I woke up the next morning at about 8:30, I had to be to work at 9. Shit. I checked my phone quickly. I had two text messages, one from Teddy, the other from Lucy.
Teddy: Good morning beautiful J I hope you have a great day at work. Can't wait to see you tonight x
Good morning, love. You too, see you at 6 x
Lucy: UM HELLO, HOW WAS YOUR DATE?
It was good! Really good actually. Except when we got swarmed by paps. But I'm seeing him again tonight. I think he really likes me.
Can you blame him? You're hot.
Ha ha ha. If you will excuse me, I'm late for work.
Work was slow and I couldn't wait to leave and go see Teddy. When 5:30 rolled around, I couldn't get out the door soon enough. I quickly stopped at my house to grab some things, the headed to his house.
On my way, I'll pick up pizza J
A woman of my own heart. I'll see you soon, love.
When I got to his house, he was waiting at the door. He wrapped me into a hug. "Hello, beautiful." I smiled, "Hello!" I dropped my purse and shoes at the front door, then put the pizza on the kitchen counter and got us out some plates. Teddy sat down at the bar and smiled, as I got him pizza and a beer. "What?" I said. He shook his head, "Nothing. I just could used to this." I rolled my eyes, "Just eat your pizza." He laughed and took a bite. I sat down next to him and did the same. "So, what's on the agenda for tonight?" I asked. He smiled, "A whole lot of nothing." I grinned, "good. I don't want to do anything." He laughed, "Do you want to play monopoly?" "Only if you want to lose," I replied. He shot me a look, "Oh, it's on." He ran up the stairs and I followed, laughing. We went into the game room, where he was setting it up.
"So, what does the winner get if they win?" I asked. Teddy shot me a smile, "the winner gets a kiss from the other person." I smiled, "bring it on." After about an hour of playing, I finally won. Teddy smiled at me and pushed the pieces off the board, then leaned over. He put his hands on my cheeks and kissed me. Our first kiss. It was soft and gentle. He pulled away and smiled. I looked down and smiled. Then went in for a second one, which he smiled in the middle of. "Man, you're beautiful." I rolled my eyes, "Shut up and kiss me." He did just that.
"Do you want to go watch a movie?" he asked. "Sure!" I said, I jumped up and ran to pick one out. He came into the living room and sat down on the couch. I put in Silver Linings Playbook and sat next to him, cuddling up like the night before. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. "I love this movie," I said. He smiled, "me too."
We watched the film in silence, I actually made it through the whole thing. When it was over we talked. "Do you have work tomorrow?" Ed asked. I frowned, "Yeah, but not until 12:30." He smiled, "Stay with me." I was nervous about this, we'd only known each other for about a week. But it was comfortable. I was comfortable with Ed. "Okay, but I have to leave here by like 10:30." His face lit up, "okay that's fine." I smiled. "What's your schedule like for the next couple weeks?" He asked. I thought about it. Today was Thursday. "Tomorrow's 12:30-6:30, Saturday is 9-5, Sunday I have a wedding, so 8:30 until 11, then I'm off the following week, a mini-vacation, I guess. All the other girls are going to Australia for some convention so we closed the shop," I explained. He was quiet for a minute, "Will you come to my Wembley shows?" I smiled, "Yes! Of course." I knew this was a really big deal to him, I didn't know much about Wembley, so I didn't know why. But I was excited to support him. "Really?" He asked, with a huge grin. "Really," I replied, kissing his cheek. "Thanks, Kels. It really means so much to me," he said with a smile.
He got up and picked a few movies off the shelf, "Shall we switch rooms?" I smiled, "we shall." He led me down the hallway to his bedroom. "Make yourself comfortable," he said. I crawled into his big bed and cuddled under the blankets. He popped in a DVD. "I'm going to change into pajama's, do you want something else to wear?" he asked. I nodded. He went into his closet and threw me out a t shirt and a pair of his Calvin Klein boxers. "You can change in the bathroom, if you want." I went into his bathroom, slid off my jeans and on his boxers. I threw my shirt on top of my jeans, leaving a pile of my clothes on his bathroom floor, and slid on his t-shirt. I put my hair into a messy bun, then walked out. Ed was laying in his bed. He was wearing a pair of plaid pants, a white tee, and his glasses. I smiled and climbed in bed next to him, 8 mile was playing on the tv.
"This is one of my favorite movies," I said, getting under the covers. "Mine too," he said with a smile. "Let's play the question game," He said, looking down at me. I smiled, "Okay."
"Favorite color?" He asked.
"Blue, favorite song you've ever written?"
"Thinking out loud, favorite band?"
"All time low, favorite animal?"
"Cats, if you could meet any celebrity who would it be?"
"Ed Sheeran, hahahaha. No, but really, Taylor Swift."
"Wow, you're so funny!"
"I know, I know. Musical inspiration?"
"Eminem, perfect life?"
"I'm already living the dream. I have a great job, I live in London, and I have a hot boyfriend. But my perfect life would be falling in love, getting married, having kids, financially stable, to be happy, ya know? Favorite tv show?"
"Yeah, I get it. I feel the same. Fresh Prince or Game of thrones. How many kids do you want?"
"It's negotiable, really. At least two though. But I really do want more. I want a big family. Favorite song right now?"
"Yeah, so do I. I've been listening to Budapest by George Ezra on repeat."
We talked for hours, but then I started to get sleepy around 12:30. "Getting sleepy, babe?" Ed asked. I nodded. He kissed my forehead and turned off the tv. He got situated in bed, then I slouched down too. He kissed my lips soft and slow. I kissed him back. "Thanks for another good night," He whispered. I smiled, "No, thank YOU." He kissed me again. "Goodnight, beautiful." I smiled, "Goodnight, babe."
The next morning I woke up at 9:30. I rolled over to see the bed empty beside me. I smelled pancakes and smiled. I got up and walked down the stairs and sat at the breakfast bar, quietly. Ed was dancing around the kitchen, singing, while cooking. He turned around and saw me and jumped. "Jesus! You scared the shit out of me!" He said, with a laugh. I laughed too. "Oops, sorry." He walked over and kissed me, "it's okay. Good morning, baby!" I smiled, "Good morning."
"I hope you're hungry," he said. I smiled, "Starving." He placed some pancakes on plates and poured two glasses of orange juice. "Come. Let's go sit on the deck." I smiled and followed him. It was a beautiful day. We at and looked out at the waterfall. "I dare you to jump in," I said. He rolled his eyes and ripped off his shirt. He ran and jumped in. "Can't back down from a dare. Your turn! I dare you to come in now." I was hesitant but I jumped in too. When I came up from underwater, Teddy took me into his arms and kissed me. "This is my favorite way to wake up," he whispered. I smiled and kissed him, "Mine too."
