Chapter Three

Eddie's POV

Sonia was pissed.

"EDDIE! I swear to god if your doing some ga-"

"Mom! Mommy calm down. Nothings happening." Eddie pleaded with her. "Then what is HE doing here? On your bed!" She points at Richie making his face go red. "M-my parents.." Richie said, fixing his glasses from when he jumped back. "They.. got into a fight. My dad was drunk and my mom was really angry... so they fought and threw things and it scared me." He wipes away a fake tear.

Damn he was good.

"Mommy, he didn't know what to do. It wasn't safe for him there and his alcoholic dad kicked him out of the house. He has nowhere to stay, so he came here." I was always good at persuading my mother.

She looked at me then turned to Richie. "Why would I let you stay? You know you've never been my favorite out of Eddie's friends.." She said with her jaw clenched.

"Umm- I can sleep in the other room Mrs.K.. and I can take care of myself!"He started making up things for why he should be able to stay.  You could tell Richie wanted this. I wanted this. all of a suden a brilliant idea went off in my head.

My move LOVES food! So I can tell her..

"Richie can cook! Really well too! He makes all sorts of dishes and he even made this!" I held up my plate of food to show it to her.

Her eyes got wide and you could tell she was interested. "I even made you some too Mrs.K! it's down stairs." Richie piped up.

"Oh please, Richie dear, call me Sonia."

Mom decided to let Richie stay for as long as he needed as long as he cooked. But it did take a few minutes of arguing to let Richie sleep in my room. But he had to sleep on the floor, with an air mattress.

We silently set up Richies temporary bed on the floor, both remembering the moment we had before my mom walked in. Well, it wasn't really a MOMENT, nothing happened... I keep telling myself that over and over in my head.

"Hey Ed's?" Richie asked.

"Y-yes Chee'?"

"Thank you.. for letting me stay here. It really means a lot to have you accepting me." He blushed. He looked down trying to hide it but it was too late,I saw it already. "Hey Rich.. about before my mom burst in.." I started saying. "Oh that.. umm, I don't know what that was." He looked up at me. "I'm sorry.."

We both stared at each other taking in everything about that moment. The way he sat on the floor, legs crossed with blankets in his hands, the small line of blush on his cheeks, his glasses perched on his noes, making his eyes look bigger through the lenses.

He was perfect..

Before anyone could do anything to break the moment, I lean in and gently brush my lips up agents his, Kissing him. He leaned into the kiss slowly taking the lead. I ran my hands through his dark, thick hair, as he slid his hand up my back.

And In that moment..

Everything was perfect.

Authors note: Sorry the chapters arn't that long, especially this one. I will try to work on that little more but I'm planing to have lots of chapters. So even if they are small, I swear I'm not ripping you off with a short story! =) <3
