Disclaimer: I do not own anything, just the plot.

xXxXxXx

The next day Grandma Marie was coming over to have dinner. She usually comes every once in awhile. Usually when she comes there's always some dispute between her and Charlie. The first twenty minutes was alright when she arrived, but then during dinner things got a little rough.

"Charlie, be a dear and fill my glass," Grandma commanded in a sweet voice.

Charlie faked a smile. "Sure mom," he said through his gritted teeth and then got up from the dining table to the kitchen to refill Grandma's glass with water.

I snickered quietly to myself. When Grandma first arrived, she and Edward got along great. She liked him a lot, a lot more than Charlie anyway. She even bought Edward a nice blue tie as a welcome gift.

"So, Edward do you work out?" Grandma asked astonished while appraising Edward's toned arms.

"Mom…" Renée warned in a small voice.

Even my mom knew what Grandma does is crazy, anything that comes out of her mouth starts some kind of fight or something that makes people feel awkward. She would always show my naked baby pictures to our relatives, which would get me so mad my bubble would just burst. She said she only wanted to show them because she thought I was so adorable. Grandma just doesn't realize what she does. Some people just don't like it when others see their bum from when they were a child.

Yeah, I love her. But she's insane.

Grandma glanced at mom. "I'm just asking him a question, no harm in that." She looked back at Edward and waiting for his response.

Edward became stiff next to me as I poked my meatloaf with my fork. I just knew this would happen! I just knew it. Grandma has the tendency to make people feel uncomfortable with random and embarrassing questions. She does it to Charlie all the time.

I personally don't think she does it to embarrass people purposely, well maybe except Charlie. But I think she's just curious and she's just doing it to strike up a conversation or to be friendly. She's only mean to Charlie.

"Er, well I did back in London," Edward replied shyly. "But lately I haven't."

Charlie returned back to the table with the full glass and handed it to Grandma.

"Well that's just a shame, you could have taught Charlie a little something or two about working out. He's looking a bit flabby these days," she said while gesturing to Charlie.

I bit my lip, trying really hard not to laugh.

"Well thanks mom," Charlie spat bitterly while eating his pasta.

Grandma grimaced at Charlie and then turned to Edward. "How old are you Edward?"

"I just turned eighteen a couple of weeks ago."

Grandma smiled causing her eyes to wrinkle even more. "Well that's wonderful, Bells over here is seventeen. Well you two are perfect for each other; I can already see you two getting married and making little babies."

My jaw practically dropped on the table and my brown eyes widened. Charlie started choking on the water he was sipping, causing Renée to pat him on the back frantically. His coughing was so loud I thought I might have to cover my ears. His face was so red I thought he might pass out. It took him a while to get back to normal.

I looked down at my meatloaf which I pulverized with my fork. I didn't dare look at Edward. My whole life I have never seen Grandma act this way. She has never done anything so embarrassing and absurd.

Yeah, she does crazy stuff sometimes but why would she humiliate Edward and me like that? How could she say something like that?

My heart was pounding so loud that I'm sure Edward could hear it.

"Uh…so um mom, how's your rose garden doing?" Renée asked Grandma nervously. Her face was red just like mine from what Grandma just said; she was as shocked as me.

"Oh shush Renée, don't change the subject." Grandma scolded. "When I see a connection I'm never wrong."

"Grandma," I warned with a very stern voice, looking her straight in the eye. She looked back at me. "Please," I mouthed.

I did the wrong thing by glancing at Edward and saw him staring at me. He quickly looked away, his cheeks were slightly pink. I couldn't quite believe it, Edward Cullen blushed! Well that was different.

Grandma sighed and said cheerfully, "Who's ready for dessert?"

xXxXxXx

After Grandma left after the whole fiasco I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. I need to relax and soothe myself after what had happened. I was so stressed out; all I could do to calm myself was to take a bath.

After my steamy shower, I felt a lot better. I wasn't as stressed out anymore. I changed into my pajamas and brushed my teeth, wanting to go straight to bed.

I went straight to my bedroom, and opened the door…only to find Edward inside without a shirt on; shirtless…no shirt. Only pajama pants and nothing else. He was holding his nighty shirt, getting ready to put it on… well until I came in he stopped and looked at me. He looked a surprised to see me.

I couldn't help but let my eyes roam over his toned upper body. Gosh, he was flawless-

My eyes widened. "S-sorry," I stuttered frantically and then quickly left the room, closing the door behind me.

I leaned my body against the wall across my bedroom, and sighed. I placed my hand over my heart, hoping it would stop beating so much. I thought it might burst.

"You can come in," I heard Edward call from my room.

I opened the door hesitantly, and went inside to see Edward sitting on his bed with his shirt on. "I'm sorry, I guess I forgot to lock it," he apologized nervously, he didn't meet my gaze.

"It's a-alright," I stuttered, my face turning hot again. I went over to my bed, softening up the pillows and preparing for bed. I thought I should at least talk about what happened with Grandma to Edward. "I'm sorry about my Grandmother, she can be a handful sometimes..."

"Oh, it's quite alright," he replied while getting into bed. "She's funny."

"Yeah," I muttered. "Hilarious." My hands were still slightly shaking from seeing him shirtless.

I went across the room to flip off the light switch and then get into bed. But for some reason, I couldn't sleep. I kept changing positions and I just couldn't get comfortable.

"Edward?" I called out in the darkness. Hopefully I didn't wake him, I'm pretty sure he was already awake.

"Yes Bella?" he whispered, he sounded breathless for some reason. Even in the dark, I could see his bright green eyes shoot open. They seemed to gleam from the moonlight that was coming from the window.

"Do…do you miss your family?" I asked in a small voice.

I wasn't asking him this to be friendly or anything, I was genuinely curious. I barely know anything about him, his life back in London or where he went to school. All I know was that he went to boarding school. And that was it.

He was just this beautiful mysterious boy…who just happened to live with me.

I heard him shift a little in his bed. I couldn't see his face well, but I saw his emerald eyes and the curves of his face. He was staring intently out the window, he was deep in thought.

"Yes…very much."

I gulped, he sounded so…vulnerable. I've never heard him like this before. It made me feel sorry for him, a whole new kind of guilt washed over me. I've been so mean to him…I've been a complete ass. And he didn't deserve it; he was so far from his family. The last thing he needed was someone being a jerk to him.

And now thinking back on all the horrible remarks I said to him, I feel like the worst person on face of the Earth. I regret it all now, and I would do anything just to go back in time when he first came and treat him with the respect he deserved.

"Do you have any siblings?" I asked skeptically.

"Yes, I have a sister named Alice," he replied, his voice wasn't as depressed as it was two minutes ago. The first thing that comes to my head when I think of Alice is Alice in Wonderland…that movie still gives me nightmares. "And I have a brother named Emmett."

"What about your parents?"

"My dad's a doctor and my mom's a stay at home mom, they both love me dearly and they didn't want me leaving because they thought I wasn't ready," he explained slowly and softly. "But I wanted to prove to them that I could be fine on my own…without them."

"Do you want to go back to them?"

"Sometimes I do, but I like it here. It's very pleasant and your parents are very friendly," he replied. "But I need to do this, not only to show them that I'm responsible enough but also because I need to do this for myself and it's a lot harder than I expected; to be away from them I mean."

"You still talk to them though, right? On the internet?"

I see Edward sometimes on my computer, Renée let him use it a couple of times. I've always wondered what he does on there, but never bothered to ask. And now I know what he does.

He replied, "Yes."

It must be so hard for him, to be away from his family for so long. And especially if his roommate is such a jerk to him, he's probably having such a tough time here. I wouldn't be surprised if he hated me and wanted to leave.

"Edward…?"

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry."

I heard him exhale, as if he was holding his breath. "Thank you," he whispered, his voice told me he forgave me, which made me happy. It told me that we can now start fresh and start all over. And that hopefully things will get better.

"Goodnight Edward," I said.

Now I know so much about Edward, why he came and how much he misses his family. I feel a lot closer to him now that I apologized and he forgave me. After Grandma came and all that crazy stuff happened that still shocked to me about what she said, it felt like ages ago. Now everything was OK between Edward and me, and I couldn't be happier.

After what I said that needed to be said, I felt the weight lifted off of me. Now I can finally fall asleep peacefully and probably dream about Edward being shirtless, and that's exactly what I did. Fall into my deep slumber.
