-Standing in the airport waiting for the Cullen boys to show up…-
Ugh! Where are they?! I thought angrily to myself as I pulled out my iPod in attempt to distract me from the obvious. I was alone in an airport, waiting for my should-be-brother Emmet and my worst nightmare, Edward.
What seemed like hours later (and a veggie slice from Pies On) I felt a strong hand on my shoulder.
"Wake up!" A loud deep voice whispered harshly. I opened my eyes to see a long lost nightmare all grown up.
"Hi, when did you guys get here?" I said gravely, my voice hoarse with sleep.
"Just now, Emmet is getting the bags; I had to look for you. Glad to see you stayed awake." Edward said smirking.
"Ugh!" I said as I popped out of the plastic chair and walked hastily over to baggage claim, where Emmet was standing with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette behind his ear.
"Em!" I yelled as I began to run over to him. He turned around and caught me as I jump-hugged him.
"Bella! I missed ya' kid." He said as he set me down and looked me up and down. "Do me a favor?"
"Yeah?" I asked as I watched him pull the bag off the belt.
"Eat something, would ya?" He smiled and I laughed. Edward stepped in between us to get his two overnight bags and stepped back out of the way.
"So Bella," Edward said "Why didn't I get a greeting like that?" He said with a hint of anger in his eye.
"Well…you woke me up." I said as I turned around. Wow, I am such a bitch. "Just kidding!" I said loudly as I turned around and hugged Edward tightly. He dropped his bags and hugged back, just long enough for it to feel awkward.
To be honest, I hadn't really spoken to Edward since we were younger, and they were never nice conversations. He and I barely saw each other during the summer when I would stay at their house. He'd be out with friends, and when he was home I'd make severe attempts to avoid him. In my head he was still a grass-stained nuisance. But he didn't seem like one as I hugged him, he seemed like a man. He smelled like a man too.
Emmet cleared his throat. "So, weird-os where's your car Bella? Are we going clubbing tonight?"
"I'll take you to the car and are you serious? It's fucking Forks!" He laughed and Edward smirked.
"Okay, well I'm going to take a drive into Port Angeles tonight…without you guys, okay?" Emmet said as he picked up his bag and followed me to the car.
"Em! It's my car."
"Oh, yeah. Bella, can I borrow your car?" Edward actually laughed.
"Ugh! Fine, but don't crash it. And you are sleeping on the couch, Edward…I haven't figured out where you can sleep yet but we'll figure it out."
"Thank you for not only your hospitality but your immense preparation for our arrival." Edward said sarcastically.
"Whatever." I scoffed.
