Chapter 10 ... Small Talk
Bella P.O.V
I woke up tangled with the others on the couch. We had watched Saw, The Exorcist and many other scary movies last night and fell asleep on the couch.
I squirmed against the hot body next to me, my head was thumping, screaming and writhing. It hurt so much.
Alice was laying half on my legs and half on Jasper's. Jasper and Rose's heads were leant together and Emmett was holding her around her waist.
I snuggled closer to the body I was on, whoever it was is warm and smelled divine... oh.
I looked up to be met by a great emerald green. He smiled and I smiled back, rather awkwardly.
"I-um. Good morning" he whispered.
"Good morning. How long have you been awake?" I whispered back, suspiciously.
He looked away. "I didn't go to sleep last night"
"Oh" was all I could say. I pulled away only to be pulled back by Edward.
"Where are you going?" he whispered softly.
"Coffee" was my only answer as I dethatched myself.
I put the coffee machine on, and breakfast. We would need breakfast and coffee after last night. After an unexpected game of 'I have Never' when Rose and Emmett descended the staircase.
I put the eggs and bacon on, mostly for Emmett.
Edward came through, groaning. I quickly made him coffee and placed it afore him. He murmured thanks and drowned in it. I chuckled as I sipped at my own, it was scalding hot.
I sighed, leaning against the counter. I felt obliged to make small talk to will the awkwardness with Cullen.
"So, how are you?" I said guiltily as not to hurt his head.
He groaned. "Sore...uh. I hate hangovers."
I chuckled. "Who does?"
He smiled crookedly shaking his head in amusement.
"What you doing today?" he asked.
"Making you all breakfast and racing home before Charlie goes fishing with Harry, Sue and Billy."
"Why'd you need to get back before he leaves?" he questioned.
"Charlie... um let's just say Charlie has the tendency to set the house on fire when cooking. And of course Charlie offered to make the fishing pick nick this week, since Sue is too busy to make the fish fry before their trip."
Edward laughed.
"What about you?" I whispered.
He stood up and walked over to me. He leant closer and my breathing hitched. He smirked and turned the cooker down by the knob behind me.
He chuckled and I rolled my eyes.
"Ehm... I think Jazz, Emm and I, are shooting hoops later." he smiled.
"Cool" I added awkwardly.
"Yeah..." he looked around.
Emmett saved us by barging through the kitchen doors muttering about food.
I laughed as the others came through, their heads heavy and their bodies limp.
"Hey" Alice had lost her usual chipper attitude.
They all sat on the stools while I dished out breakfast and coffee and sat down to eat with them. They all greedily downed their coffees as I smiled.
I went upstairs and got ready and was downstairs in fifth teen minutes.
Smiling, I said my goodbyes before going home to help Charlie.
. . . . .
"Dad. What the hell are you doing!" I exclaimed in horror as Charlie put the sauce in the microwave. It was still in its metal container.
"You could have blown it up" I shook my head.
"Oh" Charlie was shocked.
"Yeah" I chuckled. "Remind me never again to let you cook dinner"
"aha" he nodded. He looked somewhat upset.
"Daddy?" I whispered. "What is it?"
He sighed, sitting into his chair. "I got some news today when we were fishing. Harry has been told by his doctor that he has fatal heart-dieses"
I gasped. I knew how much Harry meant to Charlie. He was like his brother, best friend and partner in crime. Well, I wouldn't use the word crime around Charlie.
"I'm so sorry" I whispered wrapping him in my arms. "I love you, daddy"
"I love you too Bellsie"
. . . . .
I yawned walking towards my first class of the day, who doesn't hate Mondays? I definitely hate them, stupid Mondays.
I stumbled into my English class and trudged towards Alice. I sat down beside her before slumping my head onto the desk.
Alice giggled handing me a piece of paper as our teacher started the lesson. We soon began scribbling sentences to one another the whole period.
You look a mess.
Jee, thanks Ali.
Just saying.
Omigosh, Alli. Did I tell you Prada have a 50% sale today?
"WHAT!" Alice screamed, the whole class turned in her direction. I shook silently in laughter.
"Miss. Brandon?" Mr. Keins looked over his glasses.
"I um, couldn't hear you; you mumbled, sir" Alice glared at me before sitting down.
That; that Bella was mean!
Hey, you fell for it! =P
Bitch =P
. . . . .
Slowly as the lunch bell signalled, Alice pulled me along with Rose to the cafeteria.
I groaned at the smell of school made slush –yuck- as I made my way over to the table with the girls. We smiled at the guys as I avoided Cullen's face.
I of course had to be seated next to him and the moment in happened he made an arrogant comment.
"Bella, how about we skip biology and go to the janitor's closet" he grinned, amused.
He knew I would retaliate and I did not disappoint. I was peeved, what happened to the semi-tolerable Cullen from the weekend.
"I won't step in one more closet with you after last time"
"Admit you enjoyed yourself, you like playing games with me and you want it for real this time" he whispered seductively before I heard a nasally laugh from behind me.
"You are so funny, Eddie. Baby" Jessica cooed almost as if he was actually a baby.
"Jessica, its Edward." He said sternly before pulling her onto his lap and kissing her cheek which effectively made me gag, Edward glanced sideways at me and smirked. I was sure Edward said he didn't even like Jessica but... I don't even care.
"So I was thinking that we could go to that new restaurant in Port Angeles this weekend." Jessica smiled.
Edward declined sweetly saying he was busy.
"Okay, bye Eddie baby. Touch -oops- I mean see you later" Jessica giggled. That was so cheap.
Alice, Rose, Jasper, Emmett and dominantly I, couldn't compose our expressions as disgust and sickness set on our faces. Jessica, seriously?
"I thought you didn't like her?" I blurted. My eyes widened as I realised what I said.
"Jealous? Ahh, I don't but she's a good lay"
Jasper and Emmett snorted. Emmett guffawed whilst Jasper rolled his eyes but both receiving warning glares from Edward Cullen.
"No I ain't jealous... You're such a self-observed, egotistical, sexist ass!"
Edward laughed as I glared at him.
I turned away from him just in time to see Mike walk slowly to the table. He blushed slightly making me awe. He was a cutie.
"Hi Bella" Mike smiled.
I grinned back. "Mike"
"I-um, um, um" He glanced over at Rose who nodded. I am defiantly missing something.
"Do you want to go out with me?" he all but shouted, embarrassed. Everyone looked over and I couldn't help but notice the intensity of Jessica's glower.
Edward laughed lightly behind me and I turned to glare. Shutting him up.
"Of course Mike" I nodded, actually excited. Plus I couldn't back out, it was my dare.
"How about that new restaurant in Port Angeles?"
I nodded, Mike grinned and Edward scoffed. I ignored him and focused on Alice's beaming grin, she was happy for me, even if it was Mike.
Mike smiled before excusing himself.
When he left Rose, Alice and I gushed about how sweet he was. Sure when he was drinking he was an idiotic fool but when sober Mike was kind and shy.
"You aren't seriously going out with Newton, are you?" Edward said in shock.
I nodded. "Why not, he's sweet, cute, kind plus it was part of the dare Rosalie set" I finished of by narrowing my eyes at the blonde.
"Fine" Edward huffed.
"Aww jealous are we?" I teased...
HEY BACK! I was grounded and my precious laptop was taken from me! =O But all is fine now, I got it back like yesterday and needed to write and answer e-mails! =D
