"Come on, I'm sure you're hungry." I said, gesturing Edward to follow me down to the kitchen.
The rain finally slowed down to a stop but the power was still off and something told me it was going to be awhile before it came back on.
I looked in the fridge not finding much of anything except some vegetables, salad, fruit and some warm water bottles and fruit drinks. The cupboards were not much better, I found some can soup crackers and peanut butter. Next, I checked the freezer where I found some frozen meals and a pint of chocolate mint ice cream, bingo!
I popped open the lid of the half eaten, melting ice cream and dug in with my spoon, taking a portion in my mouth.
"Mmm, that's good." I moaned, at the taste of the cold, refreshing treat.
Edward eyed the pint with hungry eyes. I took out a second spoon and handed it over to him.
"Here you go, dig in. we have to finish this before it melts completely."
"No problem, I love ice cream." Edward voiced, looking like a kid of Christmas day as he took in a big mouthful of the cold substance.
I watched amused as he took bite after bite, acting as though it was the best thing he had in years.
"Mmm, Oh man, this is soo good." He praised, closing his eyes at each spoonful, enjoying the taste.
Some ice cream leaked from his spoon and dripped down his chin. I felt a strong urge to lick the trail of ice cream but held back not wanting to come off as too forward to Edward and scare him off.
It wasn't long after that his playful tongue came out of his mouth and ran over the very spot I was tempted to lick.
Edward noticed my stares.
"Sorry, did you want some?" He said, with his mouth still full of ice cream.
I couldn't resist.
"Yeah, I want some." I said, ignoring the pint on the table leaning forward and grabbing the back on Edward's head, capturing his chocolate mint favor lips with mine, moaning as I tasted the cold ice cream melt against my tongue.
Edward was grinning like an idiot and his cheeks filled with color.
"This is really good ice cream." He said, trying to ignore his nervousness.
"Yup, one of my favs. There isn't much here to eat and the power is probably going to be off for a while, you want to order a pizza while my cell still has some battery power?"
"Yeah, umm, you mind if I ask Alice if she wants to join us. I'm sure she is probably hungry too and I know there isn't much to eat at our place either. Plus, I should talk to her about earlier." Edward said.
"Yeah, sure. I'll just call my parents and let them know I'm using the emergency money to order us pizza and finds out when they are coming home."
I left Edward in the kitchen to finish his ice cream and call his sister and I went to the living room for a little privacy while I called my mom and dad.
"Hey mom, listen the powers off and I don't know when it will be back on so I was going to use some of our emergency money to order a pizza for dinner and Edward and Alice are going to join me, is that okay?"
"Sure Sweetie. Unfortunately I'm going to be at work for a couple more hours and then your father and I are going to a play later on. I'm sure you can keep an eye on the house and go to bed at a reasonable time, right?"
"Yes, mom. Thanks and have fun."
"You too, but not too much. Love you."
"Ha-ha, love you to. Bye."
