What If?

Ch:6 A british breakfast

We sat across each other at the booth closest to the windows that overlooked the city that slowly came to life.

The restaurant was filled with an unbelievably sweet and delicious aroma of pancakes and waffles. And in the background played the song "Welcome to Wonderland" that was calming and sweet that just added to the perfectness of this place

A very cheerful waitress, Anna as I read her name badge, approached us and asked us what we were having.

"I'll have a stack of pancakes and a cup of tea please." I said and that caused Edward to chuckle.

"I see you're more of british than you are American." He said and that caused my confused face to relax and let a small laugh.

"Why Edward I love tea. Is that a bad thing?" I said in my best British accent. "Talking about tea, I invite you to a tea party at 4 exactly."

"Why Miss Julliana, it would be my pleasure." He said while bowing his head and rolling his hand.

Anna, who I forget was there, laughed and asked, "How long have you two been together? Because you're one of the cutest couples I've seen."

I had schock written all over my face while Edward played along and said, "Just over a year. But I do have to say, shes meaner than she looks."

That earned him a smack on his arm and I said, "We're not a couple, wez just met this morning. And by the way, he's more annoying than you'd think he is."

That earned me an eye roll while I just shrugged and put my hands up in a its the truth what can I do way.(🤷‍♀️ like this)

Anna said, "Well I still stand with what I said and I think you'd make a perfect couple."

"See Juls, I'm perfect.", he said smirking, pride filling him; I just ignored him.

After a couple of minutes, Anna returned with two identical plates of pancakes and two cups of tea.

I poured syrup and dived in without sparing a second. After two pancakes, I looked up to see Edward closely watching me with an amused smile plastered on his face.

"What?" I asked and brought a napkin to my mouth, trying to clean any dripping syrup, "Is there something on my face?"

"You just look so cute eating like that. But you do know that theres no one after you, right?"

I rolled my eyes and said defensively, "I was hungry."

He suddenly reached close to me and brushed his finger on the corner of my lips, "You missed."

I felt a blush creepe onto my face and I tried to hide it behind my hair and hold Edward didnt notice.

We continued to eat in silence and later I ordered a cup of vanilla ice cream.

While I was enjoying my delicious ice cream I was Edward take a spoonful of it and shove it in his mouth in record time.

"Ouch!" Edward complained while closing his eyes and bringing a hand to his head.

"Brain freeze, huh? Serves you right." I stated while bringing my bowl closer to me. "How dare you take my ice cream? You were asked if you wanted, weren't you?"

After recovering from his brain freezing, he said defensively while crossing his arms in front of his chest,"I just wanted to see if it's as good as you claim it is."

"But I didn't say anything."
"Querida, you didnt have to say a word because your face spilled it all."
"Its creepy you know Edward."
"Cant help that you're beautiful Jules." He said with a genuine smile that instantly turned into a smirk and was followed by a wink.

"You're such a flirt Ed."I said without thinking and Ed instantly had an amused smile plastered on his face that I wanted to slap off.
"What did you call me Querida?"

"We've been here quite a while, dont you think?" I said awkwardly.
"Were not done yet Jules."

We payed for the breakfast and headed out. "What shall we do now?" I asked while checking my phone to see it was 20 minutes till 7.

"Id love to check out a library but I dont think it'll be open now. In fact I doubt anything will really be open before at least 8 maybe." Ed aaid sounding out his thoughts. "On another note, you can call me Ed or Eddie, I like it."

He said it so casually and I smiled and said,"How about a walk in the park? Maybe luckily theyll have a pond or a small zoo."

We agreed on that and started our walk to the National Park of Chicago. It was the perfect day for a walk. The park was 10-15 minutes away from the restaurant and on our way we made small conversations.

"What would a "perfect" day constituent for you?" Edward asked while quoting the word perfect with his hands.

"Before I answer that, why did you quote the word perfect?"
"Well that would kinda answer my question." Edward said while scratching his head nervously causing a few strands of his dirty blonde hair to fall onto his face.

For an unknown reason, my hands ached to move them away from, but I knew better and decided to keep my hands to myself.

I wanna start off by saying thank you to each and every one of you that's reading my story and voting, it means alot to me.

Secondly, I'm planning on editing a few things in the beginning chapters before I get to the middle. There won't be any major changes, slight ones that'll make things clearer.

So you might want to reread the chapters again and I'll notify you when I reedit them.

Thank you again💕
