Chap. 2 Blushing

The ride to Seattle was extremely embarrassing on my part. For Edward however, it was quite amusing. He kept on talking on how mike, Eric and Tyler were all practically in love with me. When he said what they were thinking though, his face would become serious, and his light creamy caramel eyes would go suddenly dark. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, I felt it was time to lighten the mood.

"What are we doing today besides going to the bookstore?" I asked hoping this would change the subject to something more bearable for me than my admirers. And I was just curious to see if he was planning a secret surprise.

"Well," he started, "I'm thinking on buying a new car. This one runs great and all, but it feels like it's time for a change. He said all of this while rubbing and patting the dashboard affectionately. I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"What?" he asked truly confused.

"Look at where you hand is, what are you doing?" He looked down at his hand on the dashboard and pulled it down quickly. I knew that part of him, deep down inside, was blushing.

When we opened the door to the bookstore my eyes widened in amazement. It was stocked like Edwards CD's but a hundred times better.

"Do you like it?" Edward asked taking my hand. I couldn't speak. I was still in awe. I tried to open my mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

"I'll take that as a yes." he said, gently pressing his lips to mine. With the awe of the bookstore, him kissing me, and my forgetting to breath, I feinted. But being the superhero that he was, he was there to catch me in time.

"Thanks Superman" I said sarcastically.

"Any day Lois." He replied with a smug look on his face. Of course, that made me blush even more.

I got some amazing books while I was at the bookstore. I got this book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer that looked promising. A new copy of Pride and Prejudice because my copy was getting old, a Star Wars book because everybody has to have at least 1 Sci-Fi book and a few others that looked really good. Though Edward didn't seem to believe me about everyone needing a Sci-Fi book.

We were now in his Volvo, going to the car dealership so he could have his "fun".
We pulled up to a car dealership that had all the latest cars. We walked in and Edward grabbed a salesperson and walked to a dark blue Ferrari. After reducing the price down 75, he reached for his wallet and paid the man in CASH! Both the man and I were gawking at him when he did this.

"My dad is a successful doctor." He said simply and then shrugged it off. He signed the paperwork that was given to him, and he told them that he would be back later that night to pick the car up. We walked out of the dealership with me blushing when Edward grabbed my hand, because some very beautiful female car models were flirting with him. That's when I knew that my theory about blushing was true.

The ride home was like the ride there. Except for now, Edward was talking about his new Ferrari. Since I still didn't speak Car and Driver, I just nodded at all the right times, and would occasionally say something. With Edward's crazy diving, we made it back in an hour and a half. Before I could unbuckle my seatbelt, he was there opening my door for me. We walked up, hand-in-hand to the door, where he reached under the eave, grabbed the key and unlocked the door. But the very second we stepped foot inside, I knew something would go wrong.
