"You Really Screwed Up This Time, Carver..." - Eddie Munson x Y/N Story

5. The Final Countdown

TW - swearing, mention of drugs & alcohol

Ever since that day at the pool, mine and Eddie's encounters have been different. So charged in a way they've never been before. I still couldn't stop thinking about whether or not he liked me in the same way I liked him, it was a constant distraction. I'd miss parts of conversations at the dinner table or at parties because I couldn't stop thinking about his eyes and that fucking kiss. We hadn't kissed like that again since, or even spoken about it. I didn't know how to bring it up - "Hey, Eddie. Don't suppose you kissed me because you like me, did you? Because I've become completely and helplessly obsessed with you." - No. I'd look ridiculous, so I did what I was always best at - got high and drunk, and ignored it. Throwing my angst and confusion into my extra-curricular activates with Eddie.

It's been two weeks since the pool incident, four glorious fucking weeks of incredible sex in total. But sadly, school starts tomorrow. I'm seeing Eddie tonight, for what will probably be our last hookup of the summer - perhaps forever. I want Eddie in my life so bad, but I can't ignore him all year and expect him to wait for me to retire my crown as the high schools princess. Plus, I don't even know where I plan to be next year - I just know I need it to be out of this dead ass town. Eddie's currently on his third attempt at graduating so there's no guarantee he'll be free to follow me when the time comes. He might not even want to follow me... he might not even like me that way. I couldn't take the risk. For now I'd just settle for one last incredible fuck, one that we can remember forever.

I'd made a pit stop at the mall on my way home from another mundane manicure session with Chrissy to get some extra special underwear that, hopefully, Eddie would never forget. I opted for a matching set, black of course, with studs along the strap and cup edges. The undies were much the same, a little more sheer than the bra, lightly exposing my skin through the tantalising fabric. Hidden under my usual unsuspecting attire of short black skirt, T-shirt and denim jacket, with a comfortable pair of well worn converse, I was ready to give Eddie a night he wouldn't forget.

"Where the hell are you going?" Jason snapped, finally taking an interest in my life,
"I'm just going to see some friends" I replied defensively. He has no right to question what social life considering he's spent most of this summer vacation out at parties or pounding the pavements with his goons, intimidating the lesser folk of Hawkins, never once checking in on his own sister.
"Which friends? All your friends have been glued to my boys, so who's left?" he sneered, he wasn't wrong though.

The usual suspects I'd normally spend time, the cheerleaders, had been trailing behind the jocks as always, fawning over their every move. I panicked, I couldn't tell him I'd been with Eddie Munson, so I thought of the only other people I knew of that he would never think to check my alibi with. "I've been with Harrington! And his friend, Robin... We, uh, I'm mostly hanging out with them at their work or watching movies at Robin's... we lose track of time and I end up crashing there most nights." Although Jason would still consider both of them 'socially inadequate' by his standards, I knew that he would react better than if I'd of said pretty much anybody else. And with Steve being older than Jason, I knew there was no way Jason was going to try and challenge him to a fight over it.
"So long as Harrington doesn't put the moves on you, or Buckley for that matter, then that's fine I guess. Have fun with your loser movie night. And don't be late home in the morning if you stay out again, else you're driving yourself to school tomorrow." he sneered again, finding any reason to knock someone down, even if behind their backs.
"See ya later, dad!" I chuckled as I fled out of the door, keeping my head down to avoid any further interrogation.

My whole body started to tingle as I pulled into the trailer park, I was a chaotic mix of nervous and excited with a heaping of sorrow at the thought of this whole thing with Eddie ending tonight. Parking up next to his van, I took one last quick look at my face in the rearview mirror and tussled my hair lightly, I then glanced around the trailer park to make sure nobody would see me exit my car and head towards the trailer of Eddie Munson. I practically skipped up the steps and pounded my fist on the door, desperate for him to open up and let me in, I was excited to see his reaction to my sexy surprise, even if he was just going to end up throwing them onto the floor later.

Lost in the thought of Eddie tearing my new underwear off my body, I was startled as the trailer door swung open revealing a face bearing striking resemblance to Eddie's only well worn with age, a short crop of silver hair covered his head and chin, but he still had those magnetic Munson eyes. "Well... you must be the 'summer project' my nephew tells me he's been concentrating so hard on..." the man jested with a warm, playful tone, my cheeks grew hot and flushed at the obvious insinuation, my mouth ran dry and for the first time in the life, I was fucking speechless.
"I- I'm his, Eddie's I mean, his project partner!" I stuttered, there was no way he was going to believe what I was saying, I'll be damned if I didn't try. The man only chuckled before gesturing me to come in,
"Oh, Eddie... your 'homework' is here..." he called out in a songful for tone towards the slightly ajar door of Eddie's bedroom. Eddie came flying out of his bedroom faster than I've ever seen him move. He practically tripped over the carpet as he stumbled and bolted his way to the living room knowing full well what is uncle meant by this.

"Jesus, Wayne. Could you be any more embarrassing if you tried?" Eddie growled, doing nothing to hide his embarrassment of his uncle figuring out the only thing he's been doing over the summer... was me.
"I could actually, but I've seen you squirm enough for tonight. Gotta get to work anyway, have fun doing... Homework." he chuckled before wrenching his baseball cap down to his brow and strolling out the trailer to his truck, leaving me and Eddie alone in a flustered giggle.
