CLARE POV

"We are going shopping. I need a new wardrobe." I sighed. Charleigh may be the complete opposite of Connie, but even this girl is a shopaholic.

"Fine, lets go, we need to be home in a few hours." She nodded and bounced excitedly.

"Wow, are you sure your not Connie?" I smiled, so she knew I was kidding.

She got serious. "We must never speak of this moment." She said with her pointer finger out, and a grim look on her face, that made me start laughing.

COBY POV
RESTAURANT

"So, what do you do for a living?" this Eli guy, smiled, and said "I'm a music producer." Connie smiled real huge.

"So, you've met famous people, like rock stars?" he chuckled and nodded.

"Don't mind her small mindedness." Connie scoffed at me, and I rolled my eyes.

My phone went off, and I answered it.

"Yo, what's up?" I laughed at her out burst.

"Who says 'Yo' anymore?" I could feel her shrugging from the other line.

"I don't know, I was trying to bring it back, didn't work?" I laughed again.

"No, sorry, let's just forget ever trying that."

"Anyway Coby, are you still taking me to the dance?"

"Of course, unless you don't want me to." She giggled, it was so cute.

"Of course I do, even my dad wants you to take me." I smiled at that.

"Well I have to go, my, uh dad? Is here, so I'll call you tonight?"

"Sure, bye Coby."

"Bye DiMarco."

I hung up the phone to see Connie looking at me with a sly look.

"Bye, DiMarco." She was mocking me.

"It's better than, Oh Joey, I know you're the quarterback, but can't you just fuck the shit out of me?"

"ASSHOLE!"

"BITCH!"

"Whoa, guys chill."

ELI POV
I watched as they bickered, but then I cut in. they were getting to be a little too much.

"So how's life?" I asked them. Hoping that it wouldn't be awkward.

CLARE POV

"Mom, you need to get this!"

"NO! I have spent 300 dollars, lets GO!" she laughed, and followed me out of the store.

We made it into the house, and Eli was there.

He made my heart skip a beat, even after all these years.

"Mom, can he stay the night?" I sighed, knowing who they were talking about.

"Sure, if that's what he wants. I'm sure he has better things to do though."

"I'd love to." I smiled, and the kids all pulled me into the bedroom, I was confused.

"Don't blow this mom. But also remember, we don't need anymore brothers and sisters." I smiled.

"Nothing is going to happen, he has a girlfriend." Connie smiled knowingly.

"So, you didn't deny that you wanted something to happen."

"Good night guys." They went to their rooms, and I sat down on my bed, and pulled a box out from under my bed.

I sat their looking at their baby pictures, ever since they were little, and I was planning on giving some of them to Eli, if he wanted them.

"Hey, Eli, can you come here for a minute?" I heard the TV turn off, and he peeked his head through the door, than came and sat down next to me.

"I was just curious as to if you wanted some pictures, of them, I mean, you don't have to have them, I mean, maybe your girlfriend wouldn't want you to, or." I was cut off my warm lips on mine. It felt so good, to feel this again, so I slowly kissed back, un aware of what I was even doing.

He has a girlfriend.

"Stop." He looked confused. I stood up, and walked out of the room, and sat on the couch. I heard his foot steps fallowing behind me, so I knew he wanted to know what was on my mind.

"You have a girlfriend." He chuckled, and I glared. Now was not the time for chuckling.

"Clare, I don't have a girlfriend. She broke up with me, she was apparently only using me."

"I'm sorry" was the only thing I could say.

"I'm not." And with that, his lips were back on mine, and I wouldn't stop him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he laid down on top of me. I slowly turned us over so that I was on top of him, and stood up, without breaking the kiss.

I pulled my arms back around his neck as he stood up as well, and walked backwards into the bedroom. As soon as we made it in there, I shut the door, and pressed him against it. I pulled back quickly.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked. I nodded, still kind of weary about the whole idea.

"What's wrong?" I wanted to tell him, but I was slightly shy about this.

"No one, besides you, has ever seen me naked before. I'm gross looking now." I mumbled the last part.

I looked down at my hands, and began to go open the door, until I felt arms going around my waste.

"Your perfect," he kissed my jaw.

"Gorgeous." And then he kissed my neck.

"But most importantly, your mine." And with that, he kissed the top of my covered breast. I gave in almost instantly, and fell into his arms. He dragged me to the bed, and laid me down. He started kissing my again, and when he started to pull on my shirt, my worries went away, and my shirt was on the floor.

I then pulled his shirt off, and ran my fingers up and down his flat chest. I heard his sigh at my touch.

"Clare, I love you so much" he whispered in my ear, before going for my pants.

"I've never stopped loving you." I said, as I pulled the rest of my clothes off.

He was already exposed, and I was anticipating what would come next. To say my body was craving this, was a severe understatement. My body, needed this, him.

After a long night, they woke up in each others arms. Smiling, like they haven't in 15 years…
