A/N: Hey guys! Due to the overwhelming response for Puppy Love, I decided to reward you guys with…(drumroll) CHAPTER 3! Okay, so here we go!
Disclaimer: Twilight Saga belongs to the awesome Stephenie Meyer. I own nothing but the plot.
Bella's POV
I lifted my face only to be bombarded by the loveliest pair of green eyes I have ever seen
Wow. I mean, just wow. That was probably the only word that could describe this man in front of me. The owner of these gorgeous eyes was probably the most beautiful guy on the entire planet, if you would call a guy beautiful. He had a chiseled jaw, flushed cheeks and long, soft eyelashes that were the frames to his beautiful green eyes that I can stare into all day long. His full lips stretched into a heartrending crooked grin, flashing a set of pearly white teeth. Another prominent feature was his odd but beautiful shade of bronze hair, as soft and smooth as silk. His expression was one of bemusement, irritation and some sort of weird emotion I cannot fathom. Seeing him made my heart skip a beat. I wonder why. I don't even know this guy! But somehow, as I lay have sprawled on him, a current ran through me. Not the sudden static shots, but some electricity that goes deeper in.
He stared directly into my eyes and smiled. At that very instance, at that very smile, I forgot that I was supposed to be angry with Katie. I forgot my troubles.
I forgot my name.
As I stared dumbly at him, he looked to his left and laughed. I looked at him as if he was insane. That's when he spoke.
"Looks like your dog decided to mate with mine." He chuckled, explaining. His voice was like music to my ears, as smooth and sweet as honey, dripping, sexily delicious. Woah there. What the hell is wrong with you, Bella? The nagger in my head spoke. Oh shut up, the prone-to-craziness voice spoke.
I whipped my head to my right, and saw what I really rather not see. Sexy Green Eyes' dog was sniffing at Katie's down there, and they were doing some weird humping movement. I gawked at that scene, before reason got into my head.
"Damn it! What the hell? Katie, no! Get away girl, get away! Didn't your mom teach you to not have freaking sex before you are married?" I yelled, reaching out to grab hold of her collar while scrambling up to my feet. Something pulled me back though, and I fell back down while halfway up. Strong hands grabbed on to my waist before I could fall flat on my face and humiliate myself for the second time in 5 minutes.
"In case you haven't noticed, miss, we are kind of tangled up in our dog's leashes." He pointed out in a tone that made me wonder if he thought I was mentally stupid for not realizing that fact. Which was quite true, since I was staring at him like a mentally retard.
"Call me Bella. Miss makes me feel old, and I'm NOT old" I said, starting to untangle the mass of leashes on my arms.
"Well then, call me Edward" Edward said, flashing me the crooked smile I have come to love in those few short minutes. His pale hands shot out to help me untangle myself. After a few minutes of it, I think we only managed to mess it up even more, even though I was usually a good unknotter. I shot a glance at the two dogs to make sure that they were one, not making out and two, that they were still there. They were, but they were indeed trying to make out again.
"Damn it, Kate! Stop it! What part of sex education do you need me to teach you, or is your hormones that uncontrollable?" I gripped. Edward snickered.
"What?" I asked. Edward said nothing but shook his head, cupping his hand over his mouth to squash out the snickers.
"What? Seriously, what?" I asked, confused to no ends. I'm pretty sure confusion was plastered on my face. My mom always said that I was a open book. Edward saw that look, but said nothing. I was getting a bit pissed by now.
"Seriously, Edward, what the hell is so funny?" I asked, no begged, shaking his shoulders. When he refused to speak, I smacked him on his shoulder. Hard. At this, he burst out laughing, not even bothering to control it or hide it anymore. He laughed so hard he was virtually shaking and trembling from head to toe. I gave him the eye and waited till he managed to control his laughter.
"Seriously, its nothing. Its just the way you talk to Katie. I mean, I have never, EVER seen anyone talk to their dog the way you did, definitely not with sex education!" He snickered. I felt my face turning red. It was so embarrassing that I have no control over my blushing. It came just so naturally and often.
"You are really pretty when you blush, you know" Edward threw in suddenly, but bit his tongue, as if he had said something he didn't want to say out loud. Whatever it is, that statement only caused me to flush a deeper tone of red.
"Well… I'll take that as a compliment!" I said cheekily, flashing him a quick grin.
"Haha. But I think that we should unleash our pets to make it easier to untangle ourselves" He said, all business again. Crap! I forgot we were tangled up! Talking to Edward made me lose track of everything, even though I don't know his full name.
"Okay" I agreed. Even though I hated to have to end this meeting so fast. He went about unclipping, unhooking and untangling while I sat there, made quite immobile by the leashes and the pain in my bashed up knees.
All too soon though, we were free. Edward stood up and stretched, and being such a gentlemen, offered me a hand.
"Ow ow ow ow ow" I whimpered. I finally got the guts to look down at my knees. Both knees were banged up pretty well. Large patches of red covered my knee and the bottom of it, while blood was starting to dry along the lengths of my leg. Blood was still pooling at the wound, which was about a 2.5 by 3.5 inch big with jagged tears along the lengths of it.
"Oh my fuck" I said, looking at a piece of leaf on the ground to avoid throwing up.
"You look pretty pale. Do you need to go to the hospital?" Edward asked, concerned. But I thought he was asking a rather redundant question. Of course I needed the damn hospital.
"Of course I do. What am I supposed to do, run and skip around with blood gushing out of my legs?" I asked sarcastically. Sheesh. He may be hot, but as for common sense… Nada.
Edward rolled his eyes. "Well, I'll drive you there. I know the doctor at the ER." He said, winking. I scowled. I have been to the ER more times then I can remember this year already. I don't think he would know the doctor there better then I did. I was practically a commodity there, an expected patient every week or so or even more.
"I can drive myself perfectly fine, okay" a little miffed. "Besides, I need to find my friend and our two other dogs." I continued.
Edward's face fell a little, and I immediately regretted sounding so, you know. "Well, let me call to see where he is right now" I said, whipping out my phone and promptly dropping it. Edward, by some means, managed to snag it before it crashed to the floor.
"Thanks." I said, when he handed me back my phone. That was when I realized the blood stains on his clothes.
"OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR SHIRT! SHIT!" I screamed, freaking out. The contrast of my blood on his spotless white shirt was too much for my pathetically weak stomach to bear.
"Chill, Bella. Its just blood." Edward replied, shrugging his shoulders indifferently.
"Its just blood? That's my blood! Oh my gosh! I am so so so sorry!" I garbled on and on. "Damn! Let me get you a shirt! I'm sure Jasper won't mind me borrowing a shirt." I rambled on, while punching in Jasper's number into my phone.
It only rang twice.
"Hello, Bells?"
"JASPER! Shit, I need your help now!"
"What happened?"
"Well, I was walking with Katie, then suddenly she dragged me along, I tripped and fell, but Kate continued dragging me along, so my knees are bashed up. Then I bumped into some guy and we got entangled up cos he had a dog with him too, and the two dogs were the one who dragged us along for this bullshit of a ride, so I bashed up my knees, and I got blood all over the guy, so I was wondering if I could grab one of your shirts and loan it to him." I rambled in one breathe.
"You do know you should have taken at least a breathe twice in that paragraph. How bad is your knee? Do you want me to come get you home? Oh, and I am fine with the shirt thing. Just make sure you don't give him my favorite shirt. You know what, I should come back. Who knows whether he might attempt to do something funny to you." Jasper said severely, lapsing into seriousness at the last sentence.
"Jasper, I'm not a kid anymore. But I do love your concern, you know that? So I'll be waiting for you at the track behind the field, I think I am about half a mile or so from the start"
"Sure. See you in a few"
"See you Jaz. Love ya." And with that I hung up. I whipped around to look at Edward.
"So, my best friend said he would come. Your dog is friendly, right?"
"Your best friend is a guy?" He asked quizzically. I stared at him as if he was some mental retard.
"What, you mean I cant have guy best friends? How sexist is that? Besides, you didn't answer my damn question!" I huffed.
Edward seemed to find my reaction comical. He grinned. I huffed.
"And which one would that be?" He asked with mock politeness.
"On whether your dog is friendly, you fucking douchbag." I muttered, annoyed to no end.
"Ouch. I think you just wounded my ego." Edward laughed, putting his hand over his heart in mock sadness.
"You…!" I started, speechless with fury. I could feel it in my eyes. If looks could kill… I thought.
"Chillax, sister. You are going to give yourself premature wrinkles and the likes" Edward snorted. "But, if I were to answer your question, yes he is. And he has a NAME. And why do you want to know anyway?" He asked, acting pissed.
Well well well. Two could play at the game, why not?
"Because, I have two other savage dogs who would love to do nothing better then rip out the throat of a friendly golden retriever called IT." I tossed my hair, turning away from him. I looked down at my sure to be scared knees. Sigh. This was going to be the biggest scars ever. I walked several steps down the track, before tripping. Again.
A pair of strong, well defined arms snarled around my waist, preventing me from scrapping my face as well.
"Thanks." I murmured, turning around to thank him. He was closer then I had expected. My breathe caught as I stared into his perfect face. His lips twisted into a kind smile.
"Well, would I be a gentlemen if I let you wreck your pretty face as well? And I sincerely apologize for my dog's behavior. As for the name, figure it out yourself" Edward smirked.
I narrowed my eyes, figuring that this probably wasn't the last time I banged into Edward something. Which made me realized I didn't know his surname.
"Hey, you never told me your surname. So it is?" I asked, trailing off at the end.
"Cullen. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Yours?" Edward said, letting me go and sticking out his right hand.
"Swan. Isabella Marie Swan." I said, grabbing his hand and shaking it.
