Chapter Thirteen; Girlie Screams
I now knew where I belonged, this was my crazy new family something I had always wanted. Sure, I have Renee and Phil but they are so distant to me, then Charlie, I love him but his heart really is with the station now. And I knew I am meant for Edward, something in my heart told me so. He is my soul mate.
"Bella I think I should get you home to Charlie, he may be worrying." Edward said placing a kiss on the top of my head making Alice, Rose, and Esme awe together.
"Oh before I forget next weekend we are all going to a photo shoot dress like you normally would nothing fancy, it's just something I do for my fan site. And Alice your coming over tonight Rose you can come to." I smiled at them as they nodded.
Edward took my hand and took me out to his Volvo. I took it upon myself to turn on the stereo and slip a random CD in not paying attention to what it was. Linkin Park. We drove in silence to much evolved into the lyrics. When we pulled into my driveway, Charlie was on the porch waiting for me. Edward helped me out again and walked me up to my father.
"How are you Bells?" Charlie asked. I knew he was asking about the paper. He looked a little angry or sad I was not too positive.
"Edward, I will talk to you on msn I promise." I said pecking him on the cheek and hoping he would get the hint and leave so I could talk to Charlie. He did.
I steered Charlie into the house and to the kitchen, and sat him down at the table and got him a coffee. I sat across from him with a hot chocolate steaming away. I looked down at my hands. He did not know I was dating anyone then again it did only happen yesterday. I really did not want him to find out through a newspaper article.
"Dad, I am fine really I'm used to this stuff now. I would like do talk to you about something though I wanted to bring it up but not in this sense, but now I have to." I told him.
"Go on." Was all he said, he knew it was coming. His little girl was moving on.
"Dad, Edward Cullen asked me to be his girlfriend last night, at the beach." I said looking down at the table again.
"Bells, I want you to be happy. If Edward make you happy I would stop you from seeing him or from him coming here, but if he does one thing just one little thing to hurt you, I will be after him." He stated.
"I understand, thank you dad." I said getting up and hugging him.
"Oh and Bells, Jacob Black called an hour ago, you may want to call him back." Charlie stated.
On my way up to my room I grabbed the cordless and phonebook. I looked up Wal-mart first and called the photo center to book Saturday, they were more than happy when they found out who I was. Next on my list was Jacob, I turned my computer on since it was so slow I was hoping it would load while I was on the phone.
"Hello?" Jake's voice came through the phone.
"Hey Jake its Bella what's up?"
"Your picture is in the paper here today with Cullen."
"Yeah so."
"I thought you didn't like him."
"We made up."
"Sure looks like it."
'Jake don't insult him. He is a nice guy and now my boyfriend."
"I just don't like him."
"Oh my, Jake. How's the baby?"
"The baby is fine"
"Great, I really cant wait for it to be born."
"Me either, well Bells I have to go bye."
There was a click then nothing. I logged onto msn for something to do not thinking Edward would be on but he was.
Bella: Hey Eddie:]
Edward: Don't call me Eddie, How did you talk go?
Bella: Better than expected, Just be warned if you hurt me watch out.
Edward: I would never hurt you Isabella you know that.
Bella: I do know that. So what are you up to?
Edward: Nothing much, Alice and Rose are on there way over now.
Bella: Great… Well I should go make food since I have not ate all day I might be back later bye.
I turned my computer off, and walked to the kitchen and went to the freezer and pulled out the chicken nugget and French fries. I put on enough to feed a army.
"Bella, why all the food?" Charlie asked.
"Alice and Rose are coming over so I have to feed them and then there is you and I." I told him.
"Rose is coming over." He said raising one eyebrow at me; clearly, he remembers Rose and I never did get along.
"Things have changed dad, Rose and I are slowly becoming friends." I smiled at him.
"That's great Bella. I wont be home tonight there is a lot I still have to work out so don't wreck the house tonight." He laughed
Oh the normal typical teen party where the underage drinkers get loaded and the house ends up trashed and the parents are forced to discipline the child and it never works. I would never let something like that happen. Why drink underage it never ends well.
"Dad, can I get a cat?" I said randomly. The thought came to me, winter was soon approaching and typically mice start coming and trying to find a place to hide and keep warm a cat would help with that problem.
"Why, Bells?" He asked.
"Well for one I want one, and two mice are going to start coming and a cat could help." I said giving him the eyes and pouty lip hoping it would work.
"Aw, don't look at me like that, of course you can get a cat just you are fully responsible for it." He stated, I grinned at him. Now I had a plan for Alice and Rose tonight.
Half an hour later Charlie was on his way out, the door as Alice and Rose pulled in with Alice's 911 Turbo porshe. Speed demon. I set all the food, which now included chocolate and other goodies besides the nuggets and fries. Rose was the first one in the door, followed by the pixie.
"Hey Bells." Alice literally pranced over and kissed my cheek.
"Hi, Alice Rose. I am glad you both came I came up with this strange idea. Rose, do you still want that cat you always wanted when you were younger?" I asked her.
"Yeah." She said looking down.
"Great and Alice are you allowed to have pets?" I asked her.
"Yep, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to." Alice smiled at me.
"Awesome, Ok after we eat we are going to the local pet shelter and adopting 3 kittens preferably ones that are related." I smiled hoping they would like the idea.
"That's great Bella, What did Charlie say about you having a kitten?" Alice asked popping a nugget in her mouth.
"As long as I look after it he doesn't care." I told her.
"Last night when Edward came home he looked so sad." Alice said.
"Oh I made him go home instead of coming in because I had to talk to Charlie and I really didn't want an audience while I was. I talked to him on msn after though." I told them leaning back on the couch.
"Ok." Rose stated.
We ate and chatted for about an hour before we started cleaning up the living room, I did not want the house to be a mess for my new kitten. Alice was bouncing on the couch and Rose looked giddy. I was just plain happy I actually had girlfriends to talk to now. Sure Jacob and Jasper are great but I needed this girl time.
"Thank you so much for coming over, I really needed this." I said to them.
"No problem Bella, your one of us now and nothing can take you away from us." Rose shocked me by saying this, and hugging me so tight.
We climbed into Alice's car and first drove to the pet store and bought 3 of every thing we needed for the kittens, I'm pretty sure the person to check us in thought we were nuts. Once we had that in the trunk, Alice raced off towards the shelter. Alice was a crazy driver. I was clutching onto the backseat for dear life when we finally stopped.
"You aren't going to drive like that when we get the kittens are you?" I asked her.
"No, I don't want them to get sick you look pretty green Bella." Alice laughed as we walked into the shelter.
I was hit with all this Barking and meowing. Alice, Rose and I walked up to the front desk where a middle-aged woman was sat looking at her computer.
"May I help you?" She asked without looking up from the screen.
"Yes, we were hoping on looking into adopting kittens and were wondering if we could have a look." I told her. She stood up.
"Follow me." Was all she said and she showed us to a room full of kittens. One drew me in the minute I saw him. His fur was bronze in colour, and his eyes were this bright green and he had a white crescent moon on his head. As soon as I picked him up, he started too purr.
"Guys I found the kitten for me." I said smiling as I looked up to see Alice and Rose each with a kitten in there arms.
"Those three came in together, and you three are the first to be able to go near them." The woman stated. I looked at Rose and Alice; these three kittens were out soul kittens. That sounds funny.
"We will take them." Rose said.
Two hours later and at least 50 sheets later, we were finally on the way home from the shelter. Alice flicked her phone at me.
"Call the guys to meet at your place they are all at my place having a guitar hero war I do believe." Alice stated.
I dialed the number and Edward picked up.
"What do you want Alice." He grumbled.
"I don't think that was a nice way to answer your girlfriend." I said trying not to laugh.
"Bella, is there anything wrong?" His voice full of concern.
"Nope, Alice want you Jasper and Emmett to meet at my place we have something to show you." I told him hanging up the phone.
"Does Edward always answer the phone like that when it's you?" I asked her.
"Pretty much." Alice stated. The rest of the ride home was silent. I looked at my kitten through the kennels cage, He looked so sad. He out his paw through the bars. I rubbed it trying to calm him down. When we got to the house Edward's Volvo was in the driveway behind my truck, Alice parked behind Rose's BMW. Jasper must have let them in since he had one of the spare keys. I passed Rose, Alice there kennels, and we walked into the house.
Emmett nearly bowled us down before we even had the chance to get our shoes off.
"What's the surprise?" He asked. I held up the cage to show him. He let out the girliest scream I have ever heard in my life. Jasper and Edward came running in to see what was going on.
"They got kittens." Was all Emmett could get out. I set the cage on the floor and took my kitten out. I looked up at Edward to see what he thought of him.
"He's adorable. What's his name?" He asked.
"I was hoping you could help me while Emmett helped Rose and Jazz helped Alice." I smiled up at him; I passed him the little creature.
"Gah, it's so tiny." Emmett boomed when Rose passed him her kitten.
I pulled Edward into the living room, sat in front of him both our legs spread to look like a diamond, and we placed the kitting in the diamond to walk around. He sat and purred.
"What to you think we should name him?" I asked. There was a knock at my door. I passed the kitten to Edward; he got up and followed me to the door. I was Mike Newton lovely.
"You're famous." He kinda screamed at me then went running. I closed the door.
"That was strange." Emmett said from behind us.
"Oddly strange." Alice piped in.
"Of course I will get all the nut jobs finding me now." I looked down on the floor.
The weekend passed with playing with Twilight, and now it was Monday the first time I have left him since Saturday I put him in the cage so he would not get into anything while I was in school. I was really dreading going in today. All the people swamping me oh the fun. I pulled on a pair of faded jeans and black t-shirt and pulled my hair into a ponytail then grabbed my bag.
"I'm gone Dad." I yelled out to him. It was his day off today.
My truck was deathly slow today, when I finally got to school Edward was waiting outside his Volvo and there was a spot for my truck right next to it. Edward was pulling the door open for me before I even had the truck off. Once he had me out, he closed the door, pushed me against the door, and placed a soft kiss on my lips. When he pulled away, he put his forehead on mine.
"Bella, be warned you are going to be asked a million questions. I have already." Edward said taking my hand and taking my bag from me and easily throwing it over his shoulder.
