Bella's POV

A sense of relief flowed over me as I hopped into my rust bucket of a car; it was like a home away from home. Toady at work was an absolute nightmare. Mike offered to take me out to dinner one night. I refused without even trying not to hurt his feelings, that boy was really starting to get on my nerves its like he cant take no for an answer. That reminded me of someone. "Opps, I completely forgot, Jacobs going to be so annoyed." I said to my self nervously. I promised him that I would come visit him as soon as school had finished, but forgot about work. The clock on the dashboard said 4:30. "Just a quick visit, that's better than not showing up at all," I comforted my self at the words. I put the key into the ignition,

"Dammit! Why won't you start?" I yelled at the dashboard whilst hitting it. "Ugh" I groaned Mike must have heard me yelling and come out to see what had happened. He began walking over towards me; I prayed that what ever it was that he came out to get it was in the opposite direction. "Damm you car why did you have to break down now, are you out to get me?" I mumbled under my breath, I realized that I was talking to a car and blushed. Mike took my blushing the wrong way and immediately he was chirpy, he tapped on the window. "Can I help you with anything?" happiness thick in his voice, obviously not concerned about my car .It made me sick. I wound the window down just the tiniest so he could hear me. "No don't worry just a little car problem, I'll call Edward and tell him to come pick me up." I said in a hurry hoping that my lie had worked knowing full well that I didn't have a cell-phone and the whole Cullen family were on a 'Hiking trip'. Mike didn't look so chirpy now. I snickered to myself at his rejection, though he was still to chirpy for my liking. He was quiet for a moment. "Are you sure I can't give you a ride you to Charlies? I knockoff in about ten minutes." A sleazy smile came across his face; I thought I was going to be sick. I sighed I can't believe I was going to say this. "Okay" it was rude but I spat the words at him. His smile became even wider and then he opened my door, like a celebrity being snapped by the paparazzi I had my head down and covered my face so no one could recognize me. We hopped into Mike's car it sounded like it was going to drop dead any second, I prayed to God not in the middle of the nowhere.

"Hows Charlie?" Mike asked, not really interested just trying to fill in the silence. "Fine" was my quick and sharp reply.

"Hows Edward?" Interested in my reply to this question. The last time Mike saw Edward and I was when I wouldn't talk to him due to him not telling me the complete truth about Victoria. "Maybe he thinks he has a chance?" the thought sent and unimpulsive shiver down my back. I was going to enjoy making him depressed.

"He is great I really love him, I'm soooooo lucky." I put a bit too much enthusiasm into the answer, but it worked Mike shut up. I grinned at my days work. I realised we were at my house, I hopped out without another word and shut the car door. I waved to Mike and headed towards the door. The wall clock read 5:00 "Maybe I can just ring Jacob, and beg for forgiveness and ask him to go pick up my car "I grinned sheepishly at the thought of his reaction. I began to dial his number.

Mike's POV

Bella started work about an hour ago but I haven't had the courage to go ask her out for dinner. I know she has a boyfriend "Edward" I hissed the name under my breath, but she wasn't talking to him yesterday and looked very annoyed with him. I took a deep breath and gave myself a personal pep talk "Keep your eye on the prize Mikey don't get discouraged, if don't succeed try and try again," I strolled over to her and rested on arm on a shelf and placed my head in my hand. She looked up from ordering the snow goggles and pricing them to look who it was saw it was me and began working again. I was not going to be discouraged by something like that. "So Bella how about I take you out for dinner you look like you need some rest" I stood tall and proud. "Not in a million years Mike im going out with Edward and even if you were the last man on earth I would still not go out with you." she spat the last word at me. I stood there silent. "Do- I-make- myself-clear?" She said the words slow like I was stupid. She then walked off saying nothing else and headed to her car. I heard a muffled yell "is that Bella? I better go check what's wrong" I poked my head out the door to see Bella blushing, she must have seen me. "She so wants you man" I chanted in my head as I headed towards her car. I tapped on the window she wound it down just the tiniest. "Can I help you with anything?" I grinned; maybe she was ill she looked a bit green. "No don't worry just a little car problem, I'll call Edward and tell him to come pick me up." she said it fast so it came out in a slur. "Stupid you don't know what you're missing, ditch Edward and come to me" I imagined Bella dumping Edward and hugging me, I knew it would never happen though my smile turned into a frown. Bella snicked, could she read my mind. An idea came to mind" Are you sure I can't give you a ride to Charlies? I knockoff in about ten minutes." My smile was back "what a good idea". "Okay" she spat the word but really she loved the idea she just put up the act. I opened the door she put her head down and headed to the car. After 10 minutes of silence it began to unnerve me so I tried to make her talk." Hows Charlie?" Not really interested.

"Fine"

"that's all you have to say?"

"Hows Edward?" "Maybe she tell me about how they got into a fight and broke up. I know earlier in the shop she said they were back together but she may have just said that"

"He is great I really love him, I'm soooooo lucky." This wasn't the answer I was hoping for. I stoped the car at her front porch. She got out without another word just a smug wave and headed through the door. I drove home faster than the speed limit due to my frustration; I was almost home when I saw a pair of blue and red flashing lights behind me. "Aww fk mums going to kill me when she hears this." I whinged as I pulled over. My hear beat increased when I saw who it was. It was Charlie he must have been going home from his shift. He looked really angry. I wound down the window ready for the full wrath of Charlie. He began pacing up and down the side of the drivers door. "Well, well, well what do we have here ……Speeding?" it was a rhetorical question, I answered any way.

"Yes sir"

"DON"T BE SMART WITH ME, YOU LITTLE SHI..…… wait" he leaned in to see who he was yelling at for the first time.

"Mike?" he looked confused

I just nodded scared to say anything

"Sorry to go off at you but I'll still have to give you a speeding ticket and ring you parents." He said in an official tone.

He wrote the ticket and handed it to me "Be careful Mike I don't want to do that again" He said in a gruff officers voice. He straitened up and strode back to his car and drover away.
