Thank Ya, Mister
What if Edward met Bella when she was really young, like 4 years old?
I walked down the sidewalk in the town mall. Alice had made Jasper go to the mall, and he dragged me along, the idiot. Somehow we got at a mall in Florida, so now I'm just walking, waiting for Alice to finish shopping with him, and that's probably going to take a looong time. I was really bored, so decided to kick a stone. It tumbled down the sidewalk, and it finally stopped in front of a little kid, who looked like she was three or four years old.
"Hiya, mister," she told me, with a smile from the angels above.
"Hey, little girl," I replied, returning a smile. She must have been dazzled by me, since she stood there with an o on her face for a few moments.
"Bella," she then said, coming closer to me.
"Didn't your mommy ever tell you to never talk with strangers, Bella?"
"If you tell me your name, we won't be strangers no more." I laughed.
"Okay. Well I'm Edward," I said, holding out a hand. She grabbed it and tugged it up and down, up and down. I saw a candy shop close by, so I hurriedly bought the kid a lollipop.
"My mommy doesn't let me eat candy before lunch," she said, but I saw her look hungrily at the lollipop.
"Well I guess I'll just keep this," I said, slowly putting the candy into my back pocket.
"Wait! Wait! I'll take it!" I handed Bella the lollipop, and she took it greedily. I laughed at that, and she giggled back.
"Thank ya, Mister." She struggled at opening the wrapper, so I took it and unwrapped it for her.
"Thank ya, Mister," she said again, licking the lollipop, which was probably as big as her head.
"You're welcome, you're welcome," I said, replying for both of the thank yous.
"Where is this mommy of yours, anyway?" I asked, and she pointed at a jewelry shop. I saw a blonde figure talking to one of the salespeople.
"Oh, she's very pretty, just like you." I smiled at her again, and she beamed back at me.
"Thank ya, mister."
"You're welcome." I heard a honk come from a car nearby, and Alice shouting, "Come on, Eddie-poo!!" I groaned. So soon already? I sighed, and turned back to the girl.
"Well, sorry, but I have to leave now." I patted her on the head, and turned.
"Thank ya, mister." I heard her call one last time.
"Thank you, little girl, for brightening up my day," I called back, sending a smile to her.
