Once again, sorry for the previous chapter. :D Thank you to those who reviewed anyway. I know I haven't updated for a long time, but I didn't have time to. Sorry! Besides, lately, I didn't really feel like writing anything…
Starlight – 15: Snores and Secrecy
Bella's POV:
"You are never ever going to pick the movies we are watching again, you hear me Alice?" I ranted.
"Come on, Bella," Edward soothed me. "It's not that bad."
"Not bad? Not bad?" I echoed. "The title is 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' and you don't think it's bad? The title tells it all. It's probably going to be about a girl who keeps on shopping all day and has a huge debt!"
"It is!" Alice exclaimed. "How did you know?"
I glared at her.
"Hey, it's not my fault you lost in rock paper scissors so I got to choose," Alice defended herself.
"Why did I even come here?" I groaned as I buried my face in my hands.
"Because I was coming, and I didn't want to be stuck with Alice, who would be all hyper about the movie. Or Rose and Emmett, for that matter, they'd be making out the whole time…" Edward kissed my nose.
"What about me?" Jasper demanded.
"You?" Edward thought for a minute. "Oh yeah, Jasper's snoring."
"Yeah, that's more I like it," Jasper grinned comically as he pretended to snore.
"This is the first and last time you're getting away with this," I muttered. "Ugh… I still can't believe this…just wasting money…"
"Shh!" Alice hissed. "It's starting!"
Whoopee.
Edward placed his arm around me. "Don't look so sad. Here, why don't you just lean on me, so if it gets too boring, just go to sleep like Jasper."
Jasper gave me the thumbs up.
I just leaned on Edward and looked at the screen as the girl started talking about 'magic cards'.
For the next few minutes, I tried willing the movie to end quicker. Then I got tired and decided to just watch it. But something distracted me. A very annoying sound kept me from enjoying the movie- Jasper's snoring.
-0-
"That wasn't so bad," I admitted as we went out. "Kinda boring, but at least I didn't fall asleep… not like Jasper here, with his noisy snoring."
"Guilty." He held his hands up.
"I loved the movie!" Alice gushed. "All the clothes…" She got lost in her own dreamland.
"You should have starred in it," I said. "It would rally fit."
She got another dreamy look.
"It was okay," Rosalie said.
"What was the title of the movie?" Emmett asked, clueless.
"Confessions of a Shopaholic," Alice promptly answered. "You watched the movie without knowing its title?"
"I don't care… as long Rose is there," he replied, kissing her. She giggled. Aww…They looked so cute together.
"Well, I enjoyed the movie," Edward boasted.
"You did?" Rosalie snorted. "Or do you mean you enjoyed the view? Because the last time I looked, you were just staring at Bella."
He blushed. "So? That's still true."
I pinched his cheek. "You look so cute!" I cooed.
He swatted my hand as we continued walking.
"You know, that scarf was really beautiful," I mused.
"It was?" Edward asked.
"Of course it was!" Alice interrupted. "That scarf was soooo… I can't describe it."
"The Denny and George scarf?" he asked.
"Yeah," I confirmed. "I wish I had one…"
"Huh." He was silent.
As we walked down the streets, we continued chatting animatedly.
"So," Edward grinned. "I went inside the room, and BAM! I got soaked!"
"And you said you would never get wet." Emmett stuck his tongue out.
"Blah blah blah. As I recalled, you got soaked plenty of-" Edward suddenly froze in the middle of talking. His eyes stared straight ahead of him.
"Edward?" I waved my hand in front of him. "Hello? Edward? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," he muttered. "Hey, let's take this street instead." He abruptly turned to his left and walked ahead swiftly.
I looked at the others. Alice and Rosalie shrugged. Emmett and Jasper avoided my gaze. Huh. I wonder why. We all followed him.
"Hey, what's with you?" I asked him.
"Nothing," he mumbled, not meeting my gaze.
"It didn't look like a nothing," I insisted. "It looked like you saw a ghost!"
"Look, just leave it alone!" he snapped. I was shocked. He never acted like this. In fact, he never yelled or got mad at me or around me. He was the perfect gentleman, and our relationship was better than ever! In fact, we were much closer the Rosalie and Emmett or Alice and Jasper…I decided to just let it go for now. I was going to ask Alice what her brother's problem was later.
As we continued walking, I couldn't help but wonder what- or who- he saw. I thought of the people ahead of us. There was an old man- I don't think Edward would have any interest in him. I also saw a mother with two children, a teenager, a group of kids, a tall blonde, a couple, a- wait. I think he was staring at the tall blonde. She was directly in line of his vision. It's either her or the old man. I wondered why he would be… scared- it would be the only word to describe it- of her. Did he have a secret he didn't want me to know? A double life? Another identity?
Whoa, chill Bells! I ordered myself. This was Edward, for crying out loud. I'm sure everything has an explanation… I hope.
What is Edward hiding? Come on, you must have a clue! I let one slip already! Anyway, this story is almost finished… about three more chapters, I think. :( Better chapter? I hope so… Can you guys just give me one more activity? I have no more ideas!
The answer to last chapter's question: No. Bungalows do not have stairs. This chapter's question:
A man- let's name him Edward- is in a room filled with flowers. Edward was given a challenge by the queen, to find out which flower was the real one. Now, all of them smelled and felt like a real flower. He made one request, to open the window. The queen obliged, and he opened it. Within seconds, he had picked out the real one. Now, how did he know which flower was the real one, out of all the fake ones?
You know what to do next. :D
