CHAPTER 6
The morning came way too soon for my liking. I groaned and rolled over to look at my clock with half open eyes. It was just after seven. I hurt all over the place, every bone in my body ached. By golly I was not looking foreword to this day.
"Bella!" Charlie called from downstairs. "Bell I'm leaving!" Good for you dad. I thought as I tumbled out of bed. I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. God what a fright! I thought of taking a shower, screw that, I took one last night.
It wasn't until I was downstairs eating my breakfast that I remembered that Edward was picking me up this morning. I groaned and put my head in my hands. When he hell was he coming? He never said a time. Maybe I should just drive my truck to shoo. I liked that Idea better. Otherwise if I was with Edward I might say something about myself that could be trouble. I ran upstairs, brushed my teeth, then, grabbed my jacket on my way out.
The sun. Oh sweet Jesus, the sun was out. The grass was still wet from last night's rain, but the sunshine made it glisten like thousands of diamonds dancing on the end of the blades. I closed my eyes and savored the sweet air that I inhaled. Mmmm. I absolutely loved the smell of spring, it was so fresh and cool.
"Do you always look like that when the sun shines?" His voice came from the driveway. I opened my eyes to look at him. His skin was literally glowing, or maybe that was just my eyes playing tricks on me. It wasn't very nice of them to make him look like a god. He stood there, leaning against his car casually. I glared at him, trying to cover up my anxiety of seeing him.
"Ever heard of calling before you decide to drop bye?" I asked accusingly.
"Ever think of giving me your phone number so that I can?" he retorted, pushing away from the car. "Besides I thought I was picking you up."
"Yeah, yeah, fine. Whatever." I said as I walked to the passenger's side of the car. He smiled his gorgeous, sexy smile, his white teeth flashing in the sunlight. Damn sun.
He beat me to the door and gracefully opened it for me.
"A ride for my lady." I arched my eyebrows at him in question, then played along.
"Why thank you kind sir." I had a quarter in my pocket that I dropped into his hand as a token of my gratitude, then got in.
"Madame" He bowed low, before closing the door and walking to the driver's side. I couldn't help but smile, he was so perfect, so handsome. Like a perfect gentleman. I wondered what Charlie would think If I brought him home as my new boyfriend. Edward gave me another quick smile.
I twisted my hands, trying to calm down about the closeness of us.
"Thanks for the ride Edward" I said with sincerity. He nodded in return and backed out of the drive.
