So...not much to put here. Just another author's note.
Oh! New Moon on DVD! Get it!!
Chapter 17: Seperation Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Sadly, it was Tuesday. Since we were still supposed to be on Christmas break, there were no classes until January fourth which gave me a three week vacation. Two of which I didn't get to spend with Edward. I was mentally pouting as Edward found a parking spot at Seattle Airport. He insisted on carrying all three of his bags, plus his bookbag and laptop case. After a little arguing, I carried his bookbag and laptop case.
We quickly got him checked in and with his ticket. He had checked all his bags except for his laptop case. I could only follow him as far as securtiy. So, he stayed back. There was still an hour before he had to be at the loading hanger.
I have no idea why, but I started to tear up. Edward held me and I buried my face in his chest. "Shh...honey, it's only for two weeks. I'll be back. I promise."
I looked up at him. "And you won't find some sexy New York girl to replace me?" I was joking...kinda.
He leaned down and kissed my lips with a passion a little too intimate for public eyes but I didn't care. "Does that answer you're question?"
"Hell yeah." He smiled smugly.
"So, are you going apartment hunting?" He asked.
"I guess I have to. But, what if I pick out something that you don't like?"
"I trust you." He kissed my temple.
"That makes one of us."
"Flight 211 to New York City will be boarding in twenty minutes. Please procede to flight hanger 2D" A woman called over the intercom.
Edward sighed and held me a little tighter. "I'm so sorry, babe. I've gotta go. But remember, seperation makes the heart grow fonder." He hugged me even closer. "I'll call you when I land."
"Alright." I threw my arms around his neck and his went around my waist. I kissed him fiercly as I tangled my fingers in his hair.
After we pulled away Edward gasped. "Damn woman! Now I don't think I want to leave." He chuckled and kissed my cheek one last time before walking to the security checkpoint.
I watched him until I couldn't see him anymore. I noticed that as soon as he was out of sight, my mood changed. Now I felt like I was missing something major. I didn't want to do anything but frown. And that's what I did as I drove to the realtor's office.
Our realtor was named Charlotte Sarahdan. It was a beautiful named if you asked me. She greeted me warmly as I sat down in front of her desk.
"So, Bella. Is there anything you had in mind? A price range? A style of home?" She asked with a smile.
"Well, me and my finace' were hoping to rent an apartment. So, I guess our price range would be about $2000 to $2500 a month. We were looking for the west side of Seattle. Do you think you could find something like that?"
She clicked away on her computer. "I have three apartments in that area that are within your price range. If you have time, we can take a look at them today."
I smiled. I may not find something today, but it's nice to know the possiblities.
~A bored Edward's point of view~
Plane rides. I completely detest them. All the people crammed into one area. This plane ride was especially terrible. I was stuck between an old sweaty guy and an old lady who was covered in every kind of make up and obviously trying to get the attention of the sweaty old guy. I just put my headphones in and listened to my ipod. I listened to the playlist marked Bella. It was a mixture of lost of songs that made me think of her. Right now, it was I'd Come For You by Nickelback. It may seem a little strange for me to get joy out of a guy singing a love song, but in my head, I was Chad Kroeger and I was serenading Bella.
I soon drifted off to sleep, a sleep filled with Bella Dreams.

I woke up to the sturdess shaking my arm. "Sir, we're in New York. It's time to leave now." I smiled and told her thank you. I gathered my belongings and got off the plane. It was dark outside. I looked at my phone. 1:45am today. That would make it 10:45pm yesterday in Seattle. Bella might still be up. I hit speed dial number 2 and called her.
"Hey baby!" She exclaimed before I could even get a word out. "Guess what?!"
"Umm...elephants raided our closet and stole your shoes?" I threw out randomly.
She laughed. "No, I found an apartment!"
"Really!? What's it like?" I was amazing that she found one so quickly.
"Well...it's furnished. Rent is $2500 a month. It's on the thrid floor of this really old, yet renovated, townhouse. It has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, kitchen, dining area, and a living room. The only thing it doesn't have is a laundry area, but there's one in the basement of the building." I could tell she was really excited. "Charlotte said it was move-in ready!"
"Babe that's great! So, are you going to be getting our stuff out of the dorms then?" I asked mid-yawn.
"Oh..Eddie, you're tired. Yeah, I'm going to get the stuff and move it into the apartment. Now get to your hotel and have sexy dreams about me." I could almost see her beautiful smile.
"Don't worry babe. That's sure to happen." We said our goodnights and I went to the hotel. Bella was right. Sexy dreams about her were what occupied my mind.
~An excited Bella's point of view~
So, the next day, after being on the phone with Edward four three hours straight missing him every second, I went to my dorm to clean out my stuff. Luckily Tanya wasn't there. I couldn't stand that tramp.
I cleaned my closet and dresser out of clothes and was making work of the odds and ends on my desk. I heard the door opened and assumed it was Tanya so I didn't look up. That's when I was startled by a pair of arms snaking around my waist. It wasn't the comfortable feel that Edward gave me. This was rough and scary.
I turned around. "Hey good looking." James greeted me. His hands went lower on my body.
"James. Don't." I said in less than a whisper. I was scared to death.
Okay, please review! I'm a little happier with this chapter. There's something about cliffies that just brightens my day.. ;)
