Chasing Blue

-TWENTY SIX-

-Blue's P.O.V-

Blue eyed Eddie suspiciously as she sat cross legged on his bed. Her gaze was fixated on a music magazine that she'd bought from a corner shop. Just as Blue was about to speak up,
Eddie sucked in a loud breath. It was as though she could sense his eyes on  her. She looked up and knitted her eyebrows at him questionably. "What are you looking at?" She snapped, playfulness lurking in her tone.

Blue shrugged and held his hands up in mock surrender. "Just admiring your beauty," he spoke as if it were obvious. Eddie scoffed.

"Tell me the truth, idiot," She placed down the magazine and gave Blue her full attention. She was staring at him with her peculiar eyes. He'd slightly hoped that she'd noticed his subtle hints that he had something on his mind.

"JJ texted me this morning," he began, Eddie's face lit up and she wiggled her eyebrows at him suggestively. Blue shook his head. Unfortunately it wasn't a booty call or anything of that nature.

"Yeah?" She urged him to continue.

"He asked if you and I would go to Brad Elton's party tonight," it was risky, asking Eddie, because she didn't like parties much, in fact, she hated them.

He awaited her answer patiently. She looked like she was having some sort of internal argument with her self. "Blue, I don't know..."she trailed off, giving him an apologetic look.

He thought she'd say that. So He mustered up the cutest pout possible and batted his lashed at her. This trick always worked on his mother. Eddie laughed, "you look constipated," she commented.

His face fell. "Fine."

Eddie sighed. "How important is it?" She asked.

Blue widened his eyes. "It's so important, I haven't seen JJ since the half date we had, this might be his way of making it up to me," the last part was a long shot but he didn't care, he was hopeful.

"Well, who's this Brad then?" It was like a passive argument between the two of them, both looking for reasons to make the other cave.

Blue shrugged. "He's just one of Brian's mates."

Eddie let out a deep grunt. "Brian? Really? I fucking hate that idiot." She seethed, already getting worked up just over the mere mention of him.

"You don't have to speak to him, please come, it'll be fun, we can dance and stuff!" He said enthusiastically, trying hard to convince the rock that it Eddie.

She sent him a cocky smirk. "What's in it for me though?"

Blue sighed exasperatedly, she always pulled this. "Okay, if you come with me to the party later, I'll buy you McDonald's whenever you want for a week."

Eddie rubbed her chin in thought. "Make it two weeks and you've got yourself a deal." A satisfied smile crept into her face and she stuck her hand out. To 'shake on it' was their way of confirming the agreement. It was sort of like a contract for lazy people.

Blue stood up and closed his bedroom window. It was getting nearer to Christmas and as much as Blue hated the cold he desperately wanted a white Christmas. He'd never see one before, snow always seemed to come during January, frankly that isn't good enough. "Have you ever seen snow at Christmas?" Blue asked, turning to face Eddie.
