Just before Autumn was about to get back to her house Edward held her hand and said

To be honest Autumn, I don't like this Eric guy. I think he's confused in his life, he cannot handle his relationships, he cannot confess to a girl if he likes her, he pretends to be so cool and happy all the time but I've seen him getting worried over small-small things. He says no one understands him, how in this world is that even possible? I know, you really love him a lot but he doesn't act like he could be an idol for others, what can you actually learn from him? Huh? Being sad? Confused? Negative? *he said being frustrated*

Autumn looked at him and sighed.

Well, the answer is right there in what you've just said*Autumn said*

Edward gave her a very confused look.

See he's an influencer, people learn from him, me being a fan, I learn and try to follow literally everything he says. I'm an adult now so I've my own mindset as well but think from that guy's perspective, he knows that so many teens follow him. He might be feeling like he cannot to do mistakes.
*Autumn said*

He's a human Edward, treat him like a human, he had breakups for some reasons, he can't be with his family whenever he wants, he has to follow some rules, doesn't matter how tired he is if there's a show he has to put on a big smile on his face.

Words are not enough to explain his life and situations.
I've said this before and I wanna say it again that Eric Anderson is a human, he can do mistakes, he can get upset, he can cry and be emotional, treat him like a human.

Still, he tries to stay calm in public regardless of whatever's going inside his head, whether he wants to do it or not.
He smiles, he spread positive vibes.
I am really proud that I'm his fan.

*Autumn said and smiled*

Edward couldn't take it, he hugged Autumn and started sobbing.

Edward's POV: And I'm really proud that I chose you, Autumn. You understand people, you understand me. I don't know if you'd still feel the same when I'll tell you that I'm Eric.
I'm scared, I scared to tell you that I'm Eric and I'm scared of being with you as Edward.

Hey! Hey! You alright? *Autumn asked worryingly while ruffling his hair*

Yes I'm, I don't know why I got emotional, I'm not a very emotional person to be honest.
I think I might be a little jealous of him because you love him *Edward scoffed while trying to hide his tears*

Autumn's Pov: I would have never said it first, not at least after the last time experience of being in a relationship. I don't know if we'll grow old together or won't be looking at each other ever again after a few weeks but there's one thing I know for sure that I cannot see him crying. I just cannot bear those tears in his eyes.

I love you *Autumn said quickly*

Wh.... Wha..what did you say? *Edward asked quickly wiping tears off of his eyes*

I love you, Edward, I felt bad when you said that you didn't send that text intentionally, I felt bad when you didn't confess properly*Autumn said innocently*

I..i.. Was about to confess Autumn, I thought that you didn't.....ah!forget it..
I really love you, I know it's love, I.. I just *Edward stuttered*

I.. Just love you so much *Edward whispered in Autumn's ear as he hugged her*

I didn't know how to say it before, I am really bad at it*he said innocently*

Autumn couldn't do anything except hugging him back lovingly.

(After an hour)

Autumn was about to fall asleep when she heard her phone buzzing twice.

She looked at her phone with one eye still closed.

"See you tomorrow"
Baby❤

It was from Edward.

Autumn smiled instantly.

Can't want! 🙈❤❤*she replied*

Eric looked at the text and smiled while closing his eyes.

He was supposed to fall asleep but tears started rolling down his cheeks.

Eric' PoV: What am I doing to this girl? I'm being so selfish, I'm hiding my identity, she loves Edward and not you Eric. I hope you won't leave me when I will tell you this Autumn. I don't wanna lose you.

After thinking too much he finally fell asleep.

(Next day)

Enjoy your date little Eric *Susan said after helping him with his Disguise*

I'm not little *Eric giggled and instead of taking his car he booked a cab*

5mins away *Edward texted Autumn*

I'm already waiting outside *Autumn replied*

Autumn was able to see a cab coming towards her house, she walked towards the road but the cab guy went away after dropping Edward there.

I thought we'll take the cab to wherever you might have decided to go *Autumn said while hugging Edward*

I have a plan, I don't want anyone to bother us today *Edward said while hugging her back tightly*

Let's go *Edward said while smiling*

Where are we going? *Autumn asked him while walking as her hands were just inches apart from Edward's hand*

To the woods, we'll walk there, we'll talk, take pictures together, know each other *he paused and looked at her* and then eat our lunch at the nearby restaurant. *Edward said as they continued walking*

Sounds great *Autumn said and smiled*

There was a very awkward silence between them for a while as they continued walking. Edward could feel her hands touching his hands while walking so without wasting any time on it, he intertwined his fingers with hers.

Autumn looked at him and then looked down.

Autumn?*Edward said*

Umhmm*Autumn didn't look at him*

You're getting shy aren't ya? *He said while smirking and looking at her*

No..no..not at all, why would I be shy? I'm not shy *she said and tried to look at Edward without smiling*

You're sure, you're not shy?*he paused*
Baby?*Edward said while looking right into her eyes*

Autumn smiled as she looked away.

Like any other couple who were at their starting phase of a relationship, they teased each other to make each other smile, they laughed together, they took a lot of pictures together, they hugged each other while looking into each other's eyes like no one else is there in this world to tear them apart.

It was the perfect relationship for them with a lot of imperfections. Autumn was able to see Edward's smiling face, she was able to see his blue eyes but the truth was still hidden from her sight that their relationship was built on something she could have never even imagined.
