Grapes

Bella's P.O.V

My alarm clockwent off so I rolled over and hit the off button, I heard Charlie moving around downstairs but I felt no need to get up. It was a P.D day and I was going to sleep in. I turned over and hit something hard. I smiled and opened my eyes, there was my own personal mircle smiling back at me.

"Good Morning" He breathed. I was already dazed enough because of the early hour but his intoxicating presence didn't help my brain much. He leaned over and kissed me lightly and I was finally able to manage a weak "Hi". He chuckled at the effect he had on me.

"You better get up," He said. "Charlie wants to talk to you about something and he seems to think it's important." he looked confused.

"What's it about I asked?"

"Grapes." He said looking even more confused.

I laughed. "Right I forgot about that. Can I have a human minute?"

"Of course."

I rushed off to the bathroom and went through my routin as quickly as possible then I went downstairs to see Charlie.

"Bella!" he exclaimed.

"Ya Dad?"

"Erm well remember our discussion yesterday?"

"Vaguely.."

"Well since you don't really need to do anything today can you find some way to get rid of the grapes?"

I sighed this was not what I was planning but it was Charlie soo... "Sure Dad."

"Thanks Bells, I'll see you later!"

As soon as Charlie was out the door Edward was at my side.

"So what are you going to do with a bunch of grapes?"

"That's just it Charlie wants me to get rid of them but I have no idea on what to make yesterday was easy cause it was lemons and you can make tons of stuff with those but grapes? Most people just eat them as they are."

"You could make wine?"

"Ya." I snorted. "Charlie will love that I can just hear the gossip, "Hey did you here the cheifs daughter is selling wine?" as if."

He smiled "Well... you could make fruit salad."

I smiled too. "I love your suppport but who's ever heard of a fruit salad stand?!"

"Alright then why don't we look on the interenet?"

"Good idea!"

Edward must have seen how impaitent I was because he rushed home and came back with a laptop in a matter of seconds, and I didn't complain, we both knew how slow my computer was.

I typed in "Recipes for Grapes" in the google search engine.

"There's one for grape jelly" Edward suggested.

"Ya but it takes 20 minutes to prepare the grapes and then another 60-80 minutes to actually cook the stuff, I'll write it down as an option but let's look for something quick and easy."

"Right."

"Here's one for fruit cups." I said.

Edward looked at me strangely.

"Fruit cups?"

"Okay so they're a little kid-ish but they could work."

He smiled and turned away as I wrote down fruit cups next to jelly.

"O! Here's one for grape juice although that's kinda ordinary isn't it?"

Edward inclined his head slightly but I decided to write it down anyway, just in case.

After about 100 other suggestions we finally decided on making ice cream it was a fairly simple recipe and it only took about 2 hours to complete.

After I prepared the grapes by washing and slicing them. Then Edward put them in a bag with ice milk and the other ingrediants, and began shaking the bag to mix the ingredients together.

Once we'd finished making about 3 tons of ice cream we decided the best place to set up a stand would be Port Angeles so we packed up our stuff into his car and set off. This was the one time I actually appreciated Edward's driving skills not a single drop of icecream melted.

Thankfully it was a fairly hot day and everyone was looking for a way to cool down, unfortunatley that included people from school, people I'd rather not have to deal with after yesterday's episode.

"Hey Bella!"

I sighed, I can't ignore him now that he's seen me. "Hi Mike!" I said smiliing. "I thought you were home sick?"

"Oh." Mike blushed "That. No I feel much better now."

"Oh, that's good."

"So what are you doing here?"

"Umm... well I'm selling icecream."

Mike looked confused. "Why?"

"We had a lot of extra grapes at home and Charlie wanted me to do something with them so, Edward and I made icecream."

"Oh." Mike said, his tone darkening as he finally noticed Edward setting up the stand a few feet away.

"Well I better go help." I said quickly not wanting a repeat of yesterday. "Bye Mike."

"Bye, Bells, don't worry I'll scout out custonmers for you, your bussiness will be booming in no time."

I didn't know what to say, I didn't want Mike wasting his day telling people to buy icecream.

"No Mike, that's okay we don't..."

"No, no I insist, it's the least I can do." he said winking, before turning and walking away.

"Fun." I mumbled.

I turned back to Edward and helped him finish setting up the stand, then we set out a sign saying "Grape icecream 0.50 a cone." Edward had smartly brought a cooler to keep the icecream in so it didn't melt to quickly in the heat, it was amazing how hot it could be on such a cloudy day!

"Hey Bells!"

Oh God no, I thought as I turned around please no.

Ohh cliffie who is it, it's kinda obvious-ish you can probobley guess but anyway here's the long awaited sequel so tell me what you think of the begining and I'll write more:) Oh and thanks guys for pointing out my little mistake about the sun, it's fixed now :D
