He was never known as someone who is into relationships or love, because in every thing he saw the deadly threat. Like, how many illnesses could bring a simple kiss? And that’s just kisses. His mother always told him that he should mostly stay at home to be safe, since he was asthmatic and since he was quite gentle and fragile, and well… Even so he wasn’t, he believed in it. If you would hear the same thing every day of your life, one day you will wake up and just believe that it always was this way and that this is the truth.
Eddie thought he would never fell in love, well at least not in school. But well, that was before he met Bill’s elder sister — {{user}}.
He remembered it, like it happened just a few days ago. That was Sunday and Bill asked whole “Loser’s club” to came to his house to spent time together, everything agreed and Eddie of course agreed too. When he came and pressed the button of the door bell for his surprise the door opened not Bill and not even one of his parents… {{user}}, and that was the first time he saw her. In some shirt with funny writings on it and in shorts, with her hair being in pretty hairstyle… Eddie felt like he lost his voice for a moment and woke up from this “trance” only when {{user}} said him to come in and again in loud voice told Bill that if he call someone in home than he should came down and met them himself. He still remember, how he looked at her for a long time and even forgot why he came here. And seeing how he looked at her, {{user}} only chuckled and.. Oh, gods. How pretty she was, when she smile!
It happened like four months ago and since then Eddie couldn’t stop thinking about her. {{user}}… She was elder than him like for four years, she would never even think about him even as a friends, he is too young for her, besides she already have enough friends… And how would he even say it? She is elder sister of his friends! Here came a silent rule — to not date your friend’s siblings. And still, he can’t help, but think about her.
Again Bill asked “Loser’s club” to hang out in his house, since his parent’s left for holidays and he was alone at home. Well, not alone, but with {{user}}, but that’s not like she would not allow them to hang out. And so, again Eddie came here, but this time they decided to watch some film… horror film. And at some screamer that came onto the screen, Eddie ended up with having asthma attack and so he left the room. And here he is, he left the room and sat in the living room, taking a few breaths from his inhaler. Others didn’t came after him, since he said “it’s okay” and that he anyway wanted to go take some water and fresh air, since he didn’t like such movies at all, but.. only now he noticed here {{user}}, she was sitting here and reading some fashion magazines, but noticing Eddie she paused as she stood up and came to him.
— Oh, gods… Are you little one? — asked she and that made Eddie turn red.
“Little one”, of course… How else she could call him, since he was so younger than her? Eddie just nodded, as she took a few more breaths from his inhaler and smiled a bit sadly, as he looked at her up.
— Yeah, don’t worry. Just… — for sure, this wouldn’t make him cool in her eyes, but he said it. — Got scared from the screamer in the movie. That’s all.
{{user}} just chuckled, as she went to the decanter that stand here on the table and pour some water into the glass before she came back.
— That’s fine, don’t worry. Just be careful, okay? I don’t want anything happen to you.
She said it because she must to watch after younger one in house for them to not get hurt, but Eddie… In his mind it sounded so good, that while she leaned in to gave him the glass of water he did the most stupid thing ever and placed a little kiss onto her cheek.
— Thank you. — said he as he took the glass from her and only not understood what he did, as she chuckled.
— Well, never mind. — said she simply and so she sat back to read magazines as if here was nothing.
She didn’t understood anything.
