Eddie Munson wanted me in high school, and felt responsible for the abusive relationship I got into because he was too nervous to ask me out first. Eddie Munson was so jealous of Billy that he doubted his instincts. Eddie Munson admitted to having a sex dream about me less than 6 hours ago. My heart was racing and I heard the pulse in my ears. I grabbed Eddie's body and pulled backwards so he was lying face up below me, a question was forming on his lips, I lightly touched his non-bruised cheek as I leant down and kissed him. The kiss lasted 3 seconds that felt like a year, when his hand shot up to just below my ear and he pushed me away slightly. Oh. Fuck. I misread this. Immediately I began backing away and apologising under my breath. Eddie flicked on the lamp besides his bed, dimly illuminating the room, as he rose to his knees on the mattress. I could see his face properly now - his eyes were huge chocolatey buttons, and his mouth was slightly open in shock. Eddie's arms reached out and gently dragged me closer to him, but I was too embarrassed to look at him. "Rain..." He began, but I cut him off, "you don't have to - I totally misjudged the situation. I'm gonna crash on the couch, or I can go to Max's." His eyebrows raised and he lifted one hand to my chin, then he leaned in and kissed me. My hands hung in the air, my breathing stopped for a second, my brain short-circuited. Eddie's other arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me even closer, now we were both kneeling on the mattress with our bodies touching. I dropped my hands to Eddie's chest, as he lightly kissed me again. There was still some dried blood on his upper lip, invading my nostrils, but I didn't care. Underneath my hand I could feel his heart beating quickly. This time I broke our lips apart briefly, taking a deep breath that was filled with Eddie's scent, before tilting my head and returning my lips to his. The kisses were closed mouthed, sweet, and pure.
We pulled apart but remained in our position on the mattress, with Eddie's arm around my waist and other hand cupping my chin, whilst I rubbed up and down his chest. "Wow." Was all Eddie said, eyes locking onto mine and shining in the light. A smile spread on my face, my bones felt wired, I moved my hands to the back of his neck. "Ask me." I simply said, yearning for Eddie to gather the courage he didn't have in high school. Lines appeared on his forehead as his brow lifted, confused. "We're adults now. You just pummeled a guy for disrespecting me, I know you're braver now Munson. Ask. Me." I whispered to him. Realisation dawned on his face, his lips pulled back into an amazing grin, "Rain Wheeler, will you go on a date with me?" I knew from the look on his face that my cheeks were bright red, I could feel the heat rising to my face. "Of course I will." I said to him. Eddie immediately pressed his lips to mine, both arms now round my waist, holding me tightly to him. Around his neck, i felt his long hair brushing against my hands and it tickled, making me smile as I kissed him back. We stayed there a few moments more inhaling each other, sharing long and short kisses. A huge gale of wind lightly shook the trailer, forcing us to break apart. We laughed, and I sat back against his pillows, watching him fall back next to me. We sat side by side with our bodies joined together, I rested my head on Eddie's shoulder. Not only did I have a crush on Eddie Munson, I was going on a date with him. "So...about that naughty dream..." Eddie's voice turned playful, and I felt ice flood my veins. "Nope. Not tonight Munson. Suddenly I'm very tired and can't talk when I'm sleeping, sorry." I laid flat on my back and slapped my lips together. Eddie chuckled and stood up, grabbing one of the pillows, "Sure. It is pretty late, or pretty early, depending how you look at it." It was 3am, and I actually was starting to feel tired. Nonetheless I didn't want Eddie to go just yet, I knew once he left and I tried to sleep, I would be over run with memories and nightmares of Billy again.
"Wait, come back here." I said. One corner of Eddie's mouth turned up as he laid back down on the bed, "Sup?" Tonight had been full of confessions and truths - why stop now? I bit my lip and told Eddie, "Billy is like Bloody Mary for me y'know. Say his name 3 times and he pops up in my dreams, sometimes when I'm not even asleep." I wasn't sure if this would freak Eddie out. Apparently not, since he shuffled closer to me, but kept a slight distance between us, and turned to face me. "I'll stay here until you're asleep. I'll crash on the floor in here too, couch is too far away." I was surprised by how thoughtful and caring Eddie's response was. Hadn't had that before. I pulled the blankets over us, and Eddie pushed more of them onto me, then he leaned in and placed a kiss on my head which was enough to keep me warm all night. "Goodnight Wheeler." He whispered, I chuckled before closing my heavy eyes, "goodnight Munson."
