Bella was tired of the attention.
It seemed like all the boys she had talked to since she came to live in Forks wanted to go to that stupid dance with her. Didn't they understand what it meant that the girls had to ask the boys? If she didn't ask anyone, couldn't they get the hint?
They all saw her walk and trip all the time, how could they even think she'd be able to dance?
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the dance at all? I could pick you up and take you to dinner before hand..." Mike told her after she had refused twice.
"I can't Mike... I...I'm already busy that day... I've got an important visitor..." She invented, wishing it was the truth.
"Really? Who?" Mike asked. He sounded doubtful.
"My boyfriend." Bella replied with a smile before she went to her car. So what if she lied? She did wish Klaus would be back by then... She did miss him and wanted to spend more time with him...
She really wished Klaus was in town, it would make things so much simpler for her if she could ask him to compel Mike, Eric and Tyler to forget about her… Then she'd be free to go for a nice walk with him… they would talk and he would draw while she reads… Things would be like they had been during the summer…
The weirdest thing was that Edward Cullen started talking to her again, wanting to be friend with her... Of course he didn't explain what was wrong with him or how he could have saved her life, moving so fast, lifting a car off of her… He still denied her the explanations he had promised…
Why couldn't people be honest and keep their promises? Maybe Klaus did spoil her when he told her everything after all… Was honesty overrated?
Bella decided to accept Edward's friendship, thinking it was better than nothing and that she would be able to get her answers later on. When he asked her to go spend the day of the dance together, she refused, telling him the same things she told everyone else: she had an important visitor. Also when Edward asked her who that visitor was, she didn't reply and found the excuse that she was going to be late for class to avoid answering him.
She had been disappointed when he told her he wouldn't be able to go to La Push with her and her friends but she felt immediately better when, later that night, Klaus told her he had found the answers he wanted and that he would be coming to see her the next day.
Such a nice week-end in perspective…
Saturday at the beach with her friends and Sunday she could finally see Klaus again and introduce him to her father… She really hoped he would be able to stay in town for a while… She had missed him a lot… Then she would be able to introduce him to all her friends…
She wondered briefly if seeing Klaus and Edward side by side would help her sorting her feelings…
"Are you really going to come then?" She asked him excitedly.
"Yes, I am! Mickeal has been desiccated for the past decade in an old cemetery in Charlotte and while I don't know how long it's going to last, it's safe enough that I can come and finally spend some time with you again!" he replied.
"What about your brother? Did you make peace with him?" She asked curiously, knowing that deep down he missed his siblings.
"No, not yet… He went back to New Orleans… I'll see if we can make peace later…" Klaus said.
"I can't wait to see you! Charlie wants to meet you too!"
"I'll arrive Saturday evening I think… If it's not too late I'll come by and see you right away!" he promised.
"I can't wait!"
"Neither can I! I really miss you Bella!" He said before they said their goodbye's and hung up.
.
Saturday, after a couple of hours in La Push, Bella got introduced to Jacob Black (an kid she used to play with when she was a child apparently...) and realised his friends didn't like the Cullen's… Getting him to tell her the secret legends of his tribe was surprisingly easy and if she felt guilty, she told herself that she would always be able to ask Klaus to compel him to forget about his obvious attraction to her…
Cold ones…
Vampires…
Klaus did tell her that there were several sorts of vampires…different races all created at different time by different witches…
Could Edward be a vampire?
Could she really be that much of a supernatural magnet that she managed to fall for two vampires of different races?
Her head was in overdrive with thoughts and she didn't know what to think… Obviously Edward didn't trust her enough to tell her the truth…
Klaus did…
.
Edward was nervous.
He had tried very hard to ignore Bella Swan but she was too intriguing to ignore… Not only did she smell wonderful but her mind was silent (bringing him some peace) and she truly seemed like a good person…Selfless… She also was a danger magnet who needed someone to protect her and he really wanted to be that person…
Plus, who didn't like a good mystery right? And Isabelle Swan was definitely the biggest mystery he had ever been to face with!
Plus, Alice said she was made to become a vampire and that they would be best friends some day... She had seen it!
Being away from her the whole weekend was going to be hard but he didn't have a choice… The sun was keeping him away from her…
Alice made things worst when she told him that the sun would keep him home until Tuesday…
Well, he could always spy on her until then…
She didn't need to know that he was watching her sleep every night… He liked it when she spoke but also it made him jealous that she spoke so often of this Klaus…
Who was he?
Obviously he was more than a friend to her...the way she spoke his name in her dreams… but she also spoke his a couple of times…
A couple of times…
She called this Klaus several times a night and all he got was a couple of times in total…
He had seen, in her bedroom, a couple of drawings that had apparently been made for her by this Klaus… His biggest rival was an artist apparently… very romantic!
But then, Edward decided to relax… he was a very handsome vampire… Who could compete with that? He was sure he would end up getting his girl… if she didn't love him yet she would end up loving him eventually and they would be happy together!
So, what did you think?
What will happen next?
The more you review the faster you'll find out!
Thanks for following me so much, I love all of you!
