CHAPTER: 4
Stepping into the elevator it was much like the hallway dark cherry wood from floor to sealing with marble floors. Going off of the numbers of buttons on the panel to our lift the house had 4 levels and we were headed to the very top.
The elevator open to a massive room three of the walls were made of shelves all full with books. Edward rolled out of the elevator and I followed. He headed straight to the desk at the far end of the room. In the middle of the room there was a couch and long coffee table.
"So what are we doing today, " I said come to a stop in front of his deck.
"WE, aren't doing anything I'm going to work and your going to stay out of my way."
"OK...so what kind of work are you doing," Edward stopped shuffling papers to stare at me lips in a thin line.
"No matter what I say your not going to stop asking me questions are you?"
"No,"
Sighing he said, "The in clinic patient trials my partner Jasper has been running ended the other day ,so now im going over the results. Adding up numbers and outlining how many pactins benefited from the medication and why?"
"Whats the medication for?"
"Diabetes"
"How long have you been involved in diabetes research?"
"Only a few months, but I've headed many different medical trials."
"Impressive," I said
"To a nurse, I'm sure"
I ignored his latest jab, more interested in the books around me. The first wall of books I came to was , of course full of medical book. The second a mix of dictionary, medical journals and personal life bio's, mostly presidential, but the third was just what I was hoping for. The Classics.
"Have you actually read all these or are they just here to look at?"
"No unlike you their more then just decoration and yes I have read them all," he said in the same insulting tone he's always used with me but this time, I didn't hear just an insult. I heard a back handed insult, one I can throw back in his face.
I tilt my head and let a slow smile spread across my face. I make my way back to the dictionary's.
"Decoration- an addition that renders something more attractive or ornate...aww you think I make things more attractive?," I say in the most annoying voice I have.
"Mmm I'm not sure, when I look at you and thing about all the time we're going to be spending together the idea of suicide definitely becomes more attractive."
"Oh my god Edward! Why would you say something like that?" I shrieked, quickly making my way to his desk I took a seat right in front of him and placed one hand over his. I could tell he was caught off guard by this. His only response was to look directly into my eyes. "think about your friends and family, and more importantly ME!.. I mean I'd be out of a job, I'll lose my health insurance 401k and have to spend hours in the unemployment line. We can't let that happen." Fully expecting Edward to ignore me or have a smart ass come back, I'm shocked when he throws his head back and... laughs.
Pleased with his reaction I feel a slow smile spread across my face,he was even more handsome when he smile I found myself hoping he'll start doing it more often.
"You know Bella, I hate you but I think we're going to get along just fine," he said, snatching his hand from under mine. "but don't ever fucking touch me again"
"No promises, but what I can do is get you something to eat, how bout it?"
"Fine lets hope you're better at cooking then you are at nursing?"
