One morning after another, Broderick came in his Cadillac (XLR-V Convertible). I wanted to ask him how he could have so much money, who his family were, and most importantly, what he was. Broderick didn't drive as fast as Edward, but he always managed to break the speed limit. Broderick reminded me of Edward... I was slowly getting more familiar with him. I was reluctant, but I couldn't help but yield to Broderick's friendliness and charm. But I was careful not to show my weakening position. I was holding on for Edward.
I looked around in my closet, searching for some clothes. I really needed to go shopping. Everything's too small or too old.
"Hey, dad?"
"Yeah, Bells?"
"I'm going to go clothes shopping right now. Ok? I won't be back for a while..."
Buying clothes was always the most difficult challenge. I was so indecisive when it came to buying clothes. It was my least favorite hobby, besides gym, but it was a necessary task. Charlie flipped through the channels a bit more before he faced with worriedly.
"Is anyone coming with you?"
"No, dad. The shopping center is only like a mile away. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
I slung on my purse and hopped into my truck. The engine was enormously loud as I fired away from the driveway, heading to the shopping mall, my face grimacing.
I quickly searched around the 50 off racket, but did not find anything that I wanted. I sighed and started to wander around the mall, looking for a clothes store that would sell stuff more cheaply. My funds were limited, and I had to be careful about spending. I mindlessly stared at the signs that came across me, thoughts whirring around in my head like a merry-go-round. I looked at my clock and practically jumped. I had spent two hours in the mall, just going around in circles. I panicked and squinted at the signs. What? Eyeglass shack? Never been here... I started to walk quickly, panic arising with every step I took.
"Bella?"
I heard a familiar voice. Relief washed over me.
"Hi Broderick. Do you know the way out of here?"
Broderick started to laugh. A mischevious tint came across his black eyes as he smiled.
"Sure!"
I narrowed my eyes suspiciously but followed him anyways. Pretty soon, we were in front of a theater.
"What is this?"
Broderick took my arm (I could not struggle against his iron grasp) and walked calmly to the booth.
"Two tickets please."
The lady raised her eyebrows when she saw me trying to pull away. I blused and did not struggle again. Broderick smirked as he led me inside the theater. Commericials were playing on the wide screen. Luckily, no one was there yet.
"What the heck, Broderick! What do you think you are doing! I wanted a way out, not a way inside some movie place!"
Broderick grinned.
"Our first date!"
"WHAT!"
By then I was furious. I was not going out with a person other than Edward.
"Get me out of here now."
I stomped my foot.
"Oh, come on. This is the movie that you wanted to watch for forever!"
I raised my eyebrows. How did he know which movie I wanted to watch? Broderick smiled.
"So, do you want to watch Paris and Juliet or not?"
I made a frown but settled in my seat rigidly.
"Whatever..."
I muttered darkly.
At the end of the movie, I left to go. Broderick stood up and grabbed my hand.
"Wait, no thank you's?"
I glared at him as coldly as I could, but it didn't have the affect that I desired. Broderick grinned and draged me out.
"What exactly do you think you're doing, mister! Let me go! I needed to go clothes shopping but you ruined it."
I was worried that Charlie would be suspicious if I didn't come back with bags of new stuff. Broderick smiled.
"We can go now."
"No way! It's 6'o clock! Way too late."
Broderick did his trademark gesture. He rubbed the back of his head. I rolled my eyes and left to go.
"Wait, Bella!"
I didn't turn back.
"Do you know the way out?"
I stopped abruptly. I relcutantly admitted,
"No..."
Broderick whistled and put his hands in his pocket.
"If you say please I'll show you the way out."
I rolled my eyes and said harshly,
"I can look at the map, thank you very much."
I walked around, and much to my delight, I found a plastic board showing the way out. As I was examining it, Broderick scooped me up. What was it with guys trying to scoop me up everytime? Edward loved to do this to me.
"Put me down right now!"
It was very embarassing. People stared at us as Broderick ran with me in his arms.
"BRODERICK!!"
He merely chuckled and led me into the parking lot. When he saw my truck, he put me down beside it. I took in a sharp intake of breath. I began my lecture,
"If you want to be around me, then do NOT ever pick me up. Second, I do not wish to be surprised like you did to me when you took me to the theater. And third--"
I was stopped short. Broderick had leaned over and was pressing his cool (but warmer than Edward's) lips against mine. I wanted to pull away, but I couldn't. I didn't know what was stopping me. But I just couldn't pull away.
