Chapter 9
Apparently, lunch would be on "the kid's" account. Esme had to run a few errands before chaos started in her kitchen, but "the kids" where starving already. And we meant Emmett, we always mean him.
After like a hundred "rock-paper-scissors" matches, it became obvious that, in charge of lunch, was Bella.
"I say we do it again!" Exclaimed Bella, but everyone else just groaned and sent her to the kitchen. People where hungry, but not willing to cook. "THEN I CALL MOTHER EFFING PIZZA!" She exclaimed and reached for the phone.
No one complained, but they knew that the next one in the same situation would have to get creative. We're talking a whole week here, it had only been one day and the pizza option had been banned for everyone else; unspoken rules and all that.
Pizza arrived twenty-nine minutes later and they all groaned when it happened… You can never stop hoping to beat the thirty minutes or less warranty. "Maybe next time."
It had only happened once before and they'd scared the mother out of the poor delivery guy. Twelve pizzas, breadsticks, sodas and what-not would have been like half the salary of the pimply kid. One minute and twenty-five seconds late. After ten minutes of acting like they were not gonna pay, they burst into laughter and paid the guy his money. They probably made him piss his pants a bit. They were dying to do it again.
Lunch went by in a relaxed fashion, a funny story thrown once or twice, shared jokes and playful banter between friends. Alice watched a certain Miss Denali with rapt attention, noticing every single shift or gesture. She had always been the perceptive one, but this once her sixth sense was failing her. She was sure there was something more than what was being left to the sight; something was off. Every interaction between Tanya and Edward was warm and familiar, but Edward seemed to be sending some kind of nervous energy.
Her head was beginning to ache from being on edge since she first saw him come in with her; since she had been trying to decipher the mystery in this surprise visit. She knew everyone was dying to talk about it, but no one had had the guts to do it since it would seem rude to get caught gossiping, and Esme would have been scolding them for turning her Christmas celebration into a "soccer mom club session". With a sigh she finished her last bite of pizza and tried to forget this whole thing for a while; there was nothing she could do… Not yet anyway.
"I say we watch home alone bitches! Get in the Christmas spirit and all!" Boomed Emmett as he made a beeline for the huge TV in the living room. Rose, Jasper, Alice, and Bella followed the cheesiest guy ever, while Edward went for a much needed shower and Kate and Tanya claimed to need to rest for a while before Esme came back.
(I'm sorry you guys, I didn't want any misinterpretations... I re-wrote the end of this chapter.)
