Previously:

It was then I noticed an old women in her early 70's sitting at one of the booths surrounded by a group of people, I presumed this was grandma Betty. She was thin and silver hair covered her head, a pair of thin silver glasses was perched at the end of her long she had deep grey eyes and rose colored cheeks. A scowl covered her face after one of the gentleman commented on something.

"Common' grama' Betty what makes your puddin' so good?"A young girl around the age of twelve asked.

"That sweetheart is an old family recipe that will be passed down through my family for many years to come and only my family will ever know." She stated glaring back at the young man.

"Hey Grama' Betty what yawl jabberin' 'bout?" Edward asked.

"Oh Edward, my boy how have you been? Stayin' way from them bulls I hope." She asked.

"Sorry ma'am but you know I can't do that it's just too fun scarin' ya'." He joked.

"Grama' Betty I want yuh to meet my wife Isabella"

"Well what a lovely name for a lovely young lady" She smiled reaching out for a hug.

"It's nice to meet you Grandma Betty, so I hear you have the best bread pudding ever. Is that true?" I smiled.

"Why yes it is."

"Well then I guess I have to try it now don't i?"

"Why of course."She insisted. "Edward you go find yourselves a table and Brooke will take your order."

Edward led me to the corner booth that was covered by a white table cloth with blue lace trim and daisy's sat in the center in a blue crystal vase. The small place was quaint and charming the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and I couldn't be happier to be here. Edward pulled out my chair and I sat down. The waitress came over to take our order she was about 6' tall with blonde hair and blue eyes she was the picture perfect American girl you expected to be on a U.S.A. post card.

"Hello yall my name is Brooke and I'm gonna' survey a tonight. What can I get yuh?" She had a bubbly personality.

"I'll have a beer and what would you like" He asked me.

"I'll have a glass of your santagreia."

"Okay let me go get yuh that and here's your menus."

When scanning over the menu it became clear to me the theme was southern comfort food. I decided on chicken fried steak with sausage gravy and Edward got a steak with parsley potatoes. It was only about five minutes before someone walked up and guess who it was…here I'll give you a hint she has red hair and I think she might be the antichrist.

"Hey Eddie I missed you-"


Chapter 20

"You've got to be fucking kidding me" I mumbled.

"Viki hey how ya' doin'?" Edward asked.

"Well I'm just dandy Honey How you been?"

"Married, but I already told you that."I jumped in.

"Well ain't that somthin'."She stated acting innocent."You know there's goanna be a bonfire and BBQ tomorrow night you should stop by?" She suggested.

"Well I don't know."

"Come on it'll be fun." She smiled lacing her arms through his.

"Well it's up to Bella, "He turned his head toward me. "would you like to go?"

"Well…" I thought.

"She wouldn't be into it we'll be fishin and doin all that stuff city folk don't know how to do." She commented.

"You know what I'd love to," I smiled. "Baby maybe you can teach me how to do some stuff."

Viki's smile wiped strait off her face and my smile widened. I was tired of being under estimated I'd show them how much this city girl really knew. Edward smile widened at the opportunity to teach me how to do some stuff only problem is he had been the one person that had underestimated me the most not only in my cooking but in everything. Viki kissed Edwards cheek and sashayed away swaying her hips a little too much. I imagined that her red hair had come up in flames and nobody could hear her screams. I turned my head to see Edward staring after her.

"Edward?" I asked seeing if he was paying attention, which he wasn't.

"You know I was thinking of dyeing my hair blonde and becoming a nun."

"What?" That got his attention.

"Here yuh go guys I hope you enjoy your meal."

The smell of country gravy and fried food wafted up to my nose it smelled amazing. I picked up my knife carefully cutting into my meal and plopping it into my mouth it was peppery then tangy then to tangy I jumped up from my chair and ran to the lady's room throwing up my meal. I sank to the floor my throat sore and my head thumping in pain. There was a reluctant knock on the door before I heard the hinges creek in protest.

"Bells you okay in there."

"I-I'm okay I think"

"Bells I'm commin' in."

I felt my hair be lifted off my shoulders and the air hit the back of my neck another wave of nausea hits and I threw up yesterday's dinner and lunch, I think.

"Edward I don't want you to see me like this."

"Sweetheart I really don't mind come on I think we should head home."

"But what about dinner?"

"Don't worry about it hun lets get you home and in a cold shower."

"Okay"

Edward lifted me up into his arms mine wrapping themselves around his neck I nuzzled my face into the Crooke of his neck searching for darkness the light only making my headache worse the last thing I remember is him placing a kiss on the top of my head. A couple hours later I woke up to the sounds of crickets chirping and the wind blowing through an open window I was in Edwards room…well, our room. I push up from the bed and placed my head in my hands and rubbed my face. I push up off the bed and make my way to the bathroom I turned the knob on the sink and gathered some in my hands and splashed it onto my face rubbing it into the back of my neck. I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist and his face nuzzle into my neck kissing my collar bone.

"Hun, you feelin' any better?"

"Not really my headaches faded but the nauseas gone."

"Come on you need to get some more rest."

He lifted me up and carried me back to bed I felt the bed dip beside me and his arms wrap around me. I didn't know what was wrong with me but I knew that Edward would do everything in his power to help and it made me feel a lot better. Growing up I didn't really have anyone there to help take care of me I was always doing all the work and taking care of others. I didn't know how long it would take until I really opened up to Edward but I really hope that one day I will. From what I had learned so far about Edward was he wasn't like Renee he wouldn't do the same thing to me that she did…would he?

I woke up at around 9am Edward was still in bed we had changed positioned throughout the night he had ended up on his back and my head had ended up on his chest we were all wrapped up with each other I never wanted to wanted to wake up from this moment and I hoped to live in it for as long as possible but I knew Edward was already awake do to the face he had I giant smile spread across his face.

"You're a really bad actor you know that." I joked smacking his chest lightly.

"No I'm not and yuh know it sweetheart."

As I went to slap his chest again he wrapped his hand around my wrist holding it to his heart his eyes gazed down at me concern filling his eyes.

"You feelin' better?"

"Yeah"

Then he asked me the most moronic question at the worst possible time I was so ready to slap him so hard that he would see stars and at that moment I had no idea how to answer him.

"Why don't you like Viki?"
