Thanks for the nice reviews on these (=
Mini Moments.. Four
The Acceptance Letter .. Edward
"Hey Edward? What's up?" Alice pranced herself into my room and jumped on my bed, where I was sitting with my laptop and a bunch of school books.
"Studying for finals. Shouldn't you be too?" I put my pencil back in my mouth and flipped the page of my biology book. It was the easiest, so I figured I'd get that one done first.
She rolled over and put her face in the pillow. "Ugh. Finals!" She lifted back up and I chuckled. "You know I always wait till the last minute. How many weeks of school do we have left anyways?"
"Six Alice. But we take finals in three. Thought you were counting down or something?" I shut the book and threw it to the side, then reached over to ruffle her hair.
"Edward! Stop! Yes I was, but I got bored and moved on to counting down till we move!" She sat up, further away from me. "Have you heard mom and dad talking about that townhouse they want to help us rent?"
I sat up at that. "Help us rent? What does that mean?"
"Well, since we all got scholarships, well except Emmett. He only got half of one." She paused to point out Emmett was the only odd ball with a half scholarship.
"Yeah, he only got a half one because he didn't study for finals enough." I smiled and pushed a book towards her. She rolled her eyes and bounced up on her knees.
"No, OK. Whatever. Anyways, they were talking about helping us rent it, like pay half the rent. Because you, me and Rosalie are the only ones working, we'll need help paying the rent for the year we're there. They wanna pay half of it for us!" She started bouncing up and down.
"Really? Have they seen the place?" I put the books into a pile and brought my laptop over. That's how we found this little townhouse. Well not little really, more like three bedrooms and three bathrooms. But when you think about six people living in it, it's small.
"Yeah, me and Jazz showed it to them. Well the internet pictures of it. Mom likes it, and wants to help." She gave me the piece of paper with the link and I typed it in.
When the page came up, we took another look at everything. We really liked it, and when we all decided we wanted to stay together through college we started looking for places. Me, nor Bella, wanted to live in a dorm and Jasper was tired of living on his own in a single. Who knows how Emmett and Rose managed to get a double to their own, but that doesn't matter, they'd be moving from it soon anyways.
"I'm so excited! I can't wait till live on our own and go to school with Jasper!" She pointed to the picture of the outside of the house.
I chuckled at her and minimized the page. "Well it's good they wanna help. I don't know if we can afford it on our own. It's a little pricey for college students don't you think?"
She nodded but shrugged. "Yes, but I don't want to live in a dorm, and neither do you and Bella. So I see this as a good option. We can all stay together for another year. It'll be interesting. And with mom and dads help, we'll be fine
I nodded, then heard my phone start buzzing on the nightstand. I reached over and grabbed it, flipping it open to see a text from Bella.
IT'S HERE!!
My face broke into the biggest smile and I jumped off the bed, grabbing all my books into my backpack and throwing it over my shoulder. I could finish studying at Bellas.
"Where you going so quick?" Alice swung her legs off the bed and hopped down.
"Bellas. I'll be back tonight." I walked over, giving her a small hug and told her to shut the computer off when she was done. She nodded and I ran out the door and down the stairs. When I got to the garage I quickly grabbed my keys and jumped in my car. I decided to text Bella back and at least warn her I was coming.
On my way love (:
I pulled out of the garage and sped to Bellas house. When I got there she was peaking out the window. I parked, turned off the engine and ran to the door. When I opened the door, I shook the water drops from my hair and scanned the living room for her. I looked up to see her bouncing down the stairs with an big envelope in her hand.
"Edward!" She ran over to me and jumped in my arms, hugging me. I hugged her back and when she finally pulled away I kissed her forehead.
"Have you opened it yet?" I nodded my head down to the envelope in her hand and she shook her head.
"I was waiting for you." She grabbed my hand and led me to the couch, pulling me down next to her. "I'm scared. What if I didn't get in Edward? Seattle was really my only option. I don't wanna be anywhere you're not."
I gently grabbed the envelope from her hand and showed it to her. "It wouldn't be so big if they were telling you no." I held it up and put my finger under the lose flap. "May I?"
She nodded, "Please. I don't wanna do it." She started biting on her bottom lip and I smiled.
I slowly pulled it open and took out the letter. I opened it and started reading the name, making sure it was hers. I read through it quickly and looked up at her with a frown. How was I going to do this? Her eyes shot open wide and she looked at me.
"Edward, you said they wouldn't say no!" She put her head in her hands and looked upset. I put the letter down and put my hand on her back.
"I'm sorry love." I lifted her face to mine and smiled. "It's true though. You're going to be stuck in an house with Emmett for a year." She immediately broke into a smile and threw her arms around me.
"I got in?!" She pulled back enough to see my face and I nodded.
"Of course." I pulled her back to me and held her tight.
After a minute or two she left my arms and smacked my arm hard. I winced and brought my hand up to where she hit, rubbing it a little. "Ow, Bella."
"Don't do that to me! Edward, you had me scared!" She smiled and put her hand on top of mine. "Sorry, did that really hurt?"
It didn't really hurt that bad, but I decided to play it up. I nodded and continued rubbing my arm. I was trying not to smile, but she saw right through me. She smiled and leaned down, moving my arm away and kissing where she hit. She kissed it once more before moving her lips up my arm, planting soft kisses down occasionally on the way up. When she reached my neck she kissed there too, and I leaned my head back. She ran up my jaw to my cheek, kissing the whole way. I was starting to shiver from the feel of her lips all over me. I brought my arms up and put them on her shoulders. Not pushing her away, just resting them there. She finally reached my lips and I leaned back against the couch, slightly pulling her on top of me. I started kissing her back and wrapping my arms around her waist.
After only a couple minutes she pulled back abruptly and giggled. "Thank you for reading it for me." She picked the letter up and walked into the kitchen.
I got up and followed her as she reached the kitchen table and set the letter down. I walked up behind her and put my hands on her hips, pulling her to me.
I leaned down and kissed her ear, "Was that you're method of payback?" I felt her giggle and nod.
"Of course Edward." She laughed and wiggled from my embrace, walking to the kitchen and pulling out a pan. "Are you staying for dinner?"
I walked over and helped her, nodding.
While dinner was in the oven, we pulled out our biology book and started helping each other with the homework. I kept glancing across the table, just to look at her.
I couldn't believe in just a couple months, I was going to be living in a house with the girl I loved, attending college together, and the hopefully coming back here and starting a real life together. I couldn't wait. Though I did have one big obstacle I hoped to get over before we left for college. I wanted to do everything the right way, and hopefully she'd agree. Call me old-fashioned, but I just thought this is how it should be done. It's how Carlisle did it, and it worked for him.
I looked over at her and watched her flip the page, nibbling on her bottom lip. That drove me crazy when she did that, so I got up and walked over to her, sitting next to her and brushing the hair from the side of her neck. I placed a soft kiss on her neck and felt her scrunch her shoulder up, laughing.
"Edward, stop that. We have homework to do." She tried pushing me away, but I wasn't having it. I moved to her lips and pulled her bottom lips out from between her teeth with my finger, then attaching my lips to hers. She sighed and closed her eyes as I ran my hand to her neck and into her hair slowly. She finally gave in and threw her arms around my neck. I continued kissing her, getting more and more into it.
I parted from her just enough to breath and she lowered her head to my neck. She started kissing just to the side of my collar bone. If she moved any further over. Oh, wait, yep, like that! I groaned softly and put my hand on the back of her hand, gently fisting my hand in her hair. I wasn't sure if I should continue letting her do that, so I put my other hand under her chin and brought her lips back to mine. But before I could kiss her the timer on the oven went off. I kissed her anyways and she chuckled.
"Edward, I have to." I cut her off by kissing her. "Dinner Edward." And again. She started laughing. "It's going to burn!" She hopped up from the chair, lips still attached to mine and gently tried pushing me away. I reluctantly let go and watched her cross the small room to the oven. She shut the timer off and grabbed a mit, putting the dish from the oven. She set it on the stove and walked back over to me, draping her arms over my shoulders and looking down at the paper in front of me.
"You're not getting much of that done Edward." She giggled into my ear and I felt a shiver run down my back.
"Who cares? I have a good A average." I smiled up at her and she shook her head.
"Clear off some space, while I get dinner dished out. Charlie should be home soon." She kissed my cheek softly and took her arms off of me, walking back to the stove. I hurried to finish a couple more questions then put away unnecessary paper or books we didn't need anymore. I cleared room for her to sit next to me and eat dinner and when she put the plates on the table we started eating, occasionally answering a question on the paper.
Charlie came home a half hour or so later and Bella got up to get him a plate. He sat down across from us, and I didn't want to push the boundaries he so nicely gave me, so I moved my hand from around her shoulder to around her waist, where he couldn't see it.
"Bella, are you going to tell your dad the good news?" I looked at her, then across the table. Charlie put his fork down and wiped his mouth.
"I got accepted dad." She looked so excited just saying that out loud. I saw how happy it made her and it made me more eager for high school to be done with.
"That's great Bella. I told you you'd get accepted. Was that what was in the mail this morning?" He smiled at her and continued eating.
"Yeah." She looked back at me and smiled. I smiled back, giving her a small quick kiss on the lips.
We finished up dinner and I helped her clean up, then we sat back down and finished what little was left of our homework. A constant smile was on her face all night but when I left her to go back to my house for the night the smile faded.
"I love you Bella. I'll see you tomorrow morning." I leaned down to kiss her lips and she smiled a little.
"I know, but I miss you when you leave." She looked down at her feet and started fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.
"I miss you too love." I put my finger on her chin, coaxing her face back up. "But think about, we'll be together in Seattle soon enough. We'll never have to part after that." I smiled at her and kissed her once more before opening her door and waving goodbye. I jogged down the stairs and said my goodbyes to Charlie.
When I got outside I looked up at her window before opening my car door. The curtain was pulled back and she was waving down at me. I waved back and slowly got in my car. I kept my eyes on her until I reached the road, then went home.
These last couple weeks of school were going to be agonizing.
OK, so?
