Kayleigh's pov
I finished my work before Eddie could finish his interview. I told my boss, I was feeling sick so he let me go home early. I got home and put on ice series on the TV to binge watch and ordered pizza. I had already finished the first movie and was in the middle of the second movie when my door bell rang. I went to get the door to see Eddie leaning on the door with his jacket hanging on his shoulder and messy hair like he ran his fingers in his hair multiple times. I looked at him shocked, "Eddie what are you doing here?" he had a pissed look on his face, "you left without meeting me and you don't look sick either!" I gasped "Are you drunk?" he nodded saying 'a little' I let the door wide open to let him, he walked straight to the couch and sat on the couch and grabbed a slice of pizza. I watched him in surprise, "Can I get you something?" he nodded looking straight in my eyes chewing pizza, "yes, you!" I crossed my arms over my chest as I chuckled in annoyance, "that's not happening, I don't know you." He patted on the seat next to him I walked over and sat next to him on the couch, "We can change that, tell me what would you like to know about me?" We asked each other basic questions of likes and dislikes the movie was long forgotten. Sometime later when I was telling him about my love for movies he pulled me in for kiss, I tried to resist but I gave up and one thing led to another. He lay down next to me on the bed while I looked up at the ceiling, "Eddie can I ask you something?" he hummed in response, "are you single?" He slid towards me, "Not exactly but I want to tell you something!" He paused for a second while I waited for him to speak trying my best to control my emotions 'you better say something good or I'll throw you out' his next words took me by surprise "Will you wait for me till I break up with my ex and get my shit straight? " all I could manage was a nod. We laid next to each other for sometime until he decided to leave. After he left I returned to bed and drifted off to sleep.
It's been a month since the night Eddie came over drunk and we hooked up. Ever since that day, he would often come over to my house and we would do things! I still haven't told anyone about this enchilada. I am starting to think that I am just his booty call. It's been few weeks since he broke up with his girlfriend Angela but he hasn't yet asked me out on a date. We haven't even watched a movie together, In fact when we hangout with our group he acts very cold towards and distant towards me whenever I ask him about it he just brushes me off saying 'I am just thinking too much'. I have been keeping tabs on tabloids to see any news on him, I know that what tabloids upload is not the whole truth but there is always some truth to it. He has been seen leaving clubs with multiple models and actresses in his arm. This thing between us is just making me emotionally tired so I am thinking maybe I need to talk about this to someone, I can't leave him nor I can tolerate this booty call behaviour anymore. Jay called me in the morning to check if I had plans for lunch but I didn't so we planned to grab lunch at Rudy's diner after he promised me that it was not a date.
I waited till the clock stroke 1:00 and left for the diner. As I entered the diner and looked around to find Jay but he was nowhere in sight, I rolled my eyes and grabbed a corner booth. I waited for another 10 mins until Jay finally entered. He slid across me and flashed me a sweet smile asking, "How long have you been waiting?" he asked feeling a little guilt but his smirk never left his face which only earned a glare from me meanwhile a waitress came to take our order. We ordered our food and chatted about work, Beth and other things, I thought of asking him about Eddie but I couldn't form words in my mouth to ask.
Once we finished food a waitress came to ask us if she should bring the bill, I was about to nod but Jay stopped me and dismissed her, "Kay what is it? You seem stressed!" I released the breath I didn't know I was holding back, "there is something I need to tell you no actually ask you!" Jay raised an eyebrow in concern, "Kay tell me what is it?" I bend a little and spoke to him in whisper, "You need to promise me first that you won't talk about this to a single soul!?" he chuckled but genuinely promised, "I promise, you can trust me." I took a deep breath, "So do u remember when we first met?" He nodded a bit confused, "Yes, why?" I said it all out in one breath as I released that breath, "Sothatnightwemadeoutinbathroomandwearesleepingwitheachother!" he tried to give me a stern look but failed and bursted in laughter, "I didn't get a single word, try speaking slowly and clearly this time!" I drank a sip of the water, "that night me and Eddie made out in washroom when his girlfriend caught us. Few days later he came over to my house and we had sex." he sighed and shook his head in denial, "I had figured there was something going on." I looked at him confused, "Look Kay, I know you are in love with him but you need to understand he will only break your heart." tears welled up in my eyes, "why would you say that? I asked him if he wants something serious and he said yes." He held my hand with sympathy, "Kay he is not the right guy for you, he sleeps with everything that moves. He is a playboy and he doesn't even know what is commitment or going on a date is like!" I nodded wiping the tear from eye while he continued, "I can tell you, you already like him! I would suggest you should walk out before it is too late." I nodded with my head down while he held the back of my hand gently as he spoke, "You deserve far more better Kayleigh and I am not just saying because you are my friend but because I know you do!" After sometime we changed the topic and chatted a little while before getting back to work and after Jay promised that he won't confront about this to him. I thought a lot about what Jay said at night and decided to give Eddie another shot.
