Previously

I ate dinner with Charlie and watched part of the basketball game with him. At nine o'clock I decided it was time to head home.

I went home and got myself ready for bed and prepared myself for the next day. Sadly it would probably be another day without Edward. My heart sank when I thought about this. I had no clue when I would se him again and I wanted to see him again so badly it almost hurt.

I slowly drifted to sleep hoping I would see Edward soon.

Chapter 6

BPOV

I was right. I did not see Edward Monday, nor did I see him Tuesday or Wednesday, but finally it became Thursday and I knew I was going to see him today because I had to pick Charlie up at the station again. He had told me that he could just drive himself but I insisted on picking him up. I would do anything to be able to see Edward again, even for a short period of time.

Thursday seemed to drag on forever as I waited for four o'clock so I could go pick up Charlie.

But finally four o'clock came and I went straight to pick up Charlie. I pulled into the station and paused so that I could fix my hair and make-up. I was not about to look like a slob in front of Edward.

What am I doing? I asked myself in the mirror of my truck.

Wow, I never thought I would be this desperate to get a guy. I never thought I would be using Charlie to get close to a guy. How shallow am I? I Edward did like me I would want him to like me for me, not who I was pretending to be. And if he doesn't like me for me, well it would hurt but then I would eventually understand that he wasn't the one for me.

After I had this revolution in my car, I gave up on my hair and make-up and got out of my truck and marched straight up the front stairs of the station.

Be yourself…

I opened the doors and entered and was greeted by Charlie's friends watching a basketball game.

"Hey Bella! Good to see you again!" Officer Paul greeted me. I walked over to where they were all hovered around a small television.

"Hey, good to see you too! Who's playing?" I asked trying to be polite.

"Cleveland Cavaliers vs. The Miami Heat. It's the most anticipated game of the year!" He said excitedly.

"Oh, who are we rooting for?" I asked. I honestly didn't care but I wouldn't want to cheer for the wrong team accidentally.

"Cav's all the way! Lebron James deserves it!" he said.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"You see, Bella, Lebron James is the best player in the NBA and he played for the Cavaliers. Over the summer his contract with them expired and he became a free agent and could go to any team he wanted that gave him an offer. Every one thought he was going to stay in Cleveland but then, on national television; he stabbed Cleveland in the back by deciding to go to the Miami Heat to form a super team. Now every one in Cleveland hates him." Paul explained.

"Oh I get it." I said and glanced at the game. Cleveland was winning by a lot. Good for them…

"Well I'm going to go get my dad, see ya." I said and they all mumbled little goodbyes not wanting to lose focus on the game in front of them. I turned around and started walking to the back of the station but like last week, when I turned the corner I ran into something again.

Edward caught me before I could fall backwards.

"Oh hey Bella." He said in a cheery voice. "Sorry about that."

I looked up at his gorgeous features and blushed a deep shade of red.

"It's okay." I said stupidly.

"So what are you doing here?" He asked.

"Oh just picking up Charlie again. We go out to dinner ever Thursday."

"Oh that's cool." He said and then there was a moment of silence.

"So how's your truck doing?" He asked.

"It works perfectly, in fact it works a whole lot better than it did before it broke down." I smiled. "You did an amazing job." Just then Charlie came out of his office and walked up to us.

"Edward, I see you've met my daughter Bella." He smiled looking down at me.

"Yes I have." Edward responded smiling at him and then back at me and I blushed.

"Edward is Alice's sister." I informed Charlie.

"Oh really? I thought there was a family resemblance." Charlie said turning to Edward. "I love your sister, she's a very sweet girl."

"Yes, she is." Edward responded.

"Well, we should get goin' Bells. I want to catch the end of the game a the diner." Charlie said looking at me.

"Okay." I said and turned to Edward. "Bye, Edward."

"Bye Bella." Edward said and Charlie said a quick bye and we left.

Charlie waited till we were in my truck until he started to ask me questions.

"So what amazing job did Edward do?" He asked looking at me as I pulled out of the station.

"Huh?" I asked confused as to what he was talking about.

"I heard you say 'you did an amazing job' to Edward before." Charlie said sounding suspicious. Then I realized what he was talking about.

"Oh, well, last Friday night I went over to Alice's apartment to hang out and Edward was staying with Alice so we all had dinner and watched a movie and when I went to leave my car broke down and Edward fixed it and now it works great." I said trying to keep it as simple as I could without reveling too much more of what happened.

"Oh ok." He said letting the topic go. "Thant reminds me, I think you should get a new car. This thing is getting pretty old Bella. It's not safe."

"I know I should get a new car but: 1- I love my truck, and 2- I can't afford a new car right now." I said. I was instantly depressed at the thought of losing my beloved truck.

"Bella, please get a new car soon." Charlie begged, "I worry about you driving all alone in this thing. What if it broke down on the high way or something and you were all alone…" Charlie said trailing off. It touched me to know that he cared about things like that and that he was worried about me.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll be fine." I said trying to reassure him. "I'll try and get a new car soon." I said not liking the thought of giving up my truck.

"Thank you." Charlie said and was quiet the rest of the way to the diner.

Dinner was quiet and Charlie watched the game on the T.V. hanging over the bar. The game had finished and the Cavs had won by a lot. I drove Charlie home and then headed home myself.

Maybe I would see Edward again this weekend… I thought as I drifted into unconsciousness.

OK sorry if you like Lebron, but I don't (anymore). I think he's a jerk. I hope you do too. Hahaha okay not trying to be mean or anything it just really hurt when went to the Heat and I needed to two teams for the game so I pick those two because I thought it would be interesting. But I am definitely not trying to offend anyone! The Heat is awesome, just not Lebron.

I hope you liked it! Please comment! I love hearing from you guys! And please tell other people about this story too and check out my other story Second Life!
