Chapter Two: Grocery Shopping

Bella POV

I felt two cold arms wrap around my waist and pull me closer. Instantly, I was wide awake- despite the fact that it was six in the morning! But, how could I sleep with Edward pulling me closer to him?

"Edward?" I asked curiously.

I opened my eyes to find I was in Edward's bed wrapped in his arms- just as I thought. I snuggled a little closer to him- not wanting to move anymore than I already had. He wrapped his arms around me tighter and held me as he kissed the top of my head. I closed my eyes and sighed contentedly as the moment stretched on.

"Bella?" he asked after a minute. Edward pulled away from me to look into my face.

I cracked one eye open to see that he had a look of confusion and concern on his beautiful face. This time, I sighed in frustration as I opened both of my eyes slowly. I wasn't happy about the fact that he had pulled away from me, but I was curious about what it was that had him so confused this time.

"What is it Edward?" I asked groggily.

"Well, it's kind of about what you were saying in your sleep. What did you dream about?" he bit his lip nervously like I always did. I couldn't help but smirk as he did so because I knew I was rubbing off on him.

"What did I say this time?" I asked. My dream was rather crazy, and I could only imagine what I had said.

"Well, you just kept saying stuff about chunky monkeys, spoons, and dresses."

I started laughing at the fact that I had actually said that in my sleep, but it did fit with the dream. I started to giggle at my own warped imagination. Edward looked at me like I truly had lost my mind, which only made me laugh harder. I was starting to have a hard time breathing, so I began to take slow deep breaths to calm down.

"Okay….Okay…." I said calmly.

I was taking deep gulps of air that served the purpose of suppressing my laughter, and it also served as a stall to help me think about how to explain what I dreamed about. If anything from last night, I remembered Alice explicitly telling me to not say one word about the fact that I ate a whole quart tub of ice cream for dinner to Edward because it wouldn't go over very well. So, I decided to leave that tiny little fact unknown for now and omit the ice cream part from my dream. I took one last deep breath and began to tell my revised dream.

Ten minutes later…

"….And that was when we all started dancing to 'The Bad Touch.'" I finished.

Edward sat there with his brows furrowed and just stared off into space. Deep down, I knew this was going to happen. It was like he just couldn't believe I had actually dreamed about what I had. You would think that someone as talented and imaginative, especially in music, as Edward was would be able to grasp what I was telling him. But, apparently you lost a little bit of your imagination when you couldn't dream anymore.

Finally, he came out of his thoughts and shook his head as if to clear it.

"Well, what do you want to do today, love?" he asked, suddenly excited.

"Well, I am over for the entire weekend, so I don't have to worry about going home. But, before we make plans, let's let the human eat her breakfast." I said as I got up and stretched.

"Sounds good to me." he said as he kissed me and picked me up bridal style.

We were in the kitchen in seconds. Edward sat me down and I immediately went to the fridge to start my search because I knew what I was looking for. I had to see if there was any of that ice cream from last night left. It was amazing. Words can't even begin to describe how good it was. I NEEDED MORE!! NOW!

I opened the freezer door a little too quickly, but Edward must have chalked it all up to hunger because he didn't say anything. As soon as the door was open, my eyes started to frantically scan the mostly empty shelves for the tell-tale Ben & Jerry's logo on the few boxes and tubs. The first box was a frozen pizza- no. Beside it there was a box of waffles- maybe- if there is no ice cream! I cringed at the thought, but continued my search. Toaster Struddles were defiantly out, and I still couldn't find my Chunky Monkey! How could this be happening! The only thing like ice cream in the freezer was Sherbert! Ew! Sherbert could not compare to the awesomeness of Chunky Monkey!

I slammed the door in frustration and disappointment. I would have to tell Alice to get me extra next time she went food shopping at my request. Wait- that was it! I turned to Edward and gave him a look that dared him to defy me and said, "Grab your coat- we're going shopping."

Alice practically appeared out of nowhere suddenly and started bouncing in the doorway, while Edward's jaw dropped for a moment and he stared at me in disbelief. He knew I hated shopping, and apparently he didn't understand. I sighed as I began to explain.

"Not clothes shopping-" I saw Alice's face fall a bit. "Food shopping. Now grab your coat." I said seriously again. "We're going grocery shopping…" my stomach growled right as he turned to leave and he stopped to stare at me intently. So I added, "….After I eat my waffles."

Ten minutes, an ecstatic Alice, and two waffles later…

I climbed into the passenger of Edward's Volvo anxiously. Secretly, I was grateful I hadn't seen Jasper yet today because he would have defiantly picked up on my emotions and guessed something was up. Then, I realized as Edward climbed into the car that now was one of those times that I was very thankful he could not read my mind. I had already invented a very plausible lie to explain the Chunky Monkey to him. And, Alice was with me to help, or to buy stuff mostly. I didn't really care either way. I was ready to go and get my ice cream! I was simply giddy and drooling at the thought of it.

Jesus, calm down Bella you sound like a crack addict about to get your fix for the day. I thought.

Oh shut up- you know you like the Chunky Monkey! My own internal voice snapped back.

Well, you aren't gonna get it if you don't calm down!

Are you threatening me?! How dare you threaten me!

Chill out chunky it'll be okay…

Oh no, you just did not!

Oh yes I just did! Look at yourself, you've had the ice cream once and you are totally addicted to it!

Am not! Now shut up and go away before I hurt you- well actually myself.

Fine!

"Bella?"

How do you know my name?!

"Bella, we're here." I felt someone gently nudging my shoulder and realized it was Edward.

"Huh?" I said as I snapped out of my self-induced daze.

"We're here." He said as he looked at me softly.

"Oh." I said as I blushed.

I awkwardly climbed out of the car under Edward's concerned gaze, and closed my door. As soon as I stepped out, Alice gave me a warning look. I knew that she knew what was going on, but I just shrugged. I was too anxious to get to my ice cream to care about her opinion right now, and I took off walking as quickly as I could without stumbling.

In the store, Alice grabbed a shopping cart and was practically bouncing the whole way through the store. I wanted to run straight to the frozen food section, but I knew that for my plan to work, I had to be subtle. So, first, we went through fruit, then cereal, and canned goods. Alice was randomly throwing things in as we went through the aisles, and half of what she threw in was not something that was good or useful to me. I mean, what could I possibly do with a can of dehydrated milk?

"Bella…" Alice began when I called her out on what she was doing. "You understand how many people live in our house right?" I nodded. "Appearances." She said simply. My mouth made an 'o' shape. "Now, where are the frozen foods?" she asked as she started to power walk down the aisle once again.

My eyes glazed over a little when she said that, but I quickly shook it off and started after her with Edward by my side. I could sense him glancing at me curiously every now and then but chose to ignore it, and I can't believe I actually did, but I replaced my thoughts of him with the thought of ice cream. What the hell is wrong with me?! Honestly, maybe my little inside voice of reason from earlier was right- maybe I was addicted to this stuff. But, it takes a long time to develop an addiction right? So technically, it is just a fond obsession. A fond obsession that now had me almost drooling at the tubs of Ben & Jerry's that laid behind the sliding glass door in front of me, and had Alice biting her nails while holding white knuckled onto the buggy beside me.

"Edward?" I managed to keep my voice normal somehow.

"Yes, love?"

I turned to face him and gave him the best smile I could summon up. "Would mind going to get the bread? I forgot to grab some…" I said and bit my lip.

"Sure, I'll be right back." He said and turned to walk away. As soon as he rounded the corner, Alice attacked me.

"Bella, what is going on?" Alice demanded as I opened the door and started to pull out the Chunky Monkey ice cream.

"Nothing, why?" I said as I grabbed one tub and set it in the buggy. Why only get one? I thought to myself. I wanted more last time, and with two I won't run out again.

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a cold, forceful hand grabbing my elbow. "Bella…" Alice said while gesturing at me, whom was trying to grab a second tub of ice cream. "this, is not nothing!" she said critically.

"What? I'm just buying some ice cream." I said nonchalantly.

"Bella, since when do you eat ice cream?" she raised one eyebrow.

"I've always eaten ice cream." I declared as she stepped closer to me.

"Okay, but since when do you eat Chunky Monkey ice cream in mass amounts?"

"Two quart tubs hardly classify as mass amounts, and I eat Chunky Monkey since last night."

"But, don't you think you should put one back? You can't possibly eat two whole quarts of ice cream by yourself."

"I ate one last night, which was a mistake, and besides, the other is…" I paused to think of how I could pass off the second tub of ice cream in my hands that I oh so desperately did not want to put back. Finally, it clicked and you could virtually see the light bulb ding above my head. "…is for appearances!" I said quickly. Alice's face fell and she sighed dramatically.

"I knew I should have never let you eat that ice cream, but how was I supposed to know it would lead to this?" Alice asked as she sunk down on the floor and started to dry sob. Oh crap, this was my entire fault.

"Alice," I said as I sat down the ice cream and knelt beside her. "It's okay, it's not like I'm addicted to it. No need for the melodramatics." I said.

"Then why do I see you becoming addicted to it?" she said viciously.

I was a little shocked by her sudden anger and declaration, but she continued despite the look on my face.

"Edward will know, and he will blame ME." she said as she dropped her head into her hands.

"Edward won't blame you." I said. "You know he wouldn't, and I won't become addicted to ice cream anyway. So, no need to worry. Isn't being addicted to food a little ridiculous?"

She smiled at me charily, and I returned the favor. I stood and stuck out my hand to help her up even though she didn't need it. Alice accepted and hosted herself up.

"Don't worry Alice." I muttered as I turned around to grab the tub of Chunky Monkey from the case. "There is no way I'll become addicted to this stuff." I said as I turned around.

She raised her eyebrow at me again. "Then why are you getting two tubs?" she said suspiciously.

"Appearances." I repeated myself. "Isn't that why you have been buying at least two of everything today?"

"Partially. Plus, I just like to buy stuff." she said as she merrily hoped up on the back of the buggy.

"So I've noticed." I said under my breath, but I knew she still heard every word. I saw her roll her eyes.

"Come on." She said as she hoped down. "Let's go check out before the frozen stuff melts."

"What about Edward?"

"He'll round the corner in three…two…one…" she said.

As soon as she finished counting down, we saw Edward come running around the corner as fast as he could without giving himself away toward us. Alice started laughing next to me, and I turned to pass my open-mouthed gaping stare between her and my fiancé who was still running toward us like a mad man being chased. When my eyes shot back to Edward, he shouted.

"Run!"
