Bella's POV

I stared back at him as he stared back at me. He kind of did look familiar, but I doubt I ever met him.

"Sorry, I don't think we've ever met." I told Chief Swan.

"Hmm… I think you're right. I mean I have never left Forks and you have only been here twice, so I doubt we have."

"Yeah…"
"Well it was nice to see you again Chief Swan, but we have to get going." Edward said politely.

"Please call me Charlie. It was nice to see you too Edward and it was nice to meet you Bella." He said smiling this all too familiar smile. Why was this man so familiar? It was starting to really bother me.

"Yeah it was nice to meet you too Chief Swan… I mean Charlie." I said smiling up at him.

We waved goodbye and walked off.

"He seems like a really nice man." I said.

"He is it's sad that he's lonely. He has no family." Edward said looking sad.

"That's horrible." I mumbled.

I lay back in my bed remembering my date with Edward and meeting Chief Swan last week. For some reason I couldn't forget about Chief Swan. He seemed like such a sweet man and made me sad to think he had no family. I guess today I was thinking about it more because I had another date with Edward later today. This was going to be our second date. I was so nervous and excited. I still wasn't sure if I could trust him, but he seemed like the kind of person I could trust.

Tonight Edward was taking me out to dinner. I didn't have to work tonight so Edward invited me out to dinner. Vivian, Anne, and Victoria were all freaking out on what I was going to wear and how my hair would look. They said they had bought me the perfect outfit. I was scared just the thought of what it could be. I was even more nervous tonight about our date because this was going to be even more of a date than last time. Last time we just walked around Forks. This night was going to be a step forward into something. Not a relationship because I couldn't do that, but maybe friendship. For some reason I didn't like the sound of friendship it was like it wasn't enough for me, but I had to push those feelings away. As the time got nearer for Edward to pick me up I decided to go take a shower. When I got out the girls were there waiting for me. They did my makeup and waved out my hair a little. They brought out a red dress that had safety pins all over it. It was cool, but I so didn't want to wear it! They forced me into it and I put on black pumps. (Look at eternal thing on the side for the outfit.) I looked in the mirror and looked at myself in every angle. Man I looked hot! Wow! I would never think I actually was glad that the girls would force me into this! I heard someone come up the stairs and it was Anne.

"Bella! Edward is here and by the way you look A-MA-ZING!" She said excitedly.

I panicked. What was I going to do? I felt like I was trying to hard again. Especially, since I was wearing a dress and heels. Ahhh! Deep breathes Bella. Deep Breathes. I commanded to myself.

"Okay… tell him that I'll be down in a second." I said panicky.

"Bella you will be just fine!" Anne said and with that she was out my door.

Vivian rushed over to my side. "Bella you really do look amazing! You are going to make his eyes pop out! Now hurry up! Let's go downstairs so I can have the pleasure of seeing his reaction at seeing you and before Victoria says something embarrassing to him." She said chuckling. I rolled my eyes at her and took a deep breath, grabbed my purse and headed toward the door.

As we walked downstairs I could hear them laughing. Ugh! What could they possibly be talking about?

As I came into view, Edward looked over at me and smiled his crooked smile. His eyes popped out just a tiny bit for my pleasure.

"Hi." I said.

"Hey." He said smiling.

His eyes lingered over my body and then back to my eyes. His eyes were dark with hunger. My stomach was filled with butterflies at the thought of kissing him…No! I couldn't think that way! I blushed and looked away.

"My, my, my, don't you look beautiful!" Victoria said which made me blush even more.

"Thanks." I mumbled still looking away.

"Edward, don't you think Bella looks gorgeous! It's your opinion that counts, so what you think?" Vivian asked excitedly at him. Her eyes roamed his body. I couldn't blame her he looked even more gorgeous than usual. He was wearing a grey suit. Mmmm! He looked so yummy! What was wrong with me?

Edward cleared his throat and said, "Absolutely!"

I blushed and looked away from him.

"Well it was nice to meet you Victoria and Anne and it was nice to see you again Vivian, but I think we should get going." Edward said with his crooked smiled.

"Same to you Edward." They all said dazzled.

I said goodbye to them trying to hold in the laughter from their faces. Once we were out the door I busted out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Edward asked.

"How you dazzled them!" I said still chuckling.

He chuckled too and it was such a beautiful sound.

"I dazzle people?" He asked.

I laughed. "You haven't noticed?"

He shook his head and stared into my eyes. "Do I dazzle you?"

Of course he did! What kind of question was that? Wasn't it obvious?

"Frequently." I said with a smile.

He smiled back at me and opened the car door. He helped me in and then shut the door softly behind me. He walked around his car and started driving toward the restaurant…

We pulled up to La Bella Italia and he helped out the car. When we got inside the hostess nearly had a heart attack when she saw Edward. She greeted us too warmly.

"Good evening…and welcome to La Bella Italia!" She managed to stutter.

Edward smiled at her and told her he wanted a table for two near the back. I tried ignoring the fact that he had smiled at her. Gosh Bella control yourself! He was only smiling! He smiles at everyone all the time! When she showed us to our table came behind me and pulled out my chair. Which I thought was so romantic. I had never been treated this way. It was so new and foreign to me, but I liked it. It made me feel special. He smiled at me and didn't keep his away from me as the hostess talked.

"Your waiter will be right out."

He nodded but didn't look away from me. My heart was hammering like crazy. This man was definitely going to be the death of me for sure!

The waitress came over and her jaw dropped when she saw Edward.

"Hello I'm Amber and I'll be your waiter for the night." She said looking at Edward. What the hell? Stop acting like I am not here on a date with him! Hoe! Why was I so jealous? We weren't going out and he wasn't mine to claim. Plus I couldn't fall for him. I looked away trying to ignore the bitch.

"So what can I get you?" She asked.

"Bella?" Edward asked which made me look up and meet his gorgeous eyes and face.

My breathe caught at the sight.

"Yes?"

"What would you like to eat?"

"Um…" I said looking for something to eat.

"Mushroom ravioli and a coke please." I said picking the first thing I saw.

She wrote it down and looked at Edward.

"And you handsome?" she asked.

If she didn't stop right now with her flirting, I was about to slap a hoe!

Hoe vs. Hoe that would be interesting and since I'm pretty sure I had more experience, I would kick her ass. I wonder if Edward would think it was hot. I smirked at the thought.

"Same." He said.

She wrote it down and left. Thank god! I don't think two hoes' can be in the same room at once if they want the same thing.

"It's funny how you are just dazzling everyone tonight." I said.

"What are you talking about?" he asked confused.

Really? Was he that blind?

"C'mon! Did you not see the hostess or the waitress? They were both practically drooling all over you!"

"Really? Well I really didn't notice. I had other things in my mind." He said looking at me.

This of course made me blush. I cleared my throat and tried to change the subject, but thank god the waitress came and brought us our food. That was the only time I was thankful for her presence.

"Can I get you anything else?" She asked Edward.

Man this hoe really wants me to kill her!

"No thank you." Edward said politely.

She looked disappointed. I wanted to badly to say: Ha! You hoe, who won? This girl right here! And I also wanted to stick my tongue out at her but that would be really childish.

We started to eat. I looked up at Edward and he was staring at his food. He looked disgusted or something.

"Is everything okay?"

He looked up surprised. "Yeah of course why wouldn't it be okay?"

"I don't know you looked disgusted by the food. It's really good if that's worrying you."

He had this panicked look in his eyes for a second, but vanished immediately. "Oh… well it's nothing, it's just I'm on a special diet and I'm not use to this kind of food."

"Oh! Why didn't you say something before? I would have eaten whatever you wanted to eat." I said sincerely.

His eyes widen in panicked for some reason. "I doubt you would." He said quietly.

"You wanna bet?" I challenged. "You should let me try what you eat one day." I said which made his eyes even pop out more and look at me like I was crazy.

"Bella this is fine I promise." He said looking under his long eyelashes.

My heart was going crazy. How can one man be so gorgeous? It should be illegal to be that gorgeous! It wasn't fair!

We talked for a little while laughing and joking at stupid things. We finished eating and decided to go take a walk around. It was already dark outside.

"So… Why are you a stripper Bella?" He asked.

"I'm pretty sure I already told you…" I said looking into the shops nearby.

"I know, but I want to know if… you have ever thought about quitting and I don't know maybe go to school like your suppose to? Angela, Jessica, and Lauren go to school and strip, why can't you do that?"

Wow was he serious? I felt my heart clench. I thought he was different and wouldn't care and like me for who I was…apparently I was wrong…

"Edward…This is my life now…I'm used to it. And as for school I don't need that. I doubt I'll be able to do anything with my life. I've already missed the last 3 years of school. As for Angela, Jessica, and Lauren, they have parents so they have to!"

I said hurt that he brought them up and compared them to me. Angela I loved and adored to I didn't mind, but the other two hoes…

"Wait. So you have gone to school?" He asked.

Shit! He wasn't supposed to know that! Think fast Bella before you tell him everything! I didn't like lying to him so I would tell him something that wouldn't give too much away.

"Um… Yeah I did, but stopped when I became a stripper…"

"Why? So u preferred to be a stripper than keep going with your education?" He said sounding mad.

"Um it's my life isn't it? I think I get to decide what I do and what I don't!" I shouted. I was starting to get pissed at him.

"Yeah, but you should pick what's best for you!" He shouted right back.

"I did pick the best choice for me!" I shouted. If he only knew the truth, I did pick the best choice. It was either live with Renee and Phil or be a stripper. Stripper was the better option.

"You're impossible! Have you ever even thought about being normal like everyone else?"

"Um of course I have! But like I said being a stripper is what I know and I have my family there." I said wanting to cry. My family…

"Bella…" he said softly. I looked at him and he looked like he was in pain.

"Yes?"

"Bella, why don't you try going to school and getting a normal job? If you need help my family and I are more than willing to help you…" He said sweetly. This man was killing me!

"Why can't you accept me for who I am?" I yelled at him.

"I just want the best for you! I care about you Bella!" It made my heart almost stop, but I ignored it.

"Well stop caring for me! I am who I am and you can't change that Edward! You either like me the way I am or you don't!" I yelled again, feeling the need to cry.

"Bella please…" He begged. His eyes looked so sad it was killing me.

"No Edward! You know what? I'm going home! Apparently you can't accept me for me! So you know what don't look for me, don't; call me or text me and don't talk to me! If you want to go with Angela, Jessica, and Lauren! Apparently they are better!" I said pissed off and about to cry. I started walking away looking for a taxi.

"Bella!" Edward yelled, but I kept walking and ignored him.

"Bella!"

"Bella stop this right now and look at me!" He said all of a sudden right in front of me blocking my way.

I jumped in surprise. "What do you want?" I yelled.

"Bella I'm sorry! Please don't be mad at me!" He begged.

I walked around him trying to get away, but he grabbed my arm. His touch was cold, but it sent an electrical feeling in me. I ignored it and tried pulling back.

"Let me go Edward!"

"No! Listen to me!"

"No! You listen to me! I don't want anything to do with you! I thought you were different and wouldn't care that I was a stripper, but apparently I was wrong! Now let me go! I'm going home!"

"Bella I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! You just have to understand…"

"What? That you can't accept me for who I am?"

"No!"

"You know what? Whatever! I'm done! Goodbye!" I said storming off.

"Bella!" He said right behind me. "Let me at least give you a ride home."

"No! I don't want anything from you!"

"Bella you're overreacting!"

"Overreacting really? What would you do if I didn't accept you for who you were? Huh! Would you like that!" I was about to cry now I could feel the tears in my eyes. I tried holding the tears back, I wouldn't cry in front of him.

Before he could answer I saw a taxi cab and I ran toward it.

"Bella!"

I kept running now with tears rolling down my face.

"Bella! Get over here!"

Who the hell did he think I was? His daughter or something?

I got into the taxi and gave him the address.

"Drive! Please!" I commanded with a thick voice.

I looked back but Edward was out of sight. Hopefully that meant he got the message. Man! Had I been wrong about Edward. He didn't even like me for who I was. I was hurt. I thought maybe Edward could have been the one… In this moment sitting in the taxi crying, I felt exactly like the day I ran away from home. I tried pushing those thoughts away, but it didn't work. The taxi driver stopped in front of my house and I paid him and got out and walked toward the door. I looked into the street and saw Edward's car right behind the taxi cab.

Oh you got to be kidding me! I ran faster to the house and begged that the door was unlocked. Luck was with me because it was and I ran right in and locked the door and ran upstairs to my room. When I got to my room I curled up in a ball and cried non- stop. It seemed like forever had passed lying on that bed.

"Bella!" I heard Vivian yell worriedly.

I rolled over and saw her looking worried.

"Bella! What happened! Did he hurt you?" She demanded.

I couldn't even speak because I was still crying hard.

"No…" I managed to say. "He… just…doesn't…accept me…for…who I am…" I sobbed. Vivian grabbed my face and moved my hair out of my face looking me in the eyes.

"What? What the fuck! I'm going to kill him! Is he an idiot?" Vivian

"Stop…I…don't… wanna… talk about it…"

"Bella…" She groaned.

"Stop! I'm done with him… he was just a guy…I'm not going to let some guy destroy me!" I said speaking a little more clearly.

"Bella, I could tell you liked him… I know you're hurting…"

"I'll get over it… and no I didn't like him…it was just the idea of finding someone that was a guy that showed that he cared about me." I said lying to her and myself.

She didn't look convinced. She knew me so well.

"Okay then. No more Edward. Let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed then." She said sweetly helping me up and into the bathroom…

The whole week I tried to not think about Edward, but he kept popping up in my mind. I had to forget about him. He hadn't come to work or look for me, which made me happy and sad. I had to admit it made me sad that he hadn't even tried to apologize and beg me to forgive him. On the other hand I was happy because I had to forget about him….

Who was I kidding? I never wanted to forget about him….

I got read for tonight's show hoping that he would be here tonight, but at the same time hoping that he wasn't.

Tonight I was wearing a pink corset, a light brown stripped skirt, black pumps, and a whip. My hair was in soft curls running down my back. Yep! I was going to be kinky tonight. It was going to be interesting. Angela came up behind me wearing a Minnie Mouse outfit. It was a really short red dress with white polka dots, black pumps with white socks, and a head that with the ears and the bow. Her hair was curly too; she looked really sexy. Vivian was right behind her wearing a blue and white sailor outfit. It was a light blue bra, white and blue underwear, a sailor hat, a red scarf tied around her neck, white pumps and curly hair too. Damn we looked sexy!

The show started and I went out the men went wild. Looking into the crowd my heart almost stopped. Edward was sitting staring at me with his brothers at either side of him. It felt great to see him, like i wasn't breathing and all of a sudden was able to. I looked away from him. I tried to keep dancing and succeeded, but I could feel his stare on me, I tried ignoring it. It was hard to do.

The men were going crazy with the things I was doing with the whip. They kept yelling "Come spank me I've been a bad boy!" wow they were pathetic.

While the other girls danced I got called down for a lap danced. I told Ben if it was Edward to tell him I was unavailable for him, but Ben assured me it was someone else.

I went out and went to the table Ben took me too. I could feel Edward's stare on me. It was a really tall, muscular, with brown skin with short hair. He had some boyish feature in hi. He was handsome thought.

"Hello I'm Bella… Are you ready for your lap dance?"

"Yes I am very ready! By the way I'm Jacob…" He said in a deep voice.

I looked over at Edward and he was looking at me really frustrated. Then I got an idea. I should make him mad and jealous. This will be fun…

"Well Jacob, be ready to have the time of your life!" I said winking at him seductively.

He gulped and I started torturing him slowly. I walked around his chair slowly touching the whip on him slowly up and down his body. He groaned and cussed under his breathe. I got on his lap and started dancing on him.

"Mmm…You're so sexy and good at this..." He said groaning.

I smiled at him and kept doing what I was doing. I looked over at Edward and he had his hands clenched on the table and his nose flaring. Emmett's hand was pushing him down on his shoulder. I smirked at him then looked back to Jacob. His hands were running um my thighs and to the string on the back of the corset. He tried undoing them which made me freeze.

"Um can you stop trying to untie my corset please?"

"Why? Don't you wanna go back to the rooms?"

"No… I don't do that sorry, but I can get you another girl if you want?"

"No I only want you…"

Before I could respond, I felt like I was flying in the air. All of a sudden I was standing behind Edward's body and he was right in Jacob's face.

"You stay away from her!" He yelled. He looked like he wanted to kill Jacob. His eyes were open wide and his nose flaring and his teeth exposed. He looked animalistic; scary as hell. Threatening….

"Edward stop!" I yelled.

"You can't say what she does or not! What are you her pimp?" Jacob yelled.

That's when Edward lung for him.

"NOOOOO!" I yelled.
