Chapter 7 - Seth, Meet Edward
I still couldn't believe it.
Thanks to Edward, the bloodsucker, who was supposed to be my natural born enemy, I was holding an iPhone 4. The expensive, high quality phone gleamed subtly in my hands as I examined it critically. I wasn't a technology girl, but you would have to be blind not to notice the obvious expense of the phone.
Part of me was confused: Edward wasn't technology prone. That much was obvious, especially when he told me that he didn't know what a mobile was. So how on earth did he manage to get me an iPhone 4, when he had practically no knowledge of phones?
I was shaken from my thoughts by the door opening. Seth came trotting through the front door, locking it behind him, and promptly dived upon me, his smile was so wide that it made me beam, too. He looked genuinely happy to see me. I smiled at Seth, pulled him into a hug.
"Hey sis," he greeted once we'd pulled away. His eyes shone as he held up a brown paper bag. I sniffed, instantly smelling the fresh cookies that Seth always bought on a Saturday.
"Hey bro," I replied. "I hope you got one for me, otherwise I'll have to steal yours."
Seth grinned.
"Don't worry Lee, I wouldn't forget you," he paused to pull a cookie out of the bag and hand it to me. I nibbled on the edges for a second, before looking around the room to check that there was nobody else in sight. Then, I put the cookie into my mouth whole, chewing a couple of times before swallowing.
"They good?" he asked. I nodded enthusiastically. Seth promptly stuck one into his mouth, swallowing the entire cookie whole. I gaped at him for a second, and Seth grinned cheekily.
Then, it happened.
"What's that?" Seth grunted, pointing to my new phone. Bits of cookie fell out of his mouth as he spoke. I gagged a little, rolling my eyes. Inwardly, I panicked. My thoughts became frenzied.
Promptly, my phone buzzed.
From: Unknown
Message: Calm down Leah, just tell him your friend gave you it. And stop screaming your thoughts at me, you're going to give me a headache. E xx
"A friend gave it to me," I mumbled. Seth raised an eyebrow.
"Did he now?"
"Who said he was a he?"
"You did. Just now."
Seth grinned evilly, and I glared at him, not bothering to deny it. My phone promptly buzzed again, and I looked down to read the message.
From: Unknown
Message: Silly Lee. You need practice at lying - how do you feel about taking a trip to the infamous Cullen household today? My brother wants to meet you. He seems to find the JCB Tough Phone hilarious. E xx
"So," Seth said once I looked up. "A guy, huh?"
"A friend," I corrected. "I'm not ready for a guy Seth, you know that."
"Who is he? What's he like?"
"He's really nice," I dodged his first question.
"I didn't catch his name."
"That's because I didn't say it. Can we drop it for now?" I added. Seth sighed but nodded in defeat. I smiled, looking down to type a reply - and add Edward to my contacts.
To: Eddie
Message: I would love to come and meet your brother. He sounds like he actually has a sense of humour - unlike someone… L xx
About a second later, my phone beeped, signalling I was getting a call. I let an amused smile onto my face, before answering the phone. Seth waved half heartedly as I left the room.
"Alright Ed?"
A bunch of rabble came from the other end. Confused, I tried to decipher some of the words.
"…Emmett… give me… the damn… phone…"
"Nu-uh Eddie, I wanna talk to your friend too! Hi, is this Leah?" another voice asked. I grinned.
"Yeah, it's Leah."
"Haha! I loved your JCB Tough Phone joke, Eddie won't let anybody else touch it… though I did have to teach him how to text," the voice continued.
"Emmett! Shut the fuck up! Hi Leah, can I call you back? Okay, thanks," and the line disconnected. I grinned - I really wanted to see what was happening, but I knew I couldn't just drive down now. That would be wrong.
Buzz.
From: Eddie
Message: Ye
He was obviously still fighting for his phone. I sniggered, and pressed 'Call.' There was a long silence, before that annoying woman with the very posh voice answered the call.
"This number has been terminated…" I rolled my eyes. The two morons had obviously destroyed the phone. I wondered vaguely if Edward could still hear my thoughts.
I sighed. I'd have to try and contact him later.
…
…
…
Of course, about twenty minutes later, Edward was stood outside my bedroom window clutching the remains of the JCB to his chest. He waved half heartedly at me, his ginger hair being blown by the wind.
"I'm not ginger," he greeted me as he landed in my room.
"Never said you were," I replied.
"No, but you thought it," he smirked.
"Prove it," I challenged. He rolled his eyes and chose not to answer. I smirked in triumph.
"I'm sorry," he said after a pause. "Emmett landed on it. We tried to fix it."
I looked down at the broken yellow remains of the phone, and I didn't believe that. Edward looked sheepish.
"Honest. Super glue didn't seem to work, though," he said thoughtfully. I tried to stop myself laughing at him.
"Don't laugh at me," he pouted. That only made me burst into laughter, tears coming from my eyes as I promptly went into hysterics. Edward watched with an amused expression on his face.
"Subject change, please," I begged, once I could breath again. I'd never laughed so much. Ever.
"Okay. Will you come and meet Emmett? That way he won't try and steal my phone again," Edward asked.
"Of course. Do you have a date in mind?"
"How about now?"
…
…
…
"LEAH!"
I had a feeling I would regret this. Apparently, I was right, as a giant, pale blob promptly dove onto me and dislocated my arm. A searing pain ran through it, and I winced, but didn't let out a noise of pain.
"Emmett you idiot!" Edward roared in the background. I watched Edward pin his brother against a tree. Emmett - the pale blob - looked sheepish as he glanced over to me, where I was collapsed on the ground, holding my arm in place as it healed. The dull throb of pain was comforting, somehow.
"Is she okay?"
"Just healing," I called. "One second."
A couple of minutes later, my arm was back in place, fully healed. I stood up and looked at Emmett, who was staring at me with guilt in his golden eyes.
"Relax dude," I told him. "Nobody died."
Edward shot me a 'that isn't funny' look. I sniggered playfully, before signalling for Edward to let his brother go. He did as I said, and Emmett bounded over to me, holding out a large, pale hand.
"I'm Emmett!" he told me, beaming. "Video games, gadgets, any form of technology and wrestling, that's what I do. I'm the muscliest vampire in the world," he added proudly.
"I didn't know 'muscliest' was a word," I replied, grinning.
Emmett beamed.
"It is now."
The two led me inside, where the rest of the family was waiting. I felt a little uncomfortable as I walked into the house - the scent of vampires was too strong, burning my nose.
"I'm Esme," a motherly like vampire said. "This is Carlisle, my mate, Alice and her mate Jasper and Rosalie with her mate Emmett. We're cooking -"
"McDonalds," Edward interrupted. "She likes McDonalds."
I blushed bright crimson. That's an embarrassing fact you asshat! Wait until we're upstairs and I can hit you in the face.
"McDonalds it is," Esme replied, smiling shyly. I smiled shyly in return. Edward was tense beside me.
"Shall we go upstairs?" Edward finally asked, once the silence had gotten a little awkward. I nodded, inwardly smirking. I followed Edward up the stairs, past a wall of graduation caps, and into his room.
It was a beautiful room - decorated in black and gold. The object were squeaky clean, not a speck of dust to be seen on them. My eyes examined the room critically, and I could only think of one thing to say.
"No curtains?"
Edward burst into laughter, and below, I could hear the rest of the family do the same. I grinned, watching his reaction. Finally, he stopped laughing.
"No curtains," he agreed, smiling.
…
…
…
We spent the rest of the day either outside with his family playing some form of extreme sport, or inside at his grand piano. I lounged across the grand piano as he hammered out Lady Gaga for me to mimic, which was quite amusing - or at least, it was to Emmett.
We left - after I had eaten the McDonalds that the Cullens had supplied. As soon as we got into Edward's shiny silver Volvo, I hit him around the face twice for good measure. He didn't ask why, he just grinned and took it like a man.
"I hate you," I told him.
"Love you too sweetie."
We arrived back at my house at gone ten o'clock.
"This is where I get off," I told him.
"I'm aware," he replied.
"Right, well, night then," I turned to go into the house. Edward followed me to the door though, and pulled me into a cold hug. It was strangely comforting - being hugged by a vampire.
And then, the door burst open. Seth's happy face locked onto us hugging, and his breath caught in his throat. His black eyes became sombre - angry, and he glared right at Edward.
"So… this is your 'friend?'"
…
