Thinking Out Loud // Ed Sheeran

Chapter 39.

Ed's POV

"Ahhh, so you must be Ed Sheeran, my daughters boyfriend." The man says sticking his hand out for me to take. I can tell that he's actually trying to freak me out, which in some ways bothers me.

"Yeah, nice to meet you Mr. Jane." I reply with a friendly smile while shaking his hand. "Meredith has been telling me so much about you."I say trying to make conversation. Truthfully she has, but I never said any of it was good.

"Like what?" He asks obviously knowing that Meredith was probably telling me about how horrible of a father he was. For a secondmy eyes flicker over to her only to see her plading face. I'm not going to tell him how scared his own daughter was of seeing him.

"Just how she always thought you were really strong." I manage out. Being on stage all the time helps when I'm nervous, now I can hide being nervous really will. To be honest, I feel like he's just here judging me.

"Here, I'll show you to your room." Jade says escorting them upstairs making me sigh in relief.

"He likes you." Meredith whispers in my ear knowing that they're still close enough to hear us. I snort out a laugh while the two of us sit down on the couch.

"What makes you think that? The evil glare in his eyes, or the way he almost crushed my hand when he shook it?" I laugh quietly pulling her closer in my arms.

"Well, he might seem really scary but one thing I know about him is when he hates or likes someone. Trust me, if he didn't like you, he would have said it right there in front of everyone." She replies while streatching her arms out for the remote which sits on the coffee table right in front of us.

I simply laugh at her failed attempts of getting it. "You're so lazy, Mere." I say.

"I know." She smiles. We're three feet away from the coffee table and layed out on the couch, and she wont even get up to get the remote. "Oliver!" She yells through the house still not getting up. Oliver jumps into the room looking frantically.

"What?! Is someone hurt!?" He yells looking for a problem.

"No, can you get me the remote?" She asks completly seriously. Rolling his eyes, he stomps over and hands the remote to her. "Thanks Oli, I owe you."

"You sure do." I enjoy just sitting here and watching what Meredith does. It amazes me how her brain works in ways that normal people's brains doesn't work.

"Why you staring at me?" She asks in a gangster voice making my smile grow.

"Just thinking, Mere." I reply looking away from her and back to the TV.

"Want to think out loud?" She asks making herself laugh so hard, she falls off the couch. "I'm so sorry, that was literally the worst joke I've ever said and I can't apologize enough for it because it was just that bad." I love when she ramlbes.

Meredith's POV

"'Oh, I have news for you." I say rolling over on the couch so Ed and I are now face-to-face.

"Yes?" He asks looking away from the tv, and to me. I smile before contnuing.

"Well, Shannon and my dad are engaged." I say waiting for his reaction. "And I'm going to be a sister."

"Oh god Meredith." Is all he says making me frown, why is he upset? "I can just imaging the chaos a little Meredith running around could cause." He says making my smile come back. Even at the most serious times, he can still joke and be funny.

"It's going to be the cutest little baby ever." I squeal out almost falling off the couch once again.

(A/N Not as cute as a Merebear baby *Winky face*)

"Well, I'm happy for you and for them. Maybe when we go to visit, we can babysite him-her-it." Ed says. I role back over to face the Tv.

"Sounds good to me." I laugh just as Ed's phone begins ringing.

"Hello?" He answers. "Yeah, hi Amy." He pauses. "What?! But that's Meredith's competition, can we reschedule?" He pauses again and I look over my shoulder watching intently. "Fine, but I'm not going to be happy there." He says before hanging up.

"What was that?" I ask.

"Amy scheduled an interview in two days, during your competition." He says making me frown. "I really wanted to see you dance, especially to that song-" He says just before I cut him off.

"It's fine Teddy, really. I know you wated to come, but there's nothing you can do. I get it." I say untruthfully. Yes, I know it's not his fault. But I don't get it, why does Amy have to ruin everything?!

Ed's POV

Oh my god, I'm so mean. I made Amy call me and pretend that she was setting up and interview on Meredith's competition so I could surprise her, but I really am mean.

This will all be worth it in two days. "Hi, guys." Mr. Jane and Shannon says walking downstairs. I kind of feel awkward cuddling Meredith in front of her dad, but she doesn't seem to care at all.

"Do you care if we just order in some pizza? I don't feel like going out." Jasmine asks sitting on the single seater as Shannon and Mr.Jane sit on the love seat.

I love how Meredith and Jasmine have gotten along today. I'm sure they'll be some bumps in the road, but I hate when Meredith has to get hate. I'm grateful that most of the fans love Meredith. Of course there will be people that don't like her, or maybe just don't like me, but either way. I'm happy more people do like her.

"Yeah, that's fine. We're quite tired from the long flight anyways." Shannon answers. I know Meredith loves pizza, so maybe that will take her mond of me 'not being able to go'.

***********************************************************************************I found your hairband on my bedroom floor, the only evidence that you've been here before. And I don't get waves of missing you anymore, they're more like tsunami tides in my eyes.

Guess the song(I'm running out of Teddy songs!)
