Sorry about not updating for so long, i have been having some serious trouble with computer this week but it seems to have gotten it's act together now. So on with the story...
EPOV
Tanya pulled me over to a table in the corner. It was secluded and out of the way, the perfect place in my opinion. I took the seat that faced the door and Tanya took one opposite me. I don't know why I took the seat, did I want to see Bella? Was I that eager? No, no I wasn't. Just nervous that's all.
We sat there for three minutes and 36 seconds, but it felt longer. Finally the door of the café opened and I automatically looked over.
There she was.
She stood there in the doorway, scanning the room. It was an odd feeling. Like I zoned onto her and all of a sudden I couldn't see anything or anyone else.
She was different. Her hair was a lot shorter and she was wearing make-up now. But I had to admit I liked this new look on her. I was also drawn to what she was wearing, the skinny jeans and a KISS T-shirt. The Bella I knew only knew one song by the band, it made me realise that I really didn't know the girl standing in front of me.
Our eyes met across the café. Her eyes hadn't changed. Still the beautiful chocolate brown a knew I could never forget, and believe me I had tried. We just stared for a moment, trying to get over the shock of it all, but after a minute she shook her head slightly and bent down.
There was my son next to his mother. He looked so happy to be with her and I could see that he was gripping her hand firmly. She was talking to him and then pointed over to me. Jamie looked over at me and nodded his head, he then began to pull Bella over to wear I was sat. I could no longer control the grin that spread across my face. Jamie always made me smile with the way he would take over a situation. Sometimes it was easy to forget how old he was because his heart was so big. He was truly my pride and joy.
I stood up when she reached the table, to greet her. "Edward." she said to me politely. Her voice still sounded like bells and it took all I had not to grin at it.
"Hi there, Bella." I greeted her as a crooked polite smile appeared on my face. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of someone clearing their throats. I reluctantly turned toward it and realised it had been Tanya. Shit! "Oh! Sorry, Bella this is Tanya."
"His fiancée." Tanya added with a smile. "So you must be Bella." There was something within Tanya's tone that bothered me a little but I passed it off as my imagination.
"Nice to meet you." Bella said has she stuck her hand out towards Tanya. Tanya slowly pushed her chair back and stood up to face Bella, making a show of flicking her hair back before shaking her hand.
"Charmed, I'm sure." she said in return. I knew Tanya well and therefore knew that she was warning Bella off and I wasn't sure how I felt about this. But it clearly had no effect on Bella, she stood there unfazed and completely not bothered, but the tension was thick in the air.
So I kneeled down and gave my son the biggest hug I could manage and then picked him up. He smiled at me and I kissed him on the cheek. I never had to try with Jamie our relationship just came naturally. I like to think that we were similar, that he took after me. But standing there facing Bella, it was clear that he was his mothers son, I had just been in denial over it.
Tanya moved her chair so close to me that she was practically sitting on my lap, awhile Bella sat across the table me and Jamie between the two of us.
"So, Bella I want to hear all about you! Everything! So start from the beginning, you know when you left Washington." Tanya told Bella. I knew this was a little rude and reallly applying pressure to Bella but I had to admit I was really interested and therefore couldn't find it within myself to apply the breaks to Tanya's interrogation.
"Believe me its really not interesting."
"Please Mama! I want to hear the story." Jamie whined. He then turned to me with wide eyes, "It's really cool." So Bella had told her story to our son. I felt a pang of jealousy that others knew her so well yet I felt like she was a stranger.
It appeared that Jamie had the ability to persuade his mother. "If you insist little man." She laughed. She took a deep breath and began, "Well it all started just over three years ago…"
So i thought we have heard what Edward has been doing with his time over the last few years, what about Bella? IS that a good idea?
Please drop me a review and let me know what you think.
THANKS!
