Chapter 38
Six months later
"Edward answer the damn phone! Rose has tried to call me twice. My phone died the first time and the second time I dropped it and accidentally declined her call," I explain as I lug in the groceries as Edward's disconnected voice answers her call.
"Nah, she's bringing the groceries in. She'll be right here. How are things?"
I could see Edward's head nod as he listens to whatever Rose is saying to him. His face is relaxed and he looks rested. "Rose that sounds awesome! I'm so excited for you!" I couldn't help but grin. I loved that my best friend in the world got along with my boyfriend.
Edward and I are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. I haven't accompanied him to any functions yet, no red carpet or premiers, but to be honest he's been laying around my house like a hobo for the last six months. When he said he had no projects in the works, he wasn't lying.
I can't lie, though. I love it. He reads, he watches movies and he's become my little houseboy. If my dry cleaning needs to be dropped off, he does it. He shops for the groceries and we've even started cooking together every night. Edward seems completely content being here but I worry that one day the novelty will wear off and he'll be ready to head off to his glamorous life again. I've opened my mind to the fact that if he does, he does; I can't stop him and I won't beg. There are no guarantees in life or love so that makes Edward just like every other man on the planet that I'd take my chances with. To me, his payout is so much better than anyone else I could think of and not just because of his name but because of who he is.
I look up when Edward shifts the handset my way.
"Hey, Rosie Posie, how goes the road?" I ask.
I hear Edward pop open a beer for me just before places the cold bottle in my hand.
"Bells, OH MY GOD! I got a recording contract!"
