I woke the next morning with Eli laying next to me. I tried to search my brain trying to figure out if I regret what happened the night before, but I didn't. I didn't regret a single moment of it. It was perfect and I don't think that anything could ever change that. I slowly turned over trying not to wake up eli. I slowly removed the blanket, crawled out of bed, and made my way to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't look any different. I grabbed a towel and turned on the shower. I usually jump into the shower and grab my bottle of shampoo but this time I just stood there and let the water run down my body. I may not look different but I sure felt different .

It must have been a good fifteen minutes of just standing there before I realized that I needed to wash my hair and body. I reached over and grabbed the shampoo just as the bathroom door opened.

"Clare bear. How much longer till you get out of the shower?" I heard Eli say as he closed the door behind him.

"maybe 10 or 15 minutes." I said as I peaked my head out of the shower.

"well I need to take a shower." He said sitting on the counter

"if you want you can just join me." I said as I pulled my head back into the shower. Is that even a normal thing for us to be doing? I know that we had sex but showering together? Is that going to far?

"alright. let me just grab a towel." He said as he opened the cabinet and pulled out a towel

he took off his boxers and stepped into the shower. He looked so good without a shirt on and even better with nothing on. He has such a cute butt too. I must have giggled when I thought that because eli asked me what was so funny.

"oh nothing. Just thinking about how cute of a butt you have" I said as I opened my shampoo bottle

"your butt isn't half bad either." He said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I would give anything to just say like this forever. Our naked bodies touching with the water running down us. Just each other in a warm embrace.

We finished our shower and both got out. We both ran back into my room and got dressed. Eli put on the same clothes he had on last night and I slipped on a summer dress. We both dried our hair and decided to get some breakfast. It was about 11:00 by then and I knew my mom wouldn't be home till dinner time. I went downstairs and made us both some pancakes. I called eli down when the food was ready. He came down and sat at the table.

"clare, do you…regret anything that happened last night?" he said with a shaky voice

"I don't regret a single moment of it. Not a moment." I said as I grabbed his hand

We finished breakfast and I washed the dishes. We sat on the couch and watched television. Eli watched but all I could do was think. I sat there looking down at my purity ring thinking. I really liked everything that happened last night. I reached down and took off the ring and without saying a word put it in eli's open hand and kissed him.

So this is NOT the last chapter. Sorry it took me so long to update. New chapter soon.
