Long Road Ahead [Completed]

Chapter 20- Lunch & Talk

Two hours later.

I am nervous.
What will Edd say?
Will he accept my offer?
Will he decline my offer?

I look at the time; 11:50.

I groan when I realize I am going to be late.

I am supposed to be there at noon. That only gives me ten minutes! I guess it didn't help that I hadn't yet put a shirt and my shoes on.

I quickly grab one of my shirts hanging in my closet, put on socks, and slip on my Nikes.

Running out the door like this I probably look like I am a slob, Did I even brush my hair?
I feel my head- nope.
Great!

"Sorry I am late," I say between breathes as I sit down at the booth Edd was seated.

He chuckles, "It's fine. Did you go for a run?"

I chuckle, "you could say that."

He nods, "At least you are staying fit."

"Here is your order," the waiter says as he sets down to plates of food in front of us.

"Thank you," Edd says to the waiter and turns to me.

"I ordered you favorite, since you were running late," Edd informed me smiling.

I blush, "Thank you."

He smiles.

He grabs his food and eats, but my nerves are making me nervous enough- so that if I eat it'll just come back up.

"You okay?" Edd asks noticing setting his food down, frowning.

I sigh, "I'm sorry Double D, but no."

His concern grows, "What's wrong?"

I sigh, "I don't want to make you feel like I am pressuring you- but when are we going to talk about what I suggested the other day?"

He sighs, "I suppose we should now. I'm sorry it has been bothering you Pumpkin. It's been on my mind. I just didn't want to jump into something without thinking about everything. You know me and having to have everything perfect- it's a part of my OCD."

I nod.

"Want me to read you my list I came up with?"

"Sure, I wanna know what's going through your brain."

"Okay," Edd nods and pulls a paper out of his satchel.

"Reasons that make it hard
1) Housing- Will we live apart? Will we live together? If so where?

2) Job- You have an amazing job here, if you go where will you work?

3) Time- I am at times going to be distracted by college, would this upset you? Would you be willing to put up with me as long as long as we are.. Well together?

There's many more hard obstacles that may happen if you come with me...But I said hard, not impossible.. I personally would work on getting through the challenges to be with you, if you are willing to meet me half way. I know you are giving up so much for me and I don't like that, but I like you."

"That was so cheesy," I comment chuckling trying to hide the fact I am blushing.

He blushes, "You don't know how long I worked on that speech."

I blush more and grab his hand over the table, "je t'aime".

"je t'aime trop Citrouille" he responds.
