Sweetheart........ An Eddie Munson story

Chapter 15: STD Rock part 2

Kali's POV:

Eddie had managed to get in contact with Dustin through the walkie. He had explained the situation with Jason and then told Dustin our location, the younger boy informing us that he would rally the rest of the troops and come rescue us.

Which now means, according to Dustin, that Eddie and I are damsels in distress. While I may have laughed at the curly haired boys joke, Eddie on the other hand, was not so happy, angrily strutting around declaring that he wasn't some princess stuck in a castle waiting for a prince to come rescue him.

He may not be a princess, but he sure is a drama queen.

After pacing back and forth for what felt like hours, Eddie finally slumped down on the forest floor, after a little coaxing by yours truly of course. I wrapped my hands around his arm and snuggled into his side as he continued on his rant about Dustin.

"I swear I'm gonna knock his teeth out if he calls me a damsel in distress again" Eddie huffs. I look up at him with a shocked expression, my hand moving to cover my mouth "I think that's a little harsh Ed's" I giggle as the metalhead looks down at me, a small smile creeping onto his face.

I knew he was only kidding but still.

"You are acting a little like a princess though Ed's" I chuckle as I snuggle back into his arm, trying to steal some of the warmth that is radiating off of his body, "excuse me sweetheart" Eddie groans as he lifts his arm free from my grip "there is only one princess here, and that is you" he grins as he places a small kiss to my forehead, his arm coming to rest around my shoulders.

Honestly, this man was such a cheese ball.

"Hey Ed's, can I ask you something?" I smiled up at the metalhead in front of me. Eddie smiled down at me, "of course princess" his voice was soft as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

I cleared my throat, my hands moving to play with the rings on his fingers as I spoke "are you sure you want to be with me?" My voice was barely audible, I wasn't even sure if Eddie had heard me but when I looked back up at him, his eyebrows were furrowed together in confusion "I'm damaged goods" I spoke once more, my gaze shifting back to the floor as I awaited his answer.

It's something that I had been questioning for a while. After everything that had happened throughout my life and everything that happened last year, I couldn't understand why anyone would want to be with me, let alone love me.

I had started to question everything I knew about myself. Once upon a time I was confident in everything I did, I loved the way I looked and never once had an issue with self confidence but over the years, with every little thing that happened, my confidence had been damaged.

I was damaged.

I heard Eddie let out a long sigh from beside me, his warm breath brushing against the side of my face as he lifted me onto his lap, my legs either side of his as he took hold of my chin and pulled my gaze to his.

"You, Kali O'Donnell, are the most beautiful girl I have ever met" he started. I could feel the blush already creeping onto my face as I dropped my gaze from his and began playing with his rings again.

Eddie's hands came to rest on my thighs as he continued speaking, "I am constantly in awe of you. You're beautiful, smart, talented and so fucking strong, after everything you've been through, you should be a broken mess but here you are, fighting with everything you've got and putting everyone else first and don't even get me started on how amazing you are with Juliet. It's like you were made to be a mom".

Eddie grabbed hold of my hands, my gaze shifting to his once more and I could feel myself relax as I stared into those beautiful chocolate pools.

"Kali, I have loved you since we were 13 years old and that love just continues to grow everyday and one day, if we manage to make it out of this mess, one day the three of us are going to move out of this shitty town and start over, because you and Juliet are my family and I want nothing more then to be with you forever" Eddie lifted one of my hands to his chest and I swear it felt as if his heart was about to beat out from between his ribs.

Nobody had ever made me feel this special, all those thoughts I had been having about myself had vanished as I stared into Eddie's eyes.

I didn't even think it was possible, but somehow, I had fallen even more in love with Eddie Munson.

I wrapped my arms around Eddie's neck and pulled him close, our foreheads resting together as we continued to stare into each others eyes, "I love you Ed's"

"I love you too princess, always" our lips collided together in a soft but passionate kiss. Eddie's hands moved to my back as he pulled me closer to him, leaving no space between us as our lips continued moving together.

I could feel myself becoming lost under his touch, my entire body felt like it was on fire as I started to grind my hips against his, feeling him harden under my touch. A low groan came from his mouth as our tongues entwined, the kiss becoming hungrier by the second.

"Princess" Eddie groaned as I moved my lips down to his neck, nipping his skin ever so slightly as I trailed kisses down to his sweet spot. I felt Eddie's hands grip my back as I continued softly biting and sucking the skin on his neck, leaving small marks in my wake.

"Princess, as much as I'd love to continue this" Eddie spoke softly as he gripped my chin, pulling my face away from his neck, "I don't think it'll be long before everybody else shows up" he chuckled as I pouted up at him.

I knew he was right, but I was so lost in the moment and I didn't want it to end.

Almost as if right on cue, we heard a voice coming from between the trees, "bada bing, bada boom. There she is, Henderson" Eddie and I quickly jumped up once we recognised Steve's voice.

They had found us.

I turned towards the voice as Eddie disappeared behind me but before I could say anything, Steve's voice rang out once again "in your face, man. In your stupid cocky little face".

"Doesn't make sense" Dustin questioned as I saw the two boys emerge from the words, the rest of the group trailing along behind them, "yeah, yeah. Even with it staring you in the face, you can't admit it. Can't admit you're wrong, you butthead" Steve smiled over at the younger boy before running towards me.

As Steve reached me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me off the ground, spinning me round as he kept his tight grip on my waist, his face falling into the crook of my neck.

It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The rest of the gang had finally found us and now we could work together to defeat Vecna and clear both mine and Eddie's names.
