Situations Chapter 22
So sorry for the wait. I had trouble writing this chapter, but I finally got it done. :) And, since you guys had to wait a while, I decided to give you a long chapter instead of splitting it into two equal parts. :)
Thank you to my Beta: OhMyMunro, for helping me with this.. I don't think I would have been able to do it without you. :)
Thank you for the lovely reviews. :)
iwantthistowork: I'm so sorry for what happened. I can't say I know how you feel, because I don't, but I can only imagine. And no, I didn't use this from past experience, I just thought of it from the top of my head. I figured it would be a good story idea involving Fitz and Julia and Eli. I'd rather do that then have her die. For some reason I think that Julia was a bitch. Lol. So that's what I'm making her out to be :P
strawberrry1798: Haha, thank you! That really means a lot. And I am continuing with this story, I just had a hard time writing this chapter cause I wanted it to be perfect. :) And I love how you want Julia and Fitz to disappear mysteriously.. FOREVER. Haha. That made me laugh :)
luvcb1: Haha, really? 3 times? Thank you! I'm so glad you like this story that much! I've read a few stories where I could read it over and over again but I never thought that someone would re-read my story :) It means a lot :)
LilithSky: Those are a lot of really good ideas! Haha. I already have a plot in mind involving Julia, so we'll see what happens. I have one of your ideas in mind already, :) haha. Thanks for reviewing and giving me ideas! :)
WARNING: uhhh… Hardcore sex. And I didn't intend on how it turned out… it kind of just happened. LOL P.s. Remember that Clare is NOT a virgin in this story.
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 :)
Clare's POV
I lifted my arms and wrapped them around Eli's neck, pulling him closer to me as we kissed passionately. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling our bodies closer. His tongue swept across my bottom lip and I happily opened my mouth, letting his tongue slide in.
I began to blindly walk backwards over to the bed, pulling Eli with me. Once the back of my knees hit the bed, Eli reached down and picked me up by my thighs, wrapping my legs around his waist. He placed his knee on the bed, followed by the other and crawled up to the top of the bed, placing me down on my back.
We pulled away, gasping for air as we stared into each other's eyes. Our breathing was uneven and Eli's electric green eyes were now holding a hint of lust.
"You're parents won't be home tonight, right?" I asked breathlessly.
"No, they said they're staying at Sophie's for the night." He replied.
"Good." I muttered before crashing my lips to his.
We kissed furiously as my fingers worked on the tie Eli was wearing. I tried to untie it as fast as I could, my fumbling fingers taking longer than I could stand. Once it was undone I impatiently pulled it off of him, throwing it to the floor. I then began to work on the buttons on his shirt.
Eli pulled away and looked at me as he panted. The intense stared he was giving me was making me nervous, causing me to bit my bottom lip. He pinned his eyebrows together, trying to read my mind. I looked around nervously, avoiding his eyes, hoping he would get the picture without me having to explain.
When I finally glanced back at Eli, he raised his eyebrows, finally understanding what I wanted.
"You want to…" he trailed off, probably too shocked to even finish the sentence.
"Well, I-I mean, only if you want to." I stuttered, looking in his eyes.
"Yes," He said quickly, making me raise an eyebrow. He cleared his throat, "Uh, I mean, we- we could… I mean, I wouldn't mind if we-" he stuttered nervously.
"Would you just shut up and kiss me?"
"Good idea." He muttered, crashing his lips to mine.
Our tongues battled as I continued to unbutton his shirt. I finally reached the last button and we both tried to get it off of his body as fast as we could. We finally got it off and I threw it to the ground before wrapping my arms around his neck, running my fingers through his hair.
Eli's hands ran up and down my sides a few times before he stopped at the top of my dress. He pulled his mouth away from mine, wasting no time in kissing down to my neck. I breathed heavy as I closed my eyes, loving the feeling of his lips against my neck. He lifted his head and kissed me once before pulling away and staring into my eyes.
His hands moved and slid behind my back. I arched my back, making it easier for him to unzip my dress. He stared into my eyes as he slowly and torturously pulled down the zipper, searching my face for any sign of hesitation. My breathing hitched when the zipper was completely down and he began to slide my dress off of me slowly. I lifted my hips to help him remove the dress. Once it was completely off of me, he threw it to the ground, leaving me in my black lace bra and panties.
I blushed as I watched his eyes- clouded darkly with lust, looking at every inch of me. He leaned down and kissed my lips, my jaw and then my neck as his hands ran fluidly up and down my body. I knew he had touched me before, but it was different now, considering that we were dating. I still couldn't believe that I was dating Eli Goldsworthy, let alone about to have sex with him.
My breathing was uneven as my hands drifted down to his belt buckle, making him halt his movements. He pulled back to look at me as I fumbled with it, the sound of clanking metal sending a shiver down my spine. This was really happening. Watching his face intently as I got it undone, I touched the button of his pants tentatively.
"You okay?" He asked, tracing my face softly with his fingertips. I nodded my reply and continued to hold his gaze as I unbuttoned his pants.
I finally got the button undone, slowly pulling his pants down off of his hips. He kept our intense gaze as he kicked his pants off, leaving him clad in his boxers. My heartbeat sped up just hearing his pants hit the floor. Our eyes stayed locked as he moved his lower body between my legs. He leaned down and gently pressed his lips to mine, kissing me slowly and lovingly. Our tongues collided, forming a wet dance.
His hands slowly slid to my shoulders, sliding his fingertips over my bra straps. His arm slid behind me and he swiftly flipped us so he was beneath me. I pulled away, gasping at his action. He looked at me and a smile appeared on his lips, causing my own smile to form. I leaned down and pressed my lips to his, once again, kissing him more forcefully then before.
His hands moved up to my shoulders once again and he slid my bra straps down. I smiled against his lips as his hands slid to my back before he unclasped my bra. He flipped us back over so I was beneath him, our kiss breaking in the process.
"Would you make up your mind already? I'm getting dizzy." I was getting dizzy, but from a total different reason then I made it out to be.
He chuckled and nodded, leaning down to kiss my lips before moving to my jaw, then my neck. Slowly, he pulled my bra away from my body, and I couldn't look away from him, even as I flushed with embarrassment. His eyes moved from my face, down to my newly exposed breasts, before whispering, "God, you're beautiful." And then, after one more small kiss, he trailed his lips down my heaving chest, cradling one breast in his hand. Tentatively, he drew out his tongue, and I gasped as he slowly traced a wet line around my nipple, before taking me into his mouth.
"God, Eli," I choked, closing my eyes.
My hands shot to the back of his head, threading my fingers through his hair. He nipped, tucked, and sucked on my nipple, making me whimper and moan. He withdrew his mouth from my nipple, blowing on it. I moaned, the sensation driving me crazy. He switched over to my neglected breast, making sure to give it equal attention.
He kissed back up my chest, kissing my neck. I grabbed the back of his head, pulling him up and looking into his eyes. I couldn't help but love the sight in front of me. Eli Goldsworthy; hair tousled and eyes clouded with lust. I smiled at him and then crashed my lisp to his, kissing him fiercely.
I swiftly flipped us over, smirking as I pulled away. Eli raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing at his lips. I leaned down and kissed his jaw, then his neck and bit down lightly. I heard him let out a small moan, making me smirk against his smooth flesh. His hands found their way to my hips and he rubbed circles with his thumbs, the gesture making me melt.
I let out a shaky breath and continued my ministrations, kissing down his chest, my hand drifting down his stomach, feeling his muscles contract under my touch. This gave me a bit of confidence; this tiny bit of power I had over him, and I rolled my hips into his experimentally. A low moan escaped his full, slightly swollen lips, and so I did it again.
With a growl, he flipped us back over, his face centimeters from mine. "Are you trying to kill me?" He asked huskily. All I could do in response was bite my lip, watching his green eyes darken before he captured my lips in a slow, sensual kiss that made goose bumps rise all over my skin. His hands traveled down my sides, until they reached the waistband of my panties.
He pulled away and looked into my eyes, asking for permission. I gave a nod, my heart suddenly pounding very loudly; loud enough to make me wonder if he could hear it. My breathing hitched as he slowly pulled my panties down to my ankles. I kicked them off, letting them join the other unwanted clothing on the floor. As Eli positioned himself between my legs, I noticed just how nervous I really was. My legs were shaking as my heart was pounding and my breathing was ragged. I just hoped he didn't notice.
I felt Eli press his lips to mine, making me snap back into reality. He pulled away and rested his forehead against mine.
"You seem nervous. Did you want to stop?" he whispered, staring into my eyes.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but no, I want to do this." I replied.
I watched as Eli's eyes scanned my face, looking deep into my eyes, searching for any sign of hesitation. I smiled as I knew there was none. He nodded slowly before bringing his lips gently to mine, taking off his boxers. He positioned himself between my legs but then stopped.
"Fuck," he bowed his head. "I don't think I have a condom." He muttered.
I chewed on my bottom lip nervously. "I'm on birth control," I mumbled, making him look up at me.
"Did you plan this or something?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I honestly had no idea this was going to happen. I've just always been on birth control." I explained.
He smiled and placed his hands on either side of my head. He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine, giving me a gentle kiss. We both moaned in unison as he entered me, immediately starting to thrust at a controlled, deep rhythm. Our kiss broke as I let out a moan.
"Oh, Eli," I moaned breathlessly, clutching at his back.
He leaned down to kiss my neck, and I had never felt more complete then I did at that exact moment. It has been a while since I last had sex, and this just felt amazing, especially with Eli. He lifted his head and picked up his pace, his lips ghosting over mine.
"Clare," he gasped out as I lifted my hips to meet his thrusts.
His intense stare pierced right through me, and everything I was feeling was laid out on the table for him to see. I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him down, crushing my lips over his. I moaned against his lips as I met every single one of his delicious thrusts.
"Oh, God." I moaned, tearing my lips from his.
He grunted and picked up his pace, hitting that particular spot inside of me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and moaned loudly as he leaned down, pressing his lips to my neck. He moaned and breathed against my neck, his thrusts deep and steady. I lifted his head so he could look me in the eyes. I leaned up and brought his bottom lip between my teeth, tugging at it slightly. He closed his eyes and moaned, giving one hard thrust. I pulled away and my head tossed back as I cried out.
"Harder," I moaned.
He complied and his thrusts became deeper and harder. My back arched and I moaned as I felt a familiar feeling boil in the pit of my stomach. He groaned and thrust faster, losing control of his rhythm. I moaned; his tip was hitting that particular spot inside of me. My hands clawed at his back, surely leaving marks. He hissed and moaned; the feeling in my stomach tightening up with every thrust.
"Oh, Eli… I- oh-hah- ah!" I moaned, closing my eyes.
"Look at me," Eli ordered, moaning after.
I complied, opening my eyes and staring into his lust filled green orbs. He gave one particular thrust, causing me to arch my back, sending me over the edge with a sharp cry.
"Clare, I'm gonna-" Eli groaned loudly, giving one last thrust before collapsing on top of me.
We lay there, both of us panting. Eli lifted his head and looked me in the eyes, our breathing uneven. He kissed me sweetly before pulling out and rolling over, lying next to me. I whimpered from the loss of warmth. Eli pulled the covers over us and put his arm out for me. I moved so I was cuddled up to his moist body, my head lying on his shoulder as my arm wrapped around his waist.
His fingertips ran up and down my spine as I listened to our unsteady breathing. I moved my head so I was looking up at him admiring his gorgeous features. His eyes were closed, his long eyelashes barely brushing his cheeks as he breathed through gently parted lips. He must have felt my stare because he looked down at me and smiled. I smiled and leaned up, pressing my lips to his softly.
"Can't get enough of me, huh?" Eli asked smugly after we pulled apart, a smirk playing at his lips.
I scoffed, rolled my eyes and turned over so my back was facing him. I heard him shift and soon his arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me to his chest. I felt his breath on my neck, sending shivers through my body.
"Fine. But… I can't get enough of you." He whispered huskily.
I turned my head so I could look at him; he stared back at me intensely, making my heart skip a beat. He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine softly once again. I moved my body so I was on my back and I slid my arm around his neck, pulling him closer. Our kiss deepened as our tongues danced, his hand sliding over my stomach.
My hand slid down to his chest, tracing his abs with my fingers. His hand slid to my side, pulling me closer to him. I slid my hand down and ran my finger over him, hearing him moan against my lips. I wrapped my hand around him and gave a squeeze; he tore his mouth from mine and groaned in his throat. I smirked and pressed my lips to his neck, moving my fist slowly.
"C-clare, st-stop." Eli stuttered.
I yanked my hand away and frowned, wondering what I did. Did he not like it? "Sorry," I murmured, avoiding his gaze.
He placed his hand under my chin and made me look up at him before he crushed his lips over mine. He kissed me hungrily, our tongues battling against each other's. He tilted his head, trying to get a better lip lock with me as he wrapped his arm around my waist, fingers digging into my side.
He suddenly flipped us over so that I was on top of him, our faces centimeters apart. We breathed heavily as we stared into each other's eyes, suddenly overwhelmed with lust once again. I moved my legs so that I was straddling him, gasping at the skin on skin contact. He reached up and moved some hair out of my eyes, tucking it behind my ear.
I smiled and leaned down, kissing him once more before moving my lips to his neck. I grazed my teeth against his flesh, finding that particular spot that made him crazy before I bit down. He moaned as I sucked and lightly bit, surely leaving a hickey. I kissed the love bite before pulling back, kissing my way down his chest. I smirked as I felt his member brush against my thigh. Once I got to his hip bones, I bit down, hearing him groan as I sucked lightly.
"Clare," Eli gasped. "Come here."
I lifted my head and crawled back up his body, confused. "If you want me to stop, just say s-"
He cut me off by crushing his lips over mine, kissing me heatedly. My hands reached up and cupped his face, instantly pushing any insecurities aside as his arm wrapped around my waist. He pulled away and brushed his lips against mine as he whispered, "Ride me."
Just hearing him say that, voice low and grovel with lust made me moan. I bit my lip and sat up, straddling him. He placed his hands on my hips as we stared into each other's eyes. I lifted myself up and slowly lowered myself on him, our gaze staying locked as he filled me. His eyes rolled back and he moaned, squeezing my hips slightly. I began to move over him, rocking my hips back and forth, placing my hands on his rapidly rising and falling chest.
"Fuck, Clare," he groaned, thumbs digging into my hips, setting our pace.
I bit my lip to keep from crying out, awash in the pleasure that coursed through my body as I rocked into him. Slowly, his hands slid up my waist, leaving a burning trail behind as one cradled my breast, thumb brushing over my nipple. I whimpered at the sensation, placing my hand over his until he slowly began to knead.
Eli sat up, then, his other hand finding my lower back to press us as close together as possible. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my nails digging into his back as I moaned. Eli pressed his lips to my neck, placing wet, open mouth kisses. He thrust his hips up, causing me to scream his name. He groaned and his head fell onto my shoulder as he panted.
"Oh… Eli! Ah-hah." I moaned, my head falling back.
Eli growled and moaned my name, causing me to look down at him. He panted and stared into my lust filled orbs as I bounced on top of him. He reached between us and placed his thumb over my clit, rapidly rubbing circles. I felt that familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach as I tossed my head back, carelessly screaming out.
"Clare," Eli gasped. "I'm gonna cum."
I crushed my lips over his, moaning in the process.
"Just let go." I murmured against his lips.
He growled and suddenly flipped us, so I was on my back and he was hovering over me. He gripped my hips and pounded into me, hitting the certain spot deep inside me. I arched my back and my head tossed back as I cried out. My hands sprawled out and clutched anything I could grasp; the sheets, the pillows, anything. My legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer as I cried out.
"Oh, God… fuck… I'm almost there." I moaned, the feeling in my belly tightening with every thrust.
"Fuuuck." Eli groaned, giving one last thrust, sending me over the edge.
He collapsed on top of me for the second time tonight, but I didn't mind. He lifted his head and rested his moist forehead against mine, his eyes closed and lips parted as he panted. My chest heaved as I reached up and raked my fingers through his damp hair. He hummed and smiled softly as he opened his eyes. I smiled back and he pressed his lips to mine gently.
"You have no idea what you do to me." He murmured against my lips.
I kissed him softly once more before he pulled out of me and rolled over to lie next to me. He moved his arm so it was under the back of my neck as he lay on his side, wrapping his other arm around me. I pulled the covers up and turned so I was on my side, facing him as my hand reached up to move his hair out of his eyes. He smiled and kissed my forehead as I closed my eyes.
"Tired?" he asked.
I nodded and snuggled into his chest, loving the feeling of being in his arms. I felt warm and cared for; complete, in a way I hadn't before. He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.
"Yeah, I knew you couldn't keep up with this wild beast." He teased, causing me to playfully slap his chest.
"I was kidding, no need to get abusive." He defended, a smirk plastered on his lips.
I smiled and lifted my head, opening my eyes to look at him. I leaned up and pressed my lisp to his, giving him one last sweet kiss.
"Get the lights." I murmured against his lips.
He chuckled and clapped his hands, turning the lights off. I sighed and snuggled into his chest, our limbs intertwining. I laid my head against his chest as his rested on top of mine, listening to his steady heartbeat, my eyelids becoming heavy.
"Goodnight, Eli," I murmured.
I heard him sigh as he stroked my back with his fingertips, just before I slipped into sub consciousness.
"Goodnight, Clare."
Eli's POV
I woke up the next morning to someone shifting around next me. I realized my arms were wrapped around the person next to me, very tightly I might add. I blinked multiple times and opened my eyes, looking around my room. There was only a faint amount of light peeking through the black curtains, but that's just how I like it.
I turned my head to see Clare staring at me, her head resting on her hand as her elbow was propped up on the pillow. I smiled softly at her as I remembered last night; she smiled back. Even though her hair was a mess and she still looked a little tired, she still took my breath away. To put it bluntly, she was gorgeous.
"Hey pretty lady, how much you charge?" I asked, my voice hoarse.
She scoffed, "Seriously?"
I shrugged and rolled over, pushing her down so she was on her back. I wrapped my arm around her and cuddled closer to her, loving the fact she was in my bed. I would never tell her this, but she was the first girl I brought home. Yes, Julia has been here, but because my parents invited her over without my permission.
Clare giggled and ran her fingers through my hair. I sighed and turned my head so my nose was pressed against her neck. I placed butterfly kisses along her neck, hearing her sigh in approval. I kissed up her jaw and moved my body up so I could reach her lips. I pressed my lips to hers and she pulled back, tilting her head to the side.
"Morning breath." She pretended to gag.
I rolled my eyes and then started kissing all over her face. She giggled and kissed my cheek. I smiled at her before I rolled off of her, getting up to brush my teeth. I completely forgot that I was naked until Clare spoke up.
"Nice bum, where ya from?" she teased.
I turned my head and smirked at her. "Down the river, wanna give 'er?"
She burst into laughter, causing me to chuckle as I grabbed a pair of boxers and slipped them on. I made my way to the bathroom, telling Clare I'd be back in a few minutes. I got dressed in a simple Dead Hand t-shirt and a pair of black jeans, not really bothering to put a whole lot of effort in since I planned to spend the day in anyway.
I noticed, as I brushed my teeth, just how much lighter I felt...how much...happier. God, I was basically giddy here, and all because of her. She was making me feel things I hadn't felt in a long time.
I turned my head slightly when something caught my eye. I stopped brushing my teeth and raised my eyebrow as I noticed Clare standing in the doorway, dressed in one of my shirts, toothbrush in hand. She smiled and with her head held high, she walked up to me and turned so she could brush her teeth. I continued to brush my teeth as my eyes traveled up and down her half naked body.
I felt her place her finger under my chin and she lifted my head so I could look into her eyes.
"Eyes up here." She stated, smirking.
I rolled my eyes and finished brushing my teeth, washing my mouth out with water. I hopped on the counter, waiting for Clare to finish brushing her teeth. She looked at me oddly as she brushed her teeth, but I gave her a cheeky grin. She giggled and finished brushing her teeth, washing her mouth out with water also.
I hopped off the counter as she turned to face me. I smirked and crashed my lips to hers, her arms immediately wrapping around my neck. I picked her up by her thighs and wrapped her legs around my waist, making my way to the bed. Once my knees hit the bed, I let us fall, but reached my hand out to stop me from crushing Clare.
My tongue dove into her mouth and I groaned as I explored her mouth. Our tongues tangled as my lower body rested between her legs, as they were still wrapped around my waist. I pulled my lips from hers and kissed down her jaw, hearing her breathing hitch.
"You get horny very easily." She teased.
"And It's all your fault." I stated truthfully against her flesh.
She sighed as I nibbled and sucked on her flesh; her fingers running through my hair.
"You know, this isn't fair. I'm half naked and you're fully clothed." She stated.
I smirked and lifted my head, looking deep into her eyes.
"Well then let's change that, shall we?" I smirked.
She smiled and reached down and slid her hand up my shirt, my muscles twitching as her hands roamed up my chest. She finally removed my shirt and she leaned up, crushing her lips over mine as her arms wrapped around my neck. I laid her back down on the bed with my hovering over her. Our tongues battled as my hand slid down her sides, reaching for her exposed thighs. I ran my hands down her thighs and then slid them up my t-shirt that she was wearing.
She gasped and tore her lisp from mine, staring into my eyes as my hand moved towards her most sensitive area. She bit her lip as my hand inched closer at a very slow pace. She crushed her lips over mine once again and cupped my face in her hands, my hand rubbing her inner thigh. I was just about to move my hand to the place of her desire…
And then, the doorbell rang.
I furrowed my eyebrows together. "Who's that?" Clare asked against my lips.
"I don't know. I wasn't expecting anyone," I replied, kissing her again. I contemplated not answering, pulling Clare closer to me. But another ring and persistent, rapid knocking let me know whoever it was wasn't going away anytime soon. I let Clare go with a groan, and gave her an apologetic smile. "Just let me get it, and I'll send whoever it is away as soon as possible," I whispered, my fingers tracing her side. She shuddered lightly, pressing a kiss to my cheek with a giggle.
"Alright."
I sighed and went down the stairs and made my way to the door, agitation setting in. I mean, seriously? The short time I have alone with Clare, interrupted by what was probably a salesman, or-
"Hey, Eli." My mouth hung agape as I saw who was standing in my doorway.
"...Julia?"
She smiled broadly, teeth glinting in the sunlight. "In the flesh." Her long hair was windblown, and she ran a hand through it. I could only stare at her with surprise. "Been a while, huh?"
"I saw you yesterday," I replied, my voice level.
"I mean...since I've been here. Things haven't changed much. huh?" Julia stepped slightly closer, peering around me.
I shifted, blocking her view. "I wouldn't say that," I responded, my voice gaining a slight edge. "A lot has changed, actually." Julia nodded.
"I guess that's not exactly a surprise...I mean, it has been two years...things change..." she took another step closer, her deep brown eyes glinting. "And people change, too."
I held my breath, trying not to flinch away. "What are you doing here?"
She flashed me another smile. "Well we can't really talk until you invite me in, now can we?" She asked, placing her hand gently on my arm. I stared at it coldly, her long, spindly fingers and black painted nails making me want to jerk back.
"This isn't a good time," I replied lowly, shaking my head.
Julia's eyes narrowed. "Why, is SHE here? What, did she spend the night? Did you two fuck?" She let out a little laugh, stepping back. "Classic Eli."
My expression hardened as the cruel words escaped her mouth."Her name is Clare, and THAT isn't any of your business. Just go back to Fitz, alright? Leave me alone."
Julia frowned. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to...sorry," she finished through gritted teeth, and I peered at her suspiciously. "Look...I broke up with Fitz..."
"...okay?" I said, although this bit of information made me curious.
She nodded. "After the wedding...I realized how much of a jerk he was." She paused. "And seeing you...with her...and how happy you were without me - it hurt."
I raised my eyebrows, then pinned them together, opening my mouth and then snapping it shut as I processed this. I let out a short chuckle and stood up straighter. "Let me get this straight. You, the girl who cheated on me with my best friend, are saying that seeing me happy with someone else hurt you?" I scoffed. "I don't have time for this, Julia. Just go find Fitz and make up or something."
I waved her off and tried closing the door, but she pushed it open and walked towards me, making me walk backwards into the house. She closed the door behind her and stepped closer to me.
"Eli, listen to me, what I did was a mistake and I'm sorry." She pleaded, staring at me with sad eyes. I didn't fall for it though; I could read her like a book. She only wanted me now because I was happy with Clare. I knew her; she couldn't stand it if other people were happier than she was.
"That apology's a little late, don't you think?" I stated. "Like, two years late."
She sighed and stepped even closer to me, placing her cold hand on my arm, sliding it up and down. I felt my jaw clench as she touched me, wanting to so badly shove her out the door and go back to Clare. That actually sounds like a good idea…
"I made a mistake, Eli. And I was hoping you could forgive me." She whispered, leaning closer to me. "You see, I've been thinking a lot about us, and how we used to be. We were good together; both careless and wild. Both so alike in how we thought."
"Like you said, people change." I replied weakly, trying to lean away from her.
"I don't know, I think we could be those two people again, don't you?" She asked me, leaning closer, a small smile playing at her lips.
Before I could respond, she crushed her lips over mine. My eyes widened as her lips moved over my still ones forcefully, trying to get me to respond. I didn't. I just stood there, not knowing what to do as she desperately clutched at me, hands moving to either side of my face. Her lips were harsh and foreign; nothing like the soft, gentle ones I had grown accustomed to. Before I could gather enough sense to push Julia away, there was a loud slam on the wall and she tore her lips from mine as we both turned to look at what caused the noise.
There stood Clare, disheveled and shaken, looking as if she was on the verge of tears. I stared at her with shock and apology, at a loss of words as I looked to Julia. But she just stood there with a fucking smirk on her lips. She fucking planned this!
"Over her my ass." Clare said, voice surprisingly steady, before turning and running upstairs. I called her name and began to run after her, but Julia grabbed my arm and pulled me back, the look on her face tortured.
"Eli,-"
I cut her off by ripping my arm away from her grasp.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed at Julia, my anger getting the best of me.
Shock came over her face, hurt pooling in her eyes. I didn't care though, not anymore.
"Fuck you, Julia," I spat, before turning and running up the stairs. I heard the door slam and I figured she left, but I didn't turn around to check. My thoughts were focused on Clare.
I needed to fix this.
Man, Julia does not know when to quit, does she?
Again, I'm sorry for the delay on the update. No, I am not getting bored with this story, I just needed this chapter to be perfect. Me and OhMyMunro re-wrote this millions of times, trying to get the right wording. And as soon as it was finished I updated! So I pretty much just finished like 10 minutes ago :)
