The hours seemed to drag out more than normal but when lunch time finally arrived I could barely contain my excitement as I watched my colleagues filter out of the room.
In fact, I was so preoccupied waiting for them to leave, that I didn't notice Edward until he was right besides my desk.
"Hey," he said sending me that shy secret smile that was fast becoming my favourite. "Ready for lunch?"
I nodded back and placed my hand in his outstretched one. At first I felt a little self conscious as he led me out of the office towards the cafeteria. Except when we bypassed the cafeteria I turned to Edward questioningly.
"Where are we going?" I asked intrigued.
"I don't want to share you today, so I thought we could go somewhere else. Is that okay?"
"Of course, lead the way," I said smiling back.
It didn't take us long to find a cute little coffee shop where we picked up a bite to eat. Edward insisted on paying which was completely unnecessary, but appreciated none the less.
"Thank you for the flowers," I said when we had finished eating our food.
"You're welcome," Edward replied, sneaking a quick peck on my cheek.
"I meant what I said in the note Bella. Those flowers that Angela received all those weeks ago they were meant for you," He said seriously.
"But why? You never even spoke to me. You couldn't even look at me! I don't understand why you would do that?" I wondered.
"Do you remember that week?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, how could I forget? All week Jessica had been an even bigger bitch than normal," I joked, but just thinking about it made me shudder.
"I thought as much," Edward replied, gently squeezing our intertwined fingers.
"I knew you'd had a tough week so I wanted to cheer you up," he explained as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
At that point I couldn't control myself any longer and I did what I had been wanting to do for approaching an hour now; I jumped him.
AN: Sorry for the delay. We will be back to our regular 'drabble' chapters soon but in the meantime I hope you liked this chapter:)
