I adore Peddie and I had to write this. It can stay as it is or I can continue it if you'd like.
I was pacing the floor of my room as I tried to figure out how I was going to get my voice back. I wanted to go find Eddie and explain everything to him but that was sort of impossible right now. Just as I thought this there was a knock on my door. I sighed when Eddie walked in with a very serious look gracing his face.
"This is my last attempt, Patricia. Okay, I've apologized for not telling you about the secret, I told you I like you, which, you know, was not easy for me. And I do genuinely believe that deep down you like me too," he said, trying his best to not stumble over his words.
I don't think I'd ever wanted to talk as much as I did in that very moment. I wanted to tell him that I really liked him too and that I wanted to be with him. Tell him that I was only a bitch to him because I really didn't know how to handle these feelings. I wanted to tell him that I accepted his apology and I wasn't mad at him anymore but the damn curse was making that impossible.
"C'mon, you're killing me! What do I have to do to get a reaction?" he said, I could see that he was growing restless with my lack of responses and I knew I had to act quickly.
I took him by the back of his neck and pressed my lips to his. I felt his lips moving against mine lightly as if this was completely normal for us. I wanted to stay like this forever but I needed to see his response to the kiss so I pulled back.
"That'll work," he said, a full blown smile finding its way onto his lips. The lips that I needed to feel back on mine.
I had just pulled him back to me when Joy burst into the room, "Whoa! Hello; walking in here!"
We broke apart quickly but I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. I had just kissed Eddie and it was the most amazing kiss I'd ever had. I felt all of the sparks and the fireworks that you were supposed to feel except I'm pretty sure they were a lot stronger.
Eddie sighed before saying, "Good timing, Joy."
She had her fingers over her eyes but she was peeking out when she giggled, "Correct. You do know she's contagious?"
I started pointing to my throat when she said that and I saw the look of recognition cross Eddie's face. "That's why you haven't been talking to me?"
I nodded quickly and tried to talk only to remember that that wasn't possible. It didn't really matter because he just laughed and pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist and inhaled his scent; that was something I promised myself I would never do. Yet here he was making me do things that I never thought I would so why not just let myself go?
I heard the door click shut as Joy quietly made her way back out of the room. I smirked a little bit before pulling him back down to me. This kiss was different; it was charged and electric. If I could describe Eddie and my relationship in an action this would be it.
He dug his fingers into my hips as he traced his tongue along my bottom lip. I let out a little groan that I knew was pointless as I opened my mouth slightly. His tongue pushed against mine and I felt my knees go a little bit weak. I guess Eddie felt it because he pulled back from me and laid his forehead on mine.
"I really wish you could talk right now. I'm dying to know what you're thinking about," he whispered, rubbing my lower back absentmindedly.
I nodded and felt tears pricking the back of my eyes as I thought about everything I wanted to tell him. It wasn't fair that I had to lose my voice right now when I needed it the most. Eddie didn't leave me much time to think before he pulled me back to him and planted his lips on mine. I groaned again when our tongues touched even though I knew it was completely pointless. I heard him let out a groan that had my heat spiking up to dangerous temperatures.
He backed me up until my back hit a wall. He slid one of his hands down my waist and pulled my leg up to his waist. He held it there while he broke off of my mouth to kiss his way down my neck. I felt him bite at my collarbone and I tugged roughly on his hair.
"Patricia, we were wondering if you wanted to have a Sibuna meeting to talk about…" Nina trailed off as she took in our position. Her expression matched Joy's when she walked in earlier, "Or you could already be having a meeting of your own in here with Eddie."
Eddie broke apart from me and slammed his hands onto the wall behind us. He growled out, "Why do we keep getting interrupted?" I couldn't deny the shiver that went through my body at the gruffness in his voice. I had a soft spot for a bad boy and Eddie fit that description way too well.
"We're going to go try and figure some things out but if you'd rather stay here with Eddie…. That's just fine," Amber said; I could hear her bones cracking from where I was.
I pushed Eddie away and walked with the others down to the cellar. Eventually we made it to the room where the horns were located. I watched as Nina blew into one of them causing a crack to start forming in the ceiling.
After the terrible sound stopped Alfie whined, "That was a bad noise! Don't make it again; I don't want to hear it again. I want to go back upstairs where there's light and it's not scary. I want-"
"Alfie, shut up! This is really not what we need right now!" Amber shouted, flipping her hair over her shoulder and popping joints the entire way. When she saw his wounded face she softened and said, "I'm sorry, sweets, but you're getting a little bit on the annoying side."
He mumbled incoherently under his breath as Fabian and Nina tried to figure out what they were going to do. I got distracted by thoughts of Eddie but they were completely broken when another horn was blown and another sickening crack was heard.
"So far the only thing we've done is break the house and possible cause it to cave in. I think we need to break up and reconvene in the morning," Fabian said, looking at Nina for support.
"I think Fabian's right about that. Let's go back to our rooms and get some sleep. Tomorrow's Saturday so we'll have all day to try and figure this out," she said, shaking her head confidently.
Once we were back upstairs Joy decided to corner me and badger me with questions. "What did I interrupt between you and Eddie earlier today? When did I miss you two getting together?"
I just shook my head and tried to burrow deeper into my comforter to escape her instant chatter. She was relentless with it but eventually I fell asleep.
Worth a continuation?
