TV and a Kiss

  Kim, me, Asshole (Jim) and Kevin sat and watched Edward answer questions for the audience on the show. He was the cutest thing as he smiled at everyone. Then a lady asked him a question that kinda worried me.

  "Do you have a girlfriend?"

  Edward just stared into the camera. It felt like he was looking at me.

  "Sure he does right Kim?" Asshole smirked.

  "Shut up loser, I'm trying to listen," I barked back.

  He gave me a look but shut up anyway. Edward leaned closer to the mic and shocked himself falling backwards. Jim started laughing. I gripped my chair in anger.

  "I would give my left nut to see that again," he said.

  That's it. I stood up and stood over him.

  "You're about to lose more then your left nut you dickhead. I suggest you pick what you say around me very carefully because I'm about to lose my fucking cool with you," I fumed.

  He shut up and looked up at me nervously. I walked out of the room to cool off. I just wanted Edward to come home so I knew he was okay. But I'm sure he'll be okay. I sat in the bed and grabbed his pillow. I breathed in and smelt his sent. I was now much more calmer. Kim came in.

  "Are you okay?"

  "Yeah I'm fine," I said.

  "(Y/n), I see the way you look at him. I know you love him and I'm sorry about Jim," she said in a small voice.

  "It's fine I'm sure he'll be more careful with his words now," I paused, "I do love him but there are better options out there other than me."

  She sat down next to me.

  "No you're perfect for him. I've never seen you so in love with anyone before. And he looks at you the same way. Everyone sees it."

  "Really? He does?"

  "Yeah and I think Joyce sees that too and she looks hella jealous," she laughed.

  I laughed along with her. She hugged me and left the room. I sat there thinking about it. Maybe he does love me, or everyone is just reading it wrong. Maybe I'll ask him tonight and see what he says.

Time skipppp
______________

  He came home and we all had dinner. I got ready for bed and waited for Edward. I was finally going to ask him. He came in and sat on the bed.

  "Hi Edward. Are you okay from earlier?"

  He nodded.

  "I uh want to ask you something," I said.

  He looked at me with anticipation.

  "Do you like... love me?"

  "Well yes of course I do. Your my friend," he said.

  "I meant like love me. Like the way Kim loves Jim (I guess)," I said.

  He just stared. It was like he was trying to figure that out. Maybe I was wrong. I started getting up.

  "Yes I do," he said.

  I stopped. I looked back at him. He loves me back? This was unreal.

  "So like you romantically love me?"

  He nodded. This was amazing. I started smiling big and he smiled back. I glanced at his lips. God how much I wanted to kiss them.

  He moved forward a little and I did too. Our lips finally made contact. His lips were soft and warm. My hand moved to the side of his face to deepen the kiss a little. His 'hands' hovered over my hips. We finally let go and looked into each other's eyes. This was it. We were finally going to be together.

  "Does this mean you want to be with me? Like I'll be your girlfriend and you'll be my boyfriend?"

  He nodded and smiled. I was so happy the I hugged him. We finally went to bed happy and I laid on his chest as I fell asleep.
