First update of the new year and it feels good, I hope I continue the trend of updating regularly this year. I'm not sure how I feel about this piece yet but this plot bunny has been bouncing around in my head for a while so I figured I'd post it. I hope you all enjoy it.

I do not own Degrassi or Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift

I sighed as I walked home. It had been a hard day. Usually I had Eli or Adam to talk to since Ali left but today Eli wasn't at school and Adam was busy with Fiona. I finally understood why he was so mad when he was the third wheel, it really wasn't much fun to see other people kissing and acting all mushy when your other half wasn't there.

When I got to my house I noticed there was no one home. I saw a note taped to the fridge from my dad saying that he was out on business until Monday, so I could either stay home alone or call my mom so she'd come stay with me.

I thought it over and I figured it would be nice to have the house to myself for a little while. I called my mom and told her that I'd be fine home alone. I walked up stairs to my room and crashed on my bed. I was so tired.

I woke up to a storm ragging outside. I got up and went to the window and noticed that there was a car parked outside. When the thunder hit I saw that it was Eli's hearse. I heard someone shuffling downstairs; I rolled my eyes and silently crept downstairs.

I found him messing around in the kitchen, cooking. This was a strange sight. What was stranger though was how at home he looked in the kitchen. His movements were so sure and fluid. Usually he was a little stiff even when he was relaxed. Suddenly a crash brings me out of my thought. I look up to see Eli on the floor.

I can't help the giggle that escapes my lips. He looks up at me and I can't help the delightful shiver that goes through my body every time he looks at me. I walk over to him and help him up. He grins sheepishly before hugging me.

"Eli just because you know where we keep the spare key, doesn't give you the license to break into my house. Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked him when he let go.

"You looked tired and Adam said that you looked like hell at school" he turns off a few things and brings pulls me to him "I figured that you would like to wake up to a nice meal." I smile against his chest as the butterflies in my stomach start to flutter

He pushes me away from him, keeping his hands on my shoulder and looks me strait in the eye. He pushes the hair out of my face "So how do you feel?" he asks me

"A lot better. Why weren't you in school today? I missed you" He pulled me toward the front door.

"Well Clare I had to go to the dentist today. Got my teeth all dolled up for you, want to see?" He gave me a toothy smile and my heart exploded. Eli didn't smile often, usually all I got to see was his smirk, which I loved but there was something about his smile that drove me nuts. I kissed him quickly and he gave me a smaller more honest smile that once again made my heart melt.

"You know Clare there is something I've always wanted to try"

"Really, and whats that?" He opened the door and smirked "Kissing in the rain" I smile at him "You know what, so have I" He laughed and pulled me out on to the sidewalk.

He pulled me close to him and kissed me deeply. I felt him smile against my lips and pull back. "Let's get inside before we get totally drenched." We went back inside.

"Come on lets get out of these cloths and eat, I'm starved." I say to him when we get back. He leads me up the stairs and into my room

"Well you have collected a good bit of my cloths over the months so I assume you have something for me to change into?" he smirked

"No I figured I would let you borrow my rainbow night gown I think it'll go great with you wet hair" I laugh while running my fingers through his hair.

"Ha ha your funny"

"I like to think so"

He pulled me closer and kissed me. I kissed him back automatically opening my mouth when his tongue touched my lips. He began pulling me towards my bed and we fell against it. I moan as he falls on top of me. He pulls away and kisses my neck, sucking on it softly before biting it. He falls next to me on the bed panting lightly.

"Come on, our foods getting cold" He pats my leg and gets up

I shakily get up, finding it hard to focus as I can still feel his lips on my neck. Sometimes my purity ring gets on my nerves, but he is adamant in waiting until I'm 100% ready and not just…..well horny.

We walk downstairs and he turns on the radio and suddenly blares out Taylor Swift

"Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down" Eli smiles turns the lights down. I laugh and kiss him as the song continues on in the background.

Well there is the first story of 2011, I hope you all enjoyed it. Please let me know what you thought. R&R

Happy New Years!
