I was awaken hours later by the sunlight penetrating my closed eyes and birds chirping outside my window. I was lying on my stomach and I really didn't have the courage to open my eyes yet because I knew that would be the start of my day and I would have to face the reality of seeing him again. I opened my eyes; however it was kind of difficult because my eyes burned so badly from crying so much last night or rather earlier this morning. I sat up and looked at body noticing I had a fleece blanket on me. I know I didn't put it on me because I just flopped on my bed last night and cried myself to sleep. Maybe Rose checked on me last night because I know Alice was probably busy with Jasper.
I walked into the bathroom and I looked a hot fucking mess. My hair looked like a bird's nest, maybe that's the reason they were outside my window. My eyes were red and I had dried tears on my face. Aren't I fucking beautiful. Well...I'm not going to sulk all damn day. I'm on a mini vacation in a beautiful location so I'm going to make the best of it given the circumstances.
I first brushed my teeth, showered, and after my shower I decided to take some black yoga pants and a white cami out my suitcase to wear for the time being. I noticed it was only 9:00 in the morning and I know no one else is up this morning, so I guess I will make breakfast if there's anything in the fridge.
The house was so eerily quiet and I still couldn't get over how beautiful the cabin looked. I walked over to the fridge to inspect whether there was anything in there I can cook for breakfast. Surprisingly, the fridge was fully stocked with all of the ingredients I needed. I love cooking because it puts my mind at ease. And so I began to mix the eggs, some pancake batter, and fry some bacon. I kind of had a hard time figuring out how much to cook because I never really cooked for this many people and for more than one guy other than my dad. Plus, Emmett looked like he could eat at least ten strips of bacon on his own. I was just about finished with washing strawberries when Emmett and Rosalie walked in the room.
"Mmm...Bella it smells so good in here. Thank you for making breakfast."
"No prob Rose. You two can go on and start eating."
"Did you make your famous pancakes?" Rose asked.
"Yep."
"Thanks Bella. I was starving," Emmett said while loading his plate.
"Emmett you ate like thirty hot wings last night. How can you be starving?" Rose inquired shaking her head.
"Rosie baby I'mma growing man," he said giving her a dimpled smile.
"Whatever trash compactor."
"I love you two my pretty little ball buster."
"Okay kiddies that's enough, go on and eat," I knew those two could go on for hours.
"Yes mother!" They said in unison and looked at each other with a frown when they did so.
I just shook my head and giggled.
I was preparing my plate when Jasper and Alice walked in hand and hand. Alice looked super relaxed and freshly fucked. She wasn't her perky bubbly self. She actually looked as if she was high…..Jasper high.
"Who cooked breakfast?" Jasper asked.
"I did!" Emmett yelled sitting at the table.
"Ow," Rose smacked him in the back of his head.
"Quit lying nimrod. You probably don't even know how to turn an oven on," Rose scolded him.
"I know how to turn you on."
"You're so lame Emmett McCarty."
"Bella cooked breakfast sweetie and she makes the best pancakes. I will prepare your plate just sit down," Alice said.
"Thank honey," Jasper replied giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Okay you two are seriously giving me a toothache with how sweet you are," I said.
At that moment he walked in looking haggard but still sexy. I didn't know that can even be possible but he makes it happen. He had on a white tank and gray sweats and bare feet. He looked as if he was sleep walking. I tried my best to looked relaxed and eat my breakfast as if I wasn't fazed at all by his presence.
"Cullen!" Emmett yelled.
"Damn Em take it down a notch," Edward said while pouring himself a cup of coffee. He made himself breakfast and the only chair available at the table was beside me.
I didn't turn my head at all in his direction. We were sitting at the table like one big happy family...right.
I turned to my left a little and Edward was seriously scarfing down his food and moaning.
"These pancakes are seriously good. They taste like fucking IHop!" Edward said. I just held my head down.
Jasper looked at Edward, "I know. Bella thanks for making breakfast. And how can you possibly be single?" Jasper asked embarrassing the hell out of me.
I looked at him, "Um-"
Rose interrupted, "Bella is like border patrol. She's not letting any fuckers in! Literally...and pun is definitely intended." Everyone chuckled except Edward.
"Rose shut up," I mumbled.
She kept going, "Hell...she wouldn't even let me in!" All the guys dropped their utensils and stopped chewing and they looked at Rose to continue.
"Say what?" Emmett said.
"Yeah the other day I asked her did she want me to lick her lollipop and she said I'm not her type!"
"Rose!" I shouted.
Edward started coughed profusely and Emmett was bouncing in his chair wagging his eyebrows. Alice and Jasper just laughed. I was so red in the face at that point.
"So continue on Rosie," Emmett said.
"Okay, that's enough. You're seriously embarrassing Bella," Alice saved me from further embarrassment.
I needed to change the subject fast, "So what are we doing today?"
"Well Bella you remember we said we're going shopping today!" Alice eyes beamed. I just slouched down in my chair wishing I never said anything.
"Why do we have to go shopping Alice?" I didn't understand why we had to shop if we packed clothes. It didn't make sense at all.
"Because Jasper said that there's a hot club in this city that we have to go to tonight and you know we gotta check out some dresses."
"But I packed dresses remember Alice," I didn't want to go shopping at all.
"Oh…you're talking about the dress Rose bought you for your birthday! Well, that's not new."
"But I haven't worn it yet!" Everyone's head was going back and forth like a tennis match.
"That's not the point Bella!" Alice said in sing song voice.
"Well…what's the point Alice?" I seriously didn't get her logic.
"The point is Bella is that we're in a new city going to a hot new club so you gotta have on a hot new dress so you can get a hot man….case closed." She looked at me as if I was dumb for not understanding her silly little logic.
I sigh and rolled my eyes, "Can you help me Rose?"
"Well you two," Alice and I was both looked at her. "I personally would prefer to buy a new dress from a boutique today but Alice, Bella never worn the dress and her ass looked good in it," I squinted as she made the last statement.
"Thanks Rose," I gave Rose a cheerful smile, "but seriously you're beginning to creep me out with the flirtation," I joked.
"I'm not," Emmett said.
"Whatever Bella. If you want to wear an old outfit…fine!" Alice looked like an angry Chihuahua.
"I win!" I raised my orange juice glass winking at her to further piss her off.
"Women," Edward said under his breath shaking his head. I wasn't going to respond to him but I knew someone else would.
"What did you say?" Rose asked leaning forward on her elbows.
Edward looks at her with a challenging eye, "I said women. Only women would sit around arguing about meaningless shit such as dresses at ten in the morning. Some people breakfast discussion is about something of substance such our shitty healthcare system in America, endless war on terrorism, and poverty. But I have to sit here and listen to this." Everyone at the table became uncomfortably quiet.
"Edward," Jasper said in a warning tone.
"No it's okay Jasper," Rose said continuing on, "Well, Edward I don't know you that well but I apologize if my friends and I are not up to your distinguished caliber. But we are well aware that our country is in economic strife or that many lives has been lost due to the war on terrorism. I don't know about anyone else but I don't think it's appropriate to have a round table discussion about such issues being that we ladies are on vacation meeting new people to have a good time. But if you would like to have such discussion maybe you should have that discussion with those bimbos you were with last night. I'm sure they can offer you that meaningful deep discussion you're in search for."
"Maybe they can," Edward said staring at Rose taking a sip of his coffee while looking bored.
"I doubt it honey."
"You don't know that. You're only judging them by their appearance and how is that fair?"
"Right…just like how I shouldn't judge you and say you're pompous and rude. And how I noticed you haven't enough decency to even say thank you to Bella for getting up to make breakfast for everyone but yet you're scarfing it down."
"When do you leave again?" Edward asked still looking disinterested.
"Look yo-"
Jasper interrupted her, "Hey how about we all take a ride on the boat?"
"Not interested," Edward pushed away from the table with his chair scrubbing against the hard wood floor loudly and then he made his grand exit.
"Dickhead," Rose spat.
"Rose!" Alice scolded her.
"Are you ready to go on that boat ride?" Jasper asked.
"Sure sweetie," Alice responded.
"Well…that certainly was an entertaining breakfast," Emmett said while placing his plate in the sink, "Thanks again Bella Boo."
"I can't wait to see you that bikini Rosie!" Emmett yelled walking to his room.
"Oh brother," Rose smiled.
"You're coming on the boat ride Bella?" Alice asked.
"I'm just going to stay here and straighten up the kitchen."
"I'll stay and help," Rose said.
"No…you two go on and you will cook breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Are you sure Bella?" Alice gave me puppy dog eyes, "We can clean when we get back."
"I'm positive Alice. You two go on okay."
"Alright…we'll go change. Come on Rose." Rose was looking at me as if she was worried.
Minutes later the girls left with the guys in a really flashy speed boat while I cleared all the dishes. After cleaning the kitchen I decided to go in my room for awhile to relax. However, I was shocked when I saw Edward in my room sitting on my bed with the paper I gave him in his hand.
"What are you doing in here Edward," I asked.
"We need to talk," he said softly.
"About what?"
He stood up, "About there's been a huge misunderstanding."
