Tell Me Why

"Mmm" I couldn't help myself as the mouthwatering Roasted Chicken Sandwich practically melted in my mouth.

Edward decided that we needed to act like a normal couple and actually go out on dates instead on hanging out at each others houses all the time. We both may be peaceful homebodies but that didn't mean we couldn't play. So here we are at Oven Spoonful in Manhattan on a Saturday night with me making strange noises as I eat my sandwich and Edward ate his. He enjoyed bothering me as I ate for some strange reason.

I couldn't stop the giggle that came when Edward scrunched up his face at my food, he hated chicken for some strange reason.

"You know the poor chef is going to think he made a bad batch of food if you don't stop making that face," I managed to say between laughs.

"Baby, you know how much I don't like chicken. I'm more of a steak kind of guy." He said smiling 

"Mhhmm." I moaned 

"Well love, maybe my food would be much more enjoyable if you were to stop making porno sounds as you eat," Edward joked.

Flashing a smile at me he said, "Besides I'm not really hungry anyway. We ate two hours ago, remember?"

"Well then you shouldn't have ordered anything. Now you'll be too full to even handle driving home. You should give me the keys. Friends don't let friends drive full. You know the slogan." The horror on his face at the thought me driving his Volvo is priceless. Nobody drives that car. 

I mean nobody.

"You know Edward you treat that car the same way Golly treated the ring in the Lord of The Rings trilogy. Next thing I know you're going to start calling it your precious." I curled my fingers at him and made a face saying My Precious, My Precious! We both went into an uncontrollable fit of laughter then.

"Ready to go love?" Edward asked. I couldn't help the warm feeling it gave every time he called me love. We just got through walking the pier.

"Almost," I said. He looked at me with an arched eyebrow. Just as he was about to say something I got on the tip of my toes and kissed him.

"Now I'm ready." He chuckled as he grabbed my waist and gave me a long sweet kiss that left me dizzy for little bit. He laughed more at my extra lack of coordination. My face turned a tomato red when I tripped and he had to catch me.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about love, although I do love your blush." He turned me in his arms looked deep into my eyes and said

"I would carry you anywhere."

I smiled slightly, I felt like he had something to tell me. Something he's hiding. He looks nervous. He's never been this way with me before. He's definitely hiding something from me.

"Edward, is there anything you want to tell me?" I asked

"There is, but I'm very nervous about telling you." He said looking down. His brows drew together and he bit his lower lip.

"You can tell me anything. Tell me."

"You're cousins told me to stay away from you. They don't want us to be together. They said that there was going to be problems if we stayed together." He said sounding extremely upset

I looked at him incredibly confused," they said what exactly?" I asked again, not sure if I heard it correctly

"They said that we shouldn't be together." He said once again. His little face slackened; his brow furrowed - eyes darting about in concern as if he were searching for a place to hide.
