Eddie Munson: 2023

Episode 10: Movie Night

After what seemed like forever talking with Lilly about how things needed to just be a bit more peaceful, and maybe even a bit more truthful around the trailer I walked away with a smile on my very worn out and tired face. Nothing like this normally happened in my life. Normal things like failure, dissapppointment and so much more folliowed me everywhere I went. Maybe this was my turning point, the uphill in a great book. The climax of my story where everything great and wonderful happens all at once, a perfect start to a new chapter of me.

That night after we had finished up our conversation we agreed that I would go back to Steve house, and sleep there for the night pack my things in the morning and go to living with Lilly on the a basis that conversations and things would be talked more in depth. Though I'm not sure how more in depth you could get. I wasn't sure of everything that had happened in the very short few months I had been here, or even how I managed to get here. I just knew that I never really wanted to leave my paradise.

So Lilly drove me back over to Steve house. "Are you sure you don't just wanna come home now?" She asked as she put the car into park. I really needed to get a car pretty soon, or this was just gonna become a annoying. "Yeah I'm sure babe, I just wanna thank Steve, and Robin for hosting me and get a good nights sleep on their quest bed for I go back to sleeping on your couch." I said grabbing my bag from between my legs. "Wait..." "You think I'm letting you sleep on the couch from now on?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "Oh big boy you're sleepin' in bed with me, under those comfy covers I saw you staring at a few weeks ago." I rolled my eyes, and leaned in real close the tips of our noses hitting each other. "I think I might just take you up on that offer miss." I whispered. Hot air blowing on to her soft lips. "Oh Eddie." With that I got out of the car before I was drowned in the intoxicating way of Lilly. I ran to the front door completely bypassing that Dustins car was in the driveway.

The inside of Steve house felt different. Something had shifted from the last few nights to tonight. Robin was humming away to herself in the kitchen. Steve and Dustin both had glasses filled with ice cubes and my first quess brandy. "What's up?" My question floated into the air until it hit their ears. "Oh nothing just chatting away." Steve responded. It was odd to be left out of the conversation, but I regarded it as something more personal between the two of them. I went to leap up the flight of stairs, but was stopped by Robin. "Everything good?"

I nodded and kept my speed up as I climbed the rest of the stairs. I stared at the quest room that had become mine oer the short month I had been staying here, and wondered for a moment if this was a different time. A different era all together if the all might King Steve would have let me walk in his doorway meanwhile let me stay with him for days on end until I figured my life out. I shift through my things, and then settle on taking a shower to drain away the crying, angry, and sweat.

Lilly on the other hand is driving back to the trailer park when the light on the gas station catch her eyes, they float from the sign, and neon lights to her gas tank. She's almost out and she's got a twenty on her so she drives in and filled up her car, but the gas station won't take her cash, so she filters behind an older guy, and his wife to get inside. Heat blasts her face first and then the first reminder of christmas not being to far away hits her. The couple in front of her move, and she's called to the registar. "Fifteen on pump two..." Then her eyes yet again catch the sight of a pack of silver cigarettes behind the teenager handling her money. "Also grab a pack of those silver cigarettes behind you, please." The teenager grunts but reluctantly grabs them totalling them up for her before sending her on her way out back to her car. With her tank filled, and a pack of smokes for whatever she's content and drive back home with a msile on face. A plan brewing in her head, dangerous maybe, but almost always fun with Eddie.
