AN: Ok, Welcome to the food chronicles. Sorry I couldn't update yesterday, I was quite sick and tired… sorry. Anyways, I'm making a few chapters on the different types of food Edward and the rest of the family are gonna make Bella eat. I'm starting with Asian because I live in Asia. It will last no more than 2-3 chapters. Then there will be the European Food and finally, the other left out countries I'd like to add. No more than 5-6 small chapters while I wait for you guys to suggest ideas for what Bella should do, I mean, if you guys only one more month to be human, what would you do? I'm thinking about making a Bonding Chronicles, any ideas people? Well I shall let you get on with my story! Have Fun and please review!
The Asian Food Chronicles part 1 – Thai Food
I got out of the car dizzily and stepped out into Seattle lights. Edward closed the door for me and wrapped an arm around my waist, leading me towards the restaurants.
"So Bella, where would you like to eat?"
I looked around myself. Every restaurant was expensive looking. All of them seemed busy, and all of them were Asian.
"Do we really have to do this?"
I looked at Edward attempting my best puppy dog eyes but he was looking around, a frown of concentration on his face. Hmm… he was probably reading the minds of the people eating to see which restaurant made better food. He looked undecided. After a few seconds he turned back to me.
"Yes."
He made me agree to live my life to the fullest while I still had the time. Today, and probably the following days, I would be tasting food from different places in the world. Starting with Asian food.
I sighed dramatically and walked into a Thai restaurant, Edward right beside me, smiling as if it was his birthday. We were led to a nice table lit with candles right beside a small indoor waterfall. The plants were colorful and exotic looking, the smell of incense, probably rose, hung lightly in the air. Behind the waterfall was a stone with a Buddha carving on it. Beautiful. Everything looked perfect. The Asian lady turned to us gracefully and handed us the menus. She gave a wai (pictures in my profile) and a friendly smile.
"Sawasdee Kha! Welcome to the Oriental. I will be your waitress tonight."
She smiled sweetly and with one last look at Edward, she left to the kitchens. I took it as my cue to have a look at the menu. My face blanched. There were pictures for each dish on the menu… and most of them were RED.
"Let's get out of here!"
I was about to grab my jacket and leave when Edward took my arm and pulled me back down onto the cushioned seats.
"Oh come on Bella, please? I really want you to try!"
Oh damn him and his smothering eyes! I put the jacket back down and pouted in an attempt to make him feel guilty… He just laughed.
I looked back to the menu and picked one randomly as the lady came back. This time I noticed her clothes, they were in traditional Thai silk (picture in my profile), quite beautiful and it suited her well…
"Umm… I'll take the…"
I pointed to a dish called Yum Woonsen with spring rolls and all (picture in my profile). She smiled and wrote it down. Edward then ordered two glasses of water and then the lady walked off.
I looked at Edward a 'not so realistic' glare on my face.
"If anything happens to me, I hold you personally responsible!"
He just shook his head, laughing.
I continued looking around as Edward called his family to tell them that I finally choose something to eat (Alice and Jasper were off hunting so the rest of the family didn't know what was going on).
A few minutes passed and the lady came back with my plate. The color was clear and I didn't see any chilies so I took the fork and took a few noodles and twirled it around, looking at it curiously.
I plopped it in my mouth and chewed then swallowed. Mmm… It's quite good… Sour mmm… I love sour stuff!
I continued eating and after a few minutes, I felt it.
"Edward? Can you pass me the water please?"
He smirked and handed me a glass. A few seconds later, both glasses were empty and my mouth was still on fire. Tears sprang into my eyes but to my surprise, I wasn't red. I tried biting my tongue, but it didn't seem to work. I started getting worried, the flames that seemed to be on my tongue wasn't backing down.
"Bella? Are you ok?"
Edward looked at me curiously. He's probably never tasted spicy food in his life.
"Edwad! Itsh bunin my tongue! Itsh shooooo Shpichy!!!"
I tried talking clearly but that was hard to do because at the same time I was trying to keep my mouth open. He creased his eyebrows and looked at his hands. His lips turned into a smile.
"Here!"
His hand was in front of my face. My forehead wrinkled in confusion.
"What am I supposed to do with it?"
I continued breathing hardly, hoping the fire would stop.
"Put my hand in your mouth, I swear, it'll work!"
I looked at him as if he was crazy, he doesn't look like he's joking. So I reluctantly put the side of his hand into my mouth. Ahh… It's not burning anymore! I sigh in contentment as I lay my tongue on his palm. I thought I was gonna die. Edward playfully gave me an 'Eew' but I ignored him. This feels sooooo good!
The lady came back and Edward asked for the bill. She looked at me weirdly and walked away. I must have been a sight! Biting my fiancée's hand, looking as if I was at peace.
Oh well who cares? This feels too good!
