Chapter 7
"S-Seven then?" I asked, getting out of the car. "Seven." he nodded as I shut the door and took a few steps back. I gave him a small wave before he shot down the street. I smiled to myself as I walked into the house, my thoughts drifting back to his laugh
B.P.O.V
I strolled ,more like tripped, into the kitched hearing the phone ring. I frowned, as it broke into my day dreams of Edward's laugh. "Hello?" I asked, picking it up. "Hey Bella!" Angela's voice rang into my ear. "Oh hey Angela! What's up?" I asked, hearing her heavy breathes from the other end. "Did you just go for a jog?" I blurted out without realizing it.
"Um…sort of, my car broke down, so I had to run the rest of the way home." She laughed. "Oh, do you need a ride to school tomorrow?" I asked her, shifting my wait from one leg to the other. "No, Jess has that. I called because I heard a rumor about you…and Cull-Edward." she stopped when she was about to say 'Cullen' knowing that I got mad if she didn't use his first name.
"A rumor?" I gasped, narrowing my eyes in suspicion "About what?" I said becoming apprehensive.
"I heard that you two were going out." she whispered into the phone, glad that there was a seat behind me, because I needed to sit when she said that. "And where'd you hear that?" I breathed. 'What should I say?' I tried to think straight but my thoughts kept drifting back to that crooked smile of his.
"From Lauren…is it true?" That question caught me off guard. "Um…Hang on Ang, I'll have to call you back." I mumbled, as I heard Charlie step into the door. "You can tell me at lunch tomorrow." She said hanging up.
"Bells?" Charlie's voice rung into my ear as I put the phone down. "In here Dad!" I yelled so he could hear me. I heard him put his gun down into it's holder, then heavy footsteps walk towards the kitchen.
" I heard something about you today." He said, his tone was restrained. I wondered why. "About?" I asked, my eyes going wide as I remembered what Angela had just told me.
"Don't get mad at me if it's not true Bells…I heard y-you and Edward were d-dating." He gulped at the last word, my eyes grew wide. There really was no secrets in Forks!
"Dad, he's my best friend!" I yelled at him, not knowing what else to say. "So it's not true?" Hs tone was relieved. "Of course not!" I said in disbelief. He sighed.
"Sorry, Bells I just thought that…never mind." he said turning towards the couch. "It's okay." I groaned, I'll have to tell Edward about this. ..
"Hey dad I'm going to go out with Angela tonight at seven, is that okay?" I asked covering up that I was going on a 'date' with Edward, I was going to tell him before, but now since I just denied it I didn't think I could go without him getting suspicious.
"Yeah, that's fine Bells." Charlie sighed in relief sitting down on the couch he turned the T.V on. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, making him blush, then went upstairs to call Angela and tell her my plan….
"Please Angela!" I begged, for her to cover for me. "Please!" I heard her sigh on the other side of the phone. "Fine…but you're going to tell me every detail about it tomorrow, if I don't see it!" she laughed, agreeing to my plan.
"Thank you…Wait you're going to be there?" I breathed out. "Yeah, Ben's taking me to see that new movie…what's it's name?…I forget, it's the one about vampires or whatever." she paused trying to think of the name.
"Well I don't know what it's called but whatever, he likes horror movies……Have fun receiving glares from Lauren tonight." Angela said her tone sarcastic.
"Ugh!" I groaned into the phone, she laughed. "I have to go Bella, see you tonight…maybe." she said and hung up the phone.
"Glad that that's over with." I whispered to myself, standing up off of my bed, I put the phone back down, then it rung again. "Bella! Edward's on the phone!" Charlie's voice boomed up the stairs.
"Okay! Thanks dad!" I said picking up the phone, again. "Edward?" I asked, listening into the phone to try and hear his breathing, there was nothing there. "You told Charlie you're going out with Angela tonight?" his voice seemed to have amusement in it.
"How'd you know I-……Alice." I stopped mid sentence remembering what Alice could do, I rolled my eyes. He laughed.
"Leave your window open, I'll get you when it's time to g-." He started to say but I cut him off. "No it's okay, I can just drive to your house." I said, not wanting Charlie to suspect something, by Edward's silver Volvo being in the drive way…that would definitely give us away.
"You're sure? I can just co-." I stopped him again. "Edward, I think he would get a little suspicious if your Volvo was parked in my driveway." I laughed, thinking of Charlie's face if that happened.
I heard a loud bang in the background, and flinched. " Fine." he seemed distracted. "What's going on over there anyways?" I asked, there was a scream from Esme in the background.
"Jasper and Emmett are wrestling." Another crash. "They just broke a table." he snickered. "W-What?" My eyes went wide as I tried to picture it. "I have to go, I'll tell you later." he promised, I could here Alice screeching at him. I laughed. "Bye Edward." I said and hung up the phone.
6:00 pm.
"Hey dad who was that?" I asked Charlie, as I went down the stairs. " Billy…he invited me over for dinner and to watch tonight's game with him." his eyes turned nervous. "Will you be okay while I'm gone?" he asked looking at me, putting down the phone.
"Yeah, I'll be find E-Angela is expecting me to drive to her house in an hour anyways." I said, reassuring him that I won't be in the house much longer, almost slipping as I did. He nodded his head.
"When are you leaving?" I asked, walking to the kitchen counter. "The game isn't until 8, so I'm going to leave in about 45 minutes, for dinner, then stay for the game, I should be back at 10." he said strolling over to the couch, taking the remote in his hand, he plopped down. "Okay." I smiled at him.
"What are you and Angela doing tonight?" he asked me, probably out of mild curiosity. "We're just going to go see a movie." I shrugged, it wasn't a lie, I am going to go see a movie…and Angela is going to be in there.
"Oh, what movie are you going to see?" Charlie said, paying more attention to the T.V. "Um…We're going to see when we get there." I said shrugging, right what are we going to see? "Ah." was his answer.
6:45 pm
"Bye Bella!" Charlie's voice flew into the house. "Bye dad! Have fun! Say hi to Jake for me!" I leaned out the window to wave at Charlie.
He turned out of the driveway and waved back before driving down the street. I smiled. 'Time to get ready.' I thought to myself, skipping down the hall to my room.
I didn't know what had gotten into me as I pulled out a necklace Edward had given to me for my birthday last year, he knows I hate jewelry. I looked at it for the first time in months, admiring its beauty.
It was a silver half off a heart that said, 'Edward', he had the other half, saying 'Bella'. I smiled, latching the necklace around my neck, and pushed the drawer back in it's place, looking up at the mirror, I frowned.
My hair was a mess! I grabbed my brush quick and started to brush out my hair, making it neater. It looked good enough, I shrugged turning around and gasped.
"Edward!!" I shrieked in surprise falling backwards. He was there in a second, I only knew this because I fell into a pair of ice cold arms. My eyes were still shut closed when he stood me up right.
"Sorry." he said , I opened my eyes to see his amused face. I glared at him. He laughed. "I really am sorry." he gave me an apologetic look, I sighed.
"Ready to go?" Edward asked, glancing at the clock, and turning his attention back to me with one of his crooked smiles which once again left me breathless. I nodded my head.
"I-I thought I told you I'd d-drive to your house." I said, finding my voice, which was still in an Edward-dazzled-me-again state. He laughed, and began to drag me to the door.
"Alice, saw that Charlie already left so I just thought I'd pick you up." he shrugged. "Okay, just let me leave a note downstairs." I smiled at him. "Okay." he smiled letting go of me when he realized I was still in his arms.
E.P.O.V
I followed her down the stairs, while devising a plan to make Newton jealous. One thing I knew, he would have to be somewhere close to us, so he could see Bella and I. I watch Bella cross the kitchen to a drawer. She picked up a pen and opened the drawer pulling out a piece of paper. Even from here I could read her writing.
-Dad
Angela came over, and picked me up, so my truck's at home.
"Tell him you're going to stay over her house tonight, I want to show you something." I said smiling at her. She looked at me questionably but wrote it down anyways.
I'm going to sleep over her house tonight so you don't have to wait up for me. I love you.
-Bella
"I should probably get my backpack then." Bella said turning back to me, I wished I could read her thoughts right then, as I did every moment I was around her.
"Where is it?" I asked looking around for it. "My room." she said walking over to the stairs her eyes locked in mine. I smiled and ran past her, flying into her room with vampire speed.
I spotted her backpack next to her bed and grabbed it and was standing in front of her in a matter of seconds. I grasped her hands before she could step back and fall down the stairs.
"How did you d-." I pressed a finger to her lips, her eyes wide with amazement, not a spot of fear in them. I mentally sighed in relief, and relaxed a little more. "I'll explain later, right now." I put her backpack into one of my hands, and held the other one out for her. "We have to go." I smiled at the excitement and mischief in her eyes….Review time!
