I just realized that it's almost been a month since I last updated, so I decided that I would update. Enjoy!
EPOV
I called Emmett and Jasper, since I was sure that Bella would have called Alice already. Alice had told me that she was still the same when we were in high school, so if she's telling the truth, might have already told Rose.
Em and Jasper said that they were happy that we're finally talking to each other again. That's basically all that they said.
Awhile after the phone rang again. I got up and saw that it was an unknown number.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Um, hi, Edward?" the voice on the other end said. I smiled and my heart beat picked up. It was Bella.
"Hey Bella," I said calmly into the phone. In my head, I was cheering because she actually called me.
"So, what's new?" she asked awkwardly.
"Nothing, just bored… you?"
"Nothing, but this sounds like one of those MSN conversations that go nowhere," she said. I smiled. Just like in high school.
We started talking about anything and everything. We talked about how she got noticed by her agent, to what she was going to eat for dinner. Which we both had no idea on what to make.
"Hey Edward," she said.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think that this movie that we're filming sounds a lot like what happened to us in high school?"
"Actually, that's what I was thinking before," I said into the phone.
"Edward," she said.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to hang out sometime?"
"As friends?" I really wanted to be her friend again. I miss her, and being her friend is better than nothing.
"Yeah, as friends," she said. I smiled.
"OK, where do you want to meet up?"
"Um, that's a good question; do you have an idea on where you would like to meet up?" I told her a place and to bring sunglasses and so sort of hat so no one would recognizes us. It was much harder going out in public now.
We met up at a local park. No one was there. We were lucky. I saw her on the swings and I smiled. I walked up and I sat on the swing beside her.
"I remember you used to love swinging," I said.
"Yeah, and I remember Emmett pushed you off it once and ate it," She said with a smirk on her face. I rolled my eyes and remembered what she was talking about.
~ Flashback! ~
Everyone was at the park, just having fun. Bella and I were on the swings; Emmett was playing chicken, or whatever you want to call it; Rosalie was laughing at Emmett went ever he got hit by Bella or I and Jasper and Alice were sitting on top of one of the slides, looking at each other lovingly. They were the only ones together at that time. I knew that Emmett and Rose liked each other. They knew that I liked Bella then, but I hadn't fallen in love with her. Emmett decided to cross between Bella and I. He went passed Bella without getting hit, then he was walking passed me. I was going to hit him, but I couldn't stop.
"Em! Move!" I shouted. He didn't move fast enough and I collided with him.
"Edward! Why the hell did you hit me?!"
"I didn't! You didn't move fast enough!" He got mad at me and pushed me really hard. I didn't get a good enough grip on the chains on the swing, so I flew off and face planted right next to Rose. Everyone was now laughing and my face now hurt like a bitch.
~ End Flashback ~
I shuddered at the memory, and Bella laughed. I still loved her laugh, it sounded like bells.
"That was hilarious!"
"Yeah, if you weren't the person he pushed off the swing; that really hurt!" We were acting like best friends again. We started talking some more and we began laughing. I really missed her laugh. I would hear it in movies, but it's not the same.
"I really missed you Edward," Bella said suddenly. It's like she read my mind.
"I missed you too," I said.
"Alice called me pathetic because I would watch movies that you were in because I missed you. She said that I could just call you," she said. I saw the blush that she always wore in high school. I remember that Jasper and Emmett had said that same thing to me because I was doing the exact same thing.
"I did that too."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I think that our friends think the same. Em and Jazz said the same thing to me too."
She smiled and chuckled a bit. She looked at her watch and got up. "I have to go, I have to make dinner."
"You can come over to my place if you want?" I said quickly. I didn't want her to leave yet. "Or do you still cook for Charlie?" I asked.
"No, Sue cooks for him. He remarried," she said.
"I thought that Sue was already married? To Harry Clearwater?"
"Harry died of a heart attack. We were all really upset about that, but we're all doing better now. Leah and I actually get along, and Seth and I always got along."
"Oh," I said. I didn't know that Harry died. I only met him a couple of times, but that's when we were calling on Seth to see if he wanted to hang out. I didn't really know him, but it's still sad hearing that it happened.
"So are you sure? I don't want to be a burden," she said changing the subject.
"Bella, I invited you over; you're not going to be a burden. I'm alone most of the time, so having someone over would be nice."
"OK." I got up off the swing and we started walking over to my house. I live close to the park. I'm actually surprised that no one has found that out yet. We arrived and I pulled the key out of my pocket. I opened the door and we both stepped in.
"Wow," Bella said.
"What?"
"You still play piano?" she said looking at the baby grand piano in one of the corners of my living room.
"Yeah, I don't play it as often as I did in high school; I lost almost all inspiration when you left."
"I'm sorry."
"Bella, its fine. It's in the past, and we can't change it now," I said.
"So what are you making?" she asked.
"What would you like to eat?"
"How about… spaghetti?"
"Perfect," I said and walked to the kitchen. She followed me and stopped at the entrance. "Are you OK?" I asked. She nodded her head. I then remembered that one of her favourite rooms in a house was the kitchen. She must like all the appliances that my kitchen contained. You would have to thank Esme for that. Everything was stainless steel and professional.
"This is like, heaven to me."
"I remember you loved cooking."
"I still do. Speaking of, do you need any help with anything?"
"No, all I have to do is cook the noodles and reheat the sauce that Esme and I made."
"Hey, do you have any croissants?" she asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Can I make those?"
"Bella, I asked if you wanted to stay for dinner. I'm not going to make my guest cook."
"You're not making me cook, I want to cook."
"Bella, no."
"Fine," she said sitting down on one of the chairs in the kitchen with her arm crossed. She looked so cute. I got the croissants and cooked them. The pasta was ready and the sauce was reheated by the time they finished cooking. I got everything ready and placed them on the table.
"It looks great Edward," she said.
"Thanks, Esme taught me." We talked some more. I saw that Bella dips her croissants into the sauce and eats it. She says it's just like dipping bread into it. She's weird but I love her for it. It got late so I dropped her off at her place since she didn't take a car to the park. For some reason, she took a bus.
I dropped her off and then went home. I went to bed with a smile on my face.
