Chapter 38

Edward felt like death warmed over, he hated getting ill and it was rare when he catch a cold, but when it happens his life was miserable.

He had been sleeping for an hour may be, before he woke up with a congested nose and the shirt he is wearing sticking to his body.

Finally it seemed fever has come down and he was itching to take a shower and decided he would go and do that, the steam would probably help his blocked nose. It all started when he had started to get an itchy throat on Friday morning and at the time he didn't think much about it and had gone to school. Lately school had been quite pleasant, not.

Edward had found early on his life that girls found him attractive, some found their family wealth attractive, there were instance where some girl would find her mother is a famous designer and make a play for him, thinking he will be her stepping stone for acquiring a model job with the company. He found it repulsive and after some time he had given up finding a person that will be honest and kind. One may say his ambition looked quite naïve but he didn't want to give his heart to someone to play with and for them to take advantage of him. He might be young but what's wrong with wanting to wait for someone worth pursuing hmmm…..Except never mind.

He remembered one time he thought a girl was beautiful when he was around fourteen, it was while tagging along with his mother to help her for a campaign and the girl who was a model didn't even give him the time of day thinking he was a stock boy when he first showed his interest but it all changed once when she found out who he is, suddenly she was all over him.

And sometimes there were interns at his dad's and grandpa's office who would suddenly try to seduce him and he just turned eighteen few months ago while all those women were lot older than he is. Edward didn't like desperate females and comparing to all those older women the girls at his school were like cats in heat. When you have being pursued by all of these puma's and cougars they were the easiest annoyance while he got the needed education.

Edwards' latest annoyance reminded him of a kitten among all the haughty cats, she was quite amusing getting herself in to embarrassing situations and in a roundabout way dragging him down with her, Edward shook his head in amusement now that the event has passed but at the time he couldn't but help getting little bit angry and that first time she had sung that God awful song he had to agree he had been little bit harsh but in his opinion it was necessary to nip the bud at the start but fat lot of good it did him, it had all backfired on him.

He had been looking forward to breeze through school this final year but darn that Mason for making her his lab partner, now he found himself betting with her and prayed she will lose because he was too pretty to be someone's slave.

Edward had hopped he will be able to finish school with his perfect GPA and then go to pre-law and law college which will make it possible for him to step in to the family firm without women distracting him of achieving his goals. After being exposed to women that were not related to him Edward found most of the women catty and vain and his only hope was that someday he would be able to find someone kind like his mother as his life partner. If his dad was lucky may be he will find that one woman who will complement him and if she had some of his moms best qualities he would be set for life.

Was it too much to ask for? Most of the time he understood why others thought him to be very aloof and when it comes to women he had standard and so far none has been able to come close. So was he expected to lower the standard? He didn't like women who whined and who gossiped like hens or backstabbers. He wanted a person who can enjoy simple things in life and who would be kind to everyone, someone who will be there for him and support him, he didn't want his woman to be high maintenance, so that person don't need to be a great beauty, just a face he can wake up next to was enough. So what was the big hype hmmmm…

Giving his depressing thoughts an interval he stepped out of the shower. Finally something has worked and he could feel little light now that he could breathe little bit with ease. Edward dragged his hand down the fogged mirror and stared at his slightly red eyes and went on drying his hair. If he remembered correctly today was the day her parents friend and his daughter was coming and he was expected to show his face and what was her name once again…..Isa or Isabel, Isabella? After procrastinating for few minutes he decided to get over with meeting just another girl who will soon try to make his life hell what with his luck.

Edward was clad in a white towel and had another drying his hair when he opened the door of the bathroom which hit the wall with a bang making him cringed. He had his eyes closed so the loud girl shriek was enough to make his eyes pop out and he stared at the image of his nightmare.

May be the fever is back and he was hallucinating right?
