Hi everyone!
I'm hdurgan07 or Hayley. This is my first story and I have no Beta. This is just a teaser to see what you all think. I'll see you at the bottom.
"I hate this heat" Bella muttered under her breath as she walked down the street towards her apartment. Even after the sun had gone down, the Texas air was humid and heavy. It was a big change from the cool rain she had left back in her hometown of Forks, Washington.
Bella Swan had been born and raised in that little town. She grew up with her father, Charlie and her mother, Renee. They were high school sweethearts who married shortly after graduating and had her soon after. Charlie was the Chief of Police in her small town and her mother a Kindergarten teacher. The family was well loved in the community.
She had many friends there growing up but always felt like there was something missing in her life. So when the time came for college, she stepped outside her comfort zone and decided to go to UT Austin. She's now close to finishing her degree in English but still felt as though her life was incomplete.
As she drew closer to the apartment she shared with her best friend Alice Brandon, her phone rang and it was her pixie roommate herself. They had met in her first college class four years ago and had been inseparable since. "Hey Alice."
"Hey B. Just letting you know I won't be home tonight. Going over to Edward's."
"Again? Sounds like this is getting pretty serious Pixie." Alice had met Edward Cullen about two months ago at a coffee shop. He was her barista and was instantly drawn in. Edward had pursued Alice persistently for a month before she agreed to a date. She'd been seeing him every couple days since.
"He's the one Bella. I just know it! You know he's got a brother. . ."
"Stop Alice. I'm not ready to date just yet. Not after Mike." Mike was Bella's last boyfriend. They had dated for about a year when she suddenly walked in on him and his "best friend" Tyler doing things she never wanted to imagine again. It had only been 2 months since then and she wasn't ready to date yet. "Maybe in a few months."
"I understand. If you ever change your mind though, Emmett is really cute" Bella laughed. "Okay Pix, I'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget our breakfast with Rose." Rosalie Hale was their other best friend and they always had lunch together on Saturday mornings.
"I won't! See you later B!"
"Bye Pix!"
As Bella stepped past the last alley before her apartment, she heard a noise in down it. She turned her head and saw someone standing there staring at her in the dim street light. Her heart skipped a beat and fear started to set in. Next thing she knows, shes thrown had against the building wall in the alley. The strangers cold hand around her neck, his face against her throat. . .smelling her?
She knows she should be scared but as she takes a breath the smell of this stranger calms her. His hand around her neck moves to her hip as his other hand does the same. As he leans back from her neck, she takes in his beautiful face. He was a beautiful angel with chin length honey colored curls. His lips are smooth and looked oh so soft. His long eyelashes framing golden eyes. Her heart stopped again at the sound of his smooth deep voice.
"Hello, Darlin'."
Well what do you think? Please review and be kind if you do.
