CHAPTER 12: technology
I was yet again checking my Facebook account, these things were so addictive! I never saw any of the other Cullen's on theirs; I wondered how they even coped. How could they not go even 10 minutes without going and checking for status updates or new pictures? Over the past couple of days I had got many friends requests from people in my old year at Forks high. Word travelled like a bullet around this thing, how did they all find my profile? I saw the red sign flash up and went to click "friend request" and saw the name Mike Newton. I looked at it then couldn't help a little smirk. I spent a couple of seconds debating whether or not to accept, and then decided to click 'not now' this decision would take some thought.
Nessie came into the room and flung herself onto my lap.
"Mommy?" she asked looking at the computer screen "Can I get one of these….Facebook accounts?" she asked dramatically squinting her eyes at the screen.
I laughed. Oh how she could make my day sometimes. "Darling, I think they might be a bit old for you" I told her, but knew that apart from our family she didn't really know anyone else. She hadn't really had any other friends because there was nobody like her.
She sighed and went back to whined Edward up about it, begging him to let her have one. I was sure he had sent her over to me in the first place, to get rid of the whining. I chuckled.
I went onto Edwards profile and typed a message Two can play at this game…J
I laughed and then instantly saw a reply Yes but the matter is I know who will win
I shook my head in mock horror as I typed I thought we were both fighting on the same answer?
I Laughed as there wasn't a response and went to go through to see Edward. Nessie was pulling at his shirt , annoyed.
"Renesmee, when your older I promise you can have one. But not now" I told her sternly
"Fine!" she backed off.
I beamed at Edward as he noted my child-discipline methods.
"Edward, I need to talk to you about something. I was going to ask Alice if she would come shopping with me, I want to see the new town, and was thinking you and Renesmee could have a little bonding time?" I asked sweetly
"Yes Bella, of course. You didn't need to ask my permission to go. I would love to spend time with Renesmee!" he smiled
"Oh, I wasn't asking your permission" I replied cheekily.
He smirked then I went to go upstairs to arrange it with Alice, I opened the door and saw Alice pinning some material together.
"Ummm, Alice? I was wondering if tomorrow you could go shopping with me around the Town; see what kind of shops there are around here. You never know. You might find some designer shops around here!" I told her
"Sure, Bella. Yes! What a great idea. I need to look what's out in the window shopping section to see what sort of styles are in at the moment. And of course…to get a whole new load of clothes" she smiled.
I went over to the computer Alice was working on and looked at the site "What's that?" I asked her
"I have been researching some English designers I want to give some ideas to, Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, Jack Wills, Ralph Lauren, stuff like that really. There really big in England and people over there are willing to spend a lot of money with things with someone's name on" she smiled.
I smiled at her and slowly crept out the door, not liking where this conversation was going. I liked fashion, of course, but I really didn't want to spend 45 minutes or more talking about which Jimmy choo heels are better.
EPOV:
I looked over at Bella who was reading her book again. I could still hear Renesmee dreams in my mind. I got up and went over to get ready for the day. I went in the walk in wardrobe and picked out a pair of black skinny jeans with a black V-neck top and some converse. I went to go wake Renesmee up as I noticed Bella was deciding to get up as well.
Our baby looked so cute, tucked up in her little princess bed. I didn't want to wake her up but I supposed it was time, really. I gently patted her little arm and her cute little brown eyes flew open.
"Morning Nessie" I smiled
"Morning Daddy!" she giggled back enthusiastically
"You need to get dressed and ready for breakfast, okay?" I told her
"Yes daddy! Because I am spending a whole day with you!" she told me, excited.
I chuckled and left her to get ready. I went into the kitchen and saw Bella, my beautiful wife, sitting on the table staring at me. I smiled
I went over to the oven and placed a frying pan on the stove and put the oil in. I got out the pancake mix and poured it in adding the chocolate chips as I went. I wasn't a good cook, I couldn't tell to be honest, but in my human years people never complained.
I served it up on a dish then smiled as Renesmee tucked in licking her lips. Bella seemed smug, guessing it was to do with my cooking I smiled, proud of myself.
