Chapter 6
EPOV
So if someone was to tell me last week that I would be leaving Bella Swans house with the goofiest smile on my face, I would break their fucking face.
Yet here I am, standing in my room strait out the shower with a towel around my waist, staring at my phone. I want to text her. I can't seem to do anything else because I want to text her so badly. So I do.
Edward: Where are those videos you promised to send me?
Bella: Someone once said 'promises are meant to be broken'
I laugh, she's brave.
Edward: I guess I won't be needing your number then.
Bella: [download] file attachment.
I just can't get over this girl. Because really, she's hilarious. Bella just sent me a video. I take a while to reply because I watch it while I get dressed and ready for bed. It's not even funny. I should tell her.
Edward: Yawn
Bella: Okay, good night Edward.
Edward: Those videos made me sleepy, I didn't say I'm going to sleep though.
Bella: Haha very funny! I am busy though. Bye
Edward: Busy with what?
Why can't I be inquisitive?
Bella: Going out.
For some reason I feel upset. I don't want her to go out because that means she will not speak to me.
Edward: Where?
I wait, and wait, and wait. She doesn't reply. Fuck her. I flip my phone on my bed and walk to my computer.
My dad walks into the room and goes on and on about me not performing as well as I should.
"You need to be at your best Edward, the scouts only come around once", Carlisle says.
I want to tell him that he should have taken his own advice when his time came around and went, but I won't.
Carlisle thinks that everything he says, has to get done. Unbelievable.
"Yeah dad I know, I am trying. Four days of training is a lot of work you know".
"I know, so don't fuck up it up son", says the doctor himself. Did I mention my father is a doctor and that my mother is addicted to the county club? Yeah, I guess I didn't.
Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Treehavens power couple. If only the town new how fucked up my parents really are. I'm pretty sure my mom has some high school crush on her tennis instructor and my dad is fucking the nurse at the hospital.
I don't think about that too much though.
Ever since my mom had a miscarriage five years ago, their marriage just kinda deteriorated. Dad got promoted to chief at the hospital and mom opened up her own art studio. She buys and sells the work of other people, which means she travels a lot. Let me not get started about the amount of wine she drinks.
I love them, I have no choice.
I might complain but I will never forget all the things that my parents do for me. Maybe it's for my own good. I want something, I get it. Although, Carlisle makes me work for the things I want.
"You gotta fucking appreciate the things we do for Edward, I never had that when I was your age",
"Pull up your socks son, it's for your own good",
And here is my all time favourite line from Carlisle,
"Edward, you gotta get the best to be the best", Carlisle would always say.
It's exactly a week since I spoke to Bella. I decide that after my training I'll go and see if she's at work. Tanya sent me a text, wanting to come over. I told her tonight is fine, my parents are going to a work dinner and I'm in need of some action.
I felt on edge all week because Bella just left our conversation hanging like that. I refuse to run after her. I don't a fuck run after girls, especially slumbers.
I don't need her.
But I will go to Harry's for a burger, not because I want to see her. Keep telling yourself that Cullen.
Coach was hard on us this morning. Sometimes he forgets that I am the youngest on the team. This training camp is intended for college graduates, not fucking hormonal high school guys who are unsure about their dreams.
No one will understand, I need someone to understand.
I walk into the diner and I spot Rene from across the room, waiting a table. I look around but Bella is nowhere in sight. I guess she's off today. I make my way out the diner when I hear her call out, "Hey, Cullen wait up". Since when did we get to last name basis?
I guess with Bella, everything is back to front.
"You here?", I say it in a way that was meant to be a statement, struggling to hide the relief that I feel. This feeling I'm beginning to experience when I'm around her is making me fucking angry.
I wish I could repress what Bella is beginning to do to me. She already made me lose control once, and I didn't even know her then. I still don't know her.
I want to.
"Yeah, I was just cashing up, how have you been", she looks tired but I can't tell how she really feels. I think for a second when last someone actually asked me how I am, I can't remember.
"Good I guess. How about you? Where are you headed to?, I ask.
"Good thank you. I'm working an opening shift this week so I get to leave once the breakfast rush is over", she says this all in one breath, failing to mention if her mother gets to leave as well.
"So you heading home then?", I ask because I want to give her a ride home without seeming too obvious, without seeming desperate.
"I am yes. I was just going to walk to the bus stop", she's smiles. She knows what I'm thinking but none of us will dare to ask the other.
"Okay, I guess I'll pass you by because I was kinda heading to the Slumbs", I say this without realising that I might have offended her. The Slumbers don't appreciate hearing that they are from the Slumbs.
"I guess I'll walk by you then", she didn't take offence. Good.
We both make our way out of the diner, Bella waves goodbye at her co-workers. They greet her in adoration. She must mean something to them too. Too.
We part ways and fuck me but I hate seeing her walking away. Before I call out for her I look around to make sure that no one can see me approaching her. People in this town talk shit about everyone.
Golden boy cannot be seeing hanging out with a poor waitress from the slumbs.
"Hey Bella?", I kinda walk, but run after her… "catch a ride with me? Please?", fuck, I'm pleading her. Where's your dick at Cullen.
"Okay", she smiles again. She knows what she's doing to me and she loves it. She walks to my truck and we both climb in.
This time I let Bella choose the music. She looks through my phone and plugs the cable in.
"Is this the new iPhone", she asks amused.
"Yeah, why?", I ask as I pick up speed.
"I love it", that's all she says. I think Bella has an old Blackberry. Her phone cover has rainbow rabbit ears. I know this because it's peeking out of her pocket.
As I pull up in front of her house, we have the same gas payment debate. I enjoy teasing this girl.
I tell Bella that she owes me 70 bucks. She invites me in for a drink. Water on the rocks.
We play on her old shitty gamer system. She sucks, so I let her win. I don't hear the end of her given victory. It makes her happy.
We talk about everything but nothing at all. Bella doesn't budge about my family life, or the fact that I am involved in summer trials. I tell her I have a hectic training session and she dares me to do 100 push ups. I do as much as I can until she begs me to stop while laughing for no apparent reason.
I'm hungry as fuck and even though I hate to cut my visit with her short, my empty stomach is ruling all instincts. Bella tells me she will be right back. I ask her where the rest room is and she points towards the staircase.
I make my way up the staircase and walk past what looks like her mother's room. There are three doors, I take it the bathroom is in between. I'm right.
There's makeup and girly shit placed all around. Everything is pink and it's giving me a fucking head spin. I spot tiny white converse behind the door and I smile because it is so so Bella. Simple, but liked by all.
I wash my hands and make my way out and decide to take a peek behind the third door. It is defiantly Bella's room. I wouldn't have pictured it any other way. There is a yellow bookshelf filled with books. A single bed with colourful sheets with stars all over. Her floors are wooden and she has a massive green floor lamp. What grabs my attention is all the pictures on her hall, above her desk. I don't go into her room far enough to make out who is on those pictures but I smile again, because it's all so Bella. The freak. My chest hurts just thinking that.
"There you are", Bella smiles as she gestures for me towards the tiny kitchen. When I walk inside, I want to… I don't know what I want to do. Bella has prepared four sandwiches with meatloaf and lettuce. As I walk towards the kitchen counter, I notice she has put avocado on it too. She remembered.
Beat, my heart beats.
I won't elaborate on what I am feeling right now.
I eat in silence and offer her a bite. Surprisingly she takes a bite. I ask her if she's hungry and she says no, she doesn't want to ruin her appetite. Appetite for what? I don't ask.
Again as I'm leaving, Bella promises this time to not tell anyone about my visit. I nod thanking her.
I want to kiss.
I don't.
Not today.
I love reviews...do you?
