Hello again guys! It's been ages since I've posted something!
Okay so here is my first Eddi and Luc (or 'Leddi' as they are known) story set sometime after the episode, "Long Way Down".
Personally I think the BBC have ruined it for the two of them now. After the episode of pure Leddi cuteness they went and ruined it by making Luc and his cravan disappear! Poor Eddi standing on her own!
Anyway, I have set myself a task for this summer. Throughout the seven weeks, I have to work on and produce a 'Leddi' story. This will take up a lot of my time and since I'm not going away anywhere on holiday it shall be easy (hopefully). I will try to produce two chapters a week but I can't promise as my school teachers think it is funny to give me mountains of homework and summer reading over the holidays! Hopefully a proper storyline will come into my head sometime soon and it will make it easier for me to write!
Anyway, here is the first chapter and I hope you guys enjoy!
Eddi
Treading through the puddles of rainwater on the gravel, Eddi's light blue converse trainers squeaked with every slow step she took. The weather, for the past days had been somewhat miserable and grey. Kicking up some of the water with her feet, Eddi let a small smile creep up on her tired and drained face, letting her childish nature shine through her normal tough exterior. She hadn't been feeling great over the past few weeks. She simply just put it down to stress and the overflowing paperwork and difficult patients she had faced at work.
Something about Eddi's behaviour had been different in the recent weeks. Even her colleagues had noticed that something wasn't quite right with her. The real reason behind it, was him. Luc. Eddi recollected that when she realised that his campervan had vanished without trace, she was heartbroken. She really thought the two of them were getting somewhere with their relationship. The whole situation with going to IKEA to buy furniture and going on dates, had really started to please her. This would never happen now, she thought to herself for a moment. She removed her brown satchel off her shoulders and took out an orange book. The Corey Eagles book that Luc had given her the week before.
She had never quite gotten to grips with his remarkable nature. He was the type of person who you could either love, or hate. She loved him. She didn't have to make much of an effort with Luc. Eddi didn't like to admit it to people, but she really had fallen for Mr Hemmingway. Eddi thought he had felt the same, but that night, exactly a week ago, had changed her mind completely.
Eddi McKee never really considered herself a romantic, given her feisty nature and the way she dealt with people. The whole prospect of a relationship had made her nervous. Her last relationship had ended in disaster and she vowed she would never trust anyone again. That was, until Luc came about. The first time they met, she despised him. They argued, and squabbled, more often than not. Until that night she ended up drunk and on top of his caravan, she saw something different in him. A more caring side, even if her thoughts were clouded heavily with alcohol. She had never expected that the two of them would hit it off, but they did. And she loved it.
Something caught her eye, wedged into the back of the book was a piece of paper. Once she had removed it, she unfolded it and noticed that there was a message written inside it."Eddi, I'm sorry I couldn't stay to wait for you after shift, I had some things to do elsewhere, see you soon, Luc x"
Eddi let out a sigh and tightly squeezed the piece of paper into a tight ball in her hand and forcefully chucked it in any random direction. She couldn't do this, she had given him so many chances to prove himself. As she began the long walk home, she put up the hood to her jacket and dug her hands deep into her pockets. The rain had started to fall from the dull grey clouds up above once again. Sighing to herself, Eddi picked up the pace and started to jog in the direction of her flat.
Luc
He had been waiting there, in Eddi's tiny flat all day for her to return. His Eddi. She was the woman he had fallen madly in love with. He too didn't like to admit his feelings in front of people but he really did love her. He was glad she felt like she could trust him enough to give him her spare key to her flat. He felt special. Luc had thought nothing of it when he had left with his caravan that day two weeks previous. He thought that if he had given her a note explaining himself, Eddi would be okay with it.
He gulped slightly when the sudden realisation hit him. He hadn't text, or called her. Wrong move. He'd lost her now, he thought to himself as he sat on the edge of her comfy double bed. He hung his head in shame as he covered his face with his hands. What an idiot. This strong feisty woman was his world. He had never expected to fall in love with anyone, let alone Eddi. There was something about her that was different and he loved her more than anything. He was finally coming out of his shell, all because she brought out the best in him.
Suddenly the door to Eddi's flat flung open. She was home, he knew it. Slowly but surely, he stood up, trying not to make any noises. He stood there, with his hands in his pockets until she made her way to the bedroom.
Eddi
As Eddi closed and locked her front door to her cosy flat, her senses were instantly hit with a familiar scent. His scent. She could smell his sweet aftershave that he wore. With every tender moment she had shared with Luc, she had always taken in his scent of aftershave. She had grown to love it. Eddi slowly pulled off her soaking wet jumper and hung it up. She frowned when she spotted an unfamiliar jacket which was out of place. A men's brown jacket which looked far too big to be Liam's or hers for that matter. She took it off the jacket hooks and made her way into the living room. Everything seemed to be in place, apart from the fact that the kitchen light was switched on. Chucking the jacket down onto the she swiftly padded her way over to the small room and switched off the light. Darkness engulfed the room.
Luc
He could hear her rummaging about in the living room and kitchen, hoping that she would soon retreat to her bedroom and find him there, so he could explain himself.
"Shit" He muttered to himself as she closed his eyes. He had left his jacket up on the hooks. A dead giveaway that he was there in the flat. He nervously twiddled his fingers and ran his hand through his dark hair as he waited.
He had never felt like her could be able to settle down or even think about having a partner. When he started working at Holby, he thought that it would just be a quick six month contract so he could up and leave for another place. Eddi had changed that. Even though he had committed relationship suicide with not contacting Eddi for the past few weeks, he hoped she could understand why he had left in such short notice.
Eddi
After quenching her thirst with a glass of water, Eddi made her way into her bedroom. Slowly opening the tall oak door she looked ahead of her and almost fainted at the sight. Luc was standing there in front of her. Was she dreaming? Was he actually there? As her eyes widened slightly, Eddi let out a scowl.
"Luc what the hell are you doing here?" She asked in disbelief as she pointed in the direction of the living room. "Get out Luc!" She raised her voice as she shook her head in disgust.
Thank you very much for reading this! Hopefully the next chapter should be up sometime this week! Until next time Megan x
