"We won't, Esme," Bella replied, carefully studying the cake recipe.
They heard the door close from the kitchen and Bella said, "Okay, all the ingredients are out. Let's start with mixing the flour, baking soda, and baking powder." She turned around while holding the baking soda, not knowing Edward was right behind her. She collided into him, making the baking soda go all over his shirt.
He looked at her with an outraged expression and his eyes narrowed. "This was my favorite shirt." He started advancing toward her slowly.
Bella wouldn't admit she was scared, so she covered it up by saying, "Wow. Somebody's been hanging out with Alice a bit too much."
His mouth dropped open before it turned up into an evil smirk. He grabbed an egg, pinned her against the wall, cracked it open, and dumped it in her hair.
She smiled, but pretended to be mad. "Edward Anthony Cullen!" she squealed.
He let her go, so she grabbed another egg and smashed it on his head, shell and all.
He scraped the shell out of his hair and threw it onto her shirt before running across the kitchen to the island.
She screamed and scooped flour into her hand when we wasn't looking. "Okay, I'm done with this. It will never end," she pretended to surrender.
"Aw, you're no fun, Bells," he replied before walking toward her.
She smiled angelically before pulling the flour in front of their faces, opening her fist and blowing it into his face.
He grinned and threw cocoa powder at her, and the war started again.
Eventually, Edward grabbed the whole bag of flour and dumped it on Bella's head.
She screamed and grabbed the skillet.
Edward backed away with wide eyes and his hands held up in surrender. "Bells, don't do anything rash."
Instead, she smirked, dropped the skillet, and charged at him. She jumped right when her head would've crashed into his chest, since he was about eight inches taller than her, and wrapped her arms around his neck, sending them both hurdling backwards to the floor. They landed with a thud, then looked at each other and burst into laughter. She rolled off of him, and they both sat up, leaning against the cabinets. He put an arm over her shoulders.
Esme and Renee walked into the kitchen then, and completely stopped when they saw the disaster area.
"Hey, Mom," Edward said sheepishly. "We had a bit of an accident."
Both mothers shrilled out their child's name at the same time and started screaming at them.
After all was said and done, both were grounded for two weeks and had to clean up the whole kitchen.
"Well, this is the worst trouble I've ever gotten into," Bella muttered.
Edward grinned at her. "But it was worth it."
She smiled back. "Yeah. It was."
There y'all go! It was just something that popped into my head because my sister and I were making a cake. Let me know what you think!
