They both came to the agreement of having a lazy day. They had both adopted the appropriate attire for this occasion;comfy clothes. Eddie returned a few minutes before they went into the living room,having changed and gone shopping. He was laden with a few shopping bags including alcohol,more alcohol,some new dvd's,food,some more food and...more food.
Eddie and Rachel made theirs way into the living room and sat opposite each other on the sofa. Rachel then extracted malteasers from the carrier bag,which sat upon the coffee table in front of them. Rachel then opened the crimson red packet before throwing one of the round chocolate balls up in the air and catching it successfully in her mouth. Rachel chuckled eating the chocolate,then grabbing another one and throwing it towards Eddie who had caught in in his mouth,now running around doing a mock celebration,sending them both into hysterics. Once Eddie had dumped himself back down onto the sofa,pulling his top back down,he turned to face Rachel,"Never guess who I bumped into." He said raising an eyebrow. "Who?"
"Steph. She was wondering how could I get anymore informal,"he laughed throwing a chocolate at Rachel. "I was wondering the exact same thing,"she replied cheekily.
"Watch it Mason!"
"Or what Lawson?" Just as Rachel finished the question Eddie had pounced on her and started to tickle her middle. Rachel was trying to wriggle out of his grasp,"Eddiiiee!" She yelled I between laughing. Eddie couldn't help but laugh,which loosened the grip he had on Rachel. So,she managed to flip him over and pin his arms above his head. Their gaze caught for a few seconds too long,as their erratic breathing slowed down. Eddie wanted to kiss he badly,but knew it would be inappropriate at this point in time. After their breathing had turned back to normal,they both sat up,next to each other. The amusement was soon out of Rachel's mind,"Eddie?" She asked as he handed her a large glass of red wine.
"Yes Rach?"
"Have you done anything you've regretted?" The question was shy and timid,as she looked down at her glass,swirling the the deep red liquid around. "Ye,"he replied looking at her. At this answer Rachel looked up at him,"I was seventeen and used drugs quite frequently. I went on protests to get them legalised and a photo was taken to put in the newspaper. I nearly got arrested because of it,"he stifled a giggle. Eddie knew this wasn't as bad as Rachel's but he wanted her to know that she wasn't the only person who made mistakes,or regretted anything. "Anyway let's not dwell on the past,"he said raising his glass clinking it with Rachel's . Rachel smiled,she felt safe with Eddie,she felt as if she could be herself,she knew she didn't have to worry about anything around him. Rachel brought the duvet with lay on the floor up and around her,it now covering herself and Eddie,as they watched a comedy box set to lighten the weekend mood,before having to return back to work Monday.
It had just turned ten in the night. Eddie and Rachel had been through six hours of tv and double their calorie intake. Eddie looked to his right and noticed that Rachel had fallen into a much needed deep sleep. Eddie sneakily took a photo, then stood off the sofa and straightened Rachel out so she was laying flat,he placed a fluffy pillow underneath her head and pulled the duvet up towards her shoulders covering them. Eddie kissed her forehead and made his way over to the other sofa before falling into a light slumber. Tomorrow was going to be tough. Rachel was going to be scared for what Monday brought but he had to help her...
