"Um, I like the black and white...coconut is pretty good too. So is the red velvet, I just put those out."
He smiles. "Okay, I'll take one of each then. And a coffee."
I take the three cupcakes out and put them on a plate, as well as box up a pie. Edward takes them from me and goes to sit down at a table.
I come back with a knife and two cups of coffee.
"So, Bella. How have you been?" Edward asks, taking a sip of his drink.
"I've been okay, I guess. Work has been busy," I add.
"Good. I've been okay too."
There's a lull in the conversation already and I watch as Edward cuts each of the cupcakes in half.
"How was your date?" I blurt out.
Edward looks surprised. "My date?"
I want to shrink up and disappear.
"Yes, I saw Rosalie and she told me you were going on a date..."
"Oh." Edward picks at a cupcake. "It was...okay."
"Just okay?" I ask. I'm a masochist.
"It was a blind date, kind of. I'd met the girl before once or twice but never really paid attention. She's a nice girl, though."
"Oh. So you'll go on a second date?" I realize I'm probably being too nosey, but he's offering answers freely, so I'll take advantage.
"Maybe. I don't know. I hadn't really thought about it or her until you just mentioned it."
Edward takes a bite of the red velvet. "This is amazing."
I smile and look down at my drink. "Thanks."
"So are you and Rosalie friends now?"
"I guess. We just went to lunch once. She's nice."
He makes a snorting noise. "More like an insufferable bitch, most of the time."
"You don't like her?"
"It's not that I don't like her. She's good at what she does. I tried not to pick sides during the divorce, but of course my loyalties lie with my brother. It was a mostly amicable divorce, though."
I nod, not sure what to say.
"Enough about my ex sister in law, though. Tell me more about yourself."
The cupcakes are based off of Sprinkles Cupcakes. I really like those three flavors. Especially the black and white. Until tomorrow!
