Chapter 5
When Brendan, Edward and I were in Edward's Aston Martin and zooming down the street to my house, I announced that I might have to go inside first and tell mum that they were coming. So when we pulled up outside my door, I grabbed my key and opened the door, mum was sleeping on the couch. I groaned and dragged her until she was completely off the couch and then dropped her. She landed with a grunt and I apologized and explained the situation with her. She agreed but needed to rush upstairs to fix herself up until she was appropriate for visitors.
I led Brendan and Edward in and they sat patiently on the couch until mum came downstairs wearing a pair of Tracksuit pants and grey sweat shirt. I sighed and led my mum back upstairs and redressed her. She seriously hadn't had any visitors in so long that she'd forgotten how to dress!
"Mum, if you haven't noticed I am trying to make a good impression here. Now you have to dress more appropriately when visitors come around!" I complained.
"Leish, I'm sure Brendan likes you enough to care about what your mother is wearing!"
I didn't really want to say this until the most crucial moment but I had to tell her. "It's not Brendan I'm trying to impress; it's his father, Edward Cullen."
"D-d-did you just say E-Edward Cullen?!" she said as she crippled over into a ball clutching her torso.
"Mum, mum? What's wrong?"
"Edward was my high school Sweetheart, but it couldn't possibly be the Edward Cullen. But even if it isn't I'm not going back down, it hurts too much."
I repressed a deep sigh and said "Mum either you go down there, or I bring him up here! Now get something decent on and I'll see you down stairs!"
I raced downstairs and sat gleefully on Brendan's lap. His father interrupted me examining Brendan's perfect features.
"E-excuse me Aleisha, but what is your mother's name?" he asked
"Oh, of course how silly of me not to introduce you, her name is Isabella, but she likes Bella. Speaking of her here she comes" I said as I stared idly at the staircase. She was wearing a dark blue blouse and a black knee-length skirt with her hair out. This was the nicest I'd ever seen her.
"Mum this is Edward Cullen, and Edward this is Bella Swan." I introduced clearly.
I heard a gasp from Edward a soon as mum had reached to bottom step. "Hello Bella, It's nice to see you again."
"Yes you too, Edward" she replied curtly.
"Again?!" Brendan asked in surprise.
I sighed again and said "Oh, let me explain…"
