Edward and I took our seats at the back of the biology room so that we could have some privacy. He was still a bit shaken up about the whole scene with Mike, so I continued to draw small circles on the back of his hand with my thumb, trying to calm him.
"Where does he get off, thinking that he was your boyfriend?" Edward continued to grumble under his breath and I was pretty sure I heard a few curse words mixed in. I wasn't sure if I should tell him what had happened today in second period. I mean I didn't see it as a big deal but maybe Mike had gotten the wrong impression. Oh my, what if all of this was my fault! What if Edward was so angry because of me?
"Uh….Edward?" I dropped my eyes to look at the table. But he placed his finger under my chin raising my gaze.
"Yes, love." He asked so sweetly, and his hand moved to cup my cheek. Why did he have to make it so hard to think?
"I may know why Mike got that impression. You see today in class Mike asked me to be his partner on this in-class project, and I didn't think any of it at the time. Oh, Edward I am so sorry! I really didn't think anything by it; I mean it was just a worksheet and poster board." When I finished my spill about the Mike incident, I saw Edward trying to repress a smile and laugh. "What? Edward what is so amusing? I am the reason that you almost fought Mike Newton today." I was starting to get angry now.
"Bella, it is not your fault. I understand where he got the idea that you two were together, but he is an idiot. Don't worry Newton, will figure it out eventually that you are mine." He whispered the last in my ear, his cool breath sending chills through my body.
The rest of class and day went by quickly, until it was time to get home. Edward walked me to my car where we said our good-byes until tomorrow. It was so unfair that we couldn't hang out for a whole three weeks but we did manage to work out a way to see each other for at least this weekend. With a final kiss I turned and got into my old red truck. As I rounded the corner and Charlie's house came into view I noticed something different. There in the driveway sat two cars, one I knew to be Charlie's cruiser but the other one was not familiar. I pushed open the front door and called out for Charlie. I hoped something wasn't wrong, but I had never known Charlie to leave work early.
"Dad?"
"Oh Bella, good you are home. I want you to meet some old friends of mine. Bella this is Billy and Jacob, they live on the reservation in La Push. Jacob is around your age, you guys should hang out sometime." Said Charlie as he clapped a hand on both mine and Jacob's shoulders. I knew what he was up to; he was trying to set me up with Jacob when he knew full and well that I was with Edward.
"That would be fun but to bad I am grounded for the next three weeks." I said crossing my arms across my chest and put on the best ice queen attitude I could towards Charlie.
"Actually I was going to tell you tonight, I am lifting the sentence. I mean it was all a misunderstanding, right?" Charlie adds a little chuckle on the end of it, making it seem like I was blowing it all out of proportion.
"Really?" I asked in an elated innocent tone, and Charlie nodded so I decided to go in for the kill. "Then I can go with my boyfriend Edward to the fall festival next weekend. Thanks Charlie." I placed a quick kiss on his cheek and turned to leave. "Oh, and it was such a pleasure to meet both of you." I hurried upstairs before Charlie could say anything else and as soon as my door shut I grabbed the phone and dialed Edward's number.
"Bella? How did you get a hold of the phone?" Edward asked laughing at the same time.
"Well Charlie just lifted my sentence. Apparently it was all a misunderstanding."
"And why would Chief Swan do something like that?" I was hoping that he would find this as funny as I did.
"Cause he wanted me to go on a date with this family friend, so he lifted the sentence."
"HE TRIED TO DO WHAT?" Edward yelled into the phone.
"Edward, calm down! I said no, don't worry. And I clearly stated that I have a wonderful and handsome and apparently sometimes very jealous boyfriend." I heard Edward sigh and I knew that he was calming back down.
"That's good to hear. Well I have to go Carlisle should be home soon and since you are free I don't want to be locked up for the rest of my life. Bye Bella, love you."
"I love you too Edward." With that I shut the phone and turned to see a very tall boy standing in my doorway.
"I guess you weren't joking about the whole boyfriend thing." Said Jacob.
