Bella's POV

I'm returning to Forks now, about an hour or two away, still being safe, gonna head to the store and grab a cake.

Great, can't wait to see you! I'm glad you're being safe.

Sighing I turn off my phone and keep driving. I hope there won't be a red carpet, can't stand those things.

Pulling up to the store I try my best to hide in my hoodie when I hear a familiar voice calling my name.

Edward's POV

"Bella, how are you?" I stupidly asked, her parents just died! Why the hell did I ask that?

"I'm fine, thanks for asking, just going to grab a cake" my beloved angel said quite rigidly

"What for might I ask?"

"It would've been Charlie's birthday a few days ago, feel I should sort of celebrate" she said looking solemn, idiot you shouldn't have asked

"Oh, do you need help?"

"I think I'm fine, thank you" she's so polite even when declining me, I can't believe she's so polite"Alright, that's fine, don't know cake much anyway, not being able to eat and all" I nervously said how does she do this to me?

"See you later Edward"

"See you later"

Bella's POV

I cannot believe that just happened, definitely going to tell Angela about that. I still have feelings for him and seeing him so soon didn't help much. Though he's an ex, I feel I should still be polite. Well I have to get a cake, I'll get a cheesecake since that was Charlie's favorite type of cake.

"Good to see you again Bella, truly sorry for your loss"

"Thanks, nice to see you again"

"Let me know if you need help finding anything"

"I will, thank you" I replied, he was obviously flirting and I was reciprocating out of pure boredom

"Do you happen to have any cheesecakes by chance?"

"Yes we do, two I believe, both expire in four days, would you like one?"

"Yes please, thank you" Duh I wouldn't be asking if I didn't want one

No problem, have a nice day!"

"You too sir"

Rushing off to my car I see Edward watching me from his car. Doesn't he know that that isn't normal? That normal humans don't do that, or at least not in such an obvious way

Shrugging my shoulders I get in my truck again and start to drive to Angela's

Edward's POV

She looked at me and shrugged her shoulders, what could that mean Alice?

I don't know, just because she's returning to Forks doesn't mean she's returning to you. You'll have to work to make her want to try again.

OK. I will try my hardest to win her back!
