As I was walking to my truck after school I could see all the boys on the Varsity Baseball team running
to the Field house to work out for practice. Edward turned and started jogging backwards so he could
wave at me. "Bella! I LOVE YOU!" He yelled so loud the other kids in the parking lot started clapping
and shouting;
"Edward loves you Bella!" in unison. I mentally cringed and I could see Emmett punching Edward in
the chest laughing. They turned and disappeared behind the doors. I knew I could get him back when
he came over for dinner later. Then Alice magically appeared beside me snaking her arm through mine
as I opened my door.
"Hey! So, I am officially in Love! What? No witty comment? No, sure -sure Alice, what ever you say…
Hm-mm". She smiled brilliantly at me and for some reason I knew she meant it.
"So Jasper has effectively swept you off of your feet, huh? As I looked down at her I followed her
stare as her eye's tracked Mike Newton walking to his car. Just then Jasper came to stand beside Alice
his hand quickly entwining with hers. I couldn't help but smile, it reminded me of how Edward held my
hand. I think I do like Jasper more and more everyday I thought.
"I could kill him now for you Alice." Jasper said in a deliberate tone, he definitely was not joking. We all
watched as Mike got into his car and looked over at us. He looked at Alice almost apologetically.
She quickly looked down, "No, Jasper. But thanks, we only went out on the one date and he was
drunk I don't think he meant to push me down. He tried to apologize but Edward almost killed him for
even talking to him and thenyou scared him so badly. I just feel sorry for him now." Alice said in almost
a whisper. Maybe sheforgave him but I never would, I knew she only went out with him to that dance
because she wantedto be nice when he asked her. Then when she doesn't kiss him, he flies off the
handle and pushes herdown in the gym with everyone watching. I have never seen Edward and
Emmett run so fast. ButJasper was there first helping Alice up and he was on Mike so fast that Mike
was almost crying.
I watched as Alice waved at me over her shoulder still entwined in Jaspers arms. I jumped in my truck
and took off for home.
By seven-thirty Edward was throwing pebbles up at my window. "Bella, come
down!" He was half whispering, half yelling. I had to laugh.
I opened my window and threw a sock at him. "OK! Why don't you just knock next time?"
"I was trying to be more romantic!" He laughed.
I bounced down the stairs and Charlie yelled from the couch, "No later than ten Bell's."
"Okay dad!" And I was out the door. "Hey stranger" I said as I walked down the steps of my porch.
Edward easily picked me up and swung me into a circle kissing me at the nape of my neck.
"You smell good." He breathed into my ear as he set me down.
"You always say that! You should come up with some new material." I teased him.
"Yea well, maybe I should. You want to go for a walk?" He grabbed my hand and pulled me forward
towards the encroaching woods.
