Oh my gosh ok so sorry. I know I said I would update sooner than this because its summer and stuff but I honestly just forgot... hahaha. It was Abbie's (haha hey) review that made me all like, ok you know what fine I'll just finish chapter three. And it's actually really weird writing in kisses for Eli and Clare because I'm only 13 so... yeah. Don't expect a ton of kissy kissy :p Ok so here is this chapter; it's kinda short (ok I know it's really short) but I don't know where to take this story... I might try to end it soon so I can start new stories so yeah. P.S. sorry for any grammatical errors/spelling mistakes. I hate finding those in other fanfics, but then when I find them in my own I'm ready to rip my hair out.

ADAM'S POV:

Here we go again. Eli and Clare have fallen in love with each other once more, if they even fell out of love the first time around. But by here we go again, I mean me being the third wheel. I can already envision the way the rest of the night will go. First, Clare and I will go talk to Eli. During the conversation, Eli will try to keep me involved, but his eyes will constantly wander to Clare's. Next, we will decide to go out to eat, and Eli will insist on paying for all of us, but he actually just wants to pay for him and Clare. I will convince him I can pay for myself, and he'll just accept it. But when Clare will try to pay for herself, he'll insist. Lastly, we'll head back to one of our houses, and spend the rest of the night talking, but Eli and Clare secretly want me to leave so they can have a serious discussion about their relationship. I would end up being a third wheel… and that's just the way I want it.

"I hope that you can find the time to buy my book. Thanks for listening; you guys were an awesome bunch. Considering this is my first book, I was really nervous for tonight." Eli finished. Time to get these two lovebirds together once again.

"Eli! Man it's great to see you! I was actually thinking of trying to find you again, and here you are! It's like fate wants us all together again, the misfits." I tell Eli and Clare.

"Adam's right! It's fantastic to see your well, and still writing. I loved your excerpt, Eli. It was truly inspiring to see how you've grown since we've spoken last. Do you guys want to go out to dinner? But, I think you two will need to decide where to go, I haven't been in town for a while." Clare says, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"You are completely right, Clare. We need to catch up." Eli told us. I. Must. Get. Out. Of. This.

"As fun as that sounds, I have a curfew to follow, because yes, I am still living with my mother." I lie… well kinda. I do have a curfew, but it isn't until midnight, and I'm sure my mom would let me stay out later if she heard I was just with Eli and Clare. Well maybe I wouldn't necessarily tell her about Eli, for she never really thought of him as a good influence. I needed to get out of their hair, but it's a small price to pay for us reuniting. "Are you sure Adam? It's only 9:30." Eli says, clearly not believing me.

"I'm sure man, my mom is totes cray cray." Ok, I don't know where those words came from, but at least it causes a giggle from Clare.

"Kay, see you later, Adam. My number is still the same, so hit me up sometime." Eli says to me as we part ways. Hopefully those two don't screw up again.

CLARE'S POV:

I could kill Adam right now. I really do want to spend time with Eli, honestly. But I need Adam to come to dinner with us. I can become so awkward, and flustered around people sometimes, and I can guarantee I will around Eli. Adam is such a good conversation starter! Whatever. I'll just deal.

"So where are you going to whisk me off to tonight, Mr. Goldsworthy?"

"Ahh, Clare. I see your curiosity hasn't died out. I shan't tell you, for it would ruin the element of surprise." Yeah right. I doubt he even knows where to take us, but doesn't want to look foolish. If he wants to play that game, I will too.

"Can I at least have a hint? Please?" I look at him with my best puppy dog eyes, and can basically see the wheels in his head turning.

"Nope. You can't." Eli states, looking right into my eyes. "Has anyone ever told you that you have pretty eyes?" Eli says, trying to change the subject.

"Just a couple people," I say "but when you say it, it actually means something to me." I whisper to him. Maybe I don't need Adam after all.

ELI'S POV:

I have no idea where to take Clare. I think that she knows, but I try to hide it as much as possible. Clare just makes my mind go blank and I can't think about anything else but trying to kiss her, let alone thinking of a place to eat! I decide we'll just get some pizza. As we enter my favorite pizza place, I order one medium pizza, half peperoni, and the other half vegetarian. Clare loves vegetarian style pizza. We find a table and wait for our pizza to be cooked.

"So Clare, what have you been up to lately?"

"Oh, just this and that. I'm thinking of transferring here, actually. What have you been dong, other than writing your own book? I still find that crazy, but incredibly amazing!"

"I've been studying English, I hope to become a professor at a college nearby."

"That's great, Eli. I'm glad your life has been going well." Clare says, sounding truly sincere. Our pizza arrives and we dig in. The dinner goes by so fast, and we just chat. It's like we're getting to know each other again, but just keep avoiding the one important topic. Our relationship. I can already feel the sparks forming between us, and am dying to know if she feels them, too.

"Clare, this night has been fantastic; but lets not beat around the bush. When you leave tonight, where will that leave us?" I finally muster up the courage to say to her. When she doesn't say anything I begin to worry, but then out of nowhere I feel her lips on mine. Clare Edwards just kissed me. It was for like two seconds, but still, Clare Edwards just kissed me.

"Does that answer anything?" Clare giggles.

"Actually, I'm more confused now. Do you want to be my girlfriend or…?"

"I think we should take things slowly. You know, have a 'first date' and all that mushy stuff."

"Alright then, I agree. But one more thing," I kiss Clare once more, just because I couldn't resist.

"Eli, I need to get home now. Goooodbyeee…" Clare says in a teasing manner, as she walks to her car and drives away. This has been one heck of a night.
