A Game to You

007

   I put my keys in the ignition and started my car. It was about a 20 minute drive, just about the edge of Hawkins. Once I arrived at the building the meeting would be held in I looked into my mirror to make sure I looked presentable then left my car.

   The meeting went really well, I think I will get the job. I hoped I would get the job, this was one of the biggest agencies in Hawkins. I looked at the time, 2:40, shit. I turned on the radio and drove home. Once I pulled into my driveway I saw Steve's car. When he saw me pull in he got out of his car to greet me.

   "Hey Skye," he said while I locked my car. "Hey, um sorry I'm late. It look a little longer than I expected," I walked over to the door unlocking it. "Don't worry about it," he walked into the house. He started walking over to the stairs to head up to my room, "Do you want anything? A drink, or a snack," I asked. "No, I'm good for now," I nodded and followed him up to my room.

   He sat on my bed, "So what's this thing with Munson?" he asked smiling at me. "Robin told you?" we laughed and he nodded. "Yeah um, we've been hanging out. It started off as a plan just to piss Jason off but I actually really like him," I said sitting next to him on the bed. "I never expected to see you and Munson again," he said looking over at me, "Yeah," I exhaled. "Are you happy, I know you and Jason just broke up so this must be a lot on you," I looked at the ground before I responded. "I am happy, really happy. Eddie makes me feel... I dunno, safe. He's different than Jason, I mean obviously, but Jason never made me feel the way that Eddie makes me feel," I looked up to see Steve smiling at me, "What?" I asked. "Are you falling in love with him?" he asked never stopping his smile. "I think I am," I smiled and nodded.

   "Steve, can I tell you something," "Anything." he replied. "I kissed Jason," I looked at him in a serious tone. "When?" he asked looking shocked. "Yesterday," I felt like I could just start crying thinking about it. "Shit Skye, um, does Eddie know?" he asked. I shook my head no feeling my eyes water up. "I don't know if I should tell him, because if I do then he'll be mad, and if I don't he may never find out but if he does he'll be mad." I said laying back on the bed. "I don't know what to tell you, if I were him I wouldn't want to know. But then again there's the possibility that he'll find out, if I were him and I found out from someone else I don't know if I would be able to forgive you," he said turning around to look at me. I sighed and rubbed my face with my hands, "I know," "How did that even happen," he asked laying down next to me. "He came over to apologize and ask if we could get back together, he leaned in to kiss me and I just didn't stop myself. It's all so new and I felt like I was going crazy. I regret it, I wish I would've just told him to leave," Steve nodded. "Oh and to make it all worse Eddie and I almost had sex right before all of this happened," I laughed hiding the tears. Steve looked over at me with wide eyes, "Holy shit Skye," he looked back at the roof. "I know," I said. We just sat there in silence, I needed to think. This was the first time I had said the whole story out loud. Steve understood this and stayed quiet.

    After a little while Steve sat up, "Want me to take you on a drive, that always helps me clear my mind," I took a deep breath in before sitting up and nodding. We got out to the car and Steve just drove around, he started making jokes to make me laugh. "Oh um I don't know if Robin told you or not but this girl Christine Cunningham, I think, is having a party on Friday. We're going if you wanna come," I laughed, "Chrissy? uh yeah I'll go," I remembered her from the cheer team, I missed her. She was a sweetheart. "You gunna bring Munson with you," he laughed. "I'll try, he doesn't seem like the party type," I said. "Oh he isn't. I've seen him at one party all throughout high school," he replied. "Oh by the way we have to go pick up Dustin from school in like 20 minutes," I nodded. "Yeah he um, walked in on me and Eddie yesterday," I said quietly. "WHAT?!" Steve yelled laughing. "How the hell did that happen,"  he asked. "Okay so I was on Eddie's lap and he had taken my shirt off, I already didn't have a bra on, we were making out and Dustin just barged into Eddie's trailer and slammed his door open," I rambled. Steve could not hold in his laughter which made me laugh too.
