(A few month later)
The light woke me up in the morning. I stretched reaching for Edward. But, he wasn't there. Then I remembered him whispering goodnight to me before he left last night. Ever since we started dating he would come over and stay with me some nights. I always slept so peaceful when he was around.
I got up and showered I decided to wear my blue sweater dress and my white uggs. I put on a head band and let my hair hang wavy. I had only had my journalism class today and then I was supposed to be meeting up with Alice and Rose for lunch at one. I decide to leave early and hit the library before class to catch up on work.
I was walking when my phone beeped
Edward: morning love, sorry I had to leave last night but I had some homework left and early classes.
Bella: morning… its ok I miss u
Edward: miss u 2 ttul love u
I smiled I loved hearing him say he loved me. It was the best feeling ever. I was putting my phone in my bag when I bumped into someone. I looked up to see it was Jacob. I groaned and kept walking.
"Wait Bells," he said. "Can we talk?"
"What do u want Jacob I don exist remember?" I said.
"Look Bells…"
"Its Bella," I corrected.
"Bella I'm really sorry for what I said and I'm sorry I hurt you," he said.
"Oh really why are you sorry what happened did all your new friends drop you like a bad habit?" I questioned.
"No not exactly, I dropped them I realized that they were all fake and I missed my old friends. And well I missed you most of all," he frowned. "Look Bella I am really sorry for what I did would you give me another chance please?"
"Look Jake ill think about it I got to go bye," I said, and walked away.
I went down to the lower levels of the library it was quieter down there. Not a lot of people. I found a table and got in the zone. The day seemed to fly by. Next thing I knew I was at an Italian restaurant near campus waiting for Alice and rose. When I got a text.
Edward: I miss you
Bella: miss u 2 ... how's work so far?
Edward: its ok it would be better with you here
Bella: I will be in a bit
Edward: how your day?
Bella: its been ok I guess I ran into my old friend Jacob
Edward: that's nice
Bella: not really cause were not really friends any more
Edward: oh I'm sorry love are you ok?
Bella: yeah I'm fine… Alice and rose are her ill ttul
Edward: ok see you soon
Edward: oh yeah one more thing take care of my heart I left it with you
. "Ok missy put away the phone this is girl time no boys allowed," Alice said, as she sit down.
"Sorry," I smiled.
"Hey bells," Rose asked taking off her jacket. "You look down what's wrong?"
"Nothing it's just I ran into Jacob today and he told me that he wanted to be friends again and I don't know what I want to do," I said.
"What did you say when he asked you?" rose asked.
"I said I'd have to think about it."
"I say you give Jacob a chance to be friends again," Alice said. "You've know Jacob to long and he deserves another chance. But, just be careful."
"I say no you're at your quota for second chances for the year being with Edward," Rose argued.
"You really need to lay off Edward people change and he hasn't hurt me and a he won't so chill ok?" I replied. Rose never liked the fact I was with Edward, and she was very open about her feelings on the subject.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean that in a bad way like you think. It's just I think you have a problem with standing up to people who hurt you. Jacob being one and I think you need to tell him no at least for now so he will learn a lesson," rose smiled.
"Hi my name is mike and will be your server for the leaving can I start you off with drinks?" the waiter asked interrupting us.
"We'll have cokes all around and some salad to start. Then a family plat of your mushroom ravioli." Alice replied.
"Uh ok," he said grabbing our menus.
"Oh my gosh Bella he was totally checking you out when he walked up," Alice snickered.
"No he didn't," I said rolling my eyes.
"Did to," Rose added.
He brought back our salad then asking me a few times before he left if I need anything else. I imagined him with a wagging tail. I was Sure that Alice and rose where right. We ate and chatted about what was new with them. Alice entered in this contest at school to win a chance to spend a semester in Paris studying fashion at the top design school in the world. And rose landed a lead role in the musical rent. She was nervous because this was her ticket to Broadway. We were finishing dessert when mike brought the check Alice snatched the bill putting in her credit card and handing it back to him before he left the table.
"Thanks Alice, you didn't have to," I said.
"No problem," she smiled. Just then mike returned her receipt and left.
"He left you his number," Rose laughed, snatching the paper from Alice.
"Are you kidding me?"
"No look," rose snickered.
She handed me the small paper with his number on it addressed to the brown eyed girl. I ripped it up. And grabbed my jacket. We where walking out when I realized I forgot my purse I said good bye to rose and Alice and went back to grab my purse. I left out the restaurant and started to walk to the book store it was twilight and this part of town was deserted. When I notice someone walking behind me keeping the same pace as me. I turned to glance it was the waiter from the restaurant. I just kept walking I sped my pace up a little and so did he.
I turned the corner I was in front of book store when I tripped on the curb and fell. I was getting up when I felt arms snake around my waist and help me up. I turned to see it was mike.
"Finally I caught you," he said. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine why are you fallowing me?" I asked.
"Oh I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out with me tomorrow." He replied.
"Sorry mike is it?" I said. "I have a boyfriend"
"So I have a girlfriend they don't have to know," he said brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. I flinched back at his touch. He made my skin crawl.
"Bella, love are you ok?" Edwards voice called from behind me.
"Yes I'm fine mike here was just leaving," I replied.
"Ok I'll leave for now sweet thing," mike said causing Edward to growl. "Call me if you want to take me up on my offer."
"Don't hold your breath on that, no wait, do hold your breath," I said angrily repulsed by him.
Mike left and I turned to Edward he was angry I could see that his eyes where dark. And he was pinching the bridge of his nose. I wrapped my arms around his waist. Then I kissed his cheek his expression seemed to soften. And he pulled me closer leaning down to so gently kiss my lips.
"I hate that guy," Edward growled.
"Calm down he's harmless it over lets go to work," I said. Pulling him with no luck of him moving.
"He's not harmless he's the reason Lauren left me. That's her new boyfriend. What could she see in him and now he's going after you like he's trying to take what's mine again."Edward said. His words burning me. He sounded as though he still had feelings for Lauren. I began to wonder if I was the rebound. What if I was what would I do? What if Lauren came back would he want her? my stomach began to turn at the thought.
