I felt a warm hand place itself on my right cheek and pull me forward. My eyes jolted open to see someone I would have least expected to do this- Ed. I was in shock but didn't stop him. My heart began to race fast… REALLY fast. I didn't resist though. Actually, I leaned in. Ed's lips reached mine and my heart started beating even faster, if that was possible. But just as I started to calm down, the woman came back again.
"Oh…I'm sorry…" she said, and turned back around.
Edward and I were blushing crimson red and felt like everyone was staring at us. He turned to face me.
"I… I'm sorry… I shouldn't have done that…" he muttered, blushing more.
I was too nervous to say anything back. We both felt awkward at that restaurant. I think Ed could tell by looking at me. He sat up and jumped over the table past me.
"We really should get out of here," he said quietly so nobody would hear.
I nodded, still blushing. Ed walked out rather quickly and I followed him. Once he was outside, he waited next to the door. After I got out, he apologized again.
"I'm sorry, Nicole. I don't know what came over me," he said stammering a bit less than before.
As he said my name, my heart started racing again. Ed continued apologizing, with each word turning even redder.
"I don't know why I did that, it was really stupid. You probably feel really awkward now. And I honestly don't think you really wanted it and I'm sure it was a really big mista-"
But I cut him off. I wrapped my arms around him and he let out a sigh of joy.
"So… you did want it…" he whispered slowly, thinking about it obviously.
I nodded. It was true. Ever since I met him 6 years ago, I at least thought he was cute. But after traveling the thoughts of cute disappeared and were replaced with other, more powerful words.
"C'mon, we can't just stand out here!" Ed yelled, grabbing my wrist and running.
"Wait! Where are we-" I started but realized I couldn't really do anything about it now.
