Chapter 5: Charlie Knows Things and Bella Does Things
EPOV
I hear the floor creaking on the other room. Charlie. I look at the clock, its 5am. "Love, your father is getting up and preparing for work. I should get going before he sees me…wait he already knows I'm here, but still let's not stretch our luck. And you didn't get any sleep at all!"
"Don't be ridiculous I slept all day yesterday and I only need five hours of sleep at maximum. C'mon let's go downstairs, I need to finish preparing breakfast before Charlie finish his shower." she said heading out the door just in time for Charlie to pass by heading towards the bathroom.
"Morning Belles" Then he looks into the room…at me and assessing my looks and sigh "Morning Edward" his thoughts isn't clear but is a bit chagrined towards me…and a bit accepting?
"Good Morning Charlie" I said as I follow Bella down the stairs. I'm not sure if I should call him Chief Swan or Charlie but since he said good morning to me in his house…while I was inside his daughter's bedroom then I chose the latter.
"Belles I said to behave yesterday." At least there wasn't any noise last night and I know they disappeared during the middle of the night. And it looks like nothing happened…
Apparently Charlie checked Bella's room when we were at my house. And I think he warned Bella to…not do anything…inappropriate with me but I'm not sure his mind is fuzzy to read like always.
"Dad, his clothes never left his body! He came in exactly like that last night." Bella said indignantly
I'm just saying…geez you're the one that told me you were going to unleash your seductive wiles on the boy…I think all the shock I suffered throughout the night deterred me from thinking properly because I turned my head towards the top of the stairs and gape at Charlie who is staring at me calculatingly then I gape at Bella's back.
"You are planning to seduce me?!" I shrieked for the first time in my long life. Bella just shrugged without looking back at me and continued her way to the kitchen. Then suddenly I realized my mistake as Charlie's mental voice became louder than before.
I didn't say anything…oh for Pete's sake… a mind reader…just need to know so don't ask the how Charlie. This isn't the first bizarre thing you know or the biggest bizarre things you know. But why and how didn't I notice that before? It was all there…his mind became harder to read as I guess his mind is flickering suspicious events when he was interacting with me great going…for a Chief of police…that's really slow. Well isn't this just dandy, he's going to be here most of the time. I really need to convince Bella to drag him into her house instead. Oh he's hearing this now or part of it. My mind is blurred most of the time right kid?
I nodded as I stare at him wide eyed. I'm still too shock and horrified to say anything. I should have done damage control but I'm pretty sure Charlie wouldn't have believed my excuses.
Thought so…it's like that all the time unless I want to be heard. "Belles I'm just going to take a shower…quickly. So behave."
"If you say so and besides there's no time." Bella called back. If I can blush, my face would resemble a fire truck. I swipe my trough my hair and glared at the direction Bella had gone to.
"You know I'm right here." I huffed. "You should listen to your father and behave; I will not fall for your tricks. You have to make an honest man out of me Bella." I said rather loudly
Well now I know he's a true believer of sex after marriage…too bad Bella isn't. Good luck with that Edward, you'll need it. Belles is probably driving him nuts with her impenetrable mind…Zachary have it too…with that he went on his way towards the bathroom
"Thanks for the luck but I'm pretty confident on my resolve to resist her. Yes, it has been driving me nuts since I met her. How do I get inside her head and who is Zachary?" I ask loudly so he could hear me inside the bathroom.
Not going to tell you how you can get into her mind…besides she'll probably use that to seduce you and before you ask the how she's going to do that, I'll tell you. She's a loud broadcaster, you can't tune her out she's just too loud…so you can imagine how she'll use that to her advantage. As for Zachary, I think you'll meet him today at school. Don't ask on how I know these things…It's an unspoken policy here…just the need to know basis. With that his mind became blurry again; I guess he does that at will and unconsciously
I continue my way into the kitchen where my love is cooking pancakes and waiting for me with a raised eyebrow. She heard and noticed my slip up apparently.
"That was so unusually…careless of you. Good thing we have the don't ask don't tell policy here." I just nodded and went behind her to loop my arms around her waist. I contemplated on asking her how I can get inside her head but I considered Charlie's insight on how Bella can utilize her mind to weaken my resistance towards her body and I decided against it. It's not worth the risk on having me at her mercy and her in danger if I loose control.
"Who is Zachary? According to your father I'll be meeting him at school today?"
"Family…unfortunately." she muttered softly and if not for my heightened hearing I would have missed it. I just nodded against the side of her neck immersing myself in her scent. I am looking forward to meeting more people that knew Bella before I met her. Although according to Charlie I wouldn't be able to hear this Zach's mind. I wonder if he's as unpredictable as my love. And I wonder why Bella seems to be…petulant towards this person.
"Don't pick me up today. I have to stop by somewhere." I pulled my head back and look at her questioningly
"Why? I can accompany you there and besides I want to see your car."
"No chance, you'll get to see it at the same time as everyone else. I have to pick up a package at the post office because they keep missing the turn to my fucking drive. The last package I ordered for my truck went to the damn neighbor who lives a mile away from me. I'm thinking of putting neon sign on my turn." she said annoyed
"You're the one fixing your truck?! I thought you sent it somewhere instead. Tell me love, are you going to bypass me on skills?" I teased
"Pfft…bypass my ass. I'm going to fucking own you on everything you can do!" she grinned then turned the stove off as she finished preparing Charlie's breakfast
"Language…tune it down love, I know you can do that…" I reprimand but I laugh anyway at her enthusiasm
Positive reinforcement…well at least he's doing something positive with her though I can live without seeing their position right now especially in my kitchen. I was so preoccupied with Bella I didn't notice Charlie's approach. I remove myself from Bella and sat on a chair instead, no need to turn his thought negatively towards me now. Kiss up He thought while sitting down with a pile of pancakes. Oh he noticed the reason for my move and I look down sheepishly.
I look at the clock on the stove, 5:15am. "Since you won't need my chauffeuring services today, I should head back home and tell my brothers and sisters that I will be of service to them today instead. Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett are coming back to Forks High three days a week, since the school allows it they decided to get more credits. So I'll see you in about half an hour or hour." Bella sent me sidelong skeptical look obviously not believing the lie. Hmm she is good at this. I went to her and whispered in her ear pretending to give her a goodbye kiss "Alice has been missing Jasper so you can guess what happened, then Emmett…well its Emmett that explains everything for him and Rosalie doesn't want to be left out."
"Alice might not know anything I've told you. I was keeping a firm decision on just laying down with you throughout the night" she whispered back and I slightly nodded then I went towards the back door
"Right…you don't…have…car…here…didn't came here with it…going through backyard." Charlie mumbled. I froze halfway through the back door and look back at him. Bella is just staring at her father seemingly uncaring. Charlie noticed our stare and thought…What? I didn't ask anything then made a shooing motion with his hand at me and I took my queue to leave content that he's not asking questions.

As I watch Edward continue on his way, I went to my "oven" which is imbedded on the wall. I almost put in the code to open the compartment that is hiding my knives, more guns, and grenades then I remembered Charlie is till at home. Instead I got the casserole I've put in there last night. I sat down across Charlie and ate.
I gifted Charlie a few times with shotguns since he likes them. Five years ago I gave him a Heckler & Koch Fabarm FP6 and then a Mossberg 500 in the next year. I don't usually use those types of shotguns and apparently they are a tad bit strong than I anticipated. Charlie knew how they work and when I gave them to him, he looked at me strangely then said his thanks. No questions asked, yup I love my dad.
"See you later Belles. Please come home in one piece and preferably alive today." I nodded as he said as he got up and headed out the door.
As I hear the cruiser leave the front yard, I went back to my oven, punched in the necessary codes then waited for the cubicle slot under the oven to rise and slid out. The box opened and revealed various kinds of "toys" for me. I grabbed a couple of M67 hand grenades and TD multi port plus flashbang grenades. I also took a Heckler & Koch P7M13 and a Beretta 92G elite II. I went to the new and large painting in the living room, punched in the sequence on the small keyboard disguised as part of the wall. I retrieved a Heckler & Koch MP5K. I don't need to get ammos, all my weapons are ready to lock and load anytime and this little rendezvous is going to be quick anyway.
I went upstairs and prepared to look my part. I put on a low cut black halter top, three large belts with buckles adorning across my abdomen and I took my TJ's custom gunworks stealth-1 from my dresser and hid it behind one of the buckles. The top slightly shows off my midriff and I grab the chemical solution to unravel the tattoo of Edward's full name across my lower back. I put on a black plaid skirt that stops at mid thigh. I also put a black hotpants underneath. I slid my two inch platform heels. The spring weather is warm enough for this ensemble to work.
I wasn't lying when I said I needed to go to the post office, I'm just going to an abandoned post office that some new little hotshot is using to traffic drugs. I'm not going to kill anyone as I promised a couple of months ago in Paris that I would try to keep my bloodlust in check. I'm going to just scare them off, make them think there's a bigger and badder boss in town.
I look at the time, 5:25am. It takes 15 minutes to get there if I max speed my SSC Ultimate Aero same with my Bugatti Veyron Tagra. I'll get there in less than ten minutes if I take my custom bike which is in the garage at my house. I calculated the time and came to the conclusion that I would get to my destination in about 10 minutes if I take my bike from my house using my car. But I have to sling my weapons on me and that would look more than suspicious on the streets. I have to hurry this up if I want to get to school early. Long trench coat it is! That would be enough to disguise my babies. I grabbed my toys and arrange them properly before I put my coat on then headed towards the garage to get my car then get my bike from my house. My that's a mouthful.
End Chapter 5…TBC…
Next is EPOV and maybe BPOV or third POV…depends if it doesn't end up too long
Does anyone know how to get around Charlie's psych? I want to write a POV of him but I'm coming up blank *Sigh* No one wants to say hi to me still…I seem to attract alerters and favoriters (I know those aren't words) and not reviewers. But oh well…Thank you guys
