Bound to you. (a Peddie story)

Sick day

Eddie's POV

I was sat on the side of a hospital bed, Patricia's hospital bed. Apparently kissing a dead guy wasn't good for someones health, at least thats what we thought was wrong. Patricia only stayed in hospital for a couple of hours, she was now free to go, though she wasn't allowed to go to school. It didn't take long for them to figure out what was wrong. Post natal depression. A pretty bad case of it, the trauma of seeing Rufus in her daughters eyes, so similar in colour. Patricia wasn't allowed to be alone with Cara. That killed her.

We got let out of hospital and made our way back to Anubis house in silence. I didn't know what to say to her, things had been so crazy recently that we had lost that passion that made us so good together. We were no longer Peddie, at least it didn't feel that way anymore, we were so complicated it was more like Pruddane. Yeah, Pruddane, Patricia, Rufus, Eddie and Cara-Jane, cause thats what our relationship now consisted of. Not just me and Patricia. A whole feast of people.

I hated the way we were together, we hadn't been even remotely close since Rufus got her pregnant, we barely even kissed anymore, there were no butterflies when i saw her, no fire when our bodies touched, no burning desire when her lips are on mine, were weren't the same anymore and that killed me! I miss my old Yacker.

I got an idea.

Patricia and I just needed some alone time, something personal. I would pull a sick day tomorrow, its not ideal being the first day back at school but who cares? Not me. Then i would set up the perfect date for us since Trudy is CJ's nanny when we are at school.

Its gunna be perfect.

Patricia's POV

Eddie had pulled a sick day, he wasn't sick at all! Meaning he was up to something! It was lunch time and trudy had taken CJ out for a walk. I went into the dining room to find a patiently waiting Eddie sat at the table. Candles in the middle and burgers on either side.

"It's our first date Yacker, you better make a good impression." he told me, winking.

"You are such a weasel." i replied, taking the seat opposite him. "good date choice." i winked back.

"I think we need some alone time."

"Agreed!" we ate the burgers and made small talk about just about everything but Rufus and CJ. It was a pretty good date but i had a feeling it wasn't over yet. I walked into our room, followed quickly by Eddie, who pushed me against the door. I was liking how this was going to end.
