Clares pov

I had been waiting for Eli in his room for what seemed like ever, I looked over at the clock, 8:45 well he had said he needed to talk to Liz, I didn't want to intrude. I took a long hot shower, got dressed slowly, did my hair, tidied elis room, folded his laundry, and finally at 10:14 settled onto his bed with a torn up copy of Catcher and the rye I found on his nightstand. Just as I was getting into it the door opened

"hey, sorry that took so long. We had a lot to catch up on...did you clean my room?" he asked interupting his own sentence

"oh yeah. I had some time to kill" I replied with a bit of a sarcastic tone, and a small laugh.

"I know! I'm so sorry Clare, I didnt think it would take take that long! we just havent seen each other in a long time" he said while sitting infront of me on the bed "nice book choice by the way"

" I found it on your table and I've never read it, but about Liz I understand, but is everything ok? You look kind of teary and exhausted" I said gently brushing a piece of hair out of his face.

"we just discussed some heavy stuff is all" He answered leaning over and kissing me softly on the lips "Good morning by the way"

"Good Morning"

"Hey do you think you can sleep at Jennas again tonight?" he asked doing air quotes around the word Jenna

"Yeah I think I should be able to make that work." I answered smiling and thinking about the night we had just had, hoping for a repeat

"Clare?"

"Yes?" we had pulled me from my fantasy and I blushed like I had being caught doing something I shouldnt

"Why are you blushing?"

"Its nothing, and im assuming thats not what you wanted to ask me" As soon as the words came out of my mouth Eli looked down at my ring on his finger and started blushing, "Eli? what is it?" He had something on his mind, and it was upsetting him. What could it be though?

"Do you...I mean you dont..." He took a deep breath before continueing, "Do you regret what happened between us? becuase if you do its ok, we dont have to do it again, Not that i dont wnat to, becuase I do, I just mean if your not comfortable, or you feel like I forced you into it, or something, we can go back, I mean we cant go back back, but we can pretend to go back...Im rambeling arent I?"

I had to stifle a small giggle "Yes you are" He looked up at me with just his eyes, he had a way of asking a question without actually saying anything out loud "You didnt pressure me, and I dont regret it, I love you and last night was perfect. It was exactly how I imagined it, and as for us not doing it again. Well I can honestly say that would be an incredible disapointment." I pressed my lips to his and before I knew it I was on my back on the bed and his body was pressed on top of mine. I wanted him now more then ever, I felt his lips trail down my jaw and onto my neck, and his hands roam my body. Our clothing came off quickly, leaving us in only our underwear my bra had been disgarded already. I felt Elis hand slip into my underwear making my back arch with pleasure...

"Hey guys pancakes are...OH MY GOD!" Liz screamed slamming the door behind her, Eli and I were left there vulnerable and in shock forgetting that we had left the door open a crack.
