Numbers
Side note: Melissa doesn't even exist in this so her and Eddie were never together.
"What's your number?"
"What?"
Rachel fiddled with the corner of the cushion she had resting in her lap, "you know, your number. How many people you've slept with." She ducked her head, looking away from him, "you know mine because of my past and all, so I've been curious for a while."
"Well," he sighed, "Two."
Rachel's head snapped up. "Two!"
Eddie raised an eyebrow, wondering why she sounded so surprised. "Yeah?"
"Two. Only two? Two!"
"Yes!"
"Oh God, what must you think of me. I feel horrible. No offence, but I was expecting it to be a lot more."
Finally, it dawned on Eddie why Rachel was so shocked. "Rachel, listen to me. You did what you did because you didn't think you had another choice. That's not you Rach. This is you." He smiled, tilting his head. "And you are so beautiful. You are smart, funny, confident, sexy and you're stubborn, but without that you wouldn't be the you I know. You couldn't be Rachel Mason without being stubborn."
She chewed on her lip, a frown etched on her face. "But Eddie, two, two people?"
He shrugged, "I've only ever slept with people I've been in love with."
Her breath caught in her throat. "Oh," and then she realised fully what he meant. "Oh."
"Yeah." He said quietly.
"I love you too, you know that right?"
He looked at her with his signature smile and breathed in, as though he were breathing the sight of her. "I do now."
Okay, it was really short and I wasn't too sure how to end it but I hope you liked it!
