~*Bella's POV*~
I sat on the plane anxiously awaiting to meet Charlie at the airport. I had missed him so much. And now I was finally able to see him again after eight years. My mother, Renee, thought it would be better if I didn't go back to Forks after I came back crying when I was ten because a boy named Mike Newton wouldn't leave me alone.
I had been there a month during summer vacation, and he wouldn't leave me alone. No matter how hard I tried to get rid of him. So Renee thought it would be best if I never went back. I think she over reacted a little.
But now that I was eighteen I was able to convince her to let me go. Or I would have to play the "leave you forever card". I didn't want to use that tactic but I desperately missed my dad. As much as I loved the heat of Phoenix, I missed the damp, greenness of Forks. And I absolutely loved how the early rain would feel on my skin in the morning.
The plane had finally landed. I always hated landing. How my ears would pop and how my stomach would flip.
As soon as the plane came to a stop I quickly gathered my things and practically ran off the plane. Being extra careful not to trip and spill my things. I was always clumsy. Not on purpose of course. I just didn't have very good coordination.
As soon as I got out of the gate I went to baggage claim. I waited impatiently. Wanting to get to Charlie and back to my old room. I finally spotted my things. I went to the waiting area and looked around desperately for Charlie. Where was he? Surely he remembered I was coming. I looked at every person in the room. Waiting to hear Charlie call me out. But then I felt a hand land on my shoulder. I quickly turned around. But I never expected what I was about to see.
It was a muscular bronze haired boy. He had the most gorgeous eyes I ever saw. His hand was still on my shoulder. He was wearing a white flannel shirt with a pea coat covering it. He looked like a god. He looked surprised though. Maybe he thought I was someone else. Maybe a girl he was suppose to meet up with.
"You must be Isabella Swan," he said with a smile on his face. I just stared at him. Who was he? How did he know me?
"Bella," I corrected. "Who are you?" I asked with curiosity. He looked like he was about to laugh.
" Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Edward Cullen," he stated simply. He gave me a smile and winked at me. I felt like I was about to melt.
" Well Edward, its nice to meet you but I have to find my dad," I said and started looking around.
"Charlie sent me," he said. He started laughing.
"Charlie sent you? And why are you laughing?" I asked a little infuriated.
"I'm sorry. But Charlie always mad you seem like a little girl. I expected you to be shorter and tinier." he responded. Great. Charlie was talking to people about me.
" Well as you can clearly see I'm not a little girl. Why did Charlie send you?" I snapped back.
"I'm sorry Bella. I didn't mean to make you made. I thought I would be spending my time playing dress up with you. But don't worry this you suites me much better." he winked at me and continued, "Charlie and my father, Carlisle, are best friends," he responded.
"oh," I said and started to blush. I could feel my cheeks getting red. He stared at me for a minute.
"Can I help you carry your things?" he asked politely. I nodded my head yes. Still too embarrassed to speak. We walked to his car in silence. But he had a smile on his face the whole way.
" Why are you smiling?" I asked breaking the silence. He made his smile bigger.
"I'm guessing since you didn't know who I was Charlie hasn't told you the news yet?" he asked almost menacingly. We reached the car just then. And I stopped dead in my tracks. He had a brand new Volvo. It was beautiful. How could he get one? I didn't move. He looked at me.
"She's beautiful isn't she?" he asked rubbing the top of the car. I instantly got jealous of him. I always dreamed of having a Volvo.
"She's gorgeous," I breathed. He put my bags in the trunk and off we went the Charlie's.
"Charlie was called out on an emergency with my dad," Edward said. It was like he was reading my mind. Charlie was the chief of police at Forks. And I knew everyone who worked with him. I don't remember my dad saying he worked with a Carlisle.
" Is your dad a cop?" I asked.
"No but he's a doctor and he's always with your dad so they just call both of them at the same time," he said looking at me and not paying attention to the road.
"Look at the road, and you're going over the speed limit," I stated. He just laughed.
"Bella I've lived here my whole life. I know every road and every speed limit. And I know where I will get caught and where I won't" he said.
"Charlie wont forgive you if you kill me," I said and looked out the window.
" And why would I do that? I would ruin everything." he said
"What do you mean "ruin everything"?" I asked with concern.
"You'll see Bella, you'll see"
