Edward Cullen; having problems with flowers.
It was Women's Day today, so I had to buy something to my Bella. She always said, she didn't want anything expensive – I didn't understand her with that; I was rich, so I could buy her anything she wanted, but she never allowed me – so I thought I could at least buy her some flowers.
I wasn't a good shopper, but I could trust that it was very simple to buy flowers. I had bought flowers before, too; many times to Esme, once to my sister Alice and even couple times to Rosalie, when she got married with Emmett. And I would buy her more flowers in future; they planned get married again soon. Rosalie loved weddings.
"Where're you going, Edward?" Alice asked me.
It was early to go anywhere. Or it was to peoples, who slept long. Last night I had been in Bella's house and I was sure she was still sleeping. So, this was good time to me to go and buy her these flowers. I just wasn't sure, was the flower shop opened at six?
"Nowhere", I said. Alice would want to come with me; she loved Bella, like I did, so she wanted me to give her the most beautiful present. And Alice loved flowers; she went crazy around them. And in flowers shops, she always wanted to buy everything; we had money, so why not?
That was why I wasn't telling her, I would buy flowers to Bella. She would probably get insane.
"Okay, if you don't want to tell me, then don't. But do you have anything to Bella? It's Women's Day today."
Why was she asking that kind of questions? I had to think what to answer to her; It was hard to lie to her, but I hadn't a choice now.
"Yeah, I have." I knew she would next ask; "So, what is it?", so I thought it was best to tell it now, before she could ask. "She and I took some pictures about everything and everyone in Forks and I transferred those pictures on a CD. I'll give her that CD."
More then half of it was really true; I was going to give that CD to her, but not as any special day's gift.
"Why?" she asked. I thought Alice would understand this…
"I promised her, I'll make her one of us. So, when we'll move I know, she would like to remember Forks and her family and friends. We're not able to come back here again."
It was true; if Bella was going to be a vampire, we couldn't come back here. Ever again. And she wouldn't be able to see her old friends, her family. So she needed something, like pictures, that she would be able to at least think about them.
Alice let me go.
I drove fast – like always – with my Volvo to Port Angeles. Forks's flower shops were like piece of shit; there was nothing there. And I wanted nice flowers to my Bella.
I stepped in, in an odor scent flower shop. It was small, but bigger then in Forks.
"Can I help you?" An old woman asked me. She looked very tired; that tired I was feeling sorry for her. Maybe she wasn't able to sleep nice. Well, I wasn't able to sleep either… We had something common.
"Am… No thanks…" I murmured. I was getting nervous; there were so many flowers…
I looked some black roses. They were beautiful, but would Bella like them? I wasn't sure, did she like black…
I left the idea of buying black roses; black wasn't the right color to her. I went to look some other roses; there were red, like blood, blue and pink colored roses. There was also white and green. Green roses were ugly, so I didn't look at them twice.
Also, there were other type of flowers; beautiful, white lilies - which were very beautiful – some lobelias, which were beautiful, too, but they weren't the flowers I was looking for… It was very hard to find the right ones.
There were too much flowers! I was getting sick… I really thought I was good with flowers, but now I saw it was much simpler to buy a car. Umgh… Why was Bella doing this to me? If she would give me promise to buy her a car she needed, I would be done now… She would have a wonderful BMW or Ford and I wouldn't be here, in this flower shop…
"Are you sure, you don't need help?" The tired woman asked me again. "You have been here more then an hour!"
An hour? Bella would wake up soon and I had to drive back home, before I could go to her home.
"Oh… I didn't notice the time…" I murmured in disbelief.
I needed help; I should have told to Alice about this. With her, I probably would have many flowers with me now and I would probably be in Bella's home already.
"Am… What kind of flowers women likes?" I asked hopeless.
She smiled. "Well, that depends. But I think every woman likes red roses and lilies."
Was that meant to help anything? I guess not, because there were just two options I could buy to Bella; roses or lilies.
"Yeah, thanks…" I said to her.
I looked away, not feeling any better. It was bad to think I had known Bella for that long, but I didn't know her best flower! And she was always complaining I knew about her life more then she knew. Umgh… this was so distracting…
Okay, I'll take red roses. I thought. I'm not that sure about lilies… They're white and I'm white; Bella will be sick about white in the future!
"Red roses, eh? I'll guess these are for a girlfriend?" Old woman was speaking to me again. Why I can't be younger? He's so HOT. That girl is probably very diva; she has THAT hot man… Oh how I want to be young now… That I could get this man to myself…
"You're right; these are for a girlfriend." It was getting hard to answer to her friendly, when she was thinking, how she would steal me from my lovely Bella.
"She's going to me happy for these; I'm sure of that!" Or maybe not just because of the flowers; she's going to be happy because this angel- faced man is hers… Am I jealous?
"I hope that… But, I have to go now… Thanks." I really had to go. Fast. Bella couldn't wake up before I got to her house. I was planning to surprise her with my roses.
