Previously in Chapter 5
He looked at me with those beautiful golden eyes and smiled. He then put his arm around my shoulder and tucked me in towards his chest. I then felt the exhaustion take over me. So I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
I woke up way too comfortable. I fluttered my eyes open and saw the alarm clock glowing in my face. It was a little after 8 P.M.. I realized that I had been moved from downstairs to my bed. I was tucked in with the covers over me. I closed my eyes and rolled onto my back, stretching. I opened my eyes to find Edward sitting in the chair across the room.
"Edward!" I gasped, jumping a little. "You scared me! Wha- why are you here?"
"I carried you up here. You were out cold", he said with amusement in his tone.
"Yeah…5 hours ago. You could have left you know."
"Yeah I could of." I was so confused.
"And why didn't you?" I asked crossing my arms.
"I didn't want to." I raised my eyebrow at him. I was even more confused now.
"And why didn't you want to leave?" He looked at me for a moment and then looked down to his hands.
"That is a good question Bella. I don't know…" His voice trailed off. I knew he had a reason for staying. And I was going to go right into asking him but was interrupted by the growling sound of my stomach. Edward looked back up to me smiling.
"Hungry?" He asked with a small chuckle.
"Yeah a little. Is there even food in this house? I mean none of you eat so…"
"Don't worry about that Bella. Esme and Alice went to the store and picked up a few things for you."
"That must have been fun for them", I said laughing. Edward laughed with me.
"Yeah. You should of seen them, they were excited to go grocery shopping. You know, its not everyday a vampire needs to go shop for food."
"Yeah I guess your right. But just so you know, not all food taste great to me. So they better not have screwed up." Edward laughed again.
"Alice used her visions to help choose the right foods for you, don't worry. You half-human, half-vampires are interesting. Where does all that food go anyway after you eat it, I mean you don't use the bathroom or anything."
"That's a good question, and I've spent the last 200 years trying to figure it out. Sarah has this theory that we do have venom, even though we can't use it. She thinks the venom helps dissolve the food in our stomachs. I don't know, its confusing."
"Hmm. Ok, so what about hunting. You know drinking blood? How does that work with you?"
"That's another interesting question. I do crave blood like any other normal vampire, but I don't crave it as often. Vampires, normally, have that constant burning, itching sensation in their throat. Even though it may not be very irritating at the time, its still there right?" I asked Edward. He nodded. "I get that sensation to, but only at the time when I need to hunt. It's like a warning almost. It doesn't happen often When I feel the burning, I know I need to hunt. Right now, I don't feel it. I only feel my stomach grumbling, is the food here already?"
"Yes Bella, they left a little after you fell asleep. Lets go downstairs", Edward said getting up out of the his chair. I stretched for one last time and crawled out of bed and headed out the door, following Edward. We got to the bottom of the stairs when Edward suddenly froze.
"Oh no", Edward said laughing. He then turned around to look at me, smiling. "It's a war zone in the kitchen, are you ready?"
"What do you mean a war zone?" I asked
He laughed again, "Oh you'll see."
"Is everyone in there cooking me dinner?"
"No only Alice and Emmett. Everyone else went out to hunt for a bit." Edward turned around and led me toward the kitchen. When we got there, I couldn't believe my eyes. It really was a war zone. It looked like they were trying to fix me a hamburger. There was food everywhere. I just shook my head and started to laugh uncontrollably.
"Honestly you guys", I said trying to control my laughter, "it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to make a hamburger. I could cook my own hamburger by the time I was three years old. Seriously, this is just pathetic."
"Hey!" Emmett said, turning around and pointing the spatula at me. "We worked our butts off on this gourmet meal."
"Oh yeah", I said laughing even harder now, "nothing says gourmet meal like a hamburger." Everyone in the room was laughing now, even Emmett.
"Bella, do you want cheese on this?" Emmett asked, pointing his spatula towards the hamburger.
"Yeah, but let me do it please. There is enough damage done." Emmett nodded and handed me the spatula. I flipped my burger over once more to make sure it was done and then added the cheese. I put the burger on the bun and added the condiments. Alice grabbed a bag of potato chips and brought them into the dinning room. I grabbed a water from the fridge and walked into the dinning room where Edward, Alice and Emmett were already sitting down waiting for me. I sat down and grabbed my burger. I looked up to find all three of them staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing", Alice said, "I've just never seen somebody eat human food so close before. And plus, this is the first meal Emmett and me have made in decades. I'm curious to see how it turned out. So go on and take a bite!" Alice was bouncing up in down in her seat, awaiting me to eat it. So I did. I chewed and let it sink in. They actually did a pretty good job.
"Mmmm", I said taking another bite, "you guys pass. This taste great." Alice squealed in delight and clapped her hands. Emmett then raised his hand to high five Alice. I looked back to Edward who looked worried.
"Is something wrong Edward?", I asked grabbing some potato chips out of the bag.
"The others are coming back from their little hunting trip. Esme is gonna flip when she sees what you two have done to her kitchen", Edward said pointing at Alice and Emmett.
"Oh crap", Emmett said and got up immediately and ran towards the kitchen. But it was to late.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD!?" Esme yelled. I looked at Edward and started laughing. Alice then got up and ran towards the kitchen.
"My kitchen! What have you done?!", Esme asked. She was furious.
"Oh chill out mom, its not like we use it anyway", Emmett said amused.
"Well we are now that Bella is living here! I cant believe this. The two of you need to clean this up right now!" Man Esme was pissed.
"Yes mom", both Alice and Emmett said in unison. As I was finishing up my dinner, My father walked in the room smiling.
"Hey Ca-Dad." It was really hard to call him dad. It would be something I would have to get used to. I haven't called anyone dad or father my entire life.
"Hello Bella. Enjoying your dinner?" He asked with a hint of amusement in his tone.
"Actually I am. Alice and Emmett did a pretty good job. But I'm sorry your kitchen had to suffer."
"Don't worry about it Bella. I'll be in my office catching up with Benjamin if you need anything. After that, I would love to talk to with you for a little while. Hear about your life a little bit."
"Oh yes, yes of course! I want to hear a little more about you also. Go gossip with Benjamin, we'll talk later." He laughed and walked out of the dinning room. I finished my dinner and looked at Edward. Alright now I wanted my answers.
"So", I began, "you have to have some explanation as to why you were in my bedroom watching me sleep. Care to tell me?" He shrugged his shoulders and looked down towards the table.
"I just-", he said, hesitating, "I just liked watching you sleep. And I was bored so I had nothing else to do." He looked back up at me, grinning.
"Oh really?" I asked. He nodded back at me. "Well, why do you like watching me sleep? It's just sleeping. There really is nothing interesting about."
"Well", he said looking back down to the table, "I think your very interesting. It was very…..comforting watching you sleep." I could settle for that answer. He looked up to me and smiled his famous crooked smile. I couldn't help but smile back at him.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Anything Bella", he said still smiling at me.
"Why didn't you fall for Sarah? I mean look at you! Your good looking, she is good looking. You're a match made in heaven!" Edward started to laugh.
"She is rather good looking. But she just didn't have any appeal to me."
"Are you high Edward?" He started laughing even harder now.
"No Bella, I don't think that is possible", he calmed his laughter down and started to get serious, "Sarah, to me, seemed to be like every other women out there. Like I said, she is good looking, I guess to the average male eye. I'm just not attracted to her."
"Ok. Can I ask you something else?"
"Shoot"
"How many times have you…seen Sarah? Like I said, she has never mentioned you to me. She makes trips to Volterra to visit her father all the time and tells me everything. It just surprises me."
"I've only met Sarah 3 or 4 times and everytime she is more flirtatious. But like I've said, I have never showed interest. But she has sent me letters." What?
"Letters? Are you serious?" I will defiantly making a phone call to Sarah tonight.
"Yes letters. She sends them to me all the time."
"Do you reply back?"
"I did for the first couple. But then it just seemed sort of ridiculous so I stopped. Sarah has never really told you about me, not once?"
"No, she hasn't", I said looking down at my hands, "Speaking of Sarah, I should probably call her. She must be wondering how everything turned out." I looked back up at Edward who was nodding.
"That sounds like a good idea. Go ahead and call her. I will clean up your dinner", he said getting up.
"Alright. Do you want to talk to her?" Edward looked at me, blinked twice, and laughed.
"No Bella, that's quite alright. You go ahead and talk to Sarah."
"Alright." I got up from my chair and headed for my room. Man this was going to be one interesting phone call……..
A/N
Alright, first off, I promise the Sarah/Edward thing will get cleared up. Second, I decided that, since most of you wanted it, Bella will have her power. I'm just not going to expose it quite yet. I have an idea of how I'm going to have her power come into play. Third, I start college tomorrow so updates won't be coming as frequently as they used to. I'll try and write chapter 7 tonight, and have it up by tomorrow. Please review. Reviews make my day!
