Let me know! Please enjoy and tell me what you think!
Chapter 24
I was really looking forward to our date tonight. Edward always knew how to make me feel better. Charlie had bought the whole 'I fell' thing that I made up. But he did look at the graffiti on my cast and frown. I waited patiently at the door for my knight in shining armour. I was in the mood for Chinese food tonight and I was sure Edward would oblige. I dressed in a black sparkly dress which was a bit on the short side. My hair was curly and styled to sit over my left shoulder. I had a silver purse and black platform heels. They were comfy and not that high so I could walk in them. My phone beeped and I had a text from Yvonne.
Have a good time tonight! Don't let my brother bore you too much :P x
I quickly typed back a message.
He never bores me, no matter what you think, and thanks! You have a good time doing… whatever you are going to do J x
I slipped my phone back in my purse as I heard Edward's Volvo pull up.
"Bye Dad!" I called out as I left the house. I strutted to the car, trying to look sexy. When I was halfway to the car I stumbled a little, but managed to keep myself up. When I looked back at the car, Edward was leaning against it, laughing. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers and a black suit jacket, rolled up at the sleeves. He walked quickly over to me and offered me his arm. I gratefully accepted it and he walked me to my side of the car.
"You look absolutely stunning tonight, Bella. Not that you don't always, but tonight you're just… wow," he said as he opened my door.
I strapped myself in and Edward was already belted in at his side.
"Well you don't look to shabby either," I teased him.
He smirked at me and then proceeded to step on the gas, blasting us down the road.
We parked the car and decided to take a walk down the pier before dinner. We were walking hand in hand and it felt so right. I couldn't imagine my life without Edward anymore. As we were walking, I saw two girls looking at me, pointing. There was a small ginger girl with long straight hair and a slightly taller blonde one with curly hair. They were whispering and giggling. I smiled, it was nice to be recognized. I had told Edward about my cravings for Chinese food, and so we walked to the only Chinese restaurant in town. I had sweet and sour chicken, my favourite. I noticed the two girls in the restaurant with us, still looking. It was a bit annoying now. I pointed them out to Edward, but he just shrugged and didn't say anything about them
"Can we walk to the store? I wanted to pick up something to surprise you," he smirked.
"Of course, and while you are there, I think you should get me ice cream," I joked.
"Any particular flavour?"
"Strawberry."
"Consider it done," he told me sincerely.
We walked to the front of the store. "I'll be two minutes, you stay out here," he warned me
"Ok."
"Stay safe, Bella." He leant down and kissed my lips.
"Edward, you said you would be two minutes! How could I get in trouble in two minutes!" I asked, laughing. He chuckled and went inside.
I looked around and checked my cell. I had another text from Yvonne.
I'm people watching tonight, spying on the town, finding out the scandals. It's actually more fun than you think! Did you know that Mike Newton has been secretly dating a girl from out of town that Jessica doesn't know about? He took her to a crappy restaurant and she doesn't look impressed :L When are you coming back here? x
As I finished reading the text, the two girls approached me.
"Ohmigod, you're Bella Swan!" the ginger one gasped. "I am your biggest fan!"
The blonde girl just nodded.
"Well, it's always nice to meet my fans," I told them, with a genuine smile on my face.
The blonde girl continued to nod. If she didn't stop soon, her head would probably fall off.
"Can we have you autograph? It would mean so much to us!" she gushed.
"Sure thing, do you have a pen?" I asked. The girl rummaged through her bag.
"Oh shoot, I don't have one. Sophie, do you have one?" the distressed girl said to the blonde.
"I left it in the car, remember? You said not to bother with it," Sophie said, clearly confused. Something told me she wasn't the brightest of people. "I usually have it in my 'Emergency Celebrity kit'," she told me.
"Well I didn't know that we would meet Bella Swan," the other girl said, clearly exasperated. Sophie looked confused yet again.
"Sorry, Jay," she muttered. What a strange name for a girl was my only thought on the matter.
"You know what, my boyfriend is just in the shop there, he could give us a pen when he comes out," I told them.
"No!" Jay shouted. "I mean, we have to be home soon. Could you come and get the pen from our car?" she said hopefully. I was a little taken aback by her first reaction, and I started to wonder what was up with this girl. I looked back at the shop. I figured Edward wouldn't miss me for a few minutes.
"Sure, why not!" I told them.
They looked happy. "Great. Great! This way!" Jay gestured.
They walked a few paces ahead of me as I quickly typed a reply to Yvonne.
Really? Lol. Will be back soon I think. Will text you more later, giving two girls my autograph J x
I quickly ran to catch up to them, having no time to open my purse so I quickly popped my phone into my bra. I had watched Jessica and Angie doing this in school sometimes so I figured now was the time to try it.
They led me over to where a red convertible sat. "This is my car!" Sophie giggled. "Isn't it great!" At the same moment a black jeep with tinted windows pulled into the space next to them. Out the corner of my eye I saw Jay tilt her head towards the jeep while looking at Sophie. A man got out the jeep. He had jet black hair and had a slightly rugged look. He was gorgeous. If I hadn't been in a relationship with the most beautiful man in the world, I would have been completely smitten with him. He had shades on and didn't even look over at the three of us, but continued to walk the way we had came.
The other two were staring at him as well. I cleared my throat. "I should probably be going back now, so do you mind opening the car?"
"Oh right, the keys! Got it!" Sophie was definitely ditzy. She rummaged in her bag for them as well. It was only now that I realised how beautiful she was. She had flawless skin and her laugh had tinkled like a chime. She was graceful when she walked, not at all clumsy like I expected her to be. She could almost be compared to Alice or Rosalie. But she had normal coloured eyes, completely different from them. They were a baby blue. Jay on the other hand was like any other teenage girl I knew. She had a spot on her cheek and her hair had a slight greasiness to it. I had no idea how these too opposites could be such close friends.
"I can't find them!" Sophie wailed.
"My boyfriend can give us a pen if you want to head back. He will probably be worried about me," I explained.
"Edward won't be worried, I'm sure he would understand," Jay said, glancing at me.
Suspicion and confusion washed over me then. "What's wrong?" Jay continued.
"I don't think I mentioned his name," I said, slowly. I didn't think it, I knew I didn't say Edward to them. Something in the back of my mind kept telling me to refer to him as 'my boyfriend'.
Jay looked calm but Sophie looked at me like a deer caught in headlights.
"I think it's time for me to go now," I said, inching backwards slowly.
"Are you sure? I would love your autograph," Jay looked down sadly.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I really do have to go." I turned round and started walking quickly, but they just let me go. I started to feel really stupid then. A part of my mind had convinced me that they were bad people and I should get away as fast as I could. I started to slow down. They had let me leave, wasn't that proof enough that they were just people off the street? I was at the far end of the car park, there was no point turning back round now, so I decided to continue. Suddenly, I was grabbed from behind and yanked backwards.
"Thought you could get away, didn't you?" A voice whispered menacingly in my ear. "But no. That's my favourite part, you see? Letting people start to leave, but then taking all their hope of ever escaping away."
Another pair of arms gagged me. The man from the Jeep came forward, grinning. A blindfold was then put over my eyes. And everything was black.
Either review or PM me to tell me if you want a second book! Thank you!
