Second Chance (Edward Scissorhands x Reader)

Chapter Fourteen

Edward gave me another tight hug, though this time the hug caused me to have butterflies in my stomach. I hated this sensation, and I slowly came to realize, I liked him. I liked the man who hand used to have scissors for hands, and I couldn't help it. He was great, he was kind, talented, and he cared about me. That's all I ever wanted, in anyone.

I rested my head on Edward's chest, "I'll be here for as long as you'll want me to be."

Edward smiled, "Thank you, Y/N."

We stayed hugging each other for a bit, he didn't let go, and I just didn't move. It was comforting and reassuring to have him like this. My cheeks started to warm up, and my heart started to beat faster. I tried my best to act neutral, and it almost didn't work. We stayed hugging each other for a few minutes, but eventually Edward pulled away, he had a nervous expression on his face.

"Are you okay?" I ask, a bit concerned about his reaction.

Edward looked at me, "I'm worried about you."

A smile spreads across my face, the butterflies start getting stronger, and the heat on my cheeks build up, "You are?"

Edward nodded, "People could hurt you."

"Edward," I look up at him and get closer, "I can protect myself."

Edward still looked concerned, "Are you sure?"

I nod, "I'm sure."

Edward smiled down at me, "You know Y/N, you're really pretty."

I get a bit startled, he said that out of nowhere! I mean I wasn't mad but could of really had better timing there Edward, "Oh thank you. You also look really nice."

Edward takes a step closer towards me, leaning in only a few inches from my face, "Really pretty."

My heart keeps pounding harshly, I feel like I would turn into jello at any moment, and I knew that my face was completely red by now.

Then, he did it. He kissed me. My heart was just all over the place, I was trembling, and overall just a complete mess.

After a few seconds, he broke the kiss, "I love you, Y/N."
