Hey guys sorry it took so long to post a new chapter, but I didn't have time to write anything do to the fact that I had midterms this past week, and cheerleading competitions. Well anyways here's the sixth chapter. please R&R :) Italics are their inner thoughts.
Eli POV:
I'm really getting tired of walking. I take my phone from my pocket at notice that we've been walking for almost 30 minutes now.
"Do you want to stop here?" I ask as soon as we were standing infront of a pizza shack.
"Uhh sure" is all she managed to reply. I walked in, her not far behind and sit in the booth next to the window across from Clare.
"What can I get for you?" the waiter asks with what I know oh-to-well as a fake smile.
I look over at Clare who just shrugs her shoulders.
"We'll have two cokes, thanks"
"Coming right up" The waiter answers and walks away. I look at Clare who is nervously playing with her hands.
I smile as I think about the fact that I'm the reason she's so nervous. Wow...Elijah could you be anymore cocky?
"Why are you smiling?" Clare's sudden question brought me back to reality.
"Oh...nothing, but tell me Edwards...do I make you nervous?" I say inching closer and I notice her breath hitch.
I know exactly how to make this girl squirm; I think to myself.
Clare's POV:
Oh my god! He noticed!
I knew I felt a blush rising to me cheeks. Calm yourself Clare! He's just a boy! A really cute, smart, sarcastic boy, I say with a smile on my face.
"Am I the reason that smile is planted on your face Clare?" but before I could answer Eli's question he inturrupted.
" You know because I'm cute, smart,and sarcastic" he finished with a smirk forming on his lips.
Oh god...had I said that aloud?
"You know Edwards...you should really think about what you say aloud" he glared straight into my eyes, but I couldn't look at him. I was so embarrassed; I can't believe I had actually said that aloud?
"Here are your drinks. Now what would you like to order?" the waiter asked. Eli tore his eyes from me and glanced at the waiter. He than looked back at me and mouthed "is cheese okay?" I just nodded my head; still too nervous to speak.
"One medium cheese pizza. Thats all." Eli quickly stated avoiding any further questions from the waiter; than returning his glance to me.
"Clare why so quiet?" He asked concern forming in his voice.
"N-n-nothing..." Great now I'm stuttering! God Clare get it together!
Eli's usual smirk rose to his lips. He than moved his chair in, getting even closer to me.
"You know Blue Eyes you shouldn't be nervous" he took a slight pause than glanced up at me.
"Because I also think your cute and smart...but I also think your shy and confident, safe but adventerous all at the same time." His eyes never left mine. I was out of words and had no clue how to respond.
He began to lean in from across the table and for some reason I found myself doing the same.
sorry I know it's a cliffhanger. But they are spending the whole school day together so I don't want to write all it in one day. I WILL have more posted either tomorrow night or Tuesday after school so stay tuned to see what happens next with ECLARE.
