My Addiction

My Addiction: Chapter Three

"That means I get to spend more time with you." Ed said. I couldn't hold in the huge smile that spread across my entire face and enveloped me in happiness. "Yeah, that means that I get to see that huge goofy grin and ridiculously ginger hair of yours again." I said smiling. Ed stood up, still smiling and walked over to me holding his hand out to help me up. I gladly took it and stood up. Ed was still holding my hand even after I stood up and was admiring the way our hands looked together. I looked at Ed who had just happened to look at me at that moment and quickly dropped my hand and his cheeks turned the color of his. Ed muttered a quick and quiet "Uh sorry." and began walking to the door that led into the freezing cold. I took much longer strides than usual, trying to catch up to him. Ed pulled the door open and held it open until I had walked out. I turned to Ed once we were both outside and rocked on the heels of my feet and smiled at him, biting my bottom lip with my top teeth. Ed gave me a half grin then playfully punched my shoulder and said "What?" I smiled even wider and shook my head and said "Nothing." Ed poked my stomach and said "What?" I raised my eyebrows and gave him a mischievous look while shaking my head. "If you don't tell me what's on your mind, I'm going to make sure you'll regret it." Ed said winking at me. I winked at him and said "Oh really now? You'll have to catch me first!" With that said, I tore off running down the street as fast as my short legs could take me. I could hear Ed chasing me as I ran down the street. I looked back as I ran and much to my dismay, saw Ed quite close to me. I willed my legs to go even faster but still failed at out running Ed, even with my decent head start. I felt Ed's strong arms wrap around my waist and swing me around in a circle. I burst into a fit of laughter and put my hands on top of Ed's. We continued to laugh and out of no where, Ed started tickling my stomach and armpits. I was laughing so hard that my knees collapsed and I was laying on the sidewalk while Ed continued to tickle me. He then pinned my hands down on either side of my face and continued tickling me. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. "Stop! ple-please stop! I'll do anything! I'll do anything!" Ed stopped then looked at me with a wicked look on his face and said "Anything?" I nodded and Ed grinned then said "Kiss me." "Never!" I said. "Have it your way." Ed said seconds before he continued tickling me. My mind set of not kissing him, yet anyways, was quickly diminished as yet again I ran out of breath. "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll do it! I-I surrender!" Ed finally stopped, although he was still smiling and said "I'm sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you." I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck and brought my lips to his. Our lips moved in perfect synch and my stomach erupted in butterflies. We kept kissing and I felt Ed wrap his strong arms around my waist. I reluctantly pulled away and said with a smile on my face "I guess now you have to spend more time with me." Ed smiled and said "I guess you're right." Ed stood up and grabbed my hand to help me up. I gladly took it and for the second time this evening, Ed held onto my hand for longer than necessary, only this time he didn't let go. "So, what were you all smiles about back there?"
