Us Against The World

Part 14

Eddie stepped in his front door to see Wayne sitting on the couch, drinking a beer, his feet propped up on the coffee table. He greets Eddie warmly. "Hey kid" Eddie happily returns the greeting. "Hey old man" Wayne noticed that he seemed a bit more peppy, more so than usual. He didn't think much of it, he was just happy to see Eddie happy.

"I might have a friend over tonight after band practice, that cool?" He didn't usually need to ask Wayne if people could come over, but because it was a girl he figured it'd be better if he had a heads up. Wayne nodded and took a sip from his beer. "Who's the friend?"

Eddie's cheeks started to grow red, he rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, Chrissy, you met her the other night." Wayne chuckled and nodded again. "Oh yeah. She seemed nice, remeber what I told you. Be careful" Eddie didn't protest this time. Sure they were still friends but they had slept together. He just shook his head and walked down to his room. He needed to get ready for the evening.

Saturday evening

Eddie emerged from his room a few hours later. He wore a Corroded Coffin shirt, black ripped jeans, converse shoes and his usual leather jack and vest. Metal rings dotting his calloused fingers which gripped the handle of his guitar case, and he had his favorite pic necklace on. He was showered, fresh, and excited, albeit still a little nervous. He rooted through the fridge looking for something to drink, he needed something in his stomach to help soothe his nerves. Finally he settled on a bottle of water.

On the drive to Chrissy's Eddie had his music on full blast, he was singing along to the words that blared through the speakers. When he pulled up to her house he turned the music down and honked the horn a few times. Not even a minute after he saw Chrissy open the door and shout to someone inside before coming down her porch steps. She looked amazing. She wore a pink skirt along with a white frilly top. Her hair was up in a pony tail as it usually was. She looked so Bubbly and cute. Eddie chuckled, she was going to look so out of place with his friends and their girlfriends. But he didn't mind, he loved her aesthetic.

He opened his door and walked around the van to meet her. When he got there he opened the door for her. "Wow you look.. absolutely stunning princess" Chrissy giggled at the compliment. He'd said one thing to her and she was already blushing. She got close to him. "You look good too, I love your shirt. I'll have to get one of those." She poked chest softly.

"You'd be the cutest person to ever wear one that's for sure." Chrissy shook her head and leaned in close, she didn't know if he'd want to kiss her, but there was only one way to find out. She moved her lips to his, and he happily returned them. The kiss was quick, but familiar.

She stepped back a bit and looked nervous. "Sorry" Eddie just grinned. "No need to be sorry, I could kiss you all day." This earned him another kiss, a deeper one. She grabbed his leather jacket and pulled him in close, he wrapped his arms around her. They kissed a few times, just enjoying each others company. Eddie eventually pulled away however. "Alright baby, we gotta go or we're gonna be late." She nodded and climbed into the passenger seat, he closed the door behind her and walked around to get in himself.

On the drive over Eddie rested his hand on her thigh again, and like before she grabbed it gently and held it. Chrissy felt nervous about coming to his band practice. She knew his band because they talked briefly, but she didn't know them well enough to not be nervous. But she was with Eddie, so she knew she'd be safe.

They pulled up to his friend's house, the garage door was open and inside there was amps, a drum kit, and 3 men standing and talking, and on a couch against against wall sat two women that Chrissy couldn't make out the details on. The only thing she could tell was that one girl had blue hair, and they both had black clothes.
