Today I timed my daily charade of purchasing lunch perfectly and secured a spot behind Bella. I sniffed deeply, drinking in her delicious aroma, despite the repulsive stench of the cafeteria slop. As the unctuous, lurching lunchroom gargoyle served Bella and dropped the spoon back into the dubious sludge, microscopic droplets of grease showered my face. My eyelids fluttered and I flinched in natural revulsion, but then before me a vision! I had caught Bella's eye!
I was lost in the dual umber vortices of her eyes and gazed for a solid ten seconds, forgetting to blink. I eventually managed to say hi, but my voice betrayed me and cracked mid syllable. And then heaven! Bella even gave me a shy smile! Thank you cafeteria trolls! I am forever indebted to you and your slipshod serving style!
As Bella started to slowly back away, I gazed down curiously at her chosen menu of what looked like wet string with some foul smelling, turgid brown goo on top. I was rigid with anxiety and hoped my lust would not make itself physically apparent. I was in luck for the most part!
I reached the register before I realised my tray was empty. Bella looked at it curiously and then inspiration struck. "One salt please." I ordered suavely. I was handed the tiny packet, placed it atop my tray, tipped the lunch lady $10 and gracefully moved across to my regular table, walking on air as I did so.
This was to date by far my most successful social interaction with my beautiful Swan. I cannot doubt that this newfound confidence of mine shall be the envy of the student body. Surely everyone noticed my charm, guile and enviable social ease.
A/N: Please leave a review! Let me know what you think Bella's experience of this encounter might have been.
