Edward's POV
"So, I was thinking maybe you could come with me and Jess to the movies. You don't even have to think of it as a da.." I stopped her. "I would love to, Bella." her face lit up. "Really!? I mean.. Really?" I chuckled and nodded. "Okay. I will let you know when we will go." I nodded and walked to my locker. Alright, this is really wrong. I am still going out with Tanya, and yeah I still love her. But I think I love Bella to. But yet I haven't known her long. So what to do? Break up with Tanya? Then what? Have her kill Bella because she thinks that is why I broke up with her? No, Bella didn't deserve that. But I couldn't go out with both of them. I wasn't that kind of guy. And I never would be.
I got into my Volvo and started to drive home. When Tanya called me, Oh great… 'Hi Edward, I'm sorry. I just had to call you. I miss you too much! When are you coming up to visit?' 'I don't know.. And Tanya there is something I need to talk to you about.' the silence started until she said.. 'okay.. What is it dear?' I tried to swallow but it was as dry as the Sahara. 'Well, You know the saying? Long distance relationships may kill you.' and before I had a chance to finish she said. 'Your breaking up with me?' I could here the pain in her voice. 'Tanya, I still love you. But I don't think this is going to work out. I mean, me here and you there. That's just very hard.' it was silent again. 'If that's what you want..' and she hung up. I had a feeling she'd be here soon, to get me back. It was as if I were on her radar or something of that sort.
I was getting an irresistible urge to see Bella. I didn't know if that was a blood attraction or just liking her. If it was about her blood, then I'd break the treaty.. She had a very distinct smell. But.. Yet it was different. Unlike anything I ever smelled.. Only if I could just taste test.. NO! Edward stop thinking like this! "Edward.. You can't kill that girl. You know what will happen." Must she always snoop into my thoughts? "Alice.. I'm a vampire. I'm dangerous. What does it take for you to understand. We like blood. Plain and simple." That sounded horrible. She shook her head to disagree. "Maybe that's why we are against drinking human blood." She was right. "Can you drive faster? I really want to go home. I think I'm going hunting." She shook her head. "No, Edward. You know how Carlisle doesn't want me to get another ticket." I rolled my eyes. Yeah like that has stopped her before.
Bella's POV
"I'm telling you right now Bella, if you bring that Cullen to this reservation we are not going to sit here and do nothing." God what the heck was his problem! "Jake, just stop! It's my life. I can date whoever I want. Whenever I want. Cut me some slack, I have never had a boyfriend and no one ever liked me! So this is great for me! So butt out!" He stared at me coldly. And ran off into the woods, I wasn't so fast, but I tried to keep up. "Jake! Stop please! I'm sorry! It's just that you are more protective than Charlie! It gets annoying." He kept running. "Yeah cause that helps a whole lot." He said. "Jake!!" He stopped. "What now?" I was lagging behind him to catch up. "Please, just hear me out." He sighed in the 'okay you win go head and tell.' look. "I really like him.. And I didn't say I'd bring him here. Just please tell me why you are so against the Cullen's?" he was about to say something, but instead he said. "You will find out on your own." and was off. "I don't want words of wisdom!" I shouted.. But it was no use, he was long gone. What did he mean? 'You will soon find out' Is Edward a murderer? No no, Jake would never let a killer get me. Then what was he! I demanded to find out right now. There was no way I could love someone without knowing who they really were. I just could not do it.
I phased back once I got home, and threw on a pair of old shorts and a tee shirt. Then picked up the phone and dialed Edward's number. 'Hi Bella.' I smiled, it was impossible not to smile when you listened to his angelic voice. 'Hey Edward. I wanted to know.. Can I meet your family today? They seem really nice.' He sounded shocked, it was like he thought no one wanted to meet his family. 'Sure.. If you want to..' 'I do.' 'Okay, then just come to the diner and I will meet you and pick you up there.' 'Okay, thanks Edward.'
Okay there was no way I could wear this, to see Edward's proper family. I ripped through my closet to find the perfect outfit. And there it was, a purple flutter top. With a pair of White Capri's. Veronica loved the outfit. She was all about fashion, so I decided to listen to her. Oh.. Veronica, She was my Geography teacher, but now she is my mom. I know.. One strange parent/teacher conference. I will tell you that. She is nice though.. She isn't Renee, but no one will ever be Renee. But she has her own fashion line. So I get her opinion on everything I wear. I think that Edward liked me, I mean what other reason would you allow me to see your family? I didn't know what it was like to have a guy like you because this has never happened to me. All I knew was, I liked him, maybe even a little more then just like. Wait.. How could I love him?
