A/N
My sister was the inspiration for this story. She thought it would be great if Edward was able to read Bella's thoughts. So, I sat right down and ran with it. It was going to be a one shot, but I quickly found that it was taking a direction of its' own. So it is my first attempt at a chapter story. Enjoy. Let me know what you think.
I don't the story, I only play with the characters.
I Hear You
Chapter 1
BPOV
"Edward why can't we just stay at home and watch a movie. I haven't seen Romeo and Juliet with Leo and Claire in a long time. What do you say?" I couldn't help it, I was whining. Edward just wasn't listening to me. He insisted yesterday that we needed to spend more time outdoors. I am not thrilled about this because just this morning I tripped coming in his house and wacked my head on the door jam.
Yeah right. Nature and I do not get along. I much prefer to have an up close and personal relationship with all things indoors, like the couch or the kitchen table. They don't try to kill me on a regular basis. Nature, on the other hand, seems to have it out for me. A tree root, or wet leaves or a clump of dirt…deadly to me due to my unnatural clumsiness. I didn't bother saying this out loud.
"Bella, cooperate please. This will be good for you. We will just take a nice leisurely walk to our meadow, and pick wildflowers. You know that you will enjoy it. I will be right next to you, so no worrying about tree roots or wet leaves or even a clump of dirt." Edward said with a crooked smile. Darn his mouth, it gets me every time. I am a sucker for that crooked smile.
I huffed at him and turned to look out the window of his Volvo to look towards the woods. He was just pulling off the road as I said "Edward, can you at least carry me?" I really did not feel like walking. I had a slight headache and walking could only make it worse. I don't particularly like being carried vampire style either, but it seemed the lesser of two evils. Weighing between tripping and falling or becoming slightly nauseated by vampire speed seemed a no brainer. If I threw up, I would feel better immediately. If I tripped and fell, I would not only most likely get hurt, but would definitely feel it the next day too.
"No Bella. Exercise is good for you." Edward said. "Just watch where you are walking and you will be fine. Plus, I will be right next to you. Nothing is going to happen to you."
Right, have you met me? I thought. I am the most vertically challenged person ever and he wants me to walk 5 miles to our meadow. What is he thinking?
"I'm thinking that you are quite capable of walking 5 miles, you have done it before remember?" Edward answered my unasked question.
"What did you just say?" I asked dumbfounded.
"I said, I am thinking….Wait a minute. Did you not say that out loud?
No, I thought it. Did your really hear that?
"Bella, I did hear that. Do it again love." Edward whispered.
I don't want to walk to the meadow, I want to just go home and watch a movie with you, on the couch. What do you say?
"I say we should go back to my house and talk to Carlisle. That's what I say." Edward answered. "Hold on." Off he sped towards the Cullen house.
