Master Of Puppets : Eddie Munson

Chapter 5 : The Beginning

(Heather's pov)

   I never truly put my trust towards anyone but myself, and Jen. I told Jen everything that raced across my mind. Jen knows me from the inside out, I trust her to not tell anyone the secrets I have shared. We had been through a lot. I remember the summer of 6th grade year, Jen and I went to summer camp during July. Our parents wanted us to make new friends while we were out there. But all we did was get sunburned and became even closer. Nothing could separate the bond of Heather and Jen. Of course, at that age you start to notice the boys. Jen became fascinated with this boy as we were at camp, Jason Carver, the more we talked about him, I started to develop a crush on Jason as well. Being little girls, we didn't care to make a move or even dare talking to him. But we admired him from a young age. I noticed all the guys that looked my way during camp, I always felt the eyes of Eddie Munson on me. It is difficult to describe, the feeling of when somebody likes you and you start to like them back. That's what happened with Eddie, I never spoke to him during summer camp. By the time the three weeks of camp were up, I had never seen him since, he must have gone to a different middle school before we collided back in high school. 

________________________________________

   Sitting next to Eddie now was almost surreal. We were almost complete opposites from what Jen told me during her Hellfire club meetings. I now appreciate the fact he is getting to know me. 

   "Let's head back to my car." Eddie stood up and held his hand towards me to grab, I reached for it and he pulled his hand away. He started to laugh, I rolled my eyes. He did always play tricks on the councilors at camp. He reached his arm back out and I grabbed it firmly to hoist myself up from the ground. I wiped off the butt of any leaves that could've gotten stuck and patted my hair to make sure the tree I leaned on didn't get sap in it. Luckily it didn't.

   The walk back to the car was hectic, the wind had picked up and we start to feel a drizzle of rain hit our faces.

   "Do you like the rain?" I said.

   "Yes, calms me down when there isn't weed around." He replied.

   I rolled my eyes, but he was in front of my so he didn't notice, "Is that all you do? Smoke weed and play D&D?"

   He scoffed, "No, I drink and party to." He stops to turn around and look at me, "Remember my band? It's still going, I play the guitar." His eyes lit up  with joy.

   "I remember your band, Corroded Coffin. And partying? I know we saw each other at Steve's party but I didn't take you to be dancing and playing beer pong." I laughed.

   "I'm glad you remember the band, we practiced day and night for the five minutes of fame for the talent show in my 10th grade." Eddie stood next to me as we continued walking towards the car, it was now visible through the fog that settled through the light rain. We parked on the side of the road. He jogged towards the car door and opened it for me, I gave him a smile and I sat in the car. He then walked to his side and hopped in and started the engine, just as we started to move he gave me a smile and I smiled back, I looked at his lips then back to his eyes.

   The kiss, I know I reacted foul when it happened. But when he pressed his lips towards mine I felt a warmth through my body, I had never felt that before. It scared me, that's why I got up and walked away. It was irrational, he read the mood right, I probably would have kissed him if it was any other time. 

   "Hey, I am sorry about how I reacted to that kiss, it was really nice and I should have kissed you back. I felt like a spark when we-" I twiddled with my fingers as his eyes glanced from me to the  the road.

   "Please stop apologizing. I shouldn't have done that when we were talking about that...Though, I am glad you enjoyed it sweetheart." He winked at me. I felt my heart flutter.

   "So... where are we heading now?"

   "Back to my place. Is that okay with you?" He looked at me till I responded.

   "Yeah, sounds good."

   We played the radio on the rock station, I am so glad I could relate to someone with music. We jammed to Guns 'n' Roses and Van Halen, we sang at the top of our lungs. His voice was good, he should be the lead singer in his band. Each song he mouthed the tune of each guitar solo, it was the cutest thing. I think I am falling for him again. 

   After a while longer we approached his trailer house, he put the car in park and turned off the engine and looked at me, his eyes wondered across my face, to my hair, to my necklace, to my lips. He leaned closer and so did I. I felt his breath on my face, we looked into each others eyes, then to each others lips. I leaned in, I couldn't take much more of the two inches of dead space between him and I. His lips touched mine, they were soft and slightly wet but not sloppy. I had never experienced something so enjoyable in my life. The kiss became more and more passionate, his hand slipped into my hair which made me go deeper into the kiss, I tugged on his shirt to get closer, but the center console was in the way. I giggled between the kiss because of that, and so did he. He pulled away after that and breathed heavily. He smiled, I smiled.  He opened his door and got out of the car, he headed over to my side and opened it for me. I unbuckled my seatbelt and before I could get my feet onto the ground he pulled me into his arms and hugged me, my feet were lifted off the ground. His hair smelt of artificial forest green, which was generic but flattered him well. He let my feet hit the ground before we pulled away.

   "I need to show you something inside." Eddie excitingly ran up to the the door step and unlocked the door, he ran inside, then came back outside to wave me in then ran back inside. 

   I jogged towards the house and walked through the door, my nose got hit with a pungent smell of cigarettes, it made me cough a bit but I got used to it quickly. Eddie met me in the living room with his red guitar. 

   "Look at my gorgeous baby." He gestured towards the guitar. The. Guitar. I started to laugh.

   "She is beautiful." I try to say with a straight face.

   He held his guitar close to him, "Don't laugh at my baby." Eddie said this playfully. He sat down his guitar on the kitchen counter. He then sat down on the couch in the living room, I joined him on the couch and sat close to him, Eddie puts his arm around me.

   "I guess this is a new beginning to our story?" I asked.

   "I guess you can put it that way sweetheart." Eddie put his hand on my leg, and squeezed lightly. I looked at him a bit shocked and he move his hand away. I told him with my eyes that I was uncomfortable. He took that as a sign to take things slow.

   That is what I wanted for now. To take things slow, I don't want to hurt myself.

   "We have all the time in the world." Eddie was different. But we needed time to figure each other out.
