Taste That Your Lips Allow ~ Ed Sheeran Fanfic

Chapter 28: The New Flat

Annie’s POV

I sat down heavily on Ed’s bed, resting my crutches by the bed side table and looked around the room. It was two weeks after I had been released from the hospital and as it was nearly the summer holidays anyway I didn’t head back to school. Instead I had spent the majority of my time with Ed. That probably sounds really harsh on my family but they had work and Robbie was away with his friends quite a lot anyway. And besides I had been helping Ed pick out a new flat. We had so far today been to 3 different locations and seen over 6 flats.

“I like this one” I said looking across the room where there was a tall window showing the high rising London city buildings. Ed’s music career was really beginning to take off and he had saved up a large amount top by a new flat. You only had to look at it to know it was expensive: there were tall windows in every room, a freshly installed granite kitchen and all 4 bedrooms had en suites. But that wasn’t the reason I liked it, I wasn’t that sort of person. I liked the way it felt fresh and modern like a new beginning.

“Annie I could have sworn you said that about the last 3 we went too” Ed said throwing a pillow at me.

“Hey!” I shouted as the pillow hit me in the face, I gave him a joking pout and continued “But I really mean it this time, this one is perfect. And quite frankly I’m exhausted” I threw myself backwards so I was lying down on the king sized bed and closed my eyes. I opened them a second later and nearly screamed. Inches from my face was Ed, his hands by my head and one knee either side of my hips. I felt my heart begin to hammer against my chest and I got a funny feeling in my stomach. Slowly Ed lowered his face to mine and began trailing kisses along my neck to my ear where he whispered in my ear “I love you Annie” and planted a soft kiss on my lips. Just as he pulled away I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him back down to me, where I kissed him passionately. He nibbled my lip playfully causing me to gasp, instantly deepening the kiss. Just as Ed placed his weight on my there was a loud cough from the door way.

Both of us cocked our heads to the side and I could feel my cheeks blazing hot red against my cheeks. Standing in the door way was the flat tour guide who Ed and I had stopped following about half an hour ago due to his constant history lesson about every building that we could see out of the room. Ed stood up quickly, running a hand through his hair sheepishly and I stood there staring at my toes.

“Now that I have found you once again” He said, his voice condescending “What do you think of the flat?” Ed stared at me for a long time before saying “I think it’s perfect. This sir is definitely the one”

I smiled as I watched the two men leave the room to talk ‘numbers’ but just before Ed left he turned and winked at me. Just then I thought of Mia, I would have to talk to Ed about her soon.
