AN: Guys I just wanted to give you a real apology…it sucks I know, I had a hiatus, obviously, and I wasn't able to inform you. Just know that I have every intention of finishing this story this summer.

I really hope that you would understand, but it's okay, I just hope that I would be able to make it up to you this summer and I am also planning on rewriting my chapters. TAKE NOTE: I WONT take it out, am just gonna edit it and all.

Now onward with the tremendously late chapter…:P but I updated earlier than what I said in my previous AN

Chapter 9

EPOV:

When I approached Bella her face was priceless. Her mouth formed an "O" and her face was absolutely in shock. I was wondering what passed through her mind when she saw me, I mean she looked pretty nervous and a bit agitated a while ago.

Then she did the most adorable thing, she blushed then stuttered my name. Adorable right?

When I was about to say something, I saw something flash in her doe eyes. Then next thing I knew it we were both leaning in. The magnetic force was just too strong to ignore.

Her face was coming closer and I was able to see her more clearly. I peeked in between my eyelashes and saw her half-lidded eyes. I wanted this so bad, but both of us knew that this was too fast. I just met her for crying out loud!

The next move I did was most definitely not my proudest moment.

I grabbed the nearest thing I saw, chuckled nervously and blurted out nonsensical words.

I didn't know what happened but due to my panic I just started toying with what I got, which was Bella's notebook. Hmm, this seemed interesting so I began flipping the notebook then what I saw left me breathless.

Edward Cullen

In Bella Swan's notebook: in this angel's notebook!

When she reached for it I just didn't wanna let go of the piece of treasure I have.

I smirked because she was just too cute with her furrowed brows and her bottom lip caught between her teeth while tiptoeing to reach for her notebook.

Then it was her turn to smirk because she suddenly sat down and her face turned into the most adorable and cutest puppy-dog face ever! I couldn't help but do whatever she asked me to do. But c'mon let's face it I would've done everything she told me to do. I was wrapped in her tiny finger and I bet she didn't even know it. I gave back her notebook then she ignored me, well more like created a curtain using her brown locks. But I would bet my whole allowance that she was blushing underneath that.

As we listened to Mr. Banner droning on and on, I kinda felt bad- not because of what I saw, on the contrary it made me feel high as a kite, but for not respecting Bella's privacy. All of a sudden, an idea popped into my head that if executed properly could make up for what I did, but if done poorly make me even a bigger fool than what I was feeling right now. I grabbed my notebook and my pens then flipped to a blank sheet and began my masterpiece.

When I was finished I snuck a look to Bella and saw that she was still hiding from me.

So before I could talk myself into backing out, I passed my notebook with the page I made, facing towards her. She looked at me curiously but when she glanced at my notebook, her face brightened up and she started to giggle and smile, so I felt a bit good about myself.

But when she raised her eyebrow at me, I abashedly looked at her and felt my ears heating up.

For the rest of the period we just passed notes and talked about ourselves, until the bell rang.

My time with Bella was coming to an end.

When we headed out of the classroom we saw my sister and she went to us. When she was about to escort Bella to gym, I decided that- maybe I could still prolong my time with Bella even for a few minutes. So I whispered to Ali my desire to walk Bella to her next class. Alice looked at Bella while muttered something under her breath that sounded a bit like, Dad taught you well, but wasn't sure what it entirely meant. She winked at me and told me to hurry up because Spanish is on the other side of the gym and we had less than 2 minutes before the bell will ring again.

I am positive that I will receive a tardy slip.

Oh well, for Bella…

When I led Bella to the gym I realize that the next time I'm gonna see her is tomorrow. That's roughly 17 hours!

Hmm…well I need to make sure she'll be thinking of me, because I can't seem to get her out of my mind, not that I wanted to, because I don't.

I leaned in towards her ear, she smelled like strawberries and vanilla! I felt my pants tighten a little bit. I internally groaned. Stupid hormones, I thought.

I whispered into her ears my parting words and I had to restrain myself from kissing her sweet, plump, kissable lips.

Edward, leave before you practically maul the poor girl. I imagined.

Hmm, new material for the shower, whispered my inner 17-year-old boy.

I cleared my thoughts before Bella would be able to read what I was thinking through my face. I mentally face palmed myself.

I glanced back to see her for the last time, then the warning bell rang.

Well it's good that I'm on the baseball team, then I sprinted towards Spanish.

¡Oh, no, señora espero. Gonzales no se dará cuenta de mi tardanza

Charlie POV:

"Good afternoon, Forks General Hospital how may I help you?" Said a perky, shrill voice.

"Uhm, yes. Good Morning, may I please speak with Dr. Carlisle Cullen?" I said gruffly.

"Who, may I ask, is speaking?"

"It's, uh, Chief Swan" I answered.

"Chief Swan? Oh of course, I shall patch you to his receptionist. Hold on for one moment." The nurse, I presume said, though I detect a bit of curiosity and wariness.

Well, I can't blame her, I thought. I mean what business is the Chief of Police gonna talk about with the Big-Shot Dr. Carlisle Cullen?

"Good morning, Dr. Cullen's office" said Carlisle's receptionist, Emma, I believe. Carlisle once mentioned that Emma and Esme belonged in the same garden club.

"Yes, uhm good morning, this is Chief Swan is Dr. Cullen available?"

"He was just finishing his rounds, Chief Swan. I'm sure he'll be back in a minute. Oh, if you'll excuse me Chief Swan. I need to answer the other line. I'll put you on hold and just patch you to Dr. Cullen's office as soon as he comes back."

"Thank you. Uhm, I'll wait" I said after a few seconds of silence.

I decided to answer a few of the paperwork scattered in my desk. When I reached my 2nd one I heard Carlisle on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Charlie! Sorry for the wait. It's just that there were a few mishaps with one of the interns." He said while chuckling.

"Ah. A normal day for the prestigious doc" I answered.

"Well, it's good to hear from you Charlie, but I am inclined to believe that you didn't call me only to hear what's happening in my hospital."

"True that Carlisle, but let's just say that while reading the morning paper. I found something interesting that may help us with your son and my daughter."

I heard Carlisle sputter, before I heard him laughing boisterously. At first, I didn't particularly get why he was laughing but then realize how absurd this phone call was. I mean, me and Carlisle rarely talk outside our fishing boats –so when I called him this was definitely out of the "norm" for both of us.

After a few more chuckles he asked me what I read, with disbelief coloring his tone, I may add. I relayed to him the abridged version of what I've read in the paper, and after a few seconds of contemplating and absorbing what I said we started to brainstorm a few ideas regarding what we would do next. But overall, we were both really confuse on what to do- considering we were both men and men do not set up their kids for fun. So we realized that we needed a female perspective and Carlisle suggested we talk to Esme or Alice.

However Carlisle's pager suddenly went off, apologized for cutting the conversation short but he said that he was needed in the pediatrics wing. When we were saying our goodbyes, he invited me as an afterthought for dinner, so that we may inquire Esme or Alice's help. I politely declined because I didn't want to leave Bella alone for dinner and though he mentioned that Esme would love guests, I believe that Bella would be a bit uncomfortable on stepping in a stranger's home and having dinner. We decided to just talk during our fishing trip next weekend.

We bid our goodbyes, still chuckling, if I may add.

Before I returned to my paperwork, a thought crossed my mind:

Oh Carlisle what have we gotten into.

AN:

Hello, guys! I just wanted to say...I'M BACK! And that I'm serious about finishing this story. I estimate this story to have 20-25 chapters. I wanted to apologize once more for my conflicting updating schedule, but I figured out that I will most likely update weekly: Wednesday or Thursday?

So I noticed that my story is a bit draggy and vecause of all throughout my story I realized how slow the pace is. (please tell me if it is or isn't) so I may or may not skip to the fishing trip, next weekend.

And for those who who wasn't able to read my AN...i decided to change the rating of this story to M, because of the language i might add...am not sure if I'm adding a lemon/lime but for those who are offended, do not worry..I will post a warning in my AN before the chapter.

Thank you guys for all the support and love!

I shall update next Wednesday or Thursday?

Btw, I am working on another one-shot. I hope you guys will love it! Think of it as a peace offering for my hiatus.

R&R my lovelies I will appreciate it so much and I promise to write back ;)
