Chapter 3
The Mattress
BPOV
"Whose idea was it to put a mattress in the living room?"
"Yours," said a very annoyed Edward.
"I know! Who else would be that awesome?" I made him say it almost every day since we moved in here and had nowhere to put the mattress.
"No one." Grinning, I went to the kitchen where he was making a sandwich.
"Hi," he said.
"Are you pissed?"
"No, but you have got to stop making me say that every day!"
"Where's the fun in that!" I said, laughing. He joined in, I knew he couldn't resist.
I grabbed one half of the sandwich while he grabbed the other. I took one huge bite right before he asked, "Do you want to watch a movie on the great idea that is the mattress?"
Chuckling, I nodded my head.
Ever since we met in Secondary School we were always together and now that we were in university, Edward and I decided to live together. He hadn't changed much, he still looked like someone had gotten all of the things I loved on a guy and put it on him. Messy hair, a posh London accent, glasses, a weird but unique personality like mine and finally, my uttermost weakness, his bluey green eyes. I still drowned in their beauty after all these years. I actually told him to get contact lenses so I could see them without the barrier of his glasses, but he said they are annoying and difficult to put in. I couldn't argue with that.
I made my way to the "Great Idea" and jumped on while Edward got some snacks, shouting to pick a movie. I got up, grumbling that he was lucky I didn't get comfortable, and went to our "Movie shelf" to pick Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I loved Harry Potter in that one, he looked a bit like Edward plus I love a guy who can wear a cardigan. Expecto-patroYUM! (AN/ I am actually really proud of that so don't steal it! :P)
I put the DVD in the DVD player and was about to sit down when Edward came with popcorn, coke, crisps and gummy worms. Yeah they don't really go together but that's just us. He put the snacks down on the mattress and sat down himself with a bottle of coke, asking if I wanted one. I said yeah so he lightly chucked one towards me.
When the bit where Harry is under the duvet with his wand came on, Edward looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Seriously? This is like the twentieth time you are watching this in a week! What is it about this movie you adore so much?"
"Well I told you before, I think it's a really good movie, plus he looks fit and he looks like y-" I stopped myself before I could finish saying 'you', that would be embarrassing.
"Looks like what?" Damn he heard my slip up!
"Like… like a geek! Well he always does but in this he has a cardigan on so it's geekier and you know I have a thing for geeks. So can you please just drop it?" I rushed out everything and grabbed a handful of popcorn, shoving it in my mouth.
"Gosh, if you're that defensive about it, I'll drop it. For now," he added with that gosh damn smirk. I inwardly groaned and high-fived myself; groaning because of the smirk and high-fiving myself for saying 'gosh' and not 'god.' I was still getting used to being an atheist, even though it had been ten years, but you try saying 'god' for eleven years and then suddenly stopping. It's hard!
We ate the snacks together in silence for about thirty minutes before I started to feel a bit tired. I leaned my head against Edward's shoulder and moved a bit closer while wrapping my arms around him. He was used to it by now; I always needed a hug when I was tired. He wrapped his own arms around me as well; ha I bet if someone else saw us, they would think we were together. I wish! Another thirty minutes went by and somewhere in between I fell asleep. I was still half asleep when I felt my head being lifted and then gently dropped on a soft pillow and also a soft blanket being placed on top of me.
I snuggled into the mattress, feeling arms being wrapped around me. I put my arms around his stomach and slowly fell asleep again, smiling to myself.
(AN/ You're so lucky! I was going to leave it here but then I thought I'll make this a bit longer so it will make up for not being able to update soonerJ)
I woke up feeling something on my lips. I figured out that it was someone else's lips, I could feel their breath. I quickly opened my eyes and saw Edward. He was asleep. I pulled my head back and looked down to see that we were tangled together. Oh my gosh! How the hell did that happen?! As quickly yet quietly as I could I de-tangled my legs and arms. When Edward groaned I froze but then…
"Bella?" His voice was deeper than usual but he literally just woke up.
"Um, good morning! I was just…um…going to take a shower," I stood up and while trying to hide my red cheeks from him. I ran through my room, straight into the bathroom. Shutting the door I leaned against it. Holy shit! I just kissed Edward! Our first kiss! But we were both asleep, so that's a bit sad. Even in my sub consciousness I wanted to kiss him but unlike my conscious state, my subconscious actually succeeded.
I heard Edward knocking on my bedroom door asking if I was okay. I told him I was fine but I could tell he still didn't believe me. I heard the door opening and closing, then footsteps. Edward knocked again on my bathroom door. "Bella is something wrong? Did I do something?" Damn, now he was blaming himself. I got up and opened the door, coming face to face with Edward.
"No! No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that when I woke up we were….we were…."
"Were?"
Okay Bella just say it, do it like a plaster. Quick and easy. "We were kissing and tangled together," I blushed bright red again. Edward just stood there, silent with his mouth open, staring at me.
"Really?" Finally he spoke.
"Yeah, I just woke up and felt something on my lips and it was yours and then I untangled our limbs and you woke up right after."
"Um, wow. Okay, then." Oh my gosh! Even Edward had pink cheeks. Aw, that is so adorable! Now the room was full of blushing faces. Well only two but it did still count…
"Okay, we have two choices," he seemed in a deep thought, "we either; Be awkward around each other, which is bound to happen or we could forget that it happened and carry on without the awkwardness..."
To be awkward or not to be. That is the question. Well it's a pretty easy choice. "Let's just forget it happened," I replied.
"Forget what happened?" He smiled while raising an eyebrow.
"I don't know. I forgot," I hoped I looked quite confused on the outside because I was trying really hard not to smile.
This is what I loved about our relationship, the easiness of it.
That was also the reason I couldn't gather the courage to ask him out, I was afraid if we ever broke up we would lose it, and I couldn't handle that. He is my best friend, it was a risk I couldn't afford to take.
Or could I? Nope, definitely not. Gosh, I am such a scaredy cat! Urgh, I really did not want to be one of those girls. Those who think they'll ruin their friendship, but apparently I am one of them… Fuck… Well, I guess that's just brilliant! I just need to woman-up and ask him out! It's so simple, just go to him and say "hey we've been friends for years now; best friends ever, but I want to be more than that because you're like my dream guy and our babies would be beautiful!" Okay maybe not the last bit…
"Bella?" Edward's concerned voice brought me out of my musings. Shit, I forgot he was still here as well!
"Mm, yeah?" He had a very confused look on his face.
"Um, are you alright? You've just been standing there with a dazed look and a smile on your face. Were you day-dreaming about me?" he said with a smug look that I wanted to wipe off of his face.
"No, I was just day-dreaming about penguins and adorable baby walruses!" I was amazing at lying; except when it came to him. He would put a finger on my nose and just say 'you're lying.' I don't know how he did it but he was always right. Always.
I could see the finger nearing my face. I quickly ducked and ran out of the bathroom, laughing, and since he was in mine I ran into his bedroom and locked it.
Yup, I could not ruin this.
