Mia stared at Ed for what seemed like forever with a look of shock on her
face. Tears started rolling down her face. It was honestly the sweetest
thing that a guy has ever said to her. If only he knew the truth! He
would be surprised to find out that he wasn't too far from the truth. In
fact, it was the truth.
"What Mia? I didn't think that saying I love you to someone would make them sad."
"No that's not it at all. It's just that I've never had any guy say anything like that to me before. It was just so sweet. And oh, I love you too." As soon as she finished saying that, Ed put his hands on the sides of her face and kissed her with so much passion that she literally almost fell back. She laughed as she kissed Ed, trying to find her way over to the dresser to set her bracelet down. This time when he felt for her bra, she didn't stop him.
"Are you sure you're ready for this? I don't want you to do something that you will regret or that you're too scared to do," Ed said she he finished unhooking her bra and taking her shirt off.
"Yes I'm sure. This is exactly how I wanted my first time to be, with the one that I'm in love with."
"Wait a minute though. I want everything to be perfect for you. Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back." Ed ran to Mia's restroom where he remembered seeing the scented candles and got those. He also picked up a romantic songs cd that he saw in the living room.
"I got this to help set the mood," he said as he turned off the lights and lit a few candles. He then put the cd in her cd player. "And this is for a little romantic atmosphere. Not like I need one or anything, because you're all I need. Now and always."
She smiled and held back the tears that were about to explode out from her again. He was just so amazing. As the first song started playing, Ed went over to Mia and began right where he left off. He started by kissing her lips and then he slowly made his way down to her neck, gently using his tongue.
Mia sighed deeply as they made their way over to her bed, never taking their hands off of each other. They took turns unbuttoning each other's pants. She ran her hands over his back, massaging gently. Ed made a trail of kisses from her neck down to her waistline. He entered her slowly, making sure that it didn't hurt too much. Mia gasped and let out a little moan, surprised by the feeling.
Ed whispered in her ear, "I love you so much baby."
"I love you too."
An hour later they were still in her bed, wrapped in each other's arms. Mia was completely in awe of how simply wonderful it was. "That was just amazing. It was so perfect."
"It was. All because of you."
"Oh Ed, come on, be serious here! That was my first time."
"And if I didn't know that, I wouldn't be able to tell. Everything you did was perfect. I felt like I was in heaven."
Mia rolled over in the bed as she remembered something. She may be going out with him so she could save him, but she couldn't very well save him by having sex with him all day, everyday. 'I really need to get a grip on reality,' Mia thought to herself. 'As much as I would like to be with Ed forever, the fact is that I can't. I will eventually be going back up to heaven and I will have to leave him here. How I'm going to do that without letting him know that I'm an angel is the question.'
The buzzer to her apartment rang. Ed looked over at her and asked, "Are you expecting someone?"
"No. I don't know who that could be." She quickly gathered her clothes and put them on as she ran to the intercom.
"Yes?"
"Hey Mia, its Dan. I hope I'm not disturbing you or anything, but I figured Ed would be here and I was wondering if he would like to hang out with us. We're going over Lucy and Kevin's for their Christmas Eve party."
"Hey Dan. Come on up! Second floor, first door on the right."
"Thanks."
Mia opened the door to greet him. "Hey! Merry..." She was about to say Merry Christmas but she saw that Trina was with Dan, along with another guy that she hadn't seen before.
"Hi Mia!" Trina said, putting on a rather fake smile.
"Hi Trina. Never thought I'd be letting you in my house."
"Yeah well I didn't exactly want to come here either, but Dan wanted to hang out with Ed and Cal, and they called me so I came. And we knew you'd be here since you go after everyone's man because you're such a slut."
"Ok, wait a minute.."
"Ok ladies, that's enough! Where's Ed at?"
"Right here." Ed had just entered the room.
"Hey man, what's up? Well, I hear you've already met Cal, and of course you know Trina so introductions needed, except for Mia. Mia, this is Cal Moore. He's going to be starting 11th grade at our school in January. Cal, this is Mia Embers. Ed's girlfriend."
"Pleasure to meet you Mia. Ed told me a little bit about you when I was standing in line with him at the mall. I can see that he was right. You are beautiful."
Mia laughed a little. "Nice to meet you too." As she shook his hand, she couldn't help but notice that something was very different about him. Even though he seemed nice, she could sense something very evil about him. She wasn't quite sure what it was, but she had a bad feeling about it.
"Ed, can I speak to you in private for a moment?" Trina asked, taking his hand and pulling him away without waiting for an answer from him.
Mia felt a little awkward when Dan and Cal started talking because she wasn't included in the conversation. After about five minutes Ed and Trina were still talking and she really started to feel uncomfortable, especially when she heard them laughing. Finally they came back.
"Well, in case you wanted to know, Ed and I are now friends. We decided that it was silly to be on bad terms with each other."
"That's great," Mia said, although she didn't really mean it. She obviously didn't like Trina very much, and Ed getting involved with her again, even if they were just friends, wasn't a very good idea.
Cal decided to break the silence that was starting to form between them. "Well, like Dan said earlier, we were wondering if you would like to go to Lucy and Kevin's party."
Not knowing that Ed had a fall out with his parents, Mia answered for him. "Sure, that'd be great."
"Well actually, I'd rather we not go to Lucy and Kevin's tonight, if that's ok with you guys. I had a fight with my parents."
"Oh Ed, I'm sorry. Why didn't you tell me?"
Ed shrugged. "No big deal."
"Well we can find somewhere else to go. Oh, no offense Mia, but we just came here to take Ed, not you," Trina said.
'Yeah, no offense my ass,' Mia thought. Trina was obviously happy that Mia wasn't going to be going along with them.
"Is that ok babe? I don't want to leave you here by yourself."
"It's fine. My mom will be home soon anyway. But, can I talk to you for a minute in private?" Ed felt a sudden rush of déjà vu as he was being pulled away by Mia now.
"Listen, you are going to think this is really weird, but I need to tell you this. I have a very bad feeling about that Cal guy. I know I just met him and all, but trust me, I just don't think he's a good person to be hanging out with."
"Relax, he seems cool to me. If you're uncomfortable because Trina is going along, just tell me. You don't have to make up a story about Cal. You know you can tell me anything. But really, you don't have anything to worry about. I love you and only you, and Trina is just my friend. We just have a little history that's all."
"Ed, please, just listen to me. I'm not making up the story about Cal because I'm worried about Trina. I mean don't get me wrong, you know I don't like Trina very much, but I'm ok with you two being friends. I just have a bad feeling about Cal. It's very weird, but I felt it as soon as I shook his hand. I really don't think you should go with them tonight."
"Mia, as much as I love you, I'm not going to give up my friends for you."
"I'm not asking you to. I'm just simply telling you that I don't think you should go with them tonight."
"You know, I get enough of this from my dad. I really don't need it from my girlfriend too. And if this is how you are going to act, then I really don't need you as my girlfriend."
He turned his back on her and went back to Dan, Trina, and Cal. "Ok guys, I'm ready. Let's go."
"Great! Have a Merry Christmas Mia. I'll see you around I'm sure," Dan said as he put his gloves back on.
"Yeah, Merry Christmas Mia and nice to meet you."
Trina just smirked and simply said, "Bye", as she started heading out the door.
"Ed, please, don't go!"
"Sorry Mia. Take care of yourself."
"No, you don't mean that. Please, after everything you said tonight and after what we did. You don't mean that you don't want to see me again."
Ed sighed as he took one last look at her. "A girlfriend shouldn't forbid her boyfriend to see his friends, and that's exactly what you are doing. I really thought you were different than the rest Mia. I really did. So, goodbye I guess."
Mia started to cry as she watched him walk out the door. As much as she knew that she would eventually have to end things with Ed, she didn't want it to be like this. She would never be able to save him now, not when he never wanted to see her again.
"Damnit now what am I supposed to do!?" Mia screamed up at the ceiling, talking to the other Ed. "It wasn't supposed to be like this you know. Now how in the hell am I going to save him?" There was a crack of thunder immediately following her last comment, which probably meant that Ed wasn't too happy with the way she was acting.
"Well seriously, there's no way I can do this!" Mia groaned in frustration and threw a book at the TV. It looked like she would be spending the rest of her Christmas figuring out a way to help him.
"What Mia? I didn't think that saying I love you to someone would make them sad."
"No that's not it at all. It's just that I've never had any guy say anything like that to me before. It was just so sweet. And oh, I love you too."
