Eddies POV

It was around 5:00pm. Richie and I lay with the covers over our bare bodies. We're tangled together as I play with Richie thick black curls. He's holding me tightly as we continue to talk. We've been laying here for hours, talking about everything and anything.

"It was just a game of spin the bottle, I was 12! It doesn't count." I giggle and he chuckles, "Eds! It still counts."

I roll my eyes playfully, "ok ok whatever." I smile as I cuddle closer and blush lightly "so..."

"So?" Richie whispers. I feel myself blush and hide my face a little, "So we just not gonna talk about what we just did?"

Richie bursts into laughter.

"Richie!" I blush harder as I cover my face with my hands.

"No, no I'm not making fun of you it's just.....you sounded like a girl!" He laughs harder. I turn bright red and sit up.

"Where are you going." He smirks.

"If you're gonna make fun of me then I just won't do you anymore." I grin and cross my arms over my chest.

"You didn't enjoy it?" He teases as he sits up and gets closer to my face.

"Maybe....Maybe not." I say and he chuckles "you're such a tease." He winks.

I giggle, "Gosh we really did that..." I say more to myself then to Richie.

"You ok?" Richie whispers and tucks a stray hair behind my ear.

"I'm better then ok..." he cups my face with his one hand and I lean into his touch.

"Richie...." I say softly, he pulls my closer and kisses my face lightly, "Yes Eddie my love?"

       Eddie my love

      Does he love me?

He calls everyone his love though, Beverly my love, stan my love....

"R-Richie I love you...." I say quietly and regret it immediately. It just slipped out so naturally. I meant it, but I regretted it.

       Richie didn't say anything and just stroked my hair, "I should get dressed..." he says softly and pecks my lips. He then got off the bed and began to get dressed.

        I just sat there and blushed as I watch him get dressed.

        "And he didn't even say it back!" I exclaim as I sat across from Bev in the cafeteria.

        "Don't worry hun, I'll just scold him like a mother." She smiles.

        "No no no! I don't want him knowing I'm upset...I don't want him to feel like he has to say it back," I sigh "you know what I mean...."

        "Aww Eddie." She smiles gently. I smile back. Suddenly I see Richie as Mike come to the table.

        Richie sits next to him, "Eddie spaghetti!" Richie pats him thigh from under the table and looks at Beverly, "Bevvie and I are having a sleep over this weekend!" He smiles at her and winks.

        She just rolls her eyes playfully and Richie laughs "Sorry Eds didn't mean to make you jealous." He says and laughs harder.

         "Shut up." I giggle lightly.

        "Don't worry Eds you're the one he's been sleeping with not me." Beverly smirks and takes a sip of her pop.

       "Woah! you guys did it..." mike says in shock. My eyes widen and look at Richie, "you told her about that!" I exclaim and hit him lightly. He just continues to laugh.

        "Wh-what's happening here?" Bill sat next to Beverly and Ben and Stan sit on the same side.
    
        "Nothing!" I say quickly causing Richie Bev and mike to laugh.

        "What did Eddie and Richie finally make sweet sweet love." Ben says it a joking tone, but we all stay quiet, "wait...did you."

         "Ugh!" I sigh and put my head in my hands. Richie rubs my back, "Eds it's not a big deal, we're 17 it's normal."

         "I mean we've all done it." Bev said as she continues to eat, "it's normal and whoever says it's not normal then they've obviously never been a teenager." She laughs lightly.

        "Wait Bev you've been laid?" I ask lightly as I blush, "hope you don't mind me asking." She just laughs and nods.

        "With yours truly." Ben smiles and laughs.

        "Wait you guys..." I ask, very confused.

        "We dated for like 8 months." Bev shrugs, "it honestly just made use better friends I guess, things don't always work out hun."

        I'm only finding out about all these things about my friends. Its already November, shouldn't I know all this stuff or are they only beginning to trust me?

       So many different questions I know have but the one thing that pops into my head, I thought makes my stomach drop a bit. I never told Richie that I was a virgin.

      I grew up in a house hold that was very traditional. Meaning, no sex before marriage. My mother has told me that since I was young.

       "Eds..." richie whispers, I snap out of my daze and look up at him. Everyone has moved onto different conversations and weren't paying attention to Richie and I anymore.

        "Y-yes? Are you ok?" I say back softly.

       "I was checking if you're ok." He laughs lightly, "Sorry I told Bev I thought she wouldn't tell anyone."

       "Rich..." I smile and put my hand on his thigh in a comforting manner, "I'm fine just I'm flustered."

       "Me too don't worry, you're not the only one." He smile widely.

        "Now stop being cute and shut up." I say and look back at Beverly to see what her and bill are talking about.

       I could see Richie out of the corner of my eye blushing. I knew that what I just said and my hand still being on his thigh would get him flustered.

      I honestly do love him, i just don't know if it's too soon or if he'll even love me back.
