Chapter 8: Which was for…
EPOV
"You're different than I remember" I said, looking at her.
"Yer. Lost that baby fat" she said, smiling.
"Oh" I relied dumbly.
"Um… oh, I think we all have some business to attend to…" Alice started, looking around franticly trying to find a place they can all run to, "upstairs" she said, dragging Jasper towards the stairs, Emmett and Rosalie following.
I watched as they walked up the stairs. Once they were out of eye sight, I turned back towards where Bella was standing.
"Hi?" I said, sounding more like asked.
"How long has it been?" she asked, completely ignoring me.
"Um…" I said, trying to rack my brain for a number.
"3 years" she answered herself. She looked down at her intertwined hands, "You don't remember me well" she mumbled.
"Of course I do, you died my hair green. How could I forget?" I said calmly, even though the memory started to make me angry.
"Hey, that was for the glue on my seat" she said defensibly.
"Which was for all those rumors about me (use your imagination)!" I all but screamed.
"Which was for the tomato sauce (use your imagination)"she screamed back.
"Which was for the pie on top of my locker"
**********
We continued screaming at each other until we got the beginning of it all.
"Which was for the honey during nap time in preschool" I screamed, my hands against the counter, leaning in closer to Bella out of anger.
"Which was for the cookie" she screamed back, a mirror of me, just on the opposite side.
"Well maybe…" I started, only to be interrupted.
"Why would I have had to watch my…"
"Because, someone might…"
"Oh and you're that someone that just might…"
"Hey, not my fault, you should've…"
"You're right, next time I'll just…"
"Oh come on, that's just…"
"It's not stupid, if I have to…"
"Why would you get a body guard to protect your…"
"So people like you don't…"
"Why would I want to steal your…"
"Because you've done it before" At this point in time, I realised that neither of us had finished a complete sentence.
"Maybe I just wanted to annoy you" I purred, actually purred, what the heck's wrong with me.
She looked taken back for a moment, before smiling evilly.
"Mmm" she purred back, hopping up onto the bench, and crawling over to me.
She sat down on the counter, before wrapping her legs around my waist.
"Am I annoying you now?" she whispered, looking up at me through her beautiful eye lashes.
"Mmmmmm, you could do worse" I whispered back, getting caught up in the moment.
"Mmmmmmm" she mumbled back, leaning in towards me, as if to kiss me, her hands running up my stomach under my shirt. I eyed her cautiously. "Watch me" she whispered, leaning away, however, making no effort to take her hands out of my shirt or to move for that fact.
"Naturally" I whispered. She looked at me, straight into my eyes. Her gorgeous brown eyes, looking more beautiful than ever.
"I better be going" she whispered, not looking away.
"Yer" I muttered, also not looking away.
"I really should be going" she whispered again after a minute.
"You should" I mumbled back, leaning in closer to her.
"I really, really, should be leaving" she whispered, also leaning in towards me.
"You really should" I whispered again before our lips touched.
My lips burnt as our lips moved in synchronization.
"Bella, we really should be…" Alice's voice stopped.
Bella pulled away from me, smiling at me, not even looking at Alice.
"We really should be going" she said, loud enough for Alice to hear.
"That's what I was about to say" Alice whispered.
"Well… now Edward…" she said, leaning in and whispering into my ear, "Life's about to get very interesting"
"Mmmm" I mumbled back, kissing her neck.
"And this whole kissing thing…" she whispered to me again, "doesn't change a thing" And with that, she pecked my lips, hopped of the bench and walked out holding Alices hand.
"That girl is a freak" Emmett said, walking in a minute later, followed by Jasper and Rosalie.
"Which one?" Rosalie hissed.
