I stretched my arms above my head tiredly as I sat up wincing in pain from the previous night. I probably wouldn't even be alive right now if it wasn't for that guy. I thought, smiling softly. The door creaked open and revealed a tall blonde, golden eyed male. I smiled softly and meekly waved from under the covers of the bed I was lying in.

"I hope you're hungry." He smiled as he held out a tray of food.

My stomach growled loudly in response, making me giggle softly. He set the tray on my lap and took a seat next to me on the bed.

I began eating slowly but stopped as I felt his eyes staring at me intensely.

I took a large gulp of orange juice to clear the food from my mouth before speaking in my hoarse cracked voice. "Is there a reason as to why you are staring at me?"

"Not really. You're just a very beautiful thing to stare at. Plus I'm trying to figure out why that guy attacked you last night."

I grasped the black cord around my neck protectively. "I can show you why. I lied to that man. I told him I didn't know what jewel he was talking about- I have it right here around my neck."

I pulled the brilliant red stone out from the t-shirt I was borrowing and held it out for him to see.

"It's beautiful. But not as beautiful as you are." He flirted with me smiling.

I giggled at threw an English muffin at him playfully.

"By the way, my name is Edward. You can call my Ed if you want. If I'm not asking too much, could you tell me your name so I don't have to call you lady or miss all the time?" He asked shyly.

"My name is Winry."

"That's such a beautiful name. Winry… I like it, it suits you!" He laughed as he slung an arm around my shoulder. "So Winry, am I going to have to protect you from more of those guys that want to take your necklace from you?"

"I'm perfectly fine actually. They just caught me off guard last night. That's all." I said defensively.

"Mhmm. Yeah sure, well than if that's the case how about you just stay here anyways and keep me company? I get quite lonely up here all by myself."

I look at him shocked that he actually wanted me to stay with him even though I was most likely going to cause so much trouble for him. "If you insist…" I giggled winking at him playfully. "But you'll have to take me shopping. I want to get some stuff."

His eyes widened in alarm and he looked around the room nervously. "I'm not very good at that sort of thing. But I do have a really great friend who is and that could still protect you from danger if you needed it! I'll go give her a call right now!" He dashed out of the room quickly.

I giggled as I relaxed back against the memory foam pillows.

I was partly dozing off as Ed came back into the room smiling widely. "She said she would love to- and congratulated me on getting a girl who actually wants to be around me. But yeah, she'll be here in about 10 minutes. So let's get you into the shower and I'll set out a set of clothes that will hopefully fit you."
