Mine

Chapter 2

- Where were you, Bells?

How can a beautiful day be ruined? By Emmet Swan. He was a specialist.

- Out. – I walked quickly to the stairs trying to avoid him.

- Out where? – A sweet voice made me want to scream and tell them to mind their own businesses. But I turned round and looked into the delicate and beautiful face of my sister, Alice.

- C'mon sis, you know you can tell us!

No, this is the only thing I can't tell you.

- I was walking around. Why are you so nosy? I'm tired.

- Have you already had dinner? –

-Yes.

I have always suffered from terrible bad luck. Maybe that's why my stomach decided it was a good moment to sound. I was hungry, but I didn't want to give them a chance to ask about my whereabouts.

- You little liar. – Emmet grabbed me by the waist and pulled me up as if I were a bag.

- Let me down, jerk!

- No way, little princess. You're going to eat with us what our adorable sister here has just cooked. – Alice smiled innocently.

- What? Are you crazy? You let her cook? – Alice began tickling me as we made our way to the dining room, well Emmet, I was

- How dare you talk about your older sister in that tone, Isabella? – I laughed. It was so easy to be with them, to live with them.

Emmet was the eldest and the one who actually worked. He was a professional football player. Not very well known, but he played fairly well. And believe me that I'm not saying this just because I'm his sister. He was the first of us to move to Seattle when he received an offer from the Seattle Seahawks.

Alice was the second one to leave me in that small and boring town called Forks with Chief Swan, my dad. She decided to study crime analysis. Nothing less appealing to my sweet sister, but there she was in her second year and happy with that. Weird.

I was the last one to leave Charlie alone. I did not know what to study yet. But I needed them more than anything; life was so boring without them around. It wasn't easy, I had created a strong bound with him and he felt it like a betrayal, just to leave without a real reason.

That's why I was here in Seattle, having dinner with my brothers.

- So… What are your plans for this year, Bella?

My plans… I looked up and smiled briefly. – I was accepted in the University of Seattle, also. I'm starting classes in a week.

- Really? What're you going to study?

- I was beginning to think you didn't care about me! Not even a single question in like… what? A week?

- We're busy people, Bells. –Emmet smiled while eating.

- No, you're not! You are in holidays.

Alice smiled eating her salad, it wasn't hers but she was vegetarian so we had our steak and she hoarded what she was going to eat. I exchanged glances with Emmet, it was not really nice to just eat meat and nothing more. – Em means he is very busy with that new girlfriend…

- You… - I stared at him for a few seconds, his cheeks were flushed. – New? How many have you had and why haven't I met a single one? Where are your modals?

Alice laughed slightly. – I don't think you're going to really like this one…

- Why not? – My brother's tone was sharp.

- Because you know how jealous she is of her older brother, it's natural Em.

- Hey hey, I'm listening, Alice!

They laughed and I could feel the tension smoothening. Well, I'd have to meet this girl anyway.

- Now… where were you really?

No. no. no. I knew I'd give up if they insisted enough and by the looks they gave me I wasn't the only owner of that knowledge.

- Wandering.

- Really? – Alice shook her head and for the very first time in my life I saw the always carefree Emmet looking at me seriously. – So, why wouldn't you answer your mobile phone?

They got me there. Maybe because I had it in silence?

- I'm 20 you know? I don't need you breathing behind my neck as if I were a little girl.

- We're not treating you like that. – My sister sat near me, holding my hand in hers. – But this is not Forks, it's bigger and with more population. Here you'll find things you couldn't ever imagine…

Have you already met Edward, dear sister? Is that what you're talking about?

- I lived in Phoenix with mom, but of course you didn't. I know what is a city like, and… just leave me alone. - I made my way the most dignifying I could, hiding the obvious fact that I was running. I closed my door loudly and open my notebook.

I'd a mail.

Suddenly everything else lost importance.

In my mail box I had a message from Edward Cullen.

I hesitated, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to know what the rules were. I clicked and hold my breath.

Isabella,

I know you'll be freaking without even reading a single line. Just don't.

1)You'll obey me in every single thing.

2)I won't share you. Never.

3)You'll come to my house on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I know you work in the weekends.

4)You MUST tell me what your limits are the first time we meet again.

See you on Monday.

I wasn't shocked. It wouldn't make any justice to my feelings, I was overwhelmed. My limits? What was this man talking about? How did he know I worked in the weekends? Was I going to see him on Monday? Hell, I started university on Monday.

I took my notebook with me and put it on the pillow. Well, Edward, I'll see you now. I opened his profile and there it was, his beautiful face smiling at me. Or at the camera, it didn't matter much.

I'd been in Seattle for just five days and I was bored to death. Emmet was never home and Alice, well Alice usually disappeared, just like that you were talking to her and you went to the kitchen to prepare tea and she was no longer where you had left her. She was always moving, she couldn't remain quiet. Usually she was out, shopping, and although she tried to drag me there I refused. That's why I spent long hours by myself surfing the net. It all ended when I came across with a page, it was more like a forum with chat.

That's where I met him.

Seconds after I registered he sent me a message.

Hello, I'm Edward 22 and I want to help you find what you want.

I felt weird, what was he talking about? As if he knew what I wanted? I took a look at his profile and probed he was completely right. Now I knew what I wanted. I wanted that bronze hair tickling my neck and those thin and beautiful lips on mine.

I wanted him.
