*Back to Rain's POV, Monday*
Yesterday my mom had badgered me with questions about my date with Eddie - acting like a highschool girl gossiping in the bathrooms. I'd given her the highlights, leaving out my little episode and the way the night ended. My mom looked pleased and kissed my head when she said, "He seems like a good one." For the rest of the day I sat in the backyard on the tyre swing that the previous owners had left up, contemplating how I would talk to Eddie and ask him out after what I'd said to him. Steve's words banged around my head, "Take control." That's exactly what I would do. The summer was well and truly sweltering - probably the hottest day of the year already - I kicked on some knee length jean shorts and my converse, slipping on a loose fitting green tank top too. My mom was in the lounge watching TV - having a well deserved day off work. "Where you headed?" she called out to me with a coffee mug in her hand. I pursed my lips as i grabbed the car keys from the hook at the door, "to see Eddie." I responded and looked away when she gave me that look all mom's give you when they know you're into someone. "Drive safe." was all she said back. I pulled into the trailer park and hopped up the step to the door of Eddie's trailer, knocking firmly but not too loud. A ragged looking middle aged man opened the door with a cigarette in his mouth - Eddie's Uncle. He had a kind face but wore a stern expression. "Can I help you?" he asked around the cigarette. I stuck my hand out awkwardly, "Hi - I'm Rain - Wheeler. My cousin is friends with Eddie." I said nervously; I'd never been good at meeting the family of people I was dating.
He blew smoke to the side and responded, "Your cousin aint here. No kids are." I shook my head quickly, "No no, I'm here to see Eddie." Eddie's uncle looked me up and down, not sure whether to believe me. But he stepped aside and shouted towards Eddie's room, "You got a visitor, boy!" I could hear Eddie playing his guitar and his uncle gave me a shrug saying, "He doesn't hear a thing when he's playing that." Gesturing for me to go in to Eddie's room. I knocked but of course Eddie couldn't hear over the Metallica song he was playing - For Whom The Bell Tolls. I collected myself with a deep breath and pushed the door open. Eddie was standing with his back to me, playing towards the window. The lead from his guitar to the amp trailed all along the floor and I carefully skipped over the leads to reach him. When I stuck a finger into his shoulder blade he jumped like a cat - screamed like one too. "Jesus christ!" he shouted when he saw me, slinging the guitar over his shoulder. I was trying not to laugh and couldn't talk. Eddie studied me, glancing up and down my body. "I mean - hey, sup?" Eddie deepened his voice. I tried looking into his eyes but the big brown orbs were watching me too intensely, so I looked at the window behind him as I spoke. "I'm here to apologise for my behaviour the other night. It wasn't fair and it wasn't cool. You didn't deserve that," Eddie's gaze softened and his expression became lighter. "You took me on an amazing date. I'm sorry for what I said, and for ruining it." I concluded.
Eddie exhaled through his nose and caught my eyes with his, "You don't need to apologise. It hurt in the moment, of course it did, but I spent the whole weekend kicking myself for how I responded." Eddie sounded defeated, "I should've just talked to you about what you were feeling and why, but I didn't, which made it all worse." I held out my hands to him, walking forward to touch his chest. "No Eddie - don't blame yourself. It was my issue. I've got a lot of them," I said desperately, "I'm not the easiest to be around sometimes. I can be intense and overly emotional. My guard went up because I'd never expect you to choose me over literally anyone else." Eddie's face looked pained, he brushed hair away from my face and held onto my shoulders, looking directly at me. "I get it. I do choose you though - just so you know. Any day." He smiled at me and I felt myself almost swoon, legs feeling like jelly and heart skipping a beat. "I actually came here to ask if you wanted to go out - with me - like right now?" Eddie's face lit up, he clasped my hands in his and kissed my fingers individually before answering, "Give me 15 minutes." I sat on Eddie's bed whilst he quickly showered, entering the room in just a towel around his waist. Seeing him like that sparked a flame inside my stomach, setting off an ache in my loins. Eddie scrambled to get dressed, taking no notice of me staring at his ass the entire time. Once dressed in ripped black jeans and a grey Judas Priest top with the sleeves cut off, he ran his fingers through his hair and turned to me, "Like what you see?" he teased.
I responded by crawling to the foot of the bed, raising myself up on my knees in front of him and pulling him to me by the shirt. I lifted my head and pressed my lips to his. Eddie bent his head and grasped the back of my head with one hand, the other snaking around my waist and holding me in place. I bit his lower lip, inviting myself into his mouth and he sighed happily. Eddie moved his hand from my face to my chin, tilting my head back to stick his tongue into my throat. Take control. I broke the contact between us briefly, leaving Eddie looking confused. I stood on his bed, looking down at him and pushed my fingers through the long thick hair at both sides of his head, leaning down to kiss him hard. Eddie's arms snapped to my thighs and he lifted my legs to put them around his waist, never breaking his lips from mine. I hadn't expected him to be so strong. Eddie held me there, hands on my ass rubbing small circles with his thumbs. Our teeth clashed together a few times because we were so hungrily smacking our lips together. The flame in my stomach travelled to my crotch and I could feel myself starting to get wet. I moved my head to the side, letting Eddie attack my neck, he shuffled forwards and dropped me back onto the bed, hovering above me and nipping my collar bone. I wanted to lock my legs around him and keep him on top of me forever; tug on his hair and ask him to fuck me. I was also hyperaware of his Uncle being in the lounge watching TV, and the fact that Eddie's bed made SO much noise. "We should go" I breathed into Eddie's hair. He lifted his head back to my face, kissing me deeply on the mouth before clambering off the bed. "Lead the way Wheeler." he winked at me.
