We walked hand in hand to my car where we deposited the groceries in the trunk. He held up the keys for me to grab but I shook my head and skipped over to the passenger seat.
He walked over to the drivers side with a smile on his flawless face and lowered himself into the car. I shifted myself to face him as he put the keys into the ignition and started the engine and pressed down on the gas pedal.
"So where are these homeless people we're giving the excess food to?" he asked after we left the parking lot.
"I think that they're down by the Sol Duc River." I answered not taking my eyes off of him. He seemed to find my statement amusing for his shoulders shook with suppressed laughter.
"Okay, mister, what's so funny?" I asked in mock irritation.
"I live by the Sol Duc, there are hobos by my house." he told me in a strangled voice before giving into his laughter which I joined in after a few seconds of watching him laugh..
We sobered after laughing for about 2 minutes straight. We sat for a few seconds in a comfortable silence just watching the trees flash by but my cell phone rang and interrupted the silence.
"Sweat baby, Sweat baby, sex is a Texas drought" rang through the air and I slid my phone open quickly as Edward rose his eyebrow at my ring-tone but said nothing.
"Hello?" I greeted the unknown caller.
"Hey Iz, I'm sorry to call but I have no idea where you live." Alice's sweet voice sounded from my phone.
"Oh, hey Alice, it's not a problem. Do you have a pen and paper?" I asked her. I relayed the directions to my house.
"Thanks Izzy, I'll see you in about 2 hours." she chirped.
"Your welcome Al, you can call whenever I don't mind at all. Bye-bye." I told her happily.
"Bye Isabella." she said and hung up. Isabella? I did not tell her my name, did I? Freaky.
"How did she know your name?" Edward asked worriedly glancing at me.
"I have no idea, I haven't gone by that name in centuries." I told him shaking my head.
"Oh yeah, nice ring-tone. Bloodhound Gang am I correct?" he asked trying to relieve the tension in the air.
"Yes, it was The Bad Touch. Good song huh?" I said glad to have a new subject.
"It is, slightly disturbing, but still good." he answered smirking a bit. I pulled out my phone again and asked Edward for the pizza place's number.
"It's 342-6657." he said and I typed in the number once he finished. The phone rang once before the sound of a young boys' voice greeted and thanked me for calling in a bored voice and then asked how he could help.
"Hello I would like to order 2 extra-large cheese's and 2 extra-large pepperoni's." I told the pizza boy carefully so he wouldn't screw up the order.
"Would you care to order a 2-liter bottle of your choice soda?" he asked in the same monotone.
"No thank you, but I do have a request." I told the child.
"And what would that be miss?" I could practically hear his eyes rolling and I almost huffed at his rudeness.
"I was wondering if you could have the pizzas delivered around 5:30, I need them hot." I said sweetly.
"Yes, we can do that, now can you tell me the address so your pizza can be delivered." he sighed and I gave him the address carefully so he wouldn't have an excuse as to not knowing where to send the pizza's
"Alright, goodbye and thank you." I told him with kindness he didn't deserve.
"No, thank you, call again soon." he said sarcastically. I closed the phone with audible snap and huffed with my arms crossed.
"I have never been so offended." I cried.
"What was wrong with him?" Edward asked incredulously.
"I don't know! He was having a bad day probably and decided to take it out on the callers." I concluded.
"We're here." Edward announced stopping the car and turning it off. I looked in awe at his house which was beautiful to say the least.
I was two stories, with a wrap-around porch and a large oak door with a brass knocker. The house, more like manor, was white and looked to be from the Victorian era with it's grandeur feel and ageless features.
We stepped out of the car and walked to the trunk where we would sort out the food we would donate to the hobos. We spent around twenty minutes deciding what we would keep and what would be gotten rid of.
When we were done we walked into the woods surrounding the Cullen house. Since he sucked at tracking I had to lead us to the homeless people by smelling them out.
Once we spotted them we slowed down from our previous sprinting and started walking human pace. We carefully approached the dirty, malnourished group sp as not to startle them. I cleared my throat to get their attention and once I had it I began to speak.
"Hey there, you definitely don't know us, but we are here to help you out. In these bags are clothes, food, and toys for the little ones. We really wanted to help out any way we can and right now this is what we can do." I told them and they stared at us as if we had just told them world hunger had been solved.
"They must be angels." a small woman whispered staring at Edward and I with her mouth hanging open.
"No, we just really want to help you." Edward told them kindly. I picked up all the bags with the food and gave them to two men that seemed to be the leaders then walked back to Edward.
"Where are the clothes and toys?" he whispered so that only I could hear while the adults cried over the amounts of food there was.
"Don't worry, I got this." I assured him as a man pulled out a 2-foot loaf of bread and a wheel of cheese.
"If I could have some help we will give you the toys and clothes and then we will be on our way." I said in a louder voice so the humans could understand what I said.
The two men I gave the bags of food to came forward along with three women with hollow cheeks and stood in a row in front of Edward and I.
I walked into a thicket of trees leaving Edward and the others confused and wondering why I walked off.
I stopped once I reached an area large enough then I closed my eyes and pictured enough the top of the line toys and clothes in large, black garbage bags to give the homeless.
I called for Edward and the five men and women that elected to help after I had tied the last of the bags off and had them secure against a large oak tree.
They stepped into the small clearing wearily with Edward guiding them. They took in the sight of the 10 black bags and beamed at Edward then me with shining eyes.
I picked up 3 bags which were the largest and heaviest(to humans, they felt like feathers to me) and slung them over my shoulders. The humans each grabbed one bag and Edward grabbed the remaining two and we walked back to the others.
We heard cheers as we arrived and soon we were being surrounded by a couple dozen homeless people.
I set down the three bags I had and Edward and the other five followed suit. I opened my three bags and motioned with my hand for the others to copy. I left where I had been standing and stood by Edward who wrapped his arms around my torso.
I leaned into his arms and laid my head against his rock hard bicep and he kissed the top of my head lightly.
"I have a few more things to give you all," I began, "first is this, a spray that is like a shower but without actually taking one." I handed the closest person 3 large bottles of my own invention.
"Secondly, is something I want you all to use wisely." I pulled out a thick wad of one-hundred dollar bills and handed it to the same person I gave the spray to.
"Well we must be going, there is probably around seven-hundred fifty thousand dollars in that stack and that should be enough, so goodbye." I told them and Edward and I turned and started to leave.
"Wait," someone cried and we turned to face whoever called, "who are you?" the woman who called us angels asked.
"My name is Edward and this is Izzy." Edward answered guiding us back into the mass of trees.
As soon as we were far enough we ran back to my car so fast a human wouldn't see anything but a blur.
We reached my car and I jumped in the passenger seat automatically and Edward smoothly slid in the driver's spot. He started the car and sped off back to my house where I would spend the next hour preparing for my special guests.

Hope that was enjoyable. FYI, the ring-tone was The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang. It's really good but really weird, just like me. Anyway, review and tell me what you thought, somebody give me a flame, even if it's for a really dumb reason, I want to get one. TTFN, ta ta for now!
