Eli's POV
After our confessions, I let Clare pick the movie out. I thought she was going to pick Twilight or The Notebook, but for some reason, she picked The Haunting.
" Why did you pick this?" I asked as she sat back down on the couch, into my arms.
" Well I knew that I would be scared and probably end up sitting in your lap and the end of the movie." She smiled
" I'm glad you picked this movie then." I said as I kissed her temple.
The movie ended about an hour and a half later and sure enough, Clare was sitting in my lap. Her head was rested on my shoulder and her arms around my waist, while my fingers ran though her soft curls. We sat like this for what felt like ever, until Clare spoke up.
" So what do you want for Christmas?" She softly asked. That was a pretty random question. I knew it was coming up but never really thought about what I wanted.
" I already have ever thing I could possibly want." I looked at her to see the bright red blush that shot across her cheeks. God she was so cute.
" Really Eli? Theres nothing that you want? Anything?"
" Yes, Clare. I have everything."
" Okay well wether you like it or not, I'm getting you a present."
" You don't have to.."
" Yes I do."
" Okay but I have to get you a present then." I said as I looked down at her.
" Okay but nothing too expensive."
We sat and talked for the next couple of hours about random stuff. I looked at the clock on the wall and it was only 9:30.
" So what do you want to do?" I asked as I turned to face her.
" Hmmm… I don't know…" she said as she pulled my face closer to hers. She pushed me on my back and straddled my waist with her legs. Her hands roamed up and down chest. I could feel her warm breath on my skin.
" How bout we go for a drive?" she whispered against my lips. She pulled our faces apart and smiled.
" You are such a tease." I said as I stood up, grabbed my keys in one hand and Clare's in the other. We both get into Morty and we start driving down the street.
" So where exactly are we going?"
" I don't know, just keep driving." She said with a smile.
We must have drove for about a half an hour until we found a cute little area by a small pond. The entire place was covered in trees and flowers. It looked like no one had been here in a while, the water seemed untouched and the flowers were slightly wilted. We walked over and found a bench by the water's edge. It wasn't cold, but she snuggled against the side of my body, with her hands around my waist. We sat there in silence, I ran my fingers through her hair and she rubbed small circles on my back.
" Eli." Clare whispered.
" Hm?"
" I love you."
" I love you too, Clare. I love you more then anything."
" So what do you love about me?" I knew she felt silly about asking that question, but I would answer it honestly.
" I love your beautiful smile, you soft curls, how smart you are, how you blush when I give you a complement, I love you soft, pink lips. But I really love your bright blue eyes. So what is it that you love about me?"
" Well, I love your sarcasm, I love how you come off as this mysterious, dark guy but you have a sweet side that I absolutely love, I love how you aren't afraid to be yourself, I love how spontaneous you can be, and I love how protective you are when it comes to Adam." She smiled at the last one.
I lifted her chin up so her lips could meet mine. She cupped my face and kissed back with passion. I moved my lips from her lips to her neck and sucked slightly, probably enough to leave a small hickey. She let out a small moan and smirked on her warm skin. She took her hands off my face and pulled me on top of her. I moved my lips back to hers and she playfully pushed her tongue against mine. She moved her hands inside my shirt and ran her hands up and down my back. We were getting carried away.
" Clare… we…. have… to… stop…." I said, panting.
" Fine." She seemed disappointed.
" Don't worry, when we get married, we can go farther." I winked at my girlfriend. She blushed. I love the effect I have on her.
