Edward's Pet Peeve Number One: Bella's Nagging About his Driving
"Edward, could you please slow down!" Bella exclaimed, clutching at the seat with fear while glaring at Edward.
"Bella," Edward started in an annoyed voice. "I always drive this fast! It has never bothered you before!"
"Well it bothers me now!" (A/N: That line was from the movie Overboard! Hilarious movie!) "So…slow DOWN!"
"Don't bother me while I'm driving, woman!"
"Don't yell at me!"
"Yell at you?! You're yelling at me!"
Bella took a deep breath. Curse her tear ducts for being wired to her anger!
"Just hurry up and take me home!"
"Oh, so now you want me to speed up?! Well, fine! I'll speed up!" Edward said, his voice a little crazy. He stomped on the gas pedal and sped up to a hundred miles per hour.
Suddenly, they heard a police siren whaling behind them.
"Aw, shit," Edward cursed.
Edward's Pet Peeve Number Two: Bella's Constant Need to be Around Him
"So, what are we doing today?" Bella asked Edward. They were sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Well…uh…Emmett, Jasper, and I were thinking about doing something…by ourselves," He added pointedly.
"Oh…so…you don't want me to come?" Bella asked a little hurt.
"Well, you know, Bella, sometimes I just need…we just need some man time. You know, to watch football, go hunting…to do guy stuff without a woman interrupting,"
"So, what you're saying is, I'm always in the way?"
"No! It's just that…I don't know, I just want time to myself. I mean, you're always with me--"
"So now I'm clingy?"
"I just need personal space!" Edward yelled in frustration. "You're always in my bubble! Correction: I don't have a bubble, you are my bubble!"
"I'm so glad you like to be around me!" Bella bit sarcastically. By the time she said this, both of them were standing up, Bella with her hands on her hips, and Edward's arms were crossed.
They remained silent, looking at everything but each other until Edward looked up. He glared defiantly at her.
"I'm still going with Emmett and Jasper,"
Edward's Pet Peeve Number Three: Bella's Whining (Ex: Shopping and her Humanity)
"Bella!" Alice shouted. "Let's go shopping!"
"Edward!" Bella exclaimed. "Save me! I don't want to go shopping!"
"You're going to be going anyways," Edward replied, rolling his eyes. "Why should I waste the effort?"
"You mean, lazy, hot vampire!" Bella yelled. "You don't understand! She makes me try on outfit after outfit after outfit! I'm not a Barbie doll!"
"She does it to all of us. Why should you be exempt from it?"
"Because I'm your girlfriend! And you are supposed to save the girl!"
"You sure whine a lot. It's kind of getting on my nerves…" Edward mumbled the last part to himself.
"I heard that, Cullen!"
"Well it's true! You whine about everything! You whine about my driving, Alice taking you shopping, and about staying human!"
"Hey, I have good reasons for all of those!"
"Really?"
She glared at him. "Really."
"And they are?"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to be Barbie, and finally, I'm a klutz and shouldn't be allowed to be a human!"
"…True,"
Bella's Pet Peeve Number One: Edward's Protectiveness
Bella and Edward walked hand in hand to their next class, biology. When they sat down, Mike came up to them. Bella noticed how questionable his hair looked.
"Hey, Bella!" Mike exclaimed, completely ignoring Edward.
"Uh, not to be rude," Bella replied. "but what's up with your hair?"
"Thought I'd try something new. You like it? I know what else you might like…"
"Go away, Mike," Edward said sharply. He put his arm around Bella's shoulders protectively.
"Shut it, Cullen," Mike said.
"Edward, he just wants to talk," Bella said. Edward clenched his teeth together and looked away.
"So, Bella, did you want to do something on Saturday?" He asked, lightly touching her hand. Edward growled and stood up. He glared at Mike. It was quite a comical sight to Bella because Edward was a good foot taller than Mike.
"Don't touch her," He said in a low, dangerous voice.
Bella rolled her eyes, sighed, and leaned her head on her hand.
"Edward, I can take care of myself, you know," Bella said while the two had a stare down.
Edward glanced down at her and reluctantly sat down. He placed his arm back around Bella's shoulders.
"You're mine, and only mine. Remember that,"
"Whatever you say, Edward. Whatever you say…"
Bella's Pet Peeve Number Two: "Cautious Edward"
Bella and Edward were sharing an amazing kiss, but as usual, Edward tensed up and pulled back.
Bella glared at him. "You know it really grinds my gears when you do that," (A/N: Family Guy! HA!)
Edward rolled his eyes. "If we kept going there wouldn't be and gears to grind. You'd probably be dead."
"I'm willing to take the risk,"
"I'm not,"
"Chicken,"
"Am not! There's nothing wrong with be careful! In fact, if I weren't careful, I could literally crush you!"
"I'm not as fragile as I look, you know!"
"Yes, you are,"
"Am not!"
"Are too,"
"Am not!
"I'm not going to do this, you know," Edward said. "I better go, Charlie's coming home. I don't want to get caught."
He left before he heard Bella shout,
"There you go, being cautious again!"
Bella's Pet Peeve Number Three: Edward's Immortality Advantages
Bella frantically picked up her book bag from the kitchen chair and searched through it. She was looking for her keys. Edward was there, but he wouldn't be going to school because it was a sunny day.
In her search, she accidentally tipped her book bag upside down, causing the books to spill out. She expected to hear a clatter, but instead the books were piled neatly on the table.
She sighed. "Thanks, Edward,"
"No problem," He replied.
She ran over to where her lightweight jacket was and was about to pick it up, but suddenly Edward was holding it up for her. She blinked, and then scowled.
"Thanks," She grumbled. She picked up her book bag and her keys and stumbled out the door. She went to open the door, but she suddenly found herself being lifted into the seat. The door shut and she looked over at a sparkling Edward.
"Would you stop doing that?!" She exclaimed. "It's annoying!"
Edward grinned. "Sorry, I just can't help myself,"
"That's what you always say," she said with a roll of the eyes.
"Because it's true. Now go! You don't want to be late,"
She sighed and pulled out of the drive way and raced down the street.
"Damn that vampire," She muttered.
Edward stood in the driveway, staring after her.
"Finally," He sighed. "Now I can have Edward time,"
