A/N: Sorry, I haven't updated for a while. It's tournament week, and you readers might not like hearing that term as you read on…if you read on. Tournament week is just this thing for Speech and Debate, I get home at around 6 in the evening, and with so much homework left to do, I have no time to write anymore.
And since today is Veterans Day, I had school of and took the time to write a chapter, OH and get the flu shot! Yay! I also saw an 8 min Twilight movie clip on YouTube it was quite interesting. And it was bad quality with humans screaming and laughing in the background, so it sounded like a comedy show. But, I have to say it's going to be a good/funny movie. And seriously, they made some parts funny! Haha it's a comedy/drama!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight!!!
Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight and Edward Cullen
And Edward Cullen owns………a puppy! Dude! Think about this 'a vampire dog' haha!
A Whole New World
Chapter 6: Vacation on a Ranch
Special guest star: Tanya Denali
Bella POV
I looked at the clock one more time, and saw the bright red letters blinking 3:30 a.m.
I was worried about Edward. He always would call me when he reached home late, so I wouldn't worry…
Maybe I should call him? No, no, no I don't want to intrude….
Make up your mind Bella!!
I quickly put Muffy, the cat Edward got me, and pulled out my cell phone.
While dialing his number, I went outside for some fresh air, putting the phone to my ear and holding Muffy is one hand, heck she could fit in the palm of my hand.
It started to ring a few times, until I heard a click from the other line.
"Hello" said a velvety voice
"Hey, you didn't call me, did you get back home" I said
"Yeah, sorry I just came through the door" he replied
I laughed, "So aren't you going to tell me what happened"
"No" he said quickly
"Oh come on!" I pressed, he chuckled
"She's really great, we're watching a movie tomorrow" he quickly said
"What movie?" I asked, you have to take a girl to the perfect movie, so she actually likes the guy
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it" he said like I was crazy
"Edward! You need to take her to a good movie no the crappy ones you take me to" I scolded
"I do not take you to crappy movies" he defended
"Uhh…yeah, you do" I looked at the clock on the wall inside "Hey, Edward, I gotta go its late, goodnight" I said
"Night" he replied as I snapped the phone closed (A/N: did that make sense?)
2 months later
Bella POV
I had just received a desperate phone call from Edward, saying he needed someone to pick him and a friend up.
Of course I knew that 'friend' was Tanya, of course…
She was a great friend, she was polite, sweet, kind, caring, beautiful, but something there didn't seem to make me feel that she was a perfect match for Edward. I sometimes thought they would end up getting married.
This wasn't Edward's first girlfriend, he didn't have very many, although he could have any girl out there. He just was never interested. The first girl he ever had was Lauren Mallory, not the brightest girl in town and she wasn't the nicest person. Their relationship lasted about 3 weeks, but broke up with him after she met a new person and cheated, but instead of Edward being disappointed, he was relieved, it was probably the greatest day of his life.
The second girlfriend, and most recent, was Jessica. She was a sweet girl, but a little over obsessive about Edward. She would call him every two hours to see how he was doing, literally. Lauren wasn't too bad to handle, but this one was scary. She used to squeeze in between me and Edward if we were sitting next to each other, when he would give me a hug goodbye, or a kiss on the cheek, she would be fuming. That relationship lasted a week, yes, a week. It was quite frightening.
I drove downtown, to a small Sushi bar, where I was Edward and his beloved Tanya were waiting. I rolled my eyes as they walked hand in hand towards the car. He opened the door for Tanya and got in himself. But, what bothered me is he was in the back seat, he always would sit next to me in the front. I don't mean to sound like a obsessive best friend, but come on! It was tradition.
I sighed as we drove back home.
"Look" Tanya suddenly said breaking the uncomfortable silence. I looked up to see some random garden hose lying on someone's yard
"Umm…so? It's a garden hose" I said while shaking my head, was she dumb?
"No it's a cobra, and it's looking for its prey" she whispered, okay that did it, she was dumb.
"Are you crazy? It's a garden hose" I said with stressing on the words garden and hose.
"No, Bella, it's a game me and Tanya like to play" he said while smiling down at Tanya, I had to gag. Oh, so now they had a game.
"Oh" I replied, feeling a little left out. I think Edward realized that and started to ask questions.
"So, how are you doing?" he said
"Fine" I replied
"Okay, how's that new job of yours working out?" he asked
"Fine" I knew what he wanted, he wanted me to talk, but I'm not going to!
"Bella!" he sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose
I finally pulled up to Tanya's house and unlocked the doors.
"Bye, Tanya, I'll see you later" I said giving her a smile
"Bye Bella, nice seeing you again" she said and walked back to her house followed be…Edward?
"Edward! Get back here, I have to drop you off!" I shouted from the car
"I'll walk home Bella" he yelled from outside
No, he was not going to break our tradition of me dropping him back home, I didn't mind a few times, but it was out of control now that he has Tanya.
I took of my seat belt and got out of the car.
"Edward, I always drop you off!" I shouted at him
"Yeah, so?" he said
"Yeah, and it's tradition, we haven't been doing that often" I said a little more softly.
"Fine" he sighed and he got in the car and slammed the door.
I followed, and put on my seatbelt
"Happy?" he said with slight sarcasm
I didn't say anything on the drive back home. I missed my best friend.
Bella POV
All of us were going to Edward's dad's ranch…all of us.
I'd been there a few times, one summer when Edward and I were about 10 and I went there, freshman year for winter break, and junior year on spring break.
We all piled into Emmett's jeep and drove down to the country.
The fields were a light orange green color and blended well with the setting sun. Horses were grazing across the hills, with ranchers riding them, or ones that roamed wild.
"It's so beautiful" gushed Tanya from the front seat. Edward looked down at her a smiled widely.
I was in the very back the car sitting beside Alice, as we chatted, it became dark and we finally pulled up to a larch wooden house. The house belonged to Edward's father's side of the family, however none of them survived. Now, it was rented out by many people, but it was generally us who visited.
After we unpacked and everything was set up. Alice and I helped Jasper cook some steak, potatoes and grilled vegetables (A/N: Actually this is what I had for dinner, steak, yummy!). I quickly set up a little picnic outside, since the weather was nice and brought out the food.
We all ended up in little cliques, Jasper and Emmett we talking about sports, Edward and Tanya sitting together talking and flirting with each other, and Alice and I eating in a comfortable silence sometimes making small talk.
I kept glancing towards Edward and Tanya, they were so in love. But, for some reason it bothered me, it was as if I was invisible to him nowadays. I didn't appreciate him ignoring me, and looking at me as if I was nothing. I liked the old Edward better. My Edward.
But of course that Edward was gone, because of some girl!
Alice looked up at me and caught me staring and the couple.
"Bella…what's wrong?" she asked softly
"Nothing…it's just, Edward hasn't been talking to me lately, it's as if I'm not there" I replied quietly
"Aw…Bella, come on! Your know Edward loves you, you're his best friend" she said trying to cheer me up.
"Yeah, well it doesn't feel like it anymore" I said while playing with a piece of broccoli on my plate.
She rubbed me back gently, and gave me a small hug.
"It's okay Bella, it'll get better, I promise" she said, but I was unsure of that.
Edward POV
I looked into Tanya's beautiful light brown eyes and kissed her gently.
"Oh! Edward, my parents said they wanted to meet you" she said slightly embarrassed
I was shocked, was I ready to meet her parents? I don't know…
"Sure" I said, I really couldn't disappoint her.
"Really? Thank you so much Edward, there great people, you'll love them" she exclaimed
I laughed
"I hope you right" I muttered under my breath as I wrapped an arm around her pulling her closer to me and looked up at the night sky.
A/N: I most likely cannot update
