Clare was still sleeping on the couch. Fiona and Adam were sitting at the island top eating eggs and toast. Eli soon came out of his room with his pajama pants with no shirt on.
"Hey." Eli said rubbing his tired eyes.
"Morning, why is your girl sleeping on the couch?" Adam questioned.
He looked over at Clare then back at the couple, "We got in a fight last night."
"Oh god, what about?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"You two need to make up or we can't have a fun trip." Eli rolled his eyes and made his way to Clare, kneeled down in front of the couch and kissed her cheek, "Babe, wake up."
She twisted and turned and was now facing him but still sleeping. He shook her and her eyes fluttered open.
"Hey, morning." He said.
She weakly smiled. He leaned in for a kiss and she gave him a chaste one, "Can we talk?" He asked.
"Yeah in a bit, I'm hungry." Eli nodded and moved back so she could get up. She went into the kitchen and saw Adam and Fiona, "Good morning."
"Good morning." The couple both responded. Clare took out some eggs and whipped them up for herself.
"Can you make me some please?" Eli questioned.
She nodded and began to make more. She soon finished and gave Eli his plate as she reclaimed her own plate.
"Can we talk on the balcony?" He questioned. She nodded and they walked off to go sit at the table on the balcony.
"Are you okay?"
She nodded as she took a bite from her eggs.
"Why didn't you sleep with me last night?"
"Because I felt like sleeping on the couch."
"No you never feel like sleeping on the couch, you always sleep with me. We talked about it; I don't understand why you're still mad."
"Eli, I'm not mad."
"Then tell me why you didn't sleep with me?"
"Because I just wanted to sleep on the couch, away from you. I'm not mad, I just kinda wanted a break to sleep by myself."
Eli nodded still not understanding if she was truly mad or not, "Are we okay then? Will you sleep with me tonight?"
She looked at him and nodded. They soon finished their breakfast and Clare was getting up to slide the balcony door open when Eli gently pulled her arm, leaning her back against the door.
He slowly moved closer to her lips to see if she would object or not, she didn't and he gently captured her lips in a kiss. Clare put the plate down on the table behind Eli and wrapped her arms around his neck. This kiss went on for a while until Clare pulled back.
"I love you and I'm sorry. "Eli whispered against her lips.
"I love you too." She gave him a chaste kiss, before grabbing her plate and going back inside the house with Eli following
They threw their plated on the sink, "You guys good?" Fiona asked.
Clare nodded as her and Eli both sat cuddled up on the couch.
"What are we doing today?" Fiona asked Eli.
"I don't know, why are you asking me?"
"You're the one with the bright ideas."
"Well whatever you guys have in mind, we can do."
"How about we go snorkeling?" Clare suggested.
"You want to go back in the water today?" Eli questioned and she nodded.
"Only if we could play golf right after." Fiona said.
"Sure."
"Then we eat?" Adam questioned.
Eli laughed, "Then we eat. We're gonna go get ready." And with that both of the couple parted to their different rooms.
XXXXXX
Clare grabbed her clothes and was about to head into her and Eli's bathroom when he gently tugged her back, "What happened?" She questioned his gesture.
"We're fine now and I wanted to know if I could take a shower with you, I won't touch you, just shower."
"Okay." She said bluntly.
They went in the bathroom and closed the door behind them. Eli looked at Clare awkwardly because considering they just had an argument about sexual stuff, the shower seemed a bit soon.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing, I'm fine." He weakly smiled.
"Uh, okay." She said with a questionable face. She turned on the water, making sure it was warm enough for her liking. She pulled her shirt over her head and threw it on the floor. She unclasped her bra and discarded it as well and she realized Eli was staring at her.
"Uhm aren't you coming in?" He questioned.
"Yeah, I just want you to get in first."
"You know, you're acting really weird. I thought we were fine."
"We are, I just, I'm trying to hold back from attacking you, you're so beautiful."
She blushed and looked down, "Thank you." She looked back up to him and weakly smiled. She put her fingers behind her pants and panties and tugged them down off her leg and climbed in the shower.
After Clare was in the shower, Eli was relieved that he can stop hiding his erection. He tugged his pants off then boxers and knew his obvious erection was bound to make Clare uncomfortable.
"Babeā¦"
"Yeah?" She called from in the shower.
"I don't think I'm gonna come in."
She stuck her head out of the curtain, "Why?"
He gestured down to his erection. She looked at it and back up at him.
"What about it?"
"It doesn't make you uncomfortable?"
"No Eli, I've seen it before."
"I just-after the talk, I thought it would."
"Act like it never happened, just come." He followed her order and stepped in the shower.
He stepped in and saw she was washing her hair. He tried not to ogle her body knowing his already painful erection would get worst.
He leaned his head against the tiled wall to think of something gross to help his situation. Clare rinsed the conditioner out of her hair and turned around and saw Eli leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
"Uhm are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm just trying to get it to go down; I don't wanna get off in front of you."
"Oh." She said bluntly. "It's not working?"
He shook his head, "Not with you being naked in front of me."
"Sorry." He shook his head and closed his eyes and continued to think of something dirty.
"Eli, you can leave it. It doesn't bother me."
"I know but it hurts."
"Do you want me to help you?" She whispered.
"Uhm what?" He questioned not believing she was putting such an offer up.
"Do you want me to help you?"
"As in a hand job?"
She nodded in response.
"You don't have to do that, if anything I'll just do it myself."
She shook her head and walked up to him, "Ever since we talked last night, you've been acting weird and distant and I want to show you that I'm comfortable with everything we do, I just need you to ask first. Okay?"
And he nodded in response. And with that Clare began her process of relieving his pain.
XXXXX
All four friends had on their snorkels, life jackets and feet fins. Clare looked over at Eli and laughed and removed the piece from her mouth, "You look cute."
He smiled and kissed her before they both placed the pieces back on their mouths. The instructor gave them the okay to go freely after he told them what to do. They went into the water until they were about waist deep and went underwater swimming further. Clare hit Eli's arm and pointed to a whole swarm of tiny sea horses. Clare swam closer to them and touched one immediately pulling back by the touch of its weird skin. They continued to swim around, seeing different sea creatures and somehow ran into Fiona and Adam despite the large sea. Fiona gave them the motion to come here and they followed her and Adam.
Adam pointed to the animal. Eli and Clare followed his finger and they saw a stingray. Clare squealed but it was muffled by the piece on her mouth. She swam into Eli's arms considering her fear of sting rays. Eli held her as they swam closer. She was trying to get him to let go of her but he wouldn't. She hit his arm telling him to stop but he wouldn't. Eli put his hand out and gently touched it. Eli took her hand out to touch it and she quickly retrieved it.
Eli quickly took the breathing part to his mask off and Clare's and kissed her, putting it back on. That was his sign that he was begging her to conquer her fear and touch it. She hesitantly reached her hand out and softly touched it with her middle finger, pulling back quickly. They continued to swim around with Adam and Fiona and soon came out of the water, walking back to shore. They were taking the masks off their faces.
"How was it?" Adam asked.
"Terrifying." Clare answered.
"It wasn't that bad, I went a couple of times with Declan." Fiona added.
"It's still scary. And you." She said looking at Eli. "I'm gonna kill you."
"Me? Why?"
"For making me touch that disgusting freaking gross animal."
"Well you got to kiss me underwater so it's okay." She rolled her eyes; they returned their gear and began to walk on the boardwalk to make their way to the golf course.
They were holding hands as Adam and Fi were holding hands right in front of them as they walked. Clare tugged his hand to get his attention, "You okay?" She whispered.
He nodded and gave her a chaste kiss. They soon arrived at the golf course; Adam was paying until he had a dilemma, "Clare." He called.
Both Eli and Clare looked up, got up from the bench and made their way to him, "Yeah?"
"You can't go in if you don't have a shirt." He said considering she only had a bathing suit top.
"I can't?" She asked the lady. The lady shook her head in response, "There's water and fire and different things in there. You won't get hurt but just in case you need a shirt."
She looked to Adam clueless, "I don't have one."
"I think I have one." Eli said taking the bag off his back and looking in it. He pulled out a white v neck.
"Is this fine?" Clare asked the lady and she nodded. Adam got their gold clubs and balls. Clare quickly slipped Eli's shirt on.
"Let's go. "Fiona said.
They were up about up to their 6th hole out of 18 in total.
"Clare, you suck." Adam pointed out.
"Yeah well thanks." She responded sarcastically trying to focus on hitting the ball. She attempted hit it and missed the ball. She sighed and tried to do it again.
"Babe, wait." Eli said.
She turned around and looked at him. He came behind her and put his hand on the club, his front pressed against her back.
"Well here we go." Adam said.
"Shut up, she doesn't know how to play."
He focused his attention back on Clare. "Keep your hands together." She did as he said and he put his hands on top of hers guiding the club and hit the ball and it went close to the hole.
"Thank you." She smiled giving him a chaste kiss.
"No problem." Eli put his ball down, aimed for the hole and hit the ball. His went close to where Clare's went. Adam and Fi went right after. Clare tried doing it by herself, she didn't get it but she was close.
They went another round and Clare was the last one, still trying to hit it in after several tries. Eli went to help her again.
"Seriously dude?" Adam questioned.
"Do you want to move on or not? Just let me help her." He helped Clare and she made it. Clare always went first and this time she sat down letting Fiona go first.
"Are you okay?" Eli asked.
She shook her head, "I suck and I'm making the game not fun for you guys."
"No you're not and you just need practice."
"I only get it when you help me, I can't do it by myself. I don't have to do it the rest of the game."
"Clare please just keep doing it. You're not going to get better if you don't try."
She sighed and nodded and it was her go.
"Keep your hands together. "Eli directed from afar not wanting to intrude again.
"Don't hit it that hard." He said. She followed Eli's directions and softly but not too gently hit the ball. She bit her lip as she saw the ball going closer to the hole and for the first time she got a hole in one.
"Yes." She yelled and gave Eli a hug and hi fived Fiona. She was about to give a hi-5 to Adam when she saw him glaring, "Uhm did I do something wrong?"
"Nope, nothing at all." He responded sarcastically.
She looked at him weirdly but they continued to move on.
"What did I do to him?" She asked Eli.
"Nothing, he's just competitive so he probably doesn't want you to catch up."
"Oh." She bluntly responded. They soon finished with Eli being number one, Fiona, Clare then Adam. Adam was fairly good at golf but Fiona and Eli were better and because Eli was helping Clare, she got a higher score. They were making their way to a restaurant now. Eli was in front talking to Fiona making Clare the third wheel so she went to Adam.
"Hey." She said and he weakly smiled.
"Uhm did I do something wrong?"
"Its fine, I'm just competitive and it was annoying me Eli kept helping you."
"Why? I didn't know how to play and he was teaching me."
"I know but you could have done it on your own like the rest of us. He always has to come to your rescue."
"Well sorry I didn't know to play." She said not really sorry considering she didn't have a reason to be.
"Its fine, I'm sorry for being such a saw loser. It's fine." He weakly smiled.
"You're not mad at me right?" He shook his head and they soon arrived at the restaurant.
They sat in a booth, both couples on either side. Adam ordered chicken parm, Fiona ordered a salad and potato skins with cheese. Eli ordered Jack Daniels' chicken and Clare ordered chicken alfredo.
"What time do we have to leave tomorrow?" Fiona asked.
"We have to check out at 12." She nodded and they continued to make small talk until the waiter brought them their food. They said their thank yous' and dug in.
"What's that?" Clare asked questioning the sauce for Eli's food.
"Jack Daniels sauce."
"Like alcohol?"
He nodded in response. "You want some?"
She quickly shook her head.
"It's only a little bit in it. Taste it." Eli dipped a piece of the chicken in it and put it her mouth.
"You like it?" He questioned and she nodded, "You want some?" She asked referring to her pasta and he nodded. She twirled it around the fork and fed him. Half of the noodles were out of his mouth as he was trying to put it back in. Clare laughed and took the other half of the noodles in her mouth leading them into a spaghetti like kiss. Fiona and Adam were in the background making gagging and vomit noises.
Clare pulled back and playfully glared at them.
"Let me taste the sauce." Adam said to Eli. He took a piece of chicken, holding his fork out to Adam.
"You're gonna feed me too?" Adam questioned with a laugh before taking the chicken in his mouth, the sauce spilling on his chin and Fi was quick to lick it off. Eli and Clare made gagging noises in response as well. About 45 minutes later, they soon finished their dinner and were quick to head back to the hotel.
"Had fun?" Eli questioned as they both made their way under the blanket.
"I did, did you?"
"Yup especially this morning." She blushed knowing he was talking about her method to get rid of the pain in his erection.
"Yeah, let's not talk about that."
"I actually think I should brag to the whole world that Clare Edwards finally touched a penis."
"Eli!" She said squealing, slapping his arm.
"CLARE EDWARDS TOUCHED A PENIS." He yelled. She grabbed the pillow and stuffed it on his face climbing on top of to hold it there. He finally managed to get it off, "Don't you want the whole world to know about your accomplishment?" He laughed.
"I'd rather not." He smiled and she lay in his chest still on top of him. She looked up to him, her chin on his chest, "I love you."
"I love you too." Eli stuck out his puckered lips. Clare leaned in, sucked his lip and pulled back, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." He wrapped his arm around her as they fell asleep in each other's arms.
