I groaned under my breath. Great, yet another reason for Edward to be pissed at me.
“Why would I be pissed at you?”
I startled at the sound of Edward’s voice, almost crumpling to the floor in my haste to stand up.
“H-hi,” I choked out, grimacing as I swayed on the spot, completely overcome by dizziness since I’d stood up way more quickly than I should have.
“How’s your head?” he asked, looking at me through the mirror as he squirted some toothpaste on his brush.
“It’s okay, I guess,” I replied truthfully. “Thanks for leaving me the tablets.”
“Mhmm,” he hummed through a mouthful of toothpaste as he began to brush his teeth. I knew I should probably do the same – my mouth tasted disgusting – but couldn’t bring myself to move any closer to him just yet.
“Edward? Can I, um… Can I ask you a question?” I eventually asked once he’d almost finished brushing, looking down at my hands as I shifted nervously.
“Mm.” He held his finger up, signaling for me to wait a few moments, then finished rinsing his mouth out before turning round to face me. “Go ahead.”
Here goes nothing...
