Hey! I'm so very sorry I never update my fanfictions. I'm working on that part! I have a lot of this story already written out. Like, I dunno, 12 or so chapters worth. I just totally forgot about it and haven't typed any of it out! But I'm doing so now. If there's a lot of spelling mistakes, it's probably because it's 3:45AM and I'm slightly hyper XD. Forgive me!! Thanks for reading. Suggestions are always welcome. ;). Also, it's kind've a short chapter. I was never good at writing incredibly long chapters, so I decided I'll just keep posting more and more chapters. Who knows how many will be up by the time I finally go to sleep? (Watch it be like two..)
Amerie.
Like always, I was the only one actually eating at the dinner table. Everyone gathers anyway for conversation – while I eat. Tonight, I was eating some of Esme's delicious lasagna.
"This is great, Esme, thanks!" I complimented her.
"You're very welcome, dear." Her calm, motherly voice replied.
As Edward and Emmett talked about hunting, I ate silently. Carlisle noticed my obvious gloom first. "So, Bella, what did you do today?" he asked, smiling warmly.
I hesitated. No fair.
"The usual." Short and simple.
He frowned.
Edward heard the conversation and turned to Carlisle. "She was with me all day. We took a ride through town." Edward lied smoothly.
I glanced at him and he smiled politely.
"Did you two have fun?" Esme asked.
"The same as always," Edward grinned widely.
Underneath the table, I silently reached for Edward's hand. Halfway, his hand met mine and I held on tightly. His lips curved into a small smile.
After I finished eating, Edward led me to my room. He kissed my forehead and started to leave me at the door. I wasn't having that.
"You're not staying?" I asked, taking on a worried tone.
"Do you want me to?" His smile softened.
I simply nodded.
He took my hand and led me into my room. I turned to him. His face suddenly grave, he said, "We're talking. That's final."
