My legs were cold.
I was sat in kitchen, I had just gotten up and hadn't quite woken up properly yet. I slept in really late this morning, well... late for me anyway. Charlie had already gone to work hours ago and I was starving. I was still in my pyjamas so I reached over to the thermostat and turned it up, before opening up the fridge. I pulled out a carton of milk and grabbed the box of cereal of the top, I whacked them in a bowl and slumped onto one of the kitchen chairs, resting my head in my hand I slowly ate my cereal. I was half finished when my cell started to ring... it was probably nobody important. It was the other side of the room, on the counter and I was just too lazy to get up and answer it. As I said, I hadn't woken up yet. I carried on shovelling the cereal into my mouth as it went to voicemail. A deep, husky, southern voice was coming from the phone.
"Err, hey Bella, It's J-"
In a flash, the sleep that was clouding my mind disappeared and I flung myself across the room. I slammed the phone to my ear, "Hello."
"Hey, Err, It's Jasper."
"Hey, what's up?" I asked.
"I was wondering, if you wanted to accompany me to a movie this evening?" he suggested, his voice thick, as if waiting for a rejection.
"I'd love to," I said breathlessly.
"Really? Great. Pick you up about five...ish?"
"Yeah, that sounds good." I said before giving him my address and saying goodbye.
I calmly set the phone down, and walking slowly back to my cereal. Not bothering to finish it I dumped it in the sink. I took a deep breath, and tried very, very hard not to get excited.
I failed.
I squealed and started bouncing. I took me a couple minutes to calm myself down again before I could even hold my phone again without sending it flying across the room. I pressed speed dial number 3.
"Hey Bells," a high voice chirped. "What's going on?"
"I need your help!"
"Bella, Bella what's wrong?" she said, her voice worried. "What's happened?"
"Calm down Alice," I said, soothingly. "I need to go shopping that's all."
"That's all!" she shrieked. Alice's life was shopping, and me saying 'that's all would have probably set her off under normal circumstances, luckily today she was preoccupied by the task at hand. Her voice turned serious. "Me and Rose'll be at yours in an hour," and she hung up.
