Drabble #33: Heart Twins

Eddie

Today was Valentines Day! And I was planning on surprising Patricia, with a bunch of romantic stuff. I was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, chocolate and flowers in hand. I know what you're thinking right now: total sap.

"Sorry sorry!" Patricia mumbles, coming down the stairs, almost tripping down the last step.

"Careful there." I tease. "I believe these are for you." Her eyes light up as I reveal my gifts. She takes them, then kisses me softly.

"Thank you."

"Oh believe me, this is only the start."

"And that worries me..." She jokes.

"Ah, come on..." I say, tossing my arm around her an heading off to school.

After first class, I pull gift number two out of my locker: a charm bracelet, each charm having a different cute saying. I walk over to her and Joy. "Oh hey Eddie, I'll just be going..." She mumbles, leaving the two of us alone.

"And gift number two awaits." I say, pulling it out, which is wrapped in tissue paper.

"What? Eddie-"

"Just open it." I cut her off.

"Eddie I'm not-"

"Yacker, stop yacking!" I laugh.

"Fine..." She groans. She opens it, and just says: "Wow. Thanks Eddie."

"Are you okay? You look different..." I say, confused by her reaction.

"I've been trying to tell you-"

"You know what? Never mind... I get when I'm not wanted..." I say, storming off.

After school, I go up to Patricia's room to apologize for earlier. "Listen Patricia, about what I said today-"

"What did you say?" She mumbles.

"You know what, it doesn't matter, it's just I'm sorry. By the way, how did you like your gift?"

"Which one?" She replies.

"Ya know, the bracelet...?" I ask curiously.

"What bracelet?"

"Patricia are you okay?" I ask quickly.

"Me, I'm fine. You on the other hand, I'm not so sure about... What's up?" Her eyes soften.

"I don't know... Maybe I'm just tired?" I sigh.

"Come on, let's go downstairs." She suggests, leading the way. Sure enough, five minutes later, Trudy calls for dinner. We all take our seats, and I notice that there is an extra chair.

"Listen up everyone! Patricia's sister, Piper, is staying here for a few days. Make sure she feels welcome!" Trudy says cheerfully, while Alfie looks awkward, and my jaw just drops.

"I tried to tell you earlier Eddie." She smirks, siting next to KT. Patricia looks at me weird.

"I got you and Piper mixed up... Why didn't you tell me she was coming?" I ask, sounding a bit rude.

"Whoa, hold up Slimeball... I was going to tell you this morning, but we got caught up in the moment, ya know?" She whispers back.

"I'm sorry..." I mumble.

"It's okay, besides, Happy Valentines Day." She smirks, as we lean in to kiss.

Hey! I don't know what to say... Hmmm... Lets get to 200 reviews! Chapter 40 if not sooner? Yeah... Question:

Mine was Patrome, in season one. I really wanted Patricia to get a boyfriend:) but now it's Peddie all the way baby! R&R! ;3
