Bridget was only at St Mungo's a day when they released her. Of course, it was with the understanding that she was to stay in bed for another week and hold off going back to work. Her boss was quick to second the hospital's directives, much to Bridget's dismay. She hated not doing anything. Even when she looked like she wasn't doing much, there was always something going on. Luckily, Ed had agreed to sit with her for a bit, since he felt responsible. Of course Bridget knew the fault laid solely with her. If she hadn't been so struck by him, she would have realized it was a bad idea to bring him with her that night to the Observatory. She could simply kick herself, but was sure the healers would have something to say about it.
"You really don't have to stay Ed. I mean, if you've something better to do. Of course, if you want-" She was fumbling over her words yet again. He was so cute and sweet, just his appearance turned her into an idiot.

"I wanted to." Ed had been so worried that she had died, he wouldn't know what he would have done if she had. He was still worried about her. "Do you need anything? Tea maybe?" He ran a slightly shaky hand through his hair.

She smiled broadly at his comment, and shut her eyes as he ran his hand through her hair. His touch was so gentle, she couldn't help but melt into him. "Tea would be lovely."
She fussed with her pillows, piling them up behind her so that she was sitting more than laying. She didn't want to feel as though she were on her death bed. She wanted to be part of the conversation, since that was pretty much all the healers at St Mungo's would allow her to do. Hopefully Ed wouldn't be as much of a stickler for bed rest as her healer had been.

Ed smiled and stood up then walked to the kitchen, he put the pot on the stove after putting water in it. He paced the kitchen wondering if he would be able to make himself leave that night, he knew he wouldn't want to. After the sound of the whistling pot brought him back he made the tea then poured a glass. "Here you go." He said walking back to her bed, "It's hot so be careful."

She took the cup from him and thanked him. She blew the top of the tea and watched the steam move away from her momentarily. It certainly was hot, and while it cooled she thought about what it would be like to kiss Edward. Embarrassed of her thoughts she quickly took a large gulp of her tea and burned her mouth. She pulled the cup away from her lips so quickly a little tea spilled over the edge and onto her bed. What an idiot she was being.
She immediately set the cup on her nightstand and pulled her blankets back. She reached for her wand and cast a spell to clean up the mess. The only problem was, the tea had scorched her tongue and the incantation came out muffled. This was a mistake as she had now set the blankets on fire. She cursed loudly and jumped up.

Edward quickly got out his wand, "Aguamenti!" Water came from his wand and put the fire out. He looked at Bridget, he was starting to think he was jinxing her. "Are you alright?" His heart was racing from the excitement.

"Oh bloody hell, I'm so sorry Ed. I don't know what I was thinking." Her entire body was as red as a beet from embarrassment. She certainly was making a fool of herself, but tried to laugh it off. "I guess I'm not ready for hot drinks yet."
Her dress had been singed by the flames though luckily her skin was unharmed. She moved across the room to her wardrobe and pulled out a fresh dress, lilac with flowers on it. If he hadn't been there, she would probably be wandering around in pajamas, but she wanted to look her best. "Turn around, I'm going to change." She yanked her dress up over her head and let if fall to the floor near her feet.
Her back was to him, and if he turned around he would notice the large scar that ran lengthwise across the small of her back. it was a lovely reminder of the first time she had fought a vampire, and clearly she had lost. The vampire had nearly drained her of life and when he became spooked by a passing group of wizards he had thrown her body into a nearby river where she landed on a jagged rock. But the scar was quickly covered by her clean dress.

Edward respected her wishes and turned his head from her, he also had closed his eyes. He would wait for her to tell him that it was OK to look. Though he had been tempted to look, he didn't, he thought that she wouldn't want him there anymore.

Once dressed Bridget walked around to the bed and sat on the enge of it. Ed had shut his eyes, he was so respectful, it made her giggle. "Okay, now you can look." She motioned for him to sit with her on the bed.

Edward opened his eyes and turned to look at her, he thought she looked even more lovely in the new dress. He noticed she had motioned him to sit with her, he twisted his right diamond stud nervously as he sat beside her.

It was obvious they both liked each other, and were both nervous, but Bridget decided if they kept going at this rate they would never move past shy babbling. Once Ed was sitting next to her she turned to face him, one leg bent and resting on the bed, the other hanging over the edge. "You know Ed, I really like you." She looked longingly into his eyes, and rested her hand on his leg. Why was this so hard? She had been through worse but telling someone how she felt seemed like the hardest thing in the world.

"I.. erm... I l-like you too." He bit his lower lip and continued to twist the stud, he had even thought about making her a fur robe out of the pelts he had back home.

She was so pleased that he had been there for her. Taking her to the hospital, seeing her home, and now sitting with her while she recovered. It was clear that he liked her more than he was currently expressing. "I could tell you did. That's why I was able to tell you how I feel. And how I am able to do this." She leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

Ed was a little shocked but also pleased when she had kissed him. He put his hand that had been twisting the stud on her cheek as he kissed her back. He thought he was a luckiest guy to have had Bridget in his life.

Kissing Ed was everything she had thought it would be. He was tender and passionate and skilled. She sunk into him, wrapping her arms around his neck. She pulled away for just a moment to smile at him, then returned to his lips.

Edward put his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. He was glad that she liked him as well, he was also glad she wasn't a werewolf.

She didn't know how long they had been going at it when she finally pulled away from him. Her lips were moist and her heart racing, but she couldn't go any further than kissing. Her body urged her to, but her mind knew better. They barely knew each other. She had to be smart and keep the pace nice and slow. Luckily her stomach started to growl which gave her the perfect excuse for leaving his wonderful kisses. "I'm starved. Are you hungry? I could make something, if you'd like." She knew her healers wouldn't appreciate her being up and working in the kitchen on her first day from the hospital, but what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them.

"No, you stay right there and I'll make something." Edward said, he still felt guilty for what happened and he would feel worse if she got ill or passed out. "What would you like?" Ed might not be the richest but he could buy whatever food he needed to make her anything.

Her face lit up as Ed offered to cook her a meal. It was so sweet, she had to wonder why he wasn't already taken. Perhaps he was just looking for the right girl. Bridget could certainly be Mrs Right. "I believe I've some potatoes and chicken, if you'd like. If I rummage around the kitchen enough I could pretty much find whatever you'd like." He might insist on cooking for her, but she would at least assist him in doing so.

Ed smiled and kissed her cheek before standing, "You stay right here, I have to run to the shops, my mother taught me a family recipe that goes wonderful with chicken." Without another word he left the apartment then left for the shops.
(I've been wondering... you don't play Amanda, do you?)
