Hey everyone. Thanks for all the support out there! It really helps. But I have received a question a couple of people have asked me repeatedly.
NONE of the fanfictions are related unless I tell you they are. That means the second fanfic 'Ask Me' had nothing to do with the third fanfic 'Jealousy.' HOWEVER, some fanfics like 'Sweet Dreams are Made of These' may have a part two. And some might make a reference, like in 'An Ally in Alli' made a reference to 'Midnight Visitor.' I hope that cleared things up for you all! So, unless I tell you, none of these one-shots are related.
Ummm, this fanfiction will make a reference to Jealousy and Secrets. ;) Anyways, on with the fanfiction!
"Eli!"
Eli Goldsworthy turned and smiled when he saw Clare Edwards running towards him, a bright smile adorning her face. Eli waited patiently for her to arrive. When she did, he waited for her to catch her breath. He noticed she was carrying a large pink blanket that was bunched up in one arm.
"Eli! Oh my gosh, you have to see what I got!" She exclaimed with an impish smile. He arched a brow at her eagerness.
"What's that?" He asked, jutting his chin at the bundle. She gave him a grin before unwrapping the blanket. Eli was not anticipating what was in the bundle.
"Is that a…?" He stared into the eyes of yet another animal. Clare nodded happily.
"It's a rabbit! His name is Goliath. Isn't he cute?" She asked, thrusting the rabbit forward. The rabbit was white with brown spots covering him. She reached over to rub his floppy ear.
"Extremely." Eli responded sarcastically. But in truth, he really did think it was cute. That rabbit's nose twitched. Eli felt the tips of his ears get hot. This thing was too damn cute.
"What happened to Cain?" Eli asked, leading her over to a bench. She sat down and flipped the rabbit in her arms so he was lying on his back. She got a sad look on her face.
"Mom was allergic. I had to give him away. Luckily, a freshman took him in." Eli smirked. Score board: Eli: 1 Cain: 0. But then she turned to him with a happy smile.
"But my mom bought me this little guy instead. At least she's not allergic." She placed him in his arms.
"C-Clare! W-What are you-" He stuttered.
"You said the other day that you like rabbits, right?" She reasoned. Eli reached over slowly and rubbed the bunny's head. The rabbit responded enthusiastically, butting his head against Eli's palm for more affection. Eli couldn't take it anymore.
Dumping him in Clare's arms, Eli stood up and turned away from her. Clare stared at his back, confused.
"What's wrong, Eli?" She questioned. She wrapped the bunny up in her blanket and set him down on the bench. Placing her hand on her hips, she stood up. She walked around him, but he hid his face from her view.
"Are you...are you blushing?" She asked incredulous.
"No!" He exclaimed defensively. But he wasn't fooling her. She grinned slyly.
"Yes you were!" She countered, poking him with her index finger.
"No, I wasn't!" He replied hotly. She poked him again.
"Admit it! You like that rabbit!" She jabbed another finger at him.
"Yeah, well, who names a small little rabbit like that Goliath?" He challenged. Clare advanced towards him, while he took a step back. The two argued until Eli, realizing she was winning, kissed her.
She was surprised, but quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him forward. He pulled away and grinned at her, but not releasing his hold on her.
"You cheated." She pouted. He gave her a sweet, chaste kiss and shrugged.
"It shut you up, didn't it?" He asked teasingly. She gave him a playful push to which he pulled her tighter against him. Much to his dismay, she pulled away and picked up her bundle.
"Say goodbye, Goliath." She cooed. She pushed the bunny closer to his face. Goliath reached over and pressed his wet nose against Eli. Eli, out of surprise, backed away, his cheeks coloring a pretty pink.
"Aww, he likes you!" Clare giggled, earning a half-hearted glare from Eli.
"I'm going home." Eli grumbled.
"Hey! Eli! Wait up!" Clare raced to catch up with him, while Goliath stared up at his owner curiously.
Seriously cute, neh? Now I wanna a bunny! If you agree, then leave a review!
