Adam's POV
I'm sitting in Fiona's car, alone with Fiona! I love being alone with Fiona! And since she offered me a ride home from school, well how could I refuse. Plus, me getting a ride from her gives Eli and Clare some alone time. That way they can get all their weird mushiness out while I'm not around.
So Big by IYAZ is playing on the radio. Not really my type of music, but Fiona seems to like it. I smile as I watch her mouth the words and tap her fingers on steering wheel. She turns her head to look at me and smiles.
"You can change the station if you want. I know this isn't really your type of song," She says.
"It's fine. I don't mind," I say with a smile. "Hey can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What is it," She asks curiously.
"Uhm. Well I was kind of wondering what "things" you had to take care of the week of Vegas Night," I say putting air quotes around the work things. She looks a little taken back by the question.
"Uh," Is all she says. I wave my hands in the air.
"You know what never mind. It's none of my business. Forget I asked." Fiona bits her lip before saying, "No no it's fine. Uhm. Well when I was living in New York I dated this guy...uh Bobby. And well he uhm...he use to hit me," She stutters slightly. I'm speechless right now. What do I say? Poor Fiona. How could anyone hurt her?
"And I uh had to go back for the uh court case," She says finishing her story.
"Fiona I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have had to go through that. He's an ***," I say comforting her.
"Yeah I know. And thanks, but it's all good because I won the case and he was sentenced to 90 days in jail," She says, a slightly smile appearing on her face.
"Well that's good. I don't know how a guy could do that? It's sick. No one deserves that, "I say disgusted with this 'Bobby' kid. Fiona giggles lightly.
"I would never hurt you like that Fiona." Oh my god, I can't believe I just said that. It's not like we're even dating, not that she even likes me...Oh my god I'm an idiot. I look over at Fiona slowly, to see her smiling at me. She touches my hand lightly.
"I know you wouldn't. But that's because you're one of the good guys," She says. I blush lightly, hoping she doesn't notice.
Suddenly her phone starts vibrating. "Uhm that's probably Holly J. Do you think you can answer it, I don't want to break the law," She says with giggle. I pick the phone up from the cup holder and open it.
Placing my ear to the speaker I say, "Hello."
"Uh, hi. Is Fiona there," Holly J asks confused.
"Uh yeah she's here, but she's a little busy. What's up," I ask. There is a short pause from the other end.
"Oh Adam is that you? You know what just tell Fi to call me later. Ok Bye," She says, hanging up before I can even get a word in.
"Uhm ok then," I say placing the phone back in the cup holder.
"What'd she say," Fiona asks.
"Uhm nothing really. Once she found out it was me so told me just to have you call her later and then she hung up," I tell her confused. Fiona giggles nervously. I kind of seems like she's hiding something. "Uhm maybe she just needed to talk to me about something personal. I'll just call her back after."
"Uh ok," I say. "Hey what are you doing today," She asks.
"Nothing. Why," I ask.
"Do you want to come back to my place and watch a movie or something," She asks with a smile. I gulp and blush a little. Alone with Fiona at her condo? Not that anything would happen, I mean why would it? She doesn't even like me, but still...
"Uhm sure that could be fun," I say returning the smile. This could be interesting.
Eli's POV
I was glad that Adam had gotten a ride home with Fiona. I really wanted some one on one time with Clare. I've missed her so much, since she was at her grandma's all vacation. I'm surprised she's even speaking to me at all, considering what I put her through.
I look over at her. She's staring out the window, lost in some daydream I presume.
"What are you thinking about," I ask. She turns towards me with a smile.
"Just thinking about how much I've missed you," She says intertwining their fingers.
"I've missed you too. Two weeks is too long to be away from you," I say. She blushes lightly. God I love when I make her blush.
"Yeah, my grandma's was kind of boring without all of your sarcastic remarks," She giggles.
"Yeah well what can I say? I guess I grow on you after a while," I grin.
"I guess so," She says biting her lip.
As I park Morty in front of her house, I turn towards her. "You know, we're not in school anymore," I smirk. She gives me a confused look.
"Yeah, and," She asks. "Well I'm just saying, I'm pretty sure that no PDA rule only applies for when we're in school," I say, my smirk growing wider. Clare giggles, leaning in to kiss me. Her lips touch my gently. After a moment she pulls away.
"Call me later," She asks biting her lip.
"But of course," I chuckle lightly. She climbs out of Morty and begins to walk up the front stairs.
"Edwards," I say climbing out of the driver seat. She turns around to see me leaning against the car.
"Yeah," She asks. "What are you doing Friday night," I ask.
"Nothing I know of, why?" She asks suspiciously.
"Well techniqually we haven't had our first date yet," I smirk.
"No no we haven't," She smiles.
"Pick you up at 7," I ask. She nods.
"See ya Goldsworthy," She says turning to continue her walk up the stairs. As I watch her front door close behind her, I climb back into Morty.
Man, what is this girl doing to me?
