7th chapter so this is the next day back at school for Bella and Edward- could there instincts have been right? Maybe Jacob really did see them together.. oooOOOoooo :L anyways so i hope you enjoy this chapter
Bella;
When i had fallen asleep at the meadow i had dreamt of being watched whilst me and Edward were together. Jacob had come out of the shadows in my dream and had started shouting at me. I told him that i didnt want him and that Edward was the one for me, when i woke i saw Edward looking down on me, amused. I asked him if he thought that Jake had been watching; he denied it but i saw the hint of doubt on his face. I had to be extra careful in the morning. I got up, did the necessary and went out to my truck. I soon realised that Charlies cruiser was still there- but i shrugged it off, he was probably having an off day again. When i got to school, i looked up to see Jake standing outside my window.
I smiled "Hey Jake!" i said enthusiastically
When he didnt smile back i realised something was up. "Bella? Can i ask you something?"
"Sure Jake, what's up?"
"Erm, see, the thing is.. well, i thought, that, you erm, maybe.." I looked at him confused- before it hit home.. oh dear, i thought. He had seen us! But my suspicions quickly fell when he asked me out for a date. Well that was lucky, i wouldnt have to explain to him why i wanted a date so bad.
"Sure thing! Its about time, we've been going out for what? A month? Its great that were finally going on one!" I said as happily as i could- i was sure hed seen through me; but he said nothing and gave me a tight smile as we walked to Bioligy together.
I noticed the reluctance as he kissed me goodbye- but chose to ignore it, he was probably nervous about the date. As was i. I walked in to see Edwards beaming face. I looked at him, confused
"Bella!" He exclaimed
"erm..Edward.." I replied extremely confused.
He looked at me like i was crazy, "What's up, Bella?"
Just then i heard Mike laughing "Yeeeaaaahhh Belly bob.. whats up?!"
I was about to turn and sit silently for the rest of the lesson- blinking away the tears, I expected for Edward to agree with him and go back to his selfish, bullying ways. But what he did was the exact opposite "Shut the frick up, Newt."
He looked shocked, for a second. Before he realised that I was the new 'in' thing, licking his lips at me he said "Bella, Bella." Ugh, shivers went up my spine- the way he said my name was painful to the ears- and he left a trail of drool over his upper lip- like a snail had been there.
"Mike, if you dare call her that again, that toungue of yours will be safely sealed inside your mouth, forever- well, at least until you can take the duct tape off." He chuckled.
Mike scowled and turned around. I looked at Edward, shocked. Smiling down at me he said "Bella, im different, i thought i told you. Its just things like that," He pointed at Mike "That seriously get on my nerves."
I giggled, which shocked me. I just wasnt the giggling type.. me giggling seemed to make him grin unevenly, "Your hot when you giggle."
Blushing, i answered "Jake hasnt given me his date, yet. When he does ill be sure to tell you when you can say things like that to me." I bit my lip. He didnt know how much i wished he would. But i had to remember that i was in a relationship- and i couldnt lie to Jake. I would not cheat on him.
He grimaced "Bella, we told eachother how we feel- surely Wet dog doesnt even fit to where we are now-" i cut him short
"It doesnt matter. Hes still my best friend and i will not hurt him. So dont make me do something that i simply will not do." I sighed
He looked away, and when i tried to put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him, he turned around and gave me the most hurt expression i think i had ever seen.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, "but, ive known him all my life- hes never done anything to hurt me, and was there when someone did."
He nodded "Dont mind me. Im just overreacting, ive waited so long for you to realise, and now you have- you refuse to give in. I just dont get it,"
"You wont have to wait much longer."
"I know." He grinned
And then the bell went; i smiled secretly; thank god that was over. It had started to get beyond the reason of awkwardness. as i made my way to gym, i realised that Edward was walking with me.
"Erm, Edward?" I asked
"Yeah?" He grinned
"dont you think rumours will start flying if you walk with me to every lesson?"
"Seriously, Bella idont get-"
"Just let me talk to Jake about it, ok?"
He sighed in defeat "Fine."
Now- time to learn how to fall over, maybe see you in the lunch hall?"
He chuckled "Sure- why not. Will Buster be sitting with us?"
"Seriously- why do you keep refering to him as a dog!?"
He tapped his nose "Thats for me to know. And you to find out." He crookedly grinned. I closed my eyes, i loved that grin. So pure, so genuine, so.. so.. Edward. I smiled to myself at the thought of his name. I just wanted to be done with all this shit so it could just be me and Edward once again, but i knew it would never happen
"By the way, Bella," He said just as i was going through the gym doors, i looked up "Alice will be at yours when you get home, second date in a row, look whos turned out to be quite the popular girl." He teased
I rolled my eyes and got ready to be harmed (By myself) and to harm. Well, i can just hope that people stay away from me.
Gym passed quickly enough as did the rest of the day, Alice,Edward, Emmett and Jasper werent there- id make sure to ask Alice when i got home. and as i got into my truck i saw Jake running up to the window,
"Bella! I thought i missed you! I forgot to say, i'll pick you up from your house tonight at 8?" He panted as i rolled down the window
"8's good, ill see you then." I beamed; it looked as though he was about to say something 'cause he hesistated, but shrugged and turned around.
I hoped he liked dissappointment, because tonight was the only night i would probably ever spend with him, at all. I snickered
'WHOA HOLD UP. WHEN DID I, BELLA SWAN GET SO NASTY!?' i thought to myself, shocked at the sudden change in attitude id taken since being around Edward. Of course i cared and i would remember his hurt expression- it will haunt me for the rest of my life- while im away from Edward. Whilst with Edward all my troubles disappear. Yep; it was imprinted in my mind and i could see no other thing. In capitals on my mind were the letters E-D-W-A-R-D-S the same was on my heart, my arms, my legs, my stomach- everything was his. And hed never done anything for it. It was just his. Embedded in my nerves was the need for him. I could not live, could not sleep, could not eat without him. Sure Jake was great and my trusty best friend and partner in crime. But he'd never feel the way i did for Edward. Never ever ever never.
I got out the door, and, sure enough Alice was there- with only 2 bags, but i was sure these were for me.
"Hey Alice, hey Char- Dad." I sighed as i came through the door, Alice, being Alice, skipped graciously to my side. "Hey Bella! Look, we've gotto get you ready much faster this time. Hes picking you up at 8, right?"
How in the hell did she know these things.. "Alice.. How-" I started but was quickly interrupted as she spoke over me
"Lets just say he needed a little help in fixing it all up.." Meaning she set up the whole date for me. Great- i was going on an Alice/Jasper date. This didnt feel right. At All.
I grunted as i made my way up the stairs. i led her into myroom and sat on my bed. it wasnt until i looked around that i saw my Greek God standing in the corner.
"E-edward. What in God's name are you doing here!?" (A/n sorry my 'posh' side came out there.. :L:L x) I almost screamed at him
"Shh Bella. I think its only fair to see whats almost mine at the end of a long, hard day." I raised an eyebrow, surely he hadnt been involved in this aswell!?
"Erm, Edward- number one since when did i say you could just waltz into my house like its your own!? And 2 hard day doing what!? You werent at school at lunch."
He winked at me "Lets just say i was being a good samariton and helping Alice with the date."
I raised an eyebrow "Doing what? Sabotaging the whole thing!? You know who i'll pick anyway." I said whilst giving him a peck on the lip.
He gave me his grin and said "Thats me, right?"
I nodded and shooed him out the room "But im not yours yet- so no way am i letting you see me get ready."
"But-"
"No Freaking way."
He hesitantly walked out the room and a laughed as he walked out. But quickly quietened down as Alice came in "Alice? How is your brother going to get out without Charlie noticing?"
"Oh, hes not going out; when your gone hes climbing back out through the window." She rolled her eyes "God knows how he'll do it- but thats how he got in."
Great- so now, Edward was going to see me get dressed up for another guy. My heart sunk- knowing it should only be him that i dress for.
By the time Alice had finished i looked in the mirror and sighed; i looked no where near as great as i had for Edwards date- but i did look reasonable.
Alice had just left my hair as it was and worked with it- she had blow dryed it in a different way so it looked as though i'd put some sort of effort into it. She had dressed me in a high waist, silk skirt which ended about an inch above the knee (Much like the dress) and she had tucked a plain white top into it. The skirt was black so i was Black and white that night. She put skin coloured tights on me to make my legs look better and she had given me some black pumps. With my make-up she had just put some peachy lipgloss on and some mascara,she was obviously going for the natural look. Once again i looked at her with thanks, without Alice i would most definately look terrible at all dates. I smiled down at her as she looked at me with satisfaction.
"Edward." Alice whispered "Time for you to go now."
He strolled graciously through the door and smirked at me "You looked better with me, but Bella- you still look amazing, and im so happy because- after tonight you will be mine and ive been fighting for so long." He grabbed me in a bone breaking hug and kissed my hair.
He saluted me before climbing out the window. I looked down to see him running to his volvo and sighed. I checked my watch- it was 7-00, great- another hour. I had to think of how to let Jake down witha mattress, although i wanted to be with Edward, i didnt want to hurt Jacob in doing so.
I decided to let Jake down slowly i had it all planned out in my head
*PLANNING IN HEAD BIT*
Jake picks me up "Hey Jake "Hey Bella" Says he
Out at dinner "Hey Jake?" "Yeah Bella?" Looks at me with loving eyes this will be ssoooo hard
"Jake, its not working im im in love with someone else.. can we still be friends?" "Sure, why not? I mean this guy must be lucky!" He chuckles
*END OF PLANNING IN HEAD BIT*
that was my plan. I had an idea that it probably wouldnt be as easy as that though; infact- i had more than an idea. I Knew it wouldnt work. But i just couldnt accept that small(large) fact.
And then the doorbell rang.
