(a/n- Wee! I'm so hyper thanks to my breakfast of uber-huge tubes of blue pixie stick powder and dr. pepper. I don't know why but "Disconnect the Dots" Panic! At the Disco and "Demolition Lovers" My Chemical Romance remind me of Edward whenever I listen to them. It's weird, but alas they help me write so hurrah! Onto Chapter Quatre!)
"Hm, I wonder why...seeing as I dazzle you frequently." He said playfully, but also half-heartedly.
Chuckling Bella said, "Let's see if she still isn't when she comes back."
Adriana came back with the two cokes, "Here you are."
"Thank you." Edward replied, flashing another wide grin.
She was a little confused by Edward's smiles. Turning to Bella, "I'll go and check on your food," heading off to the kitchen doors she mumbled, "and give that Seth a piece of my mind..."
In the kitchen a voice said to Adriana, "Ooh, Adriana you're so lucky...Last time that guy came I served him." The voice was Amber, "Oh...I remember it like it was yesterday! His topaz eyes, his brilliant smile, and his handsomely sculpted body. Although, I don't know what he's thinking still being with that girl." Amber was then interrupted, "Hey Adriana, your burger for Table 17 is ready." The cook said. She brought the burger to Bella, "Is there anything else I can get you?"
"Nope, we're fine for now." Bella replied. After the waitress left, "Still not fazed by you!" Bella exclaimed.
"Hm..I guess she's something else..." Edward thought for a minute, "Anyways eat up!"
Bella ate and finished both the cokes. When Adriana was on her way back to the kitchen, "Excuse me Miss." Edward called.
Adriana replied, "Yes?"
"We're ready for the check."
"Okay, I'll get that for you in a second."
A couple minutes later Adriana came and gave them the check. Edward left the money on the table, "Ready to go?" He said.
Bella pulled on her jacket and she and Edward made their way to his car.
During the ride home, they listened to music and talked about the books Bella had bought. It only took a little while to get to Edward's house, thanks to his insane driving speed, and then they got into Bella's truck. After getting to Bella's house, "It doesn't look like Charlie's home yet. You going to come in for a while." She asked.
Edward was looking into the woods, "I promised Emmett that I would go hunting with him when we got back." He went to Bella and kissed her. "I promise I'll see you soon though." He flashed her a smile, then opened the door. Bella walked into the house; then turned around to say goodbye to Edward, but he was no longer there. Shaking herself out of the dream-like state his kisses always put her in, she went up to her room, and got ready to take a shower and for bed. She had gotten out of the shower, and in her pajamas, when Charlie got home. "Bells?" He called.
"Yeah Dad?"
He came up the stairs and poked his head in her room, "Did you have a good time?"
"Yup, I got a couple new books." She motioned to her desk.
"That's good...well I can see you're ready to sleep, good night."
"Night, Dad."
Bella was tired, but was kept up by the thoughts of how Edward acted tonight. Eventually she fell asleep.
The next day she saw that it was a brilliant sunny day, which meant she would most likely not see Edward today. She went downstairs and got some breakfast.
"Hey Bella." Charlie was at the table finishing up an egg and some toast.
"Hi Dad." She went over to the cupboard, and got a bowl and a box of cereal.
"What are you up to today?"
"Nothing, unless Jessica or someone calls, I'm going to stay home and start one of my new books."
"Oh okay, I'll see you when I get home from work then." Then Charlie left.
Bella finished her cereal; after doing the dishes, she went up to her room and opened her window. "Hmm.. Which book should I read first?" She said walking over to her desk, "Running With Scissors... Alice recommended that to me." Bella picked up the book, went over to sit on her bed, and started to read it. When Charlie got home, Bella was a few chapters past halfway done with the book. "Hey Bella I'm home!"
"Oh, hey Dad." She called, while putting a bookmark in the page and heading downstairs.
"What would you like for dinner Dad?"
"Let's see.. how about some pasta?"
"Sure, I'll go get the water boiling."
While the water boiled Bella and Charlie sat and watched a little television. After everything was cooked, they sat down and ate.
(a/n- Yay, that was like twice as long as they usually are...)
