"We're never going to leave the house if you don't let go of me, Teddy," I giggled but snuggled deeper against his chest.
"Well, why don't we just stay here?" Ed murmered, his lips brushing over my temple. I let out an amused huff and lifted my head a bit to look at him.
"You were the one who asked me out for dinner and now you're too lazy to get up?""I'm not lazy," he protested. "It's too comfortable to get up and I'm tired."
I laughed and somehow managed to wiggle out of his tight embrace. "We've just been asleep for two hours straight, I think you've had enough rest." I swang my legs over the edge of the bed, ignoring his grumbling. "And you've already reserved a table for us, so up you go."
He rolled over with a groan and sat up, rubbing his eyes. "You're lucky I love you so much, Layla."
I grinned and blew him a kisd before turning around to leave for the bathroom. "I'm just going to take a quick shower, alright?"
"Wait!" Ed stopped me.
I turned my head to look at him over my shoulder, eyebrows raised.
"Do you want to shower together?" he asked with a slight smile, causing my face to fall in a matter of seconds.I wasn't expecting that. Due to me wanting to take things slow and being shy and insecure as hell, Ed has never seen me naked before. I was a bit taken aback by his question and just stared at him in shock.
"I...uh...I don't know," I stuttered nervously, digging my nails into my palms. My body always has been my biggest weakness and I was really scared of being judged, even if I knew that Ed would never do this.
"We don't have to if you don't want to. There's no rush." Ed's voice brought me back to reality.
"I...I'm." I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down. It was just a question. "We...we can try if you want to," I whispered hesitantly.
The smile on his face grew wide at my answer and he pushed the blankets aside, getting up from the bed.
"Just take it slow, okay?" I asked him as he reached me.
Ed took my hand and lifted it up to his mouth to kiss the back of it. "Of course, Honey. Don't worry." Then he put his hand on the small of my back and opened the bathroom door to guide me inside.I walked towards the large, glass enclosed space and reached in to turn the knobs. The sound of streaming water filled the room as I shut the door and steam started to slowly build up behind the glass. I turned and looked at Ed, my heart racing in my chest, unsure what to do next. He closed the space between us and wrapped his arms around me.
"Don't worry, Baby," he soothed. "Lift your arms for me?" Hesitantly, I did as he said and lifted my arms over my head, my eyes never leaving his. My black hair fell in front of my face as he pulled my shirt over my head, letting it fall to the floor. He reached out his hand and gently tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "Everything okay?"
I nodded. But when he hooked his thumbs in the waistband of my pants, I stopped him by quickly catching his wrists.
"Wait," I said. "I can do it, but...but you have to turn around."
Ed didn't protest and just turned around, the smile never leaving his face. "Just tell me when you're ready, Darling."
"Yeah," I mumbled, feeling embarrassed about being so awkward about getting naked in front of him. It was just Ed. He would never hurt me.
I grabbed my pants and pulled them down together with my panties. Then I unclapsed my bra and pulled the straps of my shoulder, tossing my last piece of clothing onto the floor. My hands were shaking as I used them to cover myself with.
I took a deep breath. "Okay, you can look now." My voice sounded so weak. Ed turned around and I swallowed hard as his eyes fell on my body. He took a step forward reached for my hands.
"Don't cover yourself, Layla. There's nothing you need to hide," he said and gently pulled my arms away, exposing me. I felt so vulnerable under his gaze, like a deer in headlights. I didn't notice I was crying a bit until I felt Ed's thumbs brushing under my eyes, wiping the tears away. "Why are you crying, Love. It's all good," he spoke softly. I sniffled a bit trying to calm down.
"I don't know, I'm just so...so-"
"Beautiful?" he cut me off.
I shook my head in response and looked down in shame. "Ed, look at me, my thighs and my stomach."
I felt Ed's fingers under my chin, lifting it up. "I do look at you, Layla. And all I see is a beautiful girl who's perfect in every single way. And I'm going to tell her these things until she believes them," he said, warmth in his eyes and a soft and honest smile on his face.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my cheek against his chest. His hands found their way around my body and he pulled me in.
"You okay?"
"Yes," I mumbled into his shirt. "Thank you for being so wonderful and caring."
He chuckled. "I'm trying." Then he pulled away and opened the door of the shower. "We should go in now. We're wasting water."
"Teddy, wait," I giggled. "You're still all dressed."
He looked down at himself. "Oh right. Wanna help me get undressed?" he asked, wiggling his blonde eyebrows.
"Ed!" I covered my face with my hands, in attempt to hiding my embarrassment.
"I love how innocent you are," he laughed and pulled his shirt over his head.
