Chapter 10

Previously in chapter 9

Hey! Are you working tonight?

I looked over at Edward shocked. What the hell was that supposed to mean! did he actually want a repeat performance of last night! Does he expect me to sleep with him for his silence? I wrote a reply angrily and threw it back at him.

Why? Is this to pay for your silence you creep!

He stared at the paper silently for a few moments and began writing a reply, I was just so so angry! How could he? I knew I was a fool to trust anyone! I should have listened to my instincts.

As he gave me back the reply it was snatched out of my hands I looked up quickly and mr banner towered over me. I was so angry I didn't see him coming around.

"Care to share with the class miss swan?"

Present

Oh crap oh crap why do these things happen to me I mean like seriously!

I just sat there frozen. Edward beside me with look of pure terror on his face. I knew we were caught. And that if mr banner read that note. Everyone would know my dirty little secret. Today just wasn't turning out the way I hoped it would. But then again when do any of my days turn out the way I wanted them too?

I slowly tiled my head up to look mr banner in the eye and noticed he had his hand outstretched I had no choice but to hand him the note.

He gave me a stern look and proceeded to look over the note, and just as I thought he would read it out to the class he looked at me and Edward pointedly.

"In future mr Cullen, if you wish to know miss swans working hours I would recommend you do so between classes" I looked up at him shocked and he gave me a look of pity. Almost like he knew everything that was happening to me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and I saw Edward visibly relax beside me.

"I'm sorry sir, ill make sure to do that in future!" he flashed him one of his dazzling grins mr banner just smiled and continued on with his lesson.

That was to close I cant afford for things to get that close again. I'm going to have to stay far away from Edward. Its almost like.. I don't even know myself when im around him. Everything is just.. Him. That thought made me smile.

I came crashing down to reality when the bell rang. Lunchtime. I had some research to do in the library. Its not like I had any friends to sit with anyway.

I feel more comfortable in a library than I do anywhere else. How sad is that? I grew up reading books. It was the only way I found I could escape the real world and pretend all of this wasn't happening to me. I searched my favourite shelves as I came in and found my all time favourite book. Romeo and Juliet.

Il be the first to admit im a sucker for romance and even thought I couldn't really relate to any of the characters personally. I still felt a deep connection with the play. One that I know I would probly never be able to explain to anyone, let alone to myself.

I brought it over to the computer I was using to do my project. I hated using computers, I always felt like they were going to explode at any second. It was a stupid fear I will admit. But one I was just going to have to live with.

I looked up as a shadow fell over my keyboard, and saw the last person I ever expected to see in the library at lunchtime.

Edward Cullen.

I stared at him stupidly as I waited for him to say something.

"Hey…." he said cautiously, almost as if he was waiting for me to tell him buzz off. I breathed a sigh of relief he wasn't going to give me a hard time about the note thing.

"Hey Edward, what's up?" I said as I booted up the ancient school computer. He looked nervous.

"Look I just wanted to say sorry about today.. The whole note thing in bio.. I think you misunderstood what I meant" I looked up at him sharply.

"And what exactly did you mean?" I said acidly and I noted with glee that he flinched.

"I know you hate your job, ok? And I also know that most of those guys, your mothers friends? take advantage of you. I just wanted to let you know you have a friend. And that I can go to the club every night and watch over you. Be your bodyguard if you want. I just want to make sure you are safe"

I looked up at him as he finished his speech. I saw the sincerity shining in his eyes but It made me wonder, could I trust him? Or was he just doing this so he could see me naked?

I looked up at him as I tried to get my head around what he just said. And thought, what the hell else do I have to lose?

"Ok, I start work at 6" I said quietly.

He smiled at me "You wont regret this Bella, I just cant bear to see you hurt, see you at 6" he flashed me one more smile and walked off.

Work tonight was definitely going to be interesting.
