Another of my dormant stories is showing signs of life again. Chapter 25 will be seeing the light of day soon. Take a peek and see what's in store.
“Hey guys.” I tried to keep my eyes off of Edward. “Thanks for bringing the food, Emmett.”
Trying to not look at Edward was impossible. My eyes were drawn to him and as I stood up with the bags in my hands, our eyes locked. My heartbeat took off and my pulse raced just at the look in his eyes. I was frozen again, trapped in the same hypnotic gaze he had the day I first met him.
Breathe, Bella. Get a hold of yourself and get the hell out of this room.
I couldn't make myself move… couldn’t tear my eyes away.
Move your ass, Bella. Get away from him before you do something stupid.
Stupid might be a good thing right now, Bella.
I shook my head to get rid of that thought just as I heard that sweet voice.
“Do you need any help?” Edward asked.
I hadn’t let him get close enough to me since that day in the car to even hear his voice. The sound of it made my stomach do flips and definitely didn’t help with the speed of my heartbeat. There was no way I was letting him follow me into the kitchen…alone…where anything could happen.
“I got it. That’s what I’m here for.” My voice was amazingly steady considering I could barely breathe.
I turned my back and walked as fast as I could to the kitchen. From behind me, I heard Jasper’s quiet voice. “Edward, breathe.”
As soon as I turned the corner, I dropped the bags and fell against the refrigerator. The cold metal of the door stung my back and I remembered the ridiculous outfit Alice had dressed me in. I could kill her for making me wear this and parading me around half naked in front of Edward. I just wanted to find someplace to hide and stay there until this whole party was over. There was no way I was going to make it through this day.
