Eddie was busy still fighting with himself as he played nervously with the hem of his shirt. He looked to his right and saw Y/N. When he did, he could not help but give her a smile. All the thinking and over-thinking he had done seemed to be pretty pointless right about now because all he could think of was how hot Y/N was. God he wanted to feel those lips all over his body.

"Ready to go?" he asked as she climbed in his car. "You can put your bag in the back. I won't peek, I promise," he had almost joked unless I have an urgency to find lube or condoms... but decided against it.

"Ready when you are, dude," Y/N told him as she climbed into the passenger seat of the van, throwing her bag in the back. Trying not to stare, she began to check out the inside of the fairly new car. Only a small bikini top blocked the bright California sun, Y/N noted as she settled back, putting her seatbelt on. She watched Eddie put the keys into the ignition, observing those long, slim fingers again decorated with his shiny heavy set rings. He had amazing hands. She wanted them all over her.

"So, nice car, man. I bet it's a real chick magnet," Y/N teased, attempting to feel out what Eddie's true relationship status was. 'If he is single, I am gonna pass smooth out,' Y/N thought to herself, smiling directly at Eddie.

Eddie grinned. "It kinda is, yeah," he said amused. "Not that I care much about that, really." he said as he put his hand behind Y/N's seat to back out of the parking spot, and wishing he could move his hands just forward to touch the soft skin on the back of Y/N's neck.

'Oh fuck, he would have to leave it open ended like that!' Y/N thought as she almost jumped when Eddie's hand reached behind her headrest as he backed the car out. She could feel the tingle of electricity and warmth from Eddie's arm near her neck. Her heart raced as she got a view of the long expanse of Eddie's neck as he turned to check his rear view mirror for oncoming traffic his t-shirt collar pulling down slightly showing slightly more of the scarred skin. 'I bet his skin tastes sweet but i wonder what happened,' she thought as she licked her lips and spun the labret again.

"So, where are you taking me?" Y/N asked slyly as Eddie shifted into fourth gear preparing to access the freeway. The air was whipping through the van, as Y/N surveyed her surrounding, taking in the hideous traffic they were about enter.

Eddie turned to Y/N when he had to slow the van down due to traffic.

"Well I was in the mood for a good burger, but I don't know if you want something else," he said resting his head back. "It's with traffic like this that I wish I drove an automatic," he said with a smile.

"Yeah, I can imagine. I got a little VW R32 back in Phoenix, it is a stick too. Course we don't have traffic like this," Y/N replied as she watched Eddie search for something on the in-dash radio. "I'm cool with burgers, if that's what you're in the mood for. I'm easy," Y/N stated, watching Eddie's face for a reaction, realizing how bad that must have sounded. Easy for you, that is, Y/N almost chuckled to herself aloud.

Eddie grinned and looked at Y/N with a raised eyebrow. "Really?" he asked, "That's very helpful information," he said as he stopped on a Black sabbath song. "It's just that I've been working so much lately, I need something simple even if it is just my food," he said rubbing his forehead a little showing how tired he really was. He paused and looked at Y/N, "That sounded incredibly dramatic, I'm sorry," he said with a smile. "I just... don't have a lot of ways to relieve stress right now. My girlfriend broke up with me a while ago, and the label is breathing down our necks..." he trailed off.
