The Demon I Let Ruin Me

SEVEN

I'm taken aback, more than aback by his words and I seriously can't tell if he's joking and if he's not than, I honestly don't know how to feel.

"I'm serious Mckayla. Why do you think I come around so much, why do you think I got this job. I like you. I'm not kidding." he explains.

"Well, Edward, I don't-I don't ummm."

"Like me back? Yeah I'm use to it. It's fine." he sighs.

"No, no. I was gunna say, I don't know what to say. I mean, I have feelings for you, I know that I just don't know if this, if we are a good idea." I explain, the words are new to even me.

"Why? Because I'm not cookie cutter perfect like you?" he asks, getting upset.

"I am not perfect Edward. Far from it. It's just been a while since I've dated anyone and I don't want to mess it up." I admit. His smile appears, the one I've some to admire and he grabs my hand.

"Who cares if you mess it up, If I mess it up? Relationships are hard but I want to try, I've never actually been with anyone but you're the first girl I've ever wanted to try it with." he explains and I get butterflies.

"Are you sure we should do this?" I ask, again. This has been one hell of a 24 hours.

"Am asking aren't I?" he leans closer.

"I don't know, are you?" I smile and he nods, before anything can be said, were kissing and I feel electricity fill me as we kiss. I recognize this kiss, barely but it feels familiar, probably because we kissed last night as well.

"Eww, those two are kissing!" I hear a small kid's voice shouts and I pull away. I hear a couple more ews fill the room and I blush. I look up to Edward who seems un-phased and I sigh. Did I really just kiss Edward at work? Hell, did I really just kiss Edward? Again?

"I'll take that as a yes." Edward laughs and I nod, wiping the salvia off my face.

The next day, I wake up to a text from Edward to meet him outside of my apartment. With a gleeful smile, I get dressed and go downstairs, Edward is sitting on the hood of his car, scrolling through his phone and when he sees me, his smile matches mine and he presses his lips to mine. I have to admit that this feels kind of weird to me but its definitely something I can get use to.

"Hey beautiful." he breaths into our hug and his hot skin against mine makes me shiver a little. We let go and enter his car. "I'm taking you to my favorite spot in this whole country." he explains and we begin to drive.

"It's not like 10 hours away is it?" I ask playfully.

"No, just an hour." he laughs as we continue our drive. I stare at him and I can't actually believe we're dating. It's weird but great.
The drive is full of small conversations, he asks me about my family and where I grew up and why I chose to live in Troy. I explain that I've always loved it and I love their college and I hope to stay here for a long time. I explain that my father left when I was 4 and my brother chose to act like an ass our entire childhood and how now he is married and has a baby on the way and I'm excited to be aunt.

I realize that we're not going to a public place when buildings turn into trees and the roads become gravel. It's a really pretty sight n a sunny day like to day. He eventually stops at a small clearing with a small field. This place looks untouched by humans and all you can hear are birds and other animals. It's peaceful.

"It's wonderful." I tell Edward as we leave the car. He pulls a blanket and a basket from the back seat and we walk to the field. He lays out the blanket and offers for me take a seat. I do and he sits next to me. He pulls out some food and hands me some and I eat it.
