THE FREAKS ~ Eddie Munson

Chapter Eleven: Teasing

Veronica POV
"VERONICA!!! ARE YOU UP????" I woke up to Denise calling from downstairs. I felt something shift from underneath me and jumped, realizing Eddie was sitting up next to me.

I gasped, putting my hand over my mouth. I looked at him wide eyed as he looked back at me, a tired smile on his face.

Oh fuck. No no no...

I quickly looked under the covers at myself, relieved to have pants on. I took a deep breath, collapsing back into my pillow.

"Sorry...did I startle you?" Eddie finally spoke, a bit of humor in his voice.

I stared at my ceiling, not even believing what was happening right now.

"Eddie?" I asked, ignoring his question.

"Yes?" He asked, looking at me and holding in a laugh.

He really found this funny, didn't he? Prick.

"Did we...?" I asked hesitantly, finally looking over at him to meet his eyes with mine.

He smirked.

"Did we fuck? No. But you did beg me to stay when I was helping you get into bed, so." He said with a smirk, looking at me for a reaction.

Memories from last night began to come back to me, i could feel my face beginning to heat up.

I grabbed my pillow from under me and shoved it into my face, completely and utterly embarrassed from what he had just told me.

"What else did I do?" I asked into the pillow, my voice muffled.

"Nothing else that I can remember." He replied, slowly moving the pillow off of my face.

"Relax," He began, giving me a smile. "You didn't confess your undying love for me or anything." He finished with a smirk. I sat up and pushed his face lightly with my palm, standing up and getting out of bed.

"You wish I did." I teased, looking through my closet for something to wear.

"VERONICA!!" Aunt Denise called again.

"I'M UP!!!" I yelled back, causing Eddie to fall back onto my bed and laugh.

I smiled and looked back at him. "Shut up." I said, turning back around and looking through my closet.

Eddie got up and grabbed his jacket off of my chair. He slid it on over his shoulders and untucked his hair out of it, situating himself.

"So I see you listen to Metallica and Mötley..." Eddie commented, looking at the posters lining my walls. He admired them for a moment before looking back at me.

I finally grabbed some clothes out of my closet, glancing at the posters on my wall.

"Yeah, Nikki Sixx is my favorite." I commented, him still admiring my posters.

I watched him as he did and came to a shocking realization.

"You actually...kind of look like him." I said, having flashbacks of all of the times i've watched MTV.

Oh shit.

Eddie looked at me a smirk on his lips. "Do you think Nikki Sixx is hot?" He teased, raising an eyebrow at me.

Little does that asshole know.

"I ummm...i meaaann." I stuttered, Eddie tilting his head and his mouth opening a bit. A smile tugged at his lips as he traced his tongue along his bottom row of teeth. He shook his head with pink rushing to his cheeks.

"No need to answer that. I think I already know." He asserted, looking back at my wall of posters with a smirk.

I stayed silent, turning my head away with a smirk on my lips.
