New In Town Chapter 4

I drove home slowly, the rain battering against the windscreen. I could hear the low groans of the glass considering giving in and shattering but I was thankful when I pulled into the driveway that it was still intact. I thought for a moment whether my truck would need replacing anytime soon but it was like a tug on my heart. The Chevy was like a part of me nowadays. I ran into the house as fast as I could and pulled off my soaking boots and rain jacket. I was still freezing, jumping in the hot shower the bursts of water were like burning stabs but I soon grew used to it. Sitting down in the bath I curled up and thought to myself. What was this feeling for Edward that made me so drawn to him? I felt a desire towards him I had never felt before, for anyone. I couldn't let this get to me, I couldn't allow this to affect my life. He obviously didn't return the feelings. Or if he did he didn't let on. I thought back to the maths lesson, when he'd first passed me that note. I felt electric shocks running through my whole body when I'd realised he had noticed me.

I dried my hair and then got into some jogging bottoms and a jumper. I was deep in thought, sat leaning against my bed when the sound of the door slamming downstairs pulled me out of my trance. Charlie.

"I'm home!" Charlie called out, wiping his feet on the mat, "Bella?"

"Yeah dad" I replied, "I'm in my room"

"What's for dinner?" He called back, oh shoot...

I hurried down the stairs, tripping up on the last step he caught me and propped me up straight.

"Thanks" I cringed, "I forgot to put dinner on that's all, I'll go and make something"

"No, bells don't worry I'll phone for a pizza" He removed his gun belt and jacket and hung them up,

"Its fine" I reassured him, "I'll cook" It wasn't that Charlie had a gun that convinced me to make him dinner, he would never hurt me. It was that with his jacket off it was more obvious he was getting a rounded belly from all the take outs.

I set about making some noodles. Normally I would have made something a little more 'filling' but in all honesty I wasn't in the mood to cook, I just didn't want Charlie living off take-away pizza.

Naturally my thoughts the entire time were revolving around Edward. I seemed incapable of not thinking about him. He was after all the most stunning boy this side of the Peninsula. Hell, I'd go as far to say he was the most stunning boy in the world, only his brothers could compete with him but they still didn't match up. I once again entertained the idea that he may feel this attraction too but the microwave beeped just in time, before I could absorb myself entirely.

Charlie and I ate in near silence, though it wasn't awkward, just the way we liked it. He asked me a few questions about school and weekend plans, in return I asked him about work and his plans for the weekend, which of course included his fishing trip with Harry Clearwater, they went every Saturday.

I decided to phone Renee after dinner; I missed her inane chatter like mad.

"Hey mum!" I grinned to myself with enthusiasm, "How are you?"

"Hey baby!" I could tell she was happy to hear from me, we hadn't seen each other since my 17th which had been 3 months before, we missed each other, "I'm alright thanks, how are you? How's school? And Charlie?"

"Everything's fine, how's the new house?" Our conversation flowed easily and when I hung up I was in quite a good mood, she had promised to visit for Christmas which wasn't too far off now, just another month or so.

I settled down with some homework after wishing Charlie a good night but found it hard to concentrate on the calculus as I had spent the entire lesson passing notes...which of course led me to think of Edward. After half an hour I gave up and got into bed.

Waking up at 6:00am my dream played back before my eyes.

Walking through the school corridors, it was echoing and empty. I wondered why I was here, but I felt as though there was definitely a purpose. I followed the longest corridor towards the main school hall where all the concerts were held. Pushing open the heavy doors I wandered in like a woman possessed. "Bella?" I would know what musical voice anywhere; I twisted around just as his arms enveloped me. He held me to his chest and whispered into my hair "You don't know how long I've waited for you"

I looked up into his eyes; they were swimming dark gold, beautiful. Spectacular. Mesmerizing. He tilted my head slightly and began kissing my neck. I felt shivers shoot up and down my spine. He moved one hand up to support my head, sliding his fingers through my hair. He kissed down to my collarbone, and then back up to my neck. I wished I could feel the force of his lips upon mine but suddenly his kiss felt more urgent, pain surged through my body as he devoured my neck hungrily. I fell to the floor. Opening my eyes just in time to see him wipe a trickle of bloody from him lips, before he turned to walk away and I woke up.

Holy cow. I was going crazy.

Deciding it was too close to school hours for me to go back to sleep I grabbed my bag of bathroom utilities and headed for a shower.

Charlie woke up not long after seven and I made us both some toast. He swallowed his in almost one bite and was out the door and speeding away before I could say "Have a nice day" My dream was nagging at the back of my mind, it felt like it should mean something, but I was drawing up blanks. Edward, a vampire!? Impossible! They didn't even Exist! I concluded that I had watched way too many scary movies in my time and would just have to accept that sometimes my imagination would run away with me. Armed with my knowledge and school bag I headed off for school. Hoping against hope Edward would show.

I noticed the god-like figure leaning against the shiny silver Volvo in the corner of the lot as soon as I pulled in. He appeared to be watching me, although I couldn't tell, he could have been looking right through me.

I found my friends (whom I felt I had distanced from recently, because of my time spent with Alice) but I needn't have worried as the conversation flowed out easily to include me. I agreed to go on an 'adventure' day with them at the weekend. Not such a good idea for the accident prone, but a day out sounded good. So far the count was 7. Eric and his girlfriend Angela, she was quiet and naturally pretty, the closest thing I had ever had to a best friend. Jessica and Mike, who seemed to be arguing a lot more these days. Freya and Matt, who had only been together for a couple of weeks and were still in the 'lovey dovey' stage, and me. I was assured by Angela it wasn't a couple's thing and I was free to invite anyone I wanted. I wanted to invite Edward but we were barely even 'talking' and hardly knew each other. I decided that I would invite both him and Alice, then it would look less like I was inviting him because I wanted it to be a 'date'.

"So what do you want to do this weekend?!" Alice appeared beside me before English,

"Well I think I'm going on a kind of 'adventure' day with some friends, I was going to ask if you want to come?" I smiled, I was hoping Alice would say yes, she would make the trip more fun and hopefully keep everyone smiling,

"Oh brilliant!" She grinned, "I'll bring Jasper, if that's okay? He loves the outdoors!"

"Yeah, course!" I realised now that it would look even more like a date to Edward, but I honestly couldn't care less. I would make my intentions clear.

He sat down next to me just as the bell was ringing, giving me no chance to speak to him in person. I wondered for a moment if that had been his intention, but quickly put that thought out of my mind and began writing a note.

EDWARD POV

Bella looked quite nice today I noticed. She was wearing a dark purple cardigan with a white long sleeved top and faded light blue jeans. Her trainers were a little scuffed but whose weren't in this day and age. I laughed a little to myself at my own joke. I realised it was so much easier to resist her scent than I had imagined. Yes, it still teased me, sang to me. Yes, it still haunted my every waking moment, which for me was every second of everyday. But it was not nearly as frustrating as not being able to read her mind.

I wanted to know what she was thinking, I wanted to hear what she thought of everyone in this room. What she thought of me. Surely she had formed one or two thoughts on me, due to our encounters. Just as I was trying my very hardest to focus all my energy on blocking everyone else out, so I could try and find her 'voice', for all I knew it could be a near silent whisper, she passed me a note. I opened it quickly

I was wondering if you would like to come on a day trip on Saturday, me and some friends are going on a sort of 'adventure' day. I'll understand if you don't want to come, and fyi, Alice and Jasper will be there too.

BELLA POV

My hands shook a little while I carefully unfolded the paper and read what he had written.

Bella, I would very much like to join you and your friends on this trip, I look forward to it.

The last five words left my heart racing. I wrote back, trying to keep my hand steady, why did he leave me breathless?

EDWARD POV

She was so adorable sat there blushing, I could hear her heart beating ten-to-the-dozen and I couldn't help but notice how it was me that caused this reaction. Why did this make me smile? She was sat taunting me with her delicious scent, her cheeks inflamed red, her heart beat begging me to just lean over and sink my teeth into her neck. Yet she could make me smile like a regular teenager passing notes with the pretty girl. But I wasn't a regular teenager...

It was like a stab of realisation. I always knew what I was, that there was no way of changing it... but thinking about it made it all that more real. Listening to other peoples thoughts was much easier.

A note fell next to my hand.

We're meeting at the opening to Jesse Clearing at 11am, do you know where that is?

BELLA POV

No, but Alice, Jasper and I could drive behind you? We could meet at the General Store at 10:45?

EDWARD POV

10:45 it is

The bell rang out in a loud deafening toll and students hurried to pack away their books.

I waited until Bella had packed away her books and was heading out of the classroom to fall into step with her.

BELLA POV

"Who will be there this weekend?" His voice was quiet but beautiful none the less and I felt my heart squeeze a little, he was actually talking to me.

"Mike, Angela, Ben, Matt, Jessica..." I was trying to make it come across as just a friend day, which of course was all it was...

"So is it couples only?" He smiled, I couldn't understand how he had come to this conclusion. I was sure I had been stealthy. Damn.

"No, friends, but if you don't want to -" He cut me off,

"I do want to" He smiled again and then he disappeared off into the crowd.

His smile, was jaw dropping. Slightly crooked and leaving a glint in his golden eyes. Dazzling almost... he definitely was something else.
