AN: Here is Chapter 3 and just remember this is AU.
Chapter 3: I think someone is following us.
After school I decided to get more aquainted with Bella. So around five o'clock I drove over to chief Swan's place. I had met him a couple of times. He was a pretty laid back guy. I drove my car over to her place. It was a nice two story. I sat outside a little to anxious to walk to the door. I could still pick up her scent from even out here. I listened closer and I could hear her talking on the phone. I think it was to Jess again.
I quickly worked up my courage and walked to the front door. As I reached to the step I stopped again. I had never been this nervous before. With another bout of courage I knocked on the door.
Chief Swan was the one to answer and he did not look to happy about it either.
"Yes, what can I do for you?" He said but what he meant was, 'what the hell do you want.'
"Ah, my name is Zeke Johnson and I go to school with Bella. I just was wondering if I could ask her to a movie in Port Angeles. And, ya know, take her around the town and show her the sights. That is if it is ok with you, sir."
I gave a cheesy grin and I saw his face scrunch. It looked like he was deciding between pulling out his gun or going to get his daughter.
I was actually scared, not because of the gun part but because he might say no.
'He doesn't want to kill you Zeke. He is just a little put out because, well, your a giant.'
"Sir, I know I'm big and my seem intimidating but I'm really just a big puppy dog. If you want you could follow us from a safe distance and keep sure I don't over step my bounds."
I could see his features lighten at this.
"But this idea means nothing if I can't ask your daughter. I mean she may say no."
Chief Swan chuckled and nodded, "I will go get her, but if she says yes and I follow. Do i have your promise that you will keep it between us."
"Yes sir, I would never want a father to be worried over his daughter because of me."
The Chief walked further into the house and up to what I assumed was Bella's room. I listened it to their conversation.
'Bells, honey, there is someone here to see you. I think he said his name was...now I can't remember.'
'It's not Mike Newton is it.' I laughed to myself. Apperently I wasn't the only one with my eye on her.
'No, thats not it. Well I will say that his most defining feature is that he wouldn't fit through the doorway. The kid is gigantic.'
'ZEKE!' she screamed. Though I hoped it was more out of surprise than any other negative emotion.
'Yeah, that was his name. Seemed like a good kid. He said something about Port Angeles and a movie. But I will let you talk to him.'
'Oh, yeah...um...I have to change tell him I will be down in 15 mins.'
I chuckled and prepared for Chief Swan to come back down the stairs. As he rounded the corner I heard him say, "You can come in and wait. She said she would be down in 15 minutes."
"Well if its alright to you sir, I will stay outside and wait to be invited in by her. I think since I am waiting on her company, she should be the one to invite me in, sir."
"Whatever son, I'll be in the living room. There is a game on."
"Thank you sir."
So I waited, and 15 minutes of changing outfits finally passed. She walked down the stairs and into view. She was stunning. Her scent filled my nostrils with a smell so sweet it should be illegal.
"Bella, I hope you remember me, I'm..." She interupted me, "Zeke Johnson, yeah I remember you."
A blush crossed her face and I smiled. "Yeah thats me. I was just wondering if I could take you to a movie and dinner tonight. Maybe show you the sights. That is, if your interested. It doesn't have to be a date. You can just think of me as a body guard to keep away all of the guys that will surely come to bother you."
"SURE! I mean...uh ok. I guess I could use a body guard, I do tend to get myself in trouble a lot." Another blush even bigger than the first.
"Ok then are you ready." She nodded and proceeded to follow me to my car. I was on cloud nine. She said yes. We talked about a number of things like her family and her life in Phoenix. She had confessed to me that Forks wasn't here ideal living conditions. She said the constant rain and cold wasn't her cup of tea. I don't think my smile ever left my face. The movie went great. she picked a chick flick but that didn't matter to me. I could barely take my eye off of her. I even noticed that her father left half way through the movie. I think he had seen enough. It was at that point that she started to get cold.
"Damn Forks Washington. It should be illegal to be this cold. Doesn't this place have heating."
"Well of course it does, but they don't turn that on until later in the season. But the armrest goes up and I've been told that I'm hotter than a heated blanket. I could put my arm around you, ya know just to keep you warm." This time I was the one to blush.
"I think I could handle that, I am pretty cold."
'You are so lame bro, I can't believe that worked.' That was Clint.
'Hey this is a private channel until otherwise told. Tell Kush to monitor Edwards thoughts. I thought I saw his car in the rear view mirror.'
The conversation in my head kept me from noticing that Bella had cuddled up to my chest quite nicely. So I brought my arm around her.
"Wow, you are warm. If we keep this up I won't even need a winter jacket." A huge came across my face, even bigger than normal. Then it was as if the words snuck out of her mouth another blush came.
"Well, as long as you keep saying yes, I will keep asking." I tried to stop smiling but I couldn't.
The night went by and the movie came and went. I don't even remember what it was about. I took her out to dinner at Antonio's because it was a place that I knew and they had some great steak, extra rare.
We ate and we talked. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. And she was looking at me just as much.
The bill came but I didn't want the night to be over. So I paid and quickly pulled her out of the restaraunt and took her for a walk. It was getting dark as we just talked. But something changed, the smell of the air wasn't her sweet perfume it was vampire stink. My eyes went black as I figured they were attracted to Bella's scent just like Cullen.
'Clint I got some leeches on my tail. The combination of my scent and Bella's is pulling them all out of the wood work. How fast can you get here with the car to take Bella home.'
'I can be there in 15 minutes and kush will be there faster to get your back.'
'Thanks.'
"Bella, I don't want to freak you out, but there are three guys following us. I should have never kept you out this late but it seems that even though I'm a giant they have locked onto you as a target. Now my brother should be on the way in a bit we just got to keep you safe for a bit ok."
Her eyes went wide and against my better judgement she turned around to look. She saw the guys but in the process slipped and fell to the ground. She scraped her knee and I could smell her blood as it escaped the confines of her skin.
'Oh Shit.'
