Bella POV
It'd been a week since the incident at the coffee shop. Agent Jones kept tabs on me, calling me everyday to ask how i was going.
The truth was; nothing was going at all. I had no idea how to 'get close to Edward', he wasn't even my problem, i should have never have agreed. But every time i think about running away and forgetting everything about Edward and the feds, the pictures of Edwards father fill my brain, the blood.
I rolled my eyes and groaned. Leaning back on my bed and letting my open book falling on my face. Mr Darcy couldn't even keep those nightmares away.
I heard a knock on my door, "Bella?" Alice stuck her head in and smiled. "Were going to head off for the double date now? Will you be alright here?"
Emmett and Rosalie had taken quite a liking to each other also. They decided to go on a double date, I was invited by Alice who felt bad but i really didn't feel like being the 5th wheel.
"Alice I'm not 12, I'll be fine here, don't worry about me, just go have fun?" She gave me a light smile and a wave before closing my bedroom door.
Moments later my stomach rumbled. Yeah food. I could go for some of that. I flung myself off my bed and out my bedroom door. I couldn't remember the last time we went grocery shopping so i hoped we at least had some Ramen noodles or maybe some left overs.
Please let there be food, please let there be food.
I swung the refrigerator door open and peered inside. Hmm some wine, one egg, some milk. I picked up the bottle and held it up to my nose. Oh gross! Some spoiled milk.
I groaned as i tipped the chunky liquid down the drain. That smell was revolting.
Okay so my options were very limited and i really didn't feel like an egg for dinner. I stared at the fridge for a moment when a leaflet caught my eye.
Dan and Chan Asian cuisine.
Noodles sounded delicious right now. I pulled my iPhone out of my back pocket and scrolled through my contacts. One name caught my eye.
Get close and bring him down.
Oh Bella this is a bad idea. The gruesome pictures flashed through my mind once again. Lets bring this bitch down.
I tapped his name and listened to the phone ring.
Come on Bella you can do this. Lets get our flirt on. How hard could it be? If you can flirt with Billionaires to get their cash you can do this. But those billionaires weren't also murderers. Okay nope not doing this, abort mission.
"Hello?" Oh shit.
"Hi, um Edward, its Bella" We can't back out of this now.
"Bella! This is a surprise, what can i do for you tonight?"
Lets get this over with Bella, "Well I'm sure your aware of Rose, Alice, Jasper and Emmett's double date" I heard him chuckle on the other end.
"Yeah i did, they've left me here at our apartment to fend for myself"
"Seems like we've got that in common, Alice and Rose did the same to me. Did you have any plans for tonight?"
"No I don't actually, i was just about to watch a movie at home" Come on Bella get your flirt on.
"Well how about you bring the movie you were about to watch to mine and we can watch it together with some dinner. Some Chinese on me? I'd really love some company right now" My voice lowered to a seductive husk in the last sentence.
I heard his next intake of breath followed by a cough, "Um yeah, yes that uh, sounds great. I'll be over soon, but you can't judge me for my movie choice alright?"
I giggled, "I would never, well order when you get here"
"I'll see you soon" and with that the call disconnected. 'Don't judge me for my movie choice?' that suddenly got me wondering what he was going to bring, a porno? No, probably something more embarrassing for him to be watching, maybe the notebook? A really bad chick flick? But then again thats not really embarrassing. I bet its a porno, it has to be. Like one of the ones that you can get from the video store, with the story lines.
I don't think id know what to do if he showed up with that. Maybe I'm just being stupid, there are more embarrassing movies in the world. Enough movie thoughts its time to get to work.
I knew Edward wouldn't admit to me anything about his father tonight so i didn't have to use the wire Agent Jones had gifted me in a fake book by an undercover Fed dressed as a Fed Ex worker in the coffee shop. There i was enjoying my coffee when the Fed taps me on the shoulder and hands me the package, getting me to sign for it and everything. Inside the package was a book with a hole cut out in the middle of the pages like some Nancy Drew bullshit.
Okay, back to the task at hand. We'll need some wine, the good stuff. Maybe after the movie ill crack out the tequila. Would some candles be too cheesy? To weird? I vote yes. Maybe a nice fleece blanket and some comfy pillows on the love seat for more comfort. My eyes flicked to the thermostat, maybe something to get us extra close? I turned the thermostat down and felt the cool breeze of the ducted air conditioning fill the room. Perfect.
I heard a quiet knock on the door. Show time Bella!
I almost sprinted to the door but quickly halted behind it. I took a deep breath and straightened out my blouse. You can do this.
I swung open the door with a bright smile, "Edward!"
He gave me a grin and i noticed a bottle of merlot in his hand, "Hey! I thought i might bring something to drink with dinner" He greeted, handing me the bottle.
"Its perfect, Come in" I gestured him in and pointed to the menu on the coffee table, "Pick what you want for dinner while i get the glasses"
He gave me a nod and took off his shoes at the door, while i scurried to the kitchen. I picked the glasses off the top shelf and corked open the bottle. I could just get some rat pellets under the sink and end it now, flee the country, somewhere the Feds wouldn't find me. I sighed to myself, your not a killer Bella.
I picked up the glasses in one hand and the bottle in the other, taking them out to Edward. There he was sitting on the couch, staring at the menu. He looked up as i walked in and gave me a breath taking grin.
Looking at this man, i didn't think he could kill his own father, he couldn't be capable of what i saw in those photos. His bright emerald eyes stared at me as i walked towards him. He couldn't be capable of something so horrible. Not Edward.
"Ive decided what id like, have you looked over the menu?" He asked as i sat next to him.
I gave him a nod, "I get the same thing every time, their chow mien with crispy noodles is to die for"
He chuckled and got out his phone, ready to order, "It must be pretty good, you'll have to let me try some of yours"
I poured us both a glass of wine and sat back, pulling my legs up and tucking them beneath me. I couldn't help but be mesmerised in his face as he spoke on the phone. He had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks, I'm sure he was use to that but, girls swooning over him.
His prominent jawline could have sliced butter and when he moved his head you could see his strength with the twining cords of muscle that shaped all over his entire body. A broad and firm chest, bulging arms and strong legs. You could tell this man was not shy of the gym.
As i admired him, he turned his head and smiled at me, his gleaming white teeth peaking at me through the grin. I couldn't hear a word he was saying, it all sounded like background noise, the hum of a voice could be heard but i was not focusing on that. At the moment, this man sitting in front of me wasn't a killer, he was just Edward.
My surroundings suddenly came back into focus as Edward ended the phone call, "All done, they said they should be here in about 10 minutes"
"Good, there always quick with delivery" I took a sip of my wine, "So whats this movie i can't be judging you about?"
He let out laugh and picked up his own glass from the coffee table and curling his feet underneath him just as i did earlier, "Okay well Id see previews for it and id seen all the hype it had been getting and i was curious to what all the fuss was about, I couldn't watch it when Emmett or Jasper were in the apartment because that would just lead to unrelenting torture of them teasing me for the rest of my life"
Oh god, it was porn.
He took a deep breath and removed the small DVD case out of his jacket pocket. I covered my mouth with my hand and stifled a laugh. Oh i was right.
"Oh Edward. Fifty shades of grey? You can ask me not to judge you for that" I laughed until my stomach hurt and there were tears pooling in my eyes.
Edward laughed too and gave me a playful glare, "I told you my reasons, why are you even laughing so much, its not even that bad!"
"Okay, so when you told me on the phone not to judge you for your movie choice i was so sure you were going to bring over a porno and i was so right!" He choked on his wine.
"Porn?" His eyes were wide open, "Nobody told me this was porn?!"
I went into another round of laughter, "Its not really a porno, theres a few raunchy sex scenes in it"
"Oh you've got to be kidding me, I didn't see that in the previews?" I patted his hand and heard a soft knock at the door. Record timing!
I jumped up from my spot on the couch and grabbed my purse. When i flung open the door, Matt stood on the other side, my regular delivery boy. He gave me a small smile and extended the bag of food out to me.
"Hey Bella, you eating for two tonight?" I rolled my eyes at his attempt at a joke.
"Ha Ha, I actually have a gentlemen caller this evening" I whispered back sarcastically which he replied with a chuckle.
"And how much did you pay him?" I gave him a playful kick and handed him a 50.
"Keep the change, use it for your lunch money tomorrow" I gave him a wink and kicked the door shut behind me.
"Dinner is served!" I announced to Edward who had gone into the kitchen and gotten plates while i was at the door.
"Are you ready to meet Christian Grey Edward?" I asked with a wink. He rolled his eyes and patted the spot next to him.
He groaned and poured himself another glass of wine, "Im going to hate this"
