Hello again. I would just like to thank everyone who has reviewed and is supporting me with this story. It means a lot. Thanks so much. Enjoy.
I sat next to Emmett as he had both babies in his arms, waiting for Esme to finish with dinner. The door bell rang and I got up, going to answer it. I opened the door and gasped, slamming it shut again.
Texts?
I leaned against the door, trying to keep him out. How does he know where I live? This time, the door bell rang. Esme came out from the kitchen, but stopped short when she saw me.
"Bella, what are you doing?" I could sense the humour in her voice. She stared walking again, towards me.
"James is here." I whisper-yelled. A look of shock crossed her face before she rolled her eyes, reaching for the handle. She had the door open before I could stop her.
"Can I help you?" Esme's sweet voice was confused as she asked him. I crouched further down, hiding behind the door.
"Yes, is Bella in?" His voice sent shivers down my spine, not good one's either.
"Sorry, she's busy with her daughter. Can I pass on a message?" I could hear him huff from the other side.
"Sure. Can you give her this? She left it at the school." Esme nodded and reached out, taking what he offered.
They said their goodbye before Esme shut the door. I got up, dusting myself off before I followed Esme into the kitchen. She placed what he gave her on the side and I walked over to it. I frowned as I picked my phone up. I hadn't realised I had left it. I checked it over, making sure everything was okay. It was.
How did he know where I live? How did he know this is my phone, and not one of the other teachers? Why was he even in my class room? Why wont the leave me alone? I know I'm the youngest teacher at Forks high, being only eighteen, but he's twenty. There are plenty of teachers his age.
I sighed and sat on one of the bar stool in the kitchen, putting the phone back down on the island.
"That was nice of him. To bring back your phone." Esme murmured. I looked at her shocked, she knows how much I dislike him.
"Excuse me?" I managed.
"I was just saying. He could of kept it." She shrugged. I nodded, she's right.
Dinner was ready by the time Edward and Carlisle got home. Esme woke Rose up and we sat at the table as they came in. Edward kissed my chastely before he sat down next to me. Diner was quiet, only talk about work was shared. I didn't speak, trying to think about everything. Edward noticed, but chose not to talk about it.
Rose and Emmett didn't stay for long after dinner, so Esme and I sat in the living room with a glass of red, listened to the television playing in the background. Edward put Emily to bed, then came and joined Esme and I. Carlisle wanted an early night as he starts early every morning.
Edward smiled as he walked in, placing another kiss on my lips. I could feel him smiling as his lips danced with mine. It wasn't a long kiss, but it was filled with love. It's time like this when I realise how loved I am. I snuggled into Edward side as he put an arm over my shoulder, pulling me against him.
I sighed in content as we watched Emmerdale. I could feel my eyes starting to get heavy and my body relax. The glass was removed from my hand as my body was lifted off the settee. I snuggled into Edward arms as he carried me upstairs and into our room.
I sluggishly undressed and climbed into bed, rolling into Edward side as he wrapped himself around my body. I was just drifting off to dream land when my phone vibrated. I groaned, rolled over and grabbed it from the side. My eyes widened as I read the text.
'Sweet dreams, my sweet Bella. X'
The text played on my mind the whole night. My phone didn't recognise the number, but I think I know who it is. When I woke up, I went straight to the shower, trying not to wake Edward up. He's not starting work till later and he needs his sleep.
When I had finished in the shower, I pulled on a black, waist high pencil skirt and a baby blue shirt. I completed the outfit with smoky eyes and a little lips gloss. I left my hair down to dry into it's natural curls. I grabbed my black stilettos to put on once I am ready to leave. I am still clumsy, but Alice has taught me how to walk better.
I walked out of my bedroom, shutting the door silently behind me, before walking into Emily's room. She was still sleeping peacefully in her bed, the wrong way round. I smiled at the sight of her. She is truly growing up so fast. I kissed her head softly before leaving.
When I arrived in the kitchen, Esme was sat at the island reading a paper and drinking coffee. She looked up and smiled as I walked in, going straight for some coffee for myself. I took a huge gulp before turning to Esme again.
"Good morning." I breathed. She smiled.
"Good morning dear. How was your night?" I shrugged.
"It was okay thanks. And yours?" She nodded.
"Mine was good too." We didn't talk anymore as I got myself some breakfast, but it wasn't awkward.
I finished, and grabbed the keys to the Volvo. I climbed in and drove through the roads of Forks. I have lived here all my life, but the greenery of the place still takes my breath away. It's just so beautiful. Some would get bored of living here, but I never could. The beauty is outstanding.
I finally arrived at the school, and parked in my usual space. I grabbed my bag, making sure I have my phone, and got out, heading towards my classroom. When I arrived, I sighed in relief, taking in the fact the cleaners had been here and the room was once again tidy. I just hope it won't get into that state again.
The bell rang and the classroom filled with students, talking and laughing about nothing and everything. A group of girls at the back were giggling, making one of them bright red. I could only just here what they were talking about. Apparently, the red faced girl fancies one of the boys and the girls are talking about him. The amazement of childhood innocence. I called the class to attention and started the lesson.
I counted down mentally for the lunch bell. When it did ring I loud out a sigh of relief and dismissed the class. They all ran out of the room, towards the lunch room. I grabbed my bag and followed after them, going into the canteen and joining the line.
I paid for my lunch and left the lunch room, going back to my classroom. It was empty, for which I as grateful. I picked up my sandwich and started eating, at the same time I grabbed my phone. I had two new texts. One from Edward and one from an unknown number. I read the one from Edward first.
'Hey baby, I hope you are having a good day. Just a quick text to let you know I will be late home tonight. Got a lot on. I love you, always and forever. Edward. X x x x'
I smiled as I read it, then replied. Telling him not to worry and I will look forward to seeing him. When it sent, I looked back to the one from the unknown number. I clicked to read it and held my breath, waiting for it to open.
'Hello, my sweetest Bella. I must say, you look ravishing today. X'
I deleted the text, not bothering to reply. I know who they are from.
I put some music on quietly while I finished my lunch, smiling as the sounds of a piano filled the silent classroom. The sweet melody bounced of the walls, surrounding me in an amazing sense of familiarity. But all too soon, my peace was destroyed.
"What is this crap you are listening to?" James obnoxious voice asked. I groaned. Why is he always annoying me.
"This music, for your information is not crap. It is classical and very soothing." I stood up, placing my rubbish in the bin and walked 'round, collecting the papers littering the desks and floors.
"I'm sorry." He snorted. "You look amazing, by the way. You didn't have to dress up for me." He smirked. I wanted to punch the smirk off of his face.
"Believe me, James. This is not for you." I groaned. How can one man annoy me so much?
He stayed silent, watching me as I walked around the room. I would glance over my shoulder every now and then, making sure his eyes weren't wondering to low for my liking. They were. His smirk was massive and his white teeth stood out against his pale face and his dirty blonde ponytail at the nape of his neck. I wanted to throw something at him, but that would be rude, so I didn't.
I huffed in annoyance and turned to face him.
"Do you mind, I don't know, leaving?" I sighed. He smirked some more.
"I quite like the view here actually." I shook my head.
"Please leave. The children will be here soon and I don't want them to see you here." He shrugged and walked over to me.
He stood just in front of me and I tensed. He noticed. He chuckled and bent down so his lips were level with my ear.
"I'll leave now, but I will be back." He breathed. I visibly cringed at his threat. He laughed loudly as he left. I breathed out and sank down onto one of the chairs.
Why me? I'm not pretty, I'm nothing special. Why must he harass me so much? I have never done anything for him to think I like him. I have never even spoken to him properly, he just started to be an ass to me. I folded my arms and put them on the table, restring my head on them and letting out a sigh.
I just want this day to be over with. I want to go home and see Alice and Jasper. I want to see my baby and cuddle with my husband. I want to drink wine with Esme and gossip like teenagers, but mean nothing mean about it. I want to got to bed and sleep, only to wake up again but James not harass me. I want the impossible.
I wiped my eyes from the tears that had fallen and got up, walking over to my desk. I checked myself in the mirror, making sure all traces of tears had gone. They had. I sat just as the bell went. Putting a smile on my face, I greeted the students as they came in.
Did you like it? Please review and tell me what you think.
Thanks for reading.
