I managed to gulp before he emerged from the corner. "Bells! Where the hell have you been!" He scolded, at least he didn't scream at me.. yet.
His eyes immediately traveled to our hands, and slowly trailed back up to me. "Charlie, this is Edward.. Edward Masen." She squeezed my lifeless hand, I was scared shitless. He still had his gun strapped on.
"I know who you are." He said directly to me. "Now get out." His voice was hard, he meant it.
"Dad!" Bella sounded shocked, I wasn't, I was kinda waitin' for it.
"Well.. I guess I'm gonna' go, I gotta get home anyways." I shrugged. I wasn't about to get my ass shot, unlike me, he probably could get away with it.
"No, please don't go.." Bella clung onto me after Charlie stormed off the kitchen.
"I have to Bella.." I tried to gently tug my hand away from hers, but she wasn't havin' it.
"Babe.. let go." I sighed, and she pouted while doing go.
I walked out the door, and she was trailing behind me.
"Go back inside, Charlie'll get pissed." I shoved my hands in my pockets, turning to face her.
I didn't want to show her that I was a bit upset, it hurt that Charlie didn't like me.. especially since I loved his daughter.
"No, you don't and you know it!" She croaked.
"Bella-" Her lips crashed against mine, and I peeked my eye open.. just to make sure I wasn't a target.
"Stay.." She pleaded against my lips.
"How? Charlie?" I was slowly givin' in.. I didn't want to go home and sulk. I wanted to be around her 24/7.. the last thing I wanted to do was leave.
"My window will be open.." She winked. Bella's arms tightened around my neck. Stay the night? Was she serious? I hope so.
No! Stop it! I scolded in my thoughts. I really didn't want to take advantage of her, I'd end up hurting her.
"What about my bike?" I whispered, my voice would've cracked. It was my only alibi.
When was Swan so damn bold?
I defiantly corrupted her, already.
"No shit." She kissed my cheek, quoting me again.
Yeah, I defiantly corrupted her. I sighed heavily.
"Hide it." She looked up at me so innocently, how the fuck could I resist?!
"Fine." I muttered. "You crazy woman." I shook my head gushing.
"Crazy for you." She pecked my lips once more, before attempting to pull away.
"I ain't done with you yet." My arms around her waist tightened as I picked her up to kiss her once again.
"Mmm" She moaned, as I pulled away.
I placed a gentle row of kisses down her neck, and she giggled.. I guess she was tickelish or somethin'.
"Okay, okay, I got to go now.." She breathed, her lips swollen.
"Aw." I teased.
"Promise you'll come back." She pulled back to look me in the eye.
"Scout's honor." I smirked, crossing my fingers in the air.
She gave me one last peck against the lips before she squirmed away from me. I gave her a love tap and she yelped before she ran up her steps.
I jogged over to my bike, and quickly pulled my helmet, screw the gloves.
I got home quicker than I imagined, probably because I was going way too fast, I couldn't tell.
"Edward?" My father called out.
I stiffened, and walked in on him reading the paper in the living room.
Great, another interview.
"Hey dad.."
His head snapped up, that was something new. He smiled at me quick enough though.
"Where you been? Its a quarter to ten already.." Carlisle looked at his watch. Shit..
"I was with Bella."
"Oh, she's something isn't she then? Hm?" He folded the paper and tossed it on the coffee table.
"Yeah.." I rubbed the back of my neck, this was freakin' awkward.
"Well.. who is she?" He adjusted his reading glasses.
I sighed, I had to tell him sooner or later.. even though at the moment later was better.
"Bella Swan.."
"Chief's daughter, smart choice." He chuckled. "Don't break her."
"I don't intend to, she brings out the best in me."
His face softened then as he took my words in.. I could tell he didn't expect that, and neither did I.. it just slipped out so freely.. carelessly.
"Well.. your mothers in bed already, I waited for you to get in so.. night son." He got up and tapped my back.
"Night, I called after him."
I quickly showered, and brushed my teeth like three times. It didn't occur to me that my breathe could have smelt like an ashtray. Even though Bella didn't complain .. aloud at least doesn't mean it wasn't bad.
I got dressed, I didn't have the patience so I threw on my sweatpants and a wife beater.. I figured it didn't matter.
My hair was a mess, I looked like a werewolf.. but I decided to just fuck it all together.
By then it was already 11, and I'm sure Bella was growing impatient.. but I had to wait for my parents to fall into a deep sleep.
It was midnight when I crept out of my house.
FUCK
I hissed.. how the hell was I supposed to get there?!
My bike was too loud..
And it was raining.
It was a good thing, I had the Volvo on the side..
My parents got it for me for my seventeenth birthday. Even though I insisted that I didn't need it, because I had already bought myself the bike- Esme insisted I needed it, stupid weather, fuckin' Forks.
So I had a Volvo, that sat in the garage.. I only driven it like maybe five times.. when it rained, I didn't go anywhere.. so I barely used it.
But even if I were to take the Volvo.. my parents would notice, and so would Charlie especially if I parked it outside the house.. or down the street or somethin.. He was a cop, he'd run it through his little computer and look my ass up. Fuckin' whiz.
So, for the love of God, I jogged. She didn't live that far.
What was I doing? What made me do this? I lost my mind.
My thoughts were full of guilt, lust.. love, hate.. everything. I felt like a girl lost in hormones.
I didn't just say that.
Anyways, I got to her house, it was pitch black, maybe she fell asleep waiting for me.
I snuck around the back side of the house, and smiled. There was an open window.
I had no thought of getting up there, I just climbed up the vines that grew on the side of the house.
My arms wrapped over the edge of the window, as I pulled my upper body over the windowsill.
She was fast asleep on her bed, mumbling.
I decided to keep quiet, and pulled myself into her room. I never been here before.. but I felt like I have.
Her room was sweet, I liked it. From the posters on her walls, to the pictures of her childhood, with her mother, I assumed.
"Edward?" She called out, I whipped around.
Bella was sleep talkin'.
"Edward.. I love you.." She turned over and clutched a pillow against her, snuggling close.
Fuckin' pillow.
I stood still for a bit, I didn't know what to do.. I just glanced around her room taking it all in, the teddy bears, the scattered cd's.. and he rocking chair.
The rocking chair stood in the opposite corner of the room, adjacent to the side she was facing while asleep.
I softly crept over and took a seat, setting a loud squeak. Stupid antic rocker.
"Shit" I whispered out loud.
"Edward?" My eye's shot up, and she was sitting up in her bed, her hair looked like a haystack, but I liked it.
"Bella?" I whispered. Was she dreaming?
"You came!" She smiled. She threw the covers off her and jumped into my lap.
"Shh! You'll wake Charlie." I chuckled.
"I don't care!- Oh my God, Edward! You actually came!" Bella sounded like a child, even in the darkness, I could see the dimples in her cheeks.
"Of course I did.. I keep my promises." I stroke her back with my hands.
"Can I ask you somethin'?" I kissed the top of her head.
"What's that?" She pulled her head away from my chest and looked up at me. I fought the urge not to shake.
"Remember the day.. when I offered you a ride home?"
"Yeah.. what about it?" She blushed.
"How did you get home?"
"Jess offered me a ride home, she's so nice."
Jess? What the hell?
"What?"
"Yeah- she's nice.." She shrugged, eyeing me.
Two things happened at once.
I cursed under my breathe, as the images in my head scattered all over the place.
And, I got real pissed.
"What's wrong?"
"Jess." I gritted through my teeth, I couldn't look at her. Jess was perfectly capable for the accusation I was making.
Fuckin' bitch, traitor.
"What? What about her?" I sighed heavily, and turned back to face her.
"She told."
"Told?" She wasn't getting it.. she wasn't graspin' what the hell I was tellin' her.
"Jess told Jacob, Bella." I blurted out.
"She wouldn't do that." She scolded.
"To your face." I added.
Bella was quiet for a long moment. I felt bad for her.. I'm sure she assumed Jess was the only friend she had, other than Pixie... and I took that away from her.
But I had to, Jess would've destroyed her.
"Bella?"
"I'm fine.. just surprised I guess.."
I nodded, I didn't know what the hell to say.
"Do you still love her?"
LOVE? WHAT THE FUCK.
"WHAT?" I hissed.
"Do.. you still.. love, her?" She said hesitantly.
"What do you mean love her? I never loved her!" I freaked the fuck out.
EW, Stanley? For sex yeah, but love.. no fuckin' way.
"Never." I shook my head. "Never in my fuckin' life."
"Then why do you.." She trailed off, I knew what she was sayin'.
"I don't know.." I shrugged. "I don't want to anymore though." I sighed.
"Good." She smiled kissing my cheek. "Your mine now."
"No shit." I chuckled.
"I have a question for you now.." She smiled.
"Shoot."
"Do they like me?" She bit her lip, fuckin' adorable.
"Who?"
"Your gang.. the cold ones.." She rolled her eyes saying so.
"Yeah, they do actually."
"Even Emmett?" Her eyes widened.
"Emmett?" I chuckled.
"Yeah.. he's pretty intimidating." She laughed in a whisper.
"Well, he's the one that urged me to stick with you."
"Really?
"Yeah.." I stroke her hair.
"I like them alot too.. especially Rose and Alice.. their so nice.." Her voice was growing soft, and her breathing slowed, I felt it against my chest.
"They like you alot too Bella. Now get some sleep, we got school tomorrow." She groaned, I smiled.
"Mmmm" She said sleepily snuggling into my chest. I pulled the afghan off the back of the rocker and wrapped it around her. "I'm not tired." She said half asleep.
"This wasn't a good idea-.. we have school tomorrow, your gonna be exhausted." I said after the minutes of cuddling, and rocking her.
"S-stay." She was practically asleep.
I fucked myself, how could I leave her now? I mean I couldn't just get up, she'd wake up.. and I couldn't just get up and throw her on the bed and leave, what kind of guy does that?
What kind of guy does this?..
I was waitin' for Charlie to storm in and shoot my ass, but he didn't.
I sighed, and pulled my cell out, and set it to vibrate. I also managed to put the shit on an alarm clock, my ass was out of her at 5am.
The night went by rather.. fast I guess I don't know.
She still talked now and then.. I heard her say my name.. and I wanted to hear it again. I heard shitloads of I love you's, and Edward's. I smiled to my ears when I heard her whisper my name, out of all the things she could dream about, she dreamt of me.
I managed to fall asleep after I stopped stroking her while rocking. That squeak was gettin' on my fuckin' nerves.
My eye's snapped open and I dug into my front pockets, completely dazed.
I yawned, and put my alarm on snooze. I had to leave.. even though I didn't want to.
She must've felt me move because she pulled back to look at me.
"Don't go.." She whimpered, before I could even respond her lips claimed mine.
"Bella.." I said ten minutes later, I was gasping for air.. so much for the 'no kissing in the morning rule' I personally thought her breath was sweet as hell. "I have to go now.."
"Fine.." I smiled. "Your cute when you pout."
I picked her up bridal style, and set her down on the bed, pulling the covers over her. "Sleep, I'll see you soon enough." I kissed her forehead. She was already asleep.
I tucked a huge pillow beside her, and she clutched it, and wrapped her leg around it.
So fuckin' tempting.
"Mmm.. Edward.." Her dreams spoke again.
I couldn't listen, I just couldn't. Not without doing somethin' stupid. I jumped out the window, hanging over the edge, as I managed to close it before climbing down two stories.
It was drizzlin' out a little bit, not alot.. not enough for me to get pissed off.
I jogged home.
When I finally got there, I walked in quietly.
I sighed with relief when I realized I made it safely to my room, and my parents were still asleep.
I still had an hour to kill before school..and I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to..
So instead I jumped in the shower again, brushing my teeth, and spiking my hair wildly.. my look.
For once, I made my bed.. and cleaned around my room. The scattered clothes were gettin' on my nerves, so I threw them all into my laundry basket.
By then it was six, my time to get out of the house. I took a peak out my window, and it was raining.. just my luck.
Before I jogged down the stairs, I decided to give Bella a call.
"Morning beautiful." I hummed into the phone.
She groaned. "Wake up." I chuckled.
"Sure, sure."
"Would you like a ride with me today?" I didn't even think twice.. I just said it.
"Edward.." She paused, I could hear her giggle into the phone. "Yes, I'd like that."
"Really? I didn't figure you would.. since Jake always-"
"No- I want you to." She chuckled.
"Alright, I'll be there soon."
"I love you.." And the line disconnected.
I sighed, whispering "I love you too.." into the empty line.
Okay, so I decided to do the series, I'm gonna call it 'The Cold Series' Suck it up, I'm not that creative. I'm gonna start it off with One Shots though, I'm gettin' kinda tired with these lengthy stories I write.. but I'll eventually get back to them.. Anyways I'm gonna go and get food or something, I could use some Taco Bell. I'm gonna update this again tonight. So keep the reviews coming. You guys are the best! :)
