“You should really read it.”
Bob sighed, rubbing a hand across his face. “Sweetheart, I’m not reading Twilight with you.”
His girlfriend pouted from the corner of the couch, aiming a kick against his shin. “But you liked the films.”
“No, I said I thought they weren’t bad. I never said I liked them.” They had watched all of the films a weeknight ago, which Bob initially had only done to please her.
“And you said the films were better than the books.” Bob argued, reaching over to right the blanket covering her body as it had half fallen to the floor.
“Yes but I still think you should read the books.” She said, crossing her arms across her chest.
“I will go out and get you your favourite food, two new books, a new notepad and pencils if you don’t make me read the books.” Bob placated, hoping that it would satisfy her.
She looked thoughtful, eyebrows drawing together as she contemplated his offer.
“Which books?
Bob smiled, knowing he was winning. “Whichever you want, darling.”
She stared at him for another moment before tossing the blanket aside to cuddle into his side.
“I want Pho, I don’t have the last two books of ASOIAF and please get me a A4 notebook, not A5,” she paused momentarily, hand splayed against his abdomen, “and cuddles please.”
He pressed a kiss to her forehead, slouching slightly so she could get more comfortable. “Yes ma’am.”
The rain was smattering against windows, the sun setting just behind the tree line they could see from their backyard.
Ever since Bob had found out he was going to be stationed permanently in San Diego, they decided to get a house and set down some roots.
“I love you, even if you don’t want to read Twilight with me.” She whispered against his T-shirt, making Bob laugh. She soon joined in and they giggled together for a few moments before once again settling into the couch.
“I love you too. Do you want Pho from the place close to base or the other one?”
She hummed, eyes falling shut as she snuggled into his side. “Base please.”
Bob waited a few minutes before her breathing evened out and then gently untangled himself from her embrace.
After making sure she was properly tucked in for her nap, he grabbed his keys and wallet. He had a promise to make good on.
Next Day
“Dude, you should read them though, they’re actually pretty good. Not the writing but the story. Love triangle, vampires, werewolves and hybrid babies.” Rooster said through a mouthful of scrambled eggs.
Phoenix snorted, rolling her eyes. “Not the most intriguing introduction, Roos.”
Bob watched as they jabbed back and forth, pushing his food around on his plate.
Hangman and Coyote sat down with their trays, interrupting the squabble happening across from Bob.
“What’s up?” Javy asked.
“Are you team Edward or team Jacob?” Rooster asked, completely serious.
Coyote’s eyebrows shot up, mouth pressed into a tight line. “Dude, are you talking about Twilight?”
“Yes! Bob watched the films with his girl and he doesn't want to read the books but I think they’re pretty good and Nat says they’re crap and now we gotta decide what team.” Bradley rambled, earning another smack to the side.
Javy stared them both down, an unimpressed look on his face. “I don’t like fantasy.”
“WHAT? Dishonour on you, dishonour on your family, dishonour on your cow!” Rooster dramatically gasped, clutching at his chest.
The entire table rolled their eyes at their teammates' dramatics, all of them now used to Bradley’s antics.
“Okay fine. I didn’t care enough to choose a team, the films were good and I’ve already read the books but don’t tell my girlfriend that. She’ll never let me live it down.” Bob spoke up, making Bradley smile.
“I knew it. Everyone has read those books, except Javy here, apparently.” Rooster announced proudly, reaching across the table to fist bump Bob.
“I personally am Team Bella. Neither Edward or Jacob were good for her. Jacob was an immature kid, not his fault, it’s just his character and Edward had issues. Real issues. The best thing for her would have been to get the hell out of Forks and work on becoming her own person.”
The entire table fell silent, staring at Jake who didn’t even look up from his plate. No one spoke for a few beats before Bradley began clapping like a seal, shit eating grin in place.
Bob shook his head as he reached for his phone, texting his girlfriend. She would enjoy the currently bizarre conversation that was taking place and maybe he could get out of book club if he mentioned that apparently both Rooster and Hangman were fans of the series.
Hangman and Rooster like Twilight.
Make them bring food and the books next time you invite them over.
PS, you’re still gonna read the books with me, pls.
Damn, he really thought he’d gotten away with reading the darn books again.
If you and I are going to have a book club, no one else is welcome.
How come??
Club activities are strictly taking place in the bedroom.
He sent off the last text quickly, before pocketing his phone and turning back to the conversation.
He didn’t receive an answer until he was scheduled to fly. There was a short message and a picture attached.
Fine.
And beneath the text was a picture partially obscuring the view of what seemed to be his girlfriend’s favourite lingerie set and all four books of the series.
Bob couldn’t wait to go home.
