Messy Love (Ed Sheeran)

Intimate

I woke up to the sensation of lips sliding against the skin of my shoulder and neck. I flinched my eyes as the sun of my backyard was shining through the curtain, and when I tried to move, a somewhat uncomfortable soreness arose from my lower body....

I let out a deep breath as body began to regain consciousness, and a small chuckle was heard by my ear.

"Good morning," his soft voice whispered in my ear. His hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me close. I let out a little moan of discomfort, but turned my head to face him.

His blue eyes were warm,his smile content as he gazed at me. I pulled off another smile, for some reason, for once, enjoying the presence of someone else in my home. The thumping in my head was afflicting, but I tolerated it.

"Morning," my raspy reply caught him off guard a bit... As a singer, I usually always drink water before bed, since I get dehydrated quite quickly... but since I substituted it for alcohol-the exact opposite-my vocals sounded pretty sore.

He chuckled, giving me a peck as he pulled a few strands of my hair behind my ear.

"That's really sexy," he flashed his white teeth, and I couldn't help but blush and look down. 

It was then that I noticed that I was still naked, and felt a bit more embarrassed now.

"Oh my, that's why I was so cold," I joked playfully, even though I felt completely flustered.

He laughed and I pulled over the covers to get up. Habitually, I stretched my arms out, feeling sore as hell. I rose an eyebrow and looked over my shoulder at Ed. 

He was propped on one elbow, looking at me in the most flattering way possible...

I seriously wasn't used to this... I mean... I have such a low self- esteem...

I tried to move my legs, and that odd soreness came back.

"What the hell did you do to me, Sheeran," I said as I arose and quickly shuffled to my dresser, pulling out some fresh undergarments and quickly grabbing a towel.

"You tell me," he propped up now, watching me as I bent down.. I rose an eyebrow, feeling my face redden as I covered my naked self in the towel.

"What?" I asked hesitantly... There is no way in hell that I could have done anything that extreme. He became a little shy as he shrugged, leaving me to my imagination.

I shook my head, trying to keep a smile of embarrassment off of my face.

"We are never going to mix wine and liquor again," I laughed, walking around and heading into the guest room. I bet Ed's a little confused on how I just walked out.

I quickly grabbed a medium sized shirt, a nice one with a big ol' Yoga on the front- one my little brother loves to wear since he's a big Star Wars fan. I then grabbed some newly packaged boxers and some sweats and walked back into the room. 

He eyed me, and smiled at the clothes.

"Thought you'd like to get cleaned up and wear this while I wash your clothes...if that's okay?" I passed him the clothing. He rose an eyebrow.

"So you do this often?" he smirked, and I felt a little disappointed at his comment. My smile disappeared and I shook my head, grimacing a bit. I don't think he knows I lost it.. to him..

I caught a glimpse of my promise ring I have worn since I was 11... and held in the knot in my throat again.

"God no.. This is the stuff I keep packed in the guest rooms when my male relatives come over," I explained. 

"Oh" he replied, looking closely at me. I caught his gaze and sighed, letting out a smile.

"What's wrong?" he sat up now, folding the clothes neatly on his lap, before giving me a concerned look.

"Nothing," I lied. "Well, freshen up and I'll make you some brunch," i laughed, the gleaming in his aqua eyes made me feel a bit less upset about everything, just for a second...

"The bathroom is this door straight across, any necessities you need should be in the cabinets," i pointed, making sure he felt the very best comfortable.

"Thank you," He stood up and as I waited for him to walk out, he took me by surprise, pulling me against his chest and setting his lips on mine softly, a smile still contoured on his face. I couldn't get over how adorable he was.

"You never fail to surprise me. You just get better and better," he murmured, kissing my temple before walking out. I felt a little dazed, the butterflies in my stomach in complete chaos again. I had to sigh as I watched him close the door behind him, before quickly jumping into the shower to freshen up.

It felt weird... I felt weird.. It was an odd feeling. It was like, I felt like a whole different person, but I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing yet...

I rushed through the shower and quickly headed for the kitchen as I waited for Ed to come out.

I began to cook, making a mixture of breakfast and lunch. I became so focused on my cooking, that by the time I finished, I jumped in fright when a pair of hands wrapped around my waist.

"Did I scare you?" he laughed, and I slightly elbowed his torso playfully.

"No, I just almost burned myself on purpose," I joked sarcastically. He snickered and kissed my neck again, making me squirm and laugh.

"It smells delicious," he looked at me, as I tried to serve him. He then quickly grabbed the plate from my hand and pecked my cheek.

 We sat down across from one another, and I couldn't help but notice how he'd stare at me. We ate in silence before I couldn't take it anymore and switched on the TV across from us.

TMZ was the first to pop up, with Harvey watching one of his members explain new news.

"Well, last night we caught new 19 year old celebrity, Barbara Alexis who seemed to be trying to get into a 21 and up bar," the blonde man explained, I rose an eyebrow, a smile to my face as they showed the picture of my ridiculous face I made.

Ed's chuckle behind me made me laugh out loud.

"But then what was even better is that she was with the famous 24 year old UK singer songwriter, Ed Sheeran, in which was seems to be a date since he drove off with  her beside him, they were all googly eyed and sentimental as they held hands," I swallowed my food too quickly, almost choking. I quickly grabbed my drink and gulped it down frantically.

"Best part about it is that a few of our employees followed them, and I guess Ed Sheeran spent the night at Barbara's new Beverly Hills home."

The sudden 'Bam chika waow waow' music they played afterwards made me slightly spill out my juice from my mouth.

I grabbed the remote and switched it to golf, my heart thumping with embarrassment. I turned to Ed, his eyes widened as he held a smirk to his face.

"Well then," he said as he stuffed his mouth with the crepes I made.

I had no idea what he meant by that...
