Stephanie Meyer Owns the lot
Bella POV
It had been just a bit over an hour since we took off and movement in the flight was apparent.
Most of my classmates heading to find their friends in other seats and catch up. I figured since Emmett had come and soon followed Rosalie who made no conversation with me and no eye contact either.
It was like I wasn't even there.
But Edward had a super short conversation with her about his car engine so I didn't bother listening in either.
Since the whole earphone incident, Edward and I went back to the whole silent treatment. He didn't want me to talk to him and I was more than okay ignoring him.
We survived that way. And we'd survive the 16 hours remaining.
Hopefully.
I heard the wheels of the food cart being pushed through the aisle as the air hostesses served the first mini course of snacks and a drink. I was pretty hungry so I kept bobbing my head to look down the aisle to see where the air hostess was.
Edward had turned his tv off and was back to listening to music and looking out the window.
I noticed our teacher Mr. Richard walking through the aisles and stopping at ever alternate seat. He had a couple of pamphlets in his hand and was headed towards my seat.
"Ah Bella, good to see you're all settled in. Charlie asked me to keep a special eye on you. Are you comfortable?" He asked and in the corner of my eye I saw Edward shift and look at me.
I was embarrassed, but I couldn't blame Charlie. He knew I hated long flights and it was nice of him to keep a check on my well being.
"I'm okay Mr. Richard.." I said and he gave me a warm smile. He looked at Edward and then back at me.
"Well I'm sure Mr. Cullen here will be the best travel buddy for our trip. Speaking of, you two should start preparing yourselves on all the historically significant facts about the places we will see in Barcelona.
Here are two pamphlets and..."
"I'm sorry Sir, you said travel buddy?" Edward interrupted and I could hear the annoyance in his voice.
"Yes! I thought it would be easier for the whole class to just pair up with whoever they got to sit with. It makes things easier for me and it's a way for each of you to make new friends and get out of your comfort zones" he said smiling at me.
I returned it half heartedly.
"Is there a problem Mr. Cullen?"
Edward sighed "No sir"
"I should expect not. You both are high rankers of my class, take it to your advantage." He said before handing Edward and I a pamphlet of the tour itinerary and historical facts of each place we were going to.
He moved past us to the next set of students a couples of seats behind.
"Fuck" I heard Edward whisper and dump the pamphlet in the pocket of the seat in front of him.
I gulped.
I placed the pamphlet in my bag and decided to go over it some other time.
I turned to Edward.
"We could just exchange partners with whoever doesn't want to be paired together too" I suggest and he scoffs.
"Didn't you hear him? He's put us together for a reason. Probably trying to get you to see eye to eye with your competition" he says leaning back into his chair.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh come on Swan. You practically asked for it. You didn't even interrupt when he was saying all that. You're so obsessed with figuring out how I've always been one step ahead of you.
And now is the perfect opportunity for you to try and analyze how I do things so you can finally get a win" Edward says crossing his arms and smirking at me.
I bite my lip. Who the fuck does he think he is.
"First of, I'm not in any way obsessed with you like you think the entire schools population is.
I'm the only person who sees you for what you really are.
A fucking assho-"
"Shhh.. language Miss Swan" he teases
My ears are heating up and my blood is boiling.
"Oh I'm sorry, did I just cut you off?" Edward asks feigning politeness.
I couldn't help what happened next.
My hand fisted and headed for Edward's stupid chiseled jaw. But his hand caught my wrist mid way and he gave me a disappointing look.
"Seriously?" He asks holding my wrist in mid air.
"You're pissing me off" I seethe.
"Chief Swan's daughter should know violence is never the answer to solve your problems" he says in a deep voice almost with authority.
I sigh giving up. I let my hand unfist and Edward slowly puts it down.
I retreat my hand and rub my wrist. I didn't realize how tight Edward held until he let it go.
Also my sensitive skin would even make a paper cut seem like it needed stitches.
I pulled my sweater sleeve back to examine it.
Just a tiny bit of redness that would go eventually. I placed the sleeve back and turned to the aisle to see if the air hostess was anywhere near.
"Bella.." I heard Edward call and I ignored him.
I turned back to my tv and put my headphones on. I played an episode of the walking dead and kept my attention in the range of aisle to my tv screen only.
A couple of minutes later I felt a tap on my shoulder.
A beautiful, no that's an understatement, she was drop dead gorgeous.
The air hostess flashed a brilliant smile and when I looked at her eyes I immediately figured it wasn't directed at me.
"What can I get you two to drink?" She asked.
Edward was the first to answer
"Whiskey with coke please" he said and she smirked.
"I was told not to serve alcohol to the Forks High School kids" she said reached for the bottle of jack daniels and a cup with ice in it.
Edward gave her a lopsided grin "I won't tell if you won't" he said in what I assumed was his sexy voice.
I pretended to still be watching my show but I had turned down the volume to hear the conversation.
The air hostess got my attention again and I asked her for an orange juice. She handed me a glass of it and some mixed nuts and proceeded to the next passengers.
I looked over at Edward.
He was about to take a sip of his drink when he caught my eyes.
"Want a sip?" He asked and I'm pretty sure my face plastered shock.
"That's actual alcohol and we're underaged" I say and he chuckles.
"Swan, you're telling me you aren't even a bit curious?" He asks leaning in a little closer
"I am..but I can wait..." I say
"You're 17..four more agonizing years of waiting" Edward says in a soft whisper
He swirls the whiskey in the glass and raises his eyebrow at me.
"One sip" he says handing the cup to me.
I lean in to just get a tiny sniff of it.
I scrunch my nose and retreat to the safety of my orange juice.
"That smells awful" I say
Edward bursts into a fit of chuckles.
Genuinely for the first time, Edward laughs.
And is it possible for someone to even have such a hearty melodious laugh.
I watch as his lips form a content smile after laughing so hard, his cheekbones intact and tiny dimples disappear.
He takes a sip of his drink and pokes my still scrunched up nose with his finger.
"You're kind of cute sometimes Swan" he says before grabbing his headphones and diving into a new movie with his drinks and snacks.
I scoff at him. I open my snacks and start eating them. The mixed nuts are nice but I love the salted almonds the most. But I just got two of them in mine. I slyly try to reach and steal one from Edward's packet hoping he wouldn't notice.
I manage to get one and he swats my hand the next time I try. I finish up my packet and down my juice.
But I'm still hungry.
Edward is so engrossed in the movie, his drink is done already. He pauses his movie momentarily and plops his empty glass into mine and puts the packet of nuts along with the tissue all on my table.
He closes his table and then goes back to watching the movie.
Edward Cullen I'm not your trash bag.
I shoot him a glare which he conveniently ignores and I start clearing my table up.
I crunch my packet and then his and notice Edward didn't finish.
I opened the packet and there were five salted almonds in them. The rest of the nuts were all eaten.
I hid my tiny bit of excitement as I took the five in my hand and savored each one of them.
I turned to look at Edward and his eyes were already on me.
He had a calm pleasant smile and I mouthed a 'thankyou, but I still hate you' to him.
He returned it with a nod and a smile before going back to his movie.
I guess silent treatments wasn't the only way we'd survive this, we did still have 15 hours to go.
