Chapter 4: Talk
I turned around, averted my eyes from his and said, "Hi."
Edward could tell something was wrong, "Bella, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing really, just something I saw today."
"And what was that?"
"Ummm...nothing that important," I didn't want to accuse him of anything before I knew my thoughts were true.
"You won't tell me?"
"Nope. Too bad you can't read my mind."
He sighed, "If only I could, things would be so much easier for me. At least for me to find you if you were going somewhere dangerous. That would mean everywhere, considering how accident prone you are."
"That is not funny," I said. I glared at him.
"Yes it is," smiling that crooked smile I loved so much. How could such an angel-like person do something so untrustworthty?
"Hey Edward, can I ask you something?" My heart started pounding.
"Of course."
"Never mind."
"No want is it?"
With my heart beating faster than ever, I said, "Who was that girl you were with today? Who is she to you?"
"Oh, you mean Kaylin? She is an old family friend. We've known her for at least 50 years. I was just asking her if she would like to come to the wedding. I also asked her if she would like to help plan the wedding, considering she is a wedding planner."
"What about Alice?" I asked relieved it hadn't turned out the way I had feared.
"She saw that Kaylin was coming to town, though I don't know why. She was the one that suggested I ask her to help plan the wedding."
"Oh, okay."
"Is that that all you wanted to say?"
"Yes," I wasn't about to tell him that I had suspected her was cheating on me.
"Hey? Isn't that the math homework due tomorrow? Bella its 12 o'clock! How are you supposed to finish that by tomorrow and get enough sleep?"
"I dunno. Finish my homework and drink lots of energy drinks and coffee tomorrow."
"That is not a very healthy lifestyle."
"I know, but do I have to stay extremely healthy, considering you are going to turn me into a vampire as soon as we are married?" His face turned angry, Edward wasn't really excited about the idea of me becoming a vampire. In fact, he was opposed to the idea. I guess that is why he was constantly postponing the date, first till graduation, then till after the wedding. What's next? After I graduate from university?
"I supposed not," he said stiffly.
"Okay. Now will you at least help me with this math?"
"That's cheating, Bella."
"I asked you to help me, not do it for me."
"Alright."
An hour later, I was asleep in Edward's arms. But not for long.
Author's note:
Hoped you like it. I know that it isn't as good as the other three chapters, but it was all I could write without giving too much away. Sorry it took so long to post it. I had no inspiration. LOL.
