Chapter eleven.
He can act normal
"So who did you meet today?" Edward and I were having lunch at Fat Sal's Pizza. This was the cheapest meal I've ever eaten with him. I felt normal sitting here eating pizza instead of some hundred dollar meal. I took a piece of pizza out of the box and bit into it. I chewed the dough, sauce, and meat slowly.
"Well I met James, who you saw at the hospital. I also met some girl named Alice." Edward's eyes got wide at the girl's name. He sat his slice of pizza back in the box and looked at me.
"How did she look?"
"She was about 4'9, and..." He put his finger to my lip and smiled. I couldn't help but smile also. "What?" I asked him.
"Well that little spiky hair pixie is my sister Alice." My mouth dropped into an 'o'. He nodded, still with that goofy smile on his face.
"Are you serious? I nearly knocked her over while I was leaving class."
"Did her hand connect with your face?" He asked licking his lips.
"Nope but I thought it was." He chuckled and nodded.
"She must take a liking to you then."
"Maybe so," I hummed finishing off my pizza.
"So who is this James guy?" I knew that question would pop up soon. What should I tell him? James hit on me in class and then just so happen to end up at the hospital where I also was?
"I don't really know a lot about him except his name." I told him closing the pizza box.
"I don't like him." I chuckled and placed my hand on top of his on the table.
"You don't know him." He shrugged.
"I just have a bad feeling about him."
"Me too." I uttered before getting up. Edward and I left the pizzeria and I walked him back to the hospital.
"Do you want to drive my car home?"
"Then how would you get home?" I asked with a smirk on my face.
"Oh yeah, well you can come back and get me."
"No, I'm fine." I stated. "I'll just ride the subway."
"If you insist, I'll see you tonight." I nodded and left to catch the subway. As I made my way down through the subway tunnel, a homeless man caught my attention. I tried not to look at him as I passed but I felt a pair of eyes burn into the side of my face. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and seen that the homeless man was staring at me.
I continued walking and before I knew it, I tripped over a paper bag. I fell to my knees. The homeless man quickly got up and made his way over to me. He grabbed my hand and helped me to my feet. He patted my back, closer to my neck, and stepped back.
"Watch where you're going next time." His voice sounded oddly familiar but I pushed that to the back of my head. I forced a smile and nodded before quickly walking away.

I hung my jacket in the closet and began to undress. I wasn't used to all of the tight clothing, I usually just wore sweats and a t-shirt. I folded my clothes and sat them on the bed in a neat pile. I grabbed a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt out of the chest and hopped onto the bed. I loved this bed so much, it was hands down one of the most comfortable I've ever laid in.
I drifted off to sleep only to be woken up by the sound of someone shuffling around the room. I slowly opened my eyes to see Edward taking off his shirt. I glanced at the clock and took in the time. I had overslept. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"Hi," I said throwing my legs over the side of the bed.
"Hi," he replied putting on a t-shirt. He walked over to me and kissed my lips.
"Mmm," I moaned into his mouth before he pulled back. "I'm going to go make dinner." He nodded and continued with taking off his pants. I left the bedroom and jogged down the stairs. Annie was sitting on the couch folding clothes when I came into the living room.
"Hi Annie." She looked up and smiled at me.
"Hey Jasper, do you want me to make you and Eddie dinner?" I shook my head. She already had clothes to fold and she had to clean up so I didn't want to make her job harder.
"No, it's okay. I feel like cooking tonight."
"If you insist." I walked into the kitchen and leaned against the counter while I thought about what I was going to cook. I decided on Chicken Alfredo. I scampered around the kitchen getting out pots and ingredients. I filled one of the pots with water and sat it on the stove. I turned it on and let the water come to a boil. I sat the noodles in the pot and went to cut up the chicken.
After the chicken was cut up, I sat it in another pot to let it grill. Once the chicken was done, I moved it to the back of the stove and began to cook the sauce. I let it simmer while the noodles got done. When everything was done, I grabbed two plates out of the cabinet and sat them on the counter. I filled each one of them with noodles and then topped the noodles with sauce and chicken. I stepped out of the kitchen and into the living room.
"Annie, would you like to have dinner with us?"
"No, I already ate but thanks for asking." She went back to folding clothes and I went back into the kitchen. I sat the plates on the table and grabbed two flutes out of the cabinet. I picked out a bottle of red wine and poured it into the flutes. Just when I went to close the bottle, Edward came padding into the kitchen. He sat down at the table and took a sip of the wine. I grinned and sat down in front of him.
"This is delicious," he commented after tasting the food on his plate.
"Thanks." I began eating while a comfortable blanket of silence covered the kitchen. I took this time to savor the meal that was sitting before me. I chewed each bite precisely while my eyes drifted close. After a few minutes, I heard a light chuckle. I opened my eyes to see a grinning Edward.
"What?" I asked still chewing a fork full of the alfredo.
"Nothing, you're just so cute when you eat." I picked up my flute and took a sip out of it.
"This really is delicious."
"I know, you should be proud and I should be happy."
"Why?" I asked taking another bite.
"Because I have someone to cook for me." I raised my eyebrow and laughed.
"So that's the only reason I'm here, to cook." I pouted my lips and tried to look sad but I don't think it worked.
"Maybe," he stated laughing. I shook my head. He leaned over the table and kissed my lips. "I'm kidding, you know you're here for many other reasons."
"And what are those reasons?"
"Because I love you, you make me happy, you're my lover, my best friend, my soul mate, my heart, and so much more." I smiled at his answer. I couldn't help but feel giddy about what he said.
"Nice answer, very nice answer."
"It was simply the truth," he said taking another bite of his dinner.
After we finished dinner, I took Edward's plate and cleaned up the kitchen before joining him in the bedroom. He was laying across the bed with one arm under his head and the other holding his blackberry. I grinned when naughty thoughts popped into my head. I had to shake those thoughts away after I realized that I had to have a balance of sex in our relationship. I didn't want him to think that our relationship was only based on sex now. I walked over to the bed and laid down next to him. He looked over at me before turning back to his phone.
"I have the day off tomorrow, maybe we should spend the day together when you get out of class."
"That would be nice. I only have one class tomorrow so I should be done around 10:00." He nodded in confirmation and sat his blackberry on the night stand.
"So what would you like to do?"
"Well maybe we can go out to lunch and then spend the day touring the city. You know for as long as I've been living here, I've never been to the Statue of Liberty." I told him looking at the ceiling.
"Well I'll show you the city then, well maybe not the whole city but the main attractions."
"That would be awesome." I finally turned on my side to face him. "You have been so good to me, what did I do to deserve it." He leaned in and kissed me, smiling against my lips.
"You were simply being you," he stated before rolling me over and straddling my hips.
