I update fast enough, don't I? I truly try my best to get each drabble out as soon as I can. You guys are reading the story but sadly, hardly any of you leave a review. It would make me really happy to see a bunch of reviews with this chapter.
14.
"We're back", says Masen in a sing song voice as he enters through the back door, his hands carrying two large paper bags.
"Oh?" I say. "Where were you?"
He smiles. "T took me to the store with her and we bought lots and lots of things. Like popsicles and chips and M&M's."
He looks so happy that I don't have the heart to tell him that he can't eat so much junk food. I help him with the bags and then sit next to him on the kitchen counter.
Tanya walks in and makes a face at us. "What did I tell you two boys about sitting on the counter tops?" she scolds.
I shake my head. It seems as if T still hasn't gotten used to the fact that I'm not a kid anymore. She still treats me like one.
But I listen to her and Masen and I immediately move away.
"How was your trip into town?" I ask, trying to divert her attention. She's scrutinizing the counters with such a disgusted expression that I'm worried that she'll kick me out of the room and start cleaning.
T is such a neat freak.
"Fine", she says. "We met someone there."
"Who?"
"Bella", exclaims Masen.
"Bella?" I say. I haven't heard that name around here.
"The Chief's daughter", replies T.
Yeah. I recall Riley telling me about his sister coming to Forks. Wait a second. Wasn't her name Izzy?
"Her name's Isabella", states Tanya with a scheming look on her face. "Isn't that a pretty name? She's such a good looking girl, Edward! You two would hit it off."
Where's she heading with this? I wonder.
"You've got to meet her!" she continues, practically gushing Isabella's praises. "You'll love her."
Oh no.
T is trying to set me up with someone again. Considering the fact that all the women my house-keeper and two close friends (Alice and Jasper, for that matter) have introduced to me, this can't end well.
Heidi was a gold digger. She had her eyes on my trust fund the moment Alice mentioned me to her. One date and it ended in a disaster.
Jane didn't like my sister so I automatically disliked her. As if I'd want to date a woman who didn't like Rosalie. Rose, Masen and I came as a package deal but now it's only us guys.
Kate was an outgoing redhead whom I kind of liked. She wasn't all that bad, except that she kept on going about marriage and babies. I'm not opposed to getting married one day but umm, not to someone so clingy.
They were others as well but let's just say, I got rid of them as soon as I could.
So I take a stand. "Get all those ideas out of your head T. I'm not getting roped into another of your matchmaking plans", I say firmly. "I don't have time for dating."
Like I promised, Bella's here but she hasn't met Edward yet!
