“Where are we going?”
Edward stops loading the bags into the car and just smiles, “Don’t worry. We’re not going to France.” Well, I guess that’s good news. But it does not answer the question. “Ok, that tells me where we are NOT going. Where are we going?” “Right now we are just getting out of St. Louis. We’ll talk more on the way, get in.” You’d think that since this is my life we’re protecting, he’d give me more information on how he plans on doing that. But, no, not Edward. Secretive bastard. Fine, I’ll play his game…for now. I hear the trunk slam and Edward gets into the driver’s seat. “We need to stop for food ASAP.” “I’m surprised, Anita. Used to be you couldn’t eat right after seeing something like that.” “Well, let’s see. I’m tired and I haven’t fed the ardeur in a day. I’d rather not start draining energy from Damian and that will happen if I don’t eat now or do a true feeding. After what I just saw, I’d prefer to eat. So, the closest restaurant would be good. Thanks.” “You sure? There’s plenty of room in the back seat of the hummer.” I have to remind myself that I’m not allowed to kill him so I settle for giving him a very dirty look. Laughing, “McDonald’s it is.” Oh no, not again. That would make it twice in less than 24 hours. And this time, no cute Happy Meal toys. “How about Cheesesteak?” “Ok, Cheesesteak it is. Which way?” I’m amazed. The almighty Edward doesn’t know everything. He catches my grin out of the corner of his eye. “Don’t start the smart ass remarks and just tell me how to get there. Remember who’s in control of the car. We don’t have to opt for food.” That’s so not funny. “Take a left at the light.” Edward smiles and deftly makes the turn. Good thing it’s close by. I don’t think I could have waited much longer. That backseat is pretty big. We go in and order. Edward raises an eyebrow at me when I ask for mushrooms and mayonnaise. Please, like his onions and mustard sounds so appetizing. I tell the lady it’s to go and Edward leans down to whisper in my ear. “You’re going to eat that greasy food in my $70,000 Hummer? I’m sorry but that is a fungi free environment.” Will the jokes never cease? Rolling my eyes I turn to him. “Well, I suppose we could stay here but I seem to recall someone telling me we needed to get the hell out of dodge.” Holding his hands up in mock surrender, he smiles. “Alight, I suppose I can bend the rules this once. You know, since you’re life is on the line and all.” Looking into his eyes I start to feel a warming in my stomach. As my heart begins to tighten, I grab our order and head for the car. Suddenly I feel sick and the camaraderie of the past few minutes fades. I can’t believe I’m sitting here with Edward feeling this way and cracking jokes. Olaf is after me. He’d left a body under my bed. Mutilated and dressed in my clothing. With notes describing what he wants from me. How can I sit here and be happy? How can I be feeling this way towards Edward? I have Jean-Claude and Asher. They are my loves. My only loves. I had finally whittled it down to the two men I couldn’t live without. Just as my life was making as much sense as it ever will, wham! Olaf comes barreling into my life and screwing everything up. Now I’m dealing with a serial killer who wants to mutilate me and wear my heart as a necklace and as scared as I am of that… I’m even more scared of what Edward is making me feel. I swing myself into his car. Jeez, I need a step ladder to get in and out of this thing. Edward calmly gets in the car and begins driving. He waits until after we finish eating. “What was that back there?” Not now. I don’t know. Maybe I should say that out loud. “Would you believe I don’t know?” Edward pulls to a stop at a red light. Turning to look at me he stares for a minute and then nods his head. “Yeah, I believe you.” Smiling in gratitude we continue our journey in silence. I mull over the past day. Day!? So much has happened that it just doesn’t seem possible. I steal a glance at Edward. He’s so relaxed behind the wheel of his Hummer. Out of all the things that have happened within the last 24 hours, he is what really surprises me. I really don’t like surprises.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
