Edward's Curse, Part 3
Author's note: As promised, I continued, thanks for the reviews everybody! You're great… and… well,… BEHOLD CHAPTER NUMBER THREE!!!
Esmé, confused as she was, also faked a smile back.
"Well… that's, ahem, great dear, hehe, Edward! May I speak to you over there?" she said nudging her head towards the kitchen doors. Edward nodded and the two walked into the doors of the room. Carlisle stood on one side of the room, emotionless as he sipped a cup of coffee( a certain sort of red coffee in which I will put no further detail into to keep it K rated) he had in hand, and Amber was standing on the opposite side with a huge grin across her face. She often jerked her head left or right to look at something.
"I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS!!!" they heard from the kitchen.
"Don't you lie to me young man!"
"I'M 107!"
"DON'T BACK SASS ME!"
Carlisle squinted his eyes as the voices hushed down, and Esmé and Edward soon walked out. Esmé still had a fake smile and Edward had a real frown. "Well, Amber, hehe, how long have you known Edward?"
"Since 2005, September 6th!" cried Amber excitedly, remembering the first day it was published and how she ran to the book store to get it.
Wide-eyed Carlisle spit out his (RED) coffee laughing and almost spilled the whole cup. Edward read his mind, "I HAVE NOT BEEN HIDING AN OBBSESSED FREAK FOR 4 YEARS!!!" he cried in response to Carlisle's thoughts and laughter. Carlisle continued laughing though, despite Edward's rage. Esmé looked shocked that Carlisle was making a mess with his (red) coffee and went to get a mop from the kitchen. "Grr. Come on, Amber!" Edward mumbled pulling the rope as he walked away. Amber slid across the hard wood flooring as Edward disappeared behind a wall. Amber continued sliding across the floor past Carlisle as she waved bye. Then she as well disappeared behind the wall.
As Edward walked up the stairs, Amber followed behind. "And when Amber Jr moves out we'll give her room to Sheldon, but he'll only be there for, 1..2..3...4 years, so we can give that room to -." she went on counting her fingers. Edward slapped his forehead and continued walking up the steps until he came to the hallway. He went into his bedroom and slammed the door behind before Amber's side of the rope was through. He could still hear her voice through the other side of the door as he pushed play on his old fashioned record player… it played some sad song and he sat in a chair mourning over his beloved Bella.
On the other side of the door- Amber was sitting happily outside of the door playing with the rope and going on about how cute it'll be to see their children grow up half vampire half human. Just then, Rosalie walked down the hallway to see Amber seated comfortably on the floor at Edward's door. Rosalie cocked an eyebrow and stared at the pre-teen. "Uh… sorry to be rude… but. What are you doing at Edward's door with a rope going underneath and wiggling?!" she said quickly. "Well, long story short- Edward and I are destine to be together for ever until I ( at my last attempt for eternal life ) will become a vampire so we will truly be together… FOREVER!!! And have four children, get an English cottage in the Appalachian Mountains, never grow old and then roam eastern Asia with a charity children's fund that will sweep the nation and cure four types of cancer- ahh, what a life me and Edward will have. Him and his topaz eyes, and his sparkly skin, and his ability to read minds- and"
"SHUT UP! I've heard enough of this! You know- Emmett is EQUALLY attractive and- and- he's smart too! So- enough about how GREAT Edward is! So what if he's got a British accent- or, or, the main roll or- or- WAHAAAA!!!" she ran away crying in despair, crying over the fact Emmett is so dull- (not that Edward isn't). So anyway, back to the story- Amber sat there happily grinning, she took pictures of the door and the house that she surrounded.
Edward, on the other side of the wall, got up and went to his dresser to get changed. He walked over to the other side of the room when he jerked backwards and fell to the floor. He stared back at the rope. It wasn't long enough to get him across the room. He pulled desperately at the rope trying to get a little more slack- but he didn't budge. "Ugh! Why did you get a rope that's only 5ft long?!"
"Should I have gotten a 4ft one? Or a 3ft- or maybe even 2ft! THEN WE'D BE EVEN CLOSER!!! EEEP!" she squealed from the other side of the door.
"Ugh…" sighed Edward. He was just a foot short of reaching his dresser, so he tried stretching his arm out to the wardrobe. He stuck his foot out at the dresser trying to touch it the least, but he fell inches short. He began to run in place trying desperately to reach the dresser. He stretched his hand our to touch the doorknob.
"YES!" cried successful Edward- he was just lightly tapping it trying to open it but then - WOOSH- he went flying back to the door again just to hear Amber whimpering and shouting "JASPER!!! EEP! JASPER!!! TEEHEE! JAAAAAAAASPERRRR!!!!" His end of the rope was still tugging him against the door though there was no more rope to give up. Edward banged against the door with every jerk Amber made towards Japer on the other side. "OOF! ACK! OW-wwww…" whimpered Edward slamming against the door over and over, giving him a head ache. On the other side, Amber was screaming just out of reach of Jasper as he stood cornered and frightened in the hallway. Amber was tugging as hard as she could on the rope trying to free herself to hug Jasper. Jasper, however, huddled in the trapped angle trying to claw against the side wall, as if in a drastic attempt to free himself.
