=) like promised another chapter for today.
Chapter 8
For the rest of that week I went through the same routine. I would hang out with Jacob before and during school but would have to ditch him after school to do my report with Edward. I felt so bad ditching Jacob after school but part of me wanted to be with Edward.
I felt so guilty, thinking those thoughts knowing that I was going out with Jacob. But when I would have my thoughts all straightened out Edward would give me that goodbye hug that made me crave his electrified embrace.
I had to avoid Edward after this project was done or else I might do something I would regret and that might hurt Jacob. 'All I have left is today and tomorrow,' I thought to myself. It was Saturday and our report was in its final stages. But I was worried because I would not see Jacob all day today and just Edward, Edward and look more Edward.
I knew today would be unbearable but what would keep me a float would be Jacobs texting. It would distract me from Edward and remember that I was dating Jacob. Though what I couldn't help was the way I dressed, one part of me said dress to impress but the other said to dress as I normally did. I decided to dress a little better but not so much. I wore a blue tank top under a white jacket and a jean skirt and blue flip-flops. I put on cover up on my face because I still had some visible bruises and I also put on some eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss to give my lips some color.
Once I was done I skipped breakfast because I was running late and I would have to be at the library in thirty minutes and that was the car ride. David greeted me kindly and I the same and once I was in the car I continued reading Romeo and Juliet but was to anxious to read much.
As soon as the car stopped I said a quick goodbye to David and was walking into the library. I went to the table we had sat in the first day of our research and like I expected there was a sleeping Edward.
He always fell asleep at least once in our visits to the library. But by this point it wasn't cute anymore just annoying, so I had no problem waking him up. I found out the best way to wake him up was to poke him on his side.
As I sat down next to him I poked him and like I expected he jumped up right out of his seat and landed on the floor. He looked up at me as if in a daze and then I thought I saw a quick smile fall over his face once he saw mine but then it was replaced by an angered expression.
"Why do you always have to do that?" he said in an annoyed tone as he got himself off the floor.
"Because I find it very amusing," I said with a smile.
"What do we have left with the project?" he said, changing the subject.
"Umm… we have to make all the info we gathered into a speech"
"So no more reading on Homer?" he asked with a hopeful expression on his face.
"Nope, no more reading," I said with a smile. "Though if you want to read on Homer Simpson you are welcomed to," this time I said it with a grin.
He just gave me a look and then we went to working on the project. It took us two hours to create a speech from the paper we had written the day before; all we had left was to memorize it which we would do later on today.
While I was packing up my things Edward asked, "Do you want to go eat out somewhere?"
I was thinking of a way to get out of this so I said, "I'm not hungry so-" right then my stomach growled.
Edward just stared at me with a wide grin and said, "What are you in the mood for?"
I gave up on excuses and said, "Anything is fine with me."
"Is pizza fine there's this great place close to where I live." he said.
"That sounds great," I said honestly.
As we walked to this pizza place we were talking about random stuff, about things we liked, what interests we had in common and what we didn't.
We soon got to the pizza place and when we entered I could see someone throwing dough into the air and a man putting a prepared pizza into a brick stone oven.
Edward saw what I was staring at and said, "They make everything fresh here."
I smiled at him and he led me to a booth. A waitress soon came to get our orders and once she had them she was gone.
Suddenly Edward said, "Let's play twenty questions."
I just stared at him in amusement and said, "Make it ten and I go first"
"That's fine with me" he said with the lopsided grin on his face.
"Okay…umm…what's your favorite color?"
"Blue especially when it's against your skin," he said eyeing the tank top I wore under my white jacket.
Blushing I continued to ask questions "How many siblings do you have?"
"I don't have blood siblings but adoptive ones, four to be exact."
"What happen to your real parents?"
"They died in a car crash when I was ten."
"Who are your parents now?"
"Their names are Carlisle and Esme."
"Where they the first to adopt you?"
"Yes but before that I had been through many foster homes."
"How old were you when they adopted you?"
"I was fifteen."
"Did you accept them as parents?"
"Not at first. I was really rebellious against them but I soon got use to it and now they're the only people I really respect."
"Were you the first to be adopted?"
"Yeah then it was Rosalie, Emmet, and Alice and Jasper."
"Isn't weird how everyone is going out with each other?"
"Not really but I did have to get use to it and our parents don't mind."
I went quiet for a second not wanting to bring this up but it was something I really wanted to know so I asked, "Why do you do it?"
He looked at me very seriously knowing what I wanted to know and then sighed.
"I do it because my family needs the money," was all he said and I wanted to know more but I realized that I had already asked ten questions.
He suddenly smiled and said, "My turn." As he said that the waitress brought our food and left right away.
"What's your favorite color," he emphasized the 'your.'
"It changes from day to day," I said
"What's it today?"
"Emerald Green," I said as I stared into his eyes.
"Why?"
I blushed as I said "No reason." He looked at me as if saying, 'tell me,' so I did, "because of your eyes."
What I said must have pleased him because he was smiling for the next question, "Why are you so rich?"
"My father owns a company."
"Why are you going to this school if you can go to any private school?"
"Because this is the only school that would accept me."
"Did you use to go to a private school before this one?"
"Yes the most elite in the city."
"How come no other school accepts you?"
"Because I got kicked out of that elite school."
"What did you do to get kicked out?"
"Something," as all I said and Edward knew that I was not going to say anything more on the subject.
"Why are you going out with that dog?" he made a face as he said this.
"His name is Jacob and I am going out with him because he asked and I accepted."
"Do you love him?"
That question caught me off guard and at first I didn't know what to say, so remained quiet as I thought. Jake and I have been getting close and I had feelings for him but I don't think I can call it love. Though I did feel safe in his arms and when I am alone I would wish he was there to protect me. Even now I wished he was with me but not as much as when I am alone. Maybe I wished he was here so that I can remember who I was going out with.
When I came back to reality I realize that I was gazing off into the distance and when I looked at Edwards face I saw that he was looking at mine intently, as if he was reading my thoughts through my eyes.
I finally said, "I could…I'm probably close to falling in love with him…but no, right now I am not."
Edward went into his own world as he thought over my words. Then he said, "That's a good thing then." I was going to ask why when the waitress came to drop off the bill which Edward took looked at and took out his wallet to pay her and she left with the payment.
He then said "I have to be somewhere soon so do you want me to drop you off or is your driver coming?"
"Umm, if you could just drop me off at the library, I'll call David to pick me up there," I said.
"Okay let's go," was all he said until David arrived. Edward wrapped his arms around me tighter then he usually had, also longer. He then whispered into my ear, "You looked very pretty today," with that he left and as I entered the limo I was blushing.
I know this seems like a filer but its not i just wanted you guys to know how there relationship is progressing and a little more into there personal lives=)
