Deal

Sleep

Edward drove me home and he got out some extra outfits from his boot.
“You know how crazy I can get,” Edward told me when he got a T-shirt and some extra black skinny jeans from the boot, “I’m always messing around playing sports or stuff with my friends so it’s better for me to have some extra clothes ready.”
I led Edward inside and I helped him clean his wound. I tried my best not to hurt him and be as gentle as I could manage, but I could tell it hurt him as he was biting hard on his lower lip all the while.
I bandaged his arm and let him have a shower in my bathroom. He changed into his fresh clothes and threw his ruined clothes away. Then I took a shower too, to clear my thought and I felt a lot better after the shower. I put on my comfy T-shirt and shorts. I walked downstairs to find Edward sitting in front of the TV which was showing some random shows, but he had a blank look on his face.
I sat down next to him and snuggled up to him, resting my head on his shoulder. He put his hand on my thigh and I stroked the bandage on his arm softly.
“Thank you again,” I looked up and pecked his lips, but he intensify the kiss and we ended up making out.
After the hot make out session I rested my head back on Edward’s shoulder, our hands linked and resting on my thigh.
“(Yn), tell me,” Edward suddenly said, “Why were you so hesitant after our kiss in the cinema?”
“Because I was scared,” I told him honestly, “You seemed like you’re not someone who would commit fully to a relationship. I did have feelings for you, but I was scared that you would break my heart…”
“And you’re not scared anymore?” he asked, and kissed my head.
“Yes,”
“You don’t have to worry about that,” he said, and I could hear him smiling from his tone, “You’re the first girl I really have feelings for. I won’t make you fall; even if I do I’m always going to catch you. I will love you no matter what.”
I felt touched, “That’s so sweet of you Edward; I love you, and I won’t doubt you anymore,”
“I love you too,”
I looked at the time. It was already eleven o’clock, “Don’t you have to go home Edward?” I asked, although I did not want him to go.
“I’ll stay if you want me to; Mum knows that I’m coming home late,”
“Of course I want you to,” I immediately said.
And we just stayed snuggled up on the sofa, enjoying the peace.

We must have fallen asleep; when I woke up I heard my parents were back. I kept my eyes closed.
I heard they came into the room, “Awww, look at them! They look so cute,” I heard Mum say.
Dad made some noises that sounded like he agreed with Mum, and Edward stirred beside me. I noticed that our hands were still linked, and my head was still on his shoulder.
“Oh, hi Mr. and Mrs. (your last name),” I heard Edward mumbled. I opened my eyes to see him rubbing his eyes. So adorable.
“Hey kids,” Dad smiled, but then his expression suddenly changed. His eyes zeroed on Edward’s arm. Oh no.
“What’s happened to your arm?” he asked Edward suspiciously, “You didn’t get into a fight, did you?”
Edward froze, and looked at me, asking for help. I looked at Mum and she seemed well shocked and confused.
“Well – erm,” I tried to say something, “There was thing gang—”
“WHAT?” Dad shouted, pissed off, “You fought with a gang?”
“Dad!” I protested.
“Just let her finish okay!” Mum tried to calm Dad down. He shook his head and stared at us.
“Well,” I began, “This gang tried to hurt me and—”
Dad interrupted again, “You said WHAT? I thought I asked you to take good care of her Edward?”
“LET ME FINISH DAD!” I yelled. Dad calmed down, but his face was as red as a tomato.
“It’s not Edward’s fault okay! He tried to protect me and then this gang had knifes and that’s why he got hurt! You should be thankful to Edward!” I said.
“But still he made you go out!” Dad said, angrily, “Or you wouldn’t have got into this!”
“Calm down Dad!” Mum pulled on Dad’s arm, “No one wanted it to happen and he even got hurt because of your daughter! (Yn) is right!”
Dad looked away and breathed heavily. Then he turned to us, “I guess you’re right, sorry kids,”
“It’s okay,” Edward smiled weakly at him.
“But did you tell the police?” Dad asked.
“No,” I shook my head, “This other gang came and lured them away, and Edward hates the hospital, and I do not want to bring this up again, so we didn’t bother to call the police.”
“But they tried to hurt you!” Dad said.
“I didn’t get hurt, and we’re alright with it; Dad, I don’t want to tell the whole thing again and I don’t want to see those people again… Can we please forget about it?” I pleaded.
Dad thought for a moment, “If you insist… Okay then,”
I felt Edward relaxed beside me, just like me.
“Well Edward,” Mum said to Edward, “It’s so late – almost one o’clock now – if you want to you can stay for the night?”
I could tell Edward liked this idea from his shinning eyes, “Sure, thank you Mrs. (your last name), I’ll just call my mum,”
Edward called his mum and his mum was alright with it. He even told his mum about the incident and his mum took it well. Why couldn’t my dad be like that?
I yawned when Edward disconnected the phone, “Let’s go to bed,” I said.
“Edward, you can sleep with (Yn), I trust you,” Mum winked at Edward. I looked up to see Edward grinning.
“Are you kidding me?” Dad looked as if his eyes would fall out.
“Dad!” Mum said disapprovingly, “What can they do with us here, seriously! And he just saved your daughter’s life! Let them be!”
Dad seemed unwilling, but let it go anyway. We said goodnight to my parents and went up to my room. We got ready for bed and Edward got into the bed after me. He wrapped his arms around me and I buried my head into his neck, inhaling his sweet scent.
“As much as I hate those guys, I’m glad that they made my deal work,” Edward said.
“And as much as I hate those guys, this is the one of the best days of my life,” I said.
“So I can stay even after the deadline?” Edward asked.
“Did you hurt your head too?” I teased him, “Of course you can! Are you saying that you don’t want to and you want to quit?”
He kissed my forehead, “I will stay as long as you want me; I won’t go until you order me away,”
“You’re so cheesy,”
“And you like it,”
“I didn’t say that!”
“I can tell,”
“Just go to sleep would you?”
Edward captured my lips in his and gave me one long and romantic kiss before turning off my bedside lamp, “Goodnight, love,”
“Goodnight,” I kissed his nose.
I stayed close to Edward and listened to his steady heartbeat. It was like music to my ears. Edward stroked my back softly.
A few minutes later I heard someone opened the door. It must be Dad checking on us. A few seconds later the door closed again, as we were clearly behaving ourselves.
I fell asleep in Edward’s arms. And before I lost conscious I realized that Chloe was right – something did happen on this date, and we did kiss in the cinema, and the most important of all was that I was not able to text her about what happened tonight as I was kind of busy sleeping with my love beside me.
