Jill's point of view: chapter 3
We have been driving for a couple hours. Thoughts about what happened yesterday and this morning ran through my head making me blush. Eddie said we should take our relationship slow. I agreed with him because I've never been in a relationship and was terrified what would happen if we sped up our relationship. Still a small part of me wanted more, but I knew it was right to go slow.
We were now in this small rode that was deserted when Eddie pulled over. It was noon and sunny so there was no threat of Strigoi. I still wondered why he pulled over.
"Eddie why are we stopping?" I asked confused. He just looked at me and smiling.
"You want to drive?" He smiled. I so surprised I froze. I thought about getting my license and getting the opportunity to drive for years but my excitement was forgotten over what has happened this year. I remained frozen and just stared at his hazel eyes.
"Your sixteen and I think most girls want to drive don't they? We are in an abandoned rode and no one will even come and if they do I got it. I won't let anything bad happen. So do you want to try?" Eddie asked calmly. I was only able to nod my head making him laugh.
Eddie got out of the car and came around to my side. He scoped the area with his eyes for a few moments and listened for any threats. Once he decided it was safe he opened my car door and helped me out and led me to the driver's side and helped me in.
"Okay what is the first thing I do?" I asked as soon as he got into the passenger side. He just looked at me and chuckled. I was worried I had done something stupid.
Eddie leant in my side of the car and kissed my lips. The kiss was sweet and gentle but lasted a while. I heard a click and he pulled away slightly. His face was still close to mine. When he pulled away I saw what had made the click sound, it was my seatbelt. Eddie had put my seatbelt on me when he kissed me but I was so caught up in the kiss I didn't realize it.
"Safety first Jillian." He smirked. I blushed a deep scarlet color but relaxed when I heard him laughing sweetly.
"Right. What next?" I asked trying to recover from the sweet kiss. He chuckled again and looked at me shaking his blonde hair out of his eyes.
"Your adorable." He accidently blurted out. He quickly blushed and turned away which I thought was so sweet.
"Thanks if that's a compliment?" I said stupidly.
"Yeah it was a compliment. Sorry accidently blurted that out but it is a compliment." He laughed trying to shake off the embarrassment. I said thanks again and he smiled and relaxed.
Eddie taught me the basics and I drove for a while. I wasn't great but I wasn't terrible honestly. When it was time Eddie helped me into the passenger seat and he started driving.
I started playing with my necklace with one hand while Eddie held my other. His hands were rough from all the training he has done. In an odd way I liked the roughness of his hands. His hands have been abused from the training which made them stronger and made me feel like he could protect me with them.
"So do you like your birthday present?" Eddie asked referring to the diamond necklace detailed with jade that he got me for my birthday. His eyes were hopeful and even if I hated it which I absolutely didn't I could never hurt his feelings. However I didn't need to worry about that because I absolutely loved this necklace and the fact that it came from him made it more special.
"I love it, it is so stunning. Thank you so much for buying it for me." I said honestly. I watched his eyes light up when I said this and it made my heart glow.
Eddie was usually reserved and shy. I've have seen him relax and light up around his friends like Rose, Christian and Adrian, all of them. I was shy too. I felt that we were more comfortable with each other than we usually were with other people. Maybe I was imagining this or I a desperate schoolgirl wanting her first love, but I strongly felt like this was true. Whatever Eddie and I are it was special. Even if I had him in my life as a boyfriend, friend or even just guardian, I needed him in my life.
We kept driving until we reached the court where Eddie became rigid and focused on guardian duties. At first I was sad then I realized he was protecting me and I needed to be patient. Every once in a while his hazel eyes would connect to my eyes and I would see a smile in them. The spark in his eyes reassured me that everything was okay.
Eddie led me to our suite which was a benefit of Lissa being queen. The Suite apparently had 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms and a seating room and kitchen. Eddie opened the door for me and I gasped at the beauty of this suite. I never would imagined any wonderful place life it. The other guardians carried our stuff to the door way then left.
Eddie and I were alone staring at each other. Eddie took three large strides and wrapped his arms gently around me. His lips slowly pressed down to mine. I stood with my arms pressed lightly on his chest and surrounded in his strong gentle arms. Eddie kept kissing me lightly and was being very gentle.
"About fucking time." I familiar voice spoke. Eddie and I broke apart but Eddie kept his arms around me. I turned slightly to see who spoke.
I saw the smirk and Emerald eyes of Adrian Ivashkov.
