Just Review please! I love reviews! :D But anyone else think tonight's episode was amazing? Haha I loved it! Well please read and hope you enjoy!
Eli woke up on his back, seeing Clare's innocent face lying her head on his chest smiling. He tried to free his arm from under her without waking her, but failed. Her beautiful blue eyes fluttered open and she looked up at Eli, resting her chin on his torso. "Morning."
"Morning sunshine," Eli joked running his hand through her bedhead, and after they both let out a giggle he continued. "Sleep well?"
"Very well! How about you?" She grinned.
"One of my best nights of sleep I've had in weeks." They smiled at each other before pecking a quick kiss.
"So… Want to skip first period?" She slowly ran her fingers up and down his abdomen in a sexual way.
His eyes moved down to his body then up at Clare's face, he grabbed her hand and sat up. "Nah. We should go to school today. See what we missed yesterday."
"Yeah I guess you're right, sir."
He smirked, "Sir. I like that." She laughed lightly slapping him. They kissed again and she pulled him toward her so that he was over her using his arms to keep him from crushing her. He drew himself from her and got on his feet, crouched on the futon.
"What's wrong? Where are you going?" She sat up.
"I gatta take a cold shower." He quickly said as he jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom. Leaving Clare silently laughing to herself.
Eli was tickling Clare as they ran up the stairs. She yelled "stop" continuously under her laughter, but secretly loving every second his hands would poke her sides repetitively. They were dressed in their uniforms and holding their bags, about to leave for school. Mrs. Goldsworthy was on the phone and she stopped Eli in the kitchen, where he instructed Clare he'd meet her in Morty, then they would go to The Dot. "Hold on one second," Mrs. G asked sweetly before pulling the phone away and covering the receiver. "Eli, that's Clare's mom. I told her she showed up late and we allowed her to spend the night. But, even though I love Clare to death. You have to take her home, to her home, straight after school."
"Yes mom. Tell Mr. and Mrs. Edwards not to worry. I'll be sure to have Clare home after school. I was actually planning to anyway." Eli responded.
"Thank you honey. Her parents are so worried and I can't even imagine what they were going through last night when they found her gone." She pulled him closer and kissed the top of his head making him smirk. "And we will talk about you not sleeping on the couch last night when you get home."
"Oh, don't worry mom. We didn't do anything. Trust me." Eli made his honest remark in a mordant tone as he exited through the front door.
When Eli climbed into Morty he was still laughing to himself as he turned on the ignition. "What?" Clare asked in a cheerful pitch.
Eli backed Morty out of the driveway and answered, "My mom is certain we had sex last night."
Clare joined into his laugh. "Really? Ha. Yeah right."
"What? Am I not worthy to take your virginity?" Eli sarcastically replied.
"Unless you get down on one knee and give me an expensive diamond ring you're not." Eli rolled his eyes as he rolled his head to give her a look, now driving with only one arm. She held up her left hand, "Abstinent. Remember?"
"Oh, don't worry I remember. Always. I just want to know if you always do?" He was setting her up.
"Of course I remember!"
"So this morning, you weren't purposely trying to turn me on? And the other night in Morty, you just wanted to get naked and just make out?" Eli listed off.
She crossed her arms. "I do not want to have sex with you Eli."
He put his hands up and smirked in surrender. "Fine whatever you say Edwards." He turned into a parking space by The Dot and whispered. "Whatever you say."
They arrived at school, ignoring the conversation that ended at The Dot. They got to Clare's locker where she was grabbing books for her first period, Calculus. Eli had his hands in his pocket, leaning his back against the locker next to hers, resting his head back looking at the ceiling. He sighed which made her question him. "So, the other night was nothing?"
"You're still thinking about this. I thought we were done." She shut her locker but he gave her an adorably questionable gaze. "Like you said that night. I was emotional and wasn't thinking straight."
"And this morning?" They started walking to her classroom.
"I just wanted to be with you. Is that so wrong? I was just trying to be cute and flirty. I didn't mean to turn you on that easily." She hugged her books, hiding her blushing face.
He placed his arm around her shoulders. "I guess not." He smirked, in his way of blushing without really showing it.
They walked down the hall to Clare's math class where they said bye, and instead of kissing like they each wanted to. They gave each other a loving hug and quick side cheek kisses as they pulled apart. He watched her for a couple seconds as she walked into the classroom, smiling at the beauty he could call his girlfriend. Then he walked away toward his class.
Clare looked up at the screen which had the new seating arrangements up, for any students who were gone the day before or forgot. Her seat was second to last in the corner of the classroom, in front of K.C. Guthrie. "Shit!" She cussed under her breath so low no one could hear her. She took her seat avoiding eye contact with him.
"Hey Clare. Missed ya yesterday." He greeted. She didn't reply. "Clare?"
"What K.C.?" She turned around furiously.
"I just wanted to see how you were. We haven't talked since that day at The Dot last year." K.C. tried to sound innocent.
"There's a reason for that." She rudely responded.
"Oh c'mon. For the test? That was ages ago."
Clare rolled her eyes. "You're an idiot if you don't know."
"Jenna? I hear you're friends with her again." He used a hidden tone.
"Yeah. We are. Because we found something we both have in common." He moved his eyebrows into a confused look. "We both think you're a douche."
"St. Clare! Such language." His sarcasm came out and she just turned away. "So who's the emo-boy?" Clare groaned. "Is he you're new boy to not do anything with? Or is he just some lonely depressed dude you feel sorry for?"
She whipped back around, "Don't you dare say anything bad about Eli! You don't know him and have no right judging him!" This anger just over came her body causing her to yell without thinking.
Mr. Armstrong coughed to get Clare's attention. "Uh… Miss Edwards. First, don't think I didn't recognize you weren't in class yesterday. Detention. And second, may I start class without any of your outbursts." He demanded more than asked.
"Yes sorry sir." She turned back around and sank in her seat, embarrassed that the whole class was staring at her now.
After class, when she exited, Alli quickly scurried to her side linking arms. "Clare! Where have you been? You weren't at school yesterday and my parents had to question me if you stayed the night without their permission or not."
"Yeah. I skipped yesterday… with Eli." She shyly said. "And sorry. Tuesday night I sorta ran off and camped out with Eli in his car."
K.C. caught her in ear shot trying to hear more, but caught only bits.
Alli shimmied. "Oh! Did things get steamy?"
Clare looked at the floor. "No. But we did admit we loved each other. Then I spent the night with Eli last night at his house."
Alli stepped in front of her and stopped. "So two nights in a row you have slept with Eli? What's going on girl?"
K.C. turned the other way and left.
Clare continued, "My parents were fighting at dinner with Eli Tuesday night. So I stormed out and Eli comforted me. Then last night my parents said they were… getting a divorce… So I stayed at Eli's."
"And no sex?"
"No! Alli you know me better than that." They linked arms again and started to walk again.
"I know. But you do surprise me sometimes Miss Clare Edwards."
