Falling for "The Freak" (eddie munson× reader)

Chapter 19 [Secret Surprise]

     Our alarm blares in our ears. 5:45. "Go back to sleep love, I'm going to start getting ready." I tell Eddie as I kiss his forehead. Before I can even grab my clothes for the day, he's already snoring. I jump in the shower and wash my hair and body, I dry my hair with my towel and put my clothes on for today. Some black ripped mom jeans, a cropped black tank top and a red and black flannel. I walk into the bedroom, checking the time. 6:29.
     "Wake up baby, time to get up for school." I say in a soft voice while rubbing Eddie's arm. He groans and turns over, now facing towards me. He slightly opens his eyes and sees me sitting on the bed, he pushes himself towards me and grabs my shoulder, pulling me down to him. He lightly kisses me but still making it passionate. He pulls away and gets up, putting his usual Hellfire shirt and black jeans on. "Babe wear something else, you wear that almost everyday." I say with a pleading look as I sit down to do my makeup. "Ugh. Fine!" He says pulling out a Metallica t-shirt and some blue jeans. "Thank youuu!" I say with a smile as I finish going my makeup. I've never really done much, just some mascara and concealer to make me look like I'm not a zombie. I check the time once again before making breakfast. 6:45. Perfect timing. I make some eggs and toast, setting them on his plate as I make some coffee. "Babe! Breakfast is ready!" I yell back to the bathroom at Eddie. He drags himself out of the bathroom, shuffling his feet. He sits down and starts eating as soon as I place the plate down in front of him. I place the cup of coffee down, made perfect just for him, a little bitter, but still sweet and a tad bit of creamer. He immediately takes a sip. "You excited for today love?" I ask while taking a sip of my coffee. "What's today again?" He asks rubbing his eyes and chewing his food. "We're getting my ring today, remember?" I say cocking my head slightly.
He's still groggy from waking up so early. His face lights up remembering that we're getting me an actual engagement ring today after school. "Yes!" He says jumping out of his chair. He bends down, cups my face and pecks me on my cheek before running to the bedroom. I hear him rummaging through his things before running out to the kitchen, holding a box. It was pretty big in size, fairly long, but not too tall. "Open it!!" He says while jumping up and down. "You have to stop jumping first." I say while giggling at the sight of Eddie this happy. He hands me the box and continues jumping up and down. I unwrap the neatly tied ribbon and open the box slowly. It's a dress. I look up at him with a look of confusion, "I don't wear dresses Eddie" I say standing up, putting the box on the table and pulling the dress out. "I know. But I'm taking you somewhere special and we need to dress nice." He says with an ear to ear grin on his face. "Somewhere special?" I ask confused about what he's talking about. "It's a surprise love!" He says while taking the dress, putting it back in the box. It's a beautiful dress. It's red satin with a crossed back, it's fairly long as well, the chest area is cut into a V shape, so it will show off my cleavage, it also has a slit on one side for my legs to flow freely. It goes about halfway up. I don't really think Eddie realized this. But it's gorgeous and for once in my life, I'll wear a dress. I turn to Eddie and hug him. After a few moments I pull away, "What do you have to wear with this exactly?" I ask. I know when he says somewhere special it's usually nothing fancy, but this time it obviously is. He runs back to the bedroom and I follow behind. He pulls another box out from under my dresser. He opens it, pulling out a black suit with a white undershirt and a red tie to match mine. "Wow, so it's REALLY FACY where you're taking me." I say admiring the suit, envisioning Eddie in it.
"Try on your dress PLEASE!" He begs while putting the box back together and running to the kitchen to grab mine. "Babe if we don't leave now we'll be late!" I say checking the time. 7:18. "Shit!" He says under his breath as he puts the boxes under the bed. We grab our things and jump in his van. We arrive at school and run in, hoping that we're not late. Everyone is still in the hallways as we burst through the doors. Everyone stops what they're doing and looks at us. "Oh my god it's the freak and his girlfriend!" "Did you hear that she beat the shit out of Jason?" "I heard that she held a knife to his throat and threatened to wear his face as a halloween mask." I hear voices say while walking down the halls with Eddie. I squeeze his hand, letting him know that I'm uncomfortable. "It's okay baby, they're just assholes." He says while walking us to our first class. We walk in and sit down, of course being across the room. The teacher feared us together and what we would do together. Everyone's heard the rumors going around about us, especially me. I put my Fleetwood Mac cassette tape into my walkman and listen to music the whole period, putting my head down, not looking up at the multiple people that tap my shoulder. All of the sudden my walkman stops, I look up from my arms and look who was messing with my stuff. I look up and see Eddie. "Hey love! Class is over! Lunch time." He says excited knowing the day is almost over.
We walk into the cafeteria and see everyone already sitting down, looking at who was walking in the door. "What are you people looking at?" I yell as I quickly grab Eddie's hand and start squeezing it. "Fuck off." I yell flipping everyone off and quickly walk to the Hellfire table, dragging Eddie with me, digging my nails into his hands. "So what time do I need to be ready by?" I ask him knowing that no one else knows what we're talking about. "I'd like to leave around 5:45 ish. I want to do something before we get to your surprise." He says with a smile on his face. Everyone at the table is looking at us, "What are you guys talking about?" Dustin asks putting his elbow on the table and putting his chin in his hand. "I'm taking y/n out tonight. She doesn't know what it is yet, SOOOO I'm DEFINITELY NOT telling you blabber mouths." He says pointing at everyone at the table. Mike and Dustin give Eddie pouty faces and big puppy dog eyes. "Pleaseeeeeeeee we won't tell her. We PROMISEEEEEE!" They plead as they slightly stomp their feet on the floor. "Not happening" Eddie says while pulling me closer to him by my waist. I've always sat in his lap at lunch. It keeps me calm and helps me relax during school. "What are you guys doing after school?" Mike asks while taking a bite of his lunch. "Going somewhere and then going home, getting ready and then going somewhere again." Eddie says starting to get annoyed. "Ugh! We're not gonna get it out of you are we?!?" The both ask getting annoyed as well. "Nope. Now stop asking!" I say sternly as I can feel Eddie slightly squeeze my thigh. "Hallway, now." I whisper into his ear. I grab his hand and drag him into the hallway.
"Just calm down love. Just think about what we're doing after school. It'll be okay, I promise." I say while cupping his cheeks and standing up on my toes to kiss him. He puts a hand on my lower back and pulls me in closer to him kissing me passionately and deeply. His hand slides down to my ass and grabs it. "Not right now babe, later tonight." I say in between the kisses we're smothering each other with. "Ugh. You're such a tease!" He groans as he pulls away from the kiss. We walk back into the cafeteria right before the bell rings to head to our next class. Eddie walks with me to my History class and then he walks to his own. I blow him a kiss goodbye as he's walking backwards, never taking his eyes off of me. He bumps into a teacher and immediately turns around, putting his hands up and apologizing. "Stop staring at your girlfriend Munson. She'll be here later." The teacher yells at him as she looks at me and smiles. Mrs. Hiddleston has always liked me, I never even had her as a teacher. I do the same as my first periods, putting Fleetwood Mac into my walkman and turning it on, putting my head down and not looking up for anyone that taps on my shoulder. I hear the bell ring after about 40 minutes and I get up, grabbing my things and walking out. "Hey baby!" I hear someone faintly say from behind me. I ignore them thinking it's someone else talking to their girlfriend or boyfriend. I feel a familiar touch on my waist and melt into it. Eddie. I turn my head while putting my headphones down onto my neck. "I'm bored. I wanna leave!" Eddie says while sliding us to the side of the hallway. I bump into the lockers as Eddie walks slowly towards me. He puts his hand on the back of my neck and pulls me into a passionate kiss once again.
"Promise you wont get mad at me about tonight darling?" He asks while pulling away from me. "Why would I get mad?" I ask him confused, but still smiling. "I don't know, just promise me you won't." He says grabbing my hand, walking us to our last class of the day. "I'm not making promises I can't keep love." I say giggling under my breath. We have art for our last class. I've always envied people that can paint, draw, write books, etc. "You can do whatever you want today class. I've set everything out for you to do what you want." The teacher says as I pull out my sketch book and start drawing. I draw the place where Eddie proposed, Lovers Lake while the sun is setting. I start drawing the forest and the lake. The teacher is walking around the classroom looking at everyone's work. "Wow Munson.. That's really- amazing." He says while looking at Eddie's painting in disbelief. It's a gorgeous painting of something obviously. The teacher is never stunned with anyones work. He walks to me next, seeing the forest and the lake. "Wow y/n. You're amazing, you should really draw landscapes more often!" He says while picking up my book and inspecting it closely. He sets it down, walking to the next person and still not stunned with anyones work. I look up to see Eddie painting. He never paints, not that I know of at least. I stare for a few more seconds before he glances back over to me and looks back at his painting. I finish my drawing and begin coloring. I color Eddie's skin and hair, then clothes and eyes. I make sure to put as many details and shadows in the picture as possible, I put reflections in the water from the sunset, little strands of hair in Eddie's face from the wind that night, every little detail I can remember. About 5 minutes before the bell rings, the teacher lets us know to start cleaning up. I put everything back, hiding my picture since no one knows that Eddie proposed yet. I pack my things up and walk over to Eddie. "What'd you paint honey?" I say while he stops me right in front of him, not letting me see his picture. "Turn around." He says to me as he spins his finger in a circle. I do as he says and turn around. He covers my eyes and starts walking towards somewhere.
After a few steps he kisses my head and let's go of my eyes. I open them and see a beautiful, detailed, and HUGE painting of me while I was drawing. He could see what I was drawing from where he was standing and decided to paint my drawing as well. It's so detailed, every strand of hair, every fold in my flannel. Everything. An ear to ear smile grows on my face as I turn towards him. "I love it baby!" I say while jumping into his arms. I hug him tightly as the bell rings. We walk out to his van and drive back home to get the money we've been saving. We gather it all up and drive to the ring shop. We walk in, still wearing the clothes from school. "Hello, welcome to Monet. What can we do for you today?" The person at the counter asks us. "We're here for an engagement ring." Eddie says while grabbing my hand. He's never been the public type of person, talking to people he doesn't know, being around new people, nothing. He likes sitting inside, listening to music, plying his guitar, and watching movies. "What are you two looking for?" The man asks. We soon learn his name is Mark. "Something simple but still enough to notice." Eddie says, knowing I don't like the big and bulky rings. I like simple jewelry. The only bulky thing I've ever had on is his ring on my necklace. "I've got the perfect ring for you." Mark says as he pulls out a tray full of rings. He picks out a gorgeous gold ring with diamonds across the band and one poking out of the top, it wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. As we looked closer at it we can see that the band breaks in two, twisting slightly. one twist with diamonds and one without.
