Remember people this chapters time over laps with the last one – Anne Candy
"Where do you think your going?"
Damn it. Edward took his hand off the handle of the front door. Samantha had found him right before he was going to leave. He turned to her with an annoyed smile.
She had only been here for two full days and already he wanted her gone. No, not just gone. He would go far enough to say that he wanted her dead. She was taking over his life. Not allowing him to leave the house or even the room for that matter without her drawing out a very long goodbye. And he didn't even try to see Bella, unless he could slip out of the house unnoticed. He felt like a teenage boy sneaking out, not wanting his parents to know what he was doing.
Lucky for him, she hadn't really tried to do anything… yet. She kept her hands to herself… mostly. Only the caresses of his face, chest and anywhere else she could touch. But she kept her lips off his, surprisingly. And she hadn't threatened anyone… today.
"Where were you going?"
She stood not too far from him with her arms crossed.
"Where was I going?" He questioned the past tense in her sentence
"Tell me where you are going."
"I was going to see Bella, at work."
"How cute you're going to visit her at work."
Her voice sounded too happy to his ears. She had a smile on her face and she pressed her palms together in enjoyment.
"Tell you what," She says looking up at the ceiling, thinking, and then looking back at him "You stay here and I'll go see Bella."
"What!"
"I am afraid that she and I got off on the wrong foot. I just want to clear the air." Says Samantha
"There is no air to clear." Edward growls
"What are you afraid that I am going to eat her?" She laughs
"Not the best choice of words Samantha."
"Alright so, you stay here. I'm going to see Bella."
She clapped her hands together and pushed past him, to get to the door. Edward reached out grabbing her wrist before she could open the door.
"What are you going to do?" He asks
She placed a hand on his cheek.
"Just some girl talk, relax. Oh and don't leave the house until I come back."
She opened the door and was gone. Edward slammed the door hand. Too hard. It cracked the door and its frame. He growled so loud that it almost shook the house as he crossed the room and sat on the piano bench. He folded over placing his arms on the keys, causing a few notes to play.
"I know your angry, but did you have to take it out on the door."
Edward sat up and looked over his shoulder. Esme was walking over to him with a sweet smile on her face. He took in an unneeded breath, to try to relax himself. It didn't work. Just knowing that Samantha was even thinking about seeing Bella...
"Sorry Esme. I shouldn't have done that."
"Seems like Samantha has put everyone on edge."
She walks over to him and sits next to him on the piano bench, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"She's gone to see Bella, I'm worried." Edward admits
"I know. We all are. When she arrived the first thing we all thought of was Bella. Every one of us was worried about Samantha's reaction to Bella. Honestly she is taking it better then we all thought."
"So far…"
Edward stands and walks toward the stairs. He ran his fingers through his hair before stopping. Thoughts raced in his mind, Alice had seen something. He raced up the stairs and by the time he had gotten to Alice's door, she was standing in it, waiting for him.
"It's nothing bad."
"What is it Alice?"
"Jack is coming… for Samantha." She says
Her voice sounded like she was singing. She was so happy that Samantha was going to be leaving.
"When?"
"Not till next week."
Disappointment came over both of them.
"She'll still be here next week." Edward complains
"As far as I can see, yes."
"Does Jack know that she's here?"
"No, she didn't tell him she was coming to visit us. I don't know how he is going to find out that she is here."
Edward nodded and started walking down the hall toward his room. Alice leaned against her doorway and watched him walk away. She let out a sigh and turned back to her room.
"Worry is coming off him in waves."
Jasper was sitting in the room waiting for her to come back to him. She sat down next to him gracefully and pulled her knees up to her chest.
"What's going on?" He asks
"Samantha is driving him crazy."
"She is driving us all crazy. When ever she's in the same room as Edward, the air is so thick with lust. I have to run out of there and find you before I take it out on the wrong person."
"Well I will always be here for you to pour your lust on."
She smiled and moved closer to him. He wrapped an arm around her and kissed her softly.
"So Jack is coming?" He asks
"What happened to the lust idea?"
"I was just curious."
"Yes, next week."
"Alright then…"
He leaned down to kiss her again. She laughed as she reached up to wrap her arms around his neck.
Samantha didn't return till later that night. About a half hour after Bella was supposed to get off work. She walked up the stairs, one hand sliding on the guard rail. Edward was standing at the top of the stairs. He had heard her thoughts as she walked through the door. She was being careful not to let anything slip. That worried him.
"Edward." She says with delight
"What did you do?"
"Why do you think I did something?"
Edward glared at her. Her thoughts were even more guarded now.
"Stop reading me thoughts, it's rude. In fact never read my thoughts again."
Edward pulled back. He heard nothing from her now. She smiled and walked up the last few steps to stand next to him.
"Well what are you waiting for?"
He looks over at her. Her smile was evil. She had done something; he just didn't know what that something was.
"Go to her." She laughed
And he was gone.
