I know I haven't updated in forever! But yes, now you are able to figure out what Eli had planned. Sorry it took forever. Other stuff, then the holidays. So here you go READ, REVIEW, and ENJOY! There's a song in this chapter, that also inspired me kind of. It's I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. Check it out. It's one of my all time favourite songs.
"You had to show me the edge of the woods?" Clare asked rudely as Eli put Morty in park.
"It's inside the woods that I want to show you." Eli replied taking the keys out of the ignition.
"But it's cold. And I am in heels." Clare whined. Eli got out and climbed into the back to grab something. "I just want to remind you. You are the one working to win me back!"
A couple seconds passed after the back door closed. And Eli came around to Clare's door, opening it. "Exactly why I'm doing this." He helped her put on a big hoody of his that was in the back. Then picked her up in his arms like honeymooners do.
She hugged his shoulders. "Oh my god! Put me down before you drop me." Clare demanded, holding on as if her life was on the line.
He kicked the door shut. "C'mon! You have to admit, I'm trying. I don't want your feet to get all muddy."
He set her down. "I think I'll deal." She hid her smile. Eli held her hand as he guided her through the trees, along the path. Once Eli could see the opening for the meadow, he turned to and covered her eyes. "What? Now I can't see what you want to show me?"
Eli scoffed with his smirk as he continued to guide her to the meadow. They walked up to the gazebo, where Eli stepped on a button that lit up all the lights around the gazebo. He pulled out his stereo's remote and hit play where I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith came on. When he let go of her face and let her eyes see the display in front of them. Clare's mouth dropped, "Oh my… Eli… You didn't… for me?" She took a few steps closer to it. She then realized the blankets and pillows on the ground of the gazebo and a large basket pushed against the side on the floor.
Eli walked up to her. "I thought we could have a picnic." –He grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers- "After a dance?" Clare looked down hiding her smile as she placed her free hand on his shoulder, and he did the same but placed his hand on her waist. They swayed to the music, Eli looking at her grinning as she kept looking at his chest. "Eli. You didn't have to do this?"
"I wanted to." She looked up at him finally smiling. She laid her head against his chest, closing her eyes and he rested his chin onto of her curls. He started to sing with the music quietly, almost a whisper, "I don't wanna miss one smile. I don't wanna miss one kiss. Well, I just wanna be with you, Right here with you, just like this. I just wanna hold you close. Feel your heart so close to mine. And stay here in this moment. For all the rest of time."
"I didn't know you could sing." Clare mumbled from her buried face into his button up shirt. "You're really good." He didn't respond, just concealed his face into her curls to kiss the top of her head. The song stopped, and Eli pulled away to grab the basket and pull out some food for them to eat. Clare sat one of the pillows, "That was beautiful song. Can we listen to it again?"
Eli grin grew, as he hit the back button to repeat the song. "I got Clare Edwards to like an Aerosmith song. I'm pretty damn proud of myself." He pulled out some iced tea to pour into two glasses to drink. "I'm glad you liked it. It's one of my favourites, of slow songs. And I thought it fit perfectly with me… Us." Clare took a few sips, hoping it would disguise the smile she held. "So, I'm guessing that smile means you forgive me?"
She looked up, "It means more than forgiveness." Eli tilted his head smirking sweetly. Clare set her glass on the concrete, before climbing onto his lap and kissing him. "You know, how about a month ago I told you I didn't want to sleep with you?" Eli raised his eyebrows. "I lied. I love you Eli. And… and… with all of this. I can't think of a reason to not want to tell you how much I love you. Except for, showing it."
Eli's mouth dropped. "Clare. Are you sure?" She leered at him before wrapping her hands around his neck. He fell back onto the blanket, she started to unbutton his shirt. Breathing when they pulled away for a moment, "Eli I love you. So much." And the music continued,
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
"Eli I love you. So much." Clare said with her breaths from the camera.
"This is perfect." A man said as he paused the camera. "Hahaha she won't know what got her." KC said smiling at another man leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette in the shadows of the ally.
"What are you thinking?" The man said inhaling another puff.
"I was thinking of sending it around the whole school." KC said.
"Oh C'mon. That's no fun." He chucked the cigarette onto the floor and out stepped into the bit of light there was, Fitz. "You want Clare back right?"
"Right." KC nodded.
"Then we need to get into her head." Fitz smirked as he tapped his temple.
"Well I was thinking send out to the whole school and blame it on Eli. She'd think He set up a camera or something and she will hate him, and come running back to me." KC explained.
Fitz gave him an idiotic look. "I thought you were supposes to be smart. Have you forgotten all of Degrassi has turned into a police state. They'll be able to figure out it was you."
"So... Say we found it when Eli was trying to show some kid."
"No he'll just deny it. And she will take his word over ours." Fitz took a second to think. "No. We need to do something dirty, and secretive." An evil grin grew on his face. "Blackmail."
"What do you mean?"
"I will blackmail her, threatening I'll show the video. Make her dump emo boy. Get her crying and upset. You go after her when she's most vulnerable. Boom. Bam. You get your girl. And you pay me." Fitz explained.
"I like it. But who will you show. Again, the whole school?"
He showed his teeth in this creepy smile. "Her parents. They're crazy Christians right?" KC nodded. "It's full proof dude. This will work."
"Hope you're right." KC said as he glanced at the camera again which showed a paused scene of Clare smiling after he rewound the video.
Oh shit! Yep KC and Fitz are teaming up to mess with Eli and Clare. And yes Eli and Clare fucked. I'm heading for Major Drama Territory. hahahah. Well I'll update as soon as I can. but I hope you liked it. Tell me what you think. :*(^_^) ~Eli
