Take What You Want Tidbits Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Sizzle, Fizzle, Drizzle

Excerpt . . .

I pull up to his house and let the car idle. He plays with my fingers as I think over my parting words. I feel like we need some of those, some closure to tonight's weird turn of events.

"Edward?"

"Yes'um, sweet lips."

I chuckle and roll my eyes. He bites his lip, holding in his laugh. "Look, I . . ." I pull my free hand through my hair and exhale. "Thank you for helping me tonight and defending me, no matter how unnecessary that was, but this . . . geez . . . this obnoxious flirting thing, it's just . . . I can't . . ."

Edward nods like he knows what I'm saying, though my hand's still on his chest, and he's smirking.

"I get it. I have a girlfriend now, and you have an unfit to be a man jokester. It's just not the time for us."

"I couldn't have said it better myself."

"That's because I'm so eloquent, like you."

Edward leans in, arms open to hug me. I give in and embrace him. He really smells good, even though he's a little bit sweaty. He tightens his hold on me, and I feel his shaky exhale on my neck. My body breaks out into gooseflesh in response. "When I'm done with Jessica," he whispers against my skin, "I'm coming after you, Bella." He places a soft, open mouth kiss on my neck and backs away slowly. The tension, the heat, the pull that I feel for him hangs in the air.

He runs his hands down my arms all the way to the ends of my fingertips, letting my hands fall softly onto my lap.

And then he laughs.

"Man, you're so right. No sizzle between us at all. More like fizzle." He shrugs, smacks my cheek like I'm his kid sister then jogs to his door.

"I open the door to Edward, kneeling with a ring in his hand. He's singing the bridal march." I love this Edward. He's like a kid on crack. He's all over the place.

I've read about dirty Edwards but [not] this type of dirty. :)
He is pretty lovable even though he is annoying and stinky sometimes. I hope his ears are clean. Gross!

Never read an Edward like this before. He's kind of endearingly obnoxious...if that's possible. Everything that comes out of his mouth just cracks me up.
