A.N.: Heyyy! Here is Ch 2!

I was gonna post this last night (7/13) but yesterday was actually my birthday. I'm 20 now! YAY! I didn't do anything special last night bc I had work & so did my parents and brother, so we're planning to go out to dinner tonight. But yeah, it also got really late when I remembered I had to post Ch 2, so I'm doing it now! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. SM does. I also don't the rights to the song Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings - it is written by them (& S-Curve Records is their record company). I just love the song and the lyrics, so I am borrowing them for this story! :)

ENJOY! :D


CHECK YES JULIET

CHAPTER 2

Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back
For us tonight

An hour and a half had passed since Edward tossed pebbles at my window to get my attention. For one thing, he is not a quitter to get what he wants... and I have many experiences with him involving him getting what he wants, including me. Of course I was all for that anyway! I wanted him as much as he wanted me.

He even told me that before we had met that time in the garage he had been secretly pursuing me. He had a thing for me and didn't have the guts to come up to me. Especially with me being the Police Chief's daughter – who would want to even try asking me out?

I was done with my homework and was just laying in my bed listening to more of Edward's covers when my iPhone buzzed with a text message from one of my best friends, Alice. I opened it up and right there was a huge picture of Edward rocking out on his guitar.

The way he looked so alive playing brought back the memory of when I first met Edward...

FLASHBACK:

I was walking home from the bus stop on the highway with my best friends, Alice and Rosalie. Since we go to school in Port Angeles and don't drive; the bus it is. It's an hour ride to and from Port Angeles Academy, and once we get off the bus and walk the twenty minutes to my house, it's after four PM. I hate coming home so late, but what can I do? My education is worth two hours traveling time five days a week. I probably get a better education than at Forks High.

We're in my neighborhood and just chatting about having a small road trip down to Seattle to get prom dresses. Everyone knows you have to go to Seattle to get the best and you have to go EARLY! Even if it's early March, you have to find your dresses around then or else your stuck with the worst dresses that look ugly or don't even fit you because your size ran out.

As we got closer to my house, we passed the one huge house on my block and rock music was blasting. We've known about the new neighbors, Dr. and Mrs. Carlisle Cullen, since the beginning of the new year. They moved from Chicago with their son, Edward, and nephews, Jasper Whitlock and Emmett Cullen. Everyday we heard the guys playing in the band they're in with each other, but we never saw them. Their garage door was always closed.

But this time it was completely open!

As we got closer to the house, we saw three guys enthusiastically playing their music. I recognized as one of the songs by My Chemical Romance. Famous Last Words, I think.

We were by the curb so we couldn't see every detail of the three guys, but Rose being the hooch she is, grabbed mine and Alice's hands and led us up their walkway. We were standing right at the door of their garage.

My eyes immediately zoomed in on the guy playing the guitar. His reddish brown hair was a styled mess. He wore a Green Day band tee over a white long sleeve tee that was rolled up to his elbows and his jeans were all distressed, in a way that can't be done by clothing companies and he had a pair of beat up all black Converse. He was just killing on the guitar with an awesome solo from Famous Last Words. And when his mouth opened up to sing along, I melted. His voice was just perfect... deep and very smooth, like chocolate. He was the only one I saw.

My eyes traveled down his body to where the guitar was against his torso. The way his fingers moved over the strings so quickly turned me on. On the inside of his left wrist, I saw black ink... they looked like words to me, but I couldn't really tell from my distance. And his lip was pierced. I found it really sexy, to be honest. In my school you couldn't be pierced on your face; only ears, and if you have a body piercing, no one knows about it since it's never seen.

But I digress.

The hoop in his lip is hot.

Finally he actually looked up and only looked at me, giving me a smile as he sang the words. I smiled and blushed in return. My friends must have gotten the same look from the other guys because I could hear them giggle. I was a bit embarrassed that we were caught peering in on their band practice.

The song died out and my guy with the guitar said, "Let's take a break guys." His voice sounded yummy when he just talked. I internally let out one of those sighs that southern belles make when they swoon. Yeah, that's what I did.

"Hello ladies," the big guy who was playing the drums greeted.

"Hi," Alice, Rose and I said simultaneously.

"And who might you three lovely beauties be?" the blonde guy drawled. His eyes were actually on Alice, while the huge guy with the dimples gazed at Rose. My guitar guy leaned against the door, sneaking looks at me that made me continue to swoon. His eyes were an emerald green and I couldn't stop staring at him.

"I'm Rose," Rose introduced. "And these are my best friends, Alice," she pointed at Ali, "and Bella," she pointed at me.

"Bella," my guy murmured.

"Hi," I whispered, still blushing.

"Hi. I'm Edward."

Edward...

He looked like an Edward. I was unsure who was who when they first moved here, but now I knew he was Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's son. The other two, Emmett and Jasper, must be their nephews and Edward's cousins.

"So what brings you to my garage door? Did you like the show?" he asked with a cocky grin upon his face.

"Yeah. I've heard you guys before, but this is the first time I've seen you play with the door open. You guys are really good."

"Yeah, well, this has been one of the first nice and sunny days here, so we decided to open up the door and let fresh air in. If I'd known I'd see you walking around here, I would have always had it open."

I blushed again. God, can the blush just go the fuck away!

"So do you live close to here?" Edward wondered, holding out his hand for me to take. Instinctively I took it, trusting him even when I didn't really know him. He led me over to a small loveseat that was by a window in the garage. As he sat down, I just sat down next to him as if it was normal, that I was comfortable with him being next to me so close.

"Yeah... just three houses down across the street."

"Oh... you're Chief Swan's daughter. I remember Dad mentioning about healing Chief Swan's daughter."

"Yeah, I'm clumsy. Out of nowhere, and for no reason, I trip or crash into things... I'm just naturally uncoordinated. You might want to be careful being around me," I jokingly say.

"I'll take my chances," Edward smiled.

We talked for a few more minutes and then Emmett, I think, interrupted us saying break was over.

"Sure, Em." Edward turned back to me and said, "You girls can stick around. Maybe another twenty minutes and then my mom comes home."

"Um... sure," I nervously say.

Edward ran two fingers across my cheek, and I leaned into his touch, then he stood up and grabbed his guitar, starting to play a few notes that made Jasper and Emmett catch on. The girls and I sat on the loveseat and just watched the guys play. Fifteen minutes passed and I realized it was really close to five and we needed to be at my house for when Charlie comes home.

"Shit! We need to leave," I whisper shouted.

"Oh fuck! You're right," Rose said, then turning to the guys. "Hey, um... we need to leave now. But we'll be around."

"Sure, Rosie," Emmett grinned. "Maybe we'll see you three tomorrow?"

"Absolutely!" Alice beamed. "Bye Jazzy!"

"Bye Alice," Jasper replied, tipping an invisible hat to her. She giggled and curtsied for fun.

Rose and Emmett had their own private goodbyes. It almost looked as if they were about to jump eachother by the way they were looking at eachother. We needed to go before Rose did jump Emmett's bones.

I was about halfway down the driveway when Edward came running out. "Forget to say goodbye to me, Bella?"

"Oh, I'm sorry! It's just that I really need to get home or Charlie will have a fit," I said with a trembled voice.

"It's fine. Is it, uh, too bold of me to ask a beautiful girl like you for her number?"

"No," I smiled. "It's not." Edward pulled out his phone and I rattled off my number. A few seconds later my phone rang.

"Now you have my number." Then he reached for my hand, lifting it up to his lips and pressed a kiss to my knuckles. Fuck me, his lips were so soft. "Until we meet again," he cockily grinned, letting my hand fall to my side and walked backwards to the garage, not taking his eyes off me until he was in and I was walking away for the night.

My house is only less than a minute walk away from Edward's. The girls and I hurried there and immediately cracked open our books to give off the illusion that we've been doing homework, and I started pulling out dinner. Something easy tonight since I was blind about the time, getting caught up in Edward, so maybe spaghetti.

By the time 5:30 came around and my dad was opening the door, calling out for me, the aroma of fresh tomato sauce with garlic and basil filled the air. I was just putting the pasta in the pot and listening to Alice read aloud the homework assignment we had in English. Rose was busy doing her Physics homework since she wasn't in mine and Alice's AP English class.

"Smells good, Bells," my dad complimented. I nodded and smiled.

Thankfully we didn't have much homework tonight, and I got a most of it done while making dinner and I just needed to look over my notes for my upcoming Calculus test. The girls left just as I was finishing setting the table, and we had our hushed conversation of going back to Edward's after school tomorrow out on the porch.

My mother came home at exactly six from her ceramic shop as dinner was put on the table. My mother can't cook for shit, so it's been my job to do that. My parents and I had an agreement: I make dinner and set the table, they clean. At least my mother is capable of washing a dish, and it gives my parents some alone time while I hole myself up in my room. Dinner was uneventful, just my parents asking about school. I never brought up that I saw Edward play.

I quickly studied and decided to finish off the night with reading my favorite classic book, Pride and Prejudice. Around eleven, when I usually pass out for the night, I received a text from Edward.

Sweet dreams, beautiful. xo ~ E

END FLASHBACK


A.N.: What did you think? Please show me some love and review! :D

Again pics and the MCR music video are up on my blog! It's one of my fave songs by them (& I like ALL their songs & the video was SICK! SO GOOOOODDDD! LOL!)

Also to remind you all that this story is getting weekly updated... either Fridays or Saturdays. It's just easier because I work Mon-Fri & don't get home till like 7 (when I'm done at 5... long commute and all...) Besides we all have lives and I say weekend postings are the best because, I'd say, a majority are off weekends and read updates then.

OK... I'll see you all next week with Ch 3! BYE! xoxo
