Eden Chapter 2 🍋
“This is the guest room, it isn’t much—I haven’t had much time to really set it up properly—when I’m gone on Tuesday feel free to take the big bed in the master bedroom”.
Ashton leans against the doorframe as Eden places her backpack and shoulder bag on the bed.
Looking around the room she takes note of the way the sun streams through the trees outside the large window across the room; large leaf patterns splashed across the floor. The room is painted a light shade of grey, furnished with a small desk on one end of the room, across from it is the double bed with white sheets and too many pillows. “I’m trying to find some art I’d like to put up. Maybe some enlarged photographs of nature or something--I don’t know,” Ashton shrugs.
“It’s just fine for me,” Eden turns and smiles at the man, “thank you for letting me stay here. I know Calum probably already thanked you, but thank you from me as well”.
“Not a problem,” he assures her, “Listen, I’m supposed to be having a party tonight, before the boys and I go away, I’d like it if you’d join us. A friend of Calum’s is a friend of mine”. Eden smiles, “I’d love to join you guys. A friend of Calum’s is a friend of mine as well”.
“Cool, well I’ll see you this evening. Calum is coming over in a bit to help set up. I can only assume you two will want to talk as well”.
Eden smiles and nods politely before taking a seat on the edge of the bed. She watches his figure in the doorway and notices how tall he is for the first time, in his defence, she knows most people are taller than her, she’s only 5′3″. She likes his shirt; a red button-up with a 1950′s flare, tucked into his black pants. It suits him she decides- edgy, but gentlemanly and reserved. Handsome.
“I don’t mean to pry, but did you bring enough stuff with you?” Ashton speaks up motioning towards her backpack.
Eden laughs at this, “Yeah, I did. The trick is rolling your things, not folding. My dad taught me that”.
“I’ll have to try that when I pack my stuff tomorrow,” he grins, “I’ll leave you to it then”.

The next time Ashton sees Eden is a couple hours later when Calum has joined them and she’s finished unpacking the few things she brought with her.
She’s changed into a white cropped tank top and black denim shorts. Her makeup is done in warm metallic tones. Her cheekbones stand out and her eyes look even bigger and brighter than they already did.
“Hey, Cal!” She laughs running to wrap him in a hug
“How are you love?”
“Definitely been worse,” she grins squishing Calum’s cheeks between her hands, she presses a kiss to his forehead, “I’ve missed you”.
“I’ve missed you too,” he admits pulling her into another hug dramatically rocking her back and forth. “Let’s start drinking!”
“Beer?” Ashton offers Eden.
“Got anything stronger?”
“I have whiskey, vodka and tequila”
“Whiskey please”. She smiles.
“Need a mixer?”
“No, I’m good. Thanks”.
By the time the rest of the guests have arrived the original trio are already tipsy. The speakers are blasting “Ashton’s signature party playlist” the bass shaking the house. Eden weaves her way through the crowds of people, her hips swaying to the beat of the music.
Taking a sip from his red solo cup Ashton watches as Eden makes her way back over to him and Calum. “why have not met her before today?” Calum just shrugs, “Didn’t really think about it”. “Didn’t think about it?” “Believe it or not Ash I bring my friends around to hang out, not just to hook them up with you,” Calum smirks elbowing his friend playfully. Ashton only sends him an equally playful glare in return. “No, in all honesty, she’s been busy--she’s not looking for anyone. And the last time I checked neither were you”. Ashton nods accepting Calum’s explanation. Eden comes to stand with the two of them, she passes Calum another beer and downs the liquid in her cup.
Karma Chameleon fades out and Footloose starts to play. Eden throws her head back laughing, her smile bright, the glitter on her cheekbones catching the light.
“I love this song!” She exclaims, “You’ve got to dance with me!” She reaches for Calum’s arm but he shakes his head laughing. “I’ve danced enough for one night love, Ashton will dance with you”.
Ashton swallows hard. He can’t help but feel as though he’s been thrown under the bus. How can he say ‘no’? He doesn’t dance, but he sure as hell isn’t going to turn down his last chance at getting to know the beautiful woman who walked into his life. ‘all things happen for a reason’ he tells himself.
Tipping back his cup he finishes his drink before holding out his hand to Eden.
Her hand is much smaller than his, but still, she manages to hold tight guiding him back through the crowd to the makeshift dance floor in what’s usually the dining room.
Sorry, this took me so long to write and sorry that it’s probably trash. I really haven’t been doing well lately and I’ve been focusing on getting better, seeing doctors and therapists and getting new meds. It’s just all been a lot and I’ve been so tired and super unmotivated recently. Thank you for your understanding.

Again, new OC. His name is Lemon Child uwu
It took so much juice out of me not to say “Ableist flex but okay.”
Ableist flex but okay.
Ableist flex but okay.
And then I realized I was thirty-seven and trying to explain concepts like Caring About Other People to a tenth grader for free when I used to get paid to trick them into that shit.
This is why we don’t do the Internet snarkuments anymore, Z. We’re old enough to know better.
At least we have confirmation that the lemon tree is still alive
