The Cuddle Pact with Eddie Munson

15

Takes place a week after Winter break!

Luci hasn't seen Eddie since that Sunday night. They haven't spoke since then. Dustin has been talking about Eddie to Luci and vice versa. Which they both got annoyed about it. Even Miles asked Luci if she were okay and needed anything.

Luci sits in her class she tries to focus on the notes the teacher writing down but can't. She can't help but think about Eddie. She turns to look at his empty desk, hoping that he would just appear but no go. Class ended shortly after, Luci and Robin walk towards the cafeteria Luci had to use the bathroom and told Robin not to wait up.

As Robin was waiting in line for lunch, Dustin came up behind her and said "I know."

Robin quickly turns around, "Know what?"

"I know what you know."

"Which is?" she said raising an eyebrow not paying attention to him, looking at the food.

"Luci and Eddie."

Robin turns her head, "Luci and Eddie?" She says with question. Even though she know exactly what he's talking about.

"Yeah."

"Huh, you mean her tutoring him?"

Dustin shakes his head, "No I saw them in her room, sleeping together."

Robin shrugs, "This is news to me."

"Really? You guys literally tell everything! You guys are practically sisters!"

"So are you going to ask her then?" She said picking up a Jello cup.

"No, I'm going to wait until she tells me. I trust that she'll tell me."

Luci comes back from the bathroom to Robin and sees Dustin scurrying away.

"What was that for?" She laughs.

"Um, I'll tell you later."

••

"HE WHAT?"

"He knows Ana," Robin sighed.

"Did he seem mad or anything?"

Robin shakes her head,"No, not really."

"Okay good, she said slouching in her chair.

"But he did say that he's gonna wait until you tell him and he trusts you that you'll tell him."

Luci looks up toward the sky, "Okay, I will."

"I have to tell Eddie that Dustin knows."

Robin takes a bite from her sandwich, "How do you think he's going to react?"

"We'll see I guess."

She drops off Robin at her house then Dustin at Mike's. She got dressed at Mike's quickly and drove to the diner.

Work was mostly boring for her, just refilling coffees, and ordering for the regulars that come in the diner. She closed up the diner and drove home. She went straight to the shower to take the diner off of her. When she step out of her bathroom and to her room,she saw Eddie sitting at her desk.

"Hi."

Eddie turns around to face her, "Hi Luci."

She takes her hair out from her towel as she walks to the edge of the bed.

"I thought you didn't want to talk or see me anymore."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Because you've been avoiding me since we got back break."

"I haven't."

Luci raises an eyebrow, "Oh really? Not attending to the four classes we have or the pact we made."

"Or even if I'm walking in the hall, towards your direction you would go the opposite way."

"Look- I-I'm sorry, I-I just been thinking," he says looking at the floor.

Luci looking at him and can tell he doesn't want to talk about.
She definitely shouldn't say that Dustin saw us cuddling on Sunday.

So she doesn't press any further, "Okay, but tomorrow we start tutoring okay?"

"Okay," he said nods.

When they got settled into bed, Luci turns to him, "Is it okay that Miles invited me to go and see the band on Thursday?"

"Yeah, that's cool," he said drawing figure 8s on the back of her arm.

"Actually they've been wanting to ask you for a while now since you're our good luck," Eddie says sleepily.

When Luci was about to say goodnight, he was already asleep.

"Goodnight," she whispers.

He cuddles closer to her and mumbles, "Goodnight sweetheart."

Oof Dustin knows! I like the interaction between him and Robin.
