Chapter 5
A stupid day with Edward
I stretched and gasped when I touched someone. I opened my eyes and gasped to see Edward sleeping BESIDE ME!
I punched his arm. He quickly opened his eyes then frowned…
"What the hell? What was that for?" He said and blinked. I sat and he copied me.
"You tell me! Why are you at my room?" I was already shouting.
"Your room?" He said it like he can't believe any word I said.
"Yeah" Is he stupid? I looked around then got startled. I'm in his room…how the hell I ended up waking at his room!
"Don't freak out. Lemme explain" He said but I already jumped off his bed. He stopped me by clutching my wrist. I tried to pull it off from his but he didn't let go.
"What happened?" I asked and he sighed…I sat at the bed and he let go of my wrist.
"You collapsed last night…you had a fever" He put his palm on my forehead before speaking again.
"I'm glad your fever subsides now" He said.
"Why am I at your house? And I had fever?" I can't believe him. Is he telling a sick joke?
He didn't spoke. Maybe he's letting me recall my memory…
What I remember is I'm at school and at detention…oh. Yeah…I went here to apologize then everything came back in my mind like a replay.
"Why did I have a fever?" I asked him.
"You're so tired the whole day you were at school but you made yourself walk in the rain. You're dropping wet here and you didn't even asked to change your clothes. And Alice also said you didn't ate anything at lunch which made you faint"
"Ohh…wait, where's Alice?"
"She's at your house"
"But you said she said-" I said and he quickly cut me off.
"I called her. After the doctor checking you up, I asked her to go here. She did…but she said she can't sleep here. She said she promised to stay at Jasper's. She asked me to let you sleep here until today"
"What the heck? She said those?" My eyes must be so big right now. How can she even let me sleep with this guy? ARGH!
"Yep" He said.
I glanced down…why am I not cold? Then I got shocked. This weren't my clothes last night…I looked at Edward suspiciously. He seemed to read my expression then got alert.
"Chillax…Alice changed your clothes…not me okay?"
I sighed when he said those words.
"I wish it was me" He murmured quietly but teasingly at me. I punched him again in his arm.
"Shut up" I told him.
"I'm so shocked at what happened yesterday. We were just talking then you collapsed, actually we're really not talking. I didn't know if I should scream or run for help and let you stay alone here or maybe call an ambulance" He said then he chuckled. What does he mean by we're really not talking?
"Rosalie knocked in the door and I asked her to call a doctor. She's so freaked out! It's hilarious…I called your sister after the doctor checked you up"
"Okay…whoah wait a minute. What time is it?"
"It's 9" He said coolly.
"9? WHAT?" I shouted and he covered his ears.
"Can you please stop shouting? It's annoying!"
"Shut up! Why didn't you wake me up! I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL!" I was so freaked out! Gosh! My grades!
"You're sick! You can't go to school yet"
"What? Are you my parent now?" I stood up and looked for my shoes but I found my slippers. I'm wearing a damn pajamas and a tank top! GOSH! ALICE!
"You look cute" He murmured, ignoring my questions.
"I have to go home…I need to attend classes"
I was about to open his door when he stopped me.
"Stop freaking out okay? I already called the principal. I told him that you're sick and you can't go to school today. If you're worrying about you're grades, no need to worry. The teachers are going to give you exemption and so am i"
"Exemption?"
"Yep"
"I just don't get it…if I'm the one who is sick, why do they have to include you to be exempted?" I asked.
"I think that's my secret, you know" He said.
"Say it" I'm totally curious why the hell they included him. How come I can't do that?
"I told the principal, I have to take care of you"
"WHAT? ARE YOU INSANE? DO YOU THINK HE WON'T THINK WE ARE TOGETHER?"
"Aren't we together today?" He said.
"That's not what I meant idiot! What I'm trying to say is, don't you think the principal thought I'm your girlfriend!"
"Who cares? Besides, if he thinks we are…he wouldn't talk to everyone just to say it"
"Really? Because from what I heard, our principal is very talkative!"
"Can you please chillax? You're irritating when you keep on shouting"
I sighed and breathe. He's right….I have to chill.
"Talk to him tomorrow. Tell him you're lying…or whatever"
"Not gonna happen. I'm exempted!"
"Please Edward! Please!"
"Let's not talk about that…How bout let's talk about last night"
"What about it?" I asked.
"I like it when you got fever"
"What?"
"Stop asking me please! It's killing me! All you do is ask and ask!"
"Just tell me!"
"And stop shouting! I'm just right here!" He said.
"Fine" I crossed my arms.
"You cried last night…and keeps on saying sorry. Are you really that affected that I don't talk to you much?"
"Ohh" I blushed. He's unfair! He knows how sorry I am and he's making fun of it.
"Let's forget it alright? I'm gonna have a premiere this Saturday. Do you mind being my date?"
"I thought you said keep the 'us-rumor' down?"
"Fine, I know someone who wants to be with me"
"Good for you. And I already had a date?"
He frowned. "Date?"
Then he laughed.
"What's funny with that?" I asked.
"Someone wants to date you? Hahaha…is he a nerd? A Geek? I bet his blind"
"Shut up!" But he keeps on laughing.
"It's Jacob black!" I told him and he stopped.
"What?"
"You heard me"
He didn't spoke.
But something ruined the moment. My stomach! He heard it and he laughed quietly.
"You haven't eaten something since lunch yesterday" He said then he stood up.
He pressed a button which is located near his lamp. Then seconds later, someone knocked at the door.
"Come in" He shouted and the maid entered the room. She smiled at us.
"Just put it in the study table Marie…thank you" Edward politely said.
The girl is about my age and a blonde! I wonder why Edward knew her name.
"Anything you need young master?" She said smilingly. I watched Edward smiled back at her and shook his head.
"Have a nice day" The maid said then went out.
I thought Edward is a rude person. HE FLIPS ME OFF WHEN WE FIRST MET WITHOUT A REASON! And know…from what I saw is hugely different!
Or he's only nice at that girl…only at her?
"I know you're hungry, eat" He said and I sat at the chair.
I ate the waffles and he did too. There is also pancake and hot chocolate…can't believe I'm so hungry! I never had been this hungry before!
"Thanks" I said, wiping chocolate in my lower lip with a tissue.
He didn't answer, he just held my hand.
"It's not free"
"What?" Gosh! I knew it!
"I said…it's not free. You owe me"
"Fine. What do you need?"
"You know I'm having a hard time talking with you when you have a chocolate in your lower lip"
I immediately licked my lip.
Whoah…why the heck did I do that? For him? Heck no! It's because of the chocolate!
He suddenly leaned to me like he's going to kiss me! I pushed him back and he laughed.
"Do you really think I'm going to kiss you?" He said…
"Aren't you?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why did you lean on to me?"
"I'm just going to help you get the chocolate away from your lip"
"I don't understand"
"I'm going to use my lip…you know" He smiled teasingly.
I punched his arm and he only laughed more.
"That's called kiss! You moron!"
"No it's not" He said then he chuckled.
"I don't know what your definition with kiss is but to me…it is!"
"You are so hot tempered today…is that a result of having a fever" He said.
He's right. I'm too moody today.
"Maybe because I saw your face"
"Hmmm?"
"I hate you! Stop treating me like someone you can make fun into whenever it crosses your mind! You told me to stay away from you at public"
He frowned like he didn't understand me. "I did. I didn't looked or even spoke to you" He reminded me of what happened yesterday.
"But I didn't told you not to talked to me after it"
"We've been through this yesterday remember? I told you…I'm trying to be good"
"Well if you do, then don't ignore me ONLY when we are at your house"
"Deal" He said then he smiled.
I stood up and he looked at me curiously. "What are you going to do next?"
"Home" I said.
"Nope, You can't…I told Alice I'll drop you by at your house when she is already done with school"
"Why did you do that?"
"I can't let you go home…what if you got your fever back huh?"
"That's none of your business…Anyway, thanks for getting me checked up and letting me sleep here and the free breakfast but I really wanted to go home!"
"Go home? I told you, you can't. You have to stay with me since you owe me"
"Just before Alice go home?"
"Of course"
"Okay"
"Marie! Get the food!" Edward shouted and in less than a minute, the maid is already inside, getting the tray.
I climbed into Edward's bed and lie down. Then I buried my face at his pillow. I can even hear Edward talking to Marie.
"Marie, is mom home?"
"No young master, she's with your Dad this morning. They told me to tell you that you should drive Ms. Bella home"
What? HIS PARENTS KNEW I SLEPT HERE? This is trouble and embarrassing!
"Does my sister go to school?"
"Yes"
"Where's Luce?"
"With your mom and dad too"
"Okay thanks"
"Ohh young master, I'm really happy you found someone like her"
"Huh?"
"Ms. Bella is very beautiful and she looks polite"
Edward chuckled.
"We're really not together you know…"
"What? I thought-"
"Yeah but we're not"
"You still want Tanya?" How come this maid can ask Edward these things?
"Yes"
"Why don't you like Bella?"
"She's loud"
"Loud?"
"She always shouts and she's always mad at me besides, I don't want replacement for Tanya"
"But you two are not together anymore"
"Tanya will be back for me"
"How did you know?"
"I just knew" He said.
I waited for them to say something again but it stayed quiet. I only heard a door opened and closed…which means, Marie is already gone.
Edward…really loves Tanya so much. He still doesn't move on to what happened between them…
Moments later, I wanted to open my eyes to look what Edward is doing but I just don't want to talk to him anymore. We're just going to fight!
I suddenly feel someone lie down beside me. It's Edward for sure.
He put his arms around my waist. I had my back to him but I don't care.
"You really are sleeping?" He asked and I didn't spoke.
"You know Bella…I'm thankful to have your company even though you're always mad at me and I knew you hate me but sometimes I forget my problems and Tanya because of you. Thank you" He whispered at my ear.
I wanted to talk to him but hey, what if he's just making fun of me? What if he really knew I'm not sleeping?
"I just can't believe you said yes to Jacob…I'm totally curious of what he did to make you say yes"
He said.
Haha Edward…Haha.
I didn't even know why…
Moments later, it stayed quiet. I slowly raised my head and looked at him…he's sleeping already.
Then his phone buzz. I immediately buried my head in the pillow.
He moved then I heard him get his phone on his pocket. He looked at it then I heard a groan.
I pretended I got distracted because of him…I stretched then opened my eyes.
"Edward?"
"Please don't tell me you forgot everything this morning…it's been only minutes"
"Of course I don't"
I sat up and looked at his phone. It's a picture…and before I can even look at it, he pulled it out.
"What is it?"
"Promise me you won't shout at my ear"
"Promise"
But instead of making me see the picture, he took his remote control and opened the TV.
Edward Cullen seen with a girl at his room. Pictures and sources say it was the same girl he held hands days before last night. Does Edward really moved on and dating Isabella Swan?
Then they showed pictures of me and Edward speaking last night…He had his glass window opened…
Sources also said that these two skipped classes today because Isabella is sick and Edward is taking care of her.
What the heck? How does the paparazzi knew everything already!
"Do you know anything about this?" I asked him. I'm dead! This is worst than being alone the whole year! I hate being popular and the eye of attention!
"No, but let me talk with someone" Edward said and dialed his phone.
"Hello? Yes…What? How did you let them? The pictures! DO something! No! She's not my girlfriend! Yes…No that's not it! Sure okay, I tried! What? Fine Fine!" It seems like he's arguing with someone. He ended the phone and spoke.
"I'm talking to my manager"
"Okay"
"You seemed relax"
"I'm trying my best not to freak out…how did they knew?"
"I don't really know. The only person I told about is your sister, my family…our principal"
"Principal" We both said immediately.
"But do you think he'll say it to media just for us to be on news?"
"Of course…when you give information to paparazzi, they pay you"
"So much for being exempted" I murmured.
"Look I'm sorry Bella…but tomorrow is the premiere of my movie. Since you have a date with Jacob, people and the media will get confused. They'll ask you why you are with Jacob and not me…are we really dating or not. Things like that…Just tell them no comment. Don't say anything or it will only make the news go worst"
"I hate your life…camera's and stuffs!"
We both became quiet. Weird. I didn't freaked out.
"Bella, let's change topic okay? This is stressing" He said and I nodded.
"I bought a house"
"Really? For what?" I know he distracted me easily but I'm really curious.
"I wanted to experience living without my parents"
"Why?"
"I just wanted to do things my own way"
"Well, where is it located at?"
"Just here in this town, beside the beach. It's really big and far from people. It's peaceful…I haven't really seen it but I bought it to a girl"
"That sounds like your house is near mine. Mine is also beside the beach"
"Oh well maybe we're going to be neighbors"
"Oh please! I saw you from morning to evening…please don't make my weekdays be yours too" I said and we both laughed.
"I'm gonna sleep there tomorrow night" He mumbled.
"Really? That's great!"
"Want to see it?"
"Maybe on Monday. I'll just go straight to my house after the premiere tomorrow"
"Do you already have a dress? I mean…I don't want you to look-" He said but I immediately cut him off.
"Jacob said it would be on my house today"
"Ohh"
Then we came back to the silence again. He didn't spoke and I didn't too. I just don't know what to say…
Edward stood up and opened his TV.
He sat at the couch while I frowned. Now what?
His phone rang and he answered it.
"Yeah…okay. It's nothing, I'll drive her safely to your house when you got home this afternoon" He mumbled.
Who is 'her'? It is me? Or any other girl? Who is he talking to?
"Who is that?" I asked.
"Hmmm"
That's the only reply I will hear from him? HMMM?
"You jealous?" He asked…
"No! Of course not!"
"You are"
"I don't even care about who you're talking to…I'm just curious"
"It's Alice"
"My sister? Why?"
"She said if I can drive you to your house later after school hours. She's dead worried"
"Ohh, why didn't you let me talked to her?"
"She didn't asked for you"
I didn't argue anymore. He's so stupid! I HATE HIM!
We continued not-talking to each other until lunch…I hate talking to him. Every word that came out on his mouth made me mad! We ate lunch at the dining room with Luce and his mom. After it, we stayed again in his room but now, he's too busy. He keeps on answering phone calls for his job. Job being an actor…
Oh, and he called Tanya. While watching Television, I heard him call her.
"Are you at school?" he asked.
"Yeah…I uhmm, do you already have a date tomorrow for the premiere?" He asked again…
"Cool, I'll pick you up 7, What? No…Bella isn't my date. It's not like that" He said. Why the hell my name became they're topic?
I frowned.
Why does this Edward ruining my mood? Why am I letting him? Why can't he ruin any other girls out there who is willing to? Why me? Of all person? Me, who hates him so much?
"Come on Bella, I'll drive you home"
I didn't notice him standing in front of me. He just held my hand and I tried to pull my hand out but he wouldn't let me.
ARgh!
