"See you later." he whispered as he kissed my cheek and climbed out my window.
The school day was the same as it always was. It would have been boring if Edward and Alice had not been there. I started to walk in the direction of the cafeteria building. Edward came up behind me and put his arm around my waist.
"This way Bella." he said as he guided me in the direction of the Volvo.
"Where are we going?"
"To lunch."
"In your car?" I asked suprised. Edward loved his car he would never let anyone eat in it. Well maybe me.
"No silly. We're having a picnic." Alice said as she came up to us and butted between me and Edward. Edward tried to smack her on the head but she dogded it casually and stuck her tongue out at him.
"So how was your weekend?" Edward asked me as we reached the Volvo and he still tried to hit Alice.
"What do you mean?" I asked him confused. His question had caught me off guard, and the weirdest thing was that I couldn't remember anything from this weekend. Alice stopped and turned to me. Forgetting about Edward's swinging arm, distracted by my question.
"What did you do, did you have fun, if you went anywhere, where you went if you did go anywhere. The basic." Alice said eyeing me funny then exchanging looks with Edward. Edward glared and made another swing at her, missing.
"Oh." I said. "I don't know... I guess it was... fine."
"Fine?" Alice said in a questioning voice. I looked at Edward he was holding back a smirk.
"Well that's nice." he said in a 'I told you so' tone. He seemed really happy about my answer. He was still in that mood as he opened my door for me. Everyone was in the cafeteria by now so I wasn't suprised when he was already in on the other side. "Put on your seatbelt." he reminded me as we pulled out of the parking lot.
I nodded and clicked the seatbelt secure. I noticed Edward get quiet and Alice talking in the backseat.
"Yes this is Esme Cullen." she said in a voice that sounded alot like Esme. "Would you please exscuse my son Edward and my daughter Alice from the rest of the day?" she paused. "Thank you dear...Oh you too. Bye." she clicked the phone shut and handed it up to Edward.
I opened my mouth to ask what was going on but his finger went to my lips,"Shh." he said gently. I closed my mouth.
When someone answered the phone he said."Hello this is Cheif Swan I need you to exscuse my daughter Bella from school for the rest of the day because her mom is going to be in Seattle tonight and we're going to meet her somewhere." he looked at my shocked expression. "Yes.. Uh huh... Yah that would be great... Thank you." he hung up the phone and passed it back to Alice.
"Renee's coming?" I asked. The last time my mom had come to Forks to visit me was... well never.
"No." Alice said in a voice that made me feel stupid. "You're kinda slow today Bella." she added.
Edward glared at her in the mirror. "No honey we're going on a picnic." he said as he turned back to me and tucked my hair behind my ear.
I noticed that we were at the Cullen's home and Edward was starting to get out. I moved to unbuckle my seatbelt but he beat me. He already had the door open and was doing it himself. He scooped me up in his strong arms and carried me towards the house. Alice was already inside. When we got into the house he set me down on the couch.
"Don't move I'll be right back." he said to me.
"K." I looked around. What were we doing. I thought I heard a clink of metal in the kitchen. I turned back around and Edward was sitting on the couch next to me.
"Ready?" he asked. He was holding a women's fall leather jacket and a blue quilt with green pin stripes running the length of it. He stood up and held out his hand for me. I put my hand in his. He lifted me up from the couch and put my arms thru the sleeves of the jacket. The jacket was not cheap from the fur that must have been real by the feel of it. He turned me so I was facing towards him. He leaned his head down and kissed me. My heart raced. He must have heard that because when he pulled away, all too soon, he smiled at me. His eyes were pure gold.
"What is this all about?" I asked him. Edward usually wouldn't let me skip school, or be all romantic.
"You'll see." was his response. Alice walked into the living room then with a picnic basket that I was assuming full of food. "Thanks." he said to her. "Let's go." he said turning back to me with sparkling eyes. My heart fluttered. He grinned and lead me towards the Volvo.
