Yeah, that's right. I posted twice in one day! LOL, I was in a loving mood. Yeah, a new cell phone and some glazed doughnuts will do that to me.
Enjoy!
Oh God.
Car wash girl really existed. And she was flirting with Eli.
Well, she couldn't be considered car wash girl, since they weren't at a car wash. Eli was leaning against Morty's hood, looking bored while this random chick rambled. I smiled. I knew Eli wasn't about to go flirting with other girls, like K.C. had done, but I didn't like this girl.
I noticed the slight push of her chest, they way she tilted her head, the way she touched his arm. A flirt, indeed. Though, she couldn't beat Alli, who was queen of the art of flirtation.
Anger surged through me, fresh and alive. I approached them slowly. I wondered what Alli would do in this moment. I frowned, knowing exactly what she would do. In the scenario: she would throw herself at Drew, kissing him. Then, she would turn to the girl; acting like she hadn't been watching the two of them talk. She would push herself against Drew and make up some excuse to separate Drew and this hypothetical girl. That, or she would tackle her, though I wasn't about to assume the latter.
As soon as Eli turned his head and saw me, he smiled softly. The girl turned too, to see what had caught his attention. She flashed a brief smile, fake yet sweet.
"Hello, Eli." I greeted, standing stiffly. He placed his hand on my back and kissed my forehead.
"Hey, Clare. I was wondering when you'd show." I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from laughing. His sentence sounded relieved, like my showing up was some sort of gift from heaven. This soothed me slightly.
"Who's this?" The girl asked, tilting her head and looking at Eli. "Your sister?"
Okay, now, this girl was getting on my nerves. I didn't even look remotely like Eli. Before Eli could say anything, I spoke up.
"Actually, I'm his girlfriend. Who're you?" Her face fell and she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came up. Instead of giving her time to form a sentence, I grasped Eli's wrist and dragged him away.
"Are you okay?" He asked as we slowed to a stop.
"Fine." I lied, smiling. He chuckled and started to massage me tense shoulders. "You know, it's kind of cute to see you jealous." I snorted.
"I wasn't jealous." I defended quickly, but he knew that was an utter lie. "She was just annoying. Some people can't get the hint. Sometimes, people don't want to be bothered. And, she obviously didn't get the hint. Also, she practically threw herself at you! I mean, sheeesh, can't you have some common sense to see that you weren't interested?" I was starting to ramble out of frustration.
Eli shut me up by pressing his lips against mine. The kiss was sweet and languid, slowly building up to hot and passionate.
I finally pulled away when I thought my lungs would burst from lack of oxygen. Eli smirked at me and kissed my nose. My cheeks flared up.
"If it's any consolation, I told her I was madly in love with someone already." My cheeks lit up. Though Eli and I were close, we seldom said 'I love you' to each other.
"I guess that helps." I muttered, relaxing slightly. His arm had snaked its way around my waist.
"Besides, I don't really like blondes. Or green eyes." He started to leave butterfly kisses all over my jaw. "I much refer reddish brown hair. And I adore blue eyes." My neck grew uncomfortably hot. I wrapped my arms around his torso, burying my face into his chest.
"And, I'm surprised to know that my girlfriend is the jealous-type." I was about to object, before stopping myself.
"Yeah, I guess I am." I mumbled pathetically into his shirt. "And don't you forget it." He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.
"Come on, Edwards. Let's go eat. I'm starving. That is, unless, you think my manliness, good-looks, and charm will make the girls at The Dot faint." He winked at me. I rolled my eyes and detangle myself from him, walking away.
"You know, Clare, one of the seven deadly sins is envy, which can also be viewed as jealousy." He said as he caught up with me.
"Shut up, Eli." I murmured before crashing my lips to his.
Kinda short. This was requested by White Horses Run Free. Hope you liked it! Also, don't worry, good readers. There will be another update tomorrow! Review if a jealous Clare is just as funny as a jealous Eli.
