Peanut Letter Gift

Chapter-6

"Edward!" I tune cheerfully with the cupcake tray in my hand.

Sam looks at Edward while both were watching television "I smell something"

Edward side-eyes him for a second while facing the T.V "Yeah, she said she's making chicken for dinner"

"I meant I smell something fishy!"

I walked to the hall. I place the tray on the table and sit on the adjacent single sofa comfortably with a smile. I know it freaked Edward.

"Made cupcakes for you"

As an admiring grin flashes across Sam's face, I calmly inform "For Edward" while inclining my head on the name.

Sam frowns and leans his back against the sofa's.

Edward rises, bends towards me and puts a cold hand on my cheek and then forehead "That's the reason" he says "You have a fever! So your behavior is super different than usual"

"Your hand is cold" I say "I'm fine-really fine" I grit my teeth in a horror expression while jerking up my brows "A lot fine"

"I guess the insect prank went too far" I hear him whisper to Sam who nods in fear and after a gulp, says "Maybe a crack in the cerebrum or snapping off of her cranial nerves"

"Exactly..."

"Have them" I say slightly pushing he tray towards them "I was kidding Sam, you can have some as well"

"Er-no thanks" says uninterested Edward "There's definitely rat poison in it" I hear him whisper to Sam again and before Sam could ask a question of which Edward was aware, he replies "I know it because that's the only thing she can give me cheerfully"

"Hey!" I interrupt "Don't you want some?" gesturing to the cakes quickly.

He fake chuckles in nervousness "I'm full now"

"Well I would like to try one" says Sam grabbing one of the cupcakes as cool as cucumber.

I know Sam would be used as an experiment for the dangerous cupcakes. So Edward kept watching him. I don't have to worry for anything.

Sam nods while biting and both me and Edward wait for the comment "Different than usual, but good" he shows a thumbs up.

Without any more delays, Edward grabs a cupcake and bit it.

"WAIT!" Sam yells quickly but it was too late.

After a few seconds. Edward stops biting them. His face and eyes are all red. Lips turn crimson and he runs to the kitchen.

He rub my hands and stretch out on the chair relaxing. Then I notice my brother glaring at me "What?"

"Why did you add spicy pepper in this?" he asks.

"Zip your lips okay"

***

I lean on the kitchen doorway "You shouldn't have messed up with me"

He looks with red eyes and sniffed wiping his red lips with a tissue "Who's the one who started it?" he dumps the tissue in the bin.

"Who ordered you to wear those chimpanzee glasses at first?"

"Even if I did, you shouldn't have created this chaos" he states as he walks to the fridge again and pulls the door.

"You asked me a question and I replied to it!" she argue while turning towards his directions "The insect prank was dangerous. I could get a heart attack though"

He beams cheerfully with those red eyebags and watery eyes "Really? I'll do the same with a real scorpion fly next time"

I ignore and step to the stove where was a utensil which I kept for boiling some water. I was having strain in my leg so I decided to boil some water for the hot pack which gives me immense relief. I think I shouldn't boil it more.

The way he glares at her gives me shivers but I pretend that it never mattered to me. I get the lid off the utensil. But the boiling thing, burns my finger a nanosecond after which I blench and yelp at the same time bringing back my hand quickly and wringing it.

He flinches "What now?"

I still wring it and exhale the words "It's hot"

"Your hand burned?"

I nod letting out a sob without tears. Then suck that finger of mine.

He drops his shoulders, sighs and rolls his eyes. All at the same time. Then steps to the fridge.

Seems like he's in love with the fridge. That's why his expressions are cold.

I then feel a guilt poking my heart. Only if I hadn't given him that spicy cupcake, though Sam's tongue was used to all the spiciest dishes, it wasn't for Edward. Maybe that was the reason Sam tried to stop him for eating the cupcake.

I turn to apologize, as he was taking a medicine for my even after this harsh treatment of mine. Although, he was supposed to be angry.

"Edward..." I mumble.

He doesn't look behind the opens door of the fridge "Mhm?" then he does. His head sticks out with a Popsicle tucked in his mouth "Wot?"

I bring my brows together "What're you doing?"

"Eweeting-" he pulls it out of his mouth "Eating this" he shows the orange popsicle "Can't you see?"

I gape. Both in shock mixed with irk-more in volume if it could be measured "I thought you were concerned for me..."

He titters once "As if you were..." then tucks it back in his mouth.

"Dumbo" I walk away.

"Would you guys stop fighting like kids?!" yells Sam pushing me along with his path.

"Like kids?" asks Edward in defense after pulling it back from his mouth and pointing me with it "Tell your sister to stop messing up with me"

I seethe "Oh really-"

Sam pulls her back "Sasha!" he reminded "Enough!"

"You don't know this dude Sam" I complain pointing him "He talks nicely to Rosie. Lily, Harley and Jasmine also Goldielocks" I count listing their names on my fingers "ONLY!" I add saying it to Edward more likely than Sam.

He widens his eyes and raises his brows and throws this expression to Edward then asks "Is it this serious? So many girlfriends..."

I clear out "Bro they're only flowers and Goldilocks is a fish!"

His face twists in disgust "You're so weird!"

"She sure is-" says Edward.

"Both of you!"
