ugh, work I hate it so much! I have been working such crazy hours lately that I have been too exhausted to do much of anything, the good news is though that I have been writing. I've been doing it old school with paper and pen on my lunch breaks!
Anyways, I have a bunch of stuff written out, now I just need to type it out and edit so I can post!
So enough of my excuses I need to now thank everyone for the freaking awesome reviews! You all rock something major and I can't tell you all enough how much all the support means to me! The response to the last chapter was amazing and it responses like that make me want to stay up all night while my eyes are burning for sleep to write for all of you! I really mean it when I say thank you because I never expected this kind of response...So THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Disclaimer: NOT MINE!
"What?"
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"Umm…"
Beep, Beep, Beep
I started to slightly hyperventilate and my heart monitor was now going haywire…what the hell is wrong with me?
"Bella, you need to calm down. Your heat monitor is going crazy. Please, Relax."
Hell yeah my heart monitor is going crazy. I just asked Edward freaking Cullen out on a date while I'm lying in a hospital bed.
What if he says no, what if he wouldn't want to date me? What the hell was I thinking?
I wanted to talk to him and maybe backtrack, but my throat was suddenly dry.
In a disgustingly hoarse voice, I was able to ask Edward for some water.
"Umm, water okay, let me get you some water."
"Thank you." And it still came out in the same disgustingly hoarse voice.
While Edward was getting some water for me, I was able to continue my internal chastising.
What the hell is wrong with me, a date, a date, I asked him out on a freaking date when I know he has airport slut.
"Here you go Bella."
"Thank you." And I all but snatched the cup of water out of his hand like I was a dieing person in the middle of the desert.
"How are you feeling now Bella?"
God, I love the way my name sounds coming from his lips.
"Oh, I'm fine now, thank you." But my voice was still hoarse.
I drank what was left of the water in the cup so I had a bit more time to think. I had to think of a way to take back what I asked.
But I had no idea what to say.
Do I want to go out on a date with Edward?
Hell fucking yes I do.
But look at his face, he looks so shocked and like he's thinking really hard.
He's probably thinking of a nice way to turn me down, I mean, after all he does have airport slut waiting for him when he leaves here.
Just back track, blame it on the fainting and hitting your head on the table, he cant blame you for what you said if it is a result of your injury…
Good idea subconscious, just blame it on the fall.
"Oh God listen Edward, I have no idea what came over me, for me to just blurt that out. You must think I'm crazy and I completely understand if you don't want to go out with me, I mean why would you, Edward freaking Cullen, want to go out on a date with plain 'ole boring me, especially when you have beautiful airport slut waiting at home for you. I'm sorry, you'll probably want to leave now so you can go back to airport slut and laugh at the fact that your wife asked you out on a date, Ed…"
"Bella…"
"No, really Edward I understand, I get it, you're the super hot doctor from down in the emergency room and you want someone beautiful on your arm, I get it, I understand…"
"Bella…"
"No Edward, you don't have to try and explain, or try and turn me down nicely, I still don't know why I…"
"Bella be quite!" I was a little shocked by Edward's outburst, but let me tell you, a forceful Edward is defiantly a sexy Edward. And if I hadn't made such an ass out of myself right now and wasn't lying in a hospital bed, I would so jump him.
I also would have continued with my little rant, but the fact that is long, masculine and sexy as hell fingers were covering my mouth to shut me up, I really couldn't find the will to continue telling him he should go back to airport slut.
"Bella, did you mean what you said?"
"Which part?" my question came out so muffled, I'm not sure he was able to understand me.
"The question you asked, about going out on a date, did you mean it?"
I didn't feel like opening my mouth to answer the question because I was pretty sure that if I opened my mouth I would kiss his palm and then take one of his fingers into my mouth and suck on it. So since I couldn't answer I just nodded my head yes.
"And does your offer still stand, after that little speech of yours?"
Again, I was faced with the dilemma of his beautiful fingers covering my mouth and making answering difficult, so I just nodded my head yes again.
"Then yes Bella, I would love to go out on a date with you."
"Really?" my question came out muffled because those glorious fingers were still covering my mouth and I shocked my self by not sucking on one of his fingers.
He nodded yes stealing a page out of my book and not making a move to move his fingers, not that I really had a problem of where they were currently at.
But, unfortunately, he decided to move his fingers…damn.
"Really, you want to go out with me. Cool, so what are you doing tomorrow night?"
I honestly do not know where all the courage was coming from and at the moment, I could have cared less.
He gave that super sexy manly chuckle of his before answering. "Bella, why don't we wait until you have been released from the hospital before we start planning anything."
"Oh, okay." I tried to sound okay with waiting, but a little disappointed that we couldn't start planning right away.
So if we couldn't plan our date I wanted him to stick around so we could chat about something, anything, but I couldn't rack my brain to come up anything suitable to talk about.
While I was still willing my brain to think of a conversation, I noticed that Edward was walking to the other side of the room and opening one of the cabinets. He pulled out one of those pads of papers that pharmaceutical companies are always giving doctors, and he also had the matching pen.
I was still trying to come up with a topic of conversation for us, but I noticed that he was writing something down on the paper.
After he finished writing whatever he was writing he ripped the top sheet of the op of the pad and walked back towards my bed handing it to me.
It read Edward Cullen and underneath that, it had his phone number.
I just totally scored Edward Cullen's digits.
Seriously 'scored his digits' what are we, in the early 90's again.
I don't care how lame that sounds because I have Edwards phone number.
"Call me when you get discharged and are at home nice and safe so I can tell you all about the amazing date you and I are going to go on."
I'm sure I now had the biggest goofiest smile on my face, Edward Cullen was going out on a date with me, plain 'ole boring Bella Sawn, so I was having a hard time caring how stupid of a smile I had on my face right now, life was good.
I wanted to be able to flirt or same something even remotely sexy, but instead of being sexy and confident like I wanted all I could offer up, as a response was a shy okay.
But I guess shy was kind of working for me because he smiled back at me, and not just any smile, that beautiful crooked grin of his that made me smile even more, so much more that it was starting to become painful, but I was gladly accepting the pain.
He stared walking towards the door to pick up a bag I didn't even notice he came in with.
I was a little disappointed that he was leaving now, but I guess I can't keep him locked in here with me forever, no matter how good of an idea it seems like.
He walked back over to my bed with bag in hand and started to speak. "So, I kind of have to go in to work now, I start an 18 hour shift in about half an hour so I need to go down and start getting ready, but if you need anything at all, have your nurse call me and I'll be here as soon as I can, okay?"
"Okay." The better part of me felt slightly guilty for keeping him here with me right before he had to start such a long shift, but the selfish part of me wanted him to stay even longer, or better yet never leave. I knew that wasn't really an option, but hey a girl can wish.
"Get well soon Bella, I want you in perfect health for that date of ours.'
I was able to offer up another shy okay in response to him.
Then, oh god, and then he slowly leaned in to me and kissed my cheek. Before he moved away, he spoke into my ear sending pleasant shivers down my spine.
"Oh and Bella, just so we are perfectly clear, there is no airport slut. As a matter of fact there is no one."
And then he kissed my cheek again, and it slightly sent my heart monitor off again, but all we both did was look at the monitor and slightly laugh.
"Bye Bella."
"Bye Edward."
His goodbye had sounded all calm, cool and collected while mine sounded a small sigh.
But I was okay with that because I got the smile, the beautiful crooked smile of his.
As he walked out the door, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how much I loved that smile.
Next chapter we will see a small apperance from Jake, but no worries, everything will be fine! (For now) lol!
So lets make those Cullen Men Happy again and Review!
