A/N: Here it is….the last part of this series. Thank y’all for all the love and support on this one. It turned from a silly random idea into one of my favorites. I hope y’all enjoy this and don’t worry I have more planned for these two it’s not the last you’ll see of them✨💖
*You think maybe this whole thing was a mistake but Eddie just wants to know if he’s dreaming or not*
“Are you sure it’s loud enough?” You roll your eyes as Melissa leans against your car as you hold the handle to the boombox in one of your hands. “Maybe he isn’t home?” You let out a huff as you look at the very familiar van sitting in the driveway of the trailer that you’re currently parked in front of.
“He’s home.” You answer as you adjust your grip on the boombox, Melissa just takes a few steps so she’s only a few inches behind you, bat in hand just in case she needs it.
“How do you know? Maybe he’s out with his little gang.” You just shake your head as you look down at your feet instantly becoming nervous that this whole idea was a giant mistake. “Maybe he can’t hear it or-“
“I can hear it.” You nearly drop the boombox as you look up and see Eddie standing just a few steps in front of you. “Are you really standing in my front yard holding a boombox and blasting Metallica or is this a dream?” He asks as he takes a small step closer to you almost as if he’s worried you’ll disappear if he gets too close.
“How many times do I have to tell you it’s rude to start a conversation off with a question?” You tease as you drop the boombox and take a step towards him, Melissa just smiles as she slowly walks away giving you two your space.
Eddie can’t describe the feeling that’s rushing through him as you walk closer to him. It’s as if everything that’s happened in his life has led him to this moment and it’s as if he can feel it all clicking together like he’s exactly where he’s supposed to be. He hates to even think it but maybe Steve was right and you really are his soulmate.
“Sorry.” Eddie mumbles as he takes one more small step closer to you, so now you’re standing right in front of him. “Hi California.” You smile as you reach up and tuck some of his hair behind his ear so it’s not in his face.
You can’t explain why being around Eddie feels so natural but then again everything with Eddie has felt right, like you’ve known him your whole life. He makes you feel complete and it just took you standing in his front yard with his big brown eyes staring into yours for you to realize it. He’s your soulmate.
“Hey Vampy.” Eddie closes his eyes and leans into your touch as you rest your hand on his cheek. “You’re not dreaming by the way.” You watch a smile take over his face as he opens his eyes and looks down at you.
“What are you doing here?” Eddie asks as you drop your hand from his face, he takes this moment to finally get a good look at you and he feels his heart beat faster when his eyes lock with yours.
“Well I figured telling you that I’m in love with you in person would be better than over a text.” You state with a shrug making Eddie raise an eyebrow at you.
“You’re in love with me?” He asks as he points at himself not really believing what he’s hearing.
“It seems that I somehow have fallen in love with the Vampire Boy from Indiana.” Eddie playfully rolls his eyes at your nickname making you smile because you know he actually loves it.
“That’s good to know because I’m in love with this stranger from California.” He admits as his hands gently cup your face.
“I mean you did confess your love to me the very first time we talked so it makes sense.” Eddie just laughs as he leans down so his forehead is resting against yours as your arms wrap around his neck.
“I guess I really didn’t have the wrong number after all.” With that Eddie’s lips are on yours in a sweet kiss.
“Eddie what the-“ You pull away from Eddie to look over his shoulder to see a confused looking Steve getting out of his car.
“Uh hold it soccer mom, can’t you see they’re having a moment?” Eddie laughs as Melissa picks up her bat and stands in front of Steve who is now staring at her with raised eyebrows.
“California?” He asks making you just nod your head as Eddie drops his hands from your face. “Oh shit I’m sorry.” You just smile as you watch his eyes drift down to the bat in Melissa’s hand as Eddie wraps his arms around your waist. “Uhm nice bat.” Melissa just lets out a huff as she look up at Steve with an annoyed look on her face.
“Thanks now can you get lost? You just ruined a completely romcom worthy ending to this love story.” She snaps making Steve just take a step backwards. “Is that a bat with nails in it? Why do you have that in your backseat?” Steve turns to look at his backseat and then back to her.
“I mean well…you know I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and…not have it.” You can’t help but smile as Melissa lowers her bat and takes a step towards Steve.
“Are we getting a front row seat to the beginning of a their weird love story?” Eddie whispers in your ear causing you to laugh.
“That’s what I’m always saying! Bats make the-“
“Perfect weapon.” Steve finishes her sentence for her making her smile causing Eddie to roll his eyes, but deep down he’s happy for Steve he knows he’s been looking for love in all the wrong places so maybe Melissa is exactly who he needs.
“Can I hear you say it one more time?” You ask as you turn so you’re looking Eddie in the eyes.
“Say what? That I’m in love with you?” He can’t help but smile as he looks at you. “I’m in love with you.” You smile as he leans in and places a kiss to your lips.
“Do you believe in soulmates?” You ask as he pulls away from the kiss.
A/N: I’m very curious how you thought this part was going to happen and if this is what you had in mind? Sadly the next part is the last part in this series and I’m sad I have truly loved this little random idea that y’all let me turn into something bigger. Also the next part isn’t a texting conversation😱 shocked? Me too😂 anyway enjoy!✨
*Eddie knows something is wrong but Steve thinks he’s overreacting*
