Milkshake •Eddie Munson

Chapter Seventeen: Only One Solution

It was a hot day, Eddie and Desiree were hanging out in his trailer since it was Desiree's day off. Eddie had his hair up in a bun due to the fact that his air conditioner didn't work in his trailer and his long shaggy hair was no help from the heat. Desiree sat on Eddie's bed while fanning herself with one of his notebooks. As her eyes drifted up to look at Eddie she watched as he grabbed his shirt from the back and pulled it over his head. She couldn't keep her eyes off of him as he did the attractive action swiftly.

Eddie tossed the shirt on the red couch that was in his room as Desiree's eyes slowly shift gaze from his tattooed chest down to his prominent V-line showing due to the fact that his pajama pants hung low on his waist. He had a magazine in his hand as well, fanning his face. Small beads of sweat drip down his chest and Desiree watched as he chugged a bottle of water, his Adam's apple moved up and down as he took large gulps of the water. Eddie looked over and caught Desiree looking at him causing him to smirk as she quickly looked away and acted like she was doing something else. "You know, if you want to see me take more of my clothes off, you could always just ask me to, sweetheart." Eddie teased as he stepped closer to Desiree with his hands on his waist.

Desiree scoffed as she rolled her eyes, "You wish, pretty boy." Desiree countered as she grabbed his pillow and chucked it at him. Eddie caught the pillow and laughed as he tossed it back to the spot where it belongs. Eddie eyed Desiree up and down with a smug smirk on his face, "You're not looking too bad yourself, Lopez." He says as he placed his hands on each side of her, leaning down close to her face. Desiree raised her pointer finger up to Eddie's forehead and pushed his head back away from hers. Eddie laughed and walked over to his stereo and put on music.

"You know, I like playing chase with you, Des." Eddie says as he subtly danced to Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen that played on the stereo. Desiree smiled and looked around Eddie's room, trying to find something to focus on to stop the blush from creeping onto her face. "You know, I like when you chase me, Ed." Desiree says as she placed her hands behind her on his bed and leaned back against them. A smirk grew on his face as he licked his lips, "Yeah?" He responded softly as he looked at her. She licked her lips and smiled at him, "Yeah."

They quickly adverted their eyes to Wayne clearing his throat at the door, "You need a moment of privacy?" He asked. Eddie nervously chuckled and shook his head, "Uh, no, what do you need?" Eddie asked as he looked over at Desiree and then back to Wayne. "The phone, your pretty lady has a caller." Wayne told the two before he walked away. Desiree smiled awkwardly and got up from the bed to head to the living room.

A few minutes passed and Desiree rushed back into Eddie's room, "I have to go, Dawn just told me that Neil needs to be picked up because his car broke down and she can't do it because she's stuck at work. Clyde has been giving her a hard time." She informed him as she packed her things up. "Hey, it's okay. There's no need to explain anything to me." Eddie nodded his head and shoved his hands in his pocket. "Call me when you get home?" He asked as he followed her to the front door. She smiled and nodded her head, "I will." She replied before she gave him a peck on the cheek and walked off to her car.

After Eddie watched Desiree leave the driveway, he closed the door only to turn around and see Wayne with a smug smile on his face, and Eddie knew he was in for it. Wayne scratched his jaw, "So are you two hooking up or what?" He asked. Eddie gulped as he tried to figure out the words to say, but his flustered face and dry throat was answer enough to Wayne. Eddie sighed in defeat and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, I really like the girl but it's complicated?" He questioned.

Wayne shook his head and smacked his teeth, "You had sex yet?" He asked. Eddie's eyes widened and he shook his head vigorously, "No, we haven't because that takes time and if I'm being honest, I don't want to." He admitted. Wayne was taken back by his nephew's words, "Not even a kiss?" Wayne asked. Eddie chuckled, "Yeah, we did kiss a few weeks back." He told Wayne with a smile. Wayne shrugged his shoulders and smacked his teeth, "Just don't get her pregnant." He teased before walking away.
