'A little birdie told me you left the building with my ex,' Eddie said, more of a statement rather than an accusation. Right when I tried to take in hand into mine, he had to pop the undesired sentence. I grumbled under my breath, shoving my hands back into my coat pockets.
Eddie had requested to take a stroll that warm night, just to lay low and smell the roses. Apparently, the night was young and this was the way to do it. We started from the Daily Bugle building, taking a long way around to just walk in each other's company all the way back to our apartment. Of course, being by Eddie's side was always refreshing but when those sullen words came about, I started to rethink my words.
Does Eddie follow us?
'You don't have to keep tabs on me,' I said to him, rolling my eyes. I found a piece of chipped asphalt on the sidewalk, kicking it forward with every stride. 'I'm perfectly capable of handling myself.'
Thanks for the no help, earth trash.
'Shut your trap, Sin,' I murmured. Eddie's arm looped through mine, knowing I was starting to get riled up. I was tugged close, making me lose my balance and rock to stumble into him.
The street we walked on was too silent that night, the only sounds in the air were our own. Maybe because it was eleven and it was a weekday, but we took our chances. My own footsteps were loud and my heels making the case worse. The lamposts above cast moving shadows around us, my eyes watching my feet in a trance.
'I worry about you,' he murmured. 'I'm lawfully allowed to do that.'
'I'm lawfully entitled to punch you,' I retorted back. 'Don't do it.'
