I was pulled out of one of the most amazing dreams I had ever had. Bella and myself were sitting on a blanket in one of the public parks in Seattle. It was a lovely day and there were lots of families around as well. Suddenly, a beautiful small child came bouncing up to me and threw herself into my arms.
Her slightly wavy brown-red hair blew around until the wind slowed from the motion of movement. Her all too familiar scent hit me and made me think of the woman sat right next to me. Her face turned to me as she placed one hand on my face and said
"Push me on the swings, Daddy" It was not the face she had said the word 'Daddy' that shocked me. No. it was the eyes. a Perfect Replica of Bella's staring right back into my own. And the perfect smile that beamed up at me in anticipation
"Sure hon. Ill be there in a second." As the girl got off me I leaned over to my Beautiful girl and noticed a small golden ring on the left hand. It was very familiar. I smiled as I placed a kiss on her cheek as she then watched me get up and chase after the child.
I was pushing the girl on the swing, her laughter ringing in my ears when a boy, around the age of five came up to me and pulled on the back of my trousers. I turned to see his broken face. tear stained and puffy eyed. Though this was not the only thing to break my heart. His dead, saddened voice was the thing that made me almost cry
"Daddy, did you forget me? What about mommy? Did you replace us?"
And then I woke up in a cold sweat. I recognised the little boy. My little boy. Anthony. And his mother, Kate. the dream had gone from pure bliss to utter nightmare in the space of about three seconds I rolled over to see I had only a few minuets until my alarm was due to go off. In the dark, I fumbled around until I found the correct button. I lay there thinking over what I had just dreamt. I hadn't seen Anthony in 3 weeks now. Though he had been on holiday and last weekend I had been rather busy. Maybe I should call Kate today and ask if I could perhaps see him the week after next. I didn't want my little boy thinking his daddy had forgotten him. 3 weeks to me were nothing to me. They sometimes felt like 3 minuets. But to a five year old. They could seem like an eternity. And then another thought hit me. I had seen Bella, with a wedding ring on. One that looked the same as my mothers. The very same one she had left to me in her will.
I decided I would let Bella know I was leaving to get ready for work, so I shook her gently, placing a few small kisses on her cheek.
"Bella? Bella? Im sorry to wake you, but I was just letting you know im getting up for work. I didn't want you to wake and panic again" I honestly didn't want her thinking I was insensitive.
"What time is it?" She managed to get out. It was very muffled as most of her face was buried in the pillow. "Five-thirty. Love." I answered.
"Just leave me another note. I already forgot wha-" he words were slow and quiet. When suddenly there was silence. I assumed that she had fallen asleep and would leave her another note. Like she requested. And I would tell her what time to expect me home. Seen as how she had made a fuss yesterday about not being able to make me a proper tea.
After showering and dressing I made my way to the kitchen to get out some cereal and a cup off coffee. Whilst the kettle was boiling and I was spooning some instant coffee into a mug, I realised I now had a dilemma. I had Bella her. The woman of my dreams, who I had wanted for so long but never been able to have. The one woman who I had been forced to admire from afar because I thought she was happy with Jacob fucking Black. But I also hadn't told her about my son. Something like that should not be kept from someone you are practically living with. And then on the other hand were my son and Kate. Kate didn't care much for me anymore. And neither did I care for her. We had been together for about 6 months in high school when she found she was pregnant. I stayed with her all the way through the pregnancy and for about a year after he was born. But things got too much for her and she kicked me out. Insisting that she didn't need me in her life. And I had to hand it to her. She has done fine without me there. Although I still pay maintenance for him.
But should Kate ever think I was pushing Anthony away for some other woman, the claws would come out.
I continued to ponder over this situation while I ate and drank and once I was finished I wrote Bella her note. Telling her I would miss her and couldn't wait to come home. Because to be fucking honest. This was going to be a long fucking day.
BPOV
I sleep peacefully that night. I dreamt of Edward and myself on a beach on some remote island. With the waves lapping at the shore and the sunrays beating down above us as we lay on the sands, forgetting that the rest of the world was actually happening a few miles back across the sea.
"You look beautiful, my love." I suddenly heard someone whisper into my ear. It made me jump a little, but I opened my eyes just enough to see Edward, propping himself up on one arm, his eyes hungrily bouncing all over my not too covered body.
I sat up and looked over his body too. It took my breath away. He was wearing a pair of simple black swimming trunks and still managed to make himself look like he was a model. If only I could look like that in swimwear. I had on a midnight blue bikini. Edward insisted on it, he said he loved the way it made my skin glow slightly. The planes of his well-defined chest still had a few beads or water clinging to him for dear life, most had been dried up by the sun. I hadn't swum yet, too afraid to drown, though I knew Edward would not let that happen to me.
He rose onto his feet and held out a hand for me. I placed my hand in his and he helped me stand.
"Come on love. The water is so warm, you'll love it." He promised in his honey sweet voice. As we walked the short stroll to the waters edge, I noticed, looking back that our footprints were faint. Like only ghosts had walked them. I ignored it, and focused my attention back on the man next to me. As we reached the waters edge, I slid out of my flip-flops and he also kicked off his sandals. He lead me into the water by the hand, and as the water got up to around my chest, he floated onto his back puling mew with him.
As we twisted within the warm water, now kissing the waves were gently rocking us from side to side. I could feel myself getting slightly nauseated by the sensation and Edward soon picked up on this.
"Is something wrong my love?" His voice full of concern.
"I just feel slightly nauseated., with all the rocking." He smiled back at me and pulled us up back into the shallow parts. So most of our bodies were covered as we sat.
"I love you so much Isabella Cullen" he hummed as he kissed the top of my head as I gazed out across the open space of water, watching the sun begin to set.
"I love you too Edward. So much, it hurts me to be away from you."
"Then don't ever leave"
"I don't plan on it. Till death do us part. Remember?"
"Yes. That day shall forever be etched into my heart and mind."
Although the scene was beautiful, the people, voices and sounds were all wrong. Like they were only half filled. Like something other was yet to be added. The colours around me, they looked washed out, watermarked if you will. The voices and sounds all sounded like echoes. Far away and only half full.
I was being pulled from the dream by a rocking sensation.
When my eyes opened. I was disappointed to be confronted by darkness and a few sliver slivers pushing though the blind slats.
"Bella? Bella? Im sorry to wake you, but I was just letting you know im getting up for work. I didn't want you to wake and panic again."
"What time is it?" I groaned out. Already forgetting what he told me.
"Five-thirty. Love."
"Just leave me another note. I already forgot wha-"
After that, I didn't remember anything else. I think I fell asleep again, because the next time my eyes opened. A orange tint was filling the room. I rolled over to look at the small alarm clock sitting on the pine nightstand. Eight thirty. I decided it would be late enough to get up and dressed. As I did so. I though about the dream I just had. Edward had called me Isabella Cullen.
WTF?
And it seemed as though we were on out honeymoon. I had only met Edward, less than a week ago (Excluding the probable many time I had walked past him in the hallways and not even noticed him) and I was already having dreams of being his wife. I couldn't deny being with him felt totally right. But I also couldn't push this feeling that he was keeping something from me.
Whilst dressing I realised that most of my bruising was staring to clear up, though the worst was still on my ribs, my arms were looking allot better. I was feeling brave and put on another pair of low rise jeans and a nice red T-shirt with a slight floral pattern along the hem. I made my way into the kitchen and again noticed a piece of paper standing up on its side. I picked it up. And read it
Dear Bella,
I know you probably don't remember but you told me to leave you another note after I woke you this morning. Ill be back for around eight tonight so maybe you can cook me up something else delicious. Though, I know one thing that tastes far better than anything you could ever cook. ;)
I will miss you while im at work. Every second drags when I am away from you.
Love you
Miss you
-Edward.
P.S There is a spare key in the drawer under the phone. If you want it. It's yours.
Wow, Edward left me a suggestive note, told me he loves me and misses me while he is at work and left me a key to his apartment. I sat the note back down and made my way over to the phone.
Then something hit me. I hadn't even spoken to Rosalie in almost a week. I picked up the phone and started to dial. She wouldn't have left for work yet, she doesn't start until ten thirty. It was Thursday and only half nine. Half day for Rose. The phone rang for about 3 seconds before a very out of breath Rose answered
"Hello?" She croaked.]
"Hi, Rose, it's Bella." I said timidly. I knew what was coming next.
"Oh my gosh BELLA SWAN! Don't you ever do that to me ever again! Not calling me. I got worried and when to your apartment only to find the door had been locked shut with a police notice on the door. I rang your cell over 100 times trying to find you but nothing. I called Ange and she said she hadn't heard anything on Sunday so I gave up there. And I was soo worried Bella. You don't know how much." I heard sobs coming from the other end of the phone
"Rose its fine. I'm fine. Honestly. Come round after work and I'll tell you everything."
"Come round where Bella?"
"Well you know my old apartment?"
"Yes"
"Well, 3 doors down, on the same Side. That's where im staying."
"Ok, you will tell me everything then Bella, I have been a nervous wreck. Worrying about you soo much. I have know you all my life. Well, not literally but it fells that way."
"I know exactly what you mean Rose. And I feel bad for not calling you sooner. I have been… Distracted."
I couldn't help the sly grin on my face,
"Bella. Stop smirking and tell me now!" Crap. She was good
"Not till later. Don't you need this hour to sculpt that hair of yours? Plus I need to nip to the shop"
"Oh gosh, your right. Talk later Bella."
"Yeh, see you Rose."
"By Bella."
"By Rose"
-click-
placed the phone back into its cradle and then started to rummage through the drawer for said spare key. Once I found it I put it in my back pockets as I decided I would walk to the store down the road. I had been inside for days it would do me good to get some air.
I found my purse missed in with a bunch of other stuff Alice had rescued from the apartment for me and checked how much I had in there. There was only $15.00 and a few quarters, so I thought that would be enough for my little outing.
Once I had made my way out of the apartment and down to the main street, I begun to feel a little nervous. Like someone was watching me. There were plenty of people out and about on the sidewalk, heading to work, meetings and such. But I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I hurried down the sidewalk keeping my eyes trained on the floor and making sure my purse didn't fall out of my pocket.
The store wasn't too far away, no more than a ten-minuet walk and when I got there, It was almost empty. Only a few people in the actual store. After another fifteen minuets of pointless wandering around the aisles, I noticed the shopkeeper giving me funny glances, so I decided to just get the daily newspaper. After leaving the store, my plan was to sit on a bench and take in some fresh air. I found one not too far from the store and made use of it. Reading non important things like some 60-year-old woman who has adopted the 89th cat this year and so on. I sat there for around half an hour before the typical Olympic Peninsula weather patterns kicked in. the rain started to fall. I didn't like the rain. Cold wet things didn't do it for me. My instincts were telling me to run home, to get out of the foul, wet and cold. But the rational part of my brain was telling me a wet pavement and Bella running was not a good combination. I walked quickly, but not enough for me to fall over, with the newspaper tucked under my arm. It took me around twenty minuets to walk back to the apartment block
On arriving back to the apartment, I saw a familiar looking car parked on the road, and then a very familiar blonde stepped out.
"Bella!" she squealed. "I went up there and knocked on the door you said, but no one answered so I thought I had the wrong door, but I checked and I thought I was right so I came back down here to wait to see if you had gone out." Wow, this woman could talk. She said this so fast, I had only blink once during the whole speech.
"Um Rose. Im not a super human robot. I can't process everything that quickly. And do you mind if we move inside. Getting wet here."
"Sure. So anyways. I got to work and then realised it was shut. Vera was standing outside, probably waiting for me, I don't know why she didn't just ring me to be honest Bells, and anyway. She told me the salon would be shut for 3 days. Gas leak apparently." She shrugged her shoulders and stepped into the lift. I pressed the buttons and as soon as the doors closed she assaulted me with questions.
"So, You have some explaining to do. Missy." She pointed her finger at me. And then waited for me to continue. I had around seventy eight seconds until the lift reached my floor.
"Ok, im not going to go through every detail, so to cut a long story short Rose. On Friday night, Jake came home late again. We fought, he kicked me out I ended up collapsing in tears in front of some randomness door. He came home invited me in, let me stay the night. I was going to ring you on Saturday, but I totally forgot."
"You. Forgot. About. Me?" she sounded upset. I turned to look at her face properly
"Rose, it's not like that. See. I went into the apartment, just to try and grab a few things, I ran out with nothing the night before. But Jake cornered me. Again. And beat me up. I was in hospital Rose. Im sorry."
"He did what to you Bella? That dog better not have touched one hair on your god damned body or I'll-" Her tone was deadly, the acid in her voice would have been enough to melt away the small metal box wee were still in.
"Rose, its too late. I have a couple fractured ribs, broken toe or two and hello?" I made a point of the bruising to my body.
"Bella, why do you put up with it?"
"I'm not. The police are getting a court date sorted out and he is in custody for the time being." The lift dinged and we exited. I pulled the key from my back pocket and opened the door.
"Wow, Bella. You sure can pick them cant you." She said, taking in the awesomeness that was Edwards's apartment.
"And he is tidy too." I added.
"I can see that. So. What's the deal with you and this guy?"
"Edward and I? Well, im sort of living here for the time being? Does that count as anything?"
"Well, did he tell you that you can stay here? And did he give you that key or is it on loan?" I decided to see her make her own conclusions on the letter that he left me that morning. I walked over to the counter were I had left it, picked it up and handed it to her.
After a few seconds of reading it she looked up at me, and then I realised it was a bad idea, she had seen that part about something tasting better than anything I could cook.
"So, how many times have you fucked him then?" I was a little shocked, but then again I shouldn't have been. Rose was never one to sugar coat things. I sighed then told her what she wanted to know.
"Twice. Once Saturday morning and last night. Not that its anything to do with you. Do you see me asking about your sex life?"
"No. Because your too god damned chicken to ask. You should try talking about it more often. Might loosen you up a bit."
"Rose. You know I don't want to know who you have been fucking and id rather not know. Ok?"
"Fine. But im having details out of you." She said. I knew there was no going back now.
I ended up telling her ever-single detail. She was good at getting what she wanted. We spent the large part of the morning discussing my sex life and she was busy giving me pointes on how to have better sex. Not that I was complaining about sex with Edward anyway? It was all-good if it was sex with Edward.
At the first opportunity I got, I decided I would distract her. If there was anything on gods green earth that worked better for a distraction to Rosalie Hale, It was asking her how her weekend was.
"-And anyway. He sounds hot. And like he cares about you. So he passes the Rose test." She added with a sweet smile.
"And since when did I need you to pick guys for me?"
"Since Joke-ub Black. Oops I meant Jacob black" She truly hated him. Ever since the first time she met him and immediately saw a bruise on my arm, put two and two together and got four first time.
"Rose, please. Can we talk about something else?" I begged
"Fine" she grumbled. "What do you suggest?" Now it was my turn. I thought with a sly smile.
"How was the date then?"
"Oh my gosh, Bella. Emmett was such a Gentleman. He was so sweet and he didn't even try and kiss me on the lips goodnight. He just gave me a peck right here" she pointed with a perfectly manicured nail to the exact spot on her cheek where he kissed her "and the watched me go in and then drove away. I think he could be the one Bella." She was so happy, her skin was glowing. Her smile lit up her whole face. she hadn't even tried to date anyone since Royce dumped her a year ago. I managed to convince her that it was time she got back out there. Just because one man spoiled it all, doesn't mean they are all like that.
Wait, did she just say Emmett?
"Hey Rose. What was the guys name again?"
"Emmett. Why?"
"That wouldn't happen to be an Emmett Cullen would it?" I couldn't help it. Its not like Emmett was a common name. Not like Sam or Mike is anyway.
"Oh my gosh. Yes. Do you know him?" Rose was shocked to find out I knew him.
"Sort of. He took a statement off me about, you know."
"Yeh. Oh guess what Bella?"
"What?"
"He has invited me to-" She started, so I thought I would finish
"His parents on Sunday for dinner?" There was a moment pause before we both erupted into laughter.
We sat laughing, talking about the men in out lives and funny stories that we knew about them. Time was passing and before long rose had to up and leave.
"Oh, I didn't know how late it had got. Im sorry I have to go pick up my dress from the Drycleaners. The one im going to wear Sunday."
"Ok Rose. And I just know that you will look fabulous in it."
She gave me a quick kiss on the check and a soft hug before dashing out of the door. The rain had eased off by now, but it was still drizzling outside.
Rose had only been gone around ten minuets when the phone range. At first I thought it could have been her, but if she had forgotten something, then surely she would have just come back for it. I had given her the number for this apartment so she could call me incase she felt more Bella withdrawal symptoms. I was about to pick up the phone when it went to answer message.
Hi, Edward. It's Kate. Look I know your at work right now, but as soon as you get in, can you please call me. Anthony is missing you and wants to know if you can come over. He misses his daddy. 3 weeks may not seem long to you. But him, it feels like centuries.
Just call me back as soon as you can.
Bye.
It was a female and as I stood there, I became more and more enraged with Edward.
Kate?
Anthony
And worst of all.
Daddy…?
