Um - hey guys!
So, whats up? *laughs nervously*
I'm not even gonna make excuses this time, coz I don't really think I have any that will live up to your expectations.
But, here you go, chapter 8 for anyone who is still with me!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
On with the show...
B.P.O.V:
My Eyes flickered open as morning light filtered through the gaps in my curtain – could it be? I threw back the covers and stumbled over to the window, throwing open the curtains – yes! The sun shone – dully – but still shone at me from a patchy blue sky. Thank you whoever is up there!
I lingered by the window as long as I dared, but eventually made my way into the bathroom. I glanced at my reflection – my hair was tangled but I looked well rested, so after going to the toilet, I went downstairs in search of breakfast. Just as I reached the bottom step the phone rang, I quickened my pace to the kitchen and picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bells, it Alice"
"And Rose" Rose chimed in, got to love three way calling!
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Well, we were thinking about taking Emmet, Jasper and Edward to that new theme park just outside Port Angles – if they're up to it, what do you think?" Alice asked.
"I think it's a great idea guys"
"What's a great idea?" Came a deep, velvety voice from behind me.
I took a deep breath before turning around to face him – oh my God – did his eyes get greener over night? Is that even possible? Despite my feeble attempt at self control, I couldn't help the fact that my eyes glanced – okay – ogled at his appearance. He was wearing pyjama bottoms, but no top – please don't drool, please don't drool. His six pack stood firm and I had to take another deep breath to stop myself whimpering before my eyes found their way back to his perfect face, only to meet those amazing green eyes of his again – is it even legal to have eyes that hypnotizing?
"Bella? BELLA?" Snapped Rose through the phone, "What's going on?"
"Um, I got to go, Edwards up, I need to find us some breakfast"
"Okay – I'll pick you both up in an hour" Alice said.
"Don't tell him where we're going!" Rose put in.
We said our goodbyes and I hung up, placing the phone back in its cradle.
"So – did you sleep well?" I queered.
"Like a baby" He smiled.
I breathed a sigh of relief – either he was just being polite or he really did sleep like a baby – who knows. Maybe English people liked the smell of sour milk, or maybe Edward's weird, in a very hot, delicious kind of way. Jacob hated the smell of milk and the spare room. Okay – so maybe the spare room was crawling with deformed mice back then, and maybe if you stayed in there to long you'd grow a second head, but still, he could have lied like Edward might be right now, it's common courtesy.
"So" I smiled, dragging myself out of my slightly disturbing thoughts, "What would you like for breakfast?"
"What are you having?" He asked with a smile.
Well, I don't know what I'm having but I know what I'd like – you!
Oh shut up inner voice, this is no time to make an appearance, go back to your cupboard and sniff some milk. Wow, I'm thinking way too much about milk lately, I don't think I've ever even smelt it properly before – maybe I should.
"Just cereal" I answered.
"May I have some to?" Edward grinned, his teeth glinting in the fluorescent lights – it was the sexiest grin I had ever witnessed, I was quickly losing all power over my thought process.
"Um, sure" I stumbled my way over to the counter and pulled out two bowls from the cupboard while Edward fetched milk from the fridge. I poured the cereal into the bowls, took the milk off Edward and unscrewed the cap. One little sniff wouldn't hurt – right? Okay, I need to stop thinking about sniffing milk, or I'll be off to asylum – straight jacket and all. I never used to be this weird – I blame Edward Cullen.
I picked up the bowls after I had poured the milk over the cereal (without sniffing it, I might add) and started to walk towards the table, Edward behind me. I forgot I hadn't really tripped this morning and was long overdue for a meeting with the floor. I caught my foot, on, well, my other foot and before I knew it I was headed toward the ground, two bowls of cereal grasped in my two hands. I squeezed my eyes tight shut, bracing myself for the impact that was surely about to come. But it never did. Two strong arms wound themselves around my middle and pulled me upright before my body could even connect with the floor. I can't say the same for the cereal bowls though, which leapt out of my hands and smashed against the tiled floor, milk and coco pops mixed in with bits of broken bowl flew everywhere; the sound echoed off the walls of the kitchen and I winced into Edward at the destruction I had caused. Smart move dumb ass.
"Oops" I breathed as Edward spun me around to face him, his arms still wound firmly around my waist.
"Bella, are you okay?" He asked concern evident in his tone and his eyes.
"Yeah, I – " Then I realised how close we were. I was pressed up against him, no room between our bodies what so ever, our noses all most touching, chests rising and falling together. He stared intently into my eyes, all concern washing away, replaced by some new emotion I could not read. I found myself leaning closer, and so did he, until my peripheral vision caught sight of the time from the clock hanging on the kitchen wall.
I jumped backwards from Edward and we both blinked madly for a few seconds, me trying to get my thoughts straight – him, probably trying to think of a reason why some weird American girl tried to kiss him. Ah well, back to reality. I hastily tidied up the mess I'd made then turned apologetically to Edward.
"We haven't got time for a proper breakfast – is a granola bar alright?" I asked sheepishly.
"That's fine" He smiled, though he didn't meet my gaze – great, now I've seriously scared him.
I sighed and fetched two granola bars, we ate them hurriedly and then went upstairs to get ready. I let him have a shower first before I jumped in (after he got out – you sick minded people) and washed my body quickly before brushing my teeth. I ran back into my bedroom, stubbed my toe on my bed, cursed a bit, convinced Edward I was alright threw the door and got dressed. I wore dark blue skinny jeans with a grey vest top with the peace symbol printed on it and a long black cardigan with my favourite pair of white washed sneakers. I brushed my hair and threw it up into a messy ponytail but didn't bother with makeup. I grabbed a bag and shoved my money, house keys and a bottle of water into it, just as I was opening my bedroom door to head downstairs a horn was honked from outside.
Edward was sitting on the bottom step, hair still slightly damp and tousled (insert drooling here), a plain white top on with a red and white long sleeved chequered shirt over the top with baggy jeans on.
"Hey" I said as I came up behind him. He jumped up and smiled at me, "Ready to go?" I asked.
He nodded, "And where exactly would that be?" He enquired, arching one perfect eyebrow.
"You'll have to wait and see" I smiled evilly, dropping a wink as I walked past. I opened the front door and turned to face him, "You coming"
He shook his head and blinked, "Um, yeah, coming"
So we both walked down the path to Alice's dads jeep, were I could already see Alice and Jasper in the front, and Emmet and Rosalie in the middle, which left the boot for me and Edward.
But I still had a feeling that this was going to be a really fun day. I smiled and glanced at Edward and smiled. Just to his right sat a flock of magpies, nine of them to be precise. My eyes flickered back to Edward and I saw him smile too.
So, there you go...
This was kinda a filler chapter, the next chapter will be the theme park chapter.
Don't ask about the whole milk thing, I was thristy when I wrote this chapter.
Lol
Ok, so, can you please review? I know I have no write to as, but erm, er, England aren't doing to well in the world cup right now...
Ok, so not really much of a reason to review but ah well.
I can't promise when I'll next update coz I got a ton of coursework to get through, but I'll try and do it quicker than I did this time round!
And thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter - you brightened up my day :)
Luv,
MunchBunch
