How you fell in Love - Edmund x OC

Chapter Eight

"You suggest and I'll tell you?" you asked.

He shrugged. "Alright, then." He paused and thought, then smirked.

"Tell me how you met James."

You laugh, "Well, you're in for quite a long story then."

He keeps his gaze fixed. "I don't mind."

"Alright.

So before I knew James, I knew Mr. And Mrs. Blackwood. Both of them were tailors. But Mrs. Blackwood was my mother's most trusted companion and I spent most of my time with her when I wasn't studying. I practically adored her and I still do. I could study for around six hours a day, and I was free for the rest. Studying was all I did because my parents thought the sword fighting, archery, etcetera were of more use to Al as he would take over as the High King and they could teach me later.

So I spent majority of my time at Mrs. Blackwood's office or room. But I never saw James because he was with his Father in the men's section familiarising himself with that art.

But one day, he decided to take a break and help Kel as she was sick. Note that Kel was a very quiet child and I talked to her no more than thrice before.

But I barely even knew the Blackwoods had a son and all. So I was fascinated on what this guy was doing in what was supposed to be Mrs. Blackwood's and my room.

So I go and talk and Mrs. Blackwood introduced him to me and we play that day.

We soon became really nice friends. He even adjusted his classes so we could study together and it was him who taught me horse riding and sword fighting. But he can't accompany now because he took up the job of tailors after his parents. We met every single day till date and obviously became inseparable. And yeah. There you go!" you explained.

"Aw! So that's how you two met!" he grinned. "I always wondered how you two became so close."

Just then someone knocked, you get up and open the door.

"Hey Edmun--Oh it's you!" he realised.

"Yea--" you started but he didn't let you finish.

"I interrupted something, didn't I? Carry on. Sorry." He smirked and turned around.

You sigh "James, nothing was going on. But nevermind, was it something important?"

"Don't lie." he smirks, "And it was nothing important. But now I know where to find you next time." he laughed and walked off.

You rub your forehead and close the door, leaning against it.

"Blackwood?" Ed laughs, standing up and walks towards you.

"Yeah." you laugh, "He thinks he's interrupting something and I had to convince he wasn't. He wouldn't listen."

Ed laughs but says, "Wasn't he?"

"Huh?" you ask but notice that Ed was closer than he was before.

"Wasn't he interrupting?" he asks again.

"What?" you laugh.

"Well, I wouldn't be pleased if he interrupted this." he laughed, caging you between the door and him.

He looked into your eyes and slowly your lips met.

Your arms were around his neck and his around your waist.

As you pulled back, you gazed into his eyes. Still as deep and enchanting as before.

"I somehow can never get enough of you." he laughs.
