I was planning to surprise her, but I was the only one caught off guard.
Bella walked across the tiled kitchen floor, and then tip toed on the living room's carpet and towards the stairs. Although I am tuned to Bella's every sigh, movement and change in the rate of her beating heart, the only reason for her to be so conscious of the sound she was making was to be able to listen to her father's movement upstairs. Once Bella was certain that Charlie was taking his time getting ready she all but ran back into the kitchen and directly to the freezer. She thrust the door open, and then tried to catch it before it collided with the counter, muffling its sound.
Bella bent over forward, her ass completely obstructing my view. And what a view it was. Instead of staring intently at her rear though, I began counting the moments until Charlie would get out of the house. Simultaneously, I thought back to Alice's remarks as I was walking down the front steps of our porch.
My sister explained as she flounced up those same stairs and past me at a human pace, "Bella will be very happy to see you," with a wicked yet blinding grin.
With my mind-reading ability, I saw a future vision of my girlfriend cooking, like she was at this very moment, but I perceived other images of her that I did not quite understand. Alice relished in the confusion that spread across my face as we watched Bella struggle with a bag of vegetables through her minds eye. My sister's expression changed to a more thoughtful one, as Jasper emerged from the house to stand behind her, and wrapping is arms around her, embracing her as they often do.
A saw flashes of a shiny object, what looked like the Bella's delicate skin being revealed in a new way, and heard sounds that were new to me. The image that struck me the most were Bella's innocent eyes. I watched them transform as they bared into the soul she claims that I have, from sweet to sexy... I've never seen such a look of intent on her face before... It was really attractive.
They mirrored Alice's smoldering experienced ones, which also seemed to contain a hint of jealousy. Jasper could feel the lust and jealousy rolling off of her, and he seemed just as dumbfounded as I was.
Images of shops on Rodeo Drive were then rushing through my head, along with designer kimonos on a fashion runway in Japan. She grinned that wicked smile once again, as she dragged her husband down the stairs; he, still not understanding what had occurred between she and I. We shared a confused glance for a moment as they were departing.
"Let me know about Bella's new interest in 'Brussels Sprouts'" she said, between giggles. With a wink, and a quick turn, they were gone from sight, leaving me very, very confused.
The look on Bella's face was of the purest ecstasy...but why?
