Thinking Out Loud // Ed Sheeran

Chapter 36.

Can I just point out that I am sitting on the toilet while writing this chapter...don't judge, because the real Meredith sent me a snapchat while she was sitting on the toilet once.

Meredith's POV

"Well that was fun." I cheer as Ed and I walk hand in hand back across the street to the car. Kissing Ed on the cheek, he opens my door for me which I gladly step in before he runs around to the other side to hop in.

"I'm surprised only like three people asked for your picture here." I laugh just as the car starts up.

"Well I have two things to say to that. First, maybe people didn't want to disturb our romantic evening. Second, they asked for your picture as well, like both of us." He smiles finally being able to pull out on the street from all the trafic. "It's not just Ed Sheeran anymore, it's Ed and Meredith."

"You mean Meredith and Ed." I correct leaning back into the chair making my point proven.

"Well... I think it sounds better like Ed and Mere, not Mere and Ed." He says obviously wanting his name first but still not trying to upset me at the same time.

"No. Mere and Ed sounds cute, like Bonnie and Clyde. The girls name comes first." I say crossing my arms over my chest. Sighing in defeat, he replies.

"Fine, Mere and Ed. But only because you had such a good exapmle." He huffs rolling his eyes as we turn another corner. "how many days to your competition now?" He asks changing the subject.

"Four, my dad texted me saying he'll be here tomorrow night and Jade said she'll coe with me to pick them up." I answer pulling out my phone to check from any texts from my mom.

"Why can't I come?" He asks pouting like a puppy dog making my heart beat faster at how adorable he looks.

"Because I thought it would be best if you and my father met in a more domestic enviorment. Like the airport might have been a brief tiny meeting where you two wouldn't be able to really get to know each other which could make him get the wrong impression on you, while as being able to have your own time and space to meet each other could lead to a better result." I answer remembeing what I had thought of erlier when my dad told me he was coming tomorrow.

"You over think way to much, Mere." He laughs flicking his eyes to me, then back to the road again.

"Well, that's just the way my brain works Teddy." I laugh as we pull back into the driveway of the house. I jump out of the car and hop up to the front door eager to charge my almost dead phone.

"Wait, Merebear. I didn't give you your present yet." Ed says coming right behind me before I open the door with both of his arms behind his back.

"What is it?" I ask exitedly turning to him and making my back face the door. Before I know it, Ed pullls a large teddy bear out from behind his back. It's head if bigger than mine, whith light brown fur and an orange ribbon around its neck.
