"You're moving in here?" I asked in a shocked tone.
"There aren't any other apartment buildings in this town, unless you know of some I don't know of," he answered.
He walked over to his bike again and began to remove the leather jacket. I focused my attention on the motorcycle and saw the detail of a dragon sketched on the side with chrome mirrors and chrome wheels and handle bars. Is that what they're called on a motorcycle? I had no idea but it sounded right in my head. I heard Carlisle call Edward from around the back of the truck and my attention went up to Edward again. I sucked in a surprised breath when I noticed Edward had removed the leather jacket and now stood in front of me in nothing but a pair of jeans and a tight, grey t-shirt. On his arms were a couple tattoos I didn't notice when I was in the ER. I couldn't get a good enough look to see what they were though because he turned away from us and headed towards the back of the moving van where Carlisle was.
I listened as Carlisle and Edward talked about what needed to be unloaded first from the truck. I wanted to move closer to listen and find out exactly which apartment he was moving into, but I was suddenly reminded Alice still stood next to me when she yanked on my arm.
"I really need to get going," she reminded. I walked her back over to her car and gave her a hug goodbye.
"I'll see you tomorrow at work," I said.
"No, you'll call me later tonight to fill me in on your new neighbor," she argued. I laughed and rolled my eyes at her. She knew I would even if she didn't tell me to.
"I will," I promised as she started up her car and put it into reverse.
"Have fun with your new neighbor," she teased as she started to pull away. "And you might want to change into something a little more appropriate."
Her words hit me and my eyes quickly darted down to what I was wearing; my pink lettered "Kiss Me" flannels. Oh, God, I thought to myself. I was mortified and didn't know how I was going to get past Edward and Carlisle without either of them seeing me in my pajamas again.
I waited on the side of the truck until I could find a good time to dart towards my front door and sneak in. While I waited though, another car pulled up taking Alice's old parking spot.
"Hi, Bella. How are you?" Esme asked stepping out of the unfamiliar car.
"Hi, Esme," I greeted reluctantly. "I'm doing well. How are you?"
"Wonderful," she said elatedly. Both Carlisle and Edward came around to the side of the truck where Esme and I were.
"Did she give you any trouble?" Edward asked of Esme.
"No, she was perfectly fine the whole way," she said. I scrunched up my eyebrows and looked around to make sense of what they were talking about. Esme slid into the back seat of the car and pulled out a Siamese cat. She looked old and a little irritated with Esme holding her. Edward quickly walked over and took her from Esme to comfort her. Even being a few feet away from them, I could still hear the cat purring and snuggling into Edward's arms.
While Esme and Carlisle were focused on Edward and the cat, I took my chance to sneak away to avoid anymore embarrassment.
I was almost to my door when I heard my name. "Oh, Bella," Edward called out. I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around to face him. All three of them were looking up at me with amused expressions. "I'm glad to see you're taking it easy after your accident last night." I smiled and nodded my head just as I placed my hand on my doorknob. "I really like your PJ's, too."
