
I then remembered that Tyler was Adam's roommate. Well, he was his roommate, until Tyler was moved somewhere else. Tyler didn't like living with Adam and Adam didn't like living with him. It was a win-win situation. Now Adam doesn't have a roommate.
I was taken out of my thoughts when I felt something cold being sprayed on my face. I gasped as I realized Adam has squirted Whip Cream on my face. I glared at him and sprayed some at him, not caring where it landed as long as I got him.
We ran around his room, hiding behind objects and spraying each other the first chance we got. I was soon covered in Whip Cream, as was Adam, but not completely.
I was currently hiding behind his nightstand as he was on the other side of the room, near the door.
"Surrender!" I heard Adam say.
"Never!" I said as I jumped out from behind the nightstand.
Just as I sprayed the Whip Cream over towards Adam, the door opened and Eli walked in, immediately getting covered with Whip Cream. My eyes bulged as my hand covered my mouth, trying to hold in my laughter.
Eli was looking at his clothes, which were now covered in Whip Cream.
"I really gotta start knocking when I enter your room." Eli said to Adam who was laughing.
"I'm so sorry, Eli." I said, giggling.
"Dude, you can get her back." Adam said to Eli, holding one of the cans out to Eli.
Eli glanced at me and smirked, grabbing the can and aiming it towards me.
"You brought this upon yourself." He said, smirking as he sprayed me.
I squealed and jumped behind the nightstand again.
At this point, I totally forgot that Eli and I weren't on speaking terms.
I poked my arm out and sprayed wherever I thought they were, hoping I hit them. We all stopped spraying each other for a few seconds. I poked my head out as did Adam and Eli. I laughed to myself, noticing Adam was holding a plate, trying to cover himself as Eli was behind a chair, Whip Cream covering most of him.
"Guys, this isn't fair, there's two against one!" I whined.
"I think it's completely fair, what about you, Eli?" Adam asked, glancing over at Eli.
"Yes Adam, I believe it is absolutely fair." Eli said.
They both stood up and charged at me, spraying me. I squealed and did my best to cover myself, but failing terribly.
They stopped and laughed at me, as I glared at them. I glanced down and noticed I was completely covered in Whip Cream. I pouted as I looked back up at them.
"You guys are asshole's, you know that?" I said, glaring at them.
I wiped some of the Whip Cream off of my face as they laughed at me.
"Okay, I'm sorry." Adam said, still laughing afterwards.
"I'm not." Eli said, spraying some Whip Cream on his hand and slamming it on top of my head.
I gasped and glared at him, as they both started laughing hysterically. Adam was bent over, hands on his knees, as he laughed uncontrollably. Eli had his arm on Adam's back as his hand was slapping against his knee, also laughing hysterically.
"You're dead to me, Goldsworthy." I said, shaking my can, getting ready to spray him.
"Gotta catch me to spray me." He said before running off into the bathroom.
I ran after him and slid inside the bathroom before he could shut the door. Once I got inside I immediately started spraying him as he started spraying me. I turned my head, trying to keep the Whip Cream from getting in my eyes. I kept spraying him, hoping I was getting him. I glanced over at him and noticed he stopped spraying me as I kept spraying him.
I looked at him fully and kept spraying him, bringing my other hand to the can. I laughed as he chuckled, trying to stop the Whip Cream from hitting his face with his hand.
"Okay, you got me. Can you stop now?" he asked, chuckling.
I laughed and stopped spraying him. I sighed and took a deep breath. Having a Whip Cream fight takes a lot out of you.
"So, how exactly did this Whip Cream fight start?" Eli asked, taking some Whip Cream from his shirt and eating it.
I laughed, "We planned on watching a movie while eating junk food, and I decided to get Whip Cream. I sprayed Adam and he sprayed me and… you know the rest." I laughed.
He nodded, "Well, I kind of wish I was wearing different clothes." He chuckled, looking at his outfit that had Whip Cream all over it.
I noticed his face was almost completely covered also, except for this one spot near his mouth.
"Looks like I missed a spot." I said.
He pinned his eyebrows together. "What are you talking abo-"
Before he could finish, I brought the can up and sprayed Whip Cream over his mouth. I giggled and he glared at me playfully. He chuckled and removed my hand, holding my wrist so I wouldn't spray him again. We both laughed, looking at each other and how we were covered in Whip Cream.
We suddenly stopped our laughing when we gazed into each other's eyes. Oh how I missed gazing into his eyes. His free hand lifted up and his thumb caressed my cheek as he stared at me, analyzing me. My index finger on my free hand traced his bottom lip as I gazed into his eyes, wondering what he's thinking.
Does he want me as much as I want him? Does he still like me? Will we ever get to have a real relationship?
I couldn't take it anymore; I leaned forward and crashed my lips to his, feeling relief as he immediately kissed me back. He released my wrist and my arms immediately wrapped around his neck as his wrapped around my waist; his hand pushing on my lower back, bringing me closer. His tongue swept across my bottom lip and I immediately opened, missing his sweet taste. Our tongues danced and I pulling him closer by my arms, crushing our lips harder together.
Eli began walking before he pushed me up and onto the counter top; both of us chuckling as I knocked some items down. We took a breath and quickly attacked each other's mouths again. My legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer to me. Even though you couldn't slip a piece of paper between us, I still didn't feel like we were close enough.
We pulled away to breath, panting as our foreheads were pressed together.
"That's not the action of someone who doesn't want to be with me." He murmured.
"Maybe that's because I'm not someone who doesn't want to be with you." I replied, "I'm someone who does want to be with you."
He gave a small smirk.
"The question is," I paused, looking into his eyes. "Do you still want to be with me?"
"I'm standing here, in a bathroom, covered in Whip Cream, waiting for you to stop talking… so I could kiss my girlfriend."
I smiled wide and crashed my lips to his, causing him to fall back slightly. He chuckled as he regained his balance and kissed me back.
"Are you guys okay in there? You've been in there a while, and since I'm not hearing screaming, I'm kind of worried." Adam said, from behind the door.
We pulled apart and I giggled as my head fell to Eli's shoulder.
"Yes, we're okay." Eli yelled back to him.
"We're more than okay." I whispered, loud enough for Eli to hear.
He pressed his lips to my forehead, placing a lingering kiss there.
"Hate to ruin this, but you do realize we're right back to where we started." He murmured.
"I know," I sighed. "But, this time, we can make it work." I smiled at him and he nodded.
Life sucks. It really does. But at the same time, it's amazing. Is that even possible?
Yeah, crappy ending. But I love this chapter. I loved writing it, and I hope you loved reading it! :)
I want to reach over 200 reviews! I will do a happy dance if I get over 210! :)
