I was sitting on my bed, my back against the head board, listening to 'Cherry Pie' by Warrant. An Old song, but I liked it, so sue me. It was about 3:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, I was alone because with my boyfriend being a blood sucking vampire, he needed to go off into the forest and suck blood of a deer or something of the sort, so that's why I was left, sitting here bored. I sighed, and stood up turning the music off and walked downstairs. I found Charlie in the living room watching some sporting game that I held no interest in. "Hey" I greeted,
"Oh, Hey Bella" He said, not looking away from the screen.
"Yeah, I was wondering if I could go to Seattle" I said,
"It's past your curfew" He said, finally looking away from the screen.
"I know, but If I get yours and my parole's permission I can go out" I explained.
"Okay, you haven't done anything for me not to trust you as of yet, so sure, go call your parole Officer" He said turning back to the screen,
"cool" I said and went back upstairs, I grabbed my phone and dialled.
"Hello, Nick speaking" Nick said when he picked up.
"Hey it's Bella Swan" I said,
"Sure, hey, What's up?" He asked obviously trying to be cool,
"I wanted permission to go out, I want to go shopping in Seattle," I said,
"Okay, you haven't broken parole as of yet, so I don't see a problem, I'll just put in the data base and you're good to go." He said, while I mentally snickered haven't broken parole, that youknow of.
"Great, cya" I said and flipped my phone shut.
I grabbed my bag and put the money Edward gave me in my wallet, I know, it's strange, he just gave me a heap of money, for no reason, I didn't see a reason to object. I changed from my baggy sweats into my favourite ripped jeans and a black tank top and put a pair of converse on that somehow appeared in my closet one afternoon, I blamed Alice. I picked up my bag after putting my shoes on and grabbed my keys off my bedside table. I went down stairs and popped my head into the living room, "Cya, be back whenever" I called,
"Have fun" He waved distractedly
I smirked at the apparent trust he had in me as I walked towards my truck, I got in and started it up and started the excruciatingly slow drive to Seattle. I soon I came into the city and was waiting impatiently at a traffic light I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel when finally it changed colour. I found a park and got out, after locking my sorry excuse for a car I started my way down the street.
I went into a few stores, more expensive stores that I was used to. I was flipping though a rack of shirts when a woman came up to me, "Do you need a hand?" She asked with false happiness,
"I'm fine, Actually" I said, not bothering to look up at her, I chose a top to try on and went into the dressing room, when I came out the woman was standing there,
"That looks great on you" She smiled,
"I know you get paid to say that so I'll buy the top even if it looks like shit" I said and laughed, and when back into the dressing room to change back, when I came out, the woman seemed to finally take in what I was wearing.
"I do believe there's a cheaper store down the street" She said with a slight glare,
"But I do like it here" I said mockingly in a British accent.
She sighed, "I don't think you'd be able to afford anything here" she said looking me up and down again.
"And I think you're incredibly rude, so let's call it even." I said and made my way to put the shirt back, I moved over to the jeans, I was looking through them when I saw a pair of designer ripped jeans, I immediately wanted them. I turned around to see the woman behind me, "You like to hover don't you?" I asked as I walked back to the change room, I tried them on and looked in the mirror behind the door; I quickly changed back and walked to the counter. The woman who seemed to enjoy following me around the store came to sell me the jeans. She smiled arrogantly, as she looked at the tag,
"That'll be $98.99" She said as she typed it into the cash register,
"Here" I said handing her a hundred dollar bill, "Keep the change, consider it a tip, for being oh so helpful" I said sarcastically, she frowned and quickly put my purchase in a bag, "Thank you" I said taking it from her.
I found a music store, I bought a few CD's, and I decided I liked having money. Smiling to myself I decided I'd treat myself to dinner. So I started to look for an acceptable restaurant I saw an Alley way, and being a reckless soul, thought I might see if I can get to the next block over. Carrying my few bags I walked confidently through the alley way. I heard a clatter of a can hitting the cement and looked behind me to see three men following me, obviously drunk. I sighed and continued to walk. Then as I rounded a corner I saw another two men, the called out to the men behind me. I looked down and tried to invade them, they didn't want any of that.
"Where do you think you're going?" One said grabbing my arm,
"Leave me alone" I mumbled, pulling my arm out of his grasp.
"I don't think so, sexy" Another one slurred, they made a circle around me, I decided to have some fun and made my face into a frightened mask.
"Please just leave me alone" I whimpered, they just laughed, one stepped closer and pulled me against him.
"Not happening honey" He mumbled and I struggled. "Feisty little thing" he laughed to his friend,
My frightened mask was gone as I laughed and smirked, he looked at me as if I were crazy "You have no idea" I said and kneed him in the groin, he groaned and hit the ground another came at me and I swung at his jaw and he hit the ground as well. Suddenly two arms were constraining me as another man came into my view. He roughly grabbed my face and moved it side to side.
"Where'd ya learn that? Huh? Self defence class?" He slurred,
"No" I growled, shaking my head free of his grimy grip, "My years in Prison" I said as I kicked backwards, getting him in the groin out of pure luck, he lost his grip on me so I spun to punch the other one holding me. The third guy punched me in the back and I fell to the ground, he was quick to flip me over and get on top of me. I reached up and punched him, and then I was on top. I punched him repeatedly before standing up. I was cracking my knuckles when the guy I kneed in the groin came from behind me grabbing me around the waist. "Just give up!" I yelled frustrated as I spun around and punched him in the gut he stepped back and I kicked him, my shin connecting nicely with his jaw. "Anyone else wanna go?" I asked them, once they regained their composer they got up and ran away, "That's what I thought!" I yelled after them. I dusted myself off before picking my bags up. I heard a car speeding down the alley way and I turned around to see a silver Volvo, out hopped Edward. He was next to me in a flash. "You're a bit late" I said,
He pulled me into a hug, "Thank god you're safe" he breathed,
"Why wouldn't I be? I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself, ya know" I mumbled,
He just chuckled, "Okay Bella, whatever you say"
I stepped back miffed, "Well since you're here you may as well take me to dinner" I said,
"I thought you didn't do dates" He said as he opened my door.
"I don't" I answered when he got in, "Let's think of it as retribution for not coming to my rescue" I said,
"Oh I'm terribly sorry" He said, in mock remorse.
"As you should be" I nodded, he pulled up outside an Italian restaurant, he came around and opened my door, offering me his hand, I rolled my eyes and got out and walked up to the front door. He opened it and we went inside. The hostess was waiting and looking hungrily at Edward, glaring at her I quickly took his hand, her smile instantly faded, I smiled triumphantly. I heard Edward chuckle,
"Table for two" He said handing over a few notes.
The lady took us to a booth at the back and we sat down. Soon a waitress came over,
"What would you like?" She asked, only looking at Edward,
"Bella?" Edward asked looking at me, I quickly glanced at the menu, picking the first thing I saw,
"Mushroom ravioli" I said, "And I coke" I added, before she could ask,
"And how about you?" She asked, looking at Edward after writing down my order,
"Nothing, thank you" He said only glancing at her, I smirked at her as she walked away. "You seem to have a slight problem when other women look at me" he said, amused.
"Oh shut up" I mumbled, the waitress came back with my drink,
"You sure there's not anything I can't get you" she said, flipping her fake blonde hair.
"No, thank you" he said,
"okay, let me know" she said, and walked away again.
"Bloody skank" I muttered, Edward chuckled
"Don't worry, I prefer brunettes," He reassured me,
"Oh, great. So I have to fight Jessica Stanley for you then?" I said as I sipped my coke.
"Oh, god no" He said, seemingly appalled, it was my turn to laugh.
"So how was your hunt?" I asked casually, he suddenly stiffed and looked down, "Okay, note to self: Don't ask about boyfriends eating habits', got it" I said,
"No, I just didn't want to frighten you" He explained.
"Frighten . . . . Me?" I said as I choked on my drink I coughed and had a mouth full of coke, "You think you could frighten me?" I laughed, "Don't think so" I smirked,
"Fine" he glared playfully, "It was great, a few bears, mountain lions" he said,
"So the usual then?" I asked, he just shrugged, "Sounds fun" I mused.
"You're strange" He smiled,
"I haven't even started" I winked.
XxXx Sunday XxXx
I walked into the Cullen mansion only to be tackled be a pixie, "Ow" I muttered as Alice hugged me.
"Are you okay? I had a vision that you got in a fight, I was so worried,"
"Help!" I screamed "I'm being attacked by a pixie!" I said, Alice just laughed,
"You're fine" she laughed and got off me.
"Thank you" I sighed standing up.
"Bella!" Emmett came into the hall to greet me "Heard you go into a fight" he jeered,
"Shush or you're next" I threatened playfully. He laughed,
"Bella" I heard Edward say as he came down the stairs, I smiled as he came over and kissed me lightly on the lips.
"Why hello there" I said wiggling my eyebrows suggestively. Edward chuckled,
"What do you want to do today?" He asked,
"Hmm" I hummed thoughtfully, "Video games?" I asked,
"Score!" Emmett said and pulled me away from Edward; I laughed and followed him to the living room.
2 and a half hours later
"I don't like playing with you" Emmett said,
"Why's that?" I asked as I killed him again,
"Because you keep killing me!" He complained loudly.
"What can I say? It's a natural talent" I smirked.
Okay! Thanks for reading, please review!
