I watched Bella as she exchanged pleasantries with Billy Black, out of courtesy I gave them privacy in their conversation, if I did not, listening to what Billy thought of me and my being with Bella I think I wouldn't have been able to control my angry outburst. So out of courtesy and my own sanity I ignored their thoughts and words and just stood and waited, a little to still.
Once they entered the house I knew it would be a struggle not to stay and listen, but I knew it would not have been a good idea if I did. Bella would tell me if we needed to worry about Billy Black or anyone on the reservation, not that I wouldn't have found out for myself a lot sooner, I was checking up all the time especially now that Bella was in my life.
So leaving Bella with the Blacks I ran home to where my family were waiting for me. They were all seated in the living room, still creating the illusion of normality.
"How is Bella?" Esme asked aloud even though I heard her question before she asked it.
"I think she was a little overwhelmed meeting everyone." I suggested, shooting a glare at Rosalie when I remembered how she had behaved towards Bella. I think I will have to have a few words with her about that.
"Alice has seen the perfect whether for the game Edward" Emmett told me, even though I'd already seen Alice's vision as she played it out to me. Emmett, Jasper and I then got into a long conversation about how the game was going to turn out ending in Emmett betting against Jasper.
I was just about to leave the house and return to Bella, I was of course missing her greatly, when an idea crossed my mind.
"Emmett can I borrow the Jeep?" I asked and was immediately granted permission from Emmett,
"Thanks Emmett" I shouted to him as I left and went towards the garage before he could even answer me. I heard his slight annoyance and his thoughts where not guarded as he shouted at me that he hated when I did that. I laughed.
I was planning on arriving at Bella's a little early so I could listen in on her and her father just to make sure that she had told him that I was coming round. As I reached two streets away from her house I could easily here her voice as if I was standing right next to her.
"Well Edward doesn't live in town, Dad." I stifled a chuckle as I heard her father, Charlie's thoughts. He didn't seem at all impressed that Bella was being so coy about this boy he knew nothing about. I continued to listen as I gave the jeep some gas and pulled forward towards her house. As she heard me pull up outside her house I heard and saw her in Charlie's mind jumping up. I practically ran to her door, I was missing her so much and the fact that she was just on the other side was pure torture. I rang the bell and waited.
