Don't Get Away From Me

75| Not Jealous

[Edgar's pov]

Another night, on the couch, television playing something I never watched, raining and thunder, yellow light bulbs and scented candles.

"I. Want. Cuddles. A lot." Colette crawled up and shoved herself through my arm to get closer. She's been acting like this for the last few days..I guess it's been really weary.

"What, little cloud? Getting sick of raining all day long?" I chuckled as her hair tickled my face. She wasn't in a mood to talk to anyone, so she just quietly shook her head, "I like rain, just tired." Geez, she grabs my hoodie so tightly. "I mean, there weren't a lot of customers recently, so what exactly are you tired of?" Stroking her hair, she yawned.

"It's just busy...Bonnie and I- never mind." She stopped suddenly and faked another yawn, "Just continue your work, I'll pretend I'm not here." Colette mumbled and her eyes closed. I don't want to poke her lies. I continued scrolling through my phone and patted her head gently. The thunder and raining made this moment seem even more quiet, in a good way.

It's just been a little weird..

4 days away from the realm we spent together. It was nice, but after that day, Colette always got back home late. How I know? Of course because of Emz.

Emz: 1 YEAR, 2 YEARS, 10 YEARS, ARE ALL STILL TOO SOON FOR MY ANGEL LITTLE BAE BEI TO GET MARRIED
Edgar: srsly what the fuck.

So yeah, that happened in the past days.

Getting my thoughts back together, I focused on the moment. Colette in my arms, soundly asleep like a child. Only if it lasts forever..Her hair would never not be soft, and her smile wouldn't never not be sweet. Her lips are kissable for countless times. I wish I could get drowned inside her-

Edgar. Stop your thoughts.

[Emz' pov]

ALRIGHT ALLOW ME. I HAVEN'T BEEN FEELING THIS WAY FOR A LONG LONG TIME.
