CHAPTER 9 – CONFUSED
An hour later—
I shifted and looked up at the clock for the umpteenth time.
3:30 am.
Edward neither moved nor snored and true to his words kept to his side of the bed, but I still couldn't get myself to relax enough and get some well needed sleep. Instead, my thoughts drifted to my and Edward's relationship.
We don't really have the same relationship I have with Jasper and Emmett. I've treated the two like my older brothers but I couldn't bring myself to do the same with Edward.
That's probably because I find him attractive; and has had dreams, as a teenager, of things you would not do with your brother even if you're in another dimension.
But his face became his downfall.
Girls noticed him and of course that made his head big. The attention made him arrogant and never missed a beat in letting everyone know it. Aside from that, we were both stubborn as mules; exactly why my sister had to threaten us to go on vacation.
He's also over protective. I didn't know why he cares so much. He'd beaten a boyfriend of mine from high school and gave no reason as to why. I had a feeling everyone knew and every time I ask they just say they didn't know anything. It sucked since the only person who can tell me annoys the living hell out of me in mere seconds.
I heard a sigh and looked up at Edward. I stared and thought about how he'd saved me from Mike last night, of how he talked to me like we've been like that forever, and of how he wouldn't let me get a cab home for fear that I get raped and thrown in the sidewalk.
All these actions opened my eyes as to how I had been blind to see how he acted towards me. he wasn't as bad as I made him out to be. It seems as if everything I've seen before were masks of the real Edward, and I was determined to remove the mask completely. I was, after all, a detective.
With that thought my mind finally rested and I drifted into a peaceful sleep.
~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~
I woke to bright lights shinning directly to my eyes and it was too hot.
To say I was confused was an understatement. Last time I checked my bedroom had thick curtains since I was usually home and asleep during the daytime. And it didn't get this hot.
I heard someone groan and I froze. I felt something tighten around my stomach. I looked down and saw arms wrapped around me.
'Shit, what have you done?' I thought to myself.
Whoever had his arms around me must have thought it was alright to be touchy feely since the hand traveled over bare skin of my stomach. I jumped away and out of the bed.
The guy jumped and it was…
"Edward?" I looked around and realized I wasn't in my room and that was when I remembered that I had a sleep over.
I blushed at my previous thoughts while looking down to find me in his clothes.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Sorry."
"s'alright. What time is it?"
"10:42"
"Shit!" he said getting up just as his doorbell rang.
"Stay here."
I gave him an odd look but nodded and sat back on the bed.
He ran out and rang whoever was downstairs up. A few minutes later, I heard a very loud voice.
"HEY EDDIE!" Emmett said.
"Dude." I heard Jasper say softly. "Shut up!"
"OKAY. OKAY. JEEZ, YOU'RE GETTING OLD!"
"Shut up, Em."
"OKAY! Here's the CD, now leave!" Edward said.
"what's the hurry?"
"I woke up late and now i need to rush to get to the office. Bye." He said a few second and a few protests later the door slammed shut.
I waited and finally the door opened.
"So, who was that? Your girlfriend?" I asked jokingly and he gave me his crooked smile.
I was stunned.
"Why Miss Swan, I think you're fishing for info." He said wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"Maybe." I said skipping toward the bathroom.
I wasn't going to deny his observation. But I wasn't about to admit it either.
So… what do you think….
