Chapter 25: Bonding
I gathered my scattered clothes and went for a shower. I just stood there, letting the cold water run all other my body. Cleansing it from every thing I had done and thought within the last hour. I stepped out and dried myself with a towel. I slipped on my tank and shorts, unfortunately my sweats were in the wash. I stepped out the bathroom, I had to walk past Edward's door to get to mine.
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
Damn Edward and his songs. They always reflected his mood, so why wasn't he okay? He asked for this not me. I didn't go to him, he come to me. So why? Why was he so mad? Was he mad at me or himself? I stood still for about 1 minute before another song started. I speculated whether out not he wanted me to hear these songs.
Darling don't get so worked up
And everything will be just fine
Darling don't get so hung up
You know you'll never change my mind
What can I say?
What can I do?
Your still in love
But I'm so over you
The things you say
The games you play
There's nothing there's nothing that can take it away
oh oh oho
If he was over me then why did he come to me? Maybe he just wanted to test me, see if I wanted him. I guessed I had passed his test. I sat down on the sofa, picked up the remote and pressed play.
Half and hour later Edward walked out his room,
"Scoot over Bells!" He ordered as I moved my feet for him to sit down, there was another sofa. Why did he want this one?
"Edward…"
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"Well by the looks of things," he picked up the DVD case, "I'm watching Pirates of The Caribbean."
"I didn't mean literally u noob! I meant there's a free sofa over there. Why are you here?"
"Well, one the view over there isn't nearly as good as this one, two I always find that one uncomfortable and finally your here."
"Edward… what are we?"
"Just Friends."
"Just Friends? Is that all?"
"Fine. You are my best friend." He grinned his crooked grin.
"That's better!" I smiled but inside it killed me.
"Bells, do you have any whipped cream left?" he smiled and I blushed. I didn't know where the can was, never alone whether it had anything in it.
"I don't know where it is. We sort of lost it when we were… well you know." My cheeks turned bright red and I could feel them get hot.
"Oh." He laughed, "I see."
We sat and watched the film for a while but when it ended we just sat there and talked. I had my head on his lap and his was playing with my hair, while we asked each other random questions.
"What's your favourite colour?" he asked
"Green." I blurted it out without realising. I blushed. "You?"
"Brown." He answered as fast as I did
"What's your favourite book?" I asked him
"I don't have one really. What's yours?"
"Wuthering Heights. What's your favourite past time hobby?"
"I play the piano! You?"
"WHAT? You, Mr 'I don't talk to anyone, I'm too moody to have friends' plays the piano! No I'm serious what do you do?"
"Seriously! I play the piano. I'll show you sometime." He grinned
"Promise?"
"I promise. Now what do you do?" he grinned
"I write poems."
"Seriously? Well it's to be expected from Miss 'I don't shop, I don't dress up, I'm terribly boring'!" He laughed.
"I'm offended! Maybe one time I'll show you one but not yet. When I think it's ready to be read I'll show it to you." I yawned.
"Bells are you tired?" he smiled at me
"Nooooooooh." I yawned again and it gave me away, "Maybe a little." I laughed
"C'mon." He shoved me off his lap and pulled me up. "Get to bed."
"No, I'm having a better time talking to you. Maybe in a bit."
Truth was I was tired, really tired, but I didn't want to move. When I thought about moving, that meant leaving Edward and I didn't know if after tonight he'd talk to me again. I didn't want that. I liked Edward, he was fun, kind, well most the time, handsome, adorable, he was well everything.
"Bells what are you thinking?"
"Just about stuff."
The questions continued and I don't remember when I had fallen asleep or how I got into my bed, I guessed Edward had something to do with it. I mentally thanked him. I looked down at myself, I was in my pyjamas. I hadn't been when I fell asleep. That means Edward would have changed me. It didn't bother me though but why? He had seen me naked before so I didn't think he was doing it to be pervy. Then I thought, he was doing it to be friendly. That's what he wanted, to be friends.
I grabbed a pair of jeans and a white top that had a tie on it. I exited my room and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I took one step into the kitchen and was greeted with a delicious smell. Waffles. Mmmm they smelt so nice! I walked in and there stood Edward making waffles.
"Heyya Bells. You want some waffles?" he asked as I entered
"Sure. They smell delicious by the way." I smiled
"Thanks. It's my mums recipe." He said as he handed me a plate with a heap of waffles. I grabbed the honey and poured it on them, added some cream and sprinkles. He gave me the eyebrow,
"What?" I asked with an innocent smiled
"Nothing just that's a weird combo. Honey, cream and sprinkles with waffles."
"Well I like it." I stuck me tongue out at him like a little child. He sat opposite me; he poured on the honey, added the cream and topped it off with the sprinkles.
"I thought it was weird?" I asked with a smile
"Yeah well I wanted to try something new." He stuck his tongue out at me and then he took a bite.
"Mmmmm. This is so good!" he smiled at me
"I know right! My dad can never cook. He always tried to but they always ended up nasty. This however was he greatest and only success!" I took a bite. It tasted so much better than I remembered but of course it was probably Edward's waffles.
"What are you up to today Bells? Being boring as usual, I guess." He smiled as he said it.
"Actually I was just planning on staying in you know being boring but now you asked do you want to come to the fair?" I smiled sweetly and was glad when he said yes.
"I'm gonna go get ready then Bells. I'll see you in ten okay?"
"Sure. It opens at eleven so we have," I looked at my watch, "Twenty minutes so that's okay." He nodded and walked over to his room.
