The door of Alex's bedroom creaked open two inches. She had heard her mother yell and she'd woke up. "You can't keep this from her Bella, it's who she is." She heard a husky male voice say to her mother. "Oh no? Watch me. This is the reason I left Forks Edward! To get away from, well, you know what." Bella said, obviously agitated by this man named Edward. "Stop playing around Bella. I will see her! She's my daughter for god's sake!" Edward said, starting to yell. "Shhhh! Alex is asleep upstairs." Bella hissed. My father? Alex thought.
Little did she know, Edward heard her think, and he grinned when he did. "Well I have to see her sometime." Edward pleaded, his voice more gentle and smooth. There was a long silence. Her mother was probably thinking. Bella sighed. "Alright. You can meet her. But!" Bella started, "Only when she turns 18. Then she can decide for herself whether or not she wants your life style." Edward groaned, and silently, so did Alex, making Edward fight off a laugh. "Fine! The minute she turns 18, and no later. On her birthday. Ok?" Bella paused.
"Ok. Fine. On her 18th birthday. But not until then!" She said, pushing Edward out the door. "I love you Bella!" Edward said sweetly, knowing how much she hated to hear it before getting the door slammed in his face. Edward laughed as he walked out of the apartment building, heading for his old silver Volvo. As he remembered how sweet Alex's voice was, or at least, her thoughts. He smiled as he climbed into the driver's seat, and sat there for at least 5 minutes, imagining what she might look like.
Did she have his golden, butterscotch eyes? Or her mother's dull, human like eyes? What color hair did she have? Did she have his attitude? Or his charm? Suddenly, there was a loud lap on his window, interrupting his thoughts. It was Bella. He rolled down his window, and smirked. "Change your mind?" He asked playfully. "If you're planning on sitting here for the next three years, you might wanna change your mind now, because she's fifteen. And human." Bella said sternly, then walked back up into the complex.
Oh, he'd changed his mind alright. But not about leaving. About their deal. All he had to do was make a few adjustments to his look, and take care of a few other things as well. He was going to see Alex. And soon.
