Chapter 5

"Wanna get drinks with me?" Daisy asked (Y/n) as the two women were getting ready to leave and close up shop for the evening.

"I'd love to but I agreed to help Eddie for the evening." She said as she slipped her coat on. Daisy looked over at her with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Really?" She asked as (Y/n) nodded.

"Yeah, he needs my help with a dress I think." Daisy smiles and nudged her slightly while picking up her bag.

"Is that so?" She hummed as (Y/n) nodded, "Y'know, I think you and Eddie will make a cute couple, (N/n)." Daisy said before (Y/n) blushed madly at her words.

"W-What? No way." (Y/n) stuttered said as she looked away to hide her blush, making Daisy giggle.

"Right." She said as the two left the shop and Daisy locked the door, "Anyway, you two have fun. See you later, (N/n)!" Daisy chirped as she walked away with a smile to (Y/n).

"Bye, Daisy." (Y/n) said with a smile as she watched Daisy walk away before heading to Eddie's shop. She hummed softly as she watched dark clouds form in the sky and a light frown forms onto her lips.

'Looks like it's gonna rain tonight. Hopefully it doesn't start raining when Eddie and I are finished.' (Y/n) thought to herself as she passed by the display window of Eddie's shop. She looked at the wedding gowns in awe with a faint smile before heading inside. The small entrance bell rang when (Y/n) opened the door and rang softly when she closed it. The shop was quiet as she walked in and looked around. "Eddie! It's me, (Y/n)!" She called out as there was no answer. A slight frown formed on her lips as she wandered around curiously in hopes to find the tall man. "Eddie?" She called out again but no answer, "Hm... Where is he...?" Murmuring to herself as she looked around, (Y/n) walked to the back of the shop to see if Eddie was busy making dresses but he wasn't anywhere to be found. As she walked a bit further into the back, she noticed a door on the side that was slightly open. (Y/n) tilted her head a bit, "That's ominous..." She murmured quietly as she walked towards the door. 'Maybe it leads to the basement?' She wondered as her hand reached for the door handle. Just as her fingers lightly grazed along the metal knob, she felt a large hand on her shoulder.

"(Y/n)?" A voice said making her jump and let out a squeak as she turned around. There stood Eddie as he looked down at her with a confused expression, "What are you doing?" He asked as she blushed lightly.

"Oh I just came in a minute or two ago and couldn't find you." She said as she rubbed her arm.

"Is that so?" He asked with a brow arched with a small smile as he crossed his arms.

"Yeah. Where were you anyway?" (Y/n) asked with a soft smile back.

"I ran to get something from my car for a quick second." Eddie said before letting out a soft chuckle, "C'mon, we need to get this dress done." He said as (Y/n) nodded and walked off to the front of the shop. Eddie watched her walk off and sees how the door was slightly open. He gently pushed the door closed and looked in the direction (Y/n) left, a dark expression on his face for a short moment before going blank as he walked after her. Taking the orange bottle out to take another pill into his system. (Y/n) looked at the dresses as she waited for him and he came back with a soft smile, "Alright, I just need you to get yourself undressed." He said as she blushed.

"N-Now? Here?" She stammered as Eddie let out a chortle.

"No, you silly. In one of the dressing rooms." He said as he pointed to the area with a few dressing rooms, a large mirror with a small stand in the middle of the room. (Y/n) blushed out of embarrassment as she mentally slammed her head against a brick wall.

"R-Right. Of course." She stuttered as Eddie chuckled in amusement and guided her to the room, a large but gentle hand on her back.

"Okay, now just get yourself undressed while I go fetch the dress, darling." He said with a smile as she nodded.

"A-Alright." (Y/n) murmured softly as he walked off to get the dress. She walked into a stall and pulled the curtain over so she could change out of her clothes. (Y/n) took her coat off and hung it up before taking off her clothes and folding it neatly. While doing so, the curtains were suddenly pulled back and she jumped in fright with a soft shriek. Her arms shooting up to cover up what she could as she was only in her bra and panties, her face blushing red as Eddie stared at her for a moment before glancing up at her.

"Sorry if I frightened you. Just wanted to give you the dress to put on." He said with a smile at her while handing (Y/n) the dress. She took it with a flustered expression as Eddie chuckled, "Don't worry, this sight isn't new to me. You're beautiful either way." He reassured as (Y/n) looked down shyly and nodded.

"Thanks." She said as Eddie nodded and closed the curtain so she could change. (Y/n) stood there for a few moments to process what had just happened before realizing how her heart was pounding against her chest. She swallowed shakily and taking deep breaths to try and calm down before putting on the dress. Once in the dress, she opened the curtain and walked out. Eddie turned to look at her and his eyes widened by a fraction at the sight of (Y/n). His blue eyes gazed at her up and down in the dress as her face was pink of fluster.

"Oh darling..." He murmured quietly as he stared at her in awe before snapping out of his trance while clearing his throat, "Why don't you step up onto her so I can do some adjustments." He said as she nodded and stepped up onto the stand, looking at herself in the mirror. The sight of the dress on her took her breath away, it was a beautiful white gown that went down and along the floor. Eddie got a few pins and needles as he started to get to work on the dress fitting. It was silent for a few moments as (Y/n)'s hands fidgeted a bit, trying to think of what to say.

"The bride to be must be very lucky to wear such a beautiful dress." She said as Eddie glanced up at her with a pin between his lips, taking it out to stick between the fabrics.

"She is. And you get the honor to wear it for a bit." He said as she laughed softly.

"Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful, Eddie." (Y/n) commented as Eddie let out a soft chuckle.

"Why thank you."

"What made you start making dresses?" She asked and Eddie paused what he was doing for a moment before continuing.

"Well, when I was younger, my mother would sew sometimes. I wasn't close with my father so he never really..." He paused with a grimace before continuing, "Never had much time for me. So my mother was there for me and she taught me how to sew." He said as (Y/n) nodded a bit. Getting more curious about his past.

"What's your dad like?" She asked as Eddie stopped working as his face fell a bit, (Y/n) immediately regretted asking that once seeing his reaction to the question. "I-I'm sorry. You don't have to talk about him if you don't want to. What... What's your mother like?" She asked as Eddie looked up at her and then continued his work.

"She's kind, gentle." He answered as she nodded again.

'So talking about his dad is a big no no.' (Y/n) mentally noted.

"I see. Well, she's lucky to have a son like you." She said with a soft smile down at him as he looked up at her, grimacing slightly before letting a small smile show.

"Yes. Like me." He said as he stood up straight again to look at her in the mirror, "All done." He said as they stared at her in the dress.

"It's beautiful." She said as he smiled a bit, "I want to be in dress like this for my wedding someday." (Y/n) sighed as she ran her hands over the fabric. Eddie stared at her in the mirror before placing his hands on both sides of her waist while standing behind her.

He leaned down a bit to murmur lowly by her ear, "Maybe someday you will..." (Y/n) felt goosebumps form and her body shudder slightly at that as a dark blush formed. His eyes stayed locked with hers as they stared at each other in the reflection of the big mirror. She bit her lip with her flustered face as Eddie pulled away, "Anyway, thank you for volunteering to be my model for today." He said as she nodded.

"N-No problem. If you ever need help like this again, y-you can always ask m-me and I'll be happy to help." She stuttered as Eddie smiled.

"Thank you, (Y/n)." He thanked as (Y/n) smiled back with a blush.

'He's going to be the death of me...'
