Peddie- Seven years is a long time

Kiss me slowly

Eddie's POV

I can't believe how stupid I've just been!

I could've ruined everything we've built over the past two years. I could've changed her mind while trying to give myself some piece of mind.

What was I thinking?

You weren't.

I think I've mentioned this before but oh well, I'm gonna tell you agian, really hate that voice.

I'm starting to hate the entire idea of the whole gang back together again.

Seriously though Amber and Nina have already slapped each other and we're still on the first day!

I'm still sat in front of the blood red rose bush when someone speaks. "I've not seen you this upset since I found you in that coffee shop" KT laughs slightly, taking a seat next to me. "That was so embarrassing!" I mumble with my head in my hands.

"Yeah it was" she says smugly.

*Flashback*

"Eddie, is that you?" A voice snaps me back like a rubber band. I've been sat here for the past hour drowning my sorrows in cookie dough ice cream. "No" I mumble placing my head on the table as if a migraine has invaded my mind. The coolness of the desk calms me but brings a fresh memory of her. Of us. "Okay we need to get you out of here" KT mutters before lifting me up before she forcibly drags me out of the coffee shop.

"What is wrong with you?" She snaps once she has pushed me onto a bench in the nearest park. "Nothing" I mumble keeping my eyes fixated on the extremely interesting concrete pattern. "You can just mope around for the rest of your life" she says sternly pointing a finger at me. "I was quite content on moping"

"This is a waste of your life. To be honest I don't want to have to deal with another mopey, downcast heartbroken person"

"Who else is there?"

She skeptically raises an eyebrow at me with a frown place on her lips. Suddenly hits me and it hurts more than it should. "She is hurting just like you. Patri-"

"Don't say her name" the hostility in my voice surprises me an obviously...her too. "I'm sorry it's just I can't even think we name let alone her it aloud. I don't know what's wrong with me"

"Your in love" she sates simply. I know I am. I wish I had old her. I wish I wasn't such a coward. "I'm going to marry her one day. If she forgives me that is" I whisper the last part; my pice heavy with regret. "She will. I promise you that she will." Those words comfort me. Even if it's not coming from her, I still feel the depth of that promise. The promise that I know will come true. It's just going to take time. But I've got time.

*End of Flashback*

"You were a wreck" KT laughed next to me. "I had just broken up with the girl I loved" I say seriously which causes her laughter to die. "Why are you sat out here anyway?" She asks blatantly changing the conversation. I shrug not wanting to give an answer. "Come on" she urges with that knowing look. "I may have asked Patricia if she still wanted to get married but she assumed I was asking because I wanted to back out" she stares at me for a moment before whacking me on the arm. "Ouch! What was that for?!" I exclaim rubbing my arm as I it will ease the pain. "Your an idiot. I can't believe you asked a girl who you love and who your going to marry in 4 weeks if she still wanted to marry you!"

"He mentioned a potential our kids and I freaked out"

Then it dawned on me. I had almost ruined my entire relationship.

I shot up and ran inside and up to our room leaving a laughing KT behind. "Patricia?" I say breathlessly as I barge into the bedroom. She glances at me from her book momentarily before returning her gaze. "I'm sorry. I don't want to back out. The thought hasn't even crossed my mind and I have no idea why I asked I guess I just freaked out said something I had been worrying about" I stop needing to regain my composure. "Worrying about?" She asks placing the book beside her and coming to stand in front of me. "I keep thinking that one day your going to wake up and not want to be with me anymore"she gently places two hands on either side of my face. "I can promise that is never going to happen" she whispers before attaching her lips to mine.

"Everyone has decided to go and do their own thing until tomorrow so...what do you want to do?" She asks once we pull away for air. "This?" I say cheekily.

She looks at me before laughing. Once her laughter has seized she stares at me intently as if trying to search for something more. I gently reattach my lips to hers.

I guess I was wrong.

This could be a good holiday.
