Chapter 3
"Bella?"
My mother sang in an unusual sing-song voice. Why was she being so nice to me? I groaned and rolled over in bed only to see it was 10 o'clock on this lovely Saturday morning. Did she not understand the sacredness of sleeping in on a weekend? Throwing back my purple bed covers I slowly stood up and made my way to my door, unlocking it and opening it.
"What?" I answered sleepily.
"Can you run to the store for me quickly?"
I groaned and pulled off my pajamas reaching blindly into my dresser and pulling out whatever I found. Jean shorts and a navy blue v-neck. I ran a brush through my hair quickly and made my way downstairs and slipped on my converse and grabbed my truck keys. My mother was in the kitchen humming about, which was weird, she never goes in the kitchen. I peeked in to see her staring at the dishwasher with confusion.
"What am I getting at the store?" I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.
"Milk." She answered without looking at me. "Edward went to get some last night, but said they didn't have any." She finally found the start button and pressed it.
"Right.. So did you ever think about telling me about your secret boyfriend before moving him in here?"
"Not like it's any of your business but we've been dating for eight months and I didn't want to bring him around because I didn't want him to meet you. God knows you would have scared him off with you snippy comments and rotten attitude." Renee said like it was nothing.
I needed to get out of here before I snapped.
Heading to the store was uneventful and buying milk went over smoothly. It was a certain silver Volvo that cut me off near downtown and almost made me crash that pissed me off. What was his problem? I followed him home as well as I could, but my truck could only go so fast and he was a speed demon. I rounded the corner of my street and that mother fucker had took my spot in the driveway so I had to park on the road. Great.
"Hey what's your problem?" I demanded when I entered the house and found him sitting at the kitchen table.
"Pardon me?" He stood up standing in front of me.
"You cut me off!" I could feel the heat rising in my face.
"You obviously don't know how to drive. Typical woman."
"Bastard!"
I couldn't help myself when my hands met his chest and I shoved him backwards. I practically growled and I stormed out of the house and to my truck.
...
"Prick! I fucking hate him! I can't believe him."
I could hear myself getting annoying but I just couldn't stop saying how much I hated him. Jasper watched me pace back and forth and I swear I was putting a hole in through the concrete floor of his basement. He lit another smoke and just rolled his eyes when I told the story over again.
"Bella, calm down." Jasper grabbed my arm and pulled me down onto the couch. "Don't let him get to you, he's obviously just an asshole. Just think.. A few more months and you can go live with your dad just like you want," I smiled. "Or you can move in with me, we can even share a bed." He winked and I slapped his arm laughing.
Jasper and I hung out for awhile after that. I helped him with his homework and he made me watch Austin Powers with him. Which in my opinion was a stupid ass movie, but he seemed to love it. We went for a walk down to a park and he chased pigeons while I tried not to buckle over in laughter. Eventually a bird pooped on him, I think he had it coming to him. We decided to go over to our friend Rosalie's house for a swim. She lived in a huge house and her parents were gone away for the weekend and it was more than likely not just going to be a few close friends.
Jasper was going to pack his stuff and get ready and then come and pick me up. So I went home and the house was dark. I quickly ran in and fished around in my drawer in the dark looking for a bathing suit quickly. I found a pair of black bikini bottoms and as fate would have it I couldn't find the matching top so I grabbed a blue bikini top with the tiny strings. I groaned as I tried to do the pair of strings up at my back but just couldn't get it tight enough to stay without falling off.
Knock, Knock.
"Come in!" I called out.
The door opened and I had my back turned still trying to do up the strings.
"Hey, could you do me up?" I asked. "Sorry about early.." The strings tightened as they were in the process of being tied in a knot. "I was grumpy and was mad about the whole move thing." Knot tied, warm fingers on my spine. "I wish you just would have told me mom.."
I turned around and was not face to face. I was face to chest. I gasped and looked up into his green eyes which were wide like my own. He was wearing a simple grey t-shirt and blue jeans and being this close to him I could smell how great he smelt. Biting my lip and looking up at him I turned around and grabbed my bag trying to distract myself.
"Sorry.. I thought you were my mom. But I guess I should be saying sorry to you anyway."
"Yes you should." He said with no emotion.
I raised my eyebrows expecting my apology from him and he gave me a smirk. He knew I was looking for one and I knew by that look I wasn't gonna get it.
"Where's my apology?" I tried.
"I don't know, where is it?"
Childish. This is what this has seriously resorted to?
"Get out of my room." I growled.
He turned swiftly and slammed the door to my room and I heard his car peal away. Looking out the window I saw he had parked on the road and Jasper had just pulled into my driveway. I smiled and pulled on my shorts and shirt before meeting him at the door.
"Ready to go beautiful?"
"Definitely."
So I've had the worst day ever so far, and work is just awful. I can't wait to go for a swim, it is so hot here! Thank you all for reading! Your reviews are just lovely :)
