Chapter 3: The Man With The Plan (Edward's Big Idea)

Edward's POV

Today was Saturday, no school, I can execute my plan. I was up late last night (or rather never went to sleep,) ,bored, browsing through amazon and came across a device called a Flex Disc. Curious upon what it was, I read the reviews "Casey Patterson

5.0 out of 5 stars I was hesitant to try but now I'm sold!

I was nervous to try this product! I do not like menstrual cups or the way they feel, so I was nervous to try the disk. I noticed they have a reusable one, but I didn't want waste my money if I turned out not to like this period product. My order arrived just in time for my period. My first time getting it in was nerve racking but it worked, I got it tucked up under my pubic bone and went to bed. At first sitting on my bed I could feel the plastic moving, I honestly think some air got trapped or something lol. I ignored it and went to bed. I forgot it was even in and when I got up in the morning and went to the bathroom. There were no leaks during the night so I pushed to empty the disk which worked. Then I placed my finger in to make sure the disk didn't come out and accidentally emptied it the rest of the way into my hand. It was something like a murder scene lol. I removed the disk and put a fresh one in for the day and nervously went to my dentist appointment. Again there were no leaks and I made it from 7am to 5pm then decided to change it. First let me say that I didn't really realize how much I actually bleed! Secondly I recommend using the hands free emptying technique before trying to take the disk out. I really do love this disk, so much so that I decided to buy a reusable one! The disposables that are left I am putting in my period kit for on the go. I also feel like this disk shortened my period somehow, after 3 days I was using just a reusable panty liner because I was not bleeding enough to even fill the cup anymore! I recommend this cup especially for women who know their body's. I do not recommend this disk for people who feel faint around blood. I'm still perfecting the hands free emptying technique but I'm sure I will be a pro with this disk by the end of my next cycle!" (a/n I was reading these reviews on amazon last night lol)

I thought I could present this to Bella as a gift so I could get the contents "fresh" if you know what I mean, but I'm not sure how to phrase this to her so I don't sound like a weirdo. I know how to get her comfortable, that bitch (in the nicest way possible) loves food. I'm going to bring her to McDonald's for our date tonight. Just how to bring it up in conversation. Ugghh.

3rd Person POV

Bella and Edward were sitting at the table in McDonald's, "Hang on, let me go order." Edward said as he went to the counter. There was a line of about 3 people in front of Edward, he wonders on about how to ask Bella without her getting angry and storming off, 'How can I put this without sounding like a total fucking weirdo and without her getting angry' "hey dumb ass, the line's still moving." the checkout lady's radio static 6 pack a day smoker voice jerked him from his thoughts. "Yes, umm." he completely forgot for a second before remembering, "one Happy Meal please." he said flawlessly calm. 'just practicing' he thought to himself. "Aren't you a little old for ordering a Happy Meal." the lady sneered. This got Edward pretty angry and he wasn't one to get angry about stuff like this, "Well aren't you a little to old to be working here." Edward said through clenched teeth, "I'm just trying to be nostalgic." this stunned her and she jotted down the order, "T-that'll be $3.00." The lady stuttered out, Edward paid her and went back to the table where Bella was waiting, "Soooo… what did you order?" Bella questioned playfully, "Mhhh you'll have to wait and see." Edward quipped back, equally as playful. After a while of chatting about random stuff the lady from the counter came with their food. She gave Edward the 'glare of death' and walked away. "Edward… you remembered." she said as she opened her meal excitedly "6 piece nuggies." they both said and began to giggle. Edward was still trying to figure out how to ask her, "Bella…" he started "Yes Edward?" he quickly lost his courage and looked down at the table and saw a silly straw came with the Happy Meal, "Y'know I remember when these came out they were called crazy straws and…" Edward spent the most part of dinner telling stories about crazy straws. Bella did have to admit, this made the whole 'Edward is an immortal vampire thing seem more real. After dinner they went back to Bella's house, her father was on a cop field trip(?), so they had the house to themselves. They decided to watch reruns of Seinfeld. The episode where Jerry is playing with the lady's vintage toy collection. It was decided that was the best episode. They laughed and Bella went to sleep. As Bella slept, Edward watched her as he always does when out of the corner of his eye he spots the silly straw, still in the half drunk chocolate milk. He stared at it for a second then looked back at Bella, then back at the crazy straw, then back at Bella. A wave of inspiration washed over him and he exclaims, "I've got it!"

Ooooh cliff hanger, soo scary
