Trease: I am having soooo much fun with this! I guess I'll pass it back over to Nyddi since I've been hogging it since chapter 6...*looks sheepish*
Defeated or Conquered?
BPOV******
Tired, exhausted, mentally drained. That's what I was feeling after searching for Edward. It was fruitless! I've searched everywhere! The local college campuses, the libraries, the bars, the clubs. Nothing.
I felt defeated. Bella Swan never admits defeat but damn, it got me today. It had been ten days! TEN! And I was no closer to him today than I was the morning I woke up alone.
"Dammit Bella. I don't know what the hell your problem is but this shit is getting old." Ugh! And did I mention that my friends didn't make things any better? They called themselves helping me but really they were just pissing me off!
"Rose shut up please. I don't feel like your shit today. Alice, can you please grab me a bottled water out the fridge?"
I heard her shuffle off the couch as I sat there on my laptop, Google Mapping any other possible places I could go and see if Edward would be there.
"Um Bella, who is Edward?"
You know those moments where everything gets quiet and in slow motion? Yeah, I definitely just had one of those moments as I ran in the kitchen to see what the hell may have prompted her to ask me about HIM. I froze instantly as I seen her fingering a small piece of paper. I couldn't snatch it fast enough. It was a note from Edward. Saying how he enjoyed himself and asking me to call him. And his number was there.
FUCK!
I had his number right here the whole fucking time! Can we say 'dumbass'? How I managed to miss this on the refrigerator for ten whole days I would never know but I definitely wouldn't waste another minute. I rushed out to where my cell phone was sitting, attempting to kick Rose and Alice out while fumbling to dial the number. I wanted him tonight.
"You bitches have to go now! Get the fuck out!" I was pushing them towards the door when there was a knock. I paused. I wasn't expecting anyone yet because Edward would definitely be here later if it was up to me. I opened the door and there he was. Standing in all his wonderfully sexy glory with glasses. Fucking glasses! Full on nerd mode. Ungh! Fuck me! His hand quickly fell as it raised mid knock. Our eyes met. I'm sure his had to reflect mines. Pure fucking hunger.
"Bella."
