chapter 5 - awkward

TW : mature language

As I walk towards Eddie's van, he gets in front of me and opens the door, and closing it behind me as I get in.

"I'm sorry it's a mess." Eddie said, moving things around all over the van before driving off.

"Soo ..where are you taking me, Munson?" I flash him a small smile, to seem nice. He doesn't answer.

"Eddie?" I look at him confused.

"Oo...sorry to say but I can't tell you. It's a surprise Hollywood!" He jerks his head towards me, grinning a huge smile.

"Don't call me that." I mutter, turning to look out the window.

"How about princess then?" He said, smirking, as I gave him a cold look.

"Why did you go so over the top?" Eddie looked at me confused.
"You showed up at my window after I rejected you, then gave me flowers at school." He turned to me with a straight face that turned into a smile.

"Well usually when I like someone...I stay quiet. And I knew that wasn't gonna get me anywhere with the new girl." he smiled. He was very bold for what he did, but I'm sure it wasn't gonna change anything.

"Even after what I said in the woods?" He stared at me for a moment.
"Lydia, I don't judge people unless they judge me. I may not know what it's like to be new in the middle of the year, but I know what being a freaks like." The van went silent, as we drove on for what felt like an eternity.

Soon, we came to a stop. We were at a drive in movie theater. He backed in the parking space just so we could open the back doors and watch the movie laying down in the back.

I layed on the blankets in the back, with Eddie next to me, but he kept his distance, knowing I'd probably hate it.

About 45 minutes into the movie, it began to get really cold. I shivered, trying to stay warm under the blanket, and Eddie noticed. He took off and threw his jacket at me, making it awkward for me, but I was cold and too focused on the movie.

I put on his jacket, zipping it up, but it basically fit me the same way a baggy dress would. I could tell he was smirking at the thought of me wearing it, but I really didn't care at the moment.

After the movie ended it was 11 pm and way too late for me to go home without getting in trouble.

"Fuck!" I said, looking at the watch on my wrist.

"Just stay the night with me, I mean your already screwed." He smiled.

He was right, but I barely knew him and this was only our first date, in which I still don't like him any different than before. I nodded my head knowing I'd be bored out of my mind if I went home anyways, and just to be screamed at.

Soon, we drove off to Eddie's trailer, and I don't know what changed within the last 10 minutes, but I realized, he isn't bad at all.
He was sweet to take me on a date, and to be a gentleman throughout the whole date. Plus even offered for me to stay with him.

I smiled at him while he was paying attention to the road, but quickly looked away, knowing he noticed I was looking.

Soon, we pulled into the dirt driveway next to his trailer, as we hopped out and both went to his room.

"My uncle isn't home so you don't have to worry about that... but you can take my bed and I'll be on the couch if you need me." He said, showing me about his room.

"I need clothes.."  I nervously and awkwardly said, looking up at him. He threw me a hellfire shirt but couldn't find pants that would fit me. I didn't worry though, I'd just sleep with no pants on since I'll be alone in his bed, and the shirt fit me like a dress.

I closed the door of his room and changed, crawling under his covers in his bed. I would say, he has a pretty good taste in music based off the posters in his room.

I tried to fall asleep but couldn't. I opened the door and walked out to the living room, seeing Eddie on the couch.
He shot up and looked at me. He was shirtless and had baggy sweatpants on. I will admit, he had a great body and his tattoos matched him perfectly.

"I can't sleep...can you be next to me? I- it's just I've never slept alone at a guys house before..especially-"   I was cut off by Eddie getting up and smirking.

"Are you asking me to sleep with you?" He grinned.

"Forget it." I said, completely changing my expression and walking away. He followed and hopped in next to me, making me have a surprising look on my face.

I lay down on my side, with Eddie behind me, facing my way. I still couldn't sleep so I backed up a bit, getting closer to him.

Not long after, I felt his arm creep around my waist, basically holding me against him. Our skin was touching, but I wasn't complaining. He dug his face into the crook of my neck, already asleep.

I soon fell asleep too.
