Yay me! I lied! I had a great idea for this chapter after I made/ate dinner, so I decided to write it now and not make you all wait for 3 days. Yay me!!! (yay me is on my list of favorite things to say, along with my favorite word sexy...)

Chapter 8
"Fine. You can cook for me," she said as she kissed me on the lips before she walked back into her bathroom to put some clothes on.
I walked downstairs into her kitchen and began to look for some food.
This was going to be an interesting lunch.
Edward's POV
I looked in the cupboards in Bella's kitchen for some type of lunch food. I remembered how to make some things, but they were all simple, like a turkey sandwich. I wanted to show her that I could use a stove, oven, or some other type of human appliance.
I found a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. That should be good. I looked at the directions on the back. I didn't seem too hard...
I put some water in a pot and set the pot over the flames of the stove. It said to wait until the water was boiling to put the noodles in.
About 7 minutes later, the water was bubbling. I opened the box and poured the entire contents of it into the pot. A package fell into the water. It said "Cheese" on the side of it.
"Darn it!" I said out loud. I fished the packet of cheese out of the boiling water and set it down next to the stove.
Apparently I set it down to close to the stove, because soon the packet caught on fire.
"Shoot!" I said as I turned on the faucet and sprayed some water on the cheese packet.
I looked over and saw the water overflowing and the noodles spilling out of the bowl. I turned a knob on the stove and set the stove from "extra high heat" heat to "medium heat." The water stopped boiling over, but I had lost some macaroni noodles in the process.
A few minutes later I turned off the stove. It said to drain the water. I looked around for a strainer. I found one, and poured the noodles and water into it.
But I forgot to put the strainer in the sink. The water spilled everywhere.
Maybe I couldn't do everything...
I quickly wiped up the water. The directions now said to add the cheese. I grabbed the cheese packet. It was semi-intact. I poured the cheese into the strainer. Then the directions said to add milk and butter.
I poured the milk into the strainer. It spilled everywhere.
I cleaned up the milk and the transferred the noodles and cheese into the original pot. Then I poured milk into that and found some butter in the fridge. I put it into the pot too.
The next direction was to mix well. I didn't know what "well" was, so I mixed it for a couple minutes.
I heard Bella laughing. I looked over to see her at the bottom of the stairs.
"How long have you been there?" I asked her.
"About 15 minutes. Long enough to see you dump the cheese into the water, catch it on fire, overflow the boiling water, spill water and milk, and stir Mac 'n' Cheese for 3 minutes straight," she said, trying not to laugh.
Bella's POV
I tried not laugh as I told Edward how long I had been downstairs. When I finished talking and burst out laughing, he scowled at me.
"I haven't had to cook for 90 years! Just try it and tell me if it tastes good," he said as he brought the food to me and sat down in Charlie's chair.
I sat down and took a bite of the Mac 'n' cheese.
Of course, it was delicious. He noticed that I liked it, and said with a triumphant grin, "How is it?"
I glared at him. "I hate you..." I said under my breath. Of course, he heard me.
He chuckled. "Well that's too bad," he said as he stood up and walked over to me. He put his hands on my shoulders and kissed my neck, "because I love you..."
I stopped breathing. "Edward...stop...I have to...ohhhhhhh..." I said, not being able to finish my sentence. He had moved from kissing my neck to my cheek, and I turned around and met his lips with mine. I tried to deepen the kiss, but he pushed me away gently.
"We've had enough of that for one day," he said to me. I pouted, pretending to be very angry at him. He laughed.
"Hurry up and eat your lunch. I want to take you somewhere," he said.
"Where?" I asked him.
I made a motion like he was zipping his lips and then locking them closed. I rolled my eyes. He was so immature sometimes. He laughed.
"Hey! What happened to your lips being sealed?" I asked him. He looked at me with a serious expression, and then pressed his lips together again. He nodded as if to say "You're right, sorry. I forgot."
This time I laughed. He joined in, and then said "Hurry and eat! We don't have all day!"
I opened my mouth to say something about him opening his mouth again, but he just pointed to my food. I quickly ate it because I wanted to know where he was taking me. I finished it in less than a minute.
"For all the time and effort it took me to make your lunch, you finished it in a minute?!" he said, trying to sound angry.
"It was just so good!" I said in a teasing voice. "Besides, you told me to hurry up and eat. Now come on, I want to see where you're taking me!"
He nodded as he picked me up. "Put me down!" I yelled as I kicked and flailed my arms. I hated it when he did this.
"Never," he said. He carried me out to his car and sat me down in the passenger seat. Then he took out a black blindfold and tied it around my eyes.
"Hey!" I yelled. I tried to untie the blindfold, but it was in a very tight knot. He laughed.
"Nope. There's no way you're going to get that off until I untie it for you. And I'll only do that when we get to the surprise place," he said.
I sat back and crossed my arms across my chest. "Fine," I said in a stubborn voice. He chuckled.
I heard the car turn on and I felt him drive away from my house. 5 minutes later, he stopped the car.
"Ok, I'm going to have to carry you," he said. He picked me up and put me on his back.
"Wait, are you going to have to ru—ahhhhhhhh!" I yelled as he began running. I could only tell because I felt the wind on my face. After about 3 minutes he stopped (the wind stopped blowing on my face).
"Where are we?" I asked him.
"I'll show you," he said as I heard him walk behind me and begin to untie the black blindfold. He took it off and dropped it to the ground.
I gasped in amazement when I saw where we were.
10 points to anyone who can guess where they are! Lol...its pretty obvious actually but don't feel bad if you don't know where. You're probably like me, because I wouldn't have guessed it if I was reading this instead of writing it. Lol
So guess what...i had mac 'n' cheese for dinner tonight. Yay me. (thats why i wrote this chapter after dinner, i imagined edward making the mac 'n' cheese...) I didn't drop the cheese in the water, or set it on fire, or pour water and milk through a strainer on the counter though. But I almost made the water and noodles overflow because wasn't paying attention and I'm just cool like that...
Till later...
