Word Prompt: Doughnut

"Hmmmm," I moaned as I rolled to my back and stretched with my hands over my head. Edward had taken the side of the bed away from the wall and was currently out cold. He was facing me and looked so adorable with his eyes shut and face half way smashed into my pillow. However, his position posed a problem for me because I had to somehow maneuver my way out of bed without disturbing him so I could get to the bathroom.

I took one look at my cast and then one look at him. I could try to go over him, but that risked hurting us both, or I could slide to the end of the bed and crawl out through the small space between the end of my bed and my cabinet thingy. Figuring that would be my best option I started to scoot down leaving the blankets on top of him as I moved. When my cast hit the floor, I looked back to make sure he had remained covered and unbothered, but my eyes were too focused on his boxers to think properly.

The words from last night were far from forgotten and if the thing that threatened to poke out of his boxers was any indication of his size I knew he would be right. How could you not feel that? He was obviously erect and if the button had come undone there was no telling if he'd actually stay inside those things.

After about two minutes I realized I was still staring at his crotch and started to wonder what he'd think if he actually woke up so I threw the blanket back over him and practically fell onto the floor with a thump. I looked up to see he hadn't stirred and managed to stand up without much effort.

By the time I got to the bathroom, I thought my bladder was going to explode but was thankful Edward had slept through the mess. I knew he had worn himself thin over the past week so I had no intentions of waking him up. I also noticed that Alice never ended up coming back and figured she slept at the ASP house. I momentarily wondered if that was awkward since Jasper had a roommate. I'd ask her later.

I peeked out to see Edward still in a dead sleep so I hobbled around grabbing some new clothes and my towel and hit the bathroom for an early morning shower. When I saw my phone light up I grabbed it and noticed a text from Alice asking me to text her when I was awake.

'I'm up, what's up?-Bella'

'Breakfast? Doughnuts?-Alice'

'Please, E is sleeping, fixin to take a shower.-Bella'

'Jasper is with me. See you in twenty.-Alice'

I put my phone down on the counter and reached for the cast bag I had hung up the day before. My phone went off a few seconds after I sat down to put it on.

'J wanted to know if E is decent?-Alice'

'Nothing happened, you're safe.-Bella'

'Damn, sucks to be you. LOL See you soon.-Alice'

Bitch, I cursed in my head. I was sure I'd hear about her latest romps with Jasper sooner or later. We hadn't talked much while I was in the hospital either, she visited a lot, but interruptions were constant. I knew the second I got the walking boot I'd be having a girl's night out or something. Maybe we'd do a nice dinner or something, but I needed some girl time desperately.

I stayed in the shower a little longer than normal because I got lost in my own thoughts. I obviously couldn't un-see what I had seen this morning so that was there, but so were Edward's words from the night before. The talk was awkward, but needed and I was glad that the air was officially cleared. I'd be having some words with Rosalie, but didn't plan on being too mean, she was my big after all. Yeah, I really had to be informed in a hospital that she was my big sister, but I also knew next week I'd be having a meeting with her and Stephanie to assess my hours for pledging.

Edward was pretty clear that he saw us being together and I was fine with that, but I also didn't know how that related to sex. Obviously, my previous experiences were nothing to write home about, but I also didn't know when it would happen with us and that made me nervous. Would I need an engagement ring? Hell, I didn't even have a lavalier yet, though something told me he would be fixing that soon enough. But, I didn't realize until after the fact that we never really talked about sex in terms of us. I was so shocked by his cocky attitude, though I guess it really was warranted because I wasn't sure that thing was going to fit, that the conversation ended right there.

When I turned the water off I realized none of it mattered right then. I obviously wasn't going to have sex with a huge cast on my leg and I knew it would still be off limits with the walking boot so I'd push it to the back of my mind for now and try to forget what I saw. My attempts were probably futile, but I tried.

It took a little maneuvering, but I managed to get a pair of leggings over my cast before I slipped on a comfy dress. I really was never a fan of dresses, but for the sake of my leg, jeans were going to have to wait at least a few more weeks. And, while I always needed my crutches out and about, the room was small enough that I could hobble around without constantly using them.

Once I exited the bathroom I realized Alice and Jasper were already there and Edward looked like he had just woken up. His clothes were back on, which made me pout a bit, but he half smiled when he saw me. Alice and Jasper had brought doughnuts and coffee and he seemed pleased with that.

"Morning," he muttered when I came to sit next to him on my bed after I grabbed a sprinkled doughnut.

"Good morning, Sunshine," I teased before leaning over to kiss him on the cheek. "I was trying to let you sleep."

"Thank you," he replied and yawned again. I was so happy we didn't have class today and I really hoped Edward used the break to nap or catch up on his homework or something.

"So, what's the plan for today?" Alice asked with entirely too much energy for Edward to handle.

"Al, he just woke up, and I have no clue," I replied for the both of us.

"Well, are you still going tonight?" she asked and I nodded my head. The Tri-Delta's house was having a party and there was no way I was missing it. I missed the house even though the stairs were gonna be a bitch for me to handle. It also helped that Edward had already planned on attending with me anyway since his house didn't have an event for the night, but they were doing a dinner the next night which I wasn't invited to. That would free up some time with Alice, and maybe even Rosalie and a few of the other sister's to hang out for a bit.

"Yeah, we're going, but it's still early Alice," I finally answered and he rolled her eyes. Jasper just looked on amused though Edward seemed to be waking up bit more.

"What are you wearing tonight?" she asked next and I shrugged.

"Probably shorts and a sorority tank, I don't have much clean right now. I need to do some laundry at some point this weekend." Alice nodded her head thoughtfully before her eyes lit up. "No, no shopping today. Absolutely not, I'm not up for a mall trip yet." She looked dejected for a second, but persisted.

"Target?" she suggested, and I shrugged. I did need a few things like razors and snacks since most of my stash was gone.

"I don't like you right now," I pointed out, but she didn't seem fazed by it. "We'll go in like an hour, but how are we getting there? I don't exactly have a car to drive."

"Jasper has offered his, so I'm driving," Alice explained and I nodded.

"I can just take you guys," Edward piped up, but Alice brushed him off. "What?"

"You aren't invited," she stated seriously and gave him a face that dared him to contradict him.

"I'm not invited to Target? You realize I can drive myself, right? You don't own the store, Alice," he deadpanned and I could tell he was still in a grumpy mood. I had wished they hadn't woken him up when they got there.

"Edward," Alice said in a warning voice before walking behind her curtain with Jasper.

"Come on," I nudged him and moved to lie down. I opened my arms up and he readily put his head on my chest and pulled the blanket over us. "Sorry they woke you up."

"It's okay," he replied before moving up so that his head was near mine. He had moved his closest hand to my hair and had brushed it off my forehead before giving me a small kiss on my cheek. Any morning breathe he may have had had been masked by the food.

"It's just a shopping trip," I whispered so Alice and Jasper couldn't hear me.

"I know," he answered, but I felt like there was more. I loved Edward, I loved cuddling, I loved our dates, but if we did absolutely everything together we would drive each other insane in the end. I also felt like a lot of it stemmed from my car accident so while I was going to cut him some slack, I also knew I would be the one who would hold a stronger boundary for now.

"I'm going to miss our slumber parties tonight," I commented and he nodded his head, and right there I knew he had come to the same conclusion I had.

"Yeah, I have a lot to get done tonight after I drop you off," he said absentmindedly and I didn't doubt him for a second.

"Well, your afternoon will be free for a few hours so I hope it helps," I mentioned and he didn't respond. I waited a few minutes before I decided to say anything else. "Edward," I whispered and when he looked up at me I knew I held his attention, "I love you and I know this past week had been hell. We both have things we need to catch up on, but I'm okay. I absolutely appreciate you revolving your life around me this past week, and I just want you to know that as life goes back to normal for both of us, nothing has changed. I'm still yours, you're still mine, but we can't let our individuals things suffer, okay? I know you're still in pledge hell right now and I have to figure out a way to get more hours done so I can get through initiation. Don't forget to be the guy I feel for, okay? I'll still be here even when you need a break."

Edward had held eye contact with me the entire time I spoke and I had made sure to talk quiet enough that only he could hear me. When he leaned up to kiss my forehead I knew right then that he had heard me.

"That is why I love you," he whispered back. We laid for a few minutes before deciding to put on a movie. And, when it came time for me to go to the store with Alice he didn't complain or whine. He offered Jasper a ride home with the promise that we'd see them later as we waved back.

"He's coming along," Alice commented once we left the parking lot.

"What do you mean?" I asked a little confused as I adjusted in my seat. Unlike Edward's spacious Volvo, Jasper's car was sportier and a lot more cramped with my cast.

"Bella, I know we didn't mention this while you were in the hospital, but Edward stayed up for three days solid right after the accident. He was living on a few cat naps and a lot of energy drinks just trying to get through the day, classes, fraternity stuff," she explained as I sat dumbfounded that I didn't realize this. I had known he had run himself thin and definitely wasn't sleeping enough, but no sleep and energy drinks? I realized his residency was going to be like that, but he didn't need to do that for me. Hell, I would have given him my bed and hung out in the chair in my room had I know that.

"Wow," I finally managed to get out and Alice didn't seem too surprised by my reaction. "That is just, wow."

"You'd do the same for him I think," she eventually noted and she had a point, I probably would have.

"Yeah, I would," I agreed.

However, Alice's information had me texting Emmett for the rest of the drive.
