Chapter 8
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight
Bella's pov
The rest of my weekend was spent relaxing inside and eating junk food in my living room. Edward told me Addison, Josh and him were visiting family for the entire weekend so there wasn't much excitement outside.
Edward.
My heart starts to beat faster just thinking about him. It feels like weights have been lifted off my shoulders after telling him about Jacob. Now I'm not sure what to do. It's obvious to me now that I do really like Edward. Oh god, I'm feel like I'm in high school with the whole crushing on someone deal, but the problem is I don't know if I'm ready to have feelings for someone and date them I guess. Edward makes me feel like I am, but I just don't know.
I look at the clock and since its Monday its time for me get ready for work at the library. With a groan I roll out of bed and get ready. I decide on some jean capris, mint green sleeveless blouse, and some brown sandals. I quickly throw my hair up in a sock bun then head to the kitchen.
After making a coffee and eating some toast, I grab my phone and tote then head to my hummer. Once I arrive at the public library Mrs. Cooper who is the librarian informs me that we have a few minutes until the library opens so I decide to use this time to make a call to someone who I desperately need advice from.
"Bella!" Angela screams into the phone.
"Angela I miss you! How have you been?" I ask.
"I've been good, what about you?"
"Pretty good, but I need some of your advice."
"Okay, shoot." She says.
"Okay so there's this guy Edward who lives next door to me and he has two kids and he's amazing and so are his kids and he asked me on a date the other day and we went out to dinner. So then after dinner I told him about Jacob an-"
"Wait you told him about Jacob!?" Angela asks shocked.
"Yes, I know shocking. So anyway he listened and comforted me and told me he cares about me and would like to go one another date, Bu-"
"Awe he sounds sweet!" Angela comments, cutting me off once again.
"Yeah he is, but I don't know if I'm ready to be in another relationship. Like I don't want to send him the wrong signals because I really like him and all, but I just don't know if I'm ready. Even though I feel like I am, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing because I just don't want to get hurt again. He's just so different from Jacob, the way he makes me feel, I've never felt this way with Jacob." I explain.
"Wow!" Is all she says then continues.
"Bella I know you and you're a smart person. You always do the right thing and how you're explaining Edward you really like him. He obviously has feeling for you and you can't let Jacob ruin all your chances for happiness in life. I haven't met him but I have a good feeling about Edward and don't let him go. Just take things at your pace and follow your heart." She concludes.
"Thank you so much Angela that helped a lot." I say.
"That's why I'm your best friend and I want to come visit soon!"
"I promise. I have to go, but I love you!" I reply in a rush.
"Love you too, bye Bella!" She says then the line goes dead.
Now I know what to do. The rest of the day at work goes by well. After helping Mrs. Cooper lock up I get in my car and head home. Once I pull into my driveway and open my car door I hear a small voice call my name from somewhere around me.
"Bella!" I hear again, but its closer.
I get out and Addison launches herself at me almost knocking me down.
"Hey you!" I say, while hugging her back.
Then Josh crawls up to me from behind her. Once I set Addison down I pick him up and hug him too, he leaves a sloppy kiss on my cheek. I hear footsteps coming towards me and when I look up I see Edward looking as handsome as ever walking over to me. My breath hitches.
"Hello Bella, how was your day."
"Hey Edward it was good, just came back from the library and got attacked by my two favorite kids." I reply.
He chuckles and his amazing crooked smile makes its appearance on his face.
"Daddy I want to ride my bike." Addison whines tugging on his leg.
"Alright go put your shoes on and can you handle Josh's shoes too?" He asks looking down at her.
"Yes!" She replies quickly and with a struggle she somewhat carries Josh halfway back inside and then lets him crawl the rest of the way.
"I missed you." Edward says softly, looking at me in the eyes.
I blush, "I missed you too."
He smiles brightly then pulls me into a hug. I smile as my nose inhales the smell of his cologne. I hear my phone's text tone go off from my back pocket and I sadly detach myself from Edward to see who texted me. Once I read the text everything feels like it freezes around me.
I miss you, baby and I'm gonna find you soon.
One name swirled around in my head about who this text message could be from.
Jacob.
"Bella! What wrong?" Edward ask concerned, he must have noticed the change in my face expression.
He grabs my phone looking at the message confused and worried, but before I can explain anything blackness consumes me.
