A/N: I'm back you guys! Sorry If I keep y'all waiting :/ BUT Here's the new chapter. Enjoy~
When I get home all I can think about is Edward. When his fingers pressed against my body, I felt a shiver run down my spine. I felt like we were made for each other. It was perfect. But I doubt he even thinks about me like that way. To him I was probably just a girl who needed directions.
I'm nothing special.
He probably hugs all the girls in school, except Tanya. He may even kiss them.
That thought saddened me a bit. I really didn't like the possibility that might be true. Edward was a God. He could have whoever he wanted. Plain and simple.
And that was exactly what I am. Plain and Simple
Plain brown hair.
Simple brown eyes.
Nothing special.
I decided I need a distraction. So, I went in the kitchen to try to make dinner.
When I enter the rather plain setting, I notice that there is NO FOOD. Charlie has nothing to eat. This is unacceptable. How has this man been surviving? When I opened the pantry the only thing I saw was some spaghetti noodles, a moldy loaf of bread and a couple of can of Spam that I swear I saw the last time I was in the kitchen.
Unacceptable. All I knew was one thing. If I'm staying here, there has to be food ALWAYS in that pantry no matter what. In the refrigerator too.
I couldn't take the site of this disaster any longer. I rushed upstairs to grab my keys, phone and some emergency cash Charlie gave me. He said to use it if need be. And this situation was a COMPLETE emergency.
I rushed out the house and locked the door before I left. I jump into my truck and I put the key in. My engine roared to life so loud that I think I might have got a heart attack right then.
I cruise on down to the community grocery store, thinking about making baked chicken and potatoes for dinner. When I pull up in the parking lot, I thought I spotted a Volvo but I figured it was nothing.
While strolling into the store I grabbed a basket and headed towards the vegetable area. I grab a pound of potatoes and some other things we are going to be eating on other days.
After I'm done with this section, I go on over to the meat department. Over here, I pick up the chicken for tonight, and A LOT of ground beef. I have decided I done enough shopping for today and will come back for the snacks later on. But there is just one thing I have to stop and get.
My obsession. Ice-cream sandwiches.
As I glide down the frozen desert isle, I marvel at the selection they have. I keep walking though, until I get to the ones I want. I grab about 5 boxes of them.
It was then that I felt an ever so warm hand on my shoulder. My body lit up. I knew it was him and a smile crawled on my face.
"Well, hello Bella," He said. His breath was so close to my neck making me shiver.
Only Edward.
"I should have known I might find you in the ice-cream isle," He chuckled to himself.
I turned around to face him. "Yup! Obviously!" I winked at him.
"You are making dinner tonight?" he asked leaning against the wall.
"Yes. Just some baked chicken and potatoes."
"Sounds delicious. I'm sure Charlie will love it," Edward exclaimed.
"Hopefully. So what are you doing here?"
"I was actually getting some chips, but I saw your truck and decided to come find you. I figured I would find you here."
I wonder if I should I invite him over to dinner. I don't want to sound too pushy though. I did only meet him today. But sometimes you have to take a chance.
I'm going for it.
"Ya know I'm going to have enough food for more than Charlie and myself... Maybe you would like to join us?" I look up at him shyly.
"Well of course I would, but do you think Charlie is okay with that?"
I nod. I'm sure Charlie won't mind because technically I'm making friends and this is a good thing because I'm new and in Phoenix I didn't have that many friends.
He beams at me. "Okay what time do you want me to come over?"
"I'll be done with everything at about 5:45 so be at my house by 6:00? If that's okay with you?"
"I'll be there," he says while proceeding to the checkout line.
I turn back around grab two more boxes of ice-cream sandwiches. Just for safe measure. And rush to the checkout line, ready for my dinner with Edward.
When I get home I start the food as quickly as possible, and then run upstairs to freshen up. I end up keeping on the same dark wash jeans I had on the morning but change into my purple sweater and a pair of ballet flats.
I rush back down stairs to check on the food. It's already 5:30 and Charlie walks through the door.
"Hi Dad how was work?" I ask him as he sits down on his chair.
"Nothing new," he sighs "But how was your first day of school? Did you make any new friends?"
"Actually school was pretty good. I made a handful of friends that I think are really nice. I wanted to ask you if it was okay that I invited one of them over for dinner tonight."
"Sure Bells! What's her name?" He exclaims. Clearly excited for me.
"HIS name is Edward," I say putting emphasis on his.
Charlie falls quiet and ever so slightly narrows his eyes at me.
"Well, I guess it would be okay. He is just a friend right?"
"Yes! Just a friend!" I clarify.
An amazingly perfect God-type friend. But a friend nonetheless.
6 o'clock rolls around in a flash. I was sitting on my bed listening to Bad Thing by King Tuff when I hear a rumble coming from outside. I get up to see what if was and there was Edward. On time and looking as handsome as ever. I rush down stairs, stumbling in the process.
"Bells are you o…" He was cut-off by the doorbell ringing.
I go answer the door the there he is. I'm pretty sure my heart stopped. He adorned a crooked smile on his face that I really love. The one that makes me blush.
"Hello Bella," he said smiling more and his eyes lightened up which really brightened my mood up more.
"Hey, come on in," I smile at him.
Edward strolls in effortlessly and I notice he is carrying a plate.
"What do you have there?" I raise an eyebrow at him curiously. I wonder if he brought his own plate to use. Weird…
"My mother sent me with a plate of brownies. She told me it wasn't polite to come to dinner empty handed," he answers sort of embarrassed.
I hadn't noticed we were in our little bubble again. Charlie cleared his throat.
Edward was the first to speak. "My apologies sir. I don't wish to intrude on you and Bella's dinner. I can leave if you would like," Edward explains nervously.
"No, no it's okay. I'm glad that Bella brought you over," Charlie said smiling.
They both walked towards each other and shook hands.
Charlie speaks again. "Well why don't we get to eating. I'm starving! The food has had my stomach growling long enough."
All of us started laughing at what Charlie said. Hmm…
We all walk towards the kitchen and are all seated.
I get to serve the food and for the rest of dinner there wasn't a real conversation. Just a few questions here and there.
Once finished, Charlie says that he wants to go start watching the baseball game. I get up and clear the plates away. Edward comes over to help me. I wash, he dries the plates.
Afterwards we go sit back down and enjoy the brownies that his mom baked. THEY WERE AMAZING! These were by far the most delectable brownies I have ever tasted.
"I must have her recipe!" I exclaim to Edward
He chuckles. "Well I guess they are kind of good, but not as good as the dinner."
"Kind of?! These are amazing! And thanks," I say starting to blush. I'm glad he can't see in this dark light.
"No problem."
After I stuff my face it three more brownies. I invite Edward to go sit on the patio with me. We passed Charlie, but he was too engulfed in the game. When we get outside. There is a slight breeze and the sun is beginning to set. This is perfect. We go sit on the bench and just talk about random stuff like he would ask if I had a crush when I lived in Phoenix, did I have a boyfriend there and stuff. I wonder why he asked those types of questions...?
All too soon the sun is gone and it is replaced with the moon. I looked over at Edward who is on his feet.
"I have to get going now," he said frowning.
"Aww," escapes my mouth sounding very disappointed.
"I don't want to leave either, but I'll see you at school tomorrow," he says hopefully his smile coming back to place.
I stand up as well and he gives me a familiar but new hug. This time he holds me a little tighter. A little longer.
He lets me go and I say, "It was a pleasure having you for dinner tonight." I smiled looking into his beautiful green orbs. I could stare at them forever.
"The pleasure was all mine," he winks before turning and walking off towards his car. Before getting in he looked at me and smiled my smile. I blushed. He smirked shaking his head before getting in his car.
I watch my god get into his car once again today and drive off. I swear I caught him looking at me rather than looking ahead. I rolled my eyes and walked into the house. I said goodnight to Charlie and went straight to my room. I plopped onto my bed not even wanting to change my clothes. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow…
A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Keep them coming. And I wanted to say that I am from the south so I might use y'all and ma'am a lot! Sorry it's just habit. I'm trying to set an update schedule for myself so please bare with me…
