Chapter 11

You know what they say about good news travelling fast, well apparently, gossips travels faster. By the end of the week, the whole of Forks knew about Edward and me, including Charlie…

"Bella what's this I hear about you and that Cullen boy? Mrs. Jackson told me when she called for her husband at the station," he said when he entered the front door that Saturday.

Well then, Mrs. Jackson, and the rest of Forks included, is just a bitch who likes to stick her nose into everyone else's business… But, of course I couldn't say that.

"Well, it's true, Edward and I are sort of dating…"

"Sort of?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Okay, definitely."

Charlie gave a sigh, "Bella what have I told you about loving people who would die eventually?"

If only Charlie knew, but I couldn't tell. I haven't even confirmed it with Diana yet – she had pestered me for a whole day, but eventually gave up because she'd knew I'll tell her in due time. So, for now I fired off the only excuse I could think of.

"So, I'm supposed to walk the Earth without love at all, because everyone is going to leave eventually?"

"No, but couldn't you fall in love with someone who can stay much longer?"

"Charlie, love is irrational. No explanations. Just because it'll hurt when it's over, doesn't mean we can't enjoy it now." I knew he was still hurting after his separation from Renee, and it was clouding his judgment on why I should or shouldn't date Edward.

"Okay then, but don't you regret not taking my advice when it's over," then seeing the hurt look on my face, he softened, "bring him home for dinner sometime won't you? I want to see what made you fall in love with him."

…:::…:::…:::…

Spring break was descending quickly upon us, and Edward did come over for 'dinner' every now and then, not that he ate anything. He did take up a habit of staying in my room every night, and watching me while I slept. Not that Charlie knew about it of course, he came in through my window.

I turned on my computer one night, when Edward was out on a hunting trip with Emmett and Jasper, to clear my massive backlog of unanswered emails. After hastily replying to the bunch of messages Renee sent, I found one from Kelsie, my water sprite friend from Phoenix:

Heya! Bella, baby!

Ohmigosh! Bellsie!! I haven't written in ages, oh forgive me will you?? The internet connection here sucks, I have to go all the way to the Mediterranean for any decent signals…

Oh, I haven't told you have I? I've moved!! ))). Yups, life got boring around Phoenix without you, and I received sort of a job invitation from the Atlantas, so, I accepted it. Isn't it so awesome? Yeah, so, Serene, Halyn and I have moved to Atlantis.

Honestly, this job is so coolio! Really! I'm sort of an ambassador so I get to travel a lot, which means: branded goods without shipment fees!! 333. I travel to check on the water sprites living in that area, which leads me to my next topic…

So, the next place I've been assigned to is the area which you are staying in, including Forks, the reservation, and Port Angeles. It's starting a fortnight before the start of your spring break, and ends right after spring break. Is it alright if I stayed at your place during the break? Because I've only been assigned there for two weeks, but took the week off to spend some time catching up with you! Oh, and it'll be better if you have an extra room, Halyn's coming along too. Says he'll be really upset if he doesn't see me for three whole weeks. So kawaii!! 33

Yeah, please let me know ASAP! Serene and Halyn sends their love to both you and Charlie.

Xoxo,

Kelsie 3 3 3

Ps. If you're worried about how I'll be getting about, no worries, because I having Calie shipped over. She'll be arriving a day after I do.

Pps. That means you're gonna have to drive me to Seattle to collect her.

That's Kelsie for you, loving, enthusiastic, and a little twitty when she is. I gave a quick shout down to Charlie, who enthusiastically agreed to let them stay. I quickly composed a reply:

Hey, Kelsie!

It's been so long too! Missed you a lot. Charlie says of course you're welcomed to stay over, and Halyn too. (Jab him in the side for me wont'cha.)

Charlie sends his love back to you guys, and me too! And I'm willing to drive you to Seattle anytime!

Love,

Bella.

Now, to tell Edward, and the Spaders too, of Kelsie's coming.

…:::…:::…:::…

The rain was drizzling down outside, and I was waiting there in the arrival hall. The screen announced that the plane Kelsie was on had arrived. A while later, passengers from the flight started streaming out.

I spotted Kelsie, she was not easy to miss. Her dressing and height made her stand out like a Tom Yam soup stain on a plain white polo-tee. She came running to me in a black corseted top, with a red leather jacket over it, matched with a pair of flared legged jeans, decorated with green sequins. Dragging along her pink and brown Guess luggage bag, she looked like she belonged in Forks as much as spiders belonged on the feline family.

"Bella! Baby!" she cried enthusiastically, the seashell at the end of her choker swinging.

I was engulfed in a hug, not that she was large, she was in fact quite slender, but because she was so tall. Kelsie has a penchant for heights, she is about 170 cm, and has been wearing heels since they were invented. However, her unnecessary footwear causes her to tower over Halyn, who was half-jogging towards us, by at least and one and a half inches.

Leading her outside, towards Edwards waiting car, she started jabbering frantically, which was her usual speed of talking. Sometimes, I wonder how I can understand her words without having super-hearing, like the Cullens.

"Kelsie, Halyn, this is Edward, my boyfriend."

"Edward, meet Kelsie and Halyn."

They shook each other's hands, and Edward drove them all the way to the rental apartment they were going to be staying in. I had to make sure that he didn't drive too fast again, but I think they were all talking too enthusiastically to be noticing the speed of the car. It's nice to see your boyfriend, your best friend, and her boyfriend getting along.

A/n: Okay, kind of fluffy this update. But don't worry, it's just the beginning, things will be getting interesting from now on…

And the password: cavalcade, even though I have absolutely no idea what it means (as of when I'm typing it) and I'm looking it up online now, because a friend of mine suggested that word. So there. Go look it up yourself. I'm not gonna be you dictionary
