Authors Note:
This is where we left off in the story.
Edward: "Nothing man, I just thought I saw someone i knew." He mumbled something incoherent under his breath and I drove off,
my thoughts were only on Bella......
Edwards POV
I was sitting at my desk when I decided to call Bella since Jacob wasn't there, he was here. I picked up my phone and looked at the note Bella had given me,
Here is my number
916-111-1111
Love Bella :)
I dialed that number and she picked up after 4 rings.
Bella: "Hello"
Edward: "Hey Bella, its Edward." I heard her giggling in the backround.
Bella: "Hi Edward, how is work." I smiled to myself, she is concerned about my work
Edward: "Not so good.." I decided to see what she would say towards my answer
Bella: "Why, whats wrong? did something happen? did you get fired?" I laughed and rolled my eyes at her panicked voice
Edward: "First, its not going so good because I can't see you beautiful face, second nothing happened, and third I am to good at my job to get fired."
I could almost feel Bella blush after I admitted how I thought she was beautiful.
Edward: "Bella, i'm on my lunch break in about twenty minutes, do you want to grab a bite with me?"
Bella: "Well..I don't know, Jake comes home for lunch sometimes."
Edward: "I can ask him and find out if he is, and if he is not coming home for lunch, will you go." I heard her sigh
Bella: "Sure I will, call me back after you find out okay?"
Edward: "Will do, bye Bella,"
Bella: "Bye"

I got up from my desk and walked from my office across to Jacobs, I heard him grunting whilst a woman was moaning. I knocked on the door.
Jacob: "WHAT!" I backed from the door for a second, but my anger got the best of me so I pushed open the door and couldn't believe my eyes.
I saw the receptionist Gianna (naked) riding on top of Jacob (naked also) Jacob glared at me and I shot him a disaproving look.
Edward: "What the fuck are you doing screwing Gianna when your married to Bella?" Jacob sat the motionless while Gianna got up and struggled to get into
her jeans.
Jacob: "Why the fuck do you even fucken care? shes not married to you." I decided it would be best not to piss him off, and just to pretend to be friends
for the sake of my new growing friendship with Bella.
Edward: "Okay i'm sorry, I shouldn't be mad at you, when a guy needs to get some a guy needs to get some." Jacob smiled at me, I smiled a false smile back
I hate him and I didn't think agreeing with him was a picnic either.
Jacob: "So, what you need man?"
Edward: "I was wondering were you going home for lunch?" Jacob shook his head.
Jacob: "Naw, Ima be screwing around with Gia for most of the day, i'm going home when I want to go home, you feel me?" I wanted to shout PRICK right in his
face but I just nodded and walked out. I sat at my desk and called Bella again, she picked up on the 2 ring.
Bella: "Hello" she sounded desperate
Edward: "Waiting to hear the sound of my voice." I teased waiting for her response.
Bella: "Puh-lease, I was just bored and happened to be by the phone and ..and.....and.., okay maybe I was..just a little bit." I laughed
Edward: "So are you up for a afternoon with moi?" she giggled, I felt happy and content like we were together and not her a Jacob.
Bella: "He's not coming home for lunch?"
Edward: "No, Spero che ti piace la mia azienda Bella." I smiled wondering how she would respond.
Bella: I più definatley sarà," I hear her giggle in the backround, god I loved her giggle. "Bye Edward."
Edward: "I will pick you up in 10 minutes."

(10 minutes later)
I walked up to Bella's doorstep and knocked about 4 times before she opened it.
I looked up at Bella and it was like I was staring at an angel, she was dressed in H&M dark brown tank top, light blue jeans, and her hairstyle was down and
curled. I held out my hand, neither of of saying a word, she took it and we walked to my car. 5 minutes later we were in my car driving in silence, but I
decided it was time to break it.
Edward: "You look fantastic." She blushed.
Bella: "Thanks, hey where did you learn to speak french?"
Edward: "I learned it at the Peninsula College in Port Angeles." I glanced at her and she was looking at me, and we locked eyes for a moment before Bella
shrieked. I looked up at the windosheild and saw a car heading for us, I swerved to the right and nearly crashed into a tree.
Bella: "Oh my god, my heart is beating so fast."
Edward: "Sorry about that." I said not taking my eyes off the road.
Bella: "So where are we going for lunch?"
Edward: "Smoke House Resturant, you ever been there?" she grimaced when those words left my lips.
Bella: "Yeah, thats where Jake proposed to me at." I glanced at her for a second.
Edward: "If you don't want to go there its fine." she shook her head
Bella: "We can still go."
(10 minutes later)
Bella and I were at a the far corner of the resturant by the window, Bella was staring out of it so I took this time to observe her.
I looked at Bella's face then her neck, her shoulders, then her arms wich had a black bruise on it, I felt rage bubbling inside me.
Edward: "Bella what is that bruise on your arm?" she looked at me then looked at the bruise.
Bella: "oh..um...er...nothing." I grabbed her arm gently to get a better look at the bruise
Edward: "Bella I need you to be completley honest with me, did Jacob do this to you?" she bit back he lip, and sunk in her seat and nodded.
I looked at Bella and I realized that she needed me more than anything in the world.
