Chapter 8

Waking up to my early alarm clock, wasnt as bad now knowing I was getting up to ride before college, and the first week had been really good, so much better than were I had been before, so I didnt feel as bad even though it was dark.

At the yard there were only few people there, and fortunatly it was Eddie and Emily, both had been so welcoming when I first came to Norwich. Eddie was 2 years older than me and slightly taller, but slim build, his hair was naturally curly, however his light brown hair was often styled. Similarly to myself Eddie was at college, and he was doing a second course, working with horses, he was also a keen animal lover and had 2 jack russels, Mike and Spike, who loved the freedom of the yard.

What I like about Eddie is I know I can be myself, not the fake person I know I can be. I would love to be in a relationship with him, but i wouldnt want it to end our friendship if it didnt work out, plus I dont even know if he feels the same way about me. Although there are many times we have gone out for lunch together usually some one else will tag along, and even if it is just the two of us its more like going out with a friend.

Eddie had brought Sugar in for me this morning, and was leading her thrugh the gate when I walked towards him.

"where you going to ride this morning?" he asked, whilst twidling the leadrope round his hand.

"yeah, did you want to go for a short hack, I have to get to college as the usual time, so wont be as far as we go normally" I replied.

He agreed so we went out through the main gates before getting to the litttle country lane, which we had a trot down, and when we reached the bridle path we slowed to a walk. Eddie then came along side me and we had the general conversation cathing up on each others day to day life, when he questioned whether I was arounf that evening, and being a monday I was hoping to go out clubbing, as tuesday I had no work or college, plus Belle had seemed down so it might cheer her up, but I didnt tell him that instead I said I should be.

"Great! I can pick you up at 7 and we can go out for a romantic meal" he said trying not to look me straight in the face, incase I said no I dont want to do that.

My heart skipped a beat, that was basically him asking me to be his without saying it staright out.

"That would be great, but I feel bad I havent seen much of the girls this week, so why dont you come to  mine, and meet them, I will cook, and you can always stay over, they wont care" I said tring to hide my happiness. 

I hugged sugar before getting in m car and leaving for college, when he kissed me goodbye, he is so cute bless him, I love him in a way I have never felt before. After an incredible start to the day, the rest of it flew by, and on my way home after stopping to pick up a selsction of foods to cook, I began to think how lucky I was and after a lots of ups and downs, I have come out of it with a great family, my best friends by my side, my lil baby sugar, and now my perfect boy.

I skipped through the door, and they all seemed happy with the suggestion I cooked, even though it ended badly more often that not. They also looked forward to meeting Eddie as they had never seen him face to face only his profile picture on facebook.

The evening was the best, okay the food would have been better had I not set the fire alarm to the whole block of flats of, causing us to all evacuate the building minutes after Eddie stepped in the door, but to be fair I am blonde what do people expect. Eddie pulled me close in my cold bed warming me up, as I could feel him breath on the back of my neck. I felt like I didnt deserve someone as good as him, but while it lasted I would make the most of it.

We all good up at 8 as we had a shopping trip planned to stratford, and Eddie was meeting his parents for lunch, so by the time I was ready it was 9:30 which gave me enough time to put the washing on  and empty the dishwasher. Esme and myself went to cath the train but it wasnt running so we had to wait on the station for the next when I recieved a phone call form belle, the perfect date Ashley had  organised had been cancelled, and yet again letting her down, so we told her to come with us.

The shopping was great, and I had chance to get my extensions put back in as well as gatting my eye extensions done, so overall it had been successful, and I think everyone got what they wanted to do done.

As I had work the next day it wasnt long after we got back before I headed of to bed, when Belle went out..
