Chapter 1

It was midnight and as usual Leighton was reading her scripts in order to better memorize her lines. She was alone in the bedroom of her upper east side flat trying to concentrate herself. At a sudden she heard a noise from the kitchen as something had fallen down and crushed in thousand pieces on the ground. She almost fainted for the fear, she took her mobile and she did the first number she could remember and then she run hiding herself in the wardrobe.

Ed was hanging around for the NYC streets after a dinner with some friends.

- Hey Ed what about these roumors about you and Jessica Szhor getting back together?

- Come'on wankers, is none of your business! Ed answered with a grin on his face.

He was really in love with Jess at the beginning of their relationship, but then she ruined everything and, also if he was a gentleman, now he was just taking advantage of a situation that made him feel physically satisfied. Nothing more. But, as a gentleman he didn't use to talk about his "bed relationships".

- She is hot! You're lucky bastard! On screen Leighton off screen Jessica! Why didn't I think about a career in the showbiz? Yell one of his friends.

Ed was going to answer in a proper teasing way but his phone started to ring, he walked away for privacy and then he picked up the phone.

- Hey what's up wanker? why are you calling me at this time?

No response only deep breathes

- Hey wanker come on you're not a pervert! Would you talk to me please?

He could only listen a whispered

- "Ed, please!" nothing more.

He begun to be worried but then he look at the watch

-"Let me guess wanker, is midnight and you're having problem with your lines right? You really are a nerd, aren't you?

And again from the other side of the phone Leighton whispered

- "Ed, please"…silence

- "Are you crying Leigh?"

- "No please come over" finally she was able to speak "I don't know what's happened but I think someone entered into my apartment and now I am so afraid please Ed come over!"

- "What? call the police!"

- "I don't know Ed, I am not able to do anything I'm paralyzed I don't even know why I called you!"

- "Ok, stay calm I'm coming over, I'm nearby don't hang up talk to me I'm coming"

- "Maybe I heard wrong, but I'm still listening noises from my living room, I didn't think about anything I just did the first number I could remember and I came to hide myself in the wardrobe"

While he was running through the streets as fast as he could, trying to reach Leighton's apartment as soon as possible, Ed was listening to everything she was saying.

- "I'm hearing you Leigh, I'm almost arrived I can see your building"

- "I'm so sorry"

- "Here I am, I'm coming".

The porter of Leighton buildings gave him the keys of Leighton's apartments and together they opened the door to find a big pigeon that was trying to find his way out of the flat and making so much damage to Leighton's furniture that she would be really pissed off! Ed made a nod to the porter who went back to his place closing the door behind him and then he went immediately in Leighton's bedroom to save her from the imaginary killer.

- "Leigh! Come out! I'm Ed!"

She came out in a sudden hugging him without saying a word, she was shivering. He hugged her back and she seemed to him so little and undefended as never. He had never thought at Leighton in that way, she always seem to be very strong. He pushed her away and looked at her eyes full of tears that he wiped away with care. Then he couldn't resist to the temptation to make fun of her.

- "I know, I know don't worry I will defend you my princess, I will always defend you form these bad, bad pigeons!" and he couldn't help but laugh.

She stared at him raising an eyebrow without understanding what he was talking about, but then she realized and pushed him away. She started to punch him on his harms.

- "you wanker, why didn't' you tell me first! It's not funny!, I almost fainted you know"

- "you're welcome princess, it's not a problem for me running for some miles to save you! Anytime you want!"

She stopped to punch him and then she smiled, in a smile that only Ed was able to trigger in her. She started to laugh her head off. Ed was looking at her smiling because of her tiny figure without breath on the bed and he thought that she was really beautiful in her big sweater, tight-fitting shorts, horse tail and glasses. He'd always thought that she was even more beautiful when she wasn't made-up.

- "I'm sooo sorry Ed" she said while she was laughing "now you can say to everybody that I'm a real crazy. Oh my God I'm such a looser, what I was thinking about!"

He looked at her in astonishment she was so funny. He started laughing as well.

- "Leigh you know I will surely do that if I have your permission! Tomorrow everybody will know how weirdo you are!"

- "O my God I cant' stop laughing! Leighotn Meester rescued by his co-star from a pigeon!"

Her laugh was so contagious that Ed finally lay down in the bad next to her without breath too. They laughed for a while then the silence came down and they stared at the ceiling without saying a word.

Leighton was thinking that she felt so comfortable with Ed on her side and that she had almost forgotten what was living with someone else, she also was thinking that she had to be looking so foolish to Ed's eyes.

Ed wasn't thinking at all, he was only living that wonderful moment. He was so relaxed, he felt so well near to her. He made a little move to adjust himself and he grazed Leighton's hand by mistake, he felt her jump. He didn't pull back his hand but instead he started caressing her and he was surprised both by the feeling he was having in touching her soft skin and also by Leighton's reaction to that. She wasn't stopping him, why? When the off-screen intimacy between them became too strong, Leighton used to step out from the situation in a very fast way. Now she wasn't.

Leighton didn't know what was happening but she was feeling so good and his touch on her skin make her shiver. She always had an interest in him and she also felt that was the same for him. They were really tied because of their character in the show, but she always kept everything professional avoiding right this kind of moments. Also this time she couldn't stop thinking that was a really wrong thing, anyway she wanted him to keep doing whatever he was doing. Suddenly she felt Ed's breath near her ear and she couldn't help but turn her face in order to look him in the eyes. She blushed when she saw his beautiful amber eyes staring at her and leaving her without breath again.

He didn't know why he felt like this, Leighton was one of his best friends. Ok he'd always been attracted by her but he'd always thought was a physical thing. Now staring at her make him feel sick in the stomach. He moved apart a little wisp of her brown curly hair from her face and then he reach her lip to savour her deeply. He gave her a soft kiss on the lips waiting for her reactions. He was still doubtful about her reaction because she didn't want to push far a situation if she wasn't ready.

She was frozen, she couldn't believe what was about to happen, she felt his soft lips on her and she was so surprised by these feelings but she was also worried. She felt that Ed was waiting for her reaction for a sign that the thing could go forward, so for the first, maybe second, time in her life she stop thinking and she just let her passion explode on Ed.

He felt her tongue push against his lips, he opened his mouth in order to let the arousal get bigger. They start to kiss passionately he grabbed her butt and pushed her back to the bed in order to find himself on her. She could feel his hand under his sweater reaching her breast and start to undress her. She started to unbutton Ed's jeans and she could feel his hardness. They were forehead to forehead staring at each others while they were stripping naked.

- "I feel so good" she said

- "Oh...me too Leigh, please don't stop me" Ed said while he was passing his finger down to her bare body reaching her centre and massaging her clit

- "I won't…" she said in a moan.

She was gasping and Ed was so transported in the moment, he was so hard as never and he couldn't stop kissing her body in a very passionate way. He wanted to savour her so he designed a line with his tongue up to her mount and then he stared to lick her clit. She felt the pressure on her and she started moaning higher for pleasure. He felt her increasing arousal ready to explode so he inserted a finger making her scream for pleasure. Then she lengthened an hand to reach Ed's head and caress his hair pushing his head even harder against her vagina. She was coming and he could feel it.

- Oh God Ed…please don't stop! She whispered without breath

He didn't until she came with a squeal. Ed looked up to her in order to admire her satisfaction and then kissed her breast and laid his head on her chest. She was panting but she wanted to plased him back so she pushed Ed back to the bed and started to kiss him with more passion. He was so turned and now then ever as he could feel her delicate touch on his hard penis. He couldn't last long, he knew it. Leighton was able to turn him on in a very fast way. Nobody was able to do that to him. She felt that he was near to the edge of pleasure by his faster breath, but she wanted to do more, she went down to kiss him right on his hard. She felt powerful noticing the reaction that she was causing him. She took his member in her mouth and started to suck him. She felt his breath rise and rise and Ed's body contracted in convulsion. He came few minutes later.

- Leigh! Wow, you really surprised me! You're amazing!

- And this is nothing Ed! She teased

- I want to see more definitely He said hugging her tight

- That was so worth it! I feel that was right you know! She affirmed

- I feel very right right now!

He was feeling so happy but also worried that this could end in the exact time they would have get up from the bed. He didn't want this to end so he strengthened even more the hug. He wouldn't let her go. He started to kiss her softly on her eyes, lips, eras, cheeks he wanted to kiss her everywhere. Leighton couldn't believe how good she was feeling. Then the passion became bigger and bigger and they started to make love to the bit until they fell asleep in each others harms.

The morning after Ed opened his eyes for first. He saw the naked back of Leighton with this soft skin and he couldn't think of anything else but to kiss her. He wasn't able to realize how last night happened. He couldn't explain how he felt about Leighton. They were friends and he, and also her he thought, had never seen each others in a such way. But now, by her side, he felt so happy, so satisfied as he never did before. He was still looking at her when the alarm start to beep loud. Leighton woke up in a sudden and turned it off.

- "Fucking alarm!"

- "I can see you're in a good mood in the morning uh!"

She turned with a surprised face like if she didn't expect to see him in his bed and smiles.

- "I'm so sorry I didn't .. umh.. I wasn't aware that you were, you know..."

- "hey Leigh is ok, don't worry" He told her a with a little of bitterness.

Why she looked so cold he thought. He was afraid that she could rethink the whole night spent together. But then she kissed his harm that was just near her head and he felt relaxed.

- I'm starving! She said getting up from the bed and covering herself with Ed's t-shirt. Let's get up and help me to prepare the breakfast!

- I'm not so good in cooking, let's stay more on the bad! He said slyly

- I really would like, but we have a scene to do today don't' you remember?

- Oh yes! It's that when I'm with you everything disappear!

- You're so cheesy! She laughed pulling Ed out of the bad.

He was still naked so she could see his "good morning" quite well!

- Impressive uh? He teased looking at her

- wanker! She answered

Then he pulled her towards him and started to kiss her neck, her shoulders, her eras.

- You're so sexy with my t-shirt!

She laughed and bit his nipple procuring a leap. At a sudden they listened somebody beating furiously on the door. Ed put his boxer on and run behind Leighton to see what's was happening.

- Leigh! Open the door please! I'm Jess! I'm looking for Ed he didn't came back tonight I'm sooo pissed off! I need to talk to you!

- I'm coming! Give me a minute! Said Leighton staring in disbelief to Ed.
