Chapter Twenty: When She Tells You A Secret

Disclaimer: I don't own House of Anubis :(

When she tells you a secret...

"First." The robotic voice rang through Eddie's head repeatedly.

He calmed himself down, and managed to squeak out an "oh." He was Patricia's first kiss? Did anyone else know this? He figured Joy did, but if Jerome knew it, Eddie was pretty sure he would have found out a long time ago.

A million thoughts and questions rushed through his head as they continued through their dinner. Boys were scared of her, he was fearless, and Victor ruined absolutely everything .But still, these conclusions were nothing in comparison to how nervous he was that he possessed such sacred information. Patricia Williamson, his girlfriend (or so he believed and hoped) had kissed him, and only him.

After Eddie has dropped his plate off in the sink, and disappointedly walked back to his room, he began thinking about what this could mean. Patricia had never been a dater, as if she was waiting for the right person to come along. With this thought in his head, Eddie smiled to himself; she had a lot to learn from him.

***o***

"Okay, Eddie. Truth or Dare?" Jerome smiled with a small smirk on his lips.

"Truth." Eddie sighed, running his finger through his hair.

"Aw Eddie you're so boring!" Amber whined from the opposite side of the dining room table. It wasn't frequently that all nine of the Anubis students talked to one another during dinner, and when they did, they were most-likely playing a game.

"He is not!" Eddie heard Patricia typing furiously away, as her talking machine protested this. "No one is stupid enough to take a dare from Jerome."

Eddie saw the other girls smiling widely at the red-head. "Actually, thank you Williamson." Jerome beamed. "I know the perfect question to ask him now." She rolled her eyes before shooting him a quick glare.

"Eddie, how many of Patricia's exes intimidate you?"

Eddie felt his eyes go wide and his throat dry up. He knew she had never kissed anyone before him, but had she ever had a boyfriend? Either way he wasn't sure. "Actually Jerry, I'm pretty fearless, so-"

"Well, come on, what about Jack? The huge football player, remember how they used to make out allllll the time?" Joy butt in quickly. Did she know too? Eddie figured she had too, considering how quick she was to defend her best friend. Eddie decided to go along with the act.

"Oh yeah him." Eddie looked down, careful to not slip up and tell the rest of the house that Patricia had never kissed anyone. "I've actually tried to erase those images from my mind, Joy." Eddie gave a fake shutter, obviously amusing the rest of the boys, and relieving Patricia beyond belief.

"Whatever." Jerome sighed disappointedly. "Millington's right, you are pretty boring mate. But anyways, your turn."

"Right, yeah." Eddie continued on with the game, careful to avoid eye contact with Patricia. Had he said too much? Did he seem as if he jumped into their relationship too quick?

***o***

Eddie followed Patricia upstairs silently, careful to not scare her. "Hey Yacker?" He hissed, at her. She turned around quickly, a nervous look on her face. "I was just, um wondering, if…" He trailed off, unsure of how to get the words out.

She smiled lightly at him, before placing her laptop down on the ground, and wrapping her arms around his neck. There was one second when their eyes met, and they could feel the other's breath on their faces before she brought her lips to his.

"If you wanted that second kiss." Eddie finished sheepishly, after they pulled apart. "Uh well goodnight Yacker." He placed a quick kiss on her cheek, and she waved lightly at him, before picking up her laptop and turning towards her door. With a smug smile, she turned her head right, and watched him stroll triumphantly back to his room as she pushed open her bedroom door, ready to fall asleep with the wonderful thought of his lips on her's, fresh in her mind.

…Keep it safe and untold.

A/N: Sorry that it took soooo long for me to update guys! I already have a few of them at least started, so I'm hoping to (possibly) get this story finished before the third season starts, but we'll play it by year :) Don't forget to tell me what you thought!
