Chapter 10: Picnic Date Talks.
Eddie Miller had just successfully passed what he thought was a trust test, but for Patricia and the rest of the Sibuna gang he was a Sibuna temp. He was now sat on a picnic blanket in the centre of the Frobisher library, stuffing his face with food on what Patricia described as a starting over date.
"So the Frobisher library" Eddie chuckled. "So why here?" he then asked out of curiosity.
"I thought it would be the only place where we could go during the school week that would confuse you the most" Patricia lied as it was really where she needed him to be to help out Sibuna. "And it looks like I succeeded" she smiled.
"You are always full of surprises" Eddie replied as he shuffled himself closer to Patricia, taking her hands within his grasp.
"Erm, Eddie what are you doing?" Patricia asked nervously as she stared down at her and Eddie's linked hands. She still wasn't used to the whole having a boyfriend thing and even the little gestures like this freaked her out.
"Nothing much, just relax Yacker" Eddie replied trying to calm her down a little as he stroked his thumbs across her hands, making her smile slightly. "So were still alone" he then pointed out.
"Yes we are" Patricia agreed but frowned slightly, wondering what Eddie was getting at.
"And you didn't get the chance to talk mushy earlier" Eddie then finished.
"Ughhh Eddie" Patricia groaned, she hated the thought of talking about her feelings.
"Oh come on please" Eddie begged. "I told you how I feel and I want to know how you honestly feel too" he told her.
A moment of silence filled the room as Patricia studied Eddie carefully; debating on what she should and should not tell him. Honestly though right now she didn't want to tell him anything because she hated these types of conversations. She knew that this conversation couldn't be avoided forever though, so she decided that she should just get it over with now, then that way it would be out of the way.
"I think I'm falling for you to" Patricia then admitted to him quietly, hoping that Eddie heard her so that she wouldn't have to repeat herself. She immediately wanted to hit herself though for admitting it and for feeling it so soon in their relationship.
"I didn't hear a word of that" Eddie told Patricia, who was no longer looking at him.
"I think I'm falling for you to" Patricia repeated and this time Eddie heard her loud and clear.
"Are you sure? You don't sound very convinced" questioned Eddie.
"Yes I'm sure. It's just that I've never felt like this before and you're a doofus for making me feel like this" Patricia told him.
Eddie laughed lightly; Patricia never failed to call him something other than his name, whatever the situation was. He then placed his hand carefully on Patricia's cheek and brought her face back around to meet his. She was now looking at him again.
"I've never felt like this before either" Eddie told her, causing Patricia to roll her eyes at him.
"Eddie don't lie to make me feel better. I mean we both know that you had tons of girlfriends back in America and one of the reasons you came here was because you thought the principals daughter was cute" Patricia replied, not believing what he had just told her.
"I'm not lying" Eddie tried to reassure her. "Thinking the principals daughter was cute was just part of the cover up story to why I really came here. I came here because of my Dad. Yes, I've had other girlfriends but Patricia you're different. I've never felt like this before" he explained, making Patricia smile and with that Eddie kissed her for the second time that day.
As the two broke away from their kiss, Eddie jerked in surprise as he felt something fall on the top of his head. He looked up slightly and noticed Patricia spraying whipped cream on his head.
"That's what you get for making me talk all mushy" she told him.
"It was worth it" Eddie smiled.
