Thanks for the reviews, I didn't get as many as i hoped for but that's ok, and to answer what i know what everyone is thinking, There will be more to Bella's tattoo, just not yet.
I was very careful around Charlie that night. I didn't think he would take the news of me getting a tattoo very well. I still couldn't believe it myself. I looked in the mirror and pulled back the bandage again just to make sure it was still there. Yup there it was, my flaming heart. When I looked at it, it felt like there was something missing but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. I went to bed thinking about Edward and fell asleep.
I woke up to my alarm clock and put on my favorite pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt. I went down stairs and got breakfast, Charlie had already left for work.
I went outside to get in my truck and realized that there was another car in the driveway. It was Edward in his silver Volvo. I smiled as Edward got out of his car.
"Hey you want a ride to school?" He said leaning up against the car.
"Yeah sure." I said getting in the car.
"How's your shoulder feel?" Edward asked pulling out of the driveway.
"It's a little sore but other than that it's fine."
"Mine is to."
"I still can't believe we got tattoos."
Edward chuckled, "Yeah me neither, what was I thinking."
"You weren't."
"Oh yeah." He said shaking his head.
"You know I just thought of something."
"Yeah, what?" he said pulling into the school parking lot.
"Alice is going to freak when she finds out I have a tattoo."
"So don't tell her."
"I wasn't planning on it; I'll wait till I'm twenty to tell her."
Edward laughed, "Emmet's not going to be to happy either. He'll be mad I did something like that without him."
"Ooh, Emmet's a lot worse than Alice, he could actually do some bodily damage."
"Crap, you're right." Edward said getting out of the car. "I'll see you at lunch." He kissed me then left for class.
I went to my locker to get my books. Alice was waiting for me there. Here we go.
"Isabella Swan, why weren't you in school yesterday?" Alice said scolding.
"Good morning to you to Alice."
"Don't give me that crap, where were you." She said crossing her arms.
"I was at home."
"Why?"
"Cause I wanted to be."
"Edward wasn't in school either." She said narrowing her eyes at me, "He never misses school."
"I know."
"You know what?"
"I know that he wasn't at school."
"And how do you know that?" She said getting a little impatient
"Cause he was with me."
Alice stared at me with wide eyes and her mouth hung open. I took the chance to change the subject.
"I need to get to class or I'm going to be late." I said and walked past her.
I got into my seat just as the bell rang. We had a pop quiz on Wuthering heights today. it's a good thing I've already read the book before.
The quiz was simple and I was the first one to hand it in. I still had twenty minutes of class left so I doodled on a piece of paper and tried to figure out what I was going to say to Alice. Crap, what was I going to say to her? I was going to have to talk to Edward so we could get our story straight.
The bell rang so I left for history. When I got into my seat Angela sat beside me.
"Oh my god Bella, I'm so glad that you're ok."
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Why weren't you in school yesterday?"
"I wasn't feeling very good." I couldn't believe how easily these lies were coming out of my mouth.
"Oh, well Edward wasn't in school either, must be something going around."
"Yeah, maybe."
We weren't able to say anything for the rest of the class cause the teacher gave us a week worth of notes to copy.
The bell finally rang so I got my things and went to geometry. Today was just as boring as any other day. I didn't want to have any homework today I finished it five minutes before the bell rang.
I got in the lunch line and someone bumped into me. It was Mike.
"Oh sorry Bella."
"S'okay." I said trying to hide my blush.
"Well since you're here I have a question for you," He said grabbing a tray.
"Yeah, what?"
"I'm haven a party after the football game tomorrow and I was hopen you could come." He said with his puppy dog face. Urg, I hated it when he did the puppy dog face, I always cave, today was no exception.
"Yeah I'll be there."
"Sweet, it's at my house."
"Yeah ok."
"Sweet, well, see you in gym." He grabbed his lunch and left me standing there.
Great what did I just get myself into. I grabbed a soda then went to my seat next to Edward.
"What's the matter Bella? You don't look so good." Emmet said.
I just shrugged.
"Bella where's your lunch?" Alice asked sitting down next to Jasper.
"I'm not hungry."
"Jeesh what's with you today?" Rosalie asked.
"What's up with the interrogations?" I yelled.
Everyone looked at me in shock.
"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward asked looking at me with concern written all over his face.
"Nothing." I said and got up. There was no reason for me to put everyone else in a bad mood.
I was halfway through the hall when I heard Emmett call after me.
"Bella wait."
I stopped but I didn't turn around.
"Okay spill it." He said stepping in front of me.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said trying to step around him.
"Bella, I'm not stupid. Something's bothering you, now what is it, spill." He said crossing his arms.
I just hung my head.
"Oh my god, something is wrong." He took a step toward me.
"Why didn't Alice come." I asked rudely.
"I told her to stay put, and I would talk to you."
"Oh."
"Seriously, why are you so moody," He paused for a second, "Wait are you on your, you know?"
I laughed, "No Emmett." I shook my head.
"Oh well good. Cause if that's the case I'm gunna go get Alice."
"It's not that, I promise."
"Well then what is it?"
"I'm not going to tell you here."
"Fine."
Emmett grabbed my hand and dragged me to his truck.
"Ok, spill."
I sighed.
"Did Edward do something to you."
"What? Oh god, no. This has nothing to do with Edward. Well it does but not in a bad way."
"You're pregnant aren't you?"
"Emmett! No I'm not, quit guessing and I'll tell you."
He sat there waiting for me to continue.
"Okay, I'm keeping this big secret from Alice and it's killing me, and today Mike asked me to go to a party with him and I said I would go, and it's at his house. I really don't want to go but I already said yes."
"Okay I'm with you so far, but what's the big secret?"
"Um, you know how Edward and I weren't in school yesterday?"
"Yeah."
"I was with him all day."
"doing what?"
"Um, talking and hanging out and," I took a deep breath, "We got these." I pulled off my shirt and showed him my tattoo. Oh don't get your panties twisted, I was wearing a tank top under my shirt.
"Dang Bella, I didn't know you had it in ya." He said smiling.
"Oh, shut up."
"Well do you feel better now?"
"Yeah I do, except the party."
"Don't worry about it, I'll be there, I'm on the football team remember? And I'll ask Edward to come."
I put my shirt back on.
"So you good now?"
I smiled at him, "Yeah, thanks."
"No problem." He said and gave me an Emmett hug.
"Emmett, cant, breath."
He laughed and put me down.
"If we hurry we won't be late for next period."
I walked quickly to my locker and got my biology stuff out and walked into the class room just as the bell rang. Thankfully the teacher wasn't there yet. I sat down next to Edward.
"Hey, you ok?" He asked.
"I am now."
"Good."
The teacher walked in so we had to stop talking. But that didn't stop Edward. He passed me a piece of paper,
So what was wrong?
I was having a break down
Why
Cause Alice wanted to know what I was doing yesterday
Oh, what did you tell her?
I told her the truth
What? Really?
No! are you insane? She'd kill me
Well what are you going to tell her?
I don't know, I was hoping you came up with something.
You could always say we hung out at your house
We did hang out at my house
Exactly so you wouldn't be lying to her, at least not completely.
Okay we'll go with that, but I did tell Emmet what we did,
Oh great, I'm now going to have to listen to him saying how he didn't think I had the guts
Sorry
"Am I interrupting something?" The teacher asked us.
"Uh, no."
"Well it would be wise to stop what you are doing and pay attention."
"Sorry." I said.
"Sorry." Edward muttered, I could tell that he wasn't.
After class got over I got bag and headed to gym.
We were playing volleyball, or stay out of Bella's way ball as I would like to put it.
I did the best I could to stay out of everyone's way and they were smart enough not to pass it to me.
In the end I only ended up with a bruise on my arm and that was it. I went to my locker and grabbed my biology book, I had to my finish the chapter summery since I didn't get it done in class.
Edward was waiting by his Volvo for me. Emmett was with him and by the look on his face he was talking about Edwards tattoo. Oops.
"Hey Edward, Emmett."
"And here's brave little Bella."
"Shut up Emmett." I said swatting at him.
"Or what."
"Or I'll beat you up into a pulp." Edward said
"Ooh, little Eddie's going to beat me up."
Edward tackled him to the ground and Emmett yelped in surprise.
"I mean it." Edward said.
"Ok, ok, get offa me." Emmet said.
Edward got off then got into his car. I got in after apologizing to Emmett.
"So what are we going to do today?" Edward asked pulling out of the school's parking lot.
"I have biology homework to finish." I said.
"Yeah me to. Do you want to come over and do it."
"Sure, Charlie won't be home anyways."
After ten minutes we were pulling into his driveway. I grabbed my bag and followed him to his bedroom.
"Where is everyone?"
"Dad's at the hospital working and my mom's at a friend's house until five."
"Oh."
"So what didn't you get done?"
"The last three pages of definitions."
Edward looked through his backpack and handed me his paper, "Here,"
I took his paper and looked through it, it was complete.
"I thought you said you had to finish it?"
"I lied, I just wanted you to come over." He smiled sheepishly.
"Well I would have anyway."
"You never know." He said and sat down next to me on his bed. "You want anything?"
"A soda would be good."
"?"
"Yup" I said writing down all the definitions.
He got two cans of out of his mini fridge and handed me one.
Edward grabbed my homework from me and started doing it himself.
"It'll take forever if I let you do it Bella."
"But you have different hand writing then me."
"Nah, I can write like you, it's not that hard."
Within five minutes he was done. I hated him for being able to do that.
"So Newton asked you to go to his party huh?"
"Ugh, yes."
"And your actually going?"
"Yep."
"Don't worry Emmett will make sure you don't get to drunk." He said laughing.
"Oh shut up." I said and mocked punched him in the shoulder, he faked an injury.
"Your such a dork." I said.
"Yeah I know, it's a disease." He said in a serious tone.
I burst out laughing. When I could breathe again I asked, "Are you going? To the party I mean."
"I don't know maybe."
"Why won't you go?"
"I don't like being in big crowds."
"Well I don't like to either but Mike tricked me into going."
"Did he give you his puppy dog look?"
"Yes."
"Ha-ha."
"You're not helping." I said sourly.
"Alright, alright, I'll go. Just don't expect me to dance." He said and kissed me before I could protest. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips against his. He placed his arms around my waist and kissed my back. Our kiss deepened; Edward ran his tongue along the inside of my lip and I opened her mouth to let him in. We both grew hungrier for each other, and Edward hand had slid up her shirt.
"Sorry Bella." Edward said pulling back.
"S'okay, really." I said kissing him again.
We kissed for what seemed like forever, but Edward pulled away again.
"I think we need to get you home."
"Oh alright." I said and grabbed my stuff.
When I got home I put my things away and got dinner ready for me and Charlie. I made spaghetti and had just pulled it out of the oven when Charlie got home.
"Hey kiddo, what are you making?"
"I made spaghetti."
"Well it smells really good."
"Thanks."
"How was school today?"
"The same as any other day dad."
"So you and Cullen are dating now huh?"
What? How did he find out?
"Oh, yeah."
"When were you going to tell me?"
"Um, when I thought the time was right, I didn't think you would take the news to well since you and mom just, you know."
"Yeah well, so when do I get to see him?"
"You've already seen him." I reminded him, hoping to get out of this trap.
"Ah yes, but I mean as your boyfriend."
"Soon." I said scooping the spaghetti onto two plates.
"Good, I need to make sure he's good enough for my little girl."
"Dad!" I exclaimed.
"Well, not just anyone can have my daughter." Charlie said sitting down at the table.
"Oh for crying out loud dad, I can take care of myself. This is Edward were talking about." I reminded him.
"Yeah and I haven't seen him in what? Seven years, that's a long time, people can change."
"Not Edward." I said taking a bite of spaghetti.
When we were finished I washed the dishes and put them away, Charlie turned on the baseball game so I went upstairs. I took a shower and put on a pair of old sweat pants and a tank top, and waited for Edward.
Edward climbed through my window at 11:30, I pretended to be sleeping. When he got close enough I sat straight up.
"Gotcha." I said.
Edward nearly fell backwards, "Jeesh Bella, you scared the crap outa me."
"Well that's what you get for sneaken into my bedroom." I said with a little bit of sarcasm.
"Ha-ha, you're funny."
"So what are you doing here?"
"I couldn't sleep." He said and yawned.
"Edward you can't keep coming here, one of these times Charlie is going to catch you, and we have school tomorrow."
"I just needed to make sure you were ok."
I got out of bed and hugged him; he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.
"Okay, what's got into you?"
He laughed, "I just watched a very scary movie, and the guys girlfriend died. I wanted to make sure you were still here in one piece." He said looking up through his eyelashes and giving me his crooked smile.
I laughed, "Well as you can see, I'm perfectly fine. So go home and I'll see you in the morning, key?"
He chuckled, "Yes mam." He said.
He gave me a quick kiss then left through the window. I climbed back into bed smiling. All of my dreams were about Edward that night.
