I forgot about the disclaimer in the first chapter:
I own only the storyline, Ms. Meyer owns everything else.
Chapter 2
"Bella is that you?" I heard my dad call from the kitchen. I wondered sheepishly what he would have done if it was anyone else and laughed thinking of his reaction, like anyone was brave enough to wander into the chief of police's house uninvited.
"Of course it is dad, who else would it be?" I asked joking with him. I knew he was worried and was trying to smooth the way before I got to him. I glanced at the clock and realised it was just after six o'clock, how had I been lost for so long? I was still considering being grateful for Edward's chance meeting in the street, if chance it was.
"Well where have you been? I've been staring at that clock for the last two and a half hours!" A little over exaggerated I thought but I certainly wasn't voicing that thought, even if it was accidental getting lost, I knew he was still angry.
"Well I'm home now dad so lets leave it at that, so what are you doing in the kitchen? You know I took over the cooking after having fish for the last week." I laughed jovially. I knew mentioning food would soften Charlie up even if he was in a bad mood. Like my mum always said, a way to a man's heart is through food.
"I'm going upstairs dad, the truck wouldn't start so I had to walk home and I got lost." I gave my honest answer as quick as I could so I could go upstairs and think about what happened on my walk home. It was such a strange thing for him to do, he didn't even know me. I was so confused.
"Ok bells, I'll give you a lift to school tomorrow and ask Jake if he'll pick up your truck and have a look at it ok?" he smiled and I gave him a hug before I went upstairs, I could tell by the smell as I walked in that he had already made himself fish and I wasn't hungry so there was no point in hanging around downstairs.
As I lay down on my bed I wondered about Cullen's strange behaviour today. He hated me one minute and couldn't get away from me fast enough and the next he's kissing me, well you kissed him back the voice inside my head told me. I knew I had kissed him back. It was so unlike me. I sat up on my bed and went to open the window, I was feeling so warm, and thinking about his lips on mine didn't help.
Just as I reached the window a shadow passed by it, now over the past week I had gotten used to the shadows of trees that were outside my window, so I was not prepared for the shadow that passed by it just there. It was human in shape, but that was impossible, my window was upstairs so how in gods name could a human shape go past it? My heart was racing, my mind totally blank until it reacted and I thought about running for Charlie but then I laughed out loud, I was being foolish, it must have been a trick of the light, because the other option was just not possible.
I went back to my bed and grabbed my book, Wuthering Heights, and began to read, I slowly drifted off to sleep imagining the cool breeze that landed on my shoulders as my last thoughts began take the form of two dark eyes staring into mine.
