Hey everyone! Sorry for like no updates lately, I have been really busy, but I'm trying to get better about it! I love you guys for being so amazing in the mean time. But if you guys ever want to talk, I'm on my tumblr, degrassibear or true-clare. Check it out! Anyways, on with the story!

Eli's POV:

The wedding was only three months away and Clare and I couldn't be more excited. She was constantly buzzing about details with Riley, so I did not see her as much as I wanted to, but she was happy, so I was happy. Clare was really going to get her dream wedding, I must have done something right to be the guy that gets to marry her.

I decided to take Clare out for dinner, because she deserves it. So we were getting ready when Clare came out of the bedroom looking absolutely breath taking. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a deep green long sleve with a white knit sweater.

I walked over to her and gave her a deep kiss, careful not to smudge her make up. She smiled up at me and her blue eyes just glowed. I smiled back at her gorgeous innocence, "You look beautiful."

She blushes, "Thank you. I'm glad we get a night, just the two of us." She squeezes my hand.

I couldn't help but let my smile grow wider. No matter how old we get, Clare was still Clare. Innocent, beautiful, precious, she was perfect, and I could only love her more.

The drive to the resteraunt was comfortable. Clare clung to me and I smiled look a child. What can I say, I'm damn happy!

Once we arrived, I opened Clare's door for her and helped her out of my car. Once she was on the curb, she smiled, "Thank you Elijah."

I roll my eyes, "No problem beautiful"

I got us reservations at La Bella, aka the most expensive resteruant in Toronto.

The waiter leads us to the booth and I slide into the booth next to Clare and she blushes. I wanted to be close to her, sue me.

"Can I start you guys off with some drinks?" The waiter asks.

"Can I have a water?" Clare asks.

He nods and then looks at me, "I'll have a water and a coke for me and one for my fiancée please."

The waiter walks away and Clare rests her head on my shoulder. I smile as she speaks, "Thank you."

"I told you, tonight is going to be special. It's been too long since we have had time together." I say.

We parooze the meus and settle on us each getting a pasta dish and sharing amongst ourselves. The wait for the food was not too long, and in the mean time, we just talked and cought up about our jobs and her progress with Riley.

Apperently her dress has been completely altered and according to Riley and Zane she just looks fabulous and I can't complain about that. I can't wait to see her dress, she has been too good about keeping it a secret.

When the food comes, Clare smiles, "Mm smells delicious."

I chuckle and whisper, "You look delicious."

She blushes and steals a meatball from my plate, "Don't be a perv."

I smirk, "You love it."

She rolls her eyes as I spoon feed her another meatball. She was too cute when she ate. Her cheeks would fill up as her cinnamon curls bounced up and down while her angel lips moved together.

I think Clare is turning me into a creep. But I just can't help it. She was wonderful.

We finished up our meal and I happily paid the bill, refusing to show it to Clare. I drove us home and we slowly walked up to our apartment.

I just felt like being with Clare tonight. We got inside and changed in to more comfortable clothing. Clare and I curled up in bed. I pulled Clare tight to my side and kissed her head, her cheeks, her nose, her ears, her eyelids, and her mouth.

When I was done, Clare was back to being as red as a tomato, "Why are you being so mushy tonight?" She asks.

I shrug, "I miss you, just time with you and me. I miss showing you how much I love you."

"Tonight was wonderful. Just like old times." She smiles, but then yawns.

I kiss her one last time before shifting us to lay against the pillows, "Goodnight love."

"I love you Eli, good night."
