Bella's mom passed away and the problem is, she's now stuck living in her step father's house until she's eighteen. He becomes very strict when she breaks one of his rules, and she gets into deep trouble. And the questions is, will it really be a problem? I don't think so.
I finally let him in. And he frowns, with arms crossed in front of him. He stands by the window, still not saying a word. I'm still sitting on my bed, looking at nowhere but him.
Silence.
He sighs before finally breaking the silence, "I..uh, I'm sorry."
"..for what?" I ask, is he really sorry for ignoring me?
"Uh..fuck, you know..the spanking." His cheeks turn a bit red and I'm dumbfounded.
What?
The?
Fuck?
This is so weird.
"I shouldn't have done that..it wasn't the most accurate thing to do, it was what I wanted to do and it was wrong and I'm so sorry for ignoring you this morning..I didn't know what to say. I'm sorry for everything."
Oh, so he was sorry for everything..
"Don't be." I blurted out.
"What?"
I shrug,
"It was wrong, Isabella. Please forgive me."
"I don't need to forgive you.." I say "It wasn't wrong. I broke one of your rules and if that is your punishment, I'm totally okay with it. I swear."
I can't even believe that I said it. But it was definitely true.
He made rules and this is his house so I had no right.
"I still had no right, and I really am sorry for..touching you. I was half-asleep and I wasn't really thinking."
"Like I said, it's okay..Edward." God it felt so weird to call him by his first name.
He sighs.
"You have school tomorrow so you should probably get some sleep.."
I nod and he kisses my forehead before leaving again.
I didn't see Riley in Biology class and it's okay. I didn't like him anymore, like the way I used to. It's so different. I only wanted Edward. Still do.
And I just have to do something to make him want me to.
But how?
I have plenty of time for that.
Right now, I'm having lunch with my friends and I'm so irritated by Jessica's voice.
She speaks a lot. She doesn't stop.
When I can't take it anymore, I excused myself to go to the bathroom.
As I was walking towards the empty hallway, Someone placed a hand on my shoulder.
Riley.
Panic shot through me and I almost screamed but he stopped it by placing his hand on my mouth.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? I wanted to say sorry."
He finally dropped his hand and sighed.
"I..I was drunk. And you looked so sexy that night, I couldn't stop myself. It's clear I wasn't thinking but I was also being an ass, thinking you also wanted me."
"I wanted you. Not anymore..," I stopped and looked at his blue eyes which was filled with sadness.
"If Edward wasn't there, you could have forced yourself on me and I would never forgive you and you'd be in jail by now."
"Is Edward your step dad?"
"Uh...yeah."
"He likes you." He says and I laugh.
"What?"
"I know this..because I'm a guy and he's a little too overprotective of you. I even got scared, and as much as it was embarrassing, I admit it. It looked like he was really gonna kill me because I touched you."
"He's overprotective cause after all, he is my step dad."
"It's different, Bella. I saw the way he looked at you before I left."
I thought of what he said..and can't help but wonder if it was true, does Edward really like me?
Riley was gonna say something but then the bell rang so he simply said he'd be late for class and soon, the hallway was filled with students.

"Uh, can I ask you something?" I ask, Edward who was currently busy reading a book and sitting on the couch.
He's even wearing a glass and fuck yes, he looked so sexy. He stops reading, and looked at me.
"Sure."
"Have you ever thought of dating again? I mean, it's been months and-"
"I have."
"Oh."
"What brought this on?"
"Nothing, just wondering." I said, quietly;
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
what the fuck is wrong with you, Bella?
did I seriously say that?
am I that stupid?
fuck my life
fuck me
"No, I know you're beautiful." He says and I blush.
He smiles before reading again.
Sorry if I didn't update yesterday.
And yeah, I know this is a really short chapter.
But I couldn't think of anything. It's because my puppy died, okay? I'm so sad...
So yeah.
Next chapter is EPOV.
Please review and make me happy! :)
