*Jessie's P.O.V*
I didn't even answer Ed's question, I didn't let him say another word. Instead, I leaned forward, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissed him intently. He was taken aback, but it didn't take him long for him to curl his arms around my waist and kiss me back. Everyone was watching again, I could just tell. I wasn't going to let it put me off, because I was too caught up in the moment to actually care. If we spent our lives being self conscious of others around you imagine how difficult it would be? Everybody should just do what pleases them, and try not to let the people surrounding them define you. We kissed for a few minutes, and the room still remained almost silent. Murray broke the awkwardness by wolf whistling, making Ed and I break apart due to us giggling. Ed glanced around, also taking in how all the attention was focused upon us. He pulled a cute face, and blushed slightly, and slowly everybody began to talk again.
"Hey you didn't actually answer my question!" Ed joked, pouting at me. I smiled at him, and joined in with the teasing. "Well I thought actions spoke louder than words.." Ed pulled me into his body, laughing as he wrestled me into a bear hug. "Seriously, you don't even need me to tell you this, but you completely smashed it! So good." I can't begin to explain just how much Ed's face lit up after delivering that compliment, his blue eyes glistened. I asked him what I was wanting the answer to- how did he know about my love for Kiss Me? "I remember when you first came to my gig, the one where only about ten people turned up.." Ed thought for a few seconds, reflecting on how things had changed. "Well I remember you singing along to it and swaying with your friends haha! Everyone else there only knew The A Team, but that moment stuck in my mind."
I hadn't even remembered that myself, I was very flattered that Ed had kept that in his memory, and was thoughtful enough to dedicate it to me. I think Ed noticed that I was pretty overwhelmed by the gesture, and was stuck for what to say in gratitude, as he gave me a hug and gently stroked my back. "Thank you" I whispered, as he held me tighter. We loosened the hug, so we could make direct eye contact again. "Your acapella part was so good! I think you had a really respectful crowd tonight actually, barely any of them spoke over you" Ed nodded in agreement, telling me that he was thankful it had turned out that way. Trevor wandered over to us then, asking Ed where all his guitars were, because he wanted to gather them up. We pointed in the direction of the sofa, before Ed quickly stood up to stop him.
"We usually jam together after the show, with any support acts or whatever, so why change that now?" Trevor put the guitars back down, leaving them in their original positions. Ed picked up Cyril and began to strum a few chords, just an instrumental to relax himself. "Look what I can play!" He winked, and started to play a very familiar set of chords. "Pricetag!" I laughed at how chuffed he was with himself. "It sounds even better acoustic, you know" He smiled. "Do you mind if I..?" Of course I was happy for Ed to sing my song, he would probably sing it better anyways! "It sounds so edgy with a male voice" I interrupted the chorus, and he made me sit down next to him. "It's really sweet that you do this every night, you know." Ed turned pink at that, and continued to sing as everybody began to gather round.
"Singing Jessie's songs are we Ed?" Stuart teased, making everyone stifle a laugh. "Oh don't worry, he has full permission," I added, making Ed feel less awkward. "So can anyone sing along?" Holly and Clair sauntered over, willing to join in with a bit of a casual singalong. Ed began to play again, bringing out a long intro. He counted us in, and nobody really sang at first- I think they were reluctant to take the lead. "Jess, Ed- start us off!" Holly tutted at us both, telling us not to be so shy. Ed glanced at me, making sure I wanted to go ahead with what they were all saying. The long introduction began again, and we harmonized together. "Seems like everybody's got a price, I wonder how they sleep at night.. " We were just constantly looking at each other while singing and we both laughed at the tension. "Just stop for a minute and SMILEEE!" Everybody joined in then, Holly and Clair screaming every so slightly, just like they did when I performed it at my concerts. And I thought my fans were the loudest fangirls..
