So lately I've been stuck on this new show called The 100 and I haven't been able to finish with these two because of it. I say that I can watch it while I work but for some reason I cannot. Instead of making you wait though I spilt chapter two up.
6:45 A.M. April 1st
Edward got out of the shower and wrapped and a towel around his waist, glancing over to the toilet, checking to make sure that everything was still set up for his prank. He walked out of the bathroom and to the kitchen where the coffee had just finished brewing. Grabbing the cups from the cupboard he began to pour a cup for Mary.
"Good morning." He said bringing the coffee into the bedroom and set it on the little table closest to Mary's side of the bed. "It's a good thing that you took a shower last night instead of doing your usual morning shower," Edward said glancing over at Mary before turning around to get out his work clothes for the day.
"Huh?" She answered back as she had not fully awoken yet.
"The shower? You should be happy you took one last night instead of this morning." He replied as he was getting dressed for work."It's really gross, I think it may have to be cleaned sooner than expected."
"Why? What happened to it?"
"So I'm in there washing my hair and I accidently open my mouth but instead of tasting the old city water taste I always do, it tasted like chicken." He stopped his usual morning routine to look over at her. Searching her face to look for validation that this wasn't all a dream or that he wasn't in fact going insane. "I open my eyes and back up wondering what was going on to see that the water and turned a light brown, not enough that it looked extremely dirty but enough for me to get freaked out."
"It is probably nothing, Edward, get ready for work, you are going to be late."
"And another thing," He ignored her still on his rant about his shower."I grab my bar of soap to try and wash myself, not that I could anyway with the dirty water, and the soap wouldn't bubble up for some reason. It's like today is Friday the 13th for me or something."
"Edward, would you please stop freaking out over such petty, fixable things and get ready for work?"
"Fine but I am going to figure out the problem though, once I get home tonight. Will you be here?" Returning back to his morning routine, he looked back at her through the mirror.
"Probably not, I have work to do, Edward, I just can't sit around your house and clean like some housewife of yours." She replied getting up and out of bed. Taking her coffee with her, she walked into the kitchen and to the bathroom, glancing back at Edward to make sure he wasn't looking, she closed the door to the bathroom and proceeded to dump the coffee Edward made down the drain of the sink. Usually, she would drink it but between it being April Fool's Day and what she put in the coffee grounds themselves, she was going to pass on it for today.
Setting down the cup on the side of the sink she went over and lifted up the lid of the toilet. Seeing a slight ripple in the way the toilet was formed, she began to investigate. Crouching down to look she lifted up the seat of the bowl and gently sat it up to make sure Edward couldn't hear her ruining his fun. Around the rim of the bowl, Mary could see plastic wrap clinging to it and decided that Edward's foolish trick on her had been to wrap up the toilet seat in plastic wrap. What he wanted the outcome to be, on the other hand, she wasn't quite sure of.
Sighing, she ripped it off the bowl and stood up. Crumpling it into a ball she grabbed her empty mug and went back out into the kitchen to swiftly throw away the plastic ball and set the coffee cup into the sink before proceeding to the bedroom where Edward was still getting ready.
"I saw your little joke in the bathroom," She said to him." That was quite the prank you pulled, I almost actually fell for it this year."
"Almost?" He replied turning around to look at her. "Guess you're stuck with me until next year then."
"I don't think whether or not you pull a good prank on me determines if I'll stay with you or not." Walking over to him, she reached around and grabbed the clothes she had set up the night before on his dresser. Unselfconsciously she stripped and changed into them. "Are you almost ready for work?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I'm just about to start my car and get my bag packed for work." He replied wrapping his arms around her waist. After holding her for a few seconds, he kissed her on the head grabbed his keys and went out to his car.
Mary followed him until she got to the doorway of the bedroom and watched him leave before heading back into the room. Looking around she quickly found the pack of his cigarettes that she had been fooling around with earlier in this morning and put it in his bag. Hearing the front door announcing Edward's arrival back into the house she grab the bag and brought it out to the couch, where it would sit until Edward left and brought it with him to work.
"Did you want more of this coffee before I put it all in my travel cup?' Edward asked as he was getting out his travel cup from the cupboard.
"Nah, I think you can handle the rest of that yourself, Edward." She replied putting on her shoes.
"Okay then, more for me I guess." Edward shrugged. After making up his coffee and screwing on the lid, he walked over to where Mary was standing and threw his travel cup into his bag. Wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her in close trying to savor his last few moments with her before he had to leave, judging by both of their schedules he would be lucky if he got another chance to see her before the weekend arrived. Checking his watch, he quickly realized that it was time to leave so with a quick kiss on Mary's lips he pulled away from her and grabbed his bag.
"I'll call you on my lunch break and then again once I get home tonight, okay?" He said throwing his bag over his shoulder.
"Jaysus, Edward you are so clingy," Mary replied teasingly."Why don't you wait to call me until you get home, huh? Do you think you can handle not talking to me for that long?"
"I guess so." Edward sighed. He dragged his feet over to the door, only stopping to put on his shoes then turned around to look at her."I love you, ya know."
"I love you, too, I guess." She replied pushing him out the door and with one more peck on the lips he was gone, off to work. After making sure that he had left and not forgotten anything she walked back into the bathroom. Getting into the tub she reached up and unscrewed the shower head cover from the shower head itself. Looking it in to make sure there were no remnants of her prank she got out of the shower and went over to the sink to rinse it out. Once she had cleaned it out completely and got it back on the head she grabbed the bar of soap and toothpaste and went back into the kitchen.
Grabbing a bowl from the cupboard she filled it up with nail polish remover that she had recently bought just for this reason. Making sure that all of the liquid was out of the bottle she set the bar of soap into it. Mary watched it for a minute before turning sideways and opening the cupboard that Edward had recently dedicated to just snacks. She got up on her tippy toes, opened up the cupboard and reached in for the Oreos. Retrieving them from the cupboard she opened them up and began to twist apart the Oreos. Once finishing the task of emptying out every single cookie she stared at it for a second, chuckling under breath then she reached over and grabbed the toothpaste. Putting a few teaspoons in each one, she made sure that everything looked perfect and nothing was out of place.
After she had finished that job she put the container back into the cupboard and stepped back admiring her work. Putting everything away she began to think over everything she did and wondered if she missed anything. Standing back she admired her work and how little time it took to do all of the cookies. Going back to the couch she sat down and turned on the television, ready to wait for Edward to come home.
