Smitten by the Flower {Eddie Kaspbrak} [1]

24

Later that day, after I'm positive I won't be caught and murdered by Mrs. Kaspbrak, I go buy groceries. Upon my return, Mrs. Maple asks if Ash could stay with her for the night, claiming she'd love to introduce him to her husband.

Hesitantly, I agree. She promises to bring him back the next day safe and sound.

Here I sat, watching a movie as the two left the house, the door shutting quietly behind them. Not even five minutes after they leave, I hear a knock at the door. A sigh escapes my lips, thinking maybe she forgot Ash's diaper bag.

"Coming!" I shout, taking my time to head to the door and open it up.

To my surprise, it wasn't Mrs. Maple, at all. It was my beloved nervous boyfriend, Eddie. "What're you doing here? Did your mom send you to slaughter me?" I chuckle.

"I-I.....I snuck out. So I could come see you." He states, staring down at his shoes with a blush. My eyes widen.

Eddie Kaspbrak? Snuck out?

Immediately, I become defensive, pulling out my pocket knife and pointing it towards him. "Alright you asshole clown, you fooled me the first time, but EVERYONE knows that my boyfriend would never sneak out, or disobey his mom! Not even for me. So, quit your shit." I growl.

The boy blinks, holding up his casted arm defensively. "No! Really! Ally, it's me!" He pleads, staring at the knife in a mixture of shock and fear.

I blush, realizing my mistake.

"Oh...my bad."

We stand in an awkward silence as I put the knife back into my pocket.

"So uh...you know it's extremely dangerous to own a knife, about a million things could go wrong. What if you accidentally—" Eddie begins to lecture me, and I zone off.

I stare at him, taking in all of his features.

His hair. His eyes. His freckles. His nose. His lips, and the way they curve up. I'd let my eyes go lower, but then my description wouldn't seem so appropriate anymore.

"—are you even listening?" He asks, interrupting my thoughts. I look up at him with a blush, nodding my head. "Yeah, of course." I lie.

He looks at me skeptically, not buying it.
Noticing we're still outside my front door, I invite him in. "So you really...snuck at for me?" I ask. He nods his head, a proud grin resting on his face as we sit on the couch together.

"Wow."

"What?"

"Nothing...it's just....aren't you afraid you'll get caught?" I ask. "Your mom hates me."

"A little, but I really wanted to see you again."

A smile engulfs my expression. "Well since you're being so risky....while your here, there's something I've been wanting to show you." A devious smirk replaces my smile, causing Eddie to shiver in nervous anticipation.

"What is it?"

"Well I can't really show you quite yet, but it'd be right here–" I explain, reaching my hand out and tapping an area on his neck.

Confusion is written all over his face. "What would go on my neck?–OH." His face becomes red. "Y-you mean...a hickey?" Laughing, I nod.

"Yeah. A hickey. You down?"

After a few seconds of thinking about it, he hesitantly nods.

"Okay, let's just go about this slowly."

First, I lean and kiss him. He kisses back of course. Our kiss starts slowly, unlike the kiss at the grocery store. Once his mind is completely occupied with the kiss, my lips leave his and begin traveling downward.

First, to his chin. I scatter a few kisses along his jaw, feeling him shiver as I do so. Then onto his neck.

The first kiss I place causes an immediate sigh to leave his lips. I can practically hear him arguing with himself to not let me do this. Yet, he never stops me.

Kissing the spot, soon turns into sucking at the spot. A little nibbling, until I can feel the warmth rising off the piece of skin. I pull back and examine my work, seeing if I did it right at all. This was my first time giving a hickey, after all.

Eddie is bright red, and extremely flustered. He looks like he's gonna pass out any second. Though panic was evident, he doesn't ever reach for his pills or inhaler, he simply takes deep breaths.

His hand moves to brush the sensitive spot on his neck. It was definitely gonna bruise.

"Can....can I try?" He asks nervously. I give a curt nod. "Yeah. O-of course."

Slowly, he leans forward, I tilt my head a bit in an attempt to allow him access. I feel him take a deep breath, his breath is warm against my skin. Then, his lips softly touch my neck. A delightful shiver runs through me.

My eyes close tightly as he proceeds with the same process I used on him. Then, for the second time that day, he slips his hand under the fabric of my shirt.

It slowly travels upward, until it rests below my left breast. I can tell that he's hesitant, so I take it upon myself to pull away from him a bit. He stops what he's doing and looks at me embarrassedly.

"I-I'm sorry...I just thought...I thought maybe—"

Giggling at his nervousness, I pull my shirt off. He stares confused, and in awe. A gulp comes from him as he swallows the lump in his throat.

"W-what're you doing?!"

"Making it easier." I state, taking his hand and placing it over my breast. "See? It's not that hard. And I'm okay with it, Eddie."

With a blush, he tries to process everything. It takes him a little while before he realizes that it's really okay, and no one was gonna walk in on us.

So, for the next hour, we sit around giving each other hickeys. He gets his chance at exploring the female body, realizing it isn't as bad as he deemed. Its new to both of us, and we know that we're just inexperienced kids doing what we found to be fun.

"Jeez, how am I gonna explain these to my mom?" Eddie chirps, gesturing to the bruises scattered along his neck. "Just don't tell her and try to cover them up?" I suggest.

I smile, and he grins back. His eyes drift to the watch on his wrist. Quickly, he pulls himself off the couch. "I gotta go Ally, b-but....do you think...maybe we could do this again?"

I walk him to the door, giving him a quick kiss goodbye, the smile never leaves my face. "Duh. You're my boyfriend...I can only hope that you'll let me do that more often." He grins and blushes.

Before disappearing, he stops at the end of the steps, smiling up towards me.

"Oh, and Ally, I love you too."
