Amour Mystérieux

EDDIE'S POV

I threw my phone across my bed and went back to my book. I had been pretty much avoiding Bradlee, using my time to do more productive things like reading. Except I couldn't understand anything on the page cause the book turned out to be upside down.

"Ughhh," I groaned out and launched the book at the door. I spun around in my chair bored, there was nothing to do in this damn house.

I jumped up at the doorbell ringing, the pizza must be here.

Running down the stairs, I stopped to get my wallet before going to open the door. My eyes widened once I saw who was at the door.

It wasn't the pizza person.

"Edwa-"

"No."

I tried to close the door on him but he put his foot in the doorway stopping me, "Ow, that hurt Edward."

"I'm sorry!! Are you okay?" I said immediately getting on my knees to look at his foot.

"Umm...Edward." Bradlee looked down at me and gulped. My eyes widened when I noticed the position I was in.

I got up quickly and cleared my throat trying to ignore my reddening face.

"Why are you here?"

"Edward~ I miss you...and you have been ignoring my calls and text and I don't know why." He said looking down at his feet with a slight blush.

"Why do like me?"

Bradlee looked up at me and stared not saying anything. After a while of just him staring, I shook my head and scoffed.

Of course.

"See you can't even tell me."

"No no, it's just I feel so much with you....that I've never felt that with anyone else that I can't put it into words. I like you, Edward. A lot." Bradlee said grabbing my hands and kissing them.

"Please just give me a chance. Please."

I looked him in the eyes trying to see if he was being honest.

He was.

"Ahhh... fine~," I said rolling my eyes and letting him into the house.

He gave me a big toothy smile before hugging me and spinning me around.

"Yay!!"

I chuckled at his childish behavior before pulling away. Bradlee started to lean in, but the doorbell rang causing me to back away.

"I should get that..."

He nodded his head his eyes never once leaving my lips.

I quickly opened the door trying to ignore Bradlee's heated gaze.

"Hi! Thanks for the pizza here's a 20 keep the change bye!" I didn't let the pizza guy get a word in before I quickly shut the door.

"Hungry?"

"Not for the pizza."

"No-no-no. If you want this..." I trailed off going closer him and putting my lips on his ear, "You gonna have to work for it."

"Oh, I plan too."

I blushed before motioning him to follow me to the kitchen. He sat down at the barstool as I got plates and soda.

"Thank you," Bradlee said smiling at me as I handed him a plate and a can of soda.

I sat down and opened the pizza box and grabbed myself a slice, biting into it.
