"What'd you say?" Emmett asked from the door, "Did you at least apologize?"
"Kinda…"
"Kinda?"
Edward took a deep breath, "I didn't apologize for the dance."
"Why not? That phone call was the whole point, was it not?"
"It doesn't matter," Edward got up, he walked over to his closet and yanked a gray sweater from the hanger and pulled it over his chest, "I'm going over there."
"She just hung up on you, aren't you a bit worried what she'll do in person?"
"What could she do? Tell me never to see her again? I'll never listen. There's not much a human can do to me."
"She can tell you she hates you."
Edward froze in front of him, "It'll hurt, yeah I won't lie, but it won't stop me."
"Then go for it tough guy, try your best."
"I will." Edward threw done the sliver phone on his futon.
"Hey don't you need that?"
"If I give it to her now, I'll have no chance in talking to her again. If I keep that, there's a good chance I'll be seeing her again." He walked down the stairs.
"So your like," Emmett started as he walked down behind him, "holding it for ransom? If she talks to you, you'll give it to her?"
He grabbed his keys and opened the door, "Yeah pretty much."
"That's not creepy at all." Emmett said, sarcasm hanging off every word he spoke.
A smile crept over his, "No not at all."
"Wait." Alice called running into the room, "Here."
"Why do I need that?" Edward said looking at the coat in Alice's hand.
"Because it's gonna be sunny until you get to her house. I saw the clouds come in when you pull up."
"But I'll be in the car, these really no need."
"You never know, it's better to be prepared."
"If I take it can I leave?" He asked.
"Yes you may."
Edward grabbed the coat from her small hands, "I'll take it."
"Thank you." Alice smiled and waved.
He pressed the orange button on the wall. When his finger pressed the plastic button, the big garage door lifted. He walked over to his car and pressed the unlock button on the key chain. A small click sound beeped and he opened the door, he slid his legs into the car and shut the door. He put the sliver key into the hole and twisted it until the car was started. Just for kicks, he pressed his foot on the gas and brake until there was smoke behind the car. When there was he switched into reverse and sped out of the garage. When he was out of the house, he turned the wheel and quickly rotated the car until it pointed towards the highway. His foot pressed harder on the gas as the rocks sprung out from under his wheels as he drove.
The sun shinned brightly into the car, causing Edwards skin to sparkle on the leather seats. He grabbed the steering wheel tighter as he turned onto the highway. Cars zoomed past him. He bent down and grabbed his black sunglasses and slip them on his face. Finally he could relax from squinting trying to see the cars in front of him.
His mind raced as he thought about what he was going to do when he got there. He hadn't really thought of a plan, it was more of a spur of the moment kind of thing. He wanted to see her and he did what he wanted. No one could stop him, even if they tried there best, he was unstoppable. When he thought of something, he did it without questions asked. It was just what he did, he was a trouble maker. He looked in his rearview mirror, he could see gray clouds heading towards him.
He tapped on the steering wheel, drumming to the music that played in his car. When he saw the exit for her street, he switched on his turn signal. He waited until it was clear to switch lanes and when it was, he sped up and raced to the light. When it flashed green, he turned quickly. It was surprising that he never got a ticket before. The thought of that made him smile childishly. The street got dark as he drove up, the sun disappearing behind the clouds, leaving without a nice goodbye. It didn't even try to peak back out, it just stayed hidden.
He rolled down his window a bit and took a deep breath in. The smell of her house ran up his nose, the smell of her. It ran in his car, surrounding him as he drove up to it. He pulled up to the curb and turned his car off. He could hear her stereo playing in her room, he could hear her singing along with the song. Thunder rumbled above him as the clouds covered the sky, leaving a dark feeling outside. Edward put on his brave face and opened the door. He looked at her drive way, making sure Charlie was gone. The police car was missing, so Edward continued to make his way towards the home. There were small rocks besides Bella's old car. Edward grabbed a pebble and tossed it in his palm. He could ring the door bell or…
He threw the rock at her window, it tapped against the glass and fell back to the ground. There was nothing, so he tried again, and again. He heard Bella shut off her radio, so he threw another one.
Bella walked over to her window, confusingly she moved the curtain and looked down. Next to her car was Edward, staring up with a smile. Bella stepped back and let the material fall back over the window. She blinked quickly, her heart beat as her hands shook. There was another tap on the window. She walked back over and lifted it open, "What?!" She yelled.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"Why didn't you call, it was so fun hanging up."
Edward kicked a pebble, "I've noticed."
"So then why'd you come back?"
"Well I was going to give you your phone, but you said keep it."
Bella stared at him angrily, "Throw it up here."
"But you said to keep it."
"Edward!" She shook her head and hit the wood that held the window there, "Don't make me come down there!"
"I'd love it if you did."
"Urgh!" Bella grabbed the window and slammed it shut. A light brown sweater hung on her wall, she grabbed it and wrapped it around her and pounced down the stairs. She let out a breath and opened the door, "Give it to me."
"I don't have it." He walked over to the big tree in front of the house and leaned his back against it.
"Liar."
"Search me if you would like to."
Bella walked over to him, "Then why did you come?"
"I wanted to apologize, again. I wasn't thinking when I was talking to you," Bella turned around and started walking for the door, Edward ran and grabbed her wrist, spinning her to face him, "Listen to me."
"Why?!"
"I'm sorry and I'll say it as many times as you want me too. I don't know what I was thinking, I didn't want to hurt you."
"Well you did." She said through her tears, her hands brushed off the water from her face. She hadn't even realized she was crying until the tear dripped on her neck.
"I know and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm even sorry for dancing and I was when I was talking to you on the phone, I just wasn't thinking."
"Your not sorry, your lying!"
Edward pulled her body to him, his hand grabbed her face. He brought her lips to his, his other hand held her back to his chest. Her lips were so warm to his, he pressed harder as he kissed her. It was the best thing he had ever tasted. He turned her around and pushed her back against the oak tree.
A light grunt escaped her lips as her back hit the tree, but he kept kissing her. His hand held her face gently as his lips bruised against hers.
Bella pulled back and raised her hand. She slapped him, "Don't do that again." A rush of pain ran through her hand, "Oh my god are you made of stone?!"
"Bella, please…"
"Don't give me that."
"I need you."
"And I need to go shop for my father." She squeezed past him and walked up to her house.
Edward ran behind her, "Bella I wouldn't have done that, if I didn't still love you."
Bella stood by the door, frozen from his words. Quickly she realized she had been standing there and opened the door. She grabbed her keys from the table and walked back out, she locked the door and walked up to Edward, "Well that's too bad."
"What do you want me to do Bella?"
"Stop trying so hard."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because if you give me time, just maybe I'll forgive you." She stood up on her tip-toes and kissed him. Bella stepped back down, "But until then, leave me alone." She walked over to her car and climbed in, she turned it on and backed out, leaving Edward standing there alone.
He watched her leave, the heat from her skin still held it's place on his lips, "There's a maybe…"
-
Bella walked into the store, the warm heat hitting her body as she walked in. A greeter waved and smiled to her, Bella smiled back and kept walking. A big sign on the celling pointed to the back for sports. People wandered happily around the store, getting Christmas decorations and ornaments for their trees. Kids ran around with red nose from the cold, the hands holding candy as they yelled for their mothers. Bella smiled at them and wrapped her sweater around her body tighter. When she reached the sports section, she looked in the fishing part. She didn't really know what he wanted, but he did like fishing, so maybe a nice hat or something.
Bella looked around the section for a half an hour, still nothing for her father. She huffed and walked towards the jewelry department, maybe a nice watch. The memory of her father coming home, depressed because his watch had gotten lost, flew through her thoughts. She smiled when she reached the mens watches, this would be the best present.
There were gold watches and silver watches, she looked closely trying to find the best one and the cheapest. She bit her lip and bent down to see the ones in the back. There it was, the one she would get him. It was white with a black band. It was simple with no big jewels on it, something her father would like. She stood back up, "Excuse me?"
The lady walked over to her, "Can I help you with something?"
"Yeah, can I see this one?" Bella said pointing.
"Yes you can." The lady opened the glass case and pulled out the watch. She handed it to Bella, "For your dad?"
"Yeah…I think this is the one."
"Are you sure?" The lady asked.
Bella looked again, she turned her head to see a boy her age looking at the watches too, "Um, can I ask you a question?"
He turned to face her, his blue eyes staring, "Yeah."
"Do you like this watch?"
"Yeah, it's nice. I wouldn't mind getting something like that for Christmas."
"Thank you." Bella smiled and turned to the lady. She handed her the watch, "I'll take it."
"Who's it for?" The guy asked.
"Oh, my father. His broke a while back."
"Well it's a nice gift."
Bella looked at him. He was so handsome, very different from Edward. He also looked like someone worth getting to know. He had white teeth and a beautiful smile. Bella needed to get over Edward somehow. She needed to see if she really loved Edward or it was just a crush. If she turned out liking this guy, it was probably just a crush. But if she ended up just thinking about Edward twenty-four seven, it was mostly love and she wouldn't just let it go. It was like an experiment, she thought, "I'm Bella." She said extending her hand.
He shook it, "I'm Ryan."
