A short drabble:
'Eddie!!'
Edward was highly suspicious of Bella that day. He was in fact, wary of her attitude in general. Of course, he had reason to be. Bella had dragged him to the largest shopping centre in the city. It was very Alice-like. She had maxed out his credit card in 2 days. Edward didn't complain much, because at night, they would engage in 'passionate' kissing. It was of course, very chaste. What Edward saw of those movies Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett secretly shared together was nothing like this. He always thought perhaps Bella missed the memo; she always immediately started to gasp whenever his lips would touch hers. She was supposed to do that later…
Anyway, he put those thoughts out of his mind and followed Bella to another shoes store. This was confusing; she didn't really dress up anyway. She really only wore converse, ballet shoes and no-heel boots. Bella gave a shriek and ran across the room to grab the last pair of strappy red leather stilettos.
This was only going to get worse. After trying them on one foot, she bought them. The assistant looked very pleased, and Edward was once again only mildly surprised that Bella had gone right out of her price range and straight into his.
They returned to the Cullen residence where Bella decided to parade around the house in her new, strappy red leather stilettos.
Alice smiled and clapped her hands.
'I'm so proud of you Bella!'
Edward gave a small groan. He liked Bella because she was different. Oh well, there were other points about her…like how she was so adorably clumsy, or, her shyness, or, or… It was only through Edward's rose coloured glasses that he saw these are endearing traits. Any other person would find this person completely incompetent. Any other person would find her boring, and bad on a sporting team. But Edward loved her regardless of her faults. Or was it because of them?
Bella pulled him into the dining room, her arms out. With a small grin, she stopped and suddenly jumped into his arms.
'Oof!'
Edward held her in his cold arms for a moment and as gently and slowly as he could, put her on the dining table. Then suddenly, he swung her around and headed into the living room where he dumped her on the couch.
Bella giggled.
'No Bella…that's not I'm doing. I'm afraid someone as accident-prone as you would hurt yourself on that hard surface.'
'Oh my gosh can you read my mind now??' She turned her large brown doe-eyed gaze onto him. Edward slowly put both his hands on her face. Holding the sides of her face, he looked her in the eyes. His eyebrows pinched together and for a moment, all he felt was Bella's hot breath.
'Bella?' he said softly and caressingly. He was trying to dazzle her, he admitted.
'Ya?'
He was afraid then.
