Dear Journal,

That kiss meant everything to me, no matter how many times we kissed after that one, it stood out among them all. Not because it was our first, real kiss. No, this kiss symbolized everything about us. It was what made our love real, what sealed our fate. It was a kiss beyond Bella and Edwards, beyond Romeo & Juliet, beyond the tragedy of Cleopatra and Mark Antony.

But so far all I've been focusing on was the gloom and horror of our relationship. But the next few chapters are dedicated to the most outstanding week of my life with Elijah. I don't want to ruin it, so I'll just start the story from here…

I was currently sitting in my room with the sun was just starting to set, glad of the strange quietness that fell on my household. What's stranger is the fact that I find the quiet odd; I was so used to the common yelling and screaming of my family, that I rarely enjoyed quiet evenings like this.

Even though it was summer, I was sitting diligently at my desk, typing the three page essay for my summer reading 'As You Like It' by Shakespeare - since I had already taken Juniors English, I had choice between taking Senior English of Shakespeare. And being a lover of the poet literature, I decided on Shakespeare.

A light tapping was made on my French doors to my balcony, but being so engrossed with the essay, I barely noticed. I did, however, notice when there was an obnoxious banging on the door.

"Ah!" I screamed like a little girl, turning swiftly in my chair to see Eli pressing his face to the glass like a little kid.

If I wasn't so scared, I would've laughed at how ridiculous he looked with his nose scrunched down between the window and his face.

"Elijah!" I growled, getting up from my chair angrily.

"I was trying to be romantic, you know, throwing rocks at your window. I would've played In Your Eye's, but I forgot my boom box back at home." Eli quipped through the glass, "But, of course, my lovely girlfriend was writing her Summer Reading essay two months in advance."

"Oh, shut up." I mumbled while unlocking the door to let him in.

"Well since you forgot the flowers, maybe you should carry my off to the sunset on a lawnmower." I giggle, if you hadn't guessed, Eli had a thing for 80's movies like Say Anything or Sixteen Candles.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, his slithered their way around my waist to pull me closer.

"Will Morty do?" He chuckled, nuzzling his nose against my cheek.

I giggled, "Sure."

"So, as to why I stopped by, would you like to go camping?" He asked, I raised an eyebrow and pulled away.

"What?" I asked, "Where?"

"Our spot, just you and me for a week." Eli smiled; I shook my head and looked down.

"I dunno, Eli. I highly doubt my parents would let me. I mean, first off I'd be spending a week alone with my boyfriend. And I hate to say this but they don't particularly like you." I laughed lightly, looking up at his bright green eyes.

"I blame you," He remarked. "I swear, never tease me at the dinner table. I will always get you back." Eli laughed, pulling me closer.

"Whatever." I smirked, and then a giant grin pulled my lips up. "I have a brilliant idea! Let's invite Adam and Fiona. Maybe a few other friends. Your mom could come too. I think that'd be great. There's plenty of room."

A frown instantly formed on his face, and I felt my own sink as well. "Clare, I wanted this to be us time. I mean, the last few weeks it was either under your parent's supervision, or my mom's, or with friends. You even started hanging out with Alli again, and that's diminished our 'us' time."

Eli was whining, and I never heard anything cuter

. I giggled as he nuzzled my neck, placing a few kisses here and there. "What if we just invite a few friends; Adam, Fiona, Alli, and Drew? We can have our alone time hiking, or…at night in our own tent."

I couldn't stop giggling as he continued to assault my neck with light kisses. "Fine, but how about today we spend it with just the two of us? I noticed your parents aren't home." Eli commented, while switching to placing harder kisses on the exposed flesh.

"They're…at work. Mom won't be home until nine, dad until 11…" I trailed off with a whimper as his teeth grazed the skin.

"Perfect." He breathed, sinking his teeth in my neck.

Everything was haze after that, we somehow managed to get ourselves onto the bed and Eli was furiously ravaging my neck with his bared teeth and smooth tongue. I never felt so…hot. It was all I could describe it as. A heated tension started winding in my abdomen, tightening and loosening aggravatingly. The heat licked its ways through my veins, making my skin burn and cool like a heat flash. But each change felt like I was being electrocuted, my senses haywire.

I moaned breathily when Eli shifted and his hand grazed my breath. "Oh, Eli." I whimpered, panting and moaning, a writhing mess beneath him.

We haven't even kissed yet. Eli dragged his lips up my neck, across my cheeks, and stayed barely touching my own raw lips. I kept biting and gnawing at the flesh, trying to control the heat from exploding. I never felt so hot and bothered, so vulnerable and needy. Desperately, I linked my hands behind his neck and pulled him down to finally kiss me. And just like that day, so far off now as we lay so intimately together, the pleasure zipped through my body like 600 volt zap from my lips to my toes.

His tongue pushed pass my swollen lips, tilting his head to have the talented pink muscle tangle with my own. I let out moan slip from my mouth to be swallowed in his own. Our lips vibrated and I felt my body shiver in delight. I pulled away from his mouth when his hand teasingly brushed against the exposed skin of my stomach. I noticed my light sea foam green tank top had ridden up from Eli constantly shifting his chest against mine.

My eyes travelled up to lock with Eli's, and I gulped. "We don't have to do anything; this is completely up to you." Eli said, starting to pull his hand away.

"No, I-"

"Clare! I'm home!" My mother's voice called, and I pushed Eli away in fear. But, of course, he fell and made a loud thud. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I dropped some books!" I called, hastily rearranging my clothes. "Eli, you have to go!"

I turned my head to see him already climbing down the tree. I smiled when he blew me a kiss before disappearing. The sound of footsteps were being made up the stairs, so I cleverly grabbed a few books and made it look like I was picking them up when my mom opened the door.

"What on earth were you doing with all those books?" My mother asked, eyeing them.

"Well, I wanted to reorganize them, and I piled them on my bed but they all fell when I bumped into them." I sighed, trying to seem aggravated, which I sort of was.

"Alright." She said, turning to leave.

"Wait!" I called, and she turned back to look at me. "Fiona is going camping, right in the park's camping grounds, and I was wondering if I could go. It'd be Fiona, Alli, and me."

"I don't know. Her parents?" She questioned, raising a brow.

"They'll be in a separate part of the camp ground, but they'll check up with us. I'd be for a week, but it's like a three mile walk from town if we need anything."

"I'll check with your father, but it seems alright with me." My mom smiled and went to leave, shutting the door behind her. I was about to do my completely idiotic happy dance before she peeked back in. "And no boys!"

"Yes, mom." I giggled before putting my 'fallen' books away.

I jumped onto my bed and reached for my phone, sending a text to Eli that the camping was on. But I, also, told him that Fiona and Alli had to come.

Fine, but Drew and Adam have to come. No way will I spend a week with three girls. :P -Eli

Gee, thanks. Well I guess this girl will make it a point to not bother you. ;P -Clare bear

NO! -Eli

I giggled before telling him I was going to bed, since it was already nine o'clock. I got up from my bed, went to my dresser and started to change into a pair of boxer shorts and one of Eli's Dead Hand shirt's I pilfered. My phone buzzed when I got myself tucked in, and I grabbed it to see a cute text from Eli.

Sweet Dreams, Blue Eyes, I know mine will be. With you running through my mind, I can't think of anything sweeter. -Eli

I rolled my eyes, texted him goodnight, then turned off my phone and went to sleep.

I never had nightmares up until what happened, and that night, though I don't remember much of the dream, I knew it was about green eyes and a smirk.
