Unmasked

Summary: Sequel to Masquerade; You know what's awesome? Clare and I are together. You know what I find hilarious? Julia and KC's stupid jealousy. You know what sucks about that though? The drama that came along with mine and Clare's relationship.

Chapter 5 – Look Away

Eli quickly pulled himself away from Clare, who had the reddest blush painting her cute face.

"Alli! You have me a heart attack!" Clare shouted. She watched her friend giggle and say through fits of heavy laughter, "The looks on your faces are so priceless! Hahaha!" Alli walked to the couch and sat down in between Eli and Clare. Eli got up from the couch. Clare asked, "Eli where are you going?" Eli gave her a look and she mouthed an "oh". Clare turned to Alli.

"How did you get in here?" She asked.

"Hi Alli, how was your trip to New York? Fine Clare it was truly amazing. I took pictures and everything." Alli said. Clare rolled her eyes and smiled. She asked, "How was your trip anyway?"

"It was really good. But aside from that, how are you and—wait, why was Eli all over you? What happened between you and KC?" Alli asked quickly. Clare frowned. She had thought that she told Alli about the drama that happened while she was gone, unfortunately she didn't. Clare sighed heavily and before she could explain, Eli walked in saying, "KC was cheating on Clare with Julia, visa versa, and we found them sucking face at the Dot the day we were all going to have a double date."

"Ouch, that's cold… so how long did it take before you guys got together?"

"Two months after we found out." Clare said.

"Damn, well I just dropped by to say hello I'll talk to you guys later." Alli hugged Clare, who returned the hug as well. Alli got up and she walked by Eli. Soon enough, they were alone again. Eli sat down next to Clare and he tapped his fingers on his knees. Clare glanced over at him, and they both stared at each other for a few seconds. Clare smiled inwardly and said, "Sooo…"

"Sooo." Eli mimicked her.

"What now?" Clare asked.

"Well… where exactly were we?" Eli asked, scooting closer to Clare. She blushed and turned her head away. Eli smirked and he softly grabbed her ankle, and pulled her to lie back on the couch. He crawled on top of her and tilted her chin up to face him. Eli leaned down to kiss her, but she moved her head away. Eli pinned his eyebrows together and he asked, "Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah… I just—I don't want to do anything, because you know… my parents might walk in next time." Clare blushed at the thought. Eli chuckled and he said, "Okay we don't have to continue, but just one more kiss?" Clare smiled a little and she leaned up and softly placed her lips over Eli's. He cupped her face and pulled away, gluing their foreheads together.

He moved away from her and sat upright on the couch, Clare sat up and she scooted to him, placing her head on his shoulder. Eli moved his arm around her shoulders and their eyes slowly gazed into each other's eyes. Clare smiled and she reached up and brushed his bangs from his face. Eli leaned down and he stole a kiss from her. Clare whimpered and she gasped when Eli pulled her into his lap.

His hands moved to her hips and he gripped them through her soft cotton floral dress. Clare gasped again and Eli snaked his tongue into her mouth. Clare pulled away, or tried to, but Eli reached up and grabbed the back of her head and crushed their lips harder, his tongue moved against hers, but she didn't comply. Eli pulled his mouth away and stared up at her.

"We have to stop, I can't… we can't." Clare whispered.

Eli blinked a few times and he wrapped his arms around her waist asking, "What's wrong Clare?"

"I kind of lost my mood when Alli walked in." Clare laughed.

Eli arched his eyebrow and whispered huskily, "Well I guess I'm going to have to get you into the mood again won't I?—

"No you won't."

Clare turned around and blushed ten shades of red, finding her parents standing behind them. She quickly moved off of Eli's lap and Randal said, "Eli… I think it's time for you to be heading home." Eli smiled sheepishly and he got up from the couch, kissed Clare's cheek and whispered, "I'll call you when I get home." She nodded and watched Eli leave after he grabbed his jacket and slipped it on.

"Clare, what did we tell you about 'hooking up' with Eli while we're not in the house? It's indecent for a girl your age." Helen said in the typical "nagging mother" tone. Clare sighed heavily and she got up from the couch, and headed upstairs, not bothering to listen to her nagging parents. Clare closed herself in her room and she pealed her clothes of, slipping into a loose t-shirt and a pair of plaid red pajama shorts. She groaned, realizing that her purse is still downstairs.

Clare walked out of her room, headed down the stairs, grabbed her purse, and as quick as possible she bolted back up the stairs and into her room.

Beep, Beep!

Clare reached into her large purse, grabbing her phone once she heard that she received a text message.

You should be glad I love you; I hate to text and drive at the same time
Eli

Clare smiled and she plopped herself on her bed. She quickly texted him back; Well don't do it then, Eli common sense is something everybody should know about.

She reached over and grabbed the vampire novel sitting on her nightstand and started to read where she left off, waiting for Eli to text her back. Clare felt around for her phone when she heard it beep a couple of times. She placed her book down over her lap and read the text.

Don't get smart with me Saint Clare, you don't know what I'm capable of… yet
Eli

Clare pinned her eyebrows together and cocked her head to the side and chewed on her bottom lip. She texted him back; what exactly are you trying to say Goldsworthy?

She put the phone down and continued to read her novel. Momentarily, Eli soon texted her back and Clare blinked a few times.

Punishment Blue Eyes, I don't think you'd want to endure that with me.
Eli

Clare didn't have the slightest idea on how to respond to that, so she didn't. Clare placed her phone down next to her and she picked up her book and started to read where she left off. After five minutes, her phone started to ring, it being Eli because the ringtone she chose for him, well the ringtone she wanted her to choose for him was, Situations by Escape the Fate.

"Hello?"

"Speechless Blue Eyes?" Eli asked on the other line.

"What do you mean?" Clare asked, setting her book down beside her.

"Well you stopped texting me after I sent you that last text, so… speechless?"

"Actually," Clare paused for a minute, "yeah sort of…" She muttered. Clare heard Eli mutter a "hn", knowing that he was smirking that certain smirk that made her body tingle all over.

"I was only kidding just for your information." Eli stated as he walked into his room and removed his jacket and plopped himself on the bed.

"It didn't sound like you were kidding." Clare stated.

"Well Blue Eyes… do you want me to not be kidding? We can some sort of punishment happen." Eli said huskily.

Clare blushed and she cleared her throat. She stammered, "N-no… it's fine." Eli smirked and he whispered huskily, but loud enough for her to hear, "Are you sure? Sounds like you do."

"E-Eli I'm serious."

Oh, how much Eli was enjoying this. He absolutely loved the power he had over Clare.

"You know what I would do first?"

"No, and I—don't want to um… know." Clare said as she chewed hard on her bottom lip, tugging it with her teeth. She sat up against the headboard of her bed and swallowed hard.

"I'd probably start by kissing on your neck—

"ELI!" Clare whimpered.

"Okay, okay ha ha. I'll stop." Eli laughed on the other end and said, "Well anyway Blue Eyes, I'm pretty sure you'd probably want to get to bed now. Seeing as it is… a little bit passed twelve?" Eli heard Clare yawn on the other end. She said, "Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow at school okay?"

"Okay, I love you." Eli said.

"I love you too." Clare smiled.

She closed her phone and placed it on her nightstand. Clare got up and she turned the light off in her room and made her way back to her bed. She crawled under the sheets and laid her head on the pillow and closed her eyes. Clare hadn't taken a note at how tired she was, because the second she closed her eyes, sleep had taken over.

.

Eli placed his phone on the dresser and he quickly changed into a pair of long pajama pants. He walked to his laptop and signed into his FaceRange account. He clicked on his new friend request and noticed that it was from Adam; he couldn't help but laugh at the small message he sent along with his sent request.

Um… nice face? God your picture is so awkward…

Eli accepted his request and then checked to see who is online.

Adam-Toress85: Hey!

Eli-gold48: What's up?

Adam-Toress85: Couldn't sleep, mom's been keeping me up…

Eli-gold48: I'm sorry?

Adam-Toress85: It's not your fault, so what's up with you?

Eli-gold48: Um, about to head to bed.

Adam-Toress85: Oh… well I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Eli-gold48: Okay, see you later.

Eli logged out of his FaceRange and crawled into his bed, sighing loud and muttering something along the lines of "ohh, this feels so good" into his pillow. It didn't take him long to fall asleep after he closed his eyes.

.

Clare yawned for the tenth time; she lazily twisted the combination into her combination lock and opened her locker. Clare looked at herself in the mirror, eyeing how completely exhausted she looked. She's been in school for exactly five minutes, and Clare was already to be heading home. She sighed and turned her head when she felt someone tap her shoulder.

"Good morning Clare."

"Morning Alli." She muttered.

"Wow, you look exhausted. Late night phone conversations with Mr. Eli?" Alli playfully elbowed Clare's side and Clare muttered, "No… I'm just tired. I didn't get enough sleep last night." After grabbing her book, Clare turned around and looked at her friend. Alli smiled a little. Clare looked over Alli's shoulder and watched Eli walk through the doors. And damn, he looked like shit.

"Eli, you look terrible." Clare stated.

"Yeah… I think I'm getting sick." Eli muttered. Clare frowned and she reached up and placed her palm against his forehead. She said, "Eli you're pretty warm. You should go home and rest." Eli shook his head and he walked around Clare to get to his locker. He twisted the combination into the lock and pulled his locker open.

"It's fine Clare… I'll go home if it gets worse." Eli grabbed his book and closed his locker. Alli waved Clare off and she started to head to her first class. Eli walked Clare to class like he did every morning. And of course, every morning there just had to be some kind of time where a certain couple just had to come and ruin it.

"How's your lip?" KC asked.

Eli glared at him and said, "What's it to you?" KC shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just wondering." Clare stroked Eli's arm and they both walked around Julia and KC. Julia sighed and she said, "KC was supposed to apologize to you." Eli laughed sarcastically and said, "I've heard enough of his apologies, I'm sure this time won't be any different." Eli stood in front of the classroom and Clare hugged him close to her. She whispered, "I hope you feel better today." Eli smiled and he leaned in to kiss her but Clare covered his mouth.

"I'm not kissing you if you're sick."

"Well fine." Eli smirked. He kissed her cheek and she laughed a little. Clare walked into her class and Eli turned tail and headed to his own.

"Eli! Eli before you get to class, we should talk."

"Julia what part of I don't want to talk to you do you NOT understand?" Eli asked. God, the head ache he had was only getting worse. He felt like shit, and talking to Julia wasn't going to make his morning any better. She said, "Eli please. This is important." Julia took his hand in hers and he yanked it back almost shouting, "Julia, just drop it okay! I don't want to listen to what you have to say." The bell rung and the hallways soon emptied, leaving Eli and Julia standing alone.

"Please Eli."

Eli sighed heavily. He turned around to face her and crossed his arms across his chest. Maybe listening to her will get her to stop nagging on him, so Eli said, "Fine… what is it?" Julia smiled softly and she said, "What you saw at the Dot two months ago… that was something that… I didn't want you to see—KC he… well what we had was just a fling, I didn't think that—

"You would get caught?" Eli asked, getting a little annoyed that Julia was walking around the actual truth that she was trying to tell him. Julia sighed heavily. She whispered, "Eli, KC and I were ending it… what he had, and you guys just happened to show up at the wrong time."

"You were ending it, yet you and he are together now? Julia you're such a horrible liar." Eli said.

"Eli please, let me finish!" Julia almost shouted. Eli clamped his mouth shut and Julia turned around to sit down on the empty seats. Eli followed, getting tired of standing. He kept his distance and Julia continued, "I miss you Eli… so much. The thing that KC and I have now is nowhere as good as what we had. I'm sorry, I truly am."

"Good for you, now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to class."

"Eli, I'm pregnant." Julia said.

Eli stopped dead in his tracks and he slowly turned around. He asked, "You're kidding right? KC gets you pregnant and you come to me?" Julia got up and she said, "KC doesn't know… Eli I'm so scared."

"Well Jules, they made condoms and birth control for a reason. This is your problem, not mine. I'm through with you Julia. Figure out a way to tell KC because I'm not going to help you with this. If it were mine, it would be a different story, but right now… this is yours and KC's problem." Eli turned around and walked into the classroom.

"Mr. Goldsworthy, you're late because?"

"Um… I actually don't have an excuse, it won't happen again." Eli said. The teacher nodded and continued with his lesson.

Julia clenched her fists and she whispered, "Eli if only you knew…"
