A Game to You

003

Eddie opened the door and immediately smiled at the sight of me, "Hey Skye, come in," he stepped aside allowing me to walk in. We sat down on the living room floor and I passed him his burger, "thank you," he said taking it out of my hands. I just smiled at him. I put his milkshake next to him on the ground and then put the fries in the middle of us.

Once we were done eating our burgers I took my milkshake and dipped a fry into it, "What the hell are you doing," he asked. "What? It's good. Try it," I said laughing. "Absolutely not, that's disgusting," he said in-between breaths while laughing. "Look," I said grabbing a fry, dipping it into the milkshake and grabbing the back of his head so he couldn't move away while I made him try it. He fought until he finally gave in and tried it, "Holy shit Skye, that is so good," he stated covering his mouth because he was still chewing it. "See what did I tell you," we just kept laughing.

Once we finished all of our food he got up and grabbed a movie, "Okay, I got The Exorcist, is that good with you," "Yeah that's fine," I told him knowing I'm not good with scary movies. He ran into his room and came back with a blanket. I sat on the couch while he put the VHS tape into the TV then sat down next to me. He threw the blanket overtop the both of us. Once the movie started it didn't take long for a scary part to come up. "HOLY FUCK," I screamed jumping up, "Scared already?" he joked extending his arm out. I smiled while scooting closer to him and throwing my legs across his lap. He wrapped his arm around my waist.

My plan was working.

Another jump scare appeared on the screen and I jumped again. He rubbed his thumb on my waist as if he was trying to tell me that I was safe. I smiled up at him and he put his free hand on my face, pushing a pice of loose hair behind my ear then using his hand to cup the side of my face. His eyes were moving from mine to my lips repeatedly. He leaned his lip into mine for a quick kiss then he pulled away, "Is this okay," he asked and I nodded. He leaned in again to kiss me, this time removing his hand from my waist and cupping my face with both of his hands. Thankfully I felt nothing, it was just a kiss. I couldn't let myself catch feelings for him, this was just to piss Jason off. Once I accomplished that goal I would end it. But, I guess it wouldn't hurt to keep kissing him.

He put one hand back on my waist moving me to his lap. I threw my arms over his shoulder and he turned his head brushing his tongue on my bottom lip asking for entrance, I opened my mouth a bit allowing it. His hands gripped tightly onto my waist and pulled me closer to him. Suddenly rain slammed onto the tin roof on the trailer. I pulled back from the kiss. I rested my head on his forehead as we tried to catch our breath. I pulled away, "What do you say we go.. dance in the rain," I said giggling. He nodded and I got off of his lap and grabbed his hand running out of the trailer door.

"Come on, run faster you old man," I yelled out to him, "Alright, alright," he screamed back. I stopped in the middle of the road and stood in front of him, he grabbed my hand and spun me around then pulled me close into his chest. He leaned down to kiss me. I escaped his grasp and ran, "You gotta catch me first," I laughed. He chased after me when he slipped in a puddle. I heard the impact and turned around, we both immediately started laughing. I walked over to him and reached my hand down to help him up "Are you okay," I was able to ask in-between laughs. But he didn't respond, he just reached for my hand and pulled me into the puddle with him, "Hah, gotcha," he screamed. As if we weren't already completely soaked from the rain, we definitely were more soaked now. He grabbed my sides and started tickling me "Stop ... Stop ... Stop," I screamed out in-between laughs, he stopped and stared into my eyes. He cupped my face and leaned in to kiss me. He laid a soft kiss on my lips and got off the ground helping me up. We walked for a bit before he turned around and threw me over his shoulder, "Alright now lets go back inside," he said, "Don't you dare slip on another rain puddle Eddie," I yelled at him. "Calm down Skye, I'm not gunna drop you, dip shit," we laughed. He walked a little further before he pretended to nearly drop me, I screamed loudly and all he could do was laugh, I slapped his back making him laugh even harder.

He opened the door and walked into his room throwing me on the bed. He sat down next to me. "Eddie," I looked up into his eyes, "Yeah?" he asked. "Do you think it would be okay if I slept over here tonight, my parents would question it if I came home this late," I said smiling at him. "Yeah, of course," he nodded. "The bathroom is right here if you want to take a shower," he said pointing to the room next to his, "And here, let me grab you some clothes," he said. He walked over to his drawer pulling out a pair of boxers and a t-shirt and handing them to me. "Thanks," I said quietly getting up and walking over to the bathroom. I shut the door behind me then walked over to the shower and turned it on. While I waited for the water to heat up I stripped off my clothes. I reached my hand under the water stream to see if it was hot enough, it was so I got in. I just stood under the water trying to clear my head. I was never a religious person but I prayed that I wouldn't catch feeling for Eddie. I felt as if it would be hard not to, his personality, his smile, the way his laugh is contagious, he was just perfect. I shook the thoughts out of my head and grabbed a bottle of shampoo and lathered it into my hair. I rinsed it out and finished my shower. I got out, dried off, put Eddie's clothes on, and brushed my hair before walking out. When I walked out I saw Eddie holding a pillow and a blanket walking towards the couch. He must have heard the door open because he turned around to look at me, "The bed is all yours, I'm just gunna sleep on the couch," he said. "Eddie, no you don't have to do that," I told him. "No, no, I don't want to make you uncomfortable or-" I cut him off, "Eddie I want you to come in here with me," I said in a serious tone so he knew I meant it. "Okay," he said walking back towards me. I sat on his bed, "Hey um do you have a jacket or something?" I asked. "Yeah, yeah, here." he said handing me a jacket from his closet. I put it on, he stared at me. "What?" I asked giggling. "Nothing, you just look better in that than I do. You should keep it," he said sitting next to me on the bed. "Are you sure," I asked, he nodded. I laid my head on his shoulder for a minute. "I'm going to go take a shower, It'll be quick," "Okay," I replied. He got up and grabbed a pair of pajama pants then walked over to the bathroom and shut the door. I laid down in his bed and got under the blanket. I stared at the ceiling waiting for him to come back, it was probably less than 10 minutes but it felt like hours.

He walked back into the room shirtless with a pair of grey plaid pajama pants on and wet hair.

He was so hot.

I quickly composed myself and smiled at him, "Do you need anything?" he asked. "Water?" I asked and he nodded walking out of the room. He came back with a bottle of water and handed it to me getting into the bed. I took a couple sips of water then I handed it to him, he did the same then put it on his bedside table. He laid down on the bed and wrapped his arm under and around my waist pulling me closer to him. I laid my head down on his chest and put my arm around his torso. I felt his breathing ease and I looked up to see him already asleep. I smiled and fell asleep quickly after him.

-------------------------------

I woke up the next morning with Eddie still next to me fast asleep. I moved my hand to his cheek and rubbed my thumb along his face. He slightly opened his eyes looking at me, "Well good morning," he said smiling. "Good morning," I said back to him. He leaned down and kissed me, but this time was different. When his lips touched mine I felt something.

Butterflies.
