Need You Now (Watty Awards 2014)

Chapter 12

Another picture of Eddie is on the side!    

              I decided to take Eddie up on his offer and go out to lunch with him. It is not a date! I was just bored and hungry. Plus, Chelsea was busy with Markis (obviously). I rolled my eyes at that thought. I parked my car at the small resturaunt on the corner called , "Cafe Newman". I chuckle at the name. One of his parents must own the place. No wonder he wanted to take me here! He wanted to gloat! What a moron. 

           I decided to wear a simple pink sundress that hugged my waist and stopped at mid-thigh. It was comfortable and i felt pretty in it. Chelsea got it for me for my birthday. I see Eddie get up and walk over to where i was standing. Wow, he looked breathtakingly gorgeous. He had on a white buttoned up shirt that gribbed his muscles in his stomach and strong arms, and some ripped blue jeans with normal tennis shoes. 

"Wow, you look stunning," He said, reaching down and kissing my hand. I blush but shake it off. There wer to be no feelings going on. I simply wanted to make a new friend, conquer my hunger and leave. No funny business!!! 

"Its just a sundress, Eddie," I smiled as i took a seat next to him at the table. He laughed also while asking the waiter to bring us both a glass of water. How did he read my mind like that?

"I know. Still, stunning. So, what made you call?" he asked as he picked up a menu, scanning it. 

"Shouldn't you know what to get already? I mean, this is your resturaunt," i laughed as i started looking at it myself. He smiled and shook his head, causing me to be confused. 

"Now, you would think that with the last name and everything. Everyone does," he laughs before going on, looking at me in the eye, "but this is actually my first time coming here. I don't own it, trust me." He laughed. Gosh he laughs alot. I wish i could laugh half as much as he did. It made me sad inside to remind myself that i might never be that happy. He looks concerningly at me, putting his hand over mine, sending chills up and down my arm. 

"Whats wrong, Sarah?" He asked.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about that math quiz we have tomorrow and got disappointed," i replied, taking a sip of my water. 

"It's spring break, Sarah. There is no math quiz." Crap he caught me. Smart too, huh? 

"Oh, right. Um, I don't know. I'm just not in the best mood i guess," I said sadly, hiding my face with my bangs. He takes his hand and puts the stray hairs behind my ear, making me look up at him. 

"He's not worth ruining your mood, Sarah," he tells me with a warm smile. I return the smile and nod. I knew that he was right, and again, is he psychic or somehting? 

                I really enjoyed the lunch with Eddie. He knew how to make me smile and laugh, even though i really didn't want to. He was so sweet. Your falling for him, Sarah. Stop it before it gets dangerous. My brain told me. 

"I have to go, see ya later?" I said after he paid the check. I saw his smile fall. Good. 

"Now? Can't I drive you home?" 

"No, I'm fine i can drive myself. Thank you though. Goodbye Eddie," I said quickly before darting out the door. What was it about him that always made me freak out so much? 

             Before i reached my car i felt his warm grip on my shoulder. I turned around to see his concerned face. "Are you sure your okay, Sarah?" He asked softly, getting closer. Me, of course, getting nervouse i back up from up until i bump into my car. 

"Yeah, i'm fine thank you. I need to go," I say, starting to get nervous. 

"Wait! Can't i at least tell you goodbye?" He said, his face getting closer to mine. Shit, he had me closed in! 

"Bye," i said sofly, trying to find my door handle. I could hear and feel his voice chuckle. 

"Not like that, Sarbear. Like this," He whispers before cupping my face in his hands and kissing me. 

                 I literally thought i was going to turn into a firework from the sparks that were starting between us. I never wanted it to stop. Ignoring the red flags my brain was giving me, I deepened the kiss, putting my fingers through his dark, hawaiian hair. I loved the fact he was Hawaiian. It made him different. I liked different. I bit his lip for more pleasure as i heard him groan. I loved this.....

"Sarah, we should stop. We are in public, haha," He laughs, talking as his lips are brushing mine. I looked up into his eyes before getting into my car. 

"See you tomorrow? Same place for breakfast at 10?" he asked longingly. I nodded, scared for myself as i drove away quickly.
