here’s a little preview to hold you over until then...

Eddie is staring at you.

As soon as you register it— the split second you catch him watching you— Eddie’s eyes widen and dart away, expression flashing with an emotion that looks out of place on his typically-assured face. And then it’s gone. Just as quickly, as though it had never existed, that vulnerable expression is replaced by a quirked eyebrow, smugly narrowed lips, and an even, penetrating stare as his eyes return to yours. Before you can even think about it, he’s beckoning you toward him with a crooked finger.

Obligingly— it is your job, after all— you leave Argyle’s side and pull open the heavy glass door to the recording room.

The space is not overly generous, but it is large enough to give each band member a comfortable buffer of space with his instrument. The drums are set up near the back, with Harry on the left and Jeff on the right, a guitar strapped against his chest but flipped around to the back as he stands in front of the keyboard. There’s a boxy amp covered by a shield to dampen the sound in the corner opposite the door, and Eddie is standing beside it, dark-clad legs spread wide as he hooks a forearm casually against his red electric guitar.

“Yes?” you ask him neutrally, though it’s difficult to hold back the roll of your eyes when he doesn’t reply, merely beckoning you with that same finger again. You breathe slowly through your nose as you walk over to him, planting your feet right before him though your heels wobble slightly on the springy carpet. Your pleasant face grows a touch flatter as he regards you silently, blinking slowly— clearly wanting to keep you waiting, to make you pay for the split-second of whatever he’d felt when you caught him staring.

Eventually, a crooked grin spreads on Eddie’s lips as he looks at you, and your brow twitches in alarm as Eddie abruptly lifts one heavy booted foot and thumps it down on top of the amp. The move stretches his tight pants even tighter, pulling the rips at his knees to reveal pale skin underneath. It draws your eye, tempting it to run over the angular bones; they’re strong and dense, substantial beneath string that cuts shallow indents into his skin.

We have received some messages regarding the status of the next I Will Wait update. We are thrilled that you are all excited about the continuation of the story.

The good news is that we have been actively planning and outlining Chapter 4, and writing will begin shortly.

However, there will not be an update this week.

For context, IWW is a side project amongst friends who also have other writing projects they’re working on (and we love seeing everything they’re creating!). Some of our collaborators have been experiencing travelling, personal life developments, and other factors that have temporarily delayed us from making progress on the fic.

That being said, we are certainly continuing to work on this story, but we do not have a set schedule for when it will be released. It takes time to coordinate with everyone involved, and we do not want to deliver a low-quality product because we are trying to adhere to a timeline.

We look forward to bringing you more of bad boy rocker!Eddie.

Thumb must’ve slipped. Sorry darlin. Better luck next time. 😉

News Article | I Will Wait Masterlist

Mr. Munson has traveled the world, and he has been the honored guest of many establishments. We will say that one hotel did not take too kindly to Mr. Munson’s creative….redecorating. Any and all rumors related to Mr. Munson being banned from the Hilton hotels are unequivocally false.
