Ch. 6 –Tea Pt. 1

I'm absolutely livid! This afternoon I invited Bella over for tea after which we would take a stroll through the park. I was so looking forward to spending time with Bella especially after what happened last night before she went inside, but now nothing can make me feel better. After I arrived at the door step to make my invitation Mr. Swan suggested I invite their house guest Mr. Jacob Black.

Normally this wouldn't bother me but what Mr. Swan said after that did not make me eager to bring him along.

"I have a feeling the two will be engaged within the next month." Bella's father says smiling off into the distance. He pauses for a moment before looking at me and continuing. "Wouldn't that just be lovely?"

I squirm in my skin. "Erm… uh… I suppose." Trying hard to regain my composure I continue. "Well Mr. Swan I will be back around two this afternoon, thank you again." With that I shake his hand and quickly depart.

Mr. Swan has invited Mr. Black with hopes of marring off his daughter. I suppose that I haven't shown enough interest for his liking, though I'm sure that obliviousness must run in the family. Bella couldn't see my feelings for her just as her father can't see how much in love I am with his daughter.

I haven't met this Mr. Black, but I'm sure he is of the unruly sort. I am not wrong in my assumptions either because my first impression of him isn't kind either. Hours pass and I'm standing on Bella's door step yet again as she exits she jumps in my arms and hugs me tightly.

"Oh, Edward thank you for inviting us for tea, it's so very lovely of you and your family." She says as she pecks my cheek.

I smile. "It's my pleasure Bella." I turn to the man behind her in extreme effort to be gentlemanly, offering my hand and nodding in his direction. "Mr. Black I presume, very nice to meet you." He does not return my greeting only nods at me with tight eyes. I take my hand back relieved that I required to be cordial because of his outwardly rudeness. What have I done to him? It is he who is looking to capture the love of my Bella.

"We best be off," Bella said noticing the tension as Jacob Black and I glare at one another.

"Yes," both Mr. Black and I say in unison only to lengthen our glare. I offer my arm to Bella only to notice Jacob doing the same still glaring in my direction as Bella takes his arm she looks at me with apologetic eyes.

I sigh in frustration. What have I done to deserve this? I think as I walk towards my home followed by Bella and Jacob. This should be interesting.

Oy! I know right? It has defiantly been a while. I don't exactly know where this story is going, but I know what the plot is (kind of) and when it's going to happen (if that makes any sense at all). I hate having cliff hangers but I wanted you to have an update no matter how short. Sorry bout that. I'll try and update soon.

It has been difficult to write lately mostly because I've been busy with cheer, applying to universities, and doing the explosive load of homework I get every night (not to mention that semester finals. Can you say stressful)! So, sadly reading and writing for fun have taken the back burner to all of that. I'm so glad that you are eager to know what is next, as am I, and that you look forward to my new chapters. I will try to update A.Q.A.P. (as quick at possible) whenever possible. :-D

Thanks for the understanding,
