Chapter Two

Bella Swan.

As I sat in the back of Renee's blue clio with Zac strapped up in his car seat, she kept looking over her shoulder at me and smiling. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing."

"Mom."

"What?"

"Tell me."

"That Edward seemed nice."

"He is." I replied.

"Good looking boy."

"Hmm." I agreed.

"And good with Zac."
"And your point is?"

"It wouldn't hurt to go out with him."

"I've only known him short of half an hour!"

"So?"

"How do you know he even likes me?"

"He liked you Bella, trust me."

I sighed, getting out a bottle of juice for Zac, which he grabbed greedily. "Of course, because he wants someone with package."

"You didn't see the way he looked at you with Zac, Bella."

I squeezed Zac's cheeks as he giggled. "Momma loves you!"

"M-m-m-" He mumbled.

"M-o-m-m-a" I encouraged, tickling his tummy.

He burst out into a fit of giggles, causing me to join in with him.

Edward Cullen.

"Edward likes a girlll" My mom teased as we drove home in the car.

"Don't push it." I mumbled groaning. "I can tell Emmetts going to give me hell for it if he overhears you."

"She's a lovely girl though Edward."

"I know. She's beautiful too." I admitted, blushing when I realised I sounded like a girl, and was confessing this all to my mother of all people.

"You going to call her?"

I froze. "How do you know about that."

"Oh come on Edward, I'm not stupid."

I sighed. "I'll text her when we get home."

"Why not now?"

"Your here."

"Oooo." Esme teased.

"Jesus." I muttered. "Your my mom! Not my friend!"

Esme chuckled. "And here I was thinking you were nicer than your older brother all along."

"I am."

"Then text her."

"I don't even know what to send!"

"Try hi."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, because that's so original. Anyway, why am I even coming to you for girl advice? Shouldn't I be going to dad?" I sighed. "Actually, forget that, I'll text her now." I frowned at my phone as I managed to come up with something that didn't look too stupid.

Hey, wuu2

it's Edward BTW.

I hit send, only to see Esme watching over my shoulder. "Keep your eyes on the road!"

My phone beeped, and I grinned.

Attempting to do homework, u?

"What does it say?"

"As if I'd tell you."

"Help with the bags then you can go text your girlfriend."

"Shes not my girlfriend." I mumbled rolling my eyes.

"I'll give you a month."

I rolled my eyes. "Bella wouldn't go for a loser like me."

being hassled by my mom ofc. :)

better than having to try to talk to my brother without him teasing me though.

I hugged my mom as I left her in the kitchen, and sat on one of the unpacked boxes as I waited for Bella's reply, it took me two minutes before I got bored of waiting and called her up.

"Hey," I answered as she picked up.

"Oh, hi Edward."

"You weren't busy were you? I'm sorry... I can go if you want?"
"No no no, it's fine." She assured. "I was just doing homework, that's all."

"You sound stressed."

She paused mid breathe. "Is it that obvious?" She asked quietly and self consciously.

"From the way your speaking, yes."

She sighed heavily. "I'm just exhausted."

"I could come see you... to help?"

"I couldn't ask for that off you. I hardly know you."

"It wouldn't be a problem, at all."

"Your a sweet boy Edward, I just don't like taking advantage of you like that, it's unfair on you."

"OK.. fair enough." I sighed. "I'll let you finish your homework."

"Good idea." There was mumbling in the background before she spoke again. "I'll see you tomorrow.

"Cool, OK. Tomorrow. Bye."

"See you later."

Bella hung up the phone and I smiled a little. I'd see her tomorrow for definite, after all there was only one high school in Forks, we'd probably have a few classes together.

Bella Swan.

"Your a sweet boy Edward." I smiled a little. "I just don't like taking advantage of you like that, it's unfair on you."

"OK.. fair enough. I'll let you finish your homework."

"Good idea." I agreed.

"Who's that?" Charlie asked walking into the room.

"Wait a minute, it's rude."

Charlie grumbled under his breathe, and flopped down on the couch turning his beloved flat screen on.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Cool, OK. Tomorrow. Bye."

"See you later." I smiled as I hung up.

Charlie shifted uncomfortably, turning the volume off on the television.

"Who was it?"

"Ooooh, it was that Edward from the supermarket wasn't it!" Renee gushed coming into the living room and taking a seat next to Charlie before kissing him.

"Yes. It was. He was offering to help me with some stuff."

Renee's eyes twinkled. "Kind too."

"Bella. I don't want you to be seeing any boys."

I sighed. "Dad, what happened with James was different."

"Too right." He grumbled. "But I still don't approve."

"I don't care what you think." I argued, picking up Zac and putting him on my lap as I sat on the living room floor. "And don't you dare start arguing with me when my sons in the room."

Charlie sighed heavily. "Bella, at the end of the day, your just going to hear I told you so from me, forget this boy already."

"I don't care if you like him or not." I muttered, picking Zac up and leaving my homework on the floor. "I'm taking Zac for a walk."

Charlie Swan.

She turned red, I could tell she was trying very hard not to begin shouting at me. "I don't care if you like him or not." She grumbled picking up Zac and dumping all her homework that was on her lap on the floor. "I'm taking Zac for a walk."

I waited till the front door closed till I heard Renee badgering me. "He's not like that Charlie."

"I don't care!" I shouted. "I don't want my little girl to get violated again because boys can't keep themselves to themselves!"

"It wasn't all James fault, Charlie. Bella played a part in that too."

"None of that was Bella's fault." I shouted. "It's all that stupid kids fault! If he hadn't decided to knock my daughter up, maybe I'd be a bit nicer to her male friends, but I can't can I? And do you blame me?!"

Renee rubbed the tops of my shoulders. "I don't blame you, don't get worked up about it, but don't judge the boy till you meet him. And you'll like him, trust me."

I faked a smile for Renee. "How do you know?"

"He treated his mother like a boy should, Charlie, and when he first saw Zac, Charlie you should of seen it. It was like... I don't know how to explain it." Renee continued on. "He was caring Charlie, and sympathetic. He's what Bella needs. Don't you think she's been brave throughout all of this? And she tries so hard to keep herself and her emotions intact that she needs someone to lean on. And Edward's that person."

We both kept silent for a while. "I want to meet this boy."

"Give them time Charlie." Renee smiled getting up to tend to our dinner. "Besides, I can tell his mother and I will get along just great."

I shook my head. Women.

Review, please! :)
