That´s What Little Girls Are Made Of...
Chapter Sixty
EPOV
"Are you sure it´s not a problem, Ali?" I practically whined to my best friend's girl for what seemed like the hundredth time.
Come on...
Give me a reason...
All I need is an excuse...
An out…
Call me pathetic, but I was looking for any reason, legitimate or otherwise, to get in my car and head over to the airport.
Alice backing out on me would be exactly enough of an excuse to keep Bella from kicking my ass. Yeah, my girl had a mean streak; she threatened me with severe bodily harm if I even thought about ditching work, during finals, just to pick her up from the airport.
Turns out there weren´t any flights leaving out of Seattle last night, so we had to settle on first thing this morning. Summer storms were brewing on the west coast, effectively grounding everything.
After emailing and verbally confirming with my parents Isabella´s travel itinerary, I spent the rest of the night talking to my girl on the phone.
We usually Skyped until one of us fell asleep, but, Bella was sharing a hotel room with Carlisle and Esme since they all had to be at Sea-Tac at the ass-crack of dawn, thus causing us to forgo the computer and opt for talking over the phone instead.
Carlisle and Es had chartered a small jet to take them to Alaska, while Bella was flying commercially, albeit first-class, to Chicago. Bella and I both nearly pissed ourselves when Es yelled, "Bella, stop shoo-shooing on that damn phone and take your ass to bed! That means you too Edward Anthony!" Esme only used swear words when she was under a lot of stress, so it was funny as hell to hear her lay in to Bella and me that way. Out of respect, and a healthy dose of fear, we promptly ended the call.
"Edward, why the hell are you calling me?" Alice screeched, breaking my reverie, and damaging what tiny bit of hearing I had left. "Again!"
"Well," was my stellar response, "I know you´ve been busy lately, and I didn´t want to impose." I hurried on to say, "If it's too much of an inconvenience for you to go all the way to the airport, I could see if Jasper´s available to cover my classes for me?" My response came out as a question because I had no idea what the fuck I was talking about. I was basically pulling shit out of my ass at random.
Way to go Captain Lame-O! My brain snarked. Could you sound any lamer?
Actually, it was against university policy to allow TA´s to administer final exams, but, for Isabella, I was willing to take the risk.
What´s the worst they could do to me, give me a fine?
Pfft…
Dock my fucking check, I don´t give a good goddamn!
When it came to Isabella, I was a jealous, overprotective, crazed bastard.
And proud of it!
Ok... I would love to hear what you guys are thinking! Besides the fact that you want E&B to do the deed! Lol! Trust me, it'll be well worth the wait for all of us!
Hasta Luego...
