Chapter 15
Sophie
Oh my god, he's kissing me! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Wait, what do I do?
Kiss him back you idiot!
Those thoughts were in my mind as I stood there as Edmund was kissing me. I grabbed his arms and my eyes closed as I returned the kiss. It felt weird but exciting at the same time. We pulled apart after a second and we rested our foreheads on one another.
"Wow" I breathed out, wearing a stupid grin on my face.
"I guess that's one way to shut you up" he said. I rolled my eyes as we separated. I went to grab my sweatshirt and tossed it on me. I was going to head back when I felt Edmund's hand intertwine with mine.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Sophie, you're not a freak" he said. I started to say something but he put his finger on my lips, hushing me so I let him continue. "You're not a freak and you are very different from any girl I've met and trust me when I speak the truth."
Where was he getting at?
"Then why did you kiss me? Not that I didn't enjoy it but I did and I just wanted to know why did you do it?" I asked.
"I kissed you because I wanted to do that since the ball but it didn't happen. Sophie as much as it hard to admit it but I've think I'm falling for you" he said.
"You are?" I asked incredulously. So I wasn't the only one!
"Yeah ever since I first saw you" he replied with a shy smile.
"Then why did you act like you did when you met me?" I asked.
"In all honesty, I didn't want anyone to notice how I was staring at you. Sophie you are the most beautiful girl I've ever met. You have a personality that I would never think any girl would have. You're kind, smart though at times I do question your sanity at times, understanding, unique and really sometimes…" he admitted.
"Opinioned?" I asked finishing his sentence.
"That too and not to mention beautiful" he replied.
"Oh Ed" I said with a small smile. "So where does this leave us now?"
"I want us to be more than friends. Today just made me realize how much I would lose if something happened to you. If you got hurt or worse, I wouldn't know what to do" he said.
"But what about when I have to go back home?" I asked. While I was flattered about his confession, I had to look at the realistic of things.
"What are you talking about?"
I turned away from him before I let a few stray tears fell. "What happens after I fulfill that prophecy and I have to go back home? What's going to happen to us then?" I asked.
I felt his hands on me and he turned me around so I could face him. "Let's worry about that when it comes. I can't hide my feelings for you any longer. Sophie, please be with me" he said.
I only stared at him for awhile in shock. I could not believe he had these feelings for me. Of course me being the blind one I've never noticed. Then again, he never knew my feelings for him until I yelled it at him. But what happens if I do winding up going back home? Will I forget about everything and him?
I only live once and I guess I should live in the moment. Who knows when I'll get another chance like this?
"Okay" I breathed out. His grin grew wider as he scooped me into his arms and kissed me. I eagerly returned the kiss as we kissed on the beach. We pulled away and I looked over his shoulder and I saw the sun setting.
"I never knew that the sunset here was beautiful" I said. Edmund looked over and he saw it with his arm still around me.
"Yeah but not as beautiful as you" he said, kissing my head. I smiled but then I let go of him as I yawned.
"You mind if we head back inside?" I asked.
"Not at all love" he replied as he wrapped an arm around my waist. We didn't let go of each other as we headed up the hill. I couldn't believe this was happening. I felt like I was on cloud nine and it was sure a definite cloud that's for sure.
"Come on not one girl you fancied however you called it back when you ruled?" I asked. We wounded up in my room and on the sofa. I had a blanket around me as Edmund sat next to me with his arm still around my waist as I leaned on his shoulder.
"I mean there were a few that I did have interest but they never worked out" he replied.
"Not even that blonde girl from the ball?" I asked. I had to ask, I've never really got that part of the story since I've spent that time trying to forget about it. Of course curiosity got the best of me as always.
"She was just a girl that was flirting with Peter before and she somehow found me" he replied. "And besides, I was attracted to a certain brown short haired girl."
I rolled my eyes but had a small smile on my face. He then kissed me on the cheek and pulled me closer to him.
"And what about you?"
"What about me?" I asked.
"Surely you've had men after you" Edmund replied.
"Well, sort of" I said.
"Go on and spill it" he said.
"Sheesh must be so pushy?" I asked. "There was a guy who tried to kiss me."
"What happened?"
"I punched him in the nose and got sent to the principal's office" I replied. I looked over and saw that his eyebrows were raised.
"Why would you do that?"
"Because I didn't like him and he did it on a dare" I said.
"How long ago was that?"
"Oh I don't know I was around seven" I said.
"You were seven?" he asked, incredulously.
"Yeah and I got in trouble for it. I think the guy did get in more trouble than me if I remember" I said. "Believe me Edmund, between the time you lived in and the time I live, it's changed a lot."
"Clearly" he said.
I leaned my head back on the couch and stared at the ceiling. I felt a hand on mine I looked over at him. "You feeling alright love?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine I'm just tired" I replied. I let out a yawn but covered it immediately. I was about get up when I heard a knock on my door.
"I could tell whoever it is to go away" Edmund suggested.
"Flattering but I would feel bad" I said.
"Do you want me to answer it? You look like you're about to fall asleep on me" he said.
"It doesn't matter" I said. He got up and went towards the door while I lied back and felt my eyes closing and I fell asleep.
Edmund POV
I opened up the door and was surprised to see Lucy standing there. "What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I should ask you the same thing" she replied.
"I was talking to Sophie" I replied. I didn't want her to know about Sophie and me just yet.
"Is she alright?" she asked.
"Yeah she and I were talking about what happened today" I said.
"That's it?" she asked.
"Of course, why wouldn't it be it?" I asked.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her since she came back and the way you acted towards her most likely made her upset" she replied.
"Look I did apologize to her and we're just talking that's it" I said.
"Okay but the both of you should get some rest. I know she probably feels overwhelmed and tired from today" she said.
"Don't worry we will" I said.
Lucy nodded as we bid our goodnights and she left. I went back in the room and closed the door. "Don't worry it was only Lucy checking up on us" I said.
I stopped when I saw Sophie curled up on the couch, fast asleep with the blanket only half on her. I smiled at the sight of her as I walked over and picked her up. She only moved but didn't wake up thankfully.
I carried her towards her bed and laid her down. I put the blanket she had on her and stared at her for awhile, letting my mind go adrift. I couldn't believe that how one minute we were just friends and now we're together. I pushed some of her hair out of her face and touch her cheek.
It was only one second that when I saw her fall off that cliff earlier, I thought that those seconds were at a time still and I lost her forever until I saw where she was swimming and I followed with Susan behind me.
I felt myself getting tired as I let out a yawn. I kissed Sophie's forehead and stroked her cheek lovingly before I left her room for the night.
A/n: So now they're together. I bet you guys are happy about that. How many of you wanted that to happen since the beginning? I had to let the relationship build up a bit before anything exclusive happens.
Just a few notes on my other two Narnia stories: For those who are waiting an update on the King and the Surfer, I'll have it done hopefully before the week is done. I'm just having a little bit of the problem with writing the chapter so it'll be done.
For Crazy Adventure, an update will HOPEFULLY happen tomorrow night. I am almost done with it, but I am having a bit trouble with the ending since I don't want it to be crappy.
Anyways, that's it for my little announcement and my rant so I'll leave you guys to review! You guys are amazing with your reviews and I don't mind the critiques you guys give I do learn by them and try to make it better.
Signing out for now,
