A/N: here's the next chapter! Hope you enjoy! I have to warn you: don't get used to the frequent updates… school is going to start picking up again because of finals and other testing so… that's it! Happy reading!
"Mommy, that man is waiting outside the door" Seth whispered, gently shaking me. I sat up quickly.
"What man?" I asked, trying to remember where I put my taser.
"I don't know... a man. He says he wants to see you" Seth said, crawling under the covers. I jumped out of bed and opened my nightstand's drawer, pulled out my taser and walked downstairs. I threw the door open and stuck out my arm. There was the telltale buzzing sound that contact had been made and a scream.
I pulled away and looked out.
CRAP!!!
It was Edward.
"Omigod! Edward… wakey wakey… are you ok?" I knelt down and shook him.
"What did you hit me with?" he gasped, sitting up slowly.
"A taser?" it came out like a question.
"Holy crap it hurts!" Edward groaned.
"Sorry, I thought you were a creeper.
"Bella! Oh my God! What did you do?!" I looked up and saw Alice and Jasper running over.
"um… Ikindataseredhim" I mumbled.
"Sorry, didn't catch that" Alice said.
"I tasered him" I looked down.
I looked around to find Edward.
Well, better start looking for a new job.
"Bells? Where's Seth?" Jasper called
I felt my eyes widen and ran upstairs. Seth was still in my bed but asleep. I sighed with relief.
"Miss Bella? Can I play with Seth?" Katlynn asked.
"Sure sweetie, why don't you go to his playroom and what for a bit?" I smiled. She nodded and ran out.
"Seth… Katlynn's here" I said. Seth jumped up and ran to his room. To get dressed I presumed.
"Edward, I'm really sorry! I feel awful" I said.
"It's ok. You were just protecting yourself and Seth" Edward smiled, "Can you watch Katlynn today? I understand if you have to go to the office but can you watch her?"
"Sure. It's the least I can do" I smiled. Jasper and Alice left after a while. They had just come to mooch breakfast off me.
I took Seth and Katlynn to the movies, the park and the library. We had to go to the office to pick up some paper work. They rushed to Rosie who gave them each a spin on her chair. I went to my office and smashed into a lean body.
"Sorry" I looked up to see Edward. I breathed in and smiled.
"it's ok. I should have looked at where I was going" I said. I noticed that he was still holding me. It felt safe, loving. We stood there for a while and looked at each other.
"I should get to work, see you later" Edward said awkwardly. I nodded and slipped quickly into my office. I did not know that Edward could be so intoxicating. I quickly finished my paper work and headed out.
"Mommy, can we go swimming?" Seth asked.
"Sure. Katlynn?" I looked in the rear view mirror and saw her nod excitedly. "Alrighty! Let's go get out suits!"
Seth ran upstairs to grab his while I took Katlynn to her house to grab hers. We changed quickly and drove to the pool.
They hadn't been playing long when I got a call from Edward.
"Bella? Would you and Seth like to join me and Katlynn for dinner? At Carraba's?" Edward asked.
"Sure. We'll meet you there around 6" I said. We said our good byes and I collected the kids.
"Are you coming to dinner with us?" Kate asked.
"Yep, we're going to Carraba's" I said. Kate smiled and turned back to talk to Seth.
Later at Carraba's
"Thanks for inviting us to dinner" I said.
"No problem. Thank you so much for watching Kate today. It was a big help" Edward said. We ordered and talked for a while. When we got home, Edward stayed a bit.
A/N: I'm really sorry! School is getting really hectic and I have a bunch of things to do after! I think that the next chapter is going to be up around Thursday – Saturday.
