Chapter Ten
To say I'm floored by the attention this story has been getting is an understatement. In all seriousness, you all are so wonderful, I couldn't ask for better readers.
But, uh just incase I didn't make it clear earlier, THESE WILL ALL BE SHORT. I'm not gonna fucking bend that shit for you people. I realize they're short, don't tell me they are, I'm not fucking blind. (#sorrynotsorry)
But honestly, you are all wonderful, I can't thank you enough, except by pumping out the chapters. Does that work?
"Dad we went over this, two days ago I said I can do this by myself. I can-"
Charlie pushed the box he was carrying to the back of the bed of her truck. "I heard you the first time, baby girl, I heard you two days ago but since you're not letting us see your new place this is the least I can do."
Bella was still surprised how well her parents seemed to have accepted that stipulation. She used the excuse of wanting to successfully adjust to having roommates before introducing her parents to this "new chapter" or whatever spiritually accurate phrase Renee said in understanding.
Way to be a bitch. Bella tossed the bag she had in her hands onto her truck and turned to her father. With a lump in her throat she thanked her father and pulled him into a hug.
Her and Charlie weren't normally big on affection, but Bella felt he had developed a sweet spot ever since she came home and Bella wasn't minding it at all. Instead she was taking it all in stride, treasuring every time Charlie decided to hug her.
As Bella pulled the last cord taut her parents approached her with an envelope and open arms.
"Just a little something to get you started." Charlie whispered into her ear.
Bella hugged both her parents, pulling away from them with teary eyes. "At least we know I can come home and be welcomed." Bella said, trying to lighten the mood.
Renee dabbed at her eyes with a tissue, a small smile on her face. "You're always welcome home sweetheart. Always."
"Alright," Charlie's voice was ruff as he spoke. "Enough of this. Bells you should go and get settled. I want the address, home phone number and the names of everyone in that place first thing in the morning. Got it?"
Bella smiled as the chief of police made himself known. "Got it." Opening her door with a heavy heart, Bella slid herself into the drivers seat. She waved and blew kisses to her parents, waiting until she was off the road before letting out the breath she didn't realize she was holding.
When she pulled into the driveway of her new home, seeing sex god standing on the front steps, she knew this was the best decision she had ever made.
Next up is move in day with a little sweaty Edward.
