Hi guys

Chapter 2
Edward POV
I watched as Charlie Swan's cruiser pulled into the driveway carrying the girl that escaped me. I watched as Charlie and Emmett climbed out, grabbing her bags from the trunk of the Police car and then my eyes focused on the brunette that stood from the cruiser. It was like everything was happening in slow motion to me. I studied her closely. The way that her curly locks bounced to just below her shoulder blades, the way that puberty had been kind to her as she has developed huggable feminine curves but I couldn't tell what was hidden underneath the big jumper that she had on. She turned around and what was written on the back of the jumper made me see red. The word 'Tyler' was written across the back. Did she have a boyfriend? Didn't I warn her that she was only intended for me? Hadn't I said she'd regret it if she ever got close to anyone?
She began walking towards the house but halted, her head looking to the place where she had broken my heart. I remember her telling me she wanted to leave…like she could ever leave me I thought. I wanted to scream and shout and demand that they bring her back. It was that day that I vowed I would have Isabella Swan. I knew she was scared of me and I could use this for my advantage.
She carried on into the house and I sat outside in my car, just out of sight so that no one would become suspicious. I watched her old bedroom window as she moved around inside, sorting out her room and then she disappeared from the window a few minutes after Rosalie and Jasper had entered. I was interrupted by my cell phone ringing.
"Hello?" I said roughly into the receiver
"That's not a very nice way to answer your phone Edward" Alice scolded.
"Sorry Alice. Hello my darling little Sister. What can I do for you?" I replied sarcastically, raising my eyebrow even though she couldn't see.
"I'll get you for that. Anyway, I was wondering if you knew if Bella's flight had landed yet?" How ironic.
"Yes Alice…I er just spoke to Emmett and they just got home but he said Bella was tired and was going to bed so you'll have to wait till tomorrow to see her" I lied. I didn't want her to recognize my car. I knew that Rosalie and Jasper could only recognise it by looking closely.
"Oh damn…I know that there planning on giving her the car tomorrow as well. Maybe I can catch her after that…I need to give her my number…maybe I should call Emmett? Something struck me in Alice's words. The car that Emmett and I had been working on for ages…it was planned for Bella? Oh hell she was going to look sexy in that…all the more reason for her to know that she belongs to me. I couldn't wait to…no stop. I had to make sure that she was still mine. I couldn't have used goods. She was so…pure when she left or more like ran away. I knew that she was still that scared, little girl that needed me to protect her. The vulnerable girl who would cry in the park until I found her and forced her to tell me who had hurt her…she was going to have to learn.
"I'm going to ring Emmett later, see if he needs any help at the garage tomorrow" I said. "I can get him to text you her number or you could wait till Monday" I offered.
"Sure sure. Oh before I forget, Mom asked if you're coming to dinner this tomorrow. I know you live above the garage but you know you can't resist Mom's cooking Oh maybe we could invite everyone like Jasper, Rose, Charlie, Bella and Emmett. I'm sure Mom and Dad would love to catch up with her!." She nearly yelled down the phone. It was true, there was an apartment above the garage and I was living in it until I could find a better place. It was perfect…Bella was going to come to the garage tomorrow and I could steal her away…not that she'd have a choice.
"Alice. That sounds amazing. Get planning and I'll see you tomorrow" I said, hanging up the phone. I watched the house for hours until I saw Bella's light switch on and her moving about in her room again and she eventually crawled under her covers, turning out the light and stared out the window. I was so tempted to make myself known to her. I saw her staring at the sky and the stars until she glanced down at my car and I stared right back at her. I didn't know if she had realised if it was me or not but she soon shut her blind and I silently drove off back to my apartment. I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
As soon as I got back to the house, I decided to ring Emmett.
"Sup Em, you okay?" I asked as he answered.
"I'm good Edward; to what pleasure do I owe this phone call at a ridiculous hour?" He asked. Ridiculous hour? I checked the clock…shit it was 12.30am.
"Whoops, sorry Em. I was calling because my Mom invited you, Charlie, Bella and Rosalie over for dinner tomorrow night. Of course Jasper will be there too but Alice is inviting him" I added, thinking that Rose might think her little brother was being left out.
"Really? Cool. Yeah we only had Pizza tonight, we couldn't be bothered to cook" he joked. "We'll be there. I'll catch up with you tomorrow mate" he said then hanging up. I could hear the TV in the background with a game on or something and I laughed at his priorities.
Bella POV
I woke late into Sunday morning and I rolled over and stretched in my bed. I felt very rested and very awake. I really didn't want to get out of the heat that I created during the night. I pulled open my blind and was looking forward to seeing the bright sunshine erupt into my room. Instead I was welcomed with grey clouds and a light drizzle hitting my window. I fell back against my pillows, trying to gain the energy to move from the confines of my bed. I was one of those people who could actually stay in bed all day sleeping and then still sleep the rest of the next night. Renee used to eventually come a drag me out of bed – literally. She would grab either an arm or a leg…whatever she could reach and pull until I fell on the floor laughing. God I missed my Mom.
I eventually dragged myself off to the shower and then to my wardrobe. I glanced out of the window, seeing that it had decided to stop raining now. The weather usually determined what mood I was in and what clothes I would wear. I pulled on a loose pair of jeans, grabbed yesterday's t-shirt off the floor…it would do for another day and dug my combat boots from the floor. I had no idea how they had got buried already. I grabbed Tyler's jumper off my chair and pulled it on. Brushing my hair and leaving it down, I placed a small amount of make up on my face.
"Morning Dad" I said as I walked into the kitchen, placing some bread into the toaster.
"Actually its afternoon Bella" my Dad smirked. Had I really slept that long? Wow I must have been more tired than I thought. "Oh by the way, we're going over to the Cullen's this evening for dinner. Apparently Esme and Carlisle have missed their second daughter" I smiled, remembering the times I used to spend over at the Cullen house but then I remembered the Edward was a Cullen. That meant Edward would be there. Its fine…I thought I have all day to get ready for it.
"Yeah sure. What time we gonna head over there?" I asked.
"Well I'm heading over there straight from work and I think Emmett is going over to Rosalie's so he's probably taking Jasper there too…so you'll have to make your own way over there. You remember the route right?" He asked. I nodded, like I could ever forget the hidden entrance to their house.
"Oh right, I'm gonna phone Alice…get an idea of what to wear" I said, grabbing my slice of toast and putting more bread into the toaster. "Can I have her number?" I asked Charlie which he gave me her home number because obviously he didn't have her cell.
"Cullen Residence, Esme speaking" I heard the familiar voice answer. I felt a tug in my chest, God I had missed this voice.
"Esme…It's Bella" I said, pausing when I heard the squeal on the other end…Now I know where Alice got it from.
"Oh My Gosh! Bella, how are you?" She rushed out.
"I'm good thank you. What about yourself and Carlisle?" I asked right back, it was only polite.
"I'm very well thank you and Carlisle is well. Are you ringing about tonight?" God, she always got straight to the point which used to make me laugh because of the things she'd come out with.
"Yes, I was wondering if I could talk to Alice?" I asked, after hearing her shout around the house for Alice she came to the phone.
"Bella! Gosh I can't believe your back!" She squealed just as Esme did.
"Yeah I know, it's weird being back…Listen and please don't squeal again but I to know what to wear tonight" I braced myself for the shriek that I knew was coming. After saying goodbye to Alice, I had a good idea of what to wear tonight…I was going to make Edward wish he never treated me like that.
"You wanna head over to the garage?" he asked. I nodded and grabbed my toast and walked out after my Dad to the cruiser.
"So you gonna tell me what type of car you got me?" I asked as we drove off.
"You're going to have to wait and find out" He said back. "So who's Tyler" He asked, eyeing my jumper.
"He's just a friend Dad. Don't worry, you don't have to get all over-protective" I laughed and he just smirked.
He dropped me outside the garage and I turned around, looking straight at the garage sign. It said 'Swallen Motors'. I laughed at the way Emmett and Edward had combined their surnames. I shook my head and carried on towards the open door. I half hoped that Edward had had terrible teenage years and come out of it…not very attractive.
"Emmett" I called over the loudness of the radio. I looked around but I couldn't see anyone. The bonnet of the Mustang that was a 'special priority' was up so my view was restricted. I walked around the side of the car but my eyes didn't meet the person I expected too. They landed on the shirtless form of a very grown up Edward. Oh shit.
"Well well well. If it isn't little Isabella Swan" Edward said, standing up to his full height of at least 6ft 4. He seemed like a giant to my 5ft 4 frame. He crossed his arms over his chest, exposing his thick, muscled arms. I moved my eyes over him, taking in every single grease mark that was smeared across his exposed body. The way the sweat glistened on his head and chest. The way that the jeans he was wearing hung low on his hips, exposing a very defined 'V'. God…I swear just staring at him made me a little wet. What the hell? I knew I loved Edward…but I thought that it was just because he was my best friend…now he was making me wet? Could things change between us? Maybe he had changed?
"Edward…Nice to see you again after so long" I said, really unsure of what to say. Standing at his full height, he started walking towards me and then glared down and me. Wow…okay so maybe he hadn't forgotten about me running away from him and leaving. I folded my arms and stood to my full height…even though it wasn't much and glared right back at him. I was not that weak child anymore.
"We need to talk Bella" he said sternly. Pft…yeah right. You may be shit hot but I'm not that stupid
"We need to do nothing Edward. I don't have to listen to you anymore" I said right back in his face.
"Yo Bella! In the office baby girl" Emmett shouted from a half closed door to the left. I stepped round Edward and started walking before he grabbed my arm. I turned around and faced him. His face grew red when he looked at the back of the jumper…Shit I forgot it said Tyler on it
"Don't walk away from me Bella" So many memories came flooding back to me. "Who's Tyler? I swear Bella…if you've– " That was exactly where I stopped him.
"Take your hand off me" I ripped my arm from his grip. It may have hurt, but seeing the shocked expression on his face was worth it. "And Tyler is none of your business" I said and stepped into the office. Hell, his face was something to die for. Just seeing his face twisted with rage was pleasure. Tyler was none of his business and he didn't need to know that Tyler was just a friend. Hell, I was enjoying making him mad…I felt powerful.
"Hey Em" I said, plopping down on the sofa that was in the office. "Why is Edward here?" I asked.
"Afternoon Bells and he lives above the garage so he sometimes does over time. He says it helps him relax but I swear he's just in love with that Mustang." I laughed.
"Yeah, that Mustang looks pretty sweet. Is it a Cobra?" I asked and laughed my head off when Emmett's jaw literally was hung to the floor. "Oh shut your mouth Emmett. Do you seriously think how many times you visited me and talk about cars and I didn't learn anything?" I said, reigning in my laughter. "But seriously, that Mustang is sweet. Black and white? Very original. The owner must have taste" I laughed
"Yeah yeah" Emmet said, standing up. "C'mon Bella, lemme show you your new car" He said. He covered my eyes with his hands and led me out to the main workshop. "Oh and the new owner of the Mustang is pretty sweet too and trust, they do have taste" he said.
"Emmett I swear if you trip me up. Rosalie will have to adopt if she ever wants children with you" I threatened.
"Jeez Bells. Phoenix really made you tough…" Emmett laughed. I heard a bonnet slap shut and I figured that Edward must have heard. I smirked at the thought of a very hot tempered, grease covered Edward.
"Ready Bella?" I heard him ask. I nodded my head, desperate to be able to see where I was walking again. I may be tough, but I'm still able to trip over my own feet. He pulled his hands away from my face and I opened my eyes and stood looking at the Mustang.
"Emmett…this is the Mustang…" I said slowly. I turned my head to look at Emmett and Edward looking at me with their arms crossed.
"I know it is Bella and trust me when I say the new owner has taste" He threw the keys at me and I then repeated Emmett actions and had my jaw hanging on the floor.
"Bella…drag your jaw off the floor please" Emmett smirked.
"Em I don't know what to say…" Instead I expressed my emotions the only way I could. I ran full force towards him and jump onto him, throwing my arms around his neck. Emmett stumbled backwards but wrapped his arms around me.
"Bells, you being back is enough….Just don't go anywhere soon" he said as I landed back on the floor.
"I'm taking it for a test drive" I squealed and I ran around to the driver's side and slid in. Turning the key in the ignition and hearing the engine roar to life…God that was a sexy sound. Emmett walked over he crouched down in the open doorway and started showing me all the modifications he had added.
"You got your iPod on you?" He asked. I shifted and pulled my iPod out my back pocket and held it out to him. "Good…Ah you got the new Nano? Cool" He plugged a cable into the bottom of it and pushed play on a random playlist of all my 719 songs. God I could drive forever listening to this iPod. "Listen to this sound system baby Bell" he said, turning the volume up but it wasn't even at full level and it was hurting my ears. He left me too inspect my new car and I soon felt eyes watching me.
I glanced towards Emmett, seeing that he was busying himself with some paperwork in the office. I looked to where Edward had been standing and saw that he was gone. Instead, I noticed him walking around to the driver's side of my new car. I pulled on the seat belt and rolled down the window.
"Can I help you Eddie?" I asked smugly. He pulled his lips into a fine line, trying to hold his temper. He leaned down, resting his arms on the frame of the door, his head only inches from mine.
"Don't call me Eddie Isabella." He spat. "Emmett's right…Phoenix has put some fight in you but that makes the chase even more fun" He said in a sultry voice. God…why did that make me want him to take me to his bed and ravish me?
His hand came forward and gently stroked its way down my cheek. I flinched at his touch... His hand then moved behind my head to the back of my neck. He moved closer and closer to my, his eyes locked in mine and then scanning over my body. For some reason, I liked the fact that he was analysing me with his eyes
"I missed you Isabella" He whispered. He leant the last little bit and our lips connected. I felt the little spark of electricity that I had missed for 11 long years. The moment was over before it had begun as his lips left my own. I was angry. He dare he kiss me? I had barely spoken to him and here he was, trying to get his tongue down my throat. Well maybe not down my throat…yet but he didn't have permission to kiss me. I loved the song that came next on my playlist. It was 'Do It Like Dude' by Jessie J. I smirked and turned my head to Edward. It was just the right song for my mood right now.
Stomp, Stomp. I've arrived
Drop the beat, nasty face
Why ya lookin' at me?
"Don't call me Isabella" I spat at him. I threw the car into reverse and I could hear the squeal of the tyres on the concrete as they raced to keep up with the speed. I spun the car around as soon as I was out of the garage. I looked back over to the entrance and I put it into drive and I saw Edward standing there, leaning against the entrance, rearranging his pants. I smirked, knowing what I had done to Edward.
I put my floor to the floor and hearing the roar of the engine, I took off along the street heading into town. What I noticed was that I only said 'Don't call me Isabella'. I didn't ask why he had kissed me or why he had missed me. I mean…he can't have missed me for 11 years? No, he probably just missed the control he had over me.
Edward POV
"Don't call me Isabella" she spat at me. God she was sexy when she was trying to take control. I stepped back from the car as it flew backwards, as soon as the car was free from the garage; I walked to the entrance, watching as she skidded round the corner. I could still hear her music as she sped off down the road. Damn my girl was sexy. Wait? My girl? She wasn't my girl yet…I needed to make sure that she was…pure and that she could cope with control.
"Yo Em!" I called. "How come you didn't mention that the car was for her?" I asked, walking into the office, pulling my t-shirt on.
"Well I knew you'd shit a brick if you realised Bella was driving that" I scoffed at him…what did he know anyway.
"Yeah I know you've got the hots for my little Sister and I'm warning you now. You hurt her and you will seriously regret it. I don't care what you do but if she comes home crying and saying your name. You will seriously regret it." He said, standing up to his full height and I stood up straight right back.
"I don't plan on hurting her and trust me, if I ever hurt her…I'll kill myself first" I admitted. "Why are we even having this conversation? I'm not even dating her!" I said.
"Yeah well I know you've been pining over her for the last 11 years. I swear you're like the only 19 year old virgin I know" he smirked.
"Oh shut up Emmett. Just because I didn't jump into every single girls pants that threw themselves at me" I shot straight back at him. I swear if Bella had been laid already…I was going to get very drunk and just loose my shit to anyone. I was seriously considering who this 'Tyler' was…who was he to take a claim on my girl? She had always been my girl and always would be.
Enjoy?
