I love this chapter. You guys are going to have your jaws hanging open, I can feel it. Also the chapter title was my inspiration for this chapter.
Recap: "Shut up Edward! He would never do this to us! He would never do this to Esme! Just because you've known him the longest doesn't mean you know him!"
Chapter 10: I'm a Fishy and Fishys Don't do Math
Edward's Point of View
I was sitting in Bella's hallway leaning against the bathroom door talking to her as she took a bath.
"Edward what do you want to do today?" Bella's voice was muffled slightly by the sounds of her splashing the water.
I leaned my head against the door. "I don't know, we could go catch a movie or something." The water sloshed loudly alerting me that she was getting out of the tub. I stood up and leaned against the adjacent wall.
Bella came out only wearing a striped towel with her hair up in a loose bun. I followed her into her room.
"Why are you obsessed with watching me getting dressed? It's not like you see anything." She pulled her underwear on while her towel was still wrapped around her.
"I'm obsessed with you in general, not just when you are changing." I smiled as she turned her back to me, dropped the towel and put on a bra.
"Well that's not freaky at all." She said sarcastically as she looked through her closet.
"What? You don't like watching me dress?" I said in a fake hurt voice.
"I've never seen you dress. I haven't even seen you in your boxers before." She let out a long sigh. "Oh well I guess one of us has to be all self conscious and awkward." Her beautiful laughter filled the room. "Speaking of things of mine you've seen that I haven't seen of your's, when am I going to see your house?" Bella pulled on a blue sundress that was a bit too showy for the town of Forks.
"We can go today and you can finally meet my adopted mom." I grabbed Bella a cereal bar as we headed to my car. "Alice is down in Port Angeles shopping and my other brother and sister are in Africa so only Esme and Jasper will be home." Bella slowly nod not really listening to me. I was use to it. She just randomly drifted off think about things that I could never hear. "What are you thinking about?" Bella glanced at me swiftly then back out the window.
"Nothing in particular just taking in the scenery." I pulled into my driveway.
"Bella, you hate the scenery what are you thinking about?" She ignored me and got out of the car.
Jasper was in his room reading a book in Latin and Esme was in the front garden trying to distract herself by pulling weeds and planting climbing ivy.
"Hello you must be Bella." Esme wiped her hands on her jeans then shook Bella's hands.
She's lovely Edward. I'm glad you found her. Esme's sweet thoughts gave me a smile.
"It's nice to finally meet you Ms. Cullens." Esme flinched at the use of her old name.
"Actually it's Ms. Platt now, but you can call me Esme."
"Oh I'm sor-" Bella said awkwardly but Esme cut her off.
"It's alright, you didn't know." All three of us stood there not knowing what to say. Finally Esme turned around and went back to her work.
"Well that was only slightly uncomfortable." Bella whispered as we entered the house but I'm sure Esme heard her as clear as if she was shouting it.
We walked hand in hand up the stairs. Bella glanced at the outline of where Carlisle's father's cross use to be. She didn't ask about it but I knew she wanted to.
"I need to take a detour before we go to my room." I opened Emmett's and Rosalie's door and walked over to Emmett's fish tank. "Emmett put me in charge of feeding his fish while he is in Africa." I put some of the disgusting smelling fish food in the tank. Bella watched as the little fish swam to the surface.
"I use to have a fishy but he died then I got another fishy and he died too. Finally I got a third fishy but he died too." I stopped in front of my room. "In general fishys don't like me." She laughed. "Is this your room?"
"Yup." I opened the door and she stood in the doorway taking it all in.
"Wow it looks like it is straight from a magazine." She walked over to my new bed that I had just acquired and sat down patting the seat beside her.
"You like it?"
"Yeah, it is just perfectly fit for you." She gave me a peck on my cheek then walked over to my dresser. "So since you went through my underwear drawer I think it would only be fair if I could go through yours." She opened the top drawer which just so happened to be my underwear drawer before I could respond.
Someone's embarrassed Jasper's thoughts ran through my head. And it's not Bella.
"Let me see most men keep all their dirty magazines in their underwear drawer for easy access. I wonder how many you have." I could hear Jasper laughing.
"I don't own any 'dirty magazines' Bella." I rolled my eyes even though she wasn't looking.
"Whatever, I guess you just use the internet to look up your porn. Remind me to never sit at your computer desk, I don't want to catch any STDs." Jasper's laughter grew louder. She pulled out a pair of black silk boxers. "I like these ones. Can I have them? I need a new pair of PJ pants if you are going to keep coming over at night." She smiled brightly when I nodded my head yes.
Geez Edward I didn't know you were already tapping that.
I laid down on my bed and Bella joined me resting her head on my chest.
"Your bed matches my new pants." Bella mumbled as she snuggled closer to me.
"Mmh I'd like to see you in my bed wearing those pants or better yet nothing at all." Bella laughed and then we fell into a comfortable silence.
"Bella?" I hesitated. She ran her hand up my chest telling me that she was still awake. "I love you." Her eyes flew open and heart skipped a beat.
"I- I love you too."
Edward, she is lying
That was Jasper's thought at the end. tu es mon ame your review made me giggle like a five year old that just heard a dirty joke. Also Edward is not 'tapping that' just to let you know (he doesn't have that much control).
