Chapter 15 EPOV

Tanya…

Why didn't Alice tell me Tanya was here?

Why was Tanya here?

It was so confusing; I honestly didn't think I could take much more before I passed out with exhaustion...

I really do hate my sister sometimes.

I swear sometimes she only uses me as a taxi service for her pathetic sleepovers.

I pondered yet again the mystery of Bella as I drove to her house to pick her up for the pixie.

What was so special about Bella?

Why was it that she seemed to be in her own world sometimes… like at lunch.

I felt myself having to gather my thoughts as my mind had decided to wander away from me; I had just imagined myself kissing Bella… The things my imagination came up with, It's crazy.

Sighing I pulled up at the front of the all too familiar house and got out of my 'shiny car' and went to the door.

I wasn't sure whether I should knock or wait outside so I just rang the doorbell and hoped it wouldn't be Bella's father to answer the door- We didn't exactly meet on the best terms.

Luck was with me-partly- as Bella herself opened the door and told me to wait, giving me an apparent glare.

I was kind of pissed really.

She threw my apology back in my face and it hurt for her to be so cold to me.

I didn't understand why… but I had to make her feel how I felt when she said that to me.

So I decided to be cold back to her.

"Hurry up Bella, we don't have all day- or should I say night" I shouted into her house, adding as much of my anger as possible.

It was partly true; Alice had already called me to have a go at me for taking so long.

It was only because I'd been at Jaspers place that she let me off.

Stupid Alice decided she had a crush on my so called best friend.

It was annoying seeing them doing there pathetic crushing.

But also quite hilarious.

God what was Bella doing.

Finally she emerged from the house, giving me a very hostile look and turning to lock the door.

This should be fun, I thought to myself.

I walked ahead of Bella to my car and very nearly found myself opening the car door for her- she was struggling with her stuff- but I restrained myself.

She almost seemed pleased that I hadn't shown any chivalry towards her and I couldn't help but wonder why she seemed so against me.

Sighing I walked around to the other side of my car and got in slowly, dreading the next few minutes alone with Bella.

After a few minutes of silence became too much I turned on a CD to try and sweeten the atmosphere.

I felt myself relax as the calming notes of Debussy washed over me and I relaxed further into the leather of my Volvo.

Bella decided in that moment to ruin the peace however.

"Hey… Uh, Edward, how do you know Tanya?" she asked, with a sheepish smile on her face.

Ah, two can play at that game, I thought to myself.

"Ex." I replied shortly, leaving out the complicated details that led to my other encounters.

"Oh…" Bella replied, instantly dropping the smile I wasn't so accustomed to.

I'd never felt more compelled to just, I don't know, hug Bella than I did in that moment.

I felt an immense pull toward Bella in that second and had to physically stop myself from reaching for her.

I went back to watching the road; I was surprised I hadn't crashed yet.

I began driving faster, in a hurry to get out of the car; I could smell Bella, and it wasn't helping clear my head at all.

I heard Bella sigh softly once, and It was crazy but I couldn't help but wander why she was so down; could it possibly be me?

I sat immersed in my pointless thoughts, hoping that tonight would cheer Bella up.

I faintly smiled as I realized that I had survived the car ride without murdering or kissing Bella- I couldn't decide which would have led to worse consequences.

I cleared my throat loudly, indicating to Bella that we were here.

Bella nearly jumped out of her seat when I cleared my throat and I let out a small chuckle.

"You know. If you're going to make fun of me, in future don't wait until I've put up with you for a whole car ride." Bella said quietly, giving me what I expect was supposed to be a dark look.

I laughed again. "You don't scare me Bella." I said, opening my car door.

It was partly true… she only scared me when she was upset. Which wasn't that often.

Bella made no move to get out of the car. She simply sat and stared at the car door. She was driving me crazy. I really wished that I could read Bella's mind in that moment.

"Bella?" I asked gently, opening her door in a move that I meant to be polite.

She soon reacted when I opened the door.

She swatted my hand away sternly and gave me a look that was quite frankly… scary.

"I can open a fucking door Edward." Bella said in a monotonous voice., whilst getting out of my Volvo.

I couldn't understand my body's reaction to the way her tongue formed my name.

So I tried to start a conversation with Bella.

"Who was that guy? The one earlier… who was near your truck?" I asked nonchalantly, really wanting to know the answer.

Bella's eyes seemed to grow visibly darker and moisture pooled in them.

"Um… He's an old family friend." Bella replied shortly.

I could tell she was lying, but I didn't want to upset her again.

"Oh… right." I said, giving her a soft smile.

I heard a screech, and then a bang. Figuring it was Alice I carried on up the path, before glancing back.

Yep. Alice.

Bella looked really happy around Alice; it was actually kind of sweet to watch.

I wanted to spend more time with Bella.

But I didn't know how to be with her.

Maybe I could just be friends with her… who knows?

A/N. please review it would mean a lot(:
