Atomic | Eddie Munson

The ringing of the phone caused Katherine to jump out of Eddie's arms. She gave him an apologetic look before walking over to the phone.

"Hello?" Katherine asked, answering the phone.

"Why aren't you at work?" Mike asked into the line. Katherine rolled her eyes.

"Well hello to you too, Michael," she muttered.

"We called Family Video but Robin said you weren't there. Why aren't you at work?" Mike asked again.

"Didn't feel well, decided to stay home. What do you need? I thought you were at the Sinclair's?" Katherine replied confused.

"I need you to bring us over more movies, we already finished the ones they got yesterday." Katherine sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Let me get this straight. You called me to bring you more movies? Because you guys finished the ones you already had? Why don't you go get them yourself?" Katherine asked. Mike groaned.

"Because we're already here. And it would be easier for you to bring them to us," he explained.

"Have Steve bring them," Katherine said, not wanting to leave the house. She leaned against the wall.

"He can't. I already asked."

"You owe me," Katherine groaned into the phone before hanging up. Leave it to Mike to cockblock his own sister.

"Everything alright?" Eddie asked. Katherine turned to look at him, still leaning against the wall.

"That was Mike. They want more movies for their marathon and they want me to deliver them," Katherine explained with a huff. She loved her little brother, but God, he could be annoying. Eddie nodded and stood in thought for a moment.

"I could drive you," he said. Katherine raised an eyebrow at her friend.

"You sure?" she asked. He nodded once more. With a grateful smile, Katherine excused herself to go get changed. She brushed her teeth and quickly did some light make up before running back down the stairs. She slipped on her black Converse before she and Eddie walked out the door to the van.

Eddie extended a cigarette and lighter to her before starting the van, which she accepted quickly. Katherine reached over the center console of the van and lit the cigarette he stuck between his lips as he started backing out of the driveway, which Eddie found way more attractive than he should have. Not to sound like a middle school girl, but it kind of set off butterflies in his stomach.

"Do you mind if we stop at my trailer first? I wanna shower and change," Eddie asked. Katherine nodded, not minding at all. It gave her more time out of the house and more time to spend with Eddie.

Eddie's mixtape played over the speakers, AC/DC blasting into Katherine's ears. She hummed along to the songs as she smoked, and watched as Eddie drummed on the steering wheel. She noticed how his rings reflected the sunlight that shone on them. Katherine liked how Eddie wore rings, they suited him. 

As the mixtape ended, Eddie turned on the radio. He started rolling through the stations, until Katherine started softly singing along. 

"You listen to Kiss?" Eddie asked her. She nodded, flicking ash out of the window. 

"I didn't know that," Eddie said. Katherine gave him a crooked smirk.

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me," Katherine said. Eddie gave her a shocked look, and Katherine just continued singing along to the radio.

"I was made for lovin' you baby, you were made for lovin' me. And I can't get enough of you baby. Can you get enough of me?" Katherine sang along.
