Running Towards A Place

Some Kind Of Love

Brandon's POV

Before it was too late, I decided to make some dinner. I wasn't particularly hungry but having only eaten a mere bowl of cereal for breakfast and the sandwich and custard all day, I felt it was a need. Scanning the fridge for ingredients, the best option was chicken and rice. I glanced at my watch, it was 11pm. I figured I'd make a portion up for Eddie for whenever she wanted it. The thought of doing this for the rest of my life, satisfied me, it was comforting. I would work my fingers to the bone for Eddie.

When I finished eating, I decided to head up to bed myself. Life on tour made me used to strange eating and sleeping schedules. Eddie was still fast asleep so, as quietly as I could manage, I slipped into bed beside her. I laid myself down, my back flat against the cool sheets. Moments later I felt Eddie uneasily roll over, draping an arm over my chest. My heart melted instantly.

I managed to sleep for a good few hours before I awoke to the sound of someone pottering about in the bathroom. Groggy and disoriented I looked at the time and realised Eddie wasn't in bed. It was 3am. Intrigued as to what she was up to at this hour I went to track her down. Pulling on a sweater, I padded my way down the hall to the source of the noise. Cautiously, I peered through the crack in the door. Eddie was leaning against the sink, up to something.
"Hey, what are you doing up?" I broke the silence as I entered the room, speaking softly, trying not to make her jump.
"Oh Brandon!" She gasped as I inevitably caught her by surprise. I squinted through the bright light, trying to configure it all.
"Darling, what are you doing?" I probed , trying to make sense of it all.
"I can't have a shower or a bath yet but I wanted to try do something" she shrugged as if the answer was obvious. I nodded, it was now making sense. She wasn't doing a very good job though bless her. She had the sink full of warm water and half of her hair was wet but she was still fully clothed so I don't know how that one works.
"Can I help you?" I asked even though I wasn't going to take no for an answer.
"Yes please" she nodded enthusiastically.
"Ok" I began, one hand on my hip, the other stroking my chin, "let's sit you on the stool near the shower" I began, grabbing the little stool from the corner and placing it in the shower area. Luckily I had a wet room so it made life much easier. "You sit here and I'll hold the shower" I explained as she sat herself on the stool. "We'll do you bit by bit" I nodded, earning a childish snigger from Eddie.
"Oh will we?" She chuckled.
"Child" I responded playfully as I grabbed the necessary toiletries from the shelf. I switched the water on and Eddie got herself ready. Despite being in an intimate relationship with her I felt uneasy seeing her begin to remove her clothes in this situation.
"Bran?" I heard her gentle voice call, I looked up, "you can look, you know" she smirked slightly, noticing my awkwardness.
"I know I just, I respect your privacy" I shrugged trying to find an excuse. Then, I felt her dainty hand on my cheek, she turned my gaze to her and suddenly any apprehension evaporated.
"You can only see my boobs Brandon, it's not like you haven't seen them before is it?" She sassed, as I snapped out of it. I giggled at the thought.
"I mean, I've definitely seen them before andddd felt them before" I joked, feeling a confidence take over me.
"Then get on with it" Eddie chuckled and that's exactly what we did. Making jokes and inappropriate comments the entire time, we eventually got her washed and freshened up, as best we could. It was 4:30am by time we settled back down on the bed.
"Like the view do you?" I asked, feeling someone's eyes on me. I was laid on my front on the bed, arms folded in front of me and my head resting on top. I was just dozing back to sleep when I noticed where's eddies focus was. I was still in my hoodie and I only had my boxers covering my modesty.
"Mmm" she nodded, not removing her eyes from my butt. "It's a good view" she added, snapping her eyes to meet mine.
"I should start charging you for that, I'll make a bomb" I joked, pushing myself up onto my knees so that my face was inches from hers.
"What's the charge then mister?" She responded playfully, staring me dead in the eye.
"Hmmm" I paused, conscious of the fact my lips were now millimetres from hers. "3 kisses" I nodded, proud of my response. Without hesitation she planted 3 lazy, pecks on my lips. "Eh nooo!" I denied her attempt, "proper kisses, no pathetic pecks, nice long smooches" I clarified sassily. She rolled her eyes before trying again. With each kiss the tension and passion grew, so much so that the final kiss, I bit her bottom lip in frustration.
"Hot and bothered?" Eddie mocked, smirking at me as the tip of her tongue ran over her swollen lips. This girl never seizes to amaze me.
