Chapter 10: Edward finds out.

Bella's POV…. the next morning.

The phone rang just as I kiss dad on the cheek good morning and served him breakfast. He looked up as I moved to the phone and picked it up.

''Hello? ''I greeted, but I didn't have to ask who it was, I knew his voice it, was forever etched in my mind.

''Hey cutie, remember me? ''

Remember you? No, you're just the only thing I thought about ever since I woke up this morning.

''Of course, how are you? ''

''Good, I'm hanging out here in this boring house thinking of you. '' He said in a low sexy voice that gave me the shivers.

''Um…I was kind of thinking of you too and eating breakfast with dad. ''I added to thwart it anymore further sexy talk.

''Yeah, Mia Cara?'' he purred.

''Um…hum.'' I say simply, trying to avoid Charlie's gaze and started to fidget with a notepad.

''Very good, ''he said slowly sounding pleased. ''I was wondering if you'd like to get together Tonight. It will be my turn to watch you so, I'd like to take you out. What about dinner and a movie?''

''Sure, sounds good Caius. 'I say, trying to sound nonchalant as possible so dad would not ask too many questions. But I just knew he was going to ask some anyway. Dad's eyebrows went up as I said his name, damn I should have known better than that.

''Great little love see you then. ''He said smoothly, causing butterflies to play in my tummy.

''OK, um...Bye. '' I say no dad was eyeballing me now, waiting for an explanation.

''By love, ''he echoed.

I ducked my head and looked down and gasped at the heart I was drawing. I quickly crumpled it up and threw it out. I hung up the phone and took my place at the table. Dad took another bite of his eggs and pointed the fork at me.

''So, who is this guy and what kind of name is Caius. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for you dating other guys. This Edward is too possessive. ''

''Oh, he's just some guy from high school and he's a foreign exchange student staying at the Cullen's.'' I say quickly.

''Yeah? Caius, huh? Good, glad you're exploring your options. ''Dad nodded, satisfied.

''Yeah, but he's only a friend. ''I say, snorting to myself. Who was I kidding?

''That's great too, friends first. I want to meet your buddy as soon as possible. ''

''Dad …come on. Give me some time to get to know him. ''I said as I put my dishes in the sink.

''OK, OK. I'll back off for now. ''He laughs as I snatched his plate away, just as he grabs his last piece of toast. ''But Bella, seriously I would like to meet him. ''

''Sure dad, soon. ''

''Alright, don't be late for school. ''He says on his way out the door.

I nodded, seeing Edward come upstairs behind him. Dad turned to see him too.

''Edward's here to take me to school, dad. Got to go! '' I announced before he can say anything about Caius.

I grabbed my bag and ducked under dad's arm and headed out to meet Edward. He looked at me funny because of my haste but he opened the car door for me, and I slid in and waited for him.

He got in beside me and leaned in for a kiss. A sudden pull and a pain in my chest cause me to shrink back from him.

''What's wrong Bella? ''He pulled back sounding irritated.

''Um, Nothing. I just feel tired that's all. ''I lied, unsure what to say.

''You know you've been acting strange ever since the night you were attacked.'' He said folding his arms, in a sulk.

''I guess so. Um…Edward, we need to talk. ''I say fishing my thoughts for how I was going to break it to him easy.

''What the hell, Bella! What's going on? ''My eyes went wide is at his unexpected anger. ''What? Do you want to fight now? ''

I shook my head at him, but he disregarded it and went on.

''I know you are distracted, and your kiss and hugs are not the same. Strained is more like it!'' He shouted.

I was glad dad pulled away. He would go nuts on Edward for this kind of argument. I decided I had to tell him now. I couldn't just date without Edward finding out. Surely, he would read Caius's mind.

''No, I don't want to fight, but I have to be honest with you. I'm going to dinner with Caius tonight when it's his turn to watch over me. ''I say as his eyes narrow in a growl escapes his clenched teeth.

''No Bella! Are you out of your damn mind? He's here to kill you! ''

''No, he will not kill me, Edward! ''

''Bella, how can you be sure. You can't trust that maniac. He's a killer. ''

I could not believe Edward that Caius would go on a date just to kill me, not when he made me feel so safe and at ease.

''So why agree to go dinner with him? ''Edward asked in the silence of my disbelief.

''He just wants to talk and get to know me. ''I say because I certainly couldn't tell him the truth.

This conversation did neither of us any good, and I until I figured out what had exactly happened to me and whether or not I had had any true feelings for Caius, I will keep the fact that I am is mate to myself. Besides, hurting Edward was not what I wanted.

''You're obviously not thinking clearly and you're not going to school, you're staying with me! ''

''Wait, what? Did you just order me to do not go to school? You can't do that! ''I shouted him as I reach for the handle to get out.

''No Bella, I will not let you! He's got something planned. I know it. He and Aro always wanted Alice I did join the Volturi. If you go alone with him, he will kidnap you to then blackmail me. ''He said grabbing me back to sit me down again.

He locked the doors and I swore as he buckled me back in. He did it again, just like the time I wanted to go to Jake.

''You're mine and I will not let that son of a bitch step in and mess with your mind. ''

With that he pulled me into an embrace and kiss me hard. I struggled against him, but it was no use. His tongue force way into my mouth and I gave in to his strength. I went limp and he pulled back to look down at me. I put hand to his chest and looked up at him.

''Edward, please. ''

''You belong with me, ''he replied, his voice husky with emotion.

I sat up and moved away and he grinned. ''I think I might be ready to make love to you. How about you? ''

I ignored his question. ''Look, this is crazy. You can't just keep on doing this and control me.'

His eyes hardening. ''You don't understand, do you? If you see him, he will hurt you I know him.''

I didn't want to listen anymore. ''I want to get out! Let me go! ''

The car came to a screeching halt. I unbuckled and opened the door to leave. Holding my breath, I decided to go for it. As I moved to get out, however, he grabbed my arm had me in his arms before I had a chance to exhale.

'' I need you Bella, ''He said, looking desperate. ''Don't do this. ''

''If we were meant to be then we will be. But you have to trust me, and if not well, then that's the way it's supposed to be. ''I say with a sigh.

He let me go and I set up. He grabbed the wheel and punched the dash, putting a hole in it.

''Fine Bella, but you're playing with death! I'm taking you to school.'' He growled out and sped off again. ''
