Sorry for the late update, guys! This whole week as been a little hectic for me. I've also been hit with a serious case of writer's block! If you guys have any requests, they might help.

Anyways, this is, in short, my thoughts on last Friday night's episode: Adam and Fiona FTW, Jenna is annoying, Sav is too nice, Holly J. still should not be dating Sav, and Wesley is super awesome! And who absolutely adored the subtle Eclare action? I know I did!

Anyways, I can't wait for the finale! Whoot! Also, I made a twitter! If you want to follow me, I'll put my screen name in my profile and at the end of this chapter. Should I make a tumblr? Also, I'll follow you on twitter if you ask nicely!

Enjoy!

There's only one thing
To Do
Three words
for you
I love you

"I…I l-lo…l-love…"

"Ugh, just spit it out!"

"I can't! I'm too nervous!"

"Why? He's not even here!"

"B-But, I'm picturing that he is and I…I just can't say it, alright?"

"No, not alright! Stop being such a sissy and just say it."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Clare!"

"Adam!"

A harsh stare down followed by a long, dramatic sigh. Adam ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. It was so simple! If you had something to say, then you should say it. But, unfortunately, Clare couldn't muster up the courage to say what she wanted to say.

"Just, try again." Adam offered a small smile. Clare shook her head stubbornly. Adam rolled his eyes and placed both hands on her shoulders. "Clare, you love Eli, right?" Her cheeks heated up at hearing the confession so openly, but she nodded.

"Good. And, trust me when I say that he loves you, too. So just take a deep breath and say it." Slowly, Clare nodded. She turned to the full length mirror in her bedroom and inhaled deeply.

"I love you."

"Love you, too, sweetie, but Eli is waiting for you downstairs." Clare let out a sigh as her mother entered room with a basket full of fresh laundry. Adam chuckled and followed closely behind while Clare stomped down the stairs.

Her heart leapt as she saw Eli standing by the front door nonchalantly. His eyes met hers and she smiled brightly.

He gathered her in his arms and kissed her sweetly. When he set her down, he bumped his fist to Adam's.

"Hmm, my girlfriend and my best friend? In the same house? I smell a conspiracy." Clare chuckled nervously and looked down at her shoes. Adam chuckled and shook his head.

"You'll find out soon enough, Eli. Bye, Clare." Eli and Clare watched Adam disappear behind the front door. Eli wiggled his eyebrows when she returned her gaze towards him.

"So, uhh, what are you doing here?" She asked, leading him to the couch. The two sat side by side.

"I came to bring you your edited English homework, but now I have the feeling you're keeping something from me." He leaned in closer, a small smirk playing at his lips. "Care to share?" She shook her head.

"I-It's nothing." Seeing that he wasn't about to drop it, she decided to change the subject. "Well, since you're here, why don't we watch a movie?"

An hour later, Clare's mother had left; promising to be back in a few hours while Clare and Eli settled down on the couch and watched what Eli would later refer to as 'some sappy chick flick.'

During one particularly romantic scene towards the end, Clare contemplating telling Eli how she really felt. Would he feel the same? Would he be scared off? Doubt filled every inch of her body. Taking a deep breath, she decided to tell him.

"Eli, I love you!" She blurted, shutting her eyes tightly. After a few seconds of complete, nerve-wracking silence, Clare dared to open her eyes. "Eli?" She called tentatively, turning around slowly. She scowled as she realized the reasoning for his silence. With his head sagging to the side, Eli had fallen asleep.

Clare grabbed the remote and flipped off the television. She stood up and draped the blanket that rested on her couch over Eli. She wanted to stay mad, but his sweet, sleeping face prevented her from staying angry. Leaning down, she pressed her lips to his forehead and started to walk away.

"Clare?" She stopped suddenly and turned around. He had one eye open and he was grinning at her. "I love you, too."

A blush spread across her cheeks as she smiled brightly. She giggled madly as she pounced on his reclined figure, kissing him chastely.

Hit? Miss? Love? Hate? Review?

Sorry it's so short! I love me some mindless fluff. Also, I used the lyrics from 1, 2, 3, 4 by Plain White T's. It's so cute! Also, here's my twitter: www (dot) twitter (dot) com/SundaexSurprise
