I want to know what you guys think anyways =) This chapter I liked writing.. I thought it was funny. But that could just be me lol. Well enjoy!
Chapter Fifteen
Edward tensed and was silent for a few minutes while Hermione ordered food for Teddy and herself. Hermione just sat there staring at him while Teddy sat holding his wolf.
"Of course I'm human," he finally said with a scoff.
"Oh please, if you're human then I'm a werewolf."
"Olf!" Teddy squealed.
"I've noticed things about you and your family Edward, and if you don't wish to discuss them then Teddy and I can leave. I'm sure I can find my truck from here."
"What do you mean you've noticed things?"
"Your eyes for one, they change colors sometimes based on your moods it seems. The fact that you're strong and so fast that you saved me from that van without a scratch to yourself. You and your family have never eaten lunch, and I haven't seen any of you go out into the sun."
Edward ran a hand through his hair, "You are a lot more observant than I had originally thought."
"Well it's not like you hide it very well. And also I went to La Push during the weekend and I heard an interesting legend, a legend about cold ones."
If possible, Edward seemed to tense further. "So what do you think?"
"Well you are neither confirming nor denying what has been said."
"And if I were to confirm it?"
"Then I would accept it."
"You aren't scared?"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "You haven't harmed us yet and you've gone to school in Forks for the past two years and nothing has happened. So obviously you don't seem to feed off of humans."
"Of course we don't!"
Hermione smiled, "That was the confession I was looking for!"
He leaned forward, "And yet you still don't seem scared."
"I am not scared, and if I didn't trust you then I wouldn't allow you around Teddy."
"You shouldn't trust me," he said with a frown.
"And yet I do, now hush, we will speak of this later." Hermione said just as the waitress arrived with the food. She attempted flirting with Edward but he brushed her off. Hermione had to stifle her laugh at that.
Once she finished eating she looked up at Edward, "So how did you find me?"
He looked uncomfortable, "I have grown increasingly worried for your wellbeing since I first met you. I feel protective of you, so I wanted to make sure that you would be fine in a new town. When I heard what those men were thinking, and I realized they had you cornered I tried to get to you as fast as possible."
"You heard what they were thinking? So you're a mind reader, that's pretty neat. What number am I thinking of?"
He chuckled, "You're taking this all very well, and it's shocking. But I cannot read your mind, I get nothing but static."
"Static like a radio station, I'm not on your frequency so maybe you should adjust your antenna."
He was laughing now, "It's not that simple unfortunately, but it is okay. It is nice not to be able to hear every thought that crosses your mind, relaxing one could say."
Then a thought struck Hermione, "Can you read Teddy?"
He concentrated for a moment, "He is very difficult to read, and since he is so young his thoughts aren't very organized anyways, but I can see that he loves you very much."
Hermione blushed and looked over at teddy, "Mummy loves you too Teddy." She says as she kisses his nose which makes him giggle.
Edward smiled, "So Rosalie told him his first name is actually Edward."
"Yes, but his parents announced that he would be called Teddy when he was born after his maternal grandfather."
He nodded, "It suits him."
Hermione nodded and then looked at the clock on the wall. It was a quarter after nine. "I think Teddy and I should be heading back to Forks now, if we're not home soon I'm sure Charlie will worry."
Edward paid the bill, much to Hermione's annoyance and then he drove her to her truck. "Would it be alright if I come to your house tomorrow and you could ride to school with me?"
Hermione blushed, "I suppose that it would be alright, I mean we are friends now."
"Yes we are." He agreed.
Once they arrived to her truck Hermione turned to face Edward. "Thank you for saving me from those men, it could have turned out a lot different if you weren't there, another reason why I know you are a good person. Have a great night Edward, I'll see you in the morning."
"Night!" Teddy squealed as he waved at Edward.
Hermione began to think of the events of that night as she drove home. She had felt so safe once Edward found her when she was circled by those men. She knew it wasn't exactly rational for her to feel this way so fast, but she knew that she liked Edward. And now, hopefully, she would be spending more time with his family and getting to know him a bit more, and then she would be able to figure out exactly how she was feeling.
Hermione sighed and looked up at the sky then at Teddy, who was falling asleep in his car seat, the full moon would be tomorrow night. Teddy would be a bit more rambunctious than normal on that day. She sighed and then looked to the road, she would have to prepare for what may happen when she and Edward show+ up at school together, and then think of a reason to miss school the day after that. She knew that tomorrow would be quite the eventful day.
