OMG OK SO I'M REALLY EXCITED! I was gonna use this idea for a different story, but I realized it could really work for this one so I'm soooo glad I started this story! YAY! OK. You've read my happy rant. Now onto the story! OoOoOoOo, btw. OOC! Kayerz. And oh yeah. The ~~~~ means a change in POV. K? K.
Disclaimer: Quite sadly, I don't own Twilight. Sigh.
I pretended like nothing had happened and quickly cleared my throat.
"Hey, sleepyhead." I said, hoping he'd play along. He smirked at me but I knew that he was just acting. He knew what had just happened, even if I didn't.
"Um, yeah. So I have breakfast." I said, nodding at the little collection of food we had.
"Oh, wow. A gourmet meal." He said sarcastically. "Yummy."
I giggled. That was exactly what I had thought. He raised an eyebrow at me, and I blushed all the way down to my toes.
"So, Bella. You gonna be doing that a lot? 'Cause it looks cute on you." When I gave him a bewildered look, he clarified. "The blush, sweetheart."
I blushed even deeper red than before, if that was possible. I didn't think it was ever gonna leave, and Edward's smirk became a wide grin.
"I was only kidding, dummy."
"Stop being such an ass and eat your nuts." I said, looking down at my hands.
"Fine, mommy." He said in a terrible impersonation of a baby voice. I bit my lip to hold back my giggle, but he noticed anyways.
He looked at me with his piercing green eyes and for a moment, I saw something flicker in them. I couldn't quite place it, but it left his eyes as quickly as it had come.
"So you gonna eat anything?" He asked quietly, as if embarrassed by the question.
"Uh, no. I'm good." I said. I was planning on eating, but now my stomach was rolling from the way he had looked at me. Why did he have to be so damn sexy? Wait. Did I just think that?
Oh, fuck. She's beautiful. And embarrassed to be here. And why did I have to ask her that stupid freaking question? Now she's gonna think that I'm a frickin' teddy bear or something. She'll never fall for me this way. I should probably turn up the charm factor. But how am I supposed to keep that in mind when I have to look at those beautiful brown eyes? Damn it. Oh, she's talking. I should probably listen.
"Um, so Edward…" I started. Then decided to start.
"What? You think I'm sexy? Oh, I know." Edward said cockily.
Yes. Yes I do.
"Shut up you asshole. Forget it."
"Oh come on, Bella. I was kidding."
"Whatever you sob."
"Did you just call me a sob? What does that even mean?"
"You know…"
"What?"
"Oh, come on! A son of a bitch!"
"Ok. First of all, sob? Really? Second of all, you did not just say that. You can call me whatever you want, but you aren't about to call my mother a bitch." He said. The statements had started out humorously, but his eyes were full of pain by the time he had finished. Damn. He looked extra sexy. And he cared about his mom. How sweet was that?
"Why not?"
"Um, I don't know. Maybe because she's dead." He spat at me, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Oh, holy shit. I'm so sorry, Edward! I didn't mean that. I'm such an ass. I'm so sorry!" I said. I wished I could take it back. I wished I had a rewind button or a delete key or something. Damn my stupid brain.
"Whatever." He said, stalking away from me and sitting in the corner of the room. He pulled out a cigarette and took a long drag. His head rolled back against the wall, and he swallowed hard, obviously trying desperately to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall over his eyes.
I walked over to him slowly, cautiously, hoping not to scare him away. He didn't seem to notice me till I was right next to him. He looked at me, but instead of anger and disgust in his eyes, all I saw was pain and innocence.
"Edward. I am so so sorry. I truly had no idea. I…I am so sorry." I whispered.
"It's ok. I guess I overreacted. It happened over three years ago. In a hit and run accident. She was killed instantly. But she was the only person who I knew truthfully loved me. I really took it hard. My dad…he was no help. He sat around getting drunk and punching walls. Neither of us was the same again." He said all of this quickly, as if he had been holding it in for too long and wanted to let it spill out for the longest time.
I truthfully love you, I thought to myself. Out loud, I said nothing. I just pulled Edward in for one of my patented squeeze your guts out hugs, but he didn't even grunt. Obviously, this boy had some muscle on him. But I shouldn't think of that now.
"Edward, I wish there was something I could do. I wish I could let you have some of my mom or something. I mean, I just wish it hadn't happened."
"So do I, Bells." He said, his voice breaking on my name.
I pulled him in tighter and tried my best to hold back my tears. I always wanted to cry when those I loved were in pain.
"Well, your mom is proud of you, wherever she is. You're a great guy, Edward. I noticed the blanket thing this morning."
He blushed as he pulled away from me. "It was nothing." He said, casually rubbing at his eyes like he was tired, when he was really brushing away the tears.
"Well, it was sweet. I would have died of the cold yesterday." I said. I kissed him on his cheek and stood up. He looked at me, a dumbfounded expression on his face, but I just looked at him. "And that is why we are going to sleep next to each other from now on. Otherwise we're gonna freeze our asses off."
He smirked, his face back to its' painless mask. But I knew what was underneath, and that made an unbreakable bond between us two.
"Fine. I knew I was gonna get into bed with you sooner or later. You just can't stand my sexiness." He said, completely back to his old self.
"Oh, shut up." I said, playfully pushing him.
We went back his makeshift bed and sat down.
"So what are we supposed to do now?" I asked him.
"Wait." He said.
"Ugh." I groaned.
"We could play Truth."
"Whatever that is."
"I'll explain it to you, if you want." He said.
"K, fine. But it better be good."
"Ok. So basically, we keep asking each other questions, and we've got to answer them completely truthfully. We can decide to not answer a question. But then, the asker must answer that same question, and they win. Get it?"
"Yeah. I'm not stupid, Cullen."
"Never said you were, Swan."
K. So next chapter they start playing truth! That should be fun.
Hopefully you liked it! Love you all! Review plzz! I'll update soon. Possibly tomorrow. :D
Peace. Love. FF.
