Disclamier: I don't own
Chapter 11
Monday morning I found myself being woken up by a small pixie jumping on my bed. Groaning, I pulled the covers over my head.
'Alice, go away. I'm sleeping.'
I yelped as the covers were ripped from my hands and off of me.
'Alice!'
Alice stuck her tongue out at me from where she now was by my closet. 'No time for sleep now Bella, time to get ready for school. I thought you would have had enough sleep last night anyway, or were you so busy you didn't have time to sleep?'
I blushed while picking up a pillow and throwing it at her. I missed and ended up knocking all my picture frames and bits and pieces off my computer desk.
'Nice shot. I thought you could throw Bella?'
'Very funny Alice. And yes I did have enough sleep last night thank you very much, but I haven't this morning and it's only…oh.' Looking at the clock I realised it was the time I usually got up in the morning, so I didn't really have much of an argument.
'Could I just…not go to school today?'
Alice continued looking through my closet, no doubt here to pick my outfit for the day. 'But then you wouldn't see Edward.'
I was up and out of bed before she had finished the word 'Edward' and was heading to the bathroom. There was no way I was missing school now as Edward would be there. A huge grin made its way onto my face as I remembered last night. We spent the night just lying under the stars before he had brought me home. I hadn't wanted to leave him but he left me with a kiss and the promise of seeing me tomorrow.
I was done faster than usual and made my way back to my room with a towel wrapped around me as I'd forgotten to take any clothes with me. As I passed I peeked in Charlie's room to see he was gone, remembering that he had the morning shift this week.
When I entered my room I found a set of clothes laid out ready on my bed for me but no Alice in sight.
'Alice?'
'Downstairs! Get dressed then I'll bring you breakfast.'
I dressed in the outfit she had picked, liking the ensemble instantly. I was wearing black skinny jeans -I think if Alice had her way she would dress me in them all the time- along with a light purple long sleeved collared sweater. Like most of the clothes Alice picked for me it clung to me in all the right places, showing off curves I didn't know I had. I'd just pulled on the sweater when there was a knock on my door. Opening it, I found Alice standing there with a steaming mug of coffee and some toast.
'I hope this is okay, I wasn't sure what you'd want.'
I gratefully took the coffee from her, 'It's perfect, thanks.'
She handed me the plate and headed towards my desk. 'Good, now sit. I need to finish getting you ready.'
I obliged with her request and sat on my computer chair. She started out on my hair and ate my toast before she started on my face, which there was no doubt she would.
'Alice, how did you get in here?'
'Ah, now that is my little secret. Just be happy I wasn't here earlier. Now what I want to know is what went down with you and Edward last night.'
I smirked slightly, 'Now that is my little secret.'
Alice huffed from behind me. 'No fair. Fine, I used the spare key hidden under the plant pot. Now spill.'
I made a note to remember to move that at some point before telling Alice about mine and Edward's evening. I had just gotten up to the part where Edward had asked me to be his girlfriend when she squealed.
'I knew it! The first time I saw the two of you together that day I knew you two would get together. You're so perfect for each other. Wait…you did say yes, right?'
I laughed at how she was getting carried away. 'Of course I said yes Alice, I'm not stupid enough to turn him down. And we've been together less that 24 hours, how do you know we're perfect for each other?'
She playful hit my shoulder before returning to my hair. 'Oh shush, and it doesn't matter how long you've been going out. I just know these things, and it's true. Now close your eyes, it's make-up time.'
When Alice was done, I looked in the mirror to see the end result. 'Wow, Alice.'
My hair was up in a messy bun with a few curly tendrils hanging down and she had used a light purple eye shadow to go along with my top with a small amount of lip gloss.
Alice smiled happily, 'You're welcome. Come downstairs so I can show you your shoes.'
I took one last look in the mirror before following Alice down the stairs, 'Alice, please don't tell me they're heels.'
'Okay, I won't!'
She thrust a box into my hands and I gingerly opened them, instantly groaning. In the box was my worst nightmare. Black knee high boots, with stiletto heels. I was going to break a bone today.
'Alice, there is no way I can wear these. And I said no heels.'
She just flapped her hands at me as though disregarding my words. 'You said not to tell you they were heels, not that you didn't want them. It's not my fault you don't make yourself clear enough.'
I sighed, rolling my eyes at her. I knew there was no way I was going to get out of this. But I knew of a plan that could get me out of wearing them all day.
'Fine. I'll meet you in the car, I need to go grab something from upstairs quickly.'
Once she was outside, I carefully ran upstairs and slipped my lifesavers into my bag. They would definitely come in handy later. Back downstairs again, I slipped on the death traps that Alice called boots and went outside to meet Alice in her car. I had to admit that they finished the outfit off perfectly. Here's to hoping I don't have an accident today.
Alice's crazy driving got us to school in less than half the time it would take me in my truck. As we pulled into the parking lot I found myself automatically scanning the cars searching. I didn't have to look hard to find the silver Volvo as Alice was heading straight for it. My face fell slightly when I realised that Edward wasn't there. Suddenly my bag strap was very interesting and I stared at it as Alice parked. She had to call me twice before I realised she had gotten out of the car and I followed suit.
I found that walking in the boots weren't as bad as I thought and I soon began to relax about not falling on my face. Me and Alice were standing outside the building to our class, we were early and she didn't want to go in yet, when I felt a pair of arms around my waist and a velvet voice in my ear.
'You look wonderful, Bella. Although I wish Alice hadn't made me stay away from you for so long.'
I smiled at Edward's voice and his words and turned to face him, his arms staying around me.
'Hey.' My voice came out as a whisper although I wasn't sure why and I wrapped my arms around Edward.
Edward leant down to kiss me before pulling back and smiling down at me. 'Hi.'
I stared up into eyes, not wanting to say anything. I was so happy and couldn't believe he was mine. I hadn't realised everyone else had come along with Edward until a gagging sound beside us brought them to my attention. I turned to find Emmet standing with Rose, his arms around her.
'Nice of you to finally notice us. I'm sure Edward's eyes are just so lovely, but it's a little sickening to watch.'
I blushed slightly, 'Hey, everyone. Sorry.'
Rose smacked the back of Emmet's head. 'Don't be mean. Come on, we have to get to lesson. Later everyone.' The two of them left, and that meant Edward would have to leave soon. I tightened my grip on Edward the same moment he did me and I turned to look up at him.
'I'll meet you after class, okay?'
I nodded and Edward bent to kiss me one last time before running off to his class so he wouldn't be late. I followed Alice and Jasper inside, hoping the time would pass by quickly.
As soon as I got to the classroom door I wanted to turn round and walk straight back outside again. Mike Newton was standing by the door, staring straight at me. As I approached to go inside he let out a wolf whistle, causing me to blush and wanting the ground to swallow me whole.
'Damn, Bells. You're looking hot today.'
Ignoring him I passed by, but was stopped by his hand on my wrist.
'Come on now baby, don't be like that. I just wanted to talk to you.'
I froze on the spot, not looking at him. 'I'm not your baby, now let go.'
I started to panic when he didn't let go and pulled me towards him. The teacher wasn't here yet and there wasn't anyone in the corridor.
'I'll let go if you agree to come out with me tonight.'
'I have practice. Let me go.' I jerked my hand away but he just gripped me tighter. What was with him? He was usually so nice. I guess I was wrong about him.
'Come on, lets ditch class now then and we can go have some fun. You know you want to.'
'Let go of her now Mike before I make you, and believe me that won't be pretty.'
He instantly let go and I'd never been so grateful that Jasper was in my class. I took a quick step back to get away from him.
'Whoa, chill dude. We were just talking.'
Jasper had now reached us and stood between me and Mike, Alice at my side.
'Really? It didn't look like that to me. Seemed as though you were hassling her, and didn't I tell you not to do that? Go near Bella again and you will regret it, got it?'
It looked as though he was going to argue, but he just stalked off into the classroom. It was then that Alice spoke.
'Bella, are you okay? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you on your own, Newton is such a creep.'
'I'm fine, honest. Thanks, Jasper. I just…freaked out a little.'
Jasper gave me a one armed hug, 'I'll always be here for you, Bella. Come on, the teacher will be here soon.'
We entered the class together, Alice staying at my side and insisting that I sat between the two of them. I found this a little strange but agreed anyway, not wanting to draw attention to myself. I didn't realise a was shaking to Alice but her hand over mine on the desk to comfort me and I smiled gratefully at her.
The time when I would see Edward again couldn't come quicker.
Lunch soon arrived, thankfully without anymore incidents, and was happy to find Edward outside of my class. I happily went into his waiting arms and clung to him, relaxing into his touch.
'I missed you.'
Edward leant down and kissed me before pulling away and speaking, 'I missed you too. How were lessons?'
I pulled a face, remembering that morning. After English Alice hadn't left me alone for a moment, but other than that it had been a normal day. I wasn't sure whether I should tell Edward about Mike, so decided to leave it for now. 'It was okay, normal boringness. Yours?'
By now we had begun walking to the cafeteria, Alice was behind us with Jasper who had also been waiting outside our room.
'Dull. I'm glad we have the same lessons this afternoon.'
'Hey Bella! Why don't you come over after practice?'
I turned to see that Alice was now beside me, 'Um, I'd love to, it's just I haven't seen Charlie since Friday…I should probably make him dinner or something.'
Truth was I'd been avoiding him, and would have been much happier going over to theirs.
'He looked after himself before, right? Come on, it'll be fun.'
'Alice, if Bella doesn't want to come over don't force her.'
'Don't you want me to come over?' I mocked hurt and put on a sad face.
Edward's eyes widened slightly. 'No! I mean, yes! I do want you to come over, I just don't want you to feel pressured by Alice.'
'I am not pressuring her! I bet you want her to come over even more than I do. Plus Esme wants Bella to come over for dinner, she said that we behave when she's there. I think that applies to Emmet though.'
I laughed at their arguing which brought the attention back to me again.
'Okay, you twisted my arm. I'll come over.'
Edward's face lit up and he bent down to kiss my forehead, 'I'm glad you said yes.'
I laughed again and smiled up at him, 'How could I say no? I love it at your place. Will you come with me to my locker? I need to get some books.'
Edward nodded and we left the others outside the cafeteria and headed towards where my locker was. We had just rounded the corner of the building when Edward stopped me.
'Bella, you know you don't have to come over right?'
I pulled him down to my level so I could kiss him. When I pulled away and I looked into his eyes, a smile on our faces.
'I know, but I want to. So stop arguing, okay? Or I'll start to get offended and think you don't want me there.'
Edward's arms slipped around my waist as he spoke and I stepped closer to him, 'I wouldn't have you anywhere else. I was thinking I would hold up my end of our deal and teach you piano.'
I smiled up at him, 'I'd love that. And does that mean I get to hear you play?'
'Yep, if that's what you want. Come on, lets go to your locker.'
He began walking away but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back, 'I don't need to go to my locker.' Edward raised his eye in question so I explained. 'I want to change my shoes, but couldn't in front of Alice. I was hoping she'd be distracted in the lunch hall so wouldn't see. And I was hoping I would be able to put these boots in your car…if you don't mind, of course.'
'Going against Alice? I'd be happy to help. Although, I wouldn't want to be you when she finds out you changed the outfit she picked out.' He smiled his crooked smile at me before leading me off in the direction of the car park.
'I'm willing to suffer her wrath if it means I can get out of these boots. They may look good and may have started out not being so bad, but I'm worried if I wear them for much longer I'm going to lose the feeling in my feet.'
Edward chuckled beside me, unlocking his car so I could sit in the seat to change my shoes. 'Well, we don't want that to happen now do we? We'd lose our star player on the team and it would mean I couldn't take you out on Thursday because you'd be in the hospital.'
My head shot up halfway through taking off the second boot. 'Why are you taking me out Thursday?'
Bending down, Edward pulled off the forgotten boot for me, placing it in the back with the other, 'A little pixie told me it was your birthday, which you just so happened to forget to mention. So that means I get to take you out.'
Damn Alice.
'I don't want a big fuss, Edward. I'm not a big fan of birthdays. Couldn't we just…stay in and watch movies? Treat it like any normal day.'
'But it's not just any normal day. It's your 18th Bella, you should celebrate. And I wanted to celebrate with you.'
'We can…just at yours. Please?'
Edward sighed in defeat and I knew I'd won. 'If that's what you want, then I won't force you. But Alice may go over the top, just a word of warning. Why didn't you tell me anyway?'
I pulled out my lifesavers from my bag, a pair of black ballet flats, and placed my feet in them before standing up. 'It didn't come up.'
'It didn't come up? That's a pretty bad excuse, Bella.'
I smiled, 'Well, It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.'
He chuckled, seemingly not angry with me. That was a good sign. 'You are strange Bella, but you're also incredible. And you're mine so I couldn't be any happier.'
Stepping up on my tiptoes, I placed a light kiss on his lips. 'I agree. Now lets go eat, I'm hungry.'
'As you wish, Madame.'
I managed to escape Alice's anger at lunch when we returned. She looked at me as we approached, saw my shoes and just shrugged, seemingly unbothered by my change of shoes. According to Edward this was something big, who couldn't believe it. Alice's defence was that the flats worked just as well. I don't know why she wouldn't let me wear them this morning instead if the boots, but I just accepted it and ate my lunch. Like I told Edward, I was hungry.
Biology was even fun today and managed to take my mind off the whole Mike issue this morning.
That was until I bumped into him on the way to Gym.
Me and Edward were heading to the gym and I'd just stepped outside when it happened. He was coming in as I was leaving , I was busy talking to Edward whose hand was in mine to pay much attention to who it was and carried on walking until he spoke.
'You know if you wanted to touch me all you had to do was ask.'
I froze in the doorway, Edward whirling round to look at Mike.
'What did you just say?'
'I wasn't talking to you, Cullen.'
'Well I have the displeasure of talking to you now, Newton. What did you say to Bella?'
'That's between her and me. Our…conversation was disrupted this morning.'
I tired to tug on Edward's arm to pull him away, but he wouldn't move, 'Edward, come on. Just leave it.'
'Yeah, Edward, just leave it. Don't want you getting hurt again now do we?'
Edward growled slightly, which shocked me a little. I'd never seen him angry before. Mike turned away from him and turned his full attention onto me.
'So how about it babe. Lets go finish that fun we were having this morning.'
I opened my mouth to speak but Edwards movement stopped me. He let go of my hand and grabbed Mike by the collar, slamming him into the wall.
'Don't ever go near Bella again. I know what you're like, Newton, and I won't think twice about knocking your head off if you do anything. If I hear that you touch Bella again, speak to her, or even look at her you'll be sorry. Got it?'
Mike smirked at Edward, 'Temper temper. I was just asking the little lady a question. No need to get angry that she wants me.'
Edward spoke through clenched teeth, 'The only way you can get someone is if you force yourself on them.'
'I didn't hear her complaining earlier.'
I could see Edward's fist clench at his sides and I instantly cringed back. Mike must have seen it too because he brought his hands up.
'Edward, stop.'
I spun round and let out a breath I hadn't realised I was holding. Jasper was approaching fast with Emmet not far behind. I could see Alice and Rosalie coming up behind them.
'He needs to be taught a lesson.'
Jasper placed a hand on Edward's shoulder, 'Not now, just leave it.' He leant forward to whisper something in his ear which made Edward let go of Mike and turn to face me. Emmet was now standing with Jasper and I could no longer see Mike.
Edward came up to me and wrapped his arms around me. 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act like that. He just gets to me. And after what he done this morning, I just flipped.'
I nodded slowly, clinging to him. It was crazy of me but in the instant that Edward had clenched his fist I had felt like I was back at home with Charlie, and I was afraid.
But I knew Edward wasn't like that, he wouldn't hurt me. He got angry because he was protecting me and I'd never felt so safe in his arms.
'Come on, let's go.'
Alice and Rosalie walked with us while Jasper and Emmet stayed behind.
It was then that I realised something.
'How did you know about this morning?' My voice was way too shaky for my liking, and I swallowed to try and get it sounding normal. Thankfully Edward was there to keep me calm.
Edward let out a small sigh, putting his arm around my waist as we walked away from where Mike was.
'Jasper told me. You should have told me, Bella. He shouldn't be able to get away with it.'
'I'm sorry. I just…didn't want you to worry. And Jasper was there so everything was okay.'
'Please don't keep things from me Bella. You can tell me anything.'
I nodded. If I spoke I would be lying, and I didn't want to lie to his face like that. Because I couldn't tell him everything. Charlie didn't mean to do all those things…I couldn't get him in trouble.
Plus…what if Edward didn't want me anymore when he found out the truth?
I couldn't risk that.
So I just kept my mouth shut as we walked to gym class, Edward's arm around me keeping me close.
In gym we were playing table tennis and by the end of the hour I had managed to forget about the earlier incident and was looking forward to baseball practice. The others had decided to head on home and me and Edward were going to meet them there later. I'd just stepped outside to head towards the baseball pitch when a pair of arms made there way around my waist. I panicked for a second before hearing Edward's voice in my ear and instantly relaxing.
'Did I ever mention how good you look in that uniform?'
Turning to face Edward, I smiled up at him. 'Hmm…maybe a few times.'
'Only a few? I need to tell you much more than.'
I shook my head and kissed him. 'There's no need to. You here with me is enough.'
Edward smiled into the kiss, pulling me closer to him.
I was enjoying the moment until we were interrupted.
'Ah, my poor virgin eyes!'
I pulled away reluctantly from Edward and turned round to face the intruder. Edward laughed as he saw Kurt standing there with his hands over his eyes and I couldn't help but giggle.
'If you have virgin eyes than I must be in a parallel universe because there is no way that that is true.'
Kurt peeked out from behind his hands to look at us, a grin on his face. 'I thought I was in a another universe when I saw you with Bella. You snatched her up fast.'
Edwards arms tightened slightly around my waist, 'Well, I couldn't let her get away'
I smiled up at Edward who kissed my forehead.
'Please, I don't think I can take anymore. Lets get to the field before I have to separate the two of you and coach has a hernia from shouting that we're late.'
I laughed as we made our way, 'Coach never shouts that bad, does he?
'You've never turned up late to a game. Bad times, bad times.'
Kurt shook his head slowly from side to side, a grimace on his face. Edwards body vibrated beside me as he tried to contain his laughter.
'I don't know why you're laughing Edward, we lost that game because he wouldn't let me play!'
'True, but the look on your face when he was screaming at you was priceless. I thought you were going to wet yourself.'
'If you're ever in that position, I'd like to see you stay calm. And speaking of, did you see Newton earlier? He was running to the parking lot looking like he'd just seen a ghost or something. He looked petrified, it was hilarious.'
'I wouldn't mention him if I were you.' I looked up at Edward to see his jaw clenched, and Kurt must have noticed too because he quickly changed the subject. I guess Mike was like that a lot.
Practice passed by without anymore problems, we were practicing pitching and I even learned some new techniques.
'Okay everyone, gather round. Saturday is our first home game. You'll find out who's playing Friday, so I expect you all here. If you're not, you won't be playing Saturday. Simple as that. Now off you go.'
'So Bella your first match, you excited?'
We were on our way back to the changing rooms and I rolled my eyes at Kurt.
'He hasn't even told is who's playing yet, I could be sitting on the bench for all you know.'
Kurt scoffed, 'Please! You've been here a week and already it's obvious you're better than most of the guys on the team. Coach would be nuts not to put you on Saturday.'
'Well we'll just have to see. I'll meet you out front okay Edward?'
He nodded, kissing my forehead before heading into the guys changing room.
As I was changing I couldn't help but think about the game Saturday. It would be unbelievable if I was picked to play and I kept imagining what it would like to play a real game against someone else with my new team.
I shook my head, smiling to myself. I had to be here Friday first and actually get picked. I had been playing my best lately, and I did seem a likely choice. I would just have to wait and see.
I was happy to see Edward waiting outside for me and slipped my hand in his as we made our way to his car.
'You know, you're going to have to be careful. I could get used to being driven around everywhere.'
Edward chuckled, opening the passenger side for me. 'Well, if it means spending time with you I'd gladly do it.'
'I'll hold you to that.'
The car ride to his house was filled with easy conversation and found the stresses of the day being left behind me as we drove. Edward was talking in great lengths about the game on Saturday, coming up with the best combination of players which would guarantee a win when we arrived at his house. I had to smile at the face that they all included me, him, James and Kurt. I guess before I came along they were the best players there, which they were.
When we entered the house Alice bounded over from the sofas and gave me a hug, surprising me.
I laughed when she pulled you away, 'Alice, you saw me a little while ago. You're acting like you haven't seen me in forever.'
She just shrugged, 'Am I not allowed to be happy to see you anymore?'
'How about a little warning next time before you come barrel me over?'
Alice laughed as she made her way back to where she was sitting, 'Okay!'
Edward shook his head, taking my jacket for me, 'I swear she gets hyper off of air. Do you want something to eat or drink?
'Some water would be nice, thank you. And I like it, she always seems so happy.'
Edward smiled over at his sister before leading me into the kitchen. I felt a slight pang of jealousy that she had a brother like Edward who would look out for her, but I quickly pushed that away. Thoughts like that wouldn't help me.
'Oh good, you came Bella!' Esme came over to me and pulled me into a warm hug. 'It's nice to see you again, Bella.'
I smiled, returning the hug, 'Thank you for inviting me over, it's nice to see you too.'
Esme waved her hand at me, 'There's no need to thank me, we love having you here. It's like you're a part of the family already.'
I could feel my cheeks going slightly pink and I wanted to hug her again. Thankfully Edward spoke before I could embarrass myself.
'Do we have enough time to play the piano for awhile before dinner?'
'Of course! Your fathers going to be a bit late back from work so I was just about to start making it. You have plenty of time, you two have fun.'
'Would you like me to help, Esme? We can always play another time.'
Esme smiled kindly, 'Oh no dear, don't you worry. You two go spend some time together, I'll get Emmet in here. He deserves some punishment for trampling my flowers.'
I couldn't help but laugh when Emmet's head suddenly poked round the door.
'Mum! It wasn't me! It was a wild animal running through the yard.'
'Emmet, since when do animals where shoes?'
The look on his face was comical as his mouth opened and closed a few times in a good imitation of a fish. His face took on a defeated look as he came into the kitchen.
'Okay, what do you want me to do?'
We left the kitchen then, Edward with two bottles of water, and headed back into the living room. I stopped where I was, unsure of where to go now.
'This way, Bella.'
I turned to see that Edward was standing by a door that I hadn't noticed before. I followed him inside to find a set of stairs which went down. So this must be the basement where he was the last time I was over. I walked slowly down the stairs, stopping at the bottom to take in what I was seeing.
Sat in the middle of the room was a beautiful white grand piano. It looked magnificent and I didn't want to get too close in case I ruined it.
'Bella, you can come in you know.'
I walked over and sat next to him on the bench. 'It's beautiful Edward.'
'Yes, I agree.'
I looked over to see Edward staring at me and blushed. I looked away before I could get lost in his eyes and ran my fingers gently over the keys.
'How come it's down here? I mean, its just that if I had something this lovely I'd want everyone to see.'
I looked up again to see Edward smiling at me, 'I used to have it in the living room of our old place back in Chicago, but I actually prefer it down here now. Back then I'd play it a lot and it would get on peoples nerves after a while. Not that they didn't like when I played, but when your working on a composition and you're playing the same bits over and over again it can get a little annoying. Also, I would get ideas in the middle of the night and I wouldn't be able to play them. But here, the room is sound proof so I can play whenever I like.'
I smiled up at him. It made perfect sense now he said it like that. 'So, do I get to here something you've written?'
Edward seemed thoughtful for a while before turning to the piano and playing a piece. It was beautiful and I found myself closing my eyes to concentrate on the music better. When he was done I slowly opened my eyes to find Edward staring at me again.
'That was amazing, Edward. You're very talented.'
Red tinged his cheek and I found myself smiling even more.
'Thank you. It isn't finished yet, but I wanted you to hear. I started writing it that night we had pizza.'
'Really?'
Edward nodded and I leant forward to press my lips to his. 'Well, if that's unfinished I can't wait to hear the finished piece.'
'You'll be the first to hear.'
I kissed him again before pulling away. 'Good. Now I know I'm going to make a fool of myself, but teach away.'
Edward chuckled before beginning his lesson, starting with the basics. At first I felt like giving up, but slowly I started picking things up and by the time Alice came down the stairs to tell us dinner was ready I was fairly confident with remembering most of the notes and had even got me playing chopsticks, which was actually kind of fun.
As we went up the stairs, Alice pulled me back to talk to me.
'Bella, that was so cute.'
I raised my eyebrow at he, slightly puzzled. 'What?'
'You two! You looked so sweet playing together like that. There is no way you can doubt that the two of you are perfect for each other.'
I smiled, not saying anything as we walked into the dining room, wishing very much that Alice was right.
So let me know what you think :)
Also, i'll try not make the next post so long again, I hate waiting for stories so i'll try not to keep you waiting :)
