Eli's POV
Its been ten minutes since I sent Clare my text and nothing back.
"Eli what's wrong?" Beside the obvious I miss Clare, But they wouldn't know...They are my best friends,I can tell them anything. Imogen asks. Then I get a text. I smile.
"Nothing." I say and check my phone...then my smile falls and my body heats up.
Hey Eli baby. You doing anything tonight? -Tina GOD DAMN IT! THAT...AHHHHH
I want to throw my phone to get this angry to punch something or worse someone. Done with that...and if I do Adam,Fiona and Imogen with freak out. I just setting myself up for a trip to the therapist I gently put my phone down and grab a drink.
"Eli whats wrong?!" Imogen asks again but this time with more anger. I glance up at her and she is dead serious.I gulp.
"I like her OK ! I texted her and she hasn't texted back. I know we just met but the way she made me feel when she came into the room in seconds she got a hold of me." I say forgetting that I'm not alone. Imogen,Adam and Fiona just look and me and do what best friends do. They gather and demand who is this "bitch" in their words.
"Who?" Adam asks angrily
"Hurting our ." Imogen shouts.
"Name Eli!" Fiona says in a stern voice.
I get why they would worry. They don't want a repeat of last time.
"Clare." I say, Adam's angry fades quickly.
"So you do like her." Fiona says with a smirk.
"Yes, I thought she texted back. It was Tina." I tell them
"Tina? That crazy chick that wont leave you alone?" Adam says
"We have missed so much." Fiona says They sit me down and I tell them everything. How we met at the bar and how we did the deed.
" When I woke up the next morning she left a note saying 'Last night was a mistake'. . I like her a lot and she doesn't seem to notice." I say while looking them in the eyes
"Wow. She dose have you and a tight grip she has, Eli relax breath." Imogen says, I did holding my breath.
"Dude. She is out with Ali. They are having a girls night. Maybe she left for phone at home or something." Adam says trying to calm me down. I let out my breath. Much better.
"See, You are flipping out for nothing." Fiona says
She's right.
Clare's POV
My stomach is killing me. Ben is so funny. After our first drink Ali called him over and we just started talking.
" I think its time to go Ali." I say
"Awe but come on Clare just a little bit longer." She whines
"I have work tomorrow and if you want me to sleepover I have to get me stuff from my apartment.
"Fine." She says stomping her foot
"Well Ben its been fun. Come on Ali." I say
"I need to pee." She says running off to the restroom. I giggle and wait for her.
"So what did you majoring in?" Ben asks.
"English and Journalism." I answer and Ali comes back.
"Come back soon." Ben says
"Bye Ben. Nice meeting you." Ali says and starts to walk.
"Bye Ben." I smile and he holds out his hand to me. I shake it and then he walks away. I feel something in me hand and look. Its a piece of paper with his number. I look up at him. He smiles and walks to the back. I walk out and Ali was waiting.
"Ready?" She asks
"Uhh..Yea. Lets go to my house so I can get my stuff." I tell her. I don't want to tell her about Ben giving me his number. She'll just make a big deal about it. I check my purse to check if I had my keys. Shit. Left my keys and my phone.
