Give Me Love

Ed pulled away with a shocked expression,

“I’m sorry; I don’t know what came over me.” He looked embarrassed, and shifted awkwardly in his seat, I wanted to say something but my words caught in my throat. “I think I should go.” He started to get up. I grabbed his arm and stopped him before he could move any further away,

“No, it’s okay. I mean, I don’t mind, really.” I blushed as he sat back down, looking nervous. He looked down at my hand that was still resting on his arm gently; he placed one of his over the top and smiled up at me.

“Really?” He asked, giving me a smile, I nodded,

“It’s been a while since anyone apart from Harry’s shown me any sign of affection. Well, in that way.” I blushed; Ed raised his eyebrows, looking as if he didn’t believe me. I smiled shyly and looked down at my free hand that was toying with the hem of my shirt. We sat in silence for a moment, until I looked up at Ed; his eyes were piercing in to me as he shifted closer.

“I know we’ve just met April, but you make me feel warm inside. Like a hot water bottle.” We both smiled at his comparison, “What I mean is that in the few hours we’ve spent together, you’ve made me happier than I’ve been for about a year now, and you intrigue me. I want to get to know you and make you feel special, and treat you properly and….”

I cut him off before the tears that welled in my eyes fell. I rested my hand on his cheek as I kissed him softly. He smiled into me and relaxed, letting his hands snake around my waist, leaving my hand to run up into his soft hair hand rest on the back of his neck. I felt his tongue trace along my bottom lip, asking to let him in. I allowed him entrance and leant back on the sofa, resting my head on the arm, Ed followed suit and laid himself over me, gracing the skin on my stomach softly with his hands. Ed moved his head down and kissed my collarbone causing me to moan and tighten my grip on his hair. He moved back to my lips kissing them with a little more aggression this time, I could tell by the way he was pressing himself against me that he was feeling as untouched as I was. I pulled away for air, letting Ed continue kissing my neck,

“Maybe you should stay the night.” I breathlessly suggested. Ed lifted his head up quickly and his eyes met with mine,

“April, I know we’re moving fast but that might be a bit too fast.” He smiled softly, I laughed a little and shook my head lightly,

“No, not for that. It’s almost two in the morning, you’re half cut and your hotel is about half a mile into town. I don’t mind sleeping on the sofa for one night.” I smiled as did Ed.

“Okay, but I’m not letting you sleep on the sofa, you’ll share the bed with me.” He let a cheeky grin slip through his plump lips. I smiled back and waited for him to reunite his lips with mine, as they touched I heard my phone vibrate wildly in my bag. I groaned and rolled my eyes. “Do you want to answer that?” Ed asked, noticing that I wasn’t really in the mood to talk to anyone else.

“I probably should, whether I want to or not.” I laughed as Ed let me up; I grabbed my bag and put it on my lap, pulling out my phone in the process. It was Harry calling.

“Hello?”

“Aaaaaprriiiiilllll!” Harry screamed down the phone,

“What do you want Potter?” I asked, I heard him laugh loudly at his nickname,

“I miss you, come back to the pub!”

“No, I’m going to bed now, sorry.” Harry moaned then laughed manically,

“Is Teddy boy still with you?” He asked, I could hear the smugness in his intoxicated voice,

“Yes.” I answered, awaiting the roar of laughter that surely came from the rest of the boys,

“Oooh, well I’ll leave you two to it! Don’t get pregnant! Love you byeeee!” He half yelled half laughed. No doubt the rest of our friends would know by morning.

“Is he still drunk?” Ed giggled, pulling me onto his lap as I chucked my phone on the coffee table,

“They all are.” We shared a laugh, “All my friends are alcoholics.” I informed him; we laughed again and settled back down on the sofa. After a moment of silence between us, Ed spoke up,

“Shall we go to bed?” He smiled after kissing my cheek. I nodded and pull his arm and led him into my room. Clothes were still in a pile on the floor next to my wardrobe where Harry had pulled everything out. I flipped on the light and grabbed some pyjama shorts and a vest top and excused myself into the bathroom to get changed and take my makeup off. I walked back in to my room to find Ed already led on my double bed in just his boxers. He was playing with one of my stuffed toys that were previously resting on the pillow now cushioning his fiery head.

“Having fun?” I asked, making him jump slightly. I laughed and joined him on my bed; Ed threw my toy to the end of my bed and rolled over onto his side to meet me in the middle,

“Not as much as I’m having now.” He smiled a lop-sided grin, “You look lovely.” He stated, brushing my hair away from my face.

“I haven’t even got any makeup on.” I blushed, burying my head into his shoulder,

“You don’t need makeup; you’re beautiful as you are.” I heard him smile through his words as he wrapped his arms around me, engulfing me in his warmth. I rolled over so that he was hugging me from behind,

“Yeah, well…” I whispered, before closing my eyes. “Goodnight Ed.” I wished him before drifting off,
“Sleep well gorgeous.” He whispered back. He exhaled and snuggled closer, I could feel him take a breath in and sigh, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. As I got used to the sensation, I smiled and allowed myself to fall into a deep sleep.
