Disclaimer: Guess what? I have really big news that should be posted on a billboard in Las Vegas: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
A/N: here is the next chapter. I am dreadfully sorry that it took soo long! Blame Elyse not Jessica! I wasn't really in the writing mood lately. I've been tired! I have to go berry picking from 8:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon! But, yes here is the next chapter.
Breakfast!
The four of us (Phil had come home and we decided that he should come too.) climbed into Edward's silver Volvo that was waiting outside: Phil and my mom in the back while Edward and I sat in the front. With Edward driving of course.
"So… where do you guys want to go to eat?" Edward asked.
"Um… I don't know. Mom do you have any suggestions?" I asked.
"Well, there is this little café on Baker Street. We could go there." She said.
"Ok." Edward replied. He automatically found his way towards the café on Baker Street.
We all got out of the car, Edward there to open both my door, and my moms. She looked at him in shock that he got there so fast. As I looked at him more closely, I noticed that he was shining.
"Edward lets go inside… your sparkling." I told him. My mom got out and he shut the door. As he started walking we all heard a huge crash.
We looked over to where the noise came from and Edward ran to get the man out of the truck.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Your skin… it shines!" the driver told him.
'No sir, I think that you were imagining things. Come on let's get you out of here." He gently pulled the man out of the truck and waved for me to come over.
I ran over there, barely tripping once and was followed by Renee and Phil. "Call Carlisle" he ordered. I called the number and explained to Carlisle what happened. He came automatically and checked on the man and suggested that he use Aspirin. Then Carlisle left us to have our belated breakfast.
We walked into the café and learned that they were now serving lunch instead of breakfast. Edward looked annoyed at this and started to talk (in his most alluring voice) to the lady behind the counter.
"What's he doing?" asked my mom
"Making it possible for us to eat breakfast." I answered for her.
"How?" she asked once again.
"Is he going to eat with us?" Phil asked also. We had filled him in on the car ride here.
"To answer your question" I pointed at my mom "Edward can… dazzle people when he wishes. And no, Edward will not be eating, however he will be at the table with us." I explained. It felt kind of weird having my parents know everything about Edward.
Edward finally made the lady agree to let us have a late breakfast. She led us to a booth that would fit us perfectly by a window.
EPOV!
When we finally got into the café, I read the lady behind the counter's mind to see if they were still serving breakfast seeing how it was 11:00 o' clock.
God! That guy is really hot! I wonder if he's dating somebody. Oh… guess he is, but maybe if I unleash my 'special power' he probably wont be able to keep his sexy paws off of me. I feel really bad for that girl. He'll probably dump her later today.
I blocked out her thoughts since they were really bugging me. I walked over to her.
"Are you still serving breakfast?" I asked in my 'cheating' as Bella would call it voice.
"No sorry Hun, we're not." She told me.
"Well," I said, leaning in slightly. "Could you make an exception for us?"
"No." she said snottily. "I can't." Gosh! She sounds like Rosalie. Well not exactly like Rosalie, she doesn't seem as pig headed. But boy, if she was a vampire, a monster like we were, she'd probably be 10 thousand times worse than Rose.
Playing hard to get always works. She thought.
"Oh. Well ok. I guess we could go find somewhere else to eat that still is serving breakfast. Thanks anyway." I turned around and felt her grab my shoulder to turn me around.
I'm touching him I'm touching him! I can't believe I'm touching him!
"Yes?" I asked
"I guess I could let you guys have a late breakfast." She grabbed some menus from a different pile and led us to our table by the window. She gave us our menus and left.
Great Anna! Nice way to play hard to get! Well at least I got to touch him and I still have that date with Travis tonight."
"Well" I muttered as I was sitting down next to my beautiful Bella. "Travis really gets around"
"What?" Bella asked.
"Nothing." I told her.
We all picked up a menu, except for me of course.
Then a man appeared. I guess that he was our server.
"Can I get you anything to drink?" He specifically asked Bella. I hate him. I hate his guts, his spleen, his liver and all of his other internal organs!
Ok. You are a big, good looking strong man. How could she resist you? Wait! What's that guy doing? Well, she is really hot.
"Um… I'll have apple juice," Bella answered, not noticing the way that the waiter was looking at her. That made him stop… for right now at least. I put my arm around Bella's waist.
He looked at Phil and Renee who both ordered orange juice and then at me. "I'm not really hungry right now. Thanks" I said.
"Alright Dude. Whatever floats your boat." The waiter said.
What an idiot! First he comes here, requesting that he could have a late breakfast and he doesn't even order anything. He makes me so mad!
I would have continued to listen to his thoughts, but Renee interrupted me.
"Edward, what's wrong? You seem tense." She asked.
"I can read people's thoughts and his weren't making me very happy." I said.
"GAA!" Phil said.
"The first thing I thought when he told me that was: I feel so violated. But, I don't. You get used to it." Bella said. I looked over at her because I knew that she was lying. I can't even read their thoughts.
"Do you hear everyone's thoughts?" my mother asked.
"HA! He wishes!" Bella said jokingly.
"What?" Phil asked.
"I can hear everyone's thoughts… except for Bella's. I don't listen to them all the time, it's like a hallway and everybody is talking at once. Except for Bella. Which is strange because she normally talks all the time." I told them
"Thanks!" Bella said sarcastically.
"Any day." I said as I kissed her cheek.
"So, you can read everybody's except Bella's. So does anyone else in your family have… powers?" Renee asked
"Yah. Mainly Alice, Jasper and myself, but we all bring our biggest traits from when we were human to our new lives as vampires."
They looked confused.
"For example," Bella said cutting in. "When Edward was a human, he could guess what they were thinking easily. And Emmett was probably strong when he was a human."
They still didn't get it.
"Ok. Carlisle is compassionate, that's why he is able to be a doctor. Esme is loving, I can read peoples thoughts, Emmett is super strong, Rosalie is really pigheaded, Alice can see the future and Jasper can control people's emotions."
"Oh. What does your family look like? I've met Dr. Cullen and you obviously, but what about the rest of you?" My mom asked. Whoa! She is my mom. My mother-in-law, but she's still my mom. She just doesn't know it yet.
"Oh, well, they are in town too, but I have some pictures of them if you want to see." I told them.
I was getting out my wallet when the waiter came back with our drinks. He gave us all our drinks.
"Are you guys ready to order?" asked the waiter.
"Um... I'll have the pancakes." Bella said
"Yah, Pancakes are good." Phil said.
"Sure, I guess I'll have some pancakes too." I threw in
"Um, could I have an omelet please?" Renee asked.
"Sure." The waiter said. He turned around and left.
I gave Renee my wallet (that was loaded with cash) and showed her the pictures.
"There is Rosalie and Emmett." The two of them were under a big green leaf maple tree. Emmett was holding Rosalie in the lover's leap sort of way, or in a way that a groom would hold a bride when they were going into a hotel room.
"There is Alice and Jasper." Bella said, now looking at the picture of the two of them, sitting on swings in a playground holding hands and looking at each other in the eye.
"Carlisle and Esme." I said, showing them the picture of my parents who were walking hand in hand on a path at the park smiling at Alice and Emmett who were playing tag out of view of the camera.
Renee and Phil turned the page again to see Bella and me. We were sitting in a garden with our legs out. Bella was sitting in front of me, and I had my arms wrapped around her waist. She was smiling lovingly towards the camera while I was smiling at her. She was so beautiful, who cared about the camera?
"Awe" Renee said.
Phil put his head up and looked me in the eyes. "You'll have to give us a copy of that one." I nodded.
Then they looked at the last picture and laughed. It was a close up picture of Bella, playing a two inch purple harmonica, with her eyes crossed and her hair up in a ponytail with pieces hanging out. It was one of my favorites of her, that's why I kept with me everywhere I went.
"YOU KEPT THAT!" Bella yelled. "I TOLD YOU TO GET RID OF IT!"
"Goodness Bella, calm down." Renee said. "It's cute. Make sure to get us a copy of this one too."
"Sure." I laughed.
Then her face became serious.
"When will you two be getting married?" she asked.
I looked over at Bella. "We have no clue. Probably sometime after we graduate." She said. Renee opened her mouth to say something more, but then the waiter came back with our food.
But that's how the morning went, each of us telling stories and laughing and enjoying each other's company.
A/N: So, did you like it? Was it worth the verrrrrrrrry long wait? I'm still really sorry that it took sooooo long to write! Review? Do you still love me enough to? Please? I'm begging you!
