Chapter 17

BPOV

Watching the sunrise in London was like being on a different planet. In a way, I was homesick, because I had become accustomed to call Alaska home. I wasn't home sick in the way that I knew my home was wherever Edward was, and Edward was in London.

I stood by the window peering at the people rushing across and down the streets. Everyone was in such a rush. It scared me, these people were short on time, but I had all the time in the world.

I padded down the hall back to our bedroom. I kissed Edward on the cheek; he was sitting on the bed reading a book, then grabbed my stuff and headed out the door.

Alice had literally planned out my outfit for everyday that I was in London. Today, she picked out a blue dress with a floral pattern on the bottom to the bust that was orange turquoise and cream coloured. The shoes were orange ankle platform wedge espadrilles. She wrote it on a card attached to the outfit, and boy was it a mouthful.

I stepped out of the elevator into the lobby of our building. I waved to the doorman as I made my out to Clive who was waiting by the curb right in front of the door.

"Morning Mrs. Cullen" He greeted me as I stepped out into the street.

I cringed "Clive, please call me Bella. Mrs. Cullen is so formal!"

He grinned "Bella it is. Shall we get going? You're going to be late."

I nodded and climbed into the back of the town car.

The ride towards Professor Carlton's apartment building was a short one. He told me to meet him at his apartment, and then he would teach me and the other students from his apartment. I was excited because it was nice to learn in a different environment. We arrived at a modern brick building in the heart of London. I peered out the window as Clive rushed over to my side of the car to open my door.

I stepped out and looked up at the mid-morning sky and quickly rushed inside because I saw the sun start to peek out of the clouds.

I looked around the sleek lobby and was a little surprised. This was extremely nice for a person who was on a professor's salary.

I talked to the doorman who led me to a private elevator that whisked me up to the top floor. Another surprise, my professor lived in a penthouse?

The elevator dinged and I stepped into the front hall of a lavish penthouse suite. There was nobody in the front hall so I wandered down a brightly lit hallway. I looked around in a large living room and kitchen, but still nobody.

I wasn't that early was I? Why were no students here, let alone my professor?

I called out "Hello? Is anybody there?"

Suddenly someone placed there hand on my shoulder and I jumped and turned around. Professor Carlton stood behind me. "Oh, I'm sorry Bella, did I scare you?"

"Uh yeah, I guess I was just on edge a bit because it was so empty until you showed up."

"Oh yes sorry about that. I bought this apartment solely for the view, but then I realized I had way to much space. Have you seen the view yet?"

I glanced at the living room and saw bright sunlight shining through the giant bay windows.

"I...Um...Well...I-I'm afraid of heights, so if I look out that window, I might go into shock and go unconscious so that would be a bad thing" I stuttered, I just said the first thing that came to mind. Anything to keep me away from that window.

He looked upset "Well that's unfortunate because the view is really spectacular! Have you had breakfast already?"

My eyes widened, why was he asking all these questions that needed me to make up excuses? "Oh yes I had something before I came here, my husband made me breakfast already, so I'm fine."

His eyes flashed with an unfamiliar emotion "Your husband is here in London as well?"

I blinked, I couldn't pin point that emotion, Jasper would be helpful right now, but he's on another continent! "Yes of course Edward came with me! He's my husband; did you think he was going to stay behind?" I challenged him.

He paused "How nice, you two must really love each other."

I nodded my head confidently "Yes, we do, a lot."

"I always wanted to get married young. I just think life is too short to skip out on that sort of thing. It's not like we have all the time in the world!"

Wait what? He did not just say that! I stuttered a couple sounds out desperate to change the subject. He sensed my nervous attitude and took matters into his own hands.

"Well since you've already eaten breakfast, how about we go into my office and get to that lesson!"

He started to walk away and I just stood there still processing what he said. "Hold on, I thought you said there were other people coming"

He looked nervous as he answered "Bella, I guess I wasn't clear. I do have other students coming, just not today. One of the perks of the program is that you get one on one time with the professor. Now if you'll follow me, we can stop wasting time and get to the lesson" There was a hard edge in his voice as if he was annoyed with my not following him right away.

I was extremely hesitant and uncomfortable. Something just didn't feel right, but I felt bad that he had put aside time for me, and I thought it would be rude for me to leave, so I followed him.

We walked along a dimly lit corridor this time and went into a dark office. The only light provided were several candles lit around the room.

Professor Carlton gestured for me to sit down on one side of his big oak desk as he sat behind it.

He turned his intense gaze on me and started talking in a low, husky voice. "Bella, you've caught my eye ever since you walked into my classroom that first day."

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat uncertain how to reply to that. Something caught my eye, a piece of shiny metal on his desk that was reflecting the candlelight.

It was an arrow, and not one that someone would keep in a collection. It was too new, and it didn't shock me when I thought he might actually use it for something.

I glanced back at him "Why the hell is there an arrow on your desk?" I demanded.

He tore his gaze away from me and glanced at the arrow. A look of fear flashed across his face. "What? Oh tha- that's for a study I'm doing." He quickly snatched the arrow and threw it in the drawer of his desk.

He was so quick that he cut his hand on the sharp end, and blood gushed out of his hand.

My eyes were as wide as they could get. I couldn't tear my gaze away from his red hand, and he stared me, staring at his hand.

I quickly looked away and I saw him smirk out of the corner of my eye, but it was shortly replaced by a look of lust.

He came around and grabbed me by my arms and pulled from my seat. "Bella, you are an extremely attractive young woman, do you know that? I wish you weren't married"

He pulled my head to his nose and inhaled "You smell so good, and you've been sending me signals ever since that first day."

I wriggled away too frightened to respond. He grabbed me roughly and crashed his lips against mine.

I couldn't move, I couldn't think, I couldn't function. My brain wasn't working; his tongue pried my teeth open and he shoved it inside my mouth.

Suddenly something clicked in my head and I shoved him roughly away from me. I shoved him too hard and he fell to the floor. His eyes flashed with fury and I couldn't believe what I had just done. No human can be that strong.

"What the hell are you doing? I'm married for god sake! And you're my teacher, I'm a student!" I screamed at him.

Before he had a chance to respond, I grabbed my bag and ran out of the room. I found my way back to the elevator and pushed the button for the lobby.

I slumped against the wall on the way down and heaved dry sobs. Had that really just happened?

When the door opened I flew out the lobby and out onto the street. Lucky for me it was raining and I wandered down the street back to our house, my miserable thoughts with me the entire way.

I finally arrived back at our apartment. I flew through the door desperate for the feeling of Edward's arms holding me.

I fell into his arms and continued to sob. He stroked my hair in silence, not asking what was wrong until I calmed down. I sat there for a long time, him stroking my hair, and whispering calming words in my ear.

After I finally calmed down I sat up and looked into his eyes. They were pure concern.

"Bella...what's wrong? What happened? You're scaring me, running in here acting like that."

I felt bad for putting him through this, but I needed to be honest "Edward, there's something that happened today. I'm not proud of it and I'm disgusted by it. There's something not right about my professor. There have been these strange things that he's been saying and doing, and it really scared me. Then today, he overpowered me and he kissed me, I couldn't do anything I was too shocked and then I pushed him, but I pushed him too hard and I think he might know who we are!"

Edward didn't hear the last part of what I said, because he jumped up with a look of pure fury on his face. He snarled and walked swiftly towards the door.

I made it there before him and put my back to the door "Edward, please don't do anything. You know you could expose us! Edward please, calm down, I'm begging you!"

His eyes were filled with hate and fury "Not this time Bella. I dealt with Jacob, but this is too much. Now please move, Professor Carlton and I have some unfinished business to attend to."

"Edward I-" I was cut off by the sound of Edward's cell phone ringing. He whipped it out of his pocket and answered it with a snarl "What Alice?"

She sounded frantic "Edward you'll never believe what I just saw!"

Ooooh, cliffy! Sorry, please don't hate me! And I'm also sorry about Professor Carlton, I know he's an ass, but believe me; he will get what's coming to him! I have posted Bella's outfit for this chapter in my profile, so check that out! What did you think? Let me know in a review! Hope you liked it!
