CHAPTER 7 - The phone call.

BPOV

It had been 2 days, since I last saw and spoke to Kate, and 1 whole day since I last saw Mr. Hot guy. I practically ran into Emmett's office, after doing the weights yesterday. I do not know why... maybe because I was just mortified.

After Emmett had explained how I did for the day, I made a run for my car. I do not have any idea how to explain it, but I felt that if I stayed in the same area as him, I would've probably done something stupid. And anyways I needed to head into work...

I was getting ready to go to the gym, and had yet to call my parents. I had to do it today, after working out and work, that is.

My body was already sore from the yesterday's workout. But I was content. I was on the road to change.

I was excited to go to the gym today, albeit for a different reason... I needed to stop, but deep down I knew I couldn't .

Ever since last night, when I was thinking about the guy with the beautiful green eyes, I realized, I may not need to meet him, but I can definitely dream about him. Maybe this was to pacify myself, or maybe I didn't find it in me to care anymore.

I cannot get involved with him. That is certain. But I can enjoy the dreams while they last. For all I know, he will turn out to be another Riley, and my dreams will morph into nightmares.

So I'd rather just stick to admiring him from afar.

I had my hair done up in a bun, wore a new pair of sweatpants and a fresh T-shirt. I carried my packed duffel bag, and now I was on my way to the gym.

I reached the gym and headed immediately into Emmett's office. He had told me yesterday to just let Caius sleep next time, and provided me with an access card.

I moved pretty fast as I did not want to glance at Mr. Hot guy. I think If I did, I would spontaneously combust.

Emmett was already seated in his office and looked a bit startled and I realized - "oh my gosh Emmett, I'm so sorry, I forgot to knock, I have been so lost these days... I'm sorry.."

"It's ok Bella, it happens... C'mon we will try some new equipment today. I want to see how you fair, and maybe tweak your regimen..."

"That's cool." I was nervous and excited. Emmett stood up and motioned for me to follow him. As soon as I exited, I scanned the room... Hot guy was not there.

I was extremely disappointed, and my face must've said it all, because Emmett asked, if something was wrong.

"Nothing, Emmett. All is fine. Thanks." He did not look convinced but at the same time did not push. I was grateful for that.

He made me try out some new equipment. I did surprisingly well. But the time at the gym just dragged on. That was not surprising.

I had no green-eyed man to glance at. At least I could dream about him, but it was nothing close to actually seeing him...

The rest of the day was like the morning, boring and rather eventful. Work was slow today, and my mind was divided between calling my parents and thinking about green-eyes.

I shot Rose a text, telling her I needed her here, if she was free, as I had finally decided to tell my parents.

Soon after, I heard a knock and opened the door to a very happy looking Rose, carrying quite a few (healthy type of) sandwiches. She knew as much as I did that, this was going to be a long night.

She had also started eating healthy, in solidarity with me. She claimed that she did not want to be eating junk, just because she worked hard and had late nights. She stated that she needed to care for herself as well. I agreed with her and was proud of her, along with being thankful for having someone to do this with.

She hugged me and we went to sit on the couch.

"Bella. You look amazing already, your skin is glowing babe... I'm jealous. Anyways you ready to call your parents..."

"You look amazing as well Rose. And hell yeah! I am ready to call my parents and get this over with... also Rose please refrain from cussing. I know this will be the first time you will be hearing the full story as well, so... Behave."

"What am I? Your pet??? Bella, of course I'll behave." She smirked at that. I already knew, it was pointless, and shook my head at her, I tried at least. "Soooooo... how are we doing this? Video call or a normal call?"

"I'm guessing I'll stick with a regular voice call, with a side of awkwardness. Honestly though, I cannot see my mom cry... then I'll cry and it will make things way worse for dad..."

"Ok cool... now stop procrastinating and call them woman." I had to laugh at Rose. I dialed my parents and put them on speaker and told them to do the same.

The call started at around 6 pm and continued until 10 pm. There were a lot of emotions. I told my parents and Rose everything, starting from the incident that took place in 6th grade.

Rose may have known about that before my parents. After all we were in the same school.

But as I expected, Rose started cursing like a sailor, the minute I started talking about Riley. I had to smile at Rose. I wouldn't change her... she was amazing and she was always there for me.

Although, my mother was less than pleased with the language, and told Rose so. I controlled my laughter at that, since Rose's expression looked like a petulant child being corrected.

My mother and father always treated Rose like their own. And I think, deep down Rose reveled in that fact.

As I had guessed mom cried, and made me switch to a video call, because she wanted to see with her own eyes that her daughter was ok. I did switch to video, and then I cried. Dad looked uncomfortable with the situation and was angry at Riley, all at once.

But the conversation was long. I explained everything and shared it all, or at least most of it. They were proud that I had handled it well, and praised Rose for being there and just being amazing, through it all as well.

Once the call was over, Rose decided to stay over and we talked for the rest of the night.

I told her about Emmett, and how he would be exactly her type, she did look interested, and that was good.

This helped me to steer away from the topic of green-eyes, who I barely managed to omit from the story. I had to tell her about him, soon.

We talked, watched a movie, and fell asleep on the couch.

Just as I was falling asleep, for a brief moment, I thought about green-eyes and how I would maybe get to see him tomorrow morning.

Bella told her parents! They were understanding... but scared for her, obviously. But it went well!

What do you think will happen next??? Will green-eyes be there at the gym?
