Chapter 8
"...So then last night I was so tired of missing him and wanting him that I just let it all happen." Patricia finally finished telling her story to her old friend.
"Woah, that is some serious stuff sweetie. But if you really missed him so much why not just work it out. Sounds like you two used to work great. Do you really not have feelings for that-,"
The redhead interrupted her, "I might have left out something about last night out."
"I know you did honey, wouldn't give me any details whatsoever," Mrs. Pensively winked at her.
"Not about... about that. After... I told him that I loved him."
"And you meant it?" She leaned in close as to not miss a word.
The young Brit swallowed and collected her thoughts. She did love him, she wasn't going to deny it after last night. But she was a little scared to say it out loud. Because once she said it aloud there was no denying it anymore.
"Yeah, yes. I did," she smiled as she said it.
"Then why are you sitting here with this little old lady and not making up with you beau?"
Why was she here? Shit, if she was the one who messed it up this time it was all over.
She got up from the kitchen table and pushed her coffee aside, "Thanks so much for everything ."
While Patricia was almost to the door she heard the lady call after her, "Go get your boy!"
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jerome scoffed at his American friend.
Eddie crumpled a another shirt into his suitcase, "Packing."
"I can see that. Mara come see what Eddie's doing! Where do you think you're going with that?" He said after calling Mara into the room.
Mara came in all smiles till she saw his bags, then her face dropped, "What are you doing?"
He zipped up the suitcase, "Leaving. I'm done making making her miserable. I'm done making myself miserable."
The little brunette smiled and sat on the bed, "You two were always a dramatic couple."
"I think this is more than dramatics this time," Eddie said darkly.
"Oh come on mate," Jerome sighed. "At least stay till she comes home. Then we'll all talk."
He shrugged on his jacket, "Sorry, but I don't think Jerry and Mara counselling can fix it this time."
Suddenly the front door slammed. The three of them just stopped and looked at each other.
"EDDIE?" She nearly screamed.
"I'll go out the window," the American muttered miserably. He grabbed his bag and literally headed for the window.
The redhead stormed in and stopped flat in the doorway. Eddie's back to her, completely frozen.
"Can I talk to Eddie alone?" She said it like a statement more than a question. He heard who he assumed to be Mara and Jerome shuffle out of the room, shutting the door behind them.
No one spoke. No sound at all.
Eddie finally broke the silence, "So what are the terms? No contact and stay as far away from you as possible?" His voice was bitter and mocking. He couldn't bare to look at her. He couldn't bare to see what he would never have.
"What?"
"Isn't that what you want?" It was all he could do to not scream.
"No."
It was Eddie's turn to let out a, "What?" He was so surprised he did turn around to see her.
"I love you."
"What? What the hell Patricia? You just ran out of here and now-,now you love me?" He had this unreadable expression and tone. He stepped forward towards her.
She looked down at her feet, "Well it's not like I stop depending on what room I'm in."
Eddie just looked at her for a minute. Then he dragged his hands down his face and let out a "urgh," sound. Then looked at her again with a smile on his face. "God damnit Yacker. You crazy, hot head, loudmouth, batshit amazing beautiful- I love you."
Then two smiles turned into one running her fingers through Eddie's hair. Eddie's hands on her waist. They were back to where they were supposed to be.
Patricia pulled away just enough to speak, "We still need to talk-,"
"Shut up." Eddie interrupted impatiently with another kiss.
That night
"I'm not letting you get away again." Eddie mumbled over her shoulder.
