Him

IX

I woke up to a knock on my door.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I opened my door to Peter leaning on a stone column. My rooms door opened to one of the halls that is open to the garden.

"You said you would come to the beach with me?" He said before adding on that it was said last night at the party.

"I did? I mean I DID!" I said pretending I remembered, I didn't.

"Just give me a few minutes, I'll meet you on the  porch that overlooks the beach!" I said shutting the door on his face.

When did that happen!?

I rushed to putt on my newly made two piece and wrapped a sarong around my waist, I then ran to meet Peter on the porch.

"Sorry.." I muttered as we made our way down the long trail of stairs to the beach.

"You have nothing to apologize for, love." He said, his face turning red. When we got down to the beach and placed our towels Peter picked me up bridal style and ran to the water, soon throwing me in.

"How romantic, mr. lover boy." I said sputtering sarcastically after I came up out of the water.

"Aren't I just wonderful at luring the female species into my trap!" He laughed before dropping under water, the water was quite murky so I couldn't see him. I started to panic.

"Pater?" No response.

"Peter!" Still no response.

"PETER!?" this time I yelled.

All of a sudden I was lifted up by Peter, I could feel his muscular torso on my back.

"Don't worry, I'm here." He laughed.

"You scared the living HELL OUT OF ME!" I squealed.

"I'm flattered you care." He said sarcastically as he carefully placed me down.

"Y- no.. yes, of course I do!" I huffed turning away, flustered.

"I have a question, Ariah?"

"What's up?" I said, we were now making our way to the towels so we could go back to our rooms.

"Have you chosen out of Edmund and I yet?" He said quietly.

"No.. there's a problem actually." I muttered, stopping and turning to face him.

"What, did I do something!?" He said panicky.

"I kinda love you both and I hate the thought of having to choose between you two!" I said quickly.

"Then don't." He said, calmly.

"W- what?" I stuttered.

"We can stay here forever, as long as you need." He said, putting on a sweet and understanding smile.

"Gee. Thanks!" I said before tipping him and running off laughing with him right behind me.

"Hey, Ed!" I yelled.

"Yes, my love?" He responded with a grin plastered across his beautiful face.

"Since when was that my name?" I chuckled.

"Since I said so." He said standing and walking over to me, dominantly.

"Oh.." I said getting lost in thousands of different trails of thoughts, one of them consisting of why Edmund is so freakishly taller than me.

"What did you need?" He said lifting my chin with his thumb and pointer finger.

"Since it's a rainy day, I thought we could get some tea and sit in front of the fire together?" I replied sheepishly.

"Of course, my love." He said, giving me a sly look when he called me his little Nick name again.

"Then off we go!" I proclaimed turning around so Edmund wouldn't see my face.

Soon enough Ed and I were sitting in front of the fire cuddling and talking about the picnic that the Pevensie siblings and I had planned.

"I can bake a cake for dessert?" I said, my head looking up at his face from its resting place on his lap.

"I'm sure Susan and Pete would be fine with that." He muttered, continuing to stroke my hair.

"I love you.." I said, rolling into his stomach and falling asleep.
