I didn't exactly have a certain destination planned as I drove down the bumpy road, I just felt like driving. It was rare when I nothing to do. Whether I was at school, work, or with Jake, it seemed like I never had any time for Bella. So I decided to just let myself get lost in my boring thoughts and drive in peace. If Charlie or Jake knew I was doing this, they would yell something about Forks not being a safe place to get lost in. Please. I loved them both but that was absolute nonsense. Forks? Unsafe? I let out a soft chuckle at the thought as I turned down a new road.
After the CD I was listening to ended, I decided I better head back up to the center of town. No need to worry Charlie by losing track of time and missing dinner. But as I continued down the road, I realized the narrow road didn't seem to have an ending. Strange. There wasn't even a drive way to turn into and turn around properly. I decided that I had no choice but to pull a three point turn. In my huge ass red truck. Yay.
I stupidly looked behind me before I stopped to see if anyone was coming, but it was useless. There was no one in sight for at least 5 miles. I got to the farthest side of the road and spun my wheel all the way to the left as I put my foot on the gas. That was easy enough. As I turned the wheel the opposite way and put the car in reverse I hit my foot on the gas again. This time, it wasn't so easy. The car decided it was staying right where it stood. Shit.
I looked out my truck window and saw that my front tires were halfway covered in mud piles. Perfect. Why did I move to the wettest place in the country again? I sat there in defeat for a moment while I tried to come up with a solution to my latest problem. I slammed as hard as I could on the gas but that only seemed to get my truck even more stuck.
What the hell was I supposed to do? I didn't have a cell phone (I would be sure to thank Charlie for that one later) and there wasn't a human in sight for miles. I could always walk back, but it was starting to get dark, and even I am not that stupid to walk alone at night. I came to the conclusion that there way only one solution, I needed to push it out. Or at least try to push it out.
I made my way to the front of the car and placed my hands on the head lights and pushed with all my might. The truck did not move an inch. "That's just great!" I yelled out to no one. I felt the tears swell up in my eyes as I leaned against the truck.
"Do you need some help?" My head snapped so fast that my neck cracked in place. I looked up to see a man. If you could call him that. Could a man be that beautiful? He was pale, but his skin had a slight glow to it. His hair was pulled in every direction possible, but was oddly perfectly in place. It was a beautiful bronze shade that every actor salon tried to obtain on a daily basis, but could never get right. But the thing that hit me the most was his eyes. The eyes that were staring at my face and the surrounding incident. I had never seen eyes like this. They were gold? But had a slight blackish tint to them. All I could do was stare.
The beautiful man stepped a little closer. "I'm sorry. It was foolish of me to catch you off guard. But it looks as if you are in need of some assistance."
I finally found my voice. "I…uh…yes. Yes, I could really use a hand." I took a look around the forest that surrounded the road. "Where….where did you come from?" Civilization had to be at least 5 miles and there was no car in sight that he would have droved . It was actually kind of creepy. But looking at the man, I didn't feel anything but relief.
He made his way to the front of my cab and placed his hands where mine had failed a few short minutes ago. As he pushed he explained. "Well, I was just taking a walk in the woods. And then I heard you scream." A walk in the woods? Who walks in the woods? Alone. At twilight. But staring into his eyes I couldn't not trust him.
"Oh," was all I could respond.
I heard a crackling in the woods that startled me as I turned to look into the woods. When I saw nothing I turned back to look at the beautiful man and my stuck cab to find that the cab was scotch free from the mud.
"Oh my god! How did you get it out so fast?" The cab must have been five inches deep in the mud. The man shrugged his shoulders. "Living around her, you get used to pulling cars out of the mud." He smiled crookedly at me. Again, all I could do was stare. Was I dreaming? Did this beautiful man just save me from distress?
I was overjoyed and before I knew it my arms were strapped around his neck. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The man pulled me off of him faster than I thought was humanly possible. Suddenly he was on the opposite side of the cab. Okay, he does not like to be touched obviously.
As I stared once again, I looked into his eyes, and they were deep black. Weren't they just gold? Was I seeing things?
The man shifted away from my stare. "Yes, well. It was no problem…." He trailed off asking for my name.
"Bella. Bella Swan."
"I'm Edward Cullen."
Please REVIEW! J I'm so excited to start some BE loving in future chapters. And let's not forget Jake!
