Chapter Fifteen

 

Bella tried her hardest to not make any noise as she tiptoed out of her and Edward's bedroom the next morning. Edward was deeply asleep and she really didn't want to disturb him. She walked quietly out of the room then down the stairs.

She headed to the kitchen and proceeded to make breakfast. It was Mrs. Stevens' day off today, but aside from that Bella felt so at home in the kitchen that she realized immediately that she actually loved to cook.

Well, at least she remembered one thing, she thought sardonically.

Bella was so lost in her thoughts and the process of making breakfast that she was startled by a pair of strong arms that wrapped themselves around her waist.

"Good morning, beautiful." Edward whispered as he kissed the nape of her neck.

"Morning." Bella smiled. She turned around to get a good look at her husband. Edward in the morning could be summed up in one simple word…magnificent. His bronze hair was all over the place which, instead of making him look haggard, made him look adorable, in a very sexy way. He wore a simple white shirt and dark blue pajama bottoms.

"Um, what do you want for breakfast?" Bella asked, not sure what Edward preferred.

"Where is Mrs. Stevens?"

"Today's her day off, remember?" Bella reminded him.

"Oh, right."

"You'd think that you were the one with amnesia." Bella joked. Edward wasn't laughing, though.

"Um, Edward, I was joking."

"Well, don't." He snapped. Bella flinched at his cold tone.

Edward sighed and pulled her close, "I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to snap at you like that. You just caught me off guard with that joke."

"So, I'm not allowed to joke about it now?"

"Bella, I just…it makes me uncomfortable that you sometimes take it so lightly."

"I'm not taking anything lightly, Edward. I just refuse to wallow in misery until this whole thing is over."

"That's not what I meant Bella, and you know it."

"No, Edward. I don't know what you mean any more."

He walks a few steps away then turns back around. He looks so tired that Bella wishes she could just forget this whole thing and do as he asks. But she can't.

"Bella, I don't want to fight with you anymore."
