Chapter 15 Tricks
BPOV
It's Halloween night and I'm anxiously waiting on Edward I hope that he likes my costume I tricked him in to thinking that I had no imagination what so ever and I was going to dress up like an employ from Newton's but in reality I wanted to surprise him. I'm feeling as nervous as I did when I first met Edward things have begun to subtlety change between us when I'm with him I find it hard to remember and stick to my plan.
A big part of me wants to run away screaming but another bigger part wants to climb in his lap and never leave.
Just as a panic attack is about to take over the door bell rings and all the butterflies flee, on my way to open the door I catch my refection on the hallway mirror, causing me to grin as I throw open the door. Edward is poised to ring the bell again when he sees me and busts out laughing, "Gee Irish I knew I was right about you!"
"Jerk come on in did you bring the goods?"
"Yeah" he continued to chuckle I jabbed him in the ribs I had scoured thrift shops looking for a green outfit I had dressed up like a leprechaun I had even dyed my hair red through all this I had learned on thing I was never meant to be a red head, but hey all in good fun.
"Did you dye you hair?" he asked
"It'll wash out in a couple of washes" I answered
"Good" he said back to me "you ready to sugar up all the kids in town.
That's when I get a good look at him "Oh no way this is fair" he's wearing scrubs "you said that me dressing in my work uniform was cheating how is this not? You came as a surgeon"
"Bella, Bella, Bella I'm not dressed as a surgeon" he says as he opens the bags of candy and pours them into the candy bowl he'd brought.
"You're not?" I ask
"No ma'am I'm an Intern" he says then crosses his eyes at me
I giggle at him and said "it's still cheating."
Our plans for tonight included handing out candy while watching some scary movies the list included The Messengers, The Orphanage, The Village and A Haunting in Connecticut. In that order. They were all ghost movies except for The Village.
My mom had taken the girls trick-or treating followed by a double feature of kid friendly Halloween movies at the movie theater. Dad was out patrolling the streets and Seth was helping him. It was part of a really cool program called T.O.P teens on patrol basically teen boys worked with the police department they are assigned a specific area in groups of three or four and keep an eye on things on Halloween night they're not allowed to engage just kind of detour people from misbehaving, they have walkie-talkies and let the police know if something is going down, also if the spot lost kids the stay with them so that pervs don't get to them first they contact an officer and he or she finds the kids parents.
We begun our night with The Messengers we took turns answering the door I made him pause the movies every time it was my turn. As The Orphanage came to a close we ran out of treats so I cut off the light.
"Wow did you see that ending coming?" Edward asked me
"No I was as surprised as you."
I put in the next DVD, but before settling down to watch it, I had put a pizza in the oven for our dinner so I asked Edward to take it out while I changed out of my costume I put on an old ratty pair of Seth's basketball shorts and Edward sweatshirt I had pilfered the day of the rainstorm, I also washed my face and put my hair in to a braid when I got back to the TV room. Edward had set the pizza on the coffee table along with some glasses of pumpkin juice in honor of Halloween. As we watched the movie and munched on the pizza I drifted closer and closer to Edward until I was leaning against him I glanced up at him he was eyeballing the last slice of pizza.
I smiled "You want it?"
"We can share it" he responded and held it up to me to take a bite.
I took a bite and smiled at him my heart pounding in my chest the whole time.
He giggled "What?" I asked
"Nothing you have some pizza sauce right there" he said with a smirk and wiped it from the corner of my mouth.
Then without another word he turned back to the TV and took a bite of the pizza.
"You can have the rest" I said.
I plopped my head on Edward's shoulder and settled down to watch the rest of the movie comfortably. Once Edward had finished the pizza he excused himself to wash his hands. When he got back he pulled my head onto his lap and began to run his fingers though my hair I felt myself become boneless one second the main characters where hiding from the "monsters" and the next I'm waking up in my bed.
I had a hazy recollection of my father's voice mixed with Edward's
I was kind of in and out though out the conversation but what I remember was
"Oh your still here?...did the….." said my dad's gruff voice
"….. Charlie. ….. Seth wasn't … you?" Edward's soft voice
"…..dropped him off with Renee….. Is she asleep?"
"Yeah…was just waiting…..to come home ….leave her alone"
"Let….her. I'll put her in her room"
It's….arlie I got her" Edward said as he lifted me up the last I remember is Edward whispering "I don't want to let her go just yet"

Halloween had been wonderful. So were the following weeks Edward and I were now in line waiting to get in to see Held the third movie of the Taken saga I was super psyched the main character was uber cute in fact he kind of remained me of Edward they kind of had the same hair.
I was deep in thought my parents were going to have to go to New Mexico for Thanksgiving to petition for the adoption because that is where they were originally from. So I was on my own for the holiday I wanted to ask Edward what his plans were but once again I was feeling nervous.
I wasn't until we were sitting in the theater that I broached the subject, "So…"
"So?"
"My family is going to be gone for Thanksgiving and I was wondering if you would like to spend the day with me?"
"Oh sorry I can't I promised my mom that I would go home for the holiday I'm sorry this was before we met"
"That's okay" I said shaking my head "I'll just mooch off of Jess and Mike"
"Actually mom wanted to ask if you wanted to join us. I just did not know how to bring it up because I figured that you would want to spend the holiday with your family but if they're not going to be in town then I'm taking you home to meet the rest of the family"
"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude"
"Of course I'm sure mom and Alice are dying to meet you!"
"Okay!"
"So is there any way you could get the week off so we really enjoy our time instead of rushing around?"
"Oh yeah the store closes early Saturday afternoon and does not open until the following Monday after Thanksgiving"
"OK I'll look in to airline tickets and let you know"
"Now that that's settled let's enjoy the movie!"
Next time is Thanksgiving I have big plans for it I hope that someone is still reading this and that I you are that you enjoy it! Sorry it took so long life got away from me.
