Thanks for all your reviews! See you at the bottom!
Stephanie Meyer owns Twilight. I just make her characters' lives as difficult as possible.

Edward and I had avoided eye contact for over a week after the coffee incident. Constantly, I could feel his blazing green eyes bore into me, but I always was afraid to meet his gaze. There was no need to talk, until the scene where we interacted would come into play.
BIG whoop.
The morning before I was supposed to be on set, I woke up without any of my pads that protected me from, as I deemed it, the flow. I tossed on a rain stained trench coat and headed to the nearest store to buy a box. Creeping behind a mountain of lima bean cans, I spotted the last tampon box on the shelf. I heard a squeak of wheels behind me, probably another woman with my same intentions.
It's on, lady.
Quickly, I made a dash toward the shelf and nabbed the box, tumbling down onto the newly- waxed, white linoleum floor. I stood up, dusting myself off, and a hand tore my precious box away.
"What the fu-"
My speech halted to a stop when I saw THE Edward Cullen flashing me an obnoxiously smug smile, and dangled the box from his long, slender fingers.
"You little prick!" I muttered and swiped at the box.
Edward quickly pulled it away.
"Hmmm, let's see," He scanned the box. Suddenly, he let out a little yelp and dropped it.
"MOTHER FUCKING NATURE?" he cried incredulously.
I suppressed a laugh and picked up the pale pink box.
"Imagine the covers on People tomorrow. You know how the paparazzi follows you. The headlines: Edward Cullen seen in Thriftway holding female menstruation products. The press will go wild." I teased.
He pouted. "Hey, you didn't warn me."
I licked my lips. "That's what you get for ambushing an unsuspecting, innocent girl in the "Women's Products" aisle." I fluttered my eyelashes for an innocent look.
He groaned. "What you have there?" He started sorting through my cart of stuff I had picked up on my way.
"Let me see, chocolate, obviously, more chocolate, facial masks and…coffee beans?"
He held up the bag, and then lowered it, his eyes losing their playful twinkle.
"By the way, I was meaning to ask… why?"
"Why what?" I asked anxiously.
"Why did you walk away? If it were any other girl, she would let me get to first-" He stopped, catching himself in mid-sentence.
"What?" I asked again, making sure I heard correctly. His eyes were pooled with remorse for his previous statement.
"What I meant was-""So that's who you think I am? A whore? That's real smooth, Cullen, real smooth." I wheeled my cart around, seeing red.
"No, you don't understand-"
"I understand perfectly!" I screamed back at him, ignoring the stares I was receiving from other customers. I walked briskly to the cashier and gave her a twenty, not waiting for my change.
"Wait, Bella…"
I stormed out of the grocery store, stopping to only answer one question: Edward and I were not dating…
"And never will be!" I told the reporter sharply. Within minutes, I was almost back home.
The encounter with Edward at first made me think that he wasn't as bad and much of a bastard I thought he was. But after his words, I knew he was still the asshole I always thought he was.
So how did you like it? *bites bottom lip nervously*
dowlingnana- I hope I didn't disappoint you!
