Chapter 3 – Grocery Store Part 2

"Edward!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. He landed on the ground gracefully, as always. His perfectly sculpted face was on the floor licking up the bloody trail.

The old lady turned around to see Edward on the floor looking at the trail of blood her uncooked dinner left behind. She immediately screamed.

"Edward get up!!!" I tried to move but was frozen on the spot.

Edward stood up and gagged. His coughs were uncontrollable.

I tilted my head confused as his pale face showed a tinge of green. I looked at the old ladies basket and found that all her meat packages were still in place with no rips or tears. The only thing leaking was-

"Oh no," I groaned.

It was a V8.

x.X.x

I shook my head in disappointment. "You shouldn't of done that Edward," I lectured him in the car trying not to laugh.

His eyes were frozen on the road. His face tense, of course he was angry with himself for 1.) Making a complete idiot of himself. 2.) Almost blowing his well worked for cover. Plus, Edward was always working himself over something.

"Tsk, tsk," I muttered mockingly.

He gave a low growl, "How can you eat that stuff?"

"Easy. We close our mouths and chew. But for your case, drink," I smirked, "Just wait until Emmett gets a hold of this."

He used his index finger and his thumb to pinch the bridge of his nose. "Bella," he murmured just loud enough for my ears to hear.

Was he begging? No, way. Edward was begging. What was the point? Alice probably already found out. Edward immediately scowled as if he heard my thoughts, which he can't. Oh no, it was Alice's thoughts.

Five minutes later the Cullens' house came into view. Walking up the steps I could already hear, not only Alice's but Emmett's, Rose's, and Jaspers. They were all on the floor rolling in laughter.

"Y-y-you," Emmett stammered from the laughter, "Ate people food!"

Edward gave him a cold glare that gave me shivers. It didn't have the same effect on the rest of them as it did for me; it only made the others laugh harder.

"It's true!" Jasper, gasping for air because of his laughing fit.

Edward just gave him a growl that vibrated the room.

Alice's musical laughter was the loudest of all, probably because she actually 'saw' what happened, "You should've seen your face when you licked it off the floor!"

Now, I could start the pent up laughter I kept in all this time. Edward disappeared and a large slam and an audible crash could be heard.

"Ooooh Eddie!" Emmett called, "Esme is going to get you for that."

His roar vibrated the house making everyone laugh even more. Behind his angry roar was just embarrassment and shame—more of the former than the latter.

Everyone got eerily quiet quickly. Edward was pissed, it was just that obvious.

I sighed. "I'll go up."

Poor Edward, he must feel like an idiot, a first time thing for him.

"Edward?"I walked over the destroyed door on the floor. He must really be angry . . .

And there he was, my Edward with his pale arms crossed over his chest and pouting. There aren't many times I get to see him pout. He was so adorable; even he did just slurp up a V8 off of the grocery's floor.

"Edward," I sighed sitting next to him on his over sized bed that only gets used when I'm here. "It isn't that bad."

He stared intensely at me with his liquid topaz eyes that were so helpless at the moment. "Yes it is."

He's so . . . convincing—stupid vampires and their stupid ability to dazzle people especially me taking advantages of my weakness with his bronze hair, his eyes, his face, his pouting . . . He wasn't playing fair at all.

I sighed giving up. "What is it?"

"I'm hungry," he rubbed his stomach like a three year old.

"You just ate!"

He shrugged, "And I thought it was food. Holding my breath remember?"

"But you shouldn't have been able to tell that it's a V8, not blood," I pointed out to him, with my eyebrows raised.

Edward just rolled his eyes and gave me a soft lingering kiss; that totally dropped the subject.
