Chapter 11

Bella

"Breathe Bella," Dan whispered in my ear.

We were just getting out of my car. We were outside a small hall in Port Angeles, one of Meg's possible locations. It was time for Operation Ignore Edward- I was going to pretend that he wasn't with us.

"I am breathing," I hissed back.

"What are you two whispering about?" Shelly asked loudly.

Tasha turned at Shelly voice's. I suppressed an internal groan. She smiled to me.

"I guess we know who's wedding we'll be attending next," she said.

"You wish!" cried Dan and I together.

"Why don't you guys just admit that you have feelings for each other?" asked Meg.

"Let me think. Oh. Right. Because we prefer to keep our personal lives private," Dan replied.

"Stop fighting," Meg ordered us.

"Tash started it," Dan and I replied in unison.

"You see, you guys even speak together. It's so cute."

Meg laughed at us. "She's right, Bella."

I turned to Dan. "Get me out of here," I begged.

And then I got an idea. I winked inconspicuously at Dan and walked over to Tash.

"Well, now that the cat's out of the bag. Do you think you can get Meg to give us some time alone?"

Tash gaped at me before throwing her arms around me. "Bella, that's great. Of course."

She walked over to Meg who was busy talking to Alice.

"Where's Esme and Carlisle?" I asked Shelly.

"Esme is decorating or something like that. Carlisle's at work."

I watched as Meg's face lit up when Tash spoke to her. She nodded animatedly. I smiled Alice turned to me with an arched eyebrow. I gave her a small wave. I had nothing against her.

My smile quickly faded as I noticed someone approach Alice and Meg. Edward stiffened before turning to me. I met his dark, seemingly angry gaze for a nanosecond before turning to look at Tash.

"Bye, Bella," yelled Tash.

I forced out a laugh and winked at her. "Thanks," I mouthed.

I walked back to Dan. "Let's go."

"Where?"

"I don't know. Where do you want to go?" I asked seductively.

He caught my drift. He smiled flirtatiously at me.

"Where do you want to go, Bella?"

"Wherever you want to go."

Everyone awwwed behind us. Dan wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me into the car. For the next two hours Dan and I sat in the car, listening to music. It felt good-I didn't have to pretend anymore that Edward wasn't around because now he really wasn't.

Meg let us skip the location scouting but she insisted that Dan and I be present for when she choose cards.

I got out of the car with a scowl. There was no way in hell that I was spending time with the Cullens.

"Stop moping," Dan whispered.

Of course, since we were surrounded by vampires, it was a wasted effort.

"You had the whole morning with him, Bella. We understand that you've just admitted your feelings for him, but it's my wedding. Please humor me."

"It's your wedding. Why do I have to be present for the choosing of cards?"

"She reminds me of you," Shelly said to Tash.

I glared at her.

"What? You do," she insisted.

Dan pulled me into the printers. I made a face but followed him. I felt a familiar pain in my chest. I was dangerously close to remembering that Edward was here.

I concentrated on my breathing.

In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out.

I was starting to feel a lot better. I looked up and nearly stopped breathing at what I saw.

Edward was making his way over to me.

Gasp! What will she do? And where is Dan? What kind of a pretend-boyfriend is he?

For the answers to these questions, tune in for the next chapter of 'A Small World'.

Which might be in two or three weeks, since I've got the Flu. Curse these mundane human sicknesses.

And while you guys are waiting so very patiently, please review my two others stories 'A-Lister' and 'Vampires In Balinor'.

Or at the very least, just review 'A-Lister'. I've got an idea for 'Vampires In Balinor' that might make readers want to kill me. And personally I think that I'm too young to die.

So please review 'A-Lister'. Even if you hate it, let me know. twilight-is-lovee, you're direct so that goes for you.

And let me know what you think of chapter 10/ The prologue for 'The Race For The Ruby'.

Very few people have commented on it, which is disappointing because I want to publish it and I really need an honest opinion.

twilight-is-lovee that also goes for you. LOL

Till Next Time

XOXO
