Ok, I definetely think this one is so far my favorite (= It's the shortest one, but really cute at the end!
Of course I don't own any Twilight characters, but that would be pretty cool wouldn't it??? (=
Mini Moments.. Three
Getting the call .. Bella
"Yeah, dad, I'll see you later tonight. OK. Yep, love you too. Bye." I hung up the phone and threw it back on my bed, then went back to the history paper I was supposed to already be done with.
A couple minutes later the phone starting ringing again. Ugh! Come on Dad! He had called four times in the last hour, just to make sure I was OK. Leaving me at home alone was a big step for him now, and I can't say I blame him.
I ignored the phone and went back to my history paper. Charlie didn't leave a voicemail, so he'll probably call back later. I was still having a hard time recalling everything from that night with Jacob, and I don't really want to. All I know is he's been in jail for the last two weeks. When he finally made bail yesterday, it was agreed he'd go right back to La Push and stay there until I decided what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted him away from me, but I didn't see the point in locking someone up and pissing him off even more. I keep telling myself I should just put him behind bars and never let him out, but then again, it was only one mistake. Mistakes can be forgiven right?
I shook those thought out of my head and turned the page in the history book, looking for a certain date. Before I could get the date written down, I heard a knock on the door downstairs. Only it wasn't really a knock. More like a banging noise. I slowly got off the bed and tiptoed across the room and to the top of the stairs. The banging continued and it was only getting louder.
Every one of my thoughts went back to that night and how Jacob was banging on my door like that. I sat down on the top step and put my head in my hands, willing the banging to stop. Jacob just got out last night, could he really already be looking for me? He didn't seem that mad. This cannot be happening to me. The knocking came to a stop and I lifted my head. I waited a couple seconds, before I stood up. I went to take a step down and before my foot hit the step I heard my phone going off. I panicked. I didn't know if I should go get it, because if it is Jacob, he'll know I'm home.
I decided to head down the stairs and when I got to the point where I could see in the living room, I stooped down and peaked into the living room. I saw that the curtains were pulled closed, so I couldn't see out front. Luckily, that meant he couldn't see inside either. When I got halfway down the banging started again. I froze and slammed my butt down on the stair.
I could feel tears start in my eyes and I didn't know what to do. I know the first thing that should have came to mind was call Edward. But I did that last time and we had to convince Billy Black to not press charges against Emmett. Though they probably wouldn't have stuck, I couldn't do that to the Cullens again. So I thought I should call my dad. But he was an hour away, fishing with Deputy Mark from the station. Maybe if I just sit here and not move he'll just go away. Maybe he'll get bored and go look somewhere else, then I can call Edward to come get me.
A couple moments later the banging stopped again and my phone went off. I was frozen solid and wouldn't move. I refused to move. After the cell phone stopped ringing the house phone started. I knew for sure if I answered that one he'd know I was home. But Jacob didn't have my house number..? I realized that could easily be my way out and raced down the rest of the stairs to get it, but by the time I got to it it was done ringing.
Before I could dial *67 to see who it was that called, then handle to the front door started moving and I heard a key going in.
There was no way it was Charlie, and I was pretty sure Edward left his key upstairs last time. I didn't have anymore time to think because the front door flew open and a man stepped inside. I covered my mouth with my hand and ran towards him. I didn't want to scream, but he scared the hell out of me.
"Bella, why didn't you answer the door?!" I threw myself into his arms and he wrapped them around me quickly, lifting me up and carrying me to the couch after kicking the door shut behind him.
"You scared the hell out of me Edward! Don't ever do that again!" I pushed him away and little and smacked his chest. He quickly pulled me back to him and tucked my head into his chest.
"Bella, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Who did you think it was love?" I looked back up at him and he wiped what was left of my tears from my cheeks.
I took a deep breath and buried myself back into him. "I thought you were Jacob. The banging." He held me tighter and lifted my face to his.
"I'm so, so sorry Bella. I didn't mean to do that I was just really excited to get here and tell you the good news. And you weren't answering your phone and when I knocked you didn't answer. I'm so sorry." He kissed my lips real lightly, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"It's OK Edward. I'm just overreacting, and scared. I should have answered the phone. I love you." I kissed him again and we both sighed.
"I love you too Bella. Now, if you thought it was Jacob, why didn't you call me?" Uhoh.
"I was going to, but I was kinda frozen on the stairs, I didn't wanna move. And plus I knew that if I called you, and it was Jacob, you might get in the same trouble as Emmett almost got in, and I didn't want that." I looked down a little. Edward was a little overprotective, but it was many of the reasons I loved him. I knew I'd always be safe, no matter what. Though, if keeping me safe, put him in any danger, I'd quickly put a stop to it.
"Bella, you always call me if you think you're in trouble." He grabbed my face, and made me look at him. "Always Bella! I love you, and if anything happened to you that I could have prevented, know I'll hold you personally responsible." He smiled at me a small quick smile and I had to laugh. Could I possibly love him anymore?
"Well, OK. That's settled. You're not Jacob, I'm in no danger and my heart rate has officially gone back to normal. Now what's your good news." I pulled back at little to look at him and I watched his face light up.
"I got it Bella. Mr. Anderson called me this morning. They're signing me." His smile only got wider with every word that came out of his mouth. I jumped across the couch and attacked him.
"Oh my god Edward! You did it. I told you you'd get it. You're so amazing." I leaned up and kissed him and he put his hands on my face. When I pulled away he leaned his head back and sighed.
"We did it Bella." He looked back at me. "We. You helped me so much Bella. I would have never got this without you." He quickly got up from the couch and started pacing the small living room. He stopped mid step on his way back toward the couch and looked at me. "Do you realize we're not gonna have to worry about anything?! Nothing Bella. They told me what they'd be paying me, and we're not going to have to worry about anything for a long time." He turned back around and started pacing again.
I smiled and got up from the couch, walking up behind him. I put my hand on his shoulder and spun him around. "Edward, that's not what this is all about. Remember that. You love playing the piano. Don't make it out to be some forced job. Enjoy what you do, and promise me that when it becomes just a paycheck, you'll quit."
He looked down at me and narrowed his eyebrows. "Bella, what do you mean quit? I can't quit this, it's a really good job, and it'll provide for you, and me and when we have children, we'll all be set." He gave me a strange look and then quickly started speaking again. "You do what children right. You do want to marry me one day and have a family and everything, right?"
I quickly nodded my head. "Yes, Edward! Of course that's what I want. More than anything I want to marry you and have kids of our own and everything else, but what I mean is, don't take this offer because of the money. Take it because you want to play the piano. I know you do, but when you said that they were going to pay you a lot and you started talking about us being 'set', well that worries me a little. I don't want you do this for the money, I want you to do it because it makes you happy. And if the day comes that it don't make you happy no more, you walk away. Don't worry about the money, don't worry about me, or where we're at in life, just walk away. You enjoy playing the piano too much and I'd hate to see you do it for anything less than enjoyment."
He finally comprehended what I was saying and nodded his head. "I promise Bella. If one day I stop enjoying it, I'll quit." He leaned down to kiss me. When he pulled away and pulled me to him, hugging me I felt complete. I had everything I'd ever wanted. I had a future with the man I loved. I had great friends and a wonderful family. I had everything.
He walked us back to the couch and sat us down, with me on his lap and my head on his shoulder.
"Ya know, if I ever do stop enjoying my job, I can always make you go get a job and we could live off your paycheck. I think I'd rather enjoy sitting around all day while you work." He looked at me and smiled. I slapped his shoulder and he started laughing. "You know I'm just kidding sweetheart. I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."
We both laid there, just talking to one another for another hour before we finally moved. I realized no matter what I had throughout my life. No matter who came in, then left. No matter what I did for a living. No matter who I knew I could depend on and who I couldn't. There would always be one constant. No matter the difficulties or hard times, he would be there.
And that's all I needed.
Aww, ok, so I thought it was super cute. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I am. The simplest things make me go 'awwwwwww!'
But I hope you guys liked it (=
