Chapter Nineteen- xoxo
"So you really gave him your letters" Kai said through the phone.
"Yeah, I needed to stop writing at some point" she shrugged.
"Hey, exams are over in three weeks so. How about when I'm done I come back home for a while?" He asked.
"For how long?" She asked with excitement.
"A year?" He asked and Claire smiled.
"You can do that? Won't you lose your scholarship?" She asked.
"That's the best part about the scholarship" he chuckled.
"Yeah well, I have to get back to studying. Call you later" Kai said and they said there goodbyes.
"Hey" Eliot Archibald said and he went on the bed.
"Hey" she smiled back.
"I think I should have my own key" he said making her eyes go wide.
"What? Why would you want that? We go everywhere together" she told him.
"I have to throw rocks at the window when my lacrosse practice is over" he chuckled.
"That's our thing" She smiled at him.
"Just because you said so" he said leaning in and she leaned back causing him to lay on top of her.
"One day" he said laughing.
"That day will be marked on your calendar wouldn't it?" She asked he simply nodded with a smile.
"I'll tell the world" he told her.
"Oh my god..." she said realizing.
"What?"
"I love you" Eliot Archibald said admiring her.
"I love you too... bro" she joked slightly punching him in the shoulder
"Ouch, that hurt" he chuckled.
"But don't you think... love is a little much about how you feel about me?" She asked.
"No. No I don't. Claire Valentine I'm in love with you. I know it's short but I know. I know you hate it when you smile because you hate how your eyes wrinkle. I know the reason why you go to Jems because they are like family and they fill that part inside of you. I know you hate being lonely but you are used to it. I know you hate loving people because you're scared of them leaving. I know you hate admitting you're feelings, because you think that makes you weak".
Claire was mesmerized by Eliot Archibald right now. She never knew he played this much attention to him. She swooned over him so many times she thought it was just a moment. But that's what she didn't think right now. Right now she was in love with him. Not in the way friends do. She was in love with him like how he was in love with her.
"I'm in love with you, Claire Valentine" He smiled at her.
"I love you" Claire responded with a smile.
"That was a different kind of 'I love you' , wasn't it?" He asked with a bright smile. She just stared at him and her phone rang.
"Oh look, it's Scott" she rushed out the room.
"I owe you big time" she told him.
"Fine with that, hey, can we stay at your house" he mumbled. The pain in his voice. Something was wrong.
"Of course, what happened?" She asked.
"Can you open your door?" He asked and she rushed downstairs and saw the twins holding duffel bags.
They're eyes were red and Scott clenching his jaw. Spencer tighten his grip on the bag.
Claire moved out of the way so they can come in.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Spencer finally told our parents. They threw a glass plate at him. Luckily I grabbed him before it hit" Scott told her.
"Oh my god. Well, since Archibald basically sleeps in my room now you guys can have the guest room. And I'm sure Kai won't mind you staying there Spence" Claire told them.
"Hey" Eliot Archibald said walking downstairs.
"Hey, you guys kissed yet?" Scott asked.
Spencer bursted out in tears.
"Spence" Claire said but Scott was the first to hug his brother.
"Uhm, Kai extra key is in his pillowcase. You guys can get settled in we'll give you guys some space" Claire said and they walked out the door.
"So they really kicked them out?" Eliot Archibald asked as he ate his fries.
"Yeah. That's just sick. God and I encouraged Spencer to tell his parents" Claire said shaking her head.
"Hey, it's not your fault. You were just being a good friend" he asked rubbings her shoulder.
"Dose your mom know where you are?" She asked him.
"She thinks I'm staying at Luke's. Not that she cares. She hasn't even bothered to check up on me" He mumbled.
"At this point we're just playing house" she chuckled.
"I'm your husband then" he smiled at her.
"No" she shook her head.
"If we are playing house then I'm your husband" He explained.
"I don't have a ring so" she shrugged.
"So blueberry?" He asked.
"You said when we went on that date it was going to be blueberry" she chuckled.
"So that means you're gonna kiss me?" He smirked.
She stayed quiet.
"I just made you speechless" He told her.
"No you didn't. It's just..."
"Uh-huh. I made you speechless" he nodded.
"I think we've gave them enough space. We should head back" she said and got out of the booth.
"You're evil" he said getting up.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah".
"I always walk you to your door" Eliot Archibald said as they arrived.
"Our. Our door" Claire corrected him.
"So we really are playing house" he chuckled.
"Not unless you buy me a ring" she lifted up her left hand.
"About that" he said and took out a wrapper.
He bent down on one knee.
"Eliot Archibald if you don't get up right now" Claire told him.
"Claire Valentine... I love you. And I love playing house" he chuckled. "I know I'm a pain in your ass but. Will you let me be your husband with this blueberry ring pop" he showed.
"Yes you dumb ass" she chuckled and he slipped on the ring. He got up and hugged her. She licked the ring pop.
"Kiss me"
"what?" He chuckled.
"I said kiss me Archibald" she said with excitement.
He smiled before kissing her.
"It's about time!" Scott yelled from inside the house.
"I'm the flower boy!" Spencer yelled. They both smiled as they kissed each other.
Scott called Vereena.
"Get your ass over here! It happened!" Vereena rushed out her house and saw them kissing.
"You guys owe me a 20!" She yelled and quickly crossed the street.
Carter was walking down the street, books of his own writing to Claire. He looked up and saw them. He turned back around.
"I KISSED HER!"
