Chapter 18
Bella POV
I peered out the window of the car, moving swiftly along the road, unusually after the rain last night, the weather is oddly pleasant, not exactly a Malibu beach but warm and dry still. It's nice, temporary obviously, but nice nonetheless.
That was quite possibly the longest day in school ever. I need to find out why Alice didn't come in, Edward was as usual, carrying on with his trademark stoicism. He didn't seem at all concerned with Alice's absence. Driving, his mind seemingly miles away as usual, I very much doubt we are thinking about the same things. Well unless he is thinking about his sister, even so probably not in the way that I had been thinking about her all day, reminiscing, waiting to see her again. I really wish she had come in today, the fairly enjoyable weather aside, the day as a whole was miserable, and unbelievably boring. The only thing that kept me entertained were my thoughts of her, I'd be home soon enough though, and I can call her, and I can see her, and I can kiss her and I can-
"Bella…?" Edward cut me off, interrupting what would have been a very entertaining train of thought.
"Yes?" I asked, sighing deeply.
"Emmett, and Jasper and I, will be going hunting this evening, well I assume Jasper is coming but what with Alice's absense im not sure, either way, I wont be with you this evening, but I will be back by tonight."
"Okay?" I asked, not quite seeing the point, or importance of his statement.
"I thought I ought to let you know where I would be, and that I would be returning very soon. I wont be gone for long, I promise."
"Okay, thank's for letting me know." I replied, smiling at him.
Well Edwards absence should be helpful, I want to spend time with Alice…talking, and other things. Time for both, considering he will be away.
The car came to an abrupt stop, I peered upwards seeing that we were in my drive way, finally.
Edward leaned forward's and placed a kiss on my jaw.
"I will see you tonight love." He said, looking into my eyes, smiling crookedly.
"Yeah, see you tonight…bye."
I hopped out of the car, giving Edward a little wave, I turned to the door, hearing the car pull away behind me, I opened the door and ran straight up the stairs. I pushed my door open swiftly, I couldn't get to the phone fast enough. I jumped back startled, there Alice was sitting on my bed.
"Bella…lets talk."
