This is incredibly exciting news to me because I had no idea they were even going to do another one? I thought it was a one-off. Thanks for making my day.

Yes, there’s going to be quite a few more movies. I’ve signed on three more movies. So four in total if everything keeps going well. Whether they’re going to need me all four movies, I don’t know. Well you’re very welcome! I’m here to make peoples day.

Lily felt her face flush again and she had to look away from him. This was her best friend and the father of her daughter and yet he was managing to make her blush like a school girl with a crush. But that was what it was supposed to feel like. The constant butterflies and the nervousness, the weak knees, they were all good things. Especially if they planned on continuing down this new path they seemed to be venturing down. It had been a long time since she’d had this feeling and it was nice. Lily sat up as they pulled to a stop in front of the restaurant. She had heard a lot about the place but she had never been, she knew how expensive and fancy it was and it seemed empty. Eddie must have rented the place.She smiled at him as he helped her out of the car. When she walked inside and saw what he had done she was speechless. At least for a few seconds. “Eddie this is..amazing.” She turned to him and kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you.” She took her seat and put her napkin in her lap before looking up at the sky above them. It really was above and beyond what she had expected.

Feeling Lily kiss his cheek, a smile tugged at his lips. All he wanted was for Lily to be happy, and slightly impressed. Luckily he knew one of the owners of the restaurant which had panned out in his favor. It wasn’t like he had gotten the place for free, but definitely wasn’t like anyone else if they had wanted that. Watching Lily look at the sky, he took a seat in his chair, “It’s pretty amazing, yes? Watching the sunset while eating. I took the chance to have them make your favorite foods.” He said as a man came out and introduced himself. Putting his own napkin in his lap, the man pulled out a bottle of wine, pouring generous portions for each of them before saying the first course would be out. Two people followed out momentarily placing caprese salad in front of them. “Figured something light to start us off, since you’re in for some of the best pasta alfredo you’ve ever had.” Okay, so Eddie was pretty impressed himself at the moment. “So, alright, how excited are you for the book launch? It’s right around the corner. Iris and I each want a copy, you know. I also believe that my mother wants a copy as well, you might want to sign it for her.” he said reaching for the glass of wine. “To the beautiful Lily Collins, who was nice enough to bless me with your presence tonight.”

The countdown to filming the second installment of Fantastic Beasts has officially started. I can’t comment on the exact date, obviously, but it’s going to be here before we know it. Feels like the first one just came out. I’m not sure if I’m more anxious or excited this time around. All I know it I can’t wait to have Newt’s wand back.

New York weather needs to make up it’s mind. Are you going to be hot or fucking freezing? Just make up your mind because I’m  of the mind to just go back to LA. It has to be warmer there.

Sounds a bit like London’s weather. Can never quite make up it’s mind before it just decides to downpour. I’m sure LA would be quite a bit warmer, at least until the cooler months pass. We were in LA for awhile, but now we’re back in London and bundling right up, extra jumpers and all.

Lily smiled and played with a strand of her hair. “I could do the purple wig. I’ve worn a bright blue one before so it wouldn’t be much different. What would you wear? Jeans and a flannel t shirt?” She wasn’t sure she had ever seen Eddie so casual but the image she conjured of him in her head made her giggle a little. Seeing him casual and relaxed was not a sight she was used to. Sure she’d seen him in things besides a suit, she’d seen him in scrubs at the hospital and covered in baby food and throw up but the though of him in jeans and flannel wasn’t something she was used to. “You did not just get lucky. You are an incredible actor and you worked hard. You deserve all the awards, though I do require you to share them with me because it keeps me motivated. Until I can get of my own.” She looked down at his hand on hers and smiled. This was nice, it felt normal. “I want to do this. It’s not just about you. I mean a lot of it is but it’s also what I want. I think Iris deserves the chance to grow up where we did. The idea of the three of us being closer more often doesn’t suck either.” She smiled and leaned back in her seat. “He won’t mind. He likes having her around and packed enough for him to keep her overnight.”

“I definitely think that you should do the purple wig, blue’s okay but purple is more your color.” Eddie chuckled, as he licked his lower lip. At the mention of a flannel and jeans he wrinkles his nose, “I could pull off jeans, like dark jeans or black jeans, proper jeans.” Of course he would mention proper jeans. Nothing like the weird baggy jeans that men seemed to wear these days. He was also 90 percent sure, those were the jeans the brunette was speaking about. Something that he wouldn’t be able to handle for more then seeing a movie, then going hom and changing. Giving a roll of his eyes, “Well thank you, still think I’m just a lucky bloke who fell into the right place at the right time, don’t get me wrong, wouldn’t change any of it for the world.” Everything between them felt like it had been them for years, it was like they were going on any other typical date, a date a couple would keep up to keep the sparks fresh between them. Something Eddie felt quite strongly for in the current moment. If it wasn’t being totally out of character he would have leaned over and kissed the brunette right then and there. Though, he doubted the girl would have appreciated the driver having a view of them possibly getting handsy. So for now, he would have to keep that to himself, the night was young. Pulling up outside the first stop, he smiled as the door was opened for him after a brief moment. Clos Maggiore. Tucked in the Covent Gardens, he had spent a decent dime on renting the entire place out. The inside gave a clear view to the stars above through a retractable glass roof, adding in them surrounded by the trees of flowers he couldn’t wait for her to see it. Taking her arm he helped her out of the car and escorted her inside to see the table centered, surrounded by candles and the beautiful blooming flowers of the restaurant. “I figured, despite wanting normal, you might like a date night with a little privacy. Don’t worry, the chef is making your favorite.” he whispered into her ear before walking her forward and pulling out her chair.

“Ohh a night out to the theater would be fun. I’d suggest going undercover as like super fancy people but I mean is that really undercover for us? Not to boast our egos but we are sort of famous, going undercover for us would mean trying to look like everyday people. Which how do you even do that?” Neither of them had ever really been normal. They’d always been somewhat in the spotlight for a long time now, at least as long as they’d known each other and probably a little before that. Being normal, or what people would consider normal for them was rough. To them being normal was who they were but as celebrities their idea of normal was very different from the rest of the worlds. She looked over at him and nodded. “I’m sure. I mean I know it will mean I have to travel more but I’m okay with that. This is where you are, where your work is and that’s important too. Plus there’s more family here then in LA so more baby sitter options for when we’re both busy. I thought about it a lot, especially after you asked if we’d stay with you during Fantastic beasts shooting. I know how important it is to you and really there’s more pros then cons.”

“I could see us using it for a night out to the theater.” he chuckled, “I’d suggest a short purple wig, I think you could pull it off.” The idea of them trying to go incognito to the theater was kind of hilarious but it was something he could see the pair doing. They were different and that’s what Eddie liked, he never wanted something too normal. As much as they wanted the normalcy that was more because of the flashing lights and people following around as if they were some kind of royalty. Something they weren’t in the slightest, yet people still fawned. “Well I mean you’re more the celebrity, I’m just the dorky one who got lucky in a part.” At least that was how he saw it, after all, being bless with something like Fantastic Beasts was a once in a lifetime miracle though he had done other projects before hand. “As long as you’re willing to travel. I didn’t mean when I asked you to stay with me to have to give up your life in LA either.” If it was something she wanted, he’d support her, he just didn’t want a suggestion to be a life changer unless she wanted it.” he murmured. Another smile graced his face as they drove along the lovely streets of London the sun just beginning to ever so slightly start to set on the horizon. “So I hope your dad doesn’t mind that I’m going to have you out all night.” Eddie said as his fingers caressed over her knuckles.

“What do you consider a special occasion? Birthdays and Anniversaries? Vacations out to the countryside? Though I think this car might stand out in the countryside.” She wasn’t sure what he had in store for the night but she found herself looking forward to it. She also knew that she had something she needed to tell him but she didn’t know when the right moment was. It wasn’t exactly life changing and she knew that he’d probably be happier about it but it still made her nervous. It was a big deal. A big step. Rip the band aid off, she mumbled to herself. “I met with my agent while I was back in LA and I made a decision that hopefully you’ll be okay with. I’m going to relocate to London more permanently. It just makes more sense right now and we can all be together more often.”

“Probably birthdays, anniversaries, event parties, things like that. Definitely not vacations to the country side. Vacation to you know -- the fancier parts of London maybe.” Eddie chuckled. She was right, the car would only show far too much money in the country side, where he had a home located. The last thing he ever liked to do is to seem like he was about the prestige and money, but Eddie did have a bit of a side that loved shopping for the fancier things of life. The car started forward taking them in the direction of the first thing he had planned for them and was snapped from his thoughts rechecking to make sure everything had been planned that he wanted. Not that he could change anything now. A decision that he was hopefully okay with? That didn’t sound good in his mind bank but at least he figured hear her out. A pleasant smile appeared on his face, “Are you sure you want to do that? I mean so much of your work is in Los Angeles. Not that I’m complaining, I’d love to be located back in London more permanently.” he murmured. “If your sure, I’m sure.”

Lily felt her face heat up with a blush at his words. “Thank you.” He had told her she was beautiful before but it was different this time. It felt different this time. There was more meaning behind it. There was a look in his eyes she had only ever seen once before and she found her heart racing at the though of it. She nodded and took his arm. “It’s nice. Bonus is that it’s a baby friendly, safe vehicle so that’s like double points, yeah?” She was trying to steer away from baby talk tonight and make it about them but it was hard to avoid mentioning Iris. She was the biggest thing between them. She let him escort her to the car like the gentleman he was and  and carefully slid inside. “Thank you kind sir.”

A soft hue of pink appeared on her cheeks and he at least had said something right. In fact, he liked when he made Lily blush, she had a radiance about here that was captivating. “Definitely baby safe.” The last thing he wanted was to get on the discussion of Iris, though she was the love of his life, he wanted to focus more on the woman who gave him that precious gift. “Even if I got this car, it would be on special occasions.” A Rolls Royce wasn’t something he would be driving around daily, it was large, fancy, clunky but in typical Brit fashion it made sense. Helping her into the car he slid around where his door was reopened. He had put a lot of thought, time and phone calls into this night, and he just hoped to impress the brunette.

I didn’t believe the thing about eating cheese before bed meaning you’ll have strange dreams until last night when I ate an entire cheese board at 11pm and went to sleep straight after. I had some super disturbing dreams about unicorns and leprechauns….you don’t want to know. I think it’s like what taking LSD would be like but not as dangerous. Why take drugs when you can eat cheese and sleep? I’m Alison Brie and I approve this message.

Good to know but I try not to eat anything too heavy before bed anyway. Can make for a disaster as far as dreams or stomach aches. For me I’ll have the cheese for when I know I can be awake at least 4 hours to digest. Hello, I’m Eddie.

The bell rang and Lily jumped a little. Even though she was expecting it it still shook her and the nerves came back full force. Eddie was on the other side of the door to take her on a date. Their first date. She took a few deep breaths and smoothed out her dress before opening the door and greeting her best friend with a big smile. “Hey, well don’t you look handsome. Not that you don’t always look handsome.” She was rambling so it was best to just shut up. She looked at the car behind him and raised an eyebrow. It was a lot fancier then his normal car and she knew it must have been a rental and she was a little impressed. “You rented a car?”

Eddied breath was pulled from his body when the woman stepped in front of her in the little black dress that showed off her slim figure. It had never been hidden that she had a beautiful figure, that he found the woman more then attractive, it had helped in Iris’s conception. “You’re beautiful.” If anything, he hadn’t really even hear her compliment or the slight rambling she was doing. It must have been the nerves or something that was settling in his own system. How could this be that hard, they had been friends for years, and now here they were going on their first date. He felt like an awkward teenager all over again. Glancing back he nodded, “Yes, I’ve always debated purchasing a Rolls for special occasions, figured testing one out on a special occasion would be the way to know, yes?” he tilted his head as he turned offering his arm to the woman. “Shall we m’lady?” he asked trying to give the old world charm image.

Lily had been looking forward to her night out with Lily but of course her manager had manged to screw all of that up. She hated having to postpone their plans because she knew it was going to make Eddie nervous but she would make it up to him. She was going to use this trip to inform her team that she was going to be more permanently staying in London. She hadn’t told Eddie her plans yet but she knew it would make things a lot easier for him. When she finally got back to London she had her people get her a nice dress for their date. It was weird to think that her and Eddie were going on a first date, especially since they already had a daughter together but it felt right. She had her make up artist help zip up her black dress before doing one final look in the mirror. She was shaking with both nerves and excitement. When she saw the time she shooed everyone away from her, grabbed her purse and headed downstairs to wait for Eddie.

Now Eddie hadn’t wanted to be corny and start the date off with flowers like every typical person. Though part of him couldn’t help but start to wonder if that was a bad decision, maybe he should have brought flowers. It wasn’t that he didn’t have a gift for her, he just didn’t want to be typical of everything. The sleek black rolls royce pulled up outside of the home that he said he would pick her up in. It took a few deep breaths as the driver opened the door and he slipped out buttoning his suit. Heading up to the door he pressed the door bell and stepped back waiting for the petite woman to grace him with her presence.

Delayed Valentines | Lily

After asking Lily to be his date for Valentine’s Day, of course, work had called. Making the brunette busy, though he couldn’t help the depths of his mind that she hadn’t really wanted to go out, and had convinced work it was needed. Still, that had changed, Lily arrived back in London and tonight was their night out together. Plans had been made, reservations booked, and he was dressing in his typical Eddie fashion. “Mummy and I are going to go out for a bit, are you going to be good for grammy.” he cooed picking the small tyke up and carrying her out to his mother. “Don’t mum, I don’t want to hear anything.” Of course, she wanted him to settle down, and taking Lily out on a date was something but he didn’t want to think about it, not right now. His phone beeped summoning that the Rolls Royce he had rented was out front and he slipped outside. Into the back he made his way towards where he offered to pick up the small girl, hoping today would mean something more then a silly holiday.

You thought wrong. I’ll never be too big to beg. Begging is how I get most of my roles in the first place. 

Should have known that’d be the only way you’d manage to get a roll across Emma Stone.

Lily laughed and shifted iris in her arms so she was laying in her arms and lap as she sat down. “It is pretty impossible for most of us to badass but i was more referencing to the calmness. You have this whole Zen energy to you a lot of the time. i think Iris inherited it.” Neither of them were very good at being the bad guy or even the rebel. though Eddie did look good in a leather jacket. “I’m sure they would love it. i know my dad is constantly asking me for pictures and videos and wants to know when he gets to see her next. I know your parents are the same. I get texts from your mum sometimes asking about her and you.’ Lily smirked looking over at him. This had always been easy for them. Maybe it was because they were such good friends before they became parents but whatever it was she was grateful for it. She couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else. “You don’t know that. You might be there when it happens. Don’t just jump to that place. If you miss it there are plenty of other firsts you’ll be around for. i know it’s not the same but no parents are ever there for everything.’ Lily turned pink when he kissed her cheek but she didn’t say anything.

Lily had a good point, you didn’t see everything your children did. That was impossible, you couldn’t be around them 24/7 to make sure you don’t miss something. It was pretty plain to see that Eddie was crazy about Iris and the videos he would get of the things he would miss wouldn’t outweigh the amazing things he would be there for. So, the petite brunette had a point yet again, and damn did he not want to keep saying how right the woman was. “Mum texts you? Must be lonely if she is texting you.” he teased. The kiss on the cheek happened so fast, without thinking and he felt it the second his lips touched her pale soft skin. What was he doing? This wasn’t his girlfriend, this was his child’s mother. Nothing more, nothing less. A night of drinking and long depressing chats had turned into a night of passion and resulted in Iris. That was all, for months Eddie had convinced himself there was absolutely no feelings for the woman his lips were pulling away from. A blush had risen to her cheeks almost immediately and awkward Eddie made an appearance. “Uh, sorry --” he muttered rubbing the back of his neck awkward. He should get up, he should walk away, but the feeling in his chest couldn’t and bubbled up into a set of words he never expected. “Would.. would you be my date for Valentine’s day? You -- You know -- go out? On an actual date, dinner. People still do that right?”
