Chapter 2: Mozzarella
BPOV
I woke up to the sound of the birds, usually; this would've made me smile. Today though, this was only annoying. I woke up dragging my feet and shutting the windows shut. I went to the bathroom, showered, brushed my teeth and changed my clothes. I went downstairs and heard the TV on. If it was Edward, I'm going to slowly torture him to death.
I went downstairs and the hope of seeing my husband on the couch soon vanished "Hello people who do not live here" I said to the 4 couch potatoes.
"Hi" They replied together without even turning their heads
"I gave you those keys for emergencies" I said to them.
"It was an emergency, we were out of food" Emmet replied
"Well, after a year of living alone I would think you guys would remember to buy groceries" I said whilst vaguely remembering the day Emmet, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper decided they want to live independently.
"Oh, come on Bella. Aren't you happy to see me?" Alice asked with her big round eyes
"Well, I distinctly remember saying it was a bad idea to move out but of course I'm happy to see you," I said before walking to the kitchen to get some coffee "In fact, it's nice to see anybody here anymore. It's such a big house to live in alone. Hey, Big Rose, where's Little Rose?" I called from the kitchen. When Emmet decided he wanted to name his daughter after his wife, we decided to refer to the mother/daughter duo as Big Rose and Little Rose.
"He spent the night at mom and dad's" She replied
"What do you mean by it's nice to see anybody? Where's Edward?" Jasper asked
"Work. Again. God it's like this past week I don't even have a husband. You know, I made this romantic dinner last night and I ended up eating boxed Mac and Cheese and stored the leftovers." Suddenly I felt people coming into the kitchen
"There are leftovers?" Emmet said with big, wanting eyes
"Yeah, go help yourselves," I said as I opened the fridge door for them "Okay, I'm going to go grocery shopping, I'll get you guys stuff too." I said to the 4 people who were not only eating with their hands, but didn't bother to heat up the food too.
"Thanks Bells" Emmet said with his mouth still full.
"Yeah, okay" I said about to walk out of the kitchen when Rose said
"Hey, could you get me some pills? I'm running out" She said
"Yeah, I miss running out of pills. You remember those days when you use to have sex 3 times a day?" I said imagining those days
"Only 3?" Emmet asked after giving out a snort
"You know, my sister was right. I should've just gotten a dog, they're more loyal and they die quicker" Just as I finished those words, my exhausted looking husband walks in and immediately everybody started laughing especially Emmet
"What so funny? Do I have something in my hair?" Edward asked after kissing my cheeks
"Bella's thinking of replacing you for a dog" Emmet said in between laughter
"No I wasn't!" I denied quickly, too quickly perhaps because Edward quickly looked at me with questioning eyes "I wasn't" I said again defensively "I gotta go" I said trying to walk out
"Hold up, I'll come with you" Edward said
"No, you need to sleep and have something to eat. I'll come with her" Alice said hopping off the kitchen stool.
"She's right. You need some sleep" I said. Then he left. I was hoping he'd apologize or maybe even said something, anything, but I guess I was hoping too high.
"Oh come on, cheer up" Alice said whilst she pushed her trolley and I pushed mine and Rose's
"I can't cheer up, I'm sexually frustrated" I said whispering to her, but apparently not hushed enough, because the group of teenage boys standing beside us was giggling.
"Hey, maybe we can help you out" One of them, a tall, good-looking tanned one said to me. Definitely the kind of boy Ashley would eat up if she was here
"Sorry, boys. I think she needs someone with more experience, like I don't know, someone who's actually been with a woman rather than his hands" Alice said before dragging me with her. We heard his friends laugh at him as we went down the aisle.
"That was harsh" I said
"That was necessary" She replied whilst picking up some stuff "Look, why don't you just buy a, you know, vibrator"
"I'm not that desperate. I can always cheat" I said joking
"Bella! How could you?"
"Oh, like you didn't" I said before I could stop myself
"That was a long time ago" She said upset. Clearly bringing that up wasn't going to do any good.
"I'm sorry Alice, I shouldn't have"
"It's okay. Let's just pay" She said in her normal bubbly tone.
"Hey, can we stop for ice cream?" Alice asked along the way home
"I don't see why not." I said as I parked the car. But instead of going into the ice cream store, Alice went to the shelter next door.
"This isn't ice cream"
"I know. I want to show you something" Alice said leading me inside to find a beautiful looking stray with shaggy blonde hair. But not long before I could admire him further, one of the guards took him.
"Oh, is he getting adopted?" I asked
"No, this one's going to the gas chamber"
"What? Why?"
"No one wants her," He said before dragging the dog "Come on, bitch" He dragged her harder
"Wait! I'll take her" I yelled
"Sorry ma'am, no can do"
"I'll give you $500 for her" I said, and that seemed to get his attention
"Well, why didn't you just say so? I'll get her stuff" He said
"$500 Bella? You didn't spend that much grocery shopping" Alice said
"I know, but look at her," I said walking to the dog "I'm gonna call you Mozzarella" I said to the dog
"Mozzarella?" Alice asked
"Yeah, she kinds of reminds me of the dog in FRIENDS"
"FRIENDS?"
"You don't know FRIENDS?"
"TV Shows are Esme's turf, anyway, let's get some ice cream" Alice said skipping out
After having ice cream and getting some stuff for Mozzarella, I dropped Alice to her house and went home.
"Edward? I'm home!" I called out. When there was no answer, I put the groceries on the kitchen counter "Edward!" I yelled again "Oh, that boy better not have gone back to work" I said to myself. I found him sound asleep on our bed. "Honey, wake up"
"Hey," He said rubbing his eyes
"Hi," I said after kissing him "Didn't you get any sleep last night?" I asked
"Only a couple of hours, I went into surgery last night, Bella! Isn't it great?"
"Of course it is!" I said not able to get mad
"I love you" He said kissing me, but then Mozzarella got in the bedroom and jumped us both
"I can explain" I said whilst smiling the biggest smile my lips could manage
