So I wasn't planning on writing any more tonight because I was going to have a movie night with my best friend but she had to work so…I guess I'll give you another chapter :D

P.S. The movie Hot Rod is the funniest thing I have seen in a LONG time…it has a Napoleon Dynamite feel to it but WAY better xD

My brain just exploded. I swear to Aslan it just blew into a million pieces inside my skull. No way in this world did he just say what I thought he did. It was impossible.

But my heart was pounding harder than I ever thought possible and it was shouting at my little brain pieces to get up and get a hold of themselves. He had said it!

Edmund was looking at me with an expression more afraid than a kitten seeing a dog for the first time. He was holding his breath, I could tell. Oh my gosh, I had to say something! What should I say? What should I do?

"I…I think I may…possibly love you too." My voice said. Wait, what? Stop it, mouth, think about this!

Edmund let out the air he had been holding a shuddering breath and his eyes lit up brighter than I ever saw them. They literally sparkled with happiness!

He wrapped me in his arms and pulled me into the tightest, but most wonderful hug I had ever felt. It was that moment that my brain caught up and agreed wholeheartedly with my heart and my big mouth. It felt…right. It felt…like it was always meant to be this way from the first moment I met him. I smiled and put my arms around his neck, pulling him closer than I ever thought possible.

"I thought…for a moment…" Edmund's voice in my ear was suddenly much more sweet to my senses than ever, "I thought you were going to…I don't know, but I didn't think you would say that!"

"I didn't think I would either," I admitted, although the time when I had felt that seemed like an eternity ago. I felt like we had always been this way.

We leaned back and it was like our minds were connected because I knew exactly what he was going to do when he brushed back my hair. He threaded his fingers into my hair, holding the back of my head up and kissed me. This kiss, however, was different than ever before. He wasn't firm, rough, or tense this time, he was confident, careful and slow, taking the time to trace my jaw and collarbone at the same time, causing sparks to shoot through every inch of me. I returned the kiss with newfound enthusiasm I hadn't had before. This was what my people were missing out on with their low opinions on love and meaningful relationships, and I had never imagined these kinds of feelings existed.

When we finally broke apart, he pulled me back down onto the bed with him and leaned on his elbow to look at me. His fingers continued to run through my hair and he just stared at me with a look of total peace on his ridiculously pleased face. I wondered if I looked the same way.

"Wow, didn't see this coming," I said, breaking the silence that surrounded us with a weak attempt at humour.

"I didn't either," Edmund said, grinning at my remark, "But…I always kind of hoped…"

I grabbed his hair, not in a mean way, and pulled him closer to me. I felt like…I couldn't NOT be touching him in some way. Like we were connected.

"What are we going to tell the others?" I whispered, giggling into his ear. It must have tickled because he stuck his shoulder up to his ear and laughed.

"We don't tell them," he replied, his voice mischievous, "Not yet anyway. Let's let it…settle first."

"Good idea," I admitted. I couldn't wait to see Lucy's face though. She would probably squeal and faint. She had been right all along.

"You better go to your own room now," Edmund whispered.

"Why?" I asked, running my thumb over his ear.

"Because I love you. You know…a LOT."

I giggled and rolled away from him.

"Oh, you need to get a hold of yourself…NO WAIT! I take that statement back!"

We both burst into more of that hyena-like laughter and, in our merriment, rolled off the bed and landed hard on the floor, which only made us laugh harder.

"Can't. Breathe." I wheezed as I tried to stand up.

Edmund just continued to giggle (yes, men can giggle) on the floor and was too inconvenienced to even offer me a hand.

"G..goodnight, Ed," I tried to get my voice to stop shaking from the laughter and I made my way to the door with wobbling steps.

The next morning at breakfast, I took a seat right next to Edmund at the table. Lucy and Susan were across from us and Peter was at the end to Edmund's left side.

Edmund greeted me with a grin and I gave his leg a squeeze under the table. I smiled at the way his eyes widened for just a moment before concealing his shock.

It didn't escape Susan's notice however.

"You alright, Edmund?" she asked.

"Yep, just fine, why do you ask?" he replied to his sister, perfectly convincing liar that he was.

"You just looked funny for a second when Natani sat down," Susan replied.

Peter's eyes snapped over to fix us in his gaze.

"What?" I asked indignantly, "Why are you all being so weird?"

That was effective. They all looked back down at their plates, not wanting to seem like they were suspicious. Well…Lucy didn't last long.

"Natani, you're blushing," she observed.

It was true. I was blushing from my neck up! Why? Oh, maybe because Edmund's hand had found its way to MY leg this time and he had slid it quickly down my inner thigh. Stupid jerk!

"Oh? I…uh, it's just kind of hot in here," I lied, not as well as Edmund had.

"It's only about 56 degrees in here…" Susan said slowly.

"Yeah well, uh, my blood is especially warm." Could I possibly be any more obvious?

"I bet," Peter's voice was filled with amusement and he had his eyes locked with Edmund's. But Edmund stared right back, almost as if daring him to make an accusation. I would have been convinced if I had been Peter. But brothers seemed to have a way to read the other brother's mind and Peter just grinned as he stuffed a piece of bacon in his mouth.

Breakfast went like this the whole time. Amused looks exchanged among Peter, Susan and Lucy and squeezes, rubs, and pokes between Edmund and I. I was having fun and I'm sur everyone else was too.

I think maybe this "love" thing could be fun.
