A/N: So, Bree and I have been switching on and off for the past chapters so… I wrote the first one, Bree the second, Kimi third, and now Bree the fourth. It'll keep going like this. I REALLY hope you like our story, we're kind of worried it's not going to be as good as the others. Keep giving us reviews.
CHAPTER 4
"Ha-how do you know him?" I was going completely incoherent.
"We're old friends Bella. Don't be frightened. I'm good i promise you that. I won't let anything hurt you." He smiled at me.
He was so clueless about everything between Edward and I. Edward had promised me that same thing plenty of times, but yet he always left me alone to fend for myself, even though he promised he would stay by me and never let anything happened. But Bret seemed so sincere, so loving, so caring, like he would truly never let anything happen to me. This was something new to me. I never thought I could love anyone else. I thought Edward would always be my one and only love.
"Bella, your very funny you know that?" He laughed. His laugh was perfect, it reminded me of running on the beach to a open plain filled with ruffled tulips.
"How, I really haven't tripped or anything? How am I being funny?" I put a very firm, but playful pout on my face. He stared at me for a while, I sighed loudly, feeling like i was a sideshow for the circus the way he was staring at me.
"Sorry, don't be angry with me. The reason why I was laughing is because you make little faces when you're very deep in your thoughts." He honestly replied to me as he searched my face for yet another funny expression. I definitely felt the scorching heat rise to my cheeks. I looked down embarrassed well... by how easily I was embarrassed.
"Can we go now please? It's getting late" I asked politely but strained. Oh how I took so much after Edward. I've caught myself acting like him so much, that its brought me to tears. But I have a feeling Bret will change that.
"Okay Bella, whatever you want. Your wish is my command." He reassured and I smiled sheepishly at him softly and he winked at me.
"Waiter... Oh Waiter." Bret was waving his hands obnoxiously to try to make me laugh. He got what he wanted, I was laughing. He was in fact a very funny guy when it came down to it.
When the waiter finally turned around and saw Bret waving his arms like a crazy man he rolled his eyes and slowly trudged his way over to our table as if we were the devil himself and he was about to enter the living hell.
After my perilous fight of trying to pay for what I ate and lost sadly, Bret paid for my meal and we left the coffee house.
"Oh wow, how long were we in there?" I asked noticing how dark it was outside. I really lost myself in Bret and didn't even notice the time. Charlie would be home now probably wondering where I am since I didn't leave a note or anything. "Shoot!" I muttered to myself.
"Bret, I'm really sorry but I have to get back to my house." I looked at him hoping that he wouldn't be upset with me but he just smiled at me and grabbed my hand. My face flushed yet again, like deja vu. I hope he couldn't see it in the dark, or tell how much I enjoyed the feel of his hand.
"I'll at least be a gentleman and walk you back to your car, dearest Bella" His eyes seemed to light up when he said my name. It was like I was some angel that fell from heaven and magically appeared right in front of him when he needed a miracle the most. It was thrilling but sent chills running up and down my spine… a feeling only Edward could give me.
The walk to my car was slow, but very romantic. His cold hand holding my warm hand gave me a feeling of glee, I definitely was feeling giddy and almost high but not the kind of high you get from overdosing on drugs but rather a happy high made from one's inner feelings. I was very hesitant to get into my truck, only because I was afraid that he would disappear just like Edward had and has ever since I met him but he stayed by my side till I got myself in the truck. He shut my door and stepped back so I could drive home. There was no way I wanted to leave his pretty face.
"Will I see you again…?" I gulped and sighed as I looked longingly at his perfect face which almost glimmered in the moonlight. My quivering fingers delicately lay sprawled across the surface of my steering wheel.
"Of course Bella, dearest. May I inquire where you live so I might just happen to take a stroll by your house?" He replied quickly with the slip of his tongue, as if he couldn't be any more eager.
"It's the cops house, two streets away from here. There's no way you could miss it. Plus, you know my name, there's TONS of phonebooks lying around. I'll see you around then… I guess." I replied coyly and waved a slow, sad goodbye as I drove off into the nearby darkness. I was in a daze by the time that I got back to the house. Charlie seemed to notice it too, and he flooded me with questions, as per usual.
