Hi! Here's a weekend update to make up for not posting last night.
"Are you okay?" Edward asks. He turns in his seat and digs around in the backseat, pulling out a bottle of water for me.
"Thanks," I tell him, taking the bottle from him and sitting back.
"Do you need a minute or can we keep driving?" Edward asks. He sounds annoyed.
"Yeah, I think I'm good."
He doesn't reply, instead just starting to drive again.
I stop looking out the window and instead look at Edward.
Every time we drive under a street light, his profile is illuminated.
"So handsome," I slur.
Edward looks over to me, a small smirk on his face.
"Shit," I curse when I realized I said it loudly enough for him to hear.
Once we're back at my place and out of the car, I realize I don't think I'll be able to make it up the three flights of stairs.
I think Edward realizes that as well, because he groans and tells me to hop on his back.
He piggybacks me all the way upstairs.
When we're inside, I make a beeline to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change into comfier clothes.
After I'm done, I go back out to find Edward sitting on the edge of my bed.
Wordlessly, I get in and wrap myself like a burrito in my blankets.
I expect him to say something, but for the longest time he doesn't.
"Well, I guess I should get back, then." His voice startles me.
He moves to get up and I surprise the both of us by reaching out and grabbing his hand.
"Don't go, please?"
Edward turns back to look at me, looking incredulous. "You're kidding, right?"
"No. Please?" I beg.
He sighs deeply and pulls out of my grasp. His expression turns angry.
"What the fuck is this, Bella? What are you doing?"
I'm taken aback by his outburst.
"W-what are you talking about?"
"You know what?" Edward pauses, then shakes his head. "Forget about it. I have to go. Let me know if you're alright in the morning, okay?"
"Okay," I nod my head fervently.
"Okay, goodnight."
Edward turns back around and he's out the door before I can even begin to process what just happened.
Thanks for all the lovely reviews and faves and alerts!
Why's Edward so angry?
