Mr. Blue Sky - ELO
☀︎
I woke up to a warm feeling tingling all over my body. My eyes fluttered open. Eddie was next to me. I smiled slightly and nuzzled down deeper into the crook of his arm.
This was nice. This felt right.
A sudden realization washed over me.
Holy shit I was sleeping in the same bed with Eddie and he was really really warm.
I shook the thought off and opened my eyes again, stretching myself out. Little groans let out of my breath as I settled back into him and smiled.
"Good morning," I said softly, staring up into his dough brown eyes.
I closed my eyes softly again, cuddling myself into his form. He felt nice.
I forgot we had only really been friends for about a week.
Fuck it being only a week, this boy was becoming my best friend. I thought of him more than even Beverly herself.
A thought crossed over my mind and I opened my eyes again, searching for his.
"Eddie?" I asked, calling for his attention. His eyes were already fixed on me.
I shifted slightly so I was looking at him instead of the ceiling.
I tried my best not to feel like I was overstepping my boundaries, but he didn't seem to be complaining. I felt bad that I was using Eddie as a personal pillow, though.
"Yeah?" he answered, his voice raspy from the morning.
I sat up, crossing my legs and facing him. Instant regret washed through me; it was so much warmer clinging to him. But I couldn't lay on him any more. I felt uncomfortable. I didn't even know how we ended up in that position, and now that I was fully conscious, I didn't want to overstep my boundaries.
It was a bad idea to get in the bed with him in the first place. If anyone were to have seen us, they'd get the wrong idea.
"Can I be a loser?" I asked Eddie, a questioning look in my eyes.
I enjoyed being around these people much more than any of the friends I'd had in the past. They were genuine and kind. They deserved my friendship, and I longed to have theirs.
Eddie chuckled, his sparkly brown eyes glowing with happiness, "you're too cool to be a loser, Brandy."
I crossed my arms defensively, "well if I'm so cool then how come I don't have the boys chasing me and shit?"
Eddie raised an eyebrow, "you do have all the boys chasing you and shit."
'But it seems I can't have the one I actually want,' I thought. Those damned intrusive thoughts needed to leave me alone. Who did I actually want? I didn't even know.
"Well fuck them. You and you're friends are a whole lot nicer."
'And you're a lot nicer to look at." The thoughts were still going. I didn't need them. It wasn't a secret that Eddie was very good looking, at least I didn't think it was. Not many seemed to notice it, but when you looked at him, there weren't many bad traits at all.
He had grown taller. His face was very nice to look at. Why didn't this kid have a girlfriend? I'd rather be with him than any of the douche bags that get all the girls at school.
'Don't think like that, Brandy.' I scolded myself.
Eddie looked shocked, "r-really?"
I sighed, "I don't know. I just- I feel at peace when I'm hanging around you guys. I've never felt at peace with any large group of friends before. And I know you all have lots of history and these fucking memories everyone always talks about," I paused, getting off on a tangent. "Which I'd appreciate if someone told me about."
