A/N: Hey everyone Sorry I've been missing, it's just been hectic lately, and I've had writer's block. Oh funny story, my mom has a block that says writer's block on it, so punny. Anyway, yeah, here we go. Oh yeah, I feel like I've drifted from my prologue, so yeah… Anyway, that was about a week I wrote that heading, I've been busy a lot because my school load has increased, and still have extreme blockage. I hope those of us, like me in the US are going to have a great Thanksgiving, I will be visiting relatives, so I might/might not write, depends how bored/ how dead I am.
I gripped my pea coat around as I reached the front door of Edward Cullen. It was now November, and the chilling air had begun its battle, it was definitely winning. The scent of decaying leaves permeated my nose and I grinned in delight at bitter, yet comforting smell. I released my hand from the death grip on my jacket and poked the doorbell. He came out quickly.
"Hello Bella!" He ushered me in, a grin on his face. We had grown to be friends since I started working at their home. I mean, what else do you do when you come early to your customer's house because your social life consists of… not even going to go there.
"Hey Edward, I guess Scarlet is still with Tanya?" I closed the door and deposited my winter get-up on the empty hook. Since the divorce Tanya had cleaned her act up and had been granted visiting privileges.
"Yes, and anyway before I leave I have a question to ask." He was not in a rush today to get to his job, then again I came early.
"Yeah," I replied hesitantly.
"The hospital wants me to go to a business meeting next week in New York. I'm bringing Scarlet with me and since I will be busy and as well as the other doctors attending, I was wondering if you could babysit a couple of the kids." His eyes apologized for the large amount.
"Sure, but isn't next week Thanksgiving?" I asked, never forgetting the rule that you don't go on business trips during Thanksgiving that my parents taught me.
"Yes, and I can't cook a turkey for my life. " He grinned lightheartedly.
"And from what I've seen, the only kitchen appliance you can actually use is a microwave." I smirked; teasing him became one of my favorite activities.
"Okay, so I will send you the information?" I nodded, he checked his watch "Oh, I better get going." With that he left the house as usual. I strolled to the living room and turned on the TV, low enough so my ears could hear the doorbell. I turned on some mindless sitcom, getting lost in some stupid plot about love as usual. Lucky her, two guys want her, doesn't she realized the rest of us don't get that. I heard the bell ring again.
I ran to the door, "One second, I'm here!" My hands raced to the deadbolt trying to remember how to turn it. Finally opening, the door revealed a red-headed pair. The older one, Tanya, was dressed modestly, as opposed to the slutty wardrobe Angela told me about. Maybe Ang was just jealous of her. A pair of straight-legged dark was jeans draped her legs. On top a caramel coat was tied around a red scoop necked shirt. A black belt, black flats, and a pretty necklace completed the look. Her small daughter was dressed in a white long sleeved shirt, jeans, and brown Uggs. Lucky rich people. Small talk spurred between the two of us, mainly about the weather before she left.
"Did you have a fun time with your Mommy?" I knelt down and picked up Scarlet taking her to the family room.
"We went to the park and candy shop. Then we had dinner. " She chirped quickly, slurring words in her usual fast-paced talk. She reminded me of Alice. The night went smoothly and I went home happy till I was confronted by a pile of invitations and envelopes.
"What is this?" I sifted through the pile.
"Remember you agreed to help with them?" Rosalie grinned evilly.
"Not this much."I frowned.
"To bad, get working slave!" She giggled and pointed to the overwhelming pile surrounding Alice.
"It's your fault Rose if I am unable to produce saliva after this." Alice teased the blond.
A/N: Sorry I'm stopping there, I know really unnatural stopping point, but it would just be random fluff. The plot will start next chapter, well that will be a bit of fluff, possibly, but yeah… Sorry this took awhile it's been crazy lately. With the Christmas season coming around I've been busy at church, so excuse my absence.
