He was…smiling at me. I think? I opened my eyes and to my surprise… Charlie was actually smiling at me.
Chapter 11:
BPOV
"Charlie… I can -" Jacob was just about to explain everything when dad cut him off.
"Explain? Yes there seems to be a bit of a situation that you need to explain to me right now. Bella go inside please, I need to talk to Jacob for a minute." He said to me, his voice showing no anger what so ever.
I gave Jacob what may be my last kiss for him and walked inside after giving my dad a final 'warning glare'. He knew that that meant he was not to raise his voice or get angry with Jacob before hearing our part of the story.
I sat down in the kitchen - choosing a seat where I couldn't see out the window - so I wouldn't see my dad yelling at my first real boyfriend. All I could hear outside was the light tapping of the rain starting to trickle down on the roof.
The next thing I heard shocked me to the extreme, it was the sound of two tones of boisterous laughter, my dad's and Jacob's. Why would they be laughing? I mean… shouldn't my dad be yelling and screaming at Jacob for corrupting my youth or something? It just wasn't adding up. I jumped up our from my seat at the kitchen table and stomped over to the still open front door.
"What's going on you two?" I asked them as they looked at me with the same, dumbfound expressions.
"Well, I was preparing myself to be screamed at on a whole other level, when I opened my eyes and Charlie was smiling at me." Jacob started.
"And then I shook Jacob's hand and told him it was about time he made a move on you, and that I'd been waiting for something to happen between the two of you. I could see it, but obviously you guys hadn't figured it out yet," my dad finished.
Then with a smug smile Jacob pulled me into hiss arms and kissed me, just like this afternoon. Though the feeling wasn't the same - perhaps because my father was watching us - I could still feel the love that we shared.
******************************
On Monday morning I was so happy that my dad had let Jacob stay the night - he trusted Jake and I enough not to do anything - because once again I woke up in the arms of my angel.
I listened to Jacob snoring, just leaning my head against his chest. His snores started to trail off and then he was kissing my forehead, "Good morning Bells." He said with a smile playing on his lips.
"It certainly is." I replied giving him a kiss before rushing off to my bathroom before he could say anything else.
"Bella… Can I come in?" He asked waiting patiently on the other side of my bathroom door.
"JACOB! You certainly cannot. What would dad say when he found out?" I screamed back at him.
"But I need to have a shower. I have to go to school today and it will take e a bit longer to drive from here." He retaliated knowing I couldn't argue back. So I grabbed my towel, rapped it around myself and pushed passed him as I head out the door, but I wasn't quick enough and he grabbed my arm and pulled my into him. Then he gave me a big hug and a quick peck before closing the bathroom door. How could he tease me like that? It just wasn't fair.
After Jacob and I had finished getting ready for school and work, we walked hand in hand down the stairs to get some breakfast. I wasn't very hungry so I chose just to have a granola bar while Jake had some cereal. He gave me a kiss and cuddle before he headed off to school - Jake was two years younger than me and was in his final year at La Push High School.
"Bye Charlie." Jake called over his shoulder as he walked out the front door.
"See you Jake." Dad replied.
"I'm gonna head off too dad. I have to open this morning. I'll see you when I get home." I told my dad before grabbing my jacket and keys.
"Um, Bells?" He said following me into the hallway.
"Yeh dad?" I replied, curious to where he was taking the conversation.
"You and Jake…" was all he said next.
"What about me and Jake?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
He hesitated then asked, "How long?"
I knew he was going to try and have 'the talk' with me soon and I had to get out of it some how. "Two days, that's all I swear dad, and nothing has happened." I responded, "Sorry dad can we do this later I have to go?" I told him.
"Yeh, sure Bells. Have fun at work." He said as I opened the front door.
"Ok. I'll see you when I get home. Love you dad."
"Love you too Bells."
I walked out the door closing it behind me and trudged down the stone path to my Chevy. I started up the Chevy and the thunderous roar startled me. I think I've been riding with Jake a little too much.
As I drove through the streets I heard my phone ringing. My dad was a cop and had taught me all the road rules before I even got my car so I knew not to answer it. I left it ringing and got to work just in time. I opened the doors and put the signs outside and then the phone rang.
"Hello, Fashion Forever, Bella speaking." I answered.
"Ah, Bella. Nice to speak to you again." I recognised the voice instantly, it was my mystery caller.
