We are both a mess (an Ed Sheeran fanfiction)

Chapter 9

It had been a week since Jake and Amanda’s wedding and well, since Ed and I had our first kiss. Despite the first album was done, he was busy because every night he had to play a gig in a different pub to start promoting himself. I just sat at the bar counter while watching him performing.

That night Jake showed up, tanned, with a big smile and without his wife. I hugged him and he started telling me all the things he had done and where he had been in his honeymoon, his facial expression changed from happy to serious.

-I’ve found out what happened to Adam.

-Oh…well I’m sorry Jake, I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to ruin your day.

-It was my fault.

-What? What are you talking about?-I didn’t understand him. Why his fault? It has no sense.

-Nikki…I…I knew Adam was going to come to the wedding. Amanda invited him, it seems they are friends or something like that. I didn’t want to tell you because I knew you wouldn’t come and I really wanted you to be by my side…-he sighed.-I’m sorry…really. How’s Ed?

-Fine, I guess…-I didn’t know what to do, what to say…Jake knew already my pain.- About Adam…don’t worry. I prefer not to think about it. I need to focus in something more important.

My mobile started ringing. Unknown number. When I answered I knew who it was.

-Stop calling me Adam or I will call the police and report you. Stop it.-I turned around and said it whispering because I didn’t want Jake to hear the conversation.

-But baby I can’t see you with another guy.

-What the fuck are you talking about Adam? We broke up 2 fucking years ago. Stop it. Leave me alone.-and I hang up when I saw Ed coming.

-Hey…-he smiled and gave me a kiss on the lips.- Who were you talking with?

-No one…wrong number.-Ed waved at Jake and stayed by my side, so I enclosed his waist with my left arm.-Well done.

-Get a room…I didn’t know  you were together. Fuck, I go to my honeymoon and see what happens... I can’t leave you alone but I’m so glad for you, guys.

We were talking about everything, like our next plans, the album…and sometimes someone of the crowd congratulated Ed for the gig. Jake took us home and what a relief! I started hating public transport. After having dinner we watched TV-covered in a blanket- although we didn’t pay attention to it. I put my hand under his t-shirt, stroking his torso, I really liked how he started  shaking sometimes when my hand touched his ribs.

-You are quiet tonight. Are you okay? You are so chatty most of the time.

-Yeah, is just I’m tired because of this afternoon, the short course has been boring. But everything is okay.-I smiled and started kissing him, I need it.

I could feel how our breath started to speed up and his hands were looking desperately for my clothes. Slowly I laid down on the couch and he didn’t stop kissing me.  My hands starting looking for his belt and we both had our breaths out of control. I needed him. I really needed him. The telephone started ringing again and I didn’t want him to answer. “Ignore it, please and keep kissing me” I thought.

-Wait…it could be important…it’s too late…-he said gasping and before answering he show me the screen of the phone, it said “unknown number” again, fuck…

-No…-before I could say something more he answered and put the speaker.

-Hey babe…I miss you so much. This afternoon has been amazing…-Adam’s voice. I was wide-eyed and Ed’s facial expression…indescribable.
