BPOV
I spent the whole morning chatting with Emmett, Jasper and Alice while we were playing golf. I showed more enthusiasm than usual, but I wanted to prove it to everyone and myself that everything was just completely normal!
I avoided any kind of contact with Edward. I caught him staring at me a few times, but I decided to ignore that.
I knew I couldn't ignore him forever, but I was waiting for the right moment.
"I think you guys had a team outing at the same resort just before I joined, right Edward?" I asked him during lunch.
Yeah, I was going to take this very smoothly.
He made a fist, gritted his teeth, roamed his hand in his hair and exhaled, before replying, "Yeah... Yeah..."
"Oh, it must have been fun! This is really a perfect place for a team outing," I said.
"Yeah," he said.
"So was this before or after Tyler, Kate, etc. joined?" I asked.
"After," he said.
"I think Kate is really good at this, right?" I said, "She was telling me that she had also won some amateur Golf tournaments."
"Yes," he said.
"I guess I should take lessons from her," I chuckled.
"Sure," he said.
"I'm also considering taking some lessons," Emmett jumped into the conversation.
But anyway, I guess that was an ice breaker? I mean, I couldn't ignore him forever, so this seemed like a fine start point.
"What's wrong with you?" Alice asked suspiciously after lunch.
"Hmm?" I asked like an idiot.
"Why are you behaving so strangely today?" she asked, "Why have you been laughing and smiling so artificially and awkwardly?"
No, I was not!
"And why are you talking so much today?"
Damn Alice and her observation skills!
"What?" I asked.
"Did anything happen between Edward and you?" she asked.
"Hmm?" I asked like an idiot again.
"I thought so," she sighed.
How could she possibly know? Like, how?
"Let me tell you something. Whatever the hell you've been trying to do since today morning... I don't think it's really helping!" she said.
