Chapter 7: Edward – If you're into it
oooooooooo
If you want me to, I can hang 'round with you
If I only knew, that's what you're into
And if you want me to, I will take off all my clothes for you
I'll take off all my clothes for you
If that's what you're into
Flight Of The Conchords – If you're into it
ooooooooo
It must have been close to 5 am when I finally fell asleep. After a few hours of restless sleep I was up again, looking out from my kitchen window. Bella's tall and dark boyfriend had already left, and the thought filled me with strange relief and a bit of smugness. Good riddance!
I wondered what I should do about the Bella-situation. I knew I should probably leave her alone but I really didn't want to. And I should do something nice for her after the cookies. Now if I only figured out what.
I wasn't a baker myself, and that would kind of take away from the value of her home made cookies anyway. I couldn't very well give her a gift because she had been living here all this time while I was the one that had been away. Although… at least I could return the plate. Not very inventive and kind of low key but I could tell her how much I had enjoyed her cookies. How much I would enjoy her, or spending time with her or simply being around her…making sure no one else had the privilege.
I would return the plate later today. I needed to shower, eat and gather myself first.
ooooo
I was pacing around the kitchen as nervous as a boy waiting to ask a girl out for the first time. Bella's blue plate lay ready on the table, washed and dried. I had put on crisp, clean clothes; regular jeans and a green button down shirt. I tried to plan ahead what I would say and how I would casually ask her out for dinner.
Eureka! I could ask her to come to dinner to my place as a thank you for the cookies and to get reacquainted. She would probably tell me more about her life and her boyfriend then,
That sounded like a solid enough plan. I decided to move before I would lose my nerve. God, what had this woman reduced me to? I didn't know wether to smirk or grimace.
ooooo
She opened the door after the first knock.
"Oh, it's you Edward." she seemed surprised but not disappointed.
Who was she expecting, that Captain Cardboard she had had over last night?
"Were you expecting someone else?" I asked instead, wanting to hear her say the words.
"Not at all, I just wasn't expecting you. I see you have my plate, there."
"Yes! Thank you once more for the cookies, they were great."
I handed her the plate and she took it.
"Listen, I was wondering if you wanted to come over for dinner tomorrow night. It would be great to catch up after all these years." I suggested nonchalantly.
"Really? That sounds like fun." she said, "At what time?"
"That depends. When do you get off work?"
"At five."
"How does six o'clock sound, then?"
"It's a date!" she smiled brightly.
"Yes it is. I'll see you tomorrow then."
Then I went back to my house, resisting the urge to do a fist pump as soon as her door closed after me.
We had a date. She had called it a date.
What was she doing having a date with me though, if she was shagging Captain Cardboard? Then again, she probably needed more satisfaction in her life than that. I needed to find out all about that guy, and tomorrow was my chance. I would wine and dine her and get her to spill everything about him and their relationship. I needed to get to know my competition.
My competition? Was I seriously thinking about snatching her away from her boyfriend?
I didn't very much doubt that I could, I just felt awful for even considering it. I took relationships very seriously; I was brought up that way. My parents would be very disappointed in me if they knew.
On the other hand, I reminded myself, my parents loved Bella and all was fair in love and war.
Not that this was love, but close enough, I thought.
I could see Bella with me for the foreseeable future. I could very well picture her in my bed, opposite me on the breakfast table, spread out on said breakfast table…I could very well picture her in my life. I just didn't know how and if I would fit into hers.
ooooo ooooo ooooo
