Chapter 14:
The inside of my eyelids glowed red in the light streaming through my open window. I rolled over pulling the blanket over my eyes when I hit something hard and cold.
"Hey there, sleepy," his voice was closer than the rocking chair in the corner. I sat up and he was right there, next to me on the bed.
"Hi," I said breaking into a yawn, "How was hunting?"
"Delicious," he said smiling.
"Did you bring me a mountain lion?"
"I tried, but he didn't appreciate being put in the trunk of my car, the fight didn't end well for the lion." I had to laugh, rubbing my eyes out of sleep mode.
"Human minute," I said standing up and walking to my closet. I grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, Alice wouldn't approve but hopefully she'd be to busy to notice. I walked into the bathroom to wash my face and get rid of my morning breath. I took a shower and slipped into my fresh clothes, before skipping back to Edward.
I sat next to him again wrapping both of my arms around his waist. He grinned while playing with my wet hair. I sighed once again totally content. "So what are we doing today?" I asked resting my face against his chest.
"Want to take a ride up to Port Angeles again?"
"Why?"
His eyes smoldered at me, they were golden topaz and had near complete control over my decisions. "To pick out that new car you said I could buy you."
"Oh right, I guess theres no point in arguing."
"There isn't."
"Alright let's go."
He walked with me down the stairs, waiting while I inhaled a granola bar and chugged my orange juice.
"In a hurry?"
I shrugged, "I want to see my new car."
"Oh so now you're excited to get a new car." He smiled crookedly he always got his way.
"Yep!"
I think we set yet another new record as we sped to Port Angeles in the shiny Volvo. I grinned unable to control my excitement as we pulled into the dealers. Apparently all the car enthusiasm was wearing off on me.
Edward took my hand and lead me inside where he began talking, and completely dazzling the female salesperson. They spoke in a language I didn't understand, although I picked up on a few words like engine and horsepower. I also recognized a few brand names like Lamborghini and Porsche. Wait Lamborghini and Porsche? That was beyond our deal he was not buying me a car that expensive.
I grabbed his hand forcing him to look down at me. "Edward, you already have a Porsche and I am not driving a Lamborghini!" I noticed the saleslady staring wide-eyed at us as we spoke.
His eyes smoldered at me and he even went so far as to use the pouty lip. "But I've always wanted a Lamborghini…"
I laughed, "Then you can drive it."
"Fine no Lamborghini but you have to drive what ever other car I pick out." He grinned evilly.
I groaned, "No Lamborghini?"
"No Lamborghini."
"Okay fine," I was forced to give in I could only take those pleading eyes for so long.
He held my hand while continuing talking to the salesperson, "Wait here Bella," he said following the sales person into an office.
Minutes later he returned dangling keys in front of me.
"What is it? I want to see!"
He laughed, "We have to pay for it first love," I could tell he was thrilled at my newfound enthusiasm. While he spoke he handed a man with a name tag a fancy credit card. "Pay in full," he said before turning back to me.
The man staggered, staring wide eyed at the credit card, back into that same office. How expensive was this car?
After the man came back with Edward's credit card and some papers, Edward wrapped his arm around my waist leading me outside into the rain with one hand covering my eyes. We stopped and he let me see, "What do you think?"
He let me drive my new car home it was an Audi, something he had mentioned I would like. It had black leather seats and tinted windows, the outside was a shockingly bright blue. To my surprise I loved it.
The quiet engine purred as I guided it smoothly through the streets. I laughed at Edward's face in the rearview mirror, trying to hide his impatience as I drove the speed limit. I turned at a stoplight to grin at him.
