Bella Swan/spontaneous combustion
"Um."
I'm stupefied.
Edward gives me the goofiest grin when I finally stand up.
Alice is cackling behind a stack of paperwork.
I hate her.
"I'm just kidding ... about lunch."
A snort from the solo peanut gallery.
"I hate all of you people," I grumble.
"Apparently, you don't hate me. In fact, you so want to do me." He preens.
I glare.
Judging from the wheezing going on behind me, I think my boss might be dying.
Serves her right.
"I really am kidding, Bella," Edward says all serious like.
As in his smile is gone but he's giving me a "do me right now" look.
I want to take him to the stockroom and do half of the things Alice tells me about.
My life sucks.
"Do you want to get something to eat with me?"
"What? Food? Food is good. Yeah, let's go get food."
