Bella and I had a great time in Japan. Nothing major happened except for gaining a few pounds, but luckily, Bella doesn't care about that too much.
We got back in time for Bella to get changed and jump into her car to go to school. After she left, I went to the station to let Charlie know she was back safely.
After talking for half an hour, I handed him some ramen and headed out. I had no plans for the day, so I decided to go see if anyone in my company needed help with anything... They did not.
"Alright, movie night it is." I said to myself as I tore my shirt off to get comfortable.
Halfway through the fifth Disnet movie, Bella showed up.
"Movie day?" she asked.
"Ya. There's nothing else going on." I said as I moved over so she could join me in my personal movie theater.
"What are we watching?" she asked.
"I'm halfway through Aladdin." I answered.
"Cool. Can I invite a couple of people over?" she asked before I could hit play.
"Depends on who. You know I'm not really a people person." I replied.
"Edward and Alice." she answered.
"...I don't mind, but be sure that Edward tells his parents where Alice is." I said after some thought. I have to keep up the pretense that I do not know they're over a hundred years old. I'm an adult, and she's an innocent little minor.
"Okay!" she said before she ran off to make the call.
Standing up, I put my shirt back on before anyone could see anything.
"Bella, I'll make some popcorn and get the sodas ready." I yelled out on my way to the kitchen.
"Okay." she yelled back while still on the phone.
After making three buckets of popcorn and throwing some soda cans into a cooler of ice, I drug the cooler into the theater so everyone can enjoy themselves. But I still kept everything between Bella and myself since Edward and Alice would not eat or drink.
As I was bringing the popcorn onto the room, our guests walked in.
"Thank you for inviting us over, Hadrian." Edward said.
"Thank Bella. I didn't even think of inviting anyone." I responded.
"Well, thank you anyway. Do you need help carrying anything?" Alice asked in her bubbly fashion.
"You can go pick out a movie, I got all this." I said as I continued on my way.
"Okay." she responded, skipping towards the shelves of movies.
After five minutes, the movie was selected, and snacks were dispersed between Bella and myself. Alice proceeded to grab my arm in a hug for the entire movie.
After watching Beauty and the Beast (I just had to), Bella asked if we could watch another movie.
"I don't mind. I have nothing else going on today. Maybe you should ask our guests if they can stay for another movie or if they need to leave first?" I asked her.
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Alice asked while still holding my arm in a hug.
"Believe it or not, no. But I do not know what your schedule is, and I DON'T want to upset your parents, even if Edward is playing chaperone for your sake." I answered.
"Such a gentlemen." Alice said.
'No, I just don't want some messed up version of the time police to come in screaming "FBI, OPEN UP!" ' I thought to myself.
"We have time for another movie, if you'll have us." Edward said.
"Alright. Y'all pick another movie." I said before Alice and Bella took off for the movies. "PREFERABLY SOMETHING LESS DISNEY/ROMANCE BASED!" I yelled after them.
"Hehe. One movie did you in?" Edward asked from his couch.
"That was actually the sixth Disney movie I've watched today, but yeah." I said with a tired smirk.
"Why are you so tired? Didn't get any sleep last night?" Edward asked.
"I haven slept in almost two days, actually. Time difference from Japan, plus I was flying solo. Then I talked with Charlie and went to try and do some work, but I wasn't needed today. Insomnia is a bitch I tell you." I said.
"Ah. That makes sense. So what kind of work do you do?" Edward asked. He could not read my mind since one of the first things I learned to do was shield my mind.
"I work at R&D Enterprises. So, it's a bit of everything, I guess. If you want something more specific, I work everywhere. Helping whenever anyone reaches a bottleneck or needs an outside view on their project." I answered.
"Huh. Well, obviously, it pays well." Edward said while waving around my house.
"Ya. But I had money before I started working there...can you keep a secret?" I asked him. I'm so tired I shouldn't be talking to anyone right now.
"Yeah, of course." he whispered, leaning forward.
"I actually own the company. I started it by myself and spent more than a year designing everything before I hired my first employee." I whispered back.
"Why is that a secret?" he asked quietly.
"I really don't want someone to come into my life for what I've built. I want someone that wants me, for me." I answered honestly.
"...that makes sense. I won't tell my sister." he promised me.
"Thank you." I said.
"Okay! We picked a movie." Alice said as they came back into the room.
"What movie?" I asked, hoping for an action movie to help me stay awake.
"Lethal Weapon." Bella said.
"Perfect." I said, sitting up straighter as Alice grabbed my arm again.
A little over halfway through the movie, I passed out.
...
Opening my eyes, I noticed the sun was already up but the clock showed it was nine. After fifteen seconds, I realized my head was on someone's lap, and fingers were running through my hair, which I honestly needed to cut. Slowly turning my head, I saw Alice just staring back at me.
"Fuck!" was all I said before jumping to my feet.
"Please don't be upset." Alice said getting to her feet.
"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at myself...and Edward and Bella. Where are they?" I asked after noticing two cars were missing from my driveway.
"They went to school. Bella made sure Edward called our mom so she knew what happened last night. She just wanted you to drive me home so she could meet you after you wake up." Alice assured me.
'Great. I get to meet Esme AFTER, spending the night alone with her daughter.' I thought to myself with a sigh.
