Thinking Out Loud // Ed Sheeran

Chapter 23.

Meredith's POV

"What're we doing today?" I ask Ed rolling over onto my side on the couch as he walks in the livingroom from the hall.

"What are you asking me? I'm not even from around here, I don't know what there is to do." He laughs walking into the kitchen. I manage to push myself off the couch and follow him. Leaning against the doorframe, I watch as he puts the kettle on the stove.

"Well what do you want to do? I live here so I can do things other times, but you don't live here so pick." I huff as he turns around to face me.

"I don't know..." He trails off in thought. Opening the biggest cabinet I take out two mugs and pour the boiling water from the kettle into them. Placing a pepermint tea bag in each of them, I turn back to Ed.

"We can go ice skating." I smirk handing his mug to him.

"In California? I don't think there's enough ice..." He laughs making me send him 'the look'. The look that says 'Really Ed? Really?'.

"At an Ice skating rink, obviously. There's one pretty close, but I literally suck as ice skating." I giggle looking at the microwave for the time. It's 1:00 Pm, we already ate as well. So why not?

"Well that's fine, because I'm quite good at ice skating." He replies finally taking the tea bag out of the mug and throwing it in the trash. I do the same and pour a bunch of honey in the tea. I've never had as much tea in my life as I had sense Ed has been here.

"You? Good at ice skating?" I giggle. "Oh Teddybear, don't make me laugh."

"Funny. But believe it or not, I have a lot of skill. There were a lot of ice skating rinks in London." Ed scoffs rolling his eyes and sipping his tea. I take a big gulp of my tea before placing the mug down and stairing Ed right in the eyes.

"Lets go then. We have to put this to the test, Teddy." I say. "Race you to the car!" I scream before running out into the living room, grabbing my purse and jacket next to the door, and bolting to the stairs.

Taking the stairs is faster than the elavator if you run as fast as you possibly can. I run down and kick the door open that leads out to the lobby. I managed to slip my coat on, on the way down the stairs.

I wave to John as I bolt towards the lobby doors that lead outside. Just as I get to them, the elavator dings and Ed comes oit. Right when he see's me, he starts running.

 My car is by the corner of the building; and believe me, Ed is fast. Proably from all the practice he's had running from giant mobs. He passed me when I'm only about five feet away from touching my car. He puts his hand on it and immediatly turns and smiles at me.

"What's my prize for winning?" He asks as I walk closer to him. I place a single kiss in his lips and smirk before side stepping to get to the drivers side door.

"What? That's it?" He asks. I turn back around and before saying anything else, I pull him in for another kiss. I have to stand on my tippy toes because of the hight difference. I can actually feel him smiling into the kiss.
