Bitter
"Eat it."
I frown. "Why?"
"Jasper, c'mon!"
"It smells repulsive."
"I just want to see you eat it! It's like watching a human eat dirt."
I raise an eyebrow and shake my head, but for some reason, I do it. The lemon slice tastes awful, like how I'd imagine battery acid to taste.
As I chew, Bella watches, bright-eyed and grinning, her excitement literally contagious. After I swallow, I shrug, and it's over.
She watches me for a moment then sighs. "Well, that was anti-climactic."
When she frowns, I'm rather surprised to realize that I'd like to kiss it away.
I had to write a lemon drabble for TLYDF's mystery drabbler feature. I wrote this at first as a joke, because Elle signed me up to write a damn 100 word lemon - so I told her I was going to write it literally about a lemon. I thought it might be too silly, and too obvious that it was me, so I didn't use it for TLYDF... but it works for "Bitter" - so win/win!
Thanks to Legna989 for the quickie beta job.
