We'd been friends for twenty-one years by now, somehow I'd believed that Edward would have developed a sense of humor in that time.
Not where I was concerned apparently.
I'd fought his battle when we were five against some playground bullies, and he had taken what he viewed as his debt seriously.
Too seriously sometimes, if you asked me.
Like considering missing an important meeting for his medical residency because I joked about getting a ride home with Jacob.
Gritting my teeth, I hit redial again.
"You've reached Edward Cull- Buttface! Bella, stop it! Leave your number and I'll get ba- Crack! Bella! I swear if you don't stop, I'll" Beep.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! I know you're listening to this. Call me back now!"
If anyone wants EPOV, it might be added in later. But for now, everything is through Bella's eyes.
