What the fuck was that? Edgar was trying to help me and I just left scared, again. I have to talk to him sooner or later and I guess I just chose later. "Shit." I don't have any extra clothes in my bag. I usually have a spare sweater just in case but I guess my mind has been all over the place. "Is everything okay?" Edgar asked through the door of the restroom. "Yes, I'm fine." I half yelled. "Can I come in?" Well, fuck me. "Sure, Ed."

He slowly opened the door and half smiled at me. "I wanted to talk to you." He said. "About what?" Oh God. "I know why you've been acting all weird and rejecting me whenever I want to talk." He started walking towards me. Oh no. He knows. "It's about what Scott said in the meeting... you work with the management, you are always being told these things so you knew if something were to happen between us they'd fuck it up."

Okay, so he doesn't know the full story but he is actually kind of right. "Eddie, I..." I began saying but he took my hands interrupting me. "Wait, I'm not done yet... I'm sorry I didn't really give you a chance to explain yourself yesterday... and I want you to know that I don't intend on damaging your job, that's why I want to ask you something." He sighed as if he was collecting the strenght to look me in the eyes. "Do you feel something for me?" He asked with hopeful eyes. "Anything, just say yes or no, bonita." My lips went dry when I heard the nickname. If you only knew... "Of course." I breathed maybe too close to his lips. "That's enough for me to hold onto." He grinned. "Then we'll take it slow...and also, that's enough for me to give you my hoodie so you don't remain wet." He teased. "You don't have to, it's fine." I replied.

He was already removing his hoodie leaving him only in his 'less than jake' t-shirt. "I want to." He said handing me his dark green hoodie. "I'll be waiting with the guys." He smiled at me. "Wait, you forgot something." And in my five seconds of bravery I grabbed him by the neck and gently pecked his lips leaving him speechless. "You kissed me." He whispered looking shocked for a second but not being able to hold back his smile. "Now, I'll see you when I change." I giggled pushing him out of the room.

I guess there's no going back. I just kissed Edgar Hayes.

I tossed my wet piece and put on Edgar's hoodie, looking at the mirror and smelling his scent for a second. I just know Miles is going to be the first one to give me shit about this as soon as he sees me in his clothes, but honestly I don't care. We'll just have to be careful about Scott and management... I mean, well, we're not dating yet so I guess we still have to talk about that and actually see what we are. Without overthinking it more I made my way towards the living where the guys were hanging out.

"Would you look at that?" Miles half yelled. "Just shut it, Miles." I replied taking a seat next to Edgar in the sofa. "Wow, sharing clothes and sitting together already, they're back guys." Asher teased. "Nothing you've never seen before, idiots." Eddie answered laughing. "True that." Ash smiled at me. He knew everything, therefore he actually knows how big of a deal this is for me. For us. "Could we get back to watching videos, please?" I whined. "Actually we kind of watched them all while you two were 'talking' over there." Miles said wiggling his eyebrows as he said 'talking' making everyone laugh. "You know what? I'm actually glad I'm not going on tour, you're so annoying." I joked. "You are coming." Edgar stated. "You guys heared Scott." I shrugged. "You're not off the hook yet though... he said he'd call you." Ash said. "Well yeah but I don't think he likes me that much anymore." I admitted.

"Well then it's convenient that a certain bassist of the band does like you." Eddie said making everyone gasp. "Oh God, like that wasn't known" He spat making them laugh. "Well if you guys aren't going to get anything done today I really should get going." I said. "Oh c'mon, you're no fun, Gracie." Miles said. "Some of us aren't in a famous band and actually have to study you know." I teased. "Dad Asher approves, darling." Ash smiled jokingly. "Well, boyfriend Eddie doesn't." He whispered against my ear. I MEAN WHO. I turned to him, feeling my face hot and I knew I was red even if I couldn't actually see it. "If you guys are going to be telling each other secrets you should both get a room." Miles groaned making me giggle. "Don't worry, buddy, I'm leaving so you can have your friend all to yourself." I joked getting up not before giving Ed a peck on the lips making the guys gasp. "Holy shit." Miles screamed. "Bye guys, love you." I left the room giggling before they asked for explanations.
