Eddie POV
It's been a week since the Minotaur incident and I was doing a lot better. Everyone got over the event a week ago and life was moving on perfectly. Nina, KT and I have minor hunts here and there but nothing too serious. All of the relationships in the house were going great, Fabian has been flirting more with Nina and Patricia and I are...well actually I don't know what we are. We've gotten to know each other a lot better and now and then she'll kiss me on the lips or cheek. She confuses me. Anyways, right now I was sitting in the classroom waiting for Nina and KT to get in here.
"Hey," Nina greeted as she sat beside me at the three seated table.
"Hi," I smiled as KT entered the room.
"Have you guys gotten any alerts? It's strangely quiet," she commented, sitting on the other side of me.
"Shouldn't we be happy that nothing's going on?" I spoke confused. Patricia came through the door as I gave her a wink. Her cheeks grew red as she smiled.
"What was that?" Nina whispered to me. I shrugged as the bell rang.
"Ok so we are gonna use this class period as study hall," the teacher said as he entered. Every student flipped through their stuff, looking for what they want to work on. Nina placed a folded piece of paper in front of me as I opened it. The first two lines were from early today when I asked if Nina or KT have seen any Supernaturals. I looked at the third line to see delicate, neat handwriting written in red ink.
I really think Amber's getting a little suspicious -Nina
I looked over to see KT reading over my shoulder, she leaned over and wrote in purple ink.
We can't tell anyone. It'll put them in so much more danger. -KT
Nina nodded in agreement as I glanced up at the teacher to make sure he wasn't watching. That's when we kinda got off topic.
If I tell you guys something you promise not to tell -Eddie
Promise -KT
Yea I promise too -Nina
You know how we promised not to go chasing anyone and not to tell? -Eddie
Yea -Nina & KT
I think I broke a rule. I think...I...like Patricia -Eddie
I watched my two best friends' faces as they grew wide with smiles. Both of their eyes were dancing with happiness as Nina scribbled down an answer.
I KNEW IT! -Nina
ASK HER OUT! -KT
But the mis-
Nina then snatched the piece of paper from me and wrote down in all caps.
SHUSH! NO! Who cares about the mission, this is the first girl I've seen you fall for and I've known you since we were all 3-4 -Nina
I agree, I mean I take this job so seriously but your life comes first -KT
But what if Mr. Felix finds out and what if everyone in the house founds out? -Eddie
What's so bad about the house knowing that you like/are/will be dating Patricia? -KT
She's so slow...
I meant what if Mr. Felix finds out I like/am dating Patricia and the house finds out our mission? -Eddie
We'll deal with it as it comes -Nina
Yea, just worry about now, not the future problems -KT
I let out a sigh. Now I was nervous to make a move, let's just say Nina and KT are very obvious and protective when it comes to me and girls. I worked on my math as Nina rubbed her eye.
"What's wrong?" I whispered as she shrugged.
"My head's been hurting since last week," she told me.
"Maybe you got a concussion," I told her as she mumbled a probably.
I entered the student lounge to see Patricia sitting on the couch scrolling through her phone. I smiled as I grabbed my phone.
To: Patricia :)
What's got your attention?
Patricia smiled as her phone beeped.
From: Patricia :)
Something more interesting than you ;)
To: Patricia :)
Really? Well at least I can make you smile unlike your "interesting" thing.
Patricia looked up from her phone as her eyes met mine. I gave her a smirk as I put my phone back in my pocket.
"Hey," I spoke, sitting down next to her.
"What do you want?" she rolled her eyes but her lips still broke into a smile.
"If I ask you something, you promise to say yes?" I asked nervously.
"Will it make you leave me alone?" she questioned.
"For now," I answered jokingly.
"Great. Ok, I'll say yes," she gave in.
"Go out on a date with me," I demanded lightly.
"What?" her eyes were wide and confused but also an unknown emotion. Thrill?
"You promised," I reminded her, "See you at seven." I gave her a wink as I got up. As I headed out the door, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"You're going on a date with Patricia!" Nina shouted happily.
"Yes, now shut up," we were currently walking back to the house. KT left us to go talk with Joy so it was just Nina and I.
"I'm so happy for you!" Nina exclaimed, giving me a hug. I rolled my eyes. I've always been super close with Nina. She's like my little sister.
"You are way too over-happy. Knowing our luck, we'll get a hunt," I said the truth.
"Then KT and I will deal with it. Have some fun, we owe you remember," she winked, skipping away. They do owe me.
Patricia POV
I strolled down a walkway, heading to Anubis. Wearing a giddy smile, I looked at the ground as I walked.
"What's got you so happy?" Joy questioned as she passed me.
"Nothing," I answered as she gave me a "really?" look. Instead of pestering me more she dropped it and skipped off. What was I gonna wear to my date tonight? I thought out of nowhere. My stomach filled with butterflies at the word date. I have a date with Eddie tonight. But seriously what do you wear on a date?
Come on Patricia you can do this. There's no need to be nervous or scared or worried. Deep breaths. I pushed opened the door, my head hanging in shame.
"I never thought I'd say this but... Amber can you help me get ready for my date?" I sighed in defeat. I never thought I'd stoop to this level but hey I was desperate.
"You have a date? With Eddie?" Amber shouted.
"No Fabian, yes Eddie," I replied sarcastically. She let out an excited shriek before pushing me into a chair.
"Which one?" she asked, holding up two pink dresses.
"Which one to barf on or?" I laughed as she gave me a glare.
"Fine, we'll go casual," she sighed as she left for my room. I examined myself in the mirror and had to admit I looked good. Amber curled my hair and made it look controlled messy. Then on my eyes all she put on was a thin line of eyeliner giving me a cat eye. I fixed my glossy lips as Amber came back in.
"What are you doing?" she asked with confusion.
"You applied my lip gloss like a clown," I answered as she gaped at me. I shrugged, taking the outfit from her. I went into the bathroom to change and I had to admit, I looked good. A pair of dark skinny jeans clung to me with a teal tank top that had an infinity sign with the word love in it. It's kind of ironic since this is a first date. Anyways, over my tank top I had, one of my many, black leather jackets and my favorite pair of shoes, my black heeled booties with chains on them. To finish the look, I had a black, velvet choker with a heart charm, engraved with flower and heart designs, on it.
"How do I look? Be honest!" I spoke as I entered Amber's room.
"Perfect!" she squealed happily.
"Good cause I wasn't going to change," I muttered as she glared at me playfully. Nina and KT entered the room as they looked me up and down.
"Getting all dressed up for bed or do you have a date?" KT questioned knowingly.
"A date," I smiled.
"Well you look perfect. Eddie's heart will defiantly stop at the sight of you, even though it already does," Nina giggled as I rolled my eyes.
"I'm nervous," I uttered softly.
"Well you better go down because he's waiting," KT told me as I got up.
"Now you're making me nervous," I whispered as I approached the door.
"Now?" KT raised her eyebrows as I laughed. I waved once more before heading downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs, Eddie stood with a single rose in his hand, leaning against the banister. Once I got half way down the stairs, Eddie turned to look at me and gave a dazzling smile.
"Aren't you all dressed up," he spoke playfully as I punched his arm.
"Shut up," I muttered as my cheeks grew hot. Why does he have this effect on me?
"This is for you," he said, handing me the rose. It was actually a really pretty rose, the outer petals were a dark blue and, as the petals went to the center, turned a light purple.
"Why thank you, how romantic," I teased as I went to the kitchen to get a vase.
"You know me, Mr. Romantic," he smiled as I put the rose in a vase and turned to him.
"So where are we going?" I asked curiously.
"Can't you take surprises?" he ignored my question.
"Not when it comes to you," I replied before grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the front door. He laughed as I opened the door.
"I'm taking you out to dinner."
"So, how do you like England so far?" I asked as I sipped on my drink. He looked up at me, surprised by my sudden question.
"It's ok. There's things here I like that I could never find back home," he smiled and somehow I knew he was talking about me.
"What's it like in America?" I inquired, leaning my head on my hand.
"It's the normal, I guess. I mean it's not that different beside the fact that you all drink tea and wear uniforms," he shrugged.
Eddie POV
Patricia continued to ask me countless questions and I couldn't help but smile. She doesn't like being in the dark for anything. When she asked me if I've ever had a job, I froze a bit and gulped down my drink slowly, trying to buy me time.
"Yea, I guess I've had a job but it wasn't much and I don't talk about it often," I glided pass the question without directly lying.
"What'd you do? At the job I mean," her eyes were filled with fascination as she watched me.
"You know, deal with grouchy customers to the point where we never see them again, train in new techniques, you know the normal," I grinned at my use of clever words as she nodded, not understanding the true meaning. Our food came as I automatically digged in.
"Pig," Patricia rolled her eyes as she took a bite of her food.
"You know you love me," I mocked with a snarky smile. Her smile faded a bit as she got quiet. Not wanting to push her, I didn't question her about her actions. Half way through our meal, my phone rang as I reached into my pocket to get it.
"I'll be right back," I told her as I got up and headed towards the bathrooms.
"What? What could you possibly need that's important enough to interrupt my date with Yacker?" I hissed into the phone.
"Sorry to interrupt but where is your harpoon gun?" Nina questioned hastily.
"What? Why do you need my harpoon gun?" I spoke with confusion.
"Oh you know the usual, just...studying?" Nina lied as I rolled my eyes.
"You're such a liar, seriously what's going on?" I inquired impatiently.
"It's just a little cyclops incident," she replied innocently.
"You guys can't take that on alone," I said into the phone as someone gave me a look as they passed by me.
"Eddie, it's fine. Enjoy your date."
'I'm coming, right now and you can't stop me," I snapped before hanging up. I really didn't want to leave my date with Patricia but I didn't want Nina or KT to get hurt. I got back to the table as Patricia looked up at me with her perfect eyes.
"Hey, what's going on?" she asked with concern. Why does she let her walls down around me? What have I done to deserve that?
"I have to go, an emergency came up. I promise if it wasn't important I wouldn't leave you for the world," I sputtered out. She sighed and twirled a piece of hair between her fingers.
"Am I going to regret this?" she asked.
"Probably," I answered honestly. She chuckled a bit before smiling and nodding.
"Go," she spoke softly.
"You're the best! I'll see you at home!" I exclaimed, kissing the top of her head before throwing down some money and running out of the restaurant.
