Chapter 44
"Just get me out of this misery and tell me when you and Bella started… you know!"
"Okay, I'll skip a bit, because I know you wouldn't be interested in Tanya's story. Just in summary, Tanya moved in with her aunt in New York that year, just before school started. It coincidentally happened around the time she confessed her insecurities to her parents. They didn't take it well."
"Oh, poor kid... now, to the part when you take Bella to your first date. When was it? Why wasn't I aware of it?"
Edward's ears turned a little pink. "It kind of didn't happen that way."
"Edward, don't go getting shy with me. I've heard everything about you, even about the time you got food poisoning from that sushi restaurant and thought you'd contracted those meat-eating bacteria that were eating your intestines because you'd had raw fish."
"Hey! That was a real possibility!"
"Yeah, right."
"Okay, okay. Fine... Bella and I. Us. It just happened spontaneously. One second we were in a discussion that headed out of control, and in the other one I'd silenced her lips with mine."
This time, the pinkness reached even his neck when Alice started making her "awwww's"
Who else wants to be shut up?
Edward's apparently an expert on that. ;)
