Make me Better ~Eddie Munson x Reader~

12. A Negroni

"You will want to sit down for this." I said and he complied, putting his hands together as he leaned towards me waiting for my answer. "I uh... I'm stuck in a biology project with her." I confessed and he raised an eyebrow at me. "And... I'm her tutor." And that's when Jeff cracked up at me. I looked at him, completely baffled by his response and he pointed at me.

"That's a good joke, like, really good." He said and I got slightly offended by it. I squatted in front of him and gave him a fake smile.

"You think I'm not capable of passing a test on my own in biology?" I asked him and he stopped laughing immediately, gulping heavily as he saw my menacing look. I sighed. "I got an A- in biology and she got a D. Mrs. Laker put us together so I can help her with this two part project thing." I said to him and his eyes widened slightly.

"Holy fuck, you're serious..." He said and I nodded and stood up again, taking a smoke out of my cigarette. He looked to the floor, thinking. "So... wait... it doesn't explain why you could shut her up... what do you know?" He asked me and I smirked. Oh when he finds out about it, he is going to flip... but my smile immediately dropped.

"We... we have a deal. She doesn't bother us for these two months, or I back out." I lie to him. Why did I lie? Why did I protect her secrets?... Because I'm better than that. I'm better than her and her herd of sheep. He nodded at me and I waited to see if he believed me and he smiled and got up giving me a high five.

"You are the fucking man. I was wondering why she didn't call me fatso in the hallways no more." He said to me and I fake grinned at him. She didn't do that anymore?

"Yeah, but no promises after this month. AND! No telling anyone, no one knows. Tell Wheeler that she painted my trailer or something after I saved him." I said and Jeff winked at me, giving me a thumbs up.

"Yeah, roger that." He said and I wanted to sigh of relief because I got away with this, and as I did this, I remembered I have to get together with her tomorrow to begin our class presentation.

Fuck.

I rang the doorbell and I waited as I looked around to see if I was followed and Laura opened the door. I smiled at her and she raised her hands up in excitement.

"Eddie!" She yelled, pulling me into a tight hug and I kissed her cheek warmingly. If this woman didn't exist in this house, I wouldn't be able to tolerate this place.

"How's my woman?" I asked her and she pulled away with a huge smile on her face and patted my shoulder, making me go into the house as she closed the door behind us.

"I'm doing good querido, Y/N is in the living room, by the bar." She said to me and I looked at her with an offended look on my face.

"You are already pushing me away? I'm hurt!" I say to her, holding my chest as if she pierced my heart and she laughed at me, slapping me gently over my shoulder.

"I'll get you a beer dear. Are you staying for dinner?" She asked me and I raised an eyebrow up at her with a grin on my face.

"Depeeeeends..." I say and she chuckled at me.

"I am making an Argentinian dish, Milanesa with mashed potatoes." She said and I nodded at her and finally smiled widely.

"I would love to try that, even if the queen dislikes my stay." I say and she pinches my cheek.

"Those dimples!" She says and immediately rushes to the kitchen. She is too old, but if she were younger I would totally take her out. Such a lovely lady. I walked towards the living room and I saw Y/N preparing a drink. She was rather skilled with the cocktail shaker I must say. I approached her and noticed she had a big grin on her face. I sat down on the stool in front of her, putting my bag on the floor. "A negroni."
