I was so lost, I gave up on trying to comprehend what Edward was saying.
He was talking on his cell phone so fast I couldn't make out what he was saying,
or even who he was talking to.
I started to walk around trying to find something to do.
I was about seven feet away from Edward when he pulled me back so hard that I lost my balance and flew backwards.
I was expecting to feel a crash or something, there wasn't, a pair of strong arms wrapped
around me and pull me up.
Edward hung up his phone and shook his head back and forth at me.
"Honestly Bells, What am I going to do with you?"
I shook with joy at him repeating the nickname he gave me when we were little.
He pulled me back on his back before I could protest.
"Hold On tight" He said.
If he could use my nickname, then I could use his nickname.
"Okay spider monkey" I said holding back a giggle.
He grunted and then started back towards the green covered forest we were in,
I felt content. I could die now with a smile on my face.
When I could start to feel my breakfast come up I closed my eyes and nuzzled
my head closer into his neck.
As I lay contently, he kept running. He wasn't kidding when he said running was like a second nature.
When he slowed to an alarming stop, he pulled his arms back and took me off his back.
I had my eyes closed and I slowly opened them to find myself in my room.
"Eddy, what are we doing here?" I asked.
He grunted at my use of the name Emmett uses when he wants something.
Needless to say, Emmett never gets what he wants with Edward. I Wonder why?
"Get your stuff we're leaving," He said it so plainly it was like he's said it a million times.
"Okay... Why?" I asked while getting some of my clothes and pulling then into a bag.
"I'll explain later. Don't worry about Renee she knows your not coming back.
Alice told her we were going on an unexpected vacation. She was mad, but
she'll get over it."
I started to feel guilty for leaving Renee. She had no one to watch over her besides me. What if she burns the house down?
Oh God. This was not good.
Edward was starting to get impatient with me, so he grabbed a handful of
clothes and put them into a different bag.
Once we got most of the necessities from my room and the one bathroom he
tossed the bags over his shoulder and threw them into his Volvo that had just
appeared into my drive way.
I was never going to get used to the whole vampire thing.
Edward opened the door to his shiny silver Volvo and swiftly slid into the
drivers' side before I could even touch my seatbelt.
I looked at the speed-o-meter and he was driving a little over 85.
"Edward do you mind driving a little slower? Where are we going anyway, and don't you dare tell me that you'll explain later because I want an explanation now!"
I heard a chuckle escape his lips, and then I got mad.
"Don't laugh at me I want to know!"
"Bells, I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at your determination.
No I can not drive a little slower and we're going somewhere you'll be safe."
You've got to be kidding me. There is no way I wouldn't be safe in the neighborhood I lived in. It was probably the safest in all of Phoenix.
Nothing bad ever happened. And I mean EVER.
We were driving for a long time so I started listening to my IPod.
I was currently listening to the songs Edward composed for me as a kid.
Even then he was a musical genius. The only thing that I was that good at was being clumsy.
I wasn't as bored as I would be with Charlie but Edward didn't seem like he
wanted to talk. It was like he was nervous, or avoiding me even though he was
the one that brought me with him. Nothing made sense with Edward. Once I gave
up trying to crack the code that is Edward, I just melted into the wonderful
music that was Edward. I swear I could just listen to this and I was blissfully happy.
"Edward are we almost there yet?" I asked about 4 hours into the ride.
"Almost love, just be patient."
"I know but I lost patience about an hour and 15 minutes ago when we passed
my favorite restaurant. I'm starving."
"Oh my god I forgot you need to eat I'm sorry, where do you want to go
love?" thank you I have been craving food for about the last 3 hours.
"I don't care I'll go anywhere I'm so hungry."
I told him not wanting to make feel guilty (sarcasm intended)
He drove faster and pulled up into the parking lot of Macaroni Grill.
When we walked in we saw a woman that was about maybe 18, a year or so older than me. She was concentrating on the piece of paper that she was
scrutinizing, she didn't notice us come in.
"Excuse me." Edward said with all of the smoothness and sexiness in the world.
"Table for 2 please." Oh God how I loved his voice.
"Sorry, were all full..." She started but then she pulled her head up and noticed Edward.
"Right this way"
This was so insulting. She led us to our table just staring at Edward not
even acknowledging the fact that I could very well be his date, or even his
wife for all she knew and she was totally flirting with him and the thing that
bugged me the most was that Edward didn't even seem fazed by her.
He probably had a million of girls like that hanging off him every day.
I started to feel something in the pit of my stomach but I ignored it.
When we sat down that girl was still there and I politely told her to leave.
"Okay you can go now, he's not an art piece at a museum we all know he's hot you don't have to stare."
She looked really taken aback and stared at me as if she hadn't realized I
was here until just then.
She got a little color to her face and then she left with a little wink towards Edward.
That didn't faze him either. In fact I don't think he even noticed.
At that moment I realized that the feeling in the pit of my stomach was jealousy,
and I really didn't know why.
"So I'm hot am I?" He had a smug look on his face.
"Oh come on, how have you not noticed your like a Greek God."
I guess he seemed pleased with my response because he still had that smug
smile on his face while looking at the menu. Which I knew was just a facade becuase he would just order somthing small then give it to me.
