adore her

Dont Go - Eddies pov

Goodness I felt so warm watching her scurry away. Barely 30 seconds passed and I heard stomping on the stairs and then there she was sliding in front of me in fluffy green socks, a tank top and Patagonia baggies. No bra might I add. What was this chick doing to me. What the hell am I doing in her kitchen at 7 in the morning. Making breakfast? It felt good doing this for her though. She deserves it. She deserves someone here for her. She sat down in front of me and I passed her a plate.

"Why thank you Mr munson" She said smiling up at me.

"Anything for you"

She furrowed her brow for a second before looking down and squealing

"MICKEY MOUSE??!!"

"Only the best for the queen of the underworld" I said in excitement to match hers.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank yo-" She repeated until her mouth was full.

I ate a bowl of fruit watching her devour her pancakes. And then her eggs. And then her bacon. When she was done she got up and put he dishes in the sink. The way her clothes hugged and emphasized all the right places. Her magnetic field pulling me closer and closer and soon enough I was behind her. My hand resting on her hip. My mouth inches from her ears

"Let me take care of you" I whisper go her taking the now clean fork from her hand and putting it aside. She turned and looked up at me.

"What" she said so quietly into my chest avoiding eye contact. If I hadn't been staring at her lips I wouldn't have known what she said.

"You can't do this on your own. You don't deserve it. Let me take care of you here" I don't know what came over me. What made me say that? She's like a siren. Calling me in making me say absurd things. But I meant it. I truly did. I want this girl.

"How" she whispered again looking into my eyes now

"Let me cook for you. Let me put a towel in the dryer while you shower so you can be warm at night. Let me tuck you in. Let me unload this weight you've been holding. I can see it's drowning you. I know it. Let me carry some of the weight for you. "

She pushed away

"I'm fine. Nothings wrong. I've been doing this long enough I don't need anyone to fix me."

"I never meant it like that yn" But she was right. I just met this girl. It's absurd to be asking her this. I don't know what I was thinking. "I'm sorry, I should go"

She didnt say anything while I grabbed my bag and walked towards the door. She grabbed my wrist before I could open it

"Don't go"

I looked at her confused

"I don't" she paused looking down. "I don't want you to go. Eddie. I want you here. With me. But I don't deserve to be taken care of. I can't give you that burden I just met you."

A glimpse of hope flashed through me. "You're not a burden. Ive never been happier in my life than I have been these past 12 hours." And it was true. I adored her.

We were face to face now "Stay. Maybe ill let you make me dinner tonight. If you stay again. You don't have to stay you have your own house. That was silly-"

"I'll stay" I said eagerly. A little too eager but I dont care.
