I just laid there on my bed in shock. Edward freaking Cullen wants me to be his pretend girlfriend. Do I really want it? Hell yeah, I want it! However, it is not as we are going to continue dating. After the Tanya thing is over, we will drop it and go back to normal.
"Alright." I said finally.
Edward sighed in relief. "Really?"
"Yeah, why the hell not?" I grinned.
"Thanks, Bella."
"No, problem." I replied. Then something hit me.
I sat up and crawled over Edward.
"I gotta pee!" I said.
He laughed. "Okay."
I hurriedly went to the bathroom. After I went to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror while I was washing my hands. Huh, I can finally be one of the girls who be like, "'Yeah, I dated Edward Cullen.'" I only dreamt about dating Edward; I never really thought I would be actually dating him. Well, technically I am not. But, you know what I mean.
I walked back to my room and Edward was lying there perfectly on my bed. His feet were slightly hanging off the edge and he had his hands at the back of his head. He was grinning at me.
My heart stuttered. "So, what's the story?" I asked, while wiping my hands on my jeans.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"What's the story? Like, if the gang asks."
"Oh. Make something up?" He suggested.
"I'm not good at that. I cannot just make up something on the spot. I'm not a pathological liar like you." I stuck my tongue at him.
He rolled his eyes. "Well, it's about time to start. Even the worse liars like you can learn to lie pretty well." He said.
"I could just tell them the truth."
"What? You can't tell them the truth!" He looked at me with his eyes almost bugging out of his head.
I rolled my eyes this time. "I'm saying, I could say something like, "'He came over at my house after basketball practice like he usually does and after we did our homework together, he asked me.'" It is the truth, nothing too fancy and cheesy to think it's fake. It could work, you know."
I said this while walking over to my old dinosaur computer and turned it on. Sitting in my spinney chair, I started spinning around waiting for it to roar to life.
Edward was sitting up on the bed. He had his hand on his chin as you see the philosopher people do when they ask themselves, "'Why?'" I laughed.
"What?' He demanded.
"Nothing."
He raised a quizzical brow at me. "Really?"
"Yup." I said, still spinning around. Waiting for my computer to still load up.
Getting back to the previous subject, I asked. "You'd think it'll work?" I asked
"Yeah, it should. It's not like they care anyways." He said simply.
"Yeah you're probably right." I said, and then I heard a ding that my computer was finally loaded. "It's about damn time!" I said.
Edward was behind me then, "What are you doing?" He asked curiously.
"I'm checking my e-mail. Normally mom sends me one." I said. I got my e-mail browser up and I was right. I had one new e-mail from Renee.
Bella,
How are you sweetie? I have not heard from you in awhile. Is everything all right? How is Charlie?
I love you, miss you bunches.
Mom.
I sighed and replied with,
Mom,
I am fine. In addition, stop worrying, nothing is wrong. Charlie is fine, just his normal self. I love you and I miss you too.
Bella
Before I sent it, Edward typed,
P.S Edward says hi.
Then I hit send button. Then a question hit me.
"Are we going to be pretend dating in front of our parents too?" I asked.
Edward looked at me. "Yeah, it'd safer that way."
I just nodded. "When do we start?" I asked.
"Tomorrow."
I smiled. "Okay. Everyone is going to be staring." I said. Then I added, "I mean you're used to all the staring. Everyone stares at you. The straight guys would go gay in a heartbeat." I said teasingly.
Edward sighed. "You don't see yourself very clearly do you? Do you realize how many people stare at you?"
"No, because no one does." I said stubbornly.
Edward sighed annoyed and then looked at his clock on his phone. "I need to head home. I see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Alright." I said. We hugged as we normally do and I think, but I am not for sure, I felt Edward's lips kiss me on the top of my head.
OOO
Later that night when I was trying to fall asleep I could not. I was too wired about everything Edward and I discussed earlier. Everyone is going to be staring. Everyone is going to start gossiping.
Annoyed that I keep saying this to myself, I went into the bathroom and took and hot shower to mellow my thoughts. The scent of my strawberry shampoo relaxed me a little.
After my shower, I went to the medicine cabinet and took out a sleeping pill. When I finally laid down on my bed, I was pretty tired.
When I finally fell asleep, my dreams were filled with Edward and curious eyes.
OOO
