Ellie POV: We stood there, looking at each other. Eddie looked at me then back at his van, "Let's go."
I didn't hesitate when I nodded, I didn't even go back inside after we had finished. I didn't want to waste anymore time. Eddie carried me to his van and we were about to speed back to his trailer, I just wanted more of him, more of us.
Gareth was right, well he usually was, but in this instance it was clear to me that nothing was more important than being with the person you adore. Nothing.
As he ran around the other side of the van, he barely made it into the driver's seat before I pulled him back to my lips, I needed to taste him, I needed all of this. I wasn't thinking about the morning, about tomorrow.... god there was so many people to explain things to... but tonight, well you would make him yours over and over again.
Eddie Munson was yours. He pulled away from your lips, "Hold that thought beautiful. Wait till I get you in my bed..."
"Eddie.. I'm worried, but I am.." I tried to speak and he just shook his head and squeezed the steering wheel, "Ellie. Just let me get you home. I promise, I fucking promise I will talk this through, but I need to be someplace that I can fully take care of you."
I watched him look over, the look in his eyes told me that he was serious. I nodded and sat back as I put on my seat belt, I could feel it, the part of my stomach that was screaming to run. I wasn't going to, but my hand started to shake, I went to hold it with my other one, but Eddie placed his on top first. His eyes met mine and his lip quivered, "Please. Just let me get you someplace we can really talk."
"I'm trying." I whimpered out, "I want you. My body just isn't being helpful."
He nodded, "Your heart?"
"It wants me to stay." I felt the tears release and he nodded again, his jaw was tense as he leaned over kissing my cheek, "My heart wants you to stay to Ellie."
That was it, the sobs erupted and he pulled me to his chest, "shush... okay, lean on me..."
He pulled me into him as he backed out and started away from the house. Away from Billy, fuck, you were going to have to explain to Steve... where was Steve anyways. Eddie's arm went loose a bit as we got farther from my house. I thought about Eddie's idea, of him moving in with me, making us official. Gareth and Mattie had basically started living together, but they weren't in the same predicament as Eddie and I were.
The road ahead was dark and I realized there was no music on, Eddie was silent and all I could hear was the sounds of the car and feel Eddie's fingers in my hair as he tried to hold me and drive. I looked over and noticed through my tears that Eddie was also crying. His cheeks stained at this point, he didn't wipe them and he didn't talk.
I bit my lip. I wanted to comfort him, immediately I thought about just comforting him, but something in me paused. I had cried for three months, I had thought he left and was not coming back....
