Chapter 8

We arrived home and I was exhausted. I had told Charlie at the bonfire about me going to visit Renee for a week. He said that what fine, he was wondering when I would go and see her.

I walked to my room Jake asleep in my arms, all that running and food was enough to set him to sleep.

I walked in my bedroom and saw Edward playing with some of my bedding. I smiled and walked up to him

"Hello love" he whispered as he kissed me and cradled me "Did you have a nice time?"

I nodded I leaned up and kissed him, he replied eagerly cradling my head in his hands that was until we heard a growl, we pulled away and saw Jake growling at Edward.

"She's mine pup" Edward said before leaning in to kiss me again but Jake got up and scratched Edward's face.

"You can't hurt me" Edward got Jake and Jake started barking

"Edward let him go" I got hold of Jake and held him in my arms. "I'm guessing this is more of an issue then he doesn't like vampires"

"He's grown quite attached to you, can't say I blame him" Edward kissed me softly again. I felt Jake crawl off my lap I got a fist full of Edward hair and brought his mouth closer to me.

Edward pulled away suddenly he looked down and I saw Jake looking at us in a strange way, he wasn't stopping us he was looking at Edward wagging his tail, his ears up and his tongue sticking out

"He. Peed. On. My. Pants." Edward hissed, I bit my lip to stop laughing. I swallowed again to swallow the laugh "Bella get him out of the room before I kill him"

I sat up and grabbed Jake leading him downstairs I got out a tin of food Emily had given me and set it in the bowl, which Emily gave me, I would have to buy her something for this.

I set his food on the floor and he tucked into immediately, I got a regular bowl and put water in it.

I walked away from him briefly and walked up the step, but I saw a letter on the ground. I saw it was addressed to me and I opened it. I gasped and it read.

You were on my mind when i woke up this morning
remembering your smile
i guess the next time i'll see your face
will take a little while
i was remembering your arms around me
love the way they always feel warm
with you by my side
i completely feel no harm
i was remembering your voice
makes my heart skip a beat
but without you
my whole body's weak
i was remembering our times
the good and the bad
the funny times when you cheered me up
and especially the sad
remembering your eyes
how they always meet mine
remembering all the little things you do
to make my life worthwhile
i was wondering when we'll be together
just us two
i guess i'm missing you more than i usually do

Your secret Admirer

C.H x

His words really touched me, Jake walked into the hallway and sat down at my feet. This boy sounded like he was in pain, living a life full of something which he longed to be or see me. What did he mean though I was remembering your arms around me?

"Bella? What are you doing up?" Charlie came down rubbing his eyes. I slipped the note in my back pocket

"Just feeding Jake he got hungry"

"After all he had eaten" he gasped, I laughed slightly, I was feeling a bit tired.
"Goodnight kid" Charlie kissed my forehead and led me upstairs. I walked in my room , Edwards wasn't here, I walked to the bed where I saw a note

I've gone out hunting, and I'll be back when I've changed my clothes from your little monster there. Look after my heart I left it with you. My love Edward.

I chuckled at his note, Jake plopped himself on the bed I looked at him

"That wasn't nice what you did to Edward Jake"

I swear I saw him smile. He curled up in a nice ball and went to sleep. I soon joined him changing into my pajamas. I lay down on the bed stroking Jakes fur. It was then I realized something C.H. were my admirers initials. Now I had a little clue of who to look for.

~o~

The next day I didn't go to school again, I wanted to look after Jake today. I asked Angela if she would like to come round tonight and drop of any work for me she said yes.

I had told her about my puppy and she was ecstatic, she said she always wanted a puppy.

I went round to the Cullen's' place knowing Esme would be there. I brought Jake round.

"Hello Bella" she hugged me when I put Jake on the ground

"Hello Esme, did Edward tell you about last night"

She looked confused "No"

I pursed my lips "I'll save it until he gets here."

Jake was happy playing with some ball which Esme had found for him.

"So how are you with everything now?" she asked setting down some cookies for me

"Good I guess, just can't wait to see my mom again" I shrugged.

She nodded, Jake came walking in and wanted me to pick him up. I smiled and sat him on my lap stroking his forehead.

"Do you mind if I sleep here?"

"Of course" she sat up and grabbed my arm gently, she ran us to Edward's room. I smiled appreciatively at me and I fell asleep on Edward's bed.
