the date(pt2)

a/n: no smut :)

i walk inside, getting the warm food out of the oven. i made lasagna and garlic bread, hopefully that's good enough. didn't know what drink he likes but, i do love beer so i hope he does too. i make our plates before setting them on the table. i grab a couple of beers, open them, and set them next to our plates. i walk back to the backyard door

"Dinners ready"

i walk back in and grab napkins before sitting down at the table. eddie comes inside and sits down, looking at everything on the table and immediately picking up the beer bottle.

"You like beer too? God i'm so incredibly lucky to have met you, cheers"

he holds up his bottle and i pick up mine, smiling. we cheers them together and both take a sip. we start eating our food, having casual conversation.

"So y/n, i want to get to know you a little better, and i want you to know me a little better. Can we ask each other questions to maybe do that?"

"Of course we can, i've been wanting to get to know you too"

he smiles, a sense of relief on his face. he takes another bite of the food before looking like he's thinking about a question.

"Oh i have one. Tell me the whole story of why you decided to move away. If it's a story you're willing to share"

he locks his eyes on me, being fully concentrated and waiting for a response

"Well, my parents weren't always the best and i wanted a way out of there. I saved until i was 18, and i moved here. They tried to stop me but, i wanted new opportunities, new people. You know, i wasnt very popular over there at all, another main reason i couldn't stand it"

i've never told anyone that i wasn't accepted there, but i felt safe telling eddie this. i took a sip of my beer and looked at him, a look of understanding on his face. he took my hand and started to speak

"I'm not very popular here at all. I didn't want to tell you but, i want to now. people call me a freak, a monster. no one really wants to hang with me besides the hellfire club. today at lunch with you was the first time i felt normal being there in a while. you made me feel.."

he paused, looking down at your connected hands

"..Special and safe. i like having you around doll, i really do"

"I like being around. You're the first person to make me feel normal in so long, and i need that. i need you"

i grip his hand and he looks back at me, smiling

"And eddie, i never want you to be scared of telling me anything. I'm here to listen always"

"Same to you. Nothing you do or have done will make me see you differently"

"Thank you. Let's keep eating and we can finish our conversation in the hot tub"

we finish eating our dinner and put the dishes away. we walk out to the backyard and i open the hot tub, turning on the jets and turning up the temperature. i get in first as eddie strips down to his boxers. i scan his body up and down, looking at the tattoos, his toned figure. he notices, obviously

"If you keep looking at me like that i'm gonna have to take you right here sweetheart"

"I wouldn't mind"

he smiles and gets in with me, sitting as close as he can.

"Tell me about you. I want to know everything"

(i'm about to talk about mental illness so if that's a problem with you, you can skip this part!)

"I used to like to draw a lot, i eventually grew out of it because i was bored with it. Something not most people know is i was diagnosed as bipolar a few years ago. Its gotten worse even with the meds so, watch out for my mood swings. I've never been in a real relationship, and i only have two bodies, including you"

"Wow. I know what bipolar looks like, I know how to handle it too. And i never would've been able to tell it's only two, you're like a professional"

we both laugh together and i look up at the sky

"Thank you. I trusted that guy and i regret that now, only because he royally fucked me over"

i look over at eddie now, he's concentrated on me, listening

"I'm sorry princess. I hope you know i'd never do anything to hurt you, at least not on purpose"

"I know you wouldn't, and i like that about you. You're real"

he smiles, not saying much else. we stay silent for a little longer, fidgeting with each other's hand under the water, looking at the sky. i feel at peace. as if nothing can interrupt this. it's the perfect moment..

a/n: was getting too long. last part coming soon
