Chapter 22: Anthony, the spy and the ogre (I)

Slowly the fog of sleep dissolved, and she opened her eyes to find two turquoise orbs looking at her full of hope.

— Hello — whispered Edward, caressing Bella's face, who stood up away from his touch and answered:

— Hello.

"How should I behave?" Edward asked himself. He hadn't tried anything with a woman for 12 years.

After Anddie's death, he hadn't tried to rebuild his life, he had no reason to do so, he had become so engrossed in his work now he didn't know how to act, what to say or what to talk about. Would he and Bella have things in common?

He sighed in frustration

— I have things to do, it's Friday... — said Bella suddenly bringing him to reality.

— Yes, surely you have to get ready for a date — whispered Edward to himself and Bella pretended not to hear him since she thought her imagination might be playing a bad joke on her.

How could Edward be jealous of something he knew absolutely nothing about?

She ignored the thought before leaving the room. She had already met Jacob, and she had never liked to leave people in the lurch, so she would go on the date, even if she didn't feel like it.

— Why are you leaving so soon, Bella? — Anthony asked her again that morning, Bella smiled at him and stroked his rebellious hair.

— I have things to do honey — she answered quietly. Anthony crossed his arms and pouted his cheeks. Bella couldn't help hugging him and kissing his cheeks until she made him laugh.

— You're going out with that King Kong attempt? — Bella laughed at the nickname Anthony had given Jake. She walked up to her jealous little boy and bit his ribs saying:

— So, King Kong's attempt, huh? — Anthony tried to hold Bella's hands, but she tickled him and made him laugh out loud.

— I'm sorry, I'm sorry! — said Anthony but Bella hugged him, happy to see him laugh and filled his face with kisses. — Ugh! You drooled on me! — said Anthony laughing and hugging Bella who kissed him again and told him:

— You'll have to put up with my drooling forever — and she tickled him again. Anthony laughed even louder and then hugged her tightly saying:

— I will put up with you forever, mommy.

— I know baby, I know.

Anthony looked at his watch annoyingly and tried to concentrate on his task again. He hated thinking, or even imagining, Bella with his gym teacher. She couldn't go out with that King Kong attempt. He wanted to steal his mommy's attention and yet she was doing it.

Edward opened the door to his son's room, not knowing what he was doing, not when his son was also there, in that room where he had rarely entered. His son looked at him as if he were a thief or an intruder. He cleared his throat uncomfortably, and said:

— I'm going to the office; Sue will be back later. Can you stay alone for a while? — Anthony nodded, not very convinced, and put the books he had in his hands on the little table on his desk.

— I'm going to... do my homework.

Edward turned to leave but his son's voice stopped him.

— Bella's going out with my gym teacher today.

— Yes. I heard about that. How... how do you feel about it? — His son inflated his cheeks and crossed his arms mumbling:

— He looks like a King Kong attempt. He is... is... very annoying, a show-off who thinks he can steal my... — Anthony stopped abruptly and scratched his neck nervously. — I just don't like him.

Edward nodded and left his son's room, straight to work or at least to try, as his son's teacher had snuck in on his thoughts, without asking permission.

Edward turned in his chair and made Eleonora stop her work.

— Can I know what's wrong with you? You're starting to make me dizzy — she said as she placed her tablet on the desk. Edward sighed and angrily asked:

— What do we have for today?

— Not much in fact — she replied by taking her tablet again and opening the electronic calendar, she continued. — You need to check the new program Young Gi Woo sent you. Then, if there is time, I would like you to help me with the details of the Christmas dinner the company is offering and this year we have to invite the new Irish partner: Laurent Ó' Hanny.

— I don't have time for a dinner, Eleonora. Christmas is not celebrated in my house — said Edward turning back in his chair. Eleonora shrugged her shoulders and said:

— Laurent, his wife, and son are going back to Ireland after the holidays. They are very traditional people Edward and I should remind you that it would be a party for your partners, even Young Gi Woo will come from Japan. We are not going to celebrate anything; we are going to give an incentive to the important partners.

Edward rubbed his forehead with his hands and mumbled in annoyance:

— Sue will take care of the dinner. Hire someone to help her and to clean up. You know how to organize a party I shouldn't be telling you Eleonora — Eleonora smiled but Edward stood up from his chair. — Cancel today's appointments and take care of the rest yourself.

— What will you do? — Eleonora asked with a scowl. Edward smiled and remembered how Bella had slept next to him that night full of sadness.

— Something stupid — he said before taking his jacket and the keys to his car to go out to look for his son because he had to stop Bella, that beautiful and sad woman, from going out with the King Kong attempt that his son hated.

Yes, that was the reason to stop that date.

Edward arrived at his home as if hell was chasing him. He went to his office, left his briefcase haphazardly and began to walk around frantically. How could he stop that damned date? He couldn't allow Bella to go out with that muscled man, he was probably on steroids to get that size, it wasn't natural.

No matter how much his head was spinning, he couldn't think of anything. Anthony knew Bella better than he did, she was his teacher after all. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks and called himself stupid.

How could he not have thought of talking to his son before? He could try to make up an excuse to stop that date.

He rushed out of the office looking for Anthony.

— How do you stop a date? — Edward asked his son, who looked at him. His father was standing in his bedroom doorway. Anthony smiled openly and closed his arithmetic book saying:

— Technically we don't have to stop it, we can just be observers, observers who will stop King Kong attempt from kissing the girl.

Edward smiled and said:

— You have a plan.

Anthony went to his closet and pulled out a brand-new backpack.

— What are we supposed to do with that? — asked Edward, not quite convinced. Anthony smiled and opened the rucksack revealing its contents. There were two walkie-talkies, a cap, a string, and many jars of different sizes and colors.

— Where did you... Who gave you that? — asked Edward in shock. Anthony sighed and blushed, then muttered:

— Aunt Alice. It was her present for my ninth birthday.

— You've had it for three years — Edward said impressed. Anthony shrugged his shoulders and put everything back in his pack, saying calmly:

— I hadn't had a chance to use them.

Edward cleared his throat uncomfortably and then said:

— Good. Now, where are we going? — Anthony smiled and asked:

— Do you know Dodger Stadium?

— Y…Yes — answered Edward in confusion. Anthony put on his backpack and walked past his father saying:

— Good. Because that's where we're going.

Bella looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She had no idea why she was doing this. She looked at herself again and examined her clothes. A tight pair of jeans, sneakers, a white T-shirt, and her favorite jacket where of course she could hide her hands from any crazy attempts by Jake. The doorbell of his apartment rang. Bella sighed and said to herself for the fifth time that day:

— I can do this.

— Hey Bella — Jacob waved at her wearing a white T-shirt, with "Dodgers" written in blue, in the center of the T-shirt. He also wore a pair of tight jeans, sports shoes, and a blue cap with the Dodgers LA logo on it.

Bella smiled with her best smile or, at least, that's what she thought, and said:

— I'm just going to get my purse, wait for me here, okay?

Jake nodded and grimaced since Bella didn't invite him in, but he was going to go out with her and that was all that mattered.

Maybe, soon, he could see her apartment and other things about that beautiful and mysterious woman.

Bella took her purse and her gaze turned to her kitchen table where she and Edward had had a cup of coffee. An involuntary smile lit up her face, then the doubts made her return to reality.

What was she thinking? She scolded herself.

Edward still loved his wife Anddie. She had seen him cry for that beautiful, amazing woman who had been dead for 12 years. How could she compete with something like that?

She squeezed her purse and turned towards the door. She had to get Edward out of her head and Jacob could be of some use.

Yes, surely Jake would be of use, she repeated to herself.

— The Dodgers are the successors to a team formed in Brooklyn, New York, in the nineteenth century... — Jake continued to talk animatedly while Bella looked at the huge empty stadium, they were in. Jake had refused to go to the Hammer Museum arguing that the two of them were going to have fun in that stadium, the only detail being that Bella was waiting for the fun to begin.

— Ogre. King Kong and the princess just walked in on your left. Over — Edward frowned at the device in his hands and wondered if his son had really just called him an ogre. — Ogre. Are you there? Over.

Edward scolded himself mentally for what he was going to do and responded.

— Ogre here, I just saw the target. Over.

Anthony smiled and took the wave that his Uncle Emmett had given him for his last birthday.

This was going to be fun for sure.

— Well, let's get "Mission Anti-King Kong'' started. Over.

— Bella — Bella woke up from her thoughts and looked at Jake, who smiled at her and said:

— You're not listening to me, are you? — Bella blushed sorrowfully and responded by looking around:

— Well, it's hard not to be distracted by all this. I'm sorry, Jake.

— Don't worry, I know this can get boring for people who don't enjoy baseball as I do.

Bella smiled uncomfortably.

— Well, you said something about making a couple of pitches. Shall we?

Jake smiled openly and took Bella's hand, pulling it to run but something sticky hit Jacob's hand forcing him to let go.

— What the…?

Bella wanted to laugh but didn't. She bit the inside of her cheek and asked:

— Is something wrong? — Jacob denied in a daze and answered:

— It was just a damn bird that...

— Don't damn the birds, Jacob — said Bella seriously. Jake sighed in annoyance and pulled out a Dodger handkerchief, then Bella had to bite the inside of her cheek again.

God, how could anyone admire a baseball team so much? At that moment a worse thought crossed his mind. What if his underwear was from the Dodgers?

Ugh, no. Don't go there.

— Did you say anything? — Jacob asked, looking at her carefully. Bella quickly denied and cleared her throat, walking slowly towards the dark corridor that the players went through in every game. She tightened her jacket and stopped. It was dark, very, very dark.

— Hey, Bella, let's go — Jake called her from somewhere. Bella almost pouted and was even sure she heard a wolf howling in the dark.

— You don't think it's too dark? — she asked, scared. Jake laughed at her from somewhere in the tunnel and said:

— You're not scared, are you?

Bella denied as if Jake could see her and stepped into the dark tunnel.

— Ok. This isn't proving too difficult. Yes, I can do it, yes, I can...

A chill ran through her and she felt someone following her. She turned and tried to see in the darkness of the tunnel.

— Jake this is not funny at all — said Bella, but Jake's footsteps were no longer heard. — Jake? — she called him again. Someone or something passed by her and Bella jumped up and stopped it.

— Careful — said a voice that she instantly recognized as the voice of her dream.

— This isn't happening — said Bella in a whisper.

— Someone wants to kill you.

Okay, Bella wasn't having fun with Jacob, but I was hahaha. This is a funny chapter, wait for part 2!
