Hey sorry it has taken so long for me to update but I've been kind of busy with exams and starting a new job but I'll try to keep up again and update as soon as possible! :)
He looked into my eyes and opened his mouth to say something when someone came through the door. We froze in our position.
"Edward?" a light female voice yelled from the hallway. Edward all but dumped me on the floor and I huffed as I got myself up. He moved to the opposite end of the sofa when I tried to sit down next to him. I frowned but he was focused on the door. I looked towards the hallway and a small lithe girl walked into the living room. She had shockingly black hair that was cut short and spiky. She wore some blue jeans and a flowing top that made her look stunning. She stopped when she saw me.
"Oh, I didn't know you had company," she threw out her hand, "I'm Alice." I shook her hand.
"Bella," I said.
"Ooh that's pretty, just like you!" I blushed at her bluntness and Edward stood up.
"Alice, what are you doing here?" he said in an exasperated tone.
"I just thought that I would drop by and see my big brother but I see that you're busy," she winked at me which made my blush deepen. She walked out and Edward followed her. I could hear them speaking in hushed tones and then the door shut. Edward walked in at leaned against the door frame.
"So," I said to him.
"So," he said back. We just looked awkwardly at each other.
"Maybe I should go." I got up and headed for the door. Edward caught onto my upper arm.
"No wait. Look I know that tonight has not been perfect but I don't think either of us knew what we were really doing, this is all just so messed up," he pinched the bridge of his nose as he deliberated what to do, "let's just leave it for tonight I guess." He sighed and moved to the side so that I could go get my things together. He walked into the doorway with me and leaned over to open the door.
"Goodnight." He said to me, his velvet voice was like a caress.
"Goodnight, Edward." I nodded at him. His leaned slightly forward and I leaned my face towards him. He kissed me lightly on the lips and pulled away before I could deepen it. I turned and walked out the front door. I breathed in the clean fresh air to clear my head.
I was so confused right now. What was he about to say to me before- Alice was it?- walked in? I know that he had to feel something, I know I did. But then again, why did I feel like those over a guy that I had literally just met? Sure we had spent the night together but there was something else there that I could not put my finger on. I mentally shrugged my shoulders. I carried on walking the beaten path home when I heard a car come up behind me. I walked a little slower and the car slowed as it followed me. I started freaking out and walked faster but the car pulled up beside me. It was a silver car, like my truck but nicer. The driver's window rolled down.
"Is that you Bella Swan?" I deep voice came through the dark and I squinted to make out the face. I smiled in relief when I recognised the face.
"Billy Black! How are you?" he pulled his car to the side of the road and I leaned over to talk to him through the window.
"I'm well thanks, how's your old man?" his eyes crinkled at the corner as he smiled.
"He's good thanks, I'm surprised you aren't watching the game tonight." Some guys at school talked about it in passing today. Now I think about it Charlie was probably watching it too.
"Actually we were heading home now to go watch it. Say would you care to join us? You can invite Charlie too, I haven't seen him in a while; it'd be nice to catch up." I nodded my head.
"Sure thing. I'm on my way home now, so we'll drop round in around ten minutes." I leaned away from him. We said goodbye and I hurried home quicker. Maybe tonight could be salvaged.
I got home and I looked at the clock. Surprisingly, I had been gone for almost an hour, it had seemed shorter than that.
"Dad?" I called out.
"In here Bella." I heard his voice from the living room. He was sat in his arm chair, watching the pre- game warm up.
"Guess who I just ran into?"
"Who?" Charlie looked up at me.
"Billy Black. He's just invited us to go and watch the game with him." Charlie looked surprised. He scratched the back of his head in thought.
"I don't know Bells, we haven't seen each other in a while, it could be awkward," he wouldn't elaborate on why they hadn't talked. I ignored him.
"Well what better than to start over again by having some manly bonding in front of the game?" I laughed and Charlie chuckled.
"Well when you put it like that," he turned the TV off and went to put his shoes on. I went and waited by the cruiser knowing that he would want to drive. Then we were on our way to the reservation. I looked out of the window and I could see the moon glinting off of the ocean and I relished at the sight. We pulled into a driveway and Charlie stepped out of the car. I couldn't remember this house that much but I can remember laughing a lot when I was here. We walked to the front door but it opened before we could knock. I couldn't see behind Charlie to who was at the front door. What I could tell was that it was a young guy probably around my age.
"My you boys grow up fast around here!" Charlie shook the guys hand and stepped inside as they both laughed.
"And look at you Bella Swan!" I was engulfed in a huge bear hug and I my breath was caught. I was spun around on the spot. I couldn't help but laugh with this guy. He finally put me down. I looked up, and up, and I could finally see his face.
"Jacob, is that you?" I gasped. I hadn't seen him in years, and let me tell you, those years had done him well. He was well built, but lean. He was so tall, and good looking, I couldn't believe it.
"Come on in," he boomed, and I stepped through to the hallway. The house was small but cosy and I could feel something at the back of my mind that recognised this place. This should be interesting. I thought to myself.
I hope that you enjoyed this! Again I'm so sorry about not doing any updates in nearly a month, but this are less busy now so I should be back on track!
Reviews are always really welcome! :D
