CHAPTER 9
•~Bella Swan~•
It didn't take long before Edward and I made it to the restaurant. When he'd asked what I was in the mood for, I didn't hesitate before begging him to take me to the new sushi restaurant downtown. Mom hated sushi, so anytime I had the opportunity to get a bit of spicy tuna, I took it.
"So, what did you wanna talk about?" I asked between bites. For the last half-hour, he'd been asking me about school and my writing, and I could tell he was trying to avoid something.
Edward cleared his throat, and I noticed he was sweating a little. I wasn't sure if he was nervous or if he'd just eaten too much wasabi.
"I umm... damn… I had this whole speech planned out, and now my thoughts are just a blank," he told me with a groan, eyes locked on my face, his normally cheerful expression grim. I didn't know what the hell he was going on about. I'd never seen him looking anything less than perfectly composed.
Unsure whether he was actually going to speak or not, I popped a piece of spicy tuna into my mouth.
"I umm... I wanted to ask your permission for Renee to marry me," he said quickly, sending me into a bit of a choking fit.
A/N
Will Bella need Edward to do the Heimlich Maneuver or maybe mouth to mouth resuscitation? Thoughts?
Have you ever done something to embarrass yourself in a restaurant?
Until later...
