Chapter Three: Trials of the Day
AN:
I'm soooo sorry it took so long for me to get this out of my head and onto the computer! My apologies. Anyways this chapter is some hard core fluff so fasten your seatbelts…HAHAHAHA…well you'll get that later on in the chapter...ENJOY AND REVIEW! My goal is to get 60 before chapter 5...that's 12 a chapter… so HELP ME!
Disclaimer: Don't…but wish I owned Edward.
Things pretty much went like they always did. I left early in the morning for the doctors, telling Charlie I had a doctor's appointment. It wasn't a lie, because hey…I DO. Curiously though Edward was no where to be seen. Wow I hadn't expected to get off this easy. Just to be safe I checked in the back seat. It was empty. What was I thinking; I mean the man could run to the office before I could even get around to the trunk to check. Sighing I started the truck and pulled out. The test went the same to. Same perverted looks from all the male nurses, same horrible rip-off –your-skin feeling of the machine. They let me go an hour after I got there, saying they would have my results in a day or two. I nodded quickly and got dressed again. I FELT SOOO DIRTY! I hate the feeling of metal on my skin! Ugh…creeps me out! Throwing my purse in the back I got in and sped my way home to the shower.
Sped being the important word because….
I got a speeding ticket….. I mean who would have guessed that I could get a ticket IN MY TRUCK. I was humiliated and extremely annoyed. The officer told me that I would have to stay off the roads until he got the report in later that day, and to go to the closest house were someone would drive me home. I told him I knew some people down the road, and he insisted on following me their. IT WAS ONE SPEEDING TICKET! However I wasn't about to argue with a police officer, but mark my words Charlie would hear about this later. Well not about me speeding, but about him being rude and suspicious! I got in the truck and drove to the Cullen's which was far closer than my house. The entire family was outside when I got there. Alice smirking, Edward grimacing, and the rest trying to decide whether to be concerned, or die laughing. Edward walked over to my side of the car (human pace) and opened the door, scowling. I, with an equally sour look on my face got out, nodded to the officer, and went inside.
"I hope you'll understand the next time you tell me not to come somewhere with you why I refuse to do so." He hissed in my ear as we opened the door and joined the rest of the family in the kitchen. I haven't the faintest idea why they need a kitchen, but they have one. A dinning room too. Alice, Jasper, Emmet, Rosalie, and Esme were all sitting around the dark mahogany table when we approached. Esme rose and hugged me gracefully.
"Bella dear are you alright?" she asked compassionately. I nodded and she smiled, taking her seat again. The room fell into an awkward silence and finally Emmet's booming voice broke it.
"Ok well I'm just going to say it, since no one else will. What the hell was that! Why was a police man following you home? What trouble could YOU have possibly gotten into with the law?" I cast my eyes down and I heard Edward growl sternly. Looking up into his eyes, mine filling with tears I said the first thing I could think of.
"Can I go take a shower?" Though he faltered for a second in surprise he soon recovered and slowly nodded.
"Omm…sure, come on I'll get you a towel." He replied as he picked me up and "walked" up the stairs. He says walked. I say sprinted. Once in the upstairs hall he set me down and opened a closet getting me a towel, a bar of soap, and some fancy shampoo that Alice had. Then walking into his room he produced 2 pairs of jeans that were my size, and a black tank top. Clearly Alice had done some more shopping. I took the clothes and sat down on the bed exhausted. I felt his hands on my shoulders, pulling me back to lean on his body which was now positioned right behind me. I let out a frustrated sigh and closed my eyes as he proceeded to rub my back tenderly. I swear that guy has magic fingers. Every time he touches me whatever he wants just comes right out.
"I got a ticket…the cop made me go to the closest house I could, were someone would drive me home, and he FOLLOWED me there." His hands stopped moving instantly. Resting his forehead on the back of my head, he let out a soft chuckle. Soon they got louder, and before long he was rolling on the floor in hysterics. I grumbled angrily and got off the bed, heading for the bathroom. If he was going to be that way then I wouldn't talk to him. God it was no use, I could already fill my eyes filling up with tears. I tried to hide them by quickly undressing and getting into the warm water. Alice's shampoo was nice, a lot better then mine. I took not of the brand and began to wash the trails of the day off my skin. Relaxing, I let the water run over my back. The bar of soap slipped from my grasp, and I guess I thought it landed somewhere else because…
I slipped.
I felt my center of gravity shift, and the ground slip out from under me. I could only imagine what a hideous crash it must have made. Loud enough obviously, because I could hear the door bursting open, and Edwards voice saying
"Bella are you ok?" Oh great…the day wasn't over yet….
AN: OK fluff will be next chappie I promise!
