Previously: What am I supposed to do now?
Where do I go from here?
Will I ever see my guardian angel again?
I'm an idiot! I didn't even get his name! Guardian angels have names right?
Chapter 3
I awoke to the most delicious smell. I could smell bacon, eggs, fruits. Mmm… Must open my eyes and get out of bed…
Hold up.
Why do I smell food in my house?
My eyes fought to open against the sunlight shining through my room. That's funny. I swear my blinds were closed yesterday. What time could it possibly be?
I pushed the covers off me, and slowly sat up and stretched the farthest I could possibly stretch, hoping to wake up. If there's food somewhere in this house smelling this good, why should I leave it alone? I was seriously famished. Finally off the bed, I stumbled to the kitchen, eyes half closed, to see…
What?!
"Good morning sunshine! I made you some breakfast. I wasn't really sure what you'd prefer, so there's bacon, eggs, some fresh fruit, some pancakes, yogurt and berries-"
"What are you doing here? How'd you get in my house?" I managed to squeak out, as my vision adjusted to the stream of sunlight illuminating my kitchen (mind you, it was brighter than what I awoke to in my room) and the wondrous being standing in front of me. This was SO not what I was expecting to find here. Don't get me wrong, the sight was absolutely beautiful, I couldn't help but stare as if my eyes were permanently glued in his direction, but... what the hell?! There stood Mr. Guardian Angel in front of the stove, with his messy hair, a soft glow around his face, with this huge smirk on his face. A cute one I might add.
"Bella, are you seriously asking me how I got in here?"
"Well, yes… No… I mean… Wait. How'd you know my name?"
"Bella, come on! What's with the silly questions?"
"Right. Of course. Obviously. You. Angel. God. Gotcha." Wow, I felt pretty dumb. "So… Does my guardian angel have a name?"
"Edward." He stuck out his hand for me to shake. I walked over slowly, cautiously to where he stood and shook his soft, electric hands. Who has electric hands?! I swore I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body. Maybe it's an "Angel Thing". I must be seriously losing it. I quickly took my hands and pretended to smooth out the non-existent wrinkles on my pants. Crap. I was still wearing yesterday's clothing.
"So, Bella, take your pick. What would you like to eat this morning?" Edward offered. He must be some cook. The food looked and smelled delicious. I quickly grabbed two plates, and put some eggs, bacon and fruits on one, and some pancakes on the other. It was all for me of course. Are angels able to eat?
"Sorry, Edward, may I get you a plate? Do angels even eat?"
"Yes, Bella," He laughed, "We do tend to have quite the appetite."
And so, there we were. Human and Angel, sitting at the table eating breakfast cooked by my guardian angel. Just your average morning. I wonder how long he will be here. I mean, his job was to ensure I was safe and I didn't jump off the building so I'm safe, right? Right! I'm glad we agree. I wonder how safe I am having these conversations with myself.
"So, Edward," I loved saying his name, "How long will you be… around?" I wonder if that was the appropriate word to use. He looked thoughtful for a second, as if thinking of the right thing to say. His green eyes slowly came up to meet mine and he smiled at me. This angel had a smile to make any girl go weak in the knees. I wonder if that's legal in Heaven.
"As long as I'm needed. Seeing as how you were contemplating suicide yesterday, you are still considered 'at risk'. I must remain by your side and help you return to a normal state, and until that happens, I'm stuck here with you."
My eyes grew wide and I dropped my fork onto my almost empty plate.
"I'm fine thank-you-very-much. I don't need to be babysat. I'm old enough to make my decisions, and yesterday's attempt was a mistake. I realise that. Thank you for your services. Give the Old Man up there a big hug and thank you from me," I huffed as I tried to make him get up from his chair. He weighed quite a bit, and wouldn't budge. I couldn't move him an inch!
"You know, it is quite rude to kick a guest out of your house, especially after he's cooked your meal for you, and more so, while he's eating."
My hands immediately fell to my side and I looked at his face, at the huge grin that was plastered on there. He knew he was frustrating me, and he was purposely doing this! What did I do to deserve this?! First all the crap from yesterday and now a "guardian angel" who likes to annoy me. Why me?!
I had no response to his comment so the best I could do was give him cut eye and stomp off to finish my food in silence. The silence didn't last very long – only about 15 seconds.
"Okay Bella, we need to create a game plan for you in order to bring your life back in order and we will fix it. I promise you that." I couldn't help but look up from my plate, and stare at him in wonder.
"I just tried to kick you out, and you're still willing to help me?" Truly an angel.
He cracked one of those gorgeous smiles as he said, "Just doing my job. So, ready to set up a game plan?"
As long as he kept up with that crooked smile, I'd be ready for anything!
A/N:
Hey guys! So sorry about the delay in getting the chapter up! I took a couple of mini-trips here and there, and right now I'm in the middle of exams. I have one tomorrow night and one next weekend. BOOOOOOO!
Anyhoos, I've been working on this chapter on and off for a few weeks now, trying to perfect it and get it right and make it as long as possible. I had to end this chapter here though. Sorry again about the delay.
As for writing in the perspective of *sigh* him, I've decided to hold off on that. His side of the story might give away important details that I am not willing to part with at the moment but which will come later on in the story. So I'm thinking perhaps the best thing to do right now would be to focus on Bella and write Edward's POV once I am done with this story.
So thank you all who have beared with me during this long wait! Also, a super humongous big huge "Thank you!" to 4kitty101, MaxAndTwiFan, Midnight Beauty With Love, Red Apples Inc., did not resurface612, Jakes Rolo Chick, MuffinsandRandomness, StarrxLight and ninjanoni for your wonderful reviews! I appreciate the responses and suggestions! :o)
Hope you all enjoy this chapter! Please feel free to review! I love to hear what you think! :D
Until next time,

P.P.S. Sorry to those who have the story on favourites for the many notifications of the update of Chapter 3 if you receive them.. I wasn't happy with certain phrases/things, so I had to make the changes. I think I've got it down right now! :o)
