Jaded affection / Eddie Munson

52. Happy

"Hey Ed?" I say as we walk into the house.
"What's up?" He says shutting the door behind him.
"I want to let our friend know my moms awake."
"Ok, well do you want to get them all together and maybe invite them over tonight after our dinner date?"
"Yeah we can get some drinks and chill if they are free."
"Ill call them all for you, if we head out at like 5 to go to dinner we can tell them all to come by at 8."
"Ok, im going to go outside for a cigarette."

I give Eddie a kiss and head to the backyard. I sit down in one of the chairs on the patio and light up my cigarette and lean back into the chair.

I truly am so happy right now. My moms awake, even though I was holding on I was starting to think that maybe she wouldn't wake up but she did and I couldn't be happier. I mean I am still nervous that something could still happen to my mom and my life isn't perfect, life will never be perfect and as long as Paul is around im going to be on edge most of the time. I'll never fully be able to relax with him here. But next time he tries anything ill make sure he regrets it.

Since that last Monday in the bathroom I started to carry the knife my mom gave me in my pocket in school or I store it in my bra. I dont care if I get caught. I wont let him touch me again. Yes im afraid he could have something done to my mom or just my friends but I cant just let him walk all over me . I just hope things will settle down and if Paul was the one behind my moms accident I hope he goes away for a long time. Then maybe my life can settle down and I can have a somewhat normal life, minus all my own issues. I sigh and take the last drag out of my cigarette the put it out in the ashtray and head inside.

When I get in I don't see Eddie in the kitchen or the living room, so I head down to my room and there I see him sitting on my bed rolling a joint.

"I should have know." I said smiling and walking over to him.
He looks up and grins at me.
"What ? Am I that transparent ?"
"No its just what I was thinking about."
He chuckles "I was hoping this would make you hungry, figured with everything going on your anxiety might be acting up and making you not hungry."

Oh wow, I cant believe how much Eddie already knows me. Yeah its been over a month but no guy has even really understood me like he does, most I don't think wanted to. He surprises me time and time again. I smile at him.

"What?" He says looking confused.
"Nothing its just that only after a month you already understand me and it means a lot to me."
He smiles. "Well sit down and lets smoke this." He says holding it up.

He grabs his lighter and lights it up taking a few hits off it and passes it to me.
"So who's all coming?"
"Steve, Nancy, Robin, Vicky, Monica and Dan. I figured we could do our older friends for this one so we can smoke wherever we want and not have to leave the room,"
"Well I don't think Robin, Vicky or Nancy smoke."
"Steve said Nancy does."
I look at Eddie shocked.
"You sure he said that, I mean I've know here since freshman year, she was my first friend here and she has never smoked with me."
"He said its only been a few times she doesn't do it all the time. But how do you know Vicky doesn't smoke?"
"I dont know I just assume she doesn't I haven't smoked with Robin either."

Eddie has a smug look on his face and now im wondering if he knows something I don't.

"What aren't you telling me? I know you know something."
He smiles. "I've sold to Vicky before."
"You did not." I say shocked .
"Yes I did." He says with a smile.
"What the hell I fell so out of the loop."

We both laugh.
When we finish up the joint I decided I want to change, So I throw some leather pants on and some black heals. Just to spice it up a little. I also grab a low cut dark green crop top and some random chain necklace and I make sure Eddie's ring is on.
