Chapter 6

I Wake up to find Edward smiling at me which in turn makes me smile this is crazy it's all happened so fast, but I've never felt happier or safer than I do right now lying here in his arms I can't believe we've slept most of the day. ''are you okay, do you feel okay….I didn't h....''Edward im fine, better than fine actually'' I give him a reassuring smile then kiss his lips softly.

''Bella I know your in there open up, I can't believe you've been ignoring my calls. Savannah said you'd turn into a frenemie so open this door & prove her wrong''

Way to kill the mood Tanya, ''It's Tanya, I better let her in before she rakes her expensive claws through my door'' I give him a quick peck on the lips & hurriedly put on my robe can't believe she has the nerve to come here yelling at me.I open the door to her filing her nails, I roll my eyes & she glares then something unexpected she launches herself at me wrapping her arms around my body.

I unravel myself from her & walk into the living room, I need to clear my brain before I speak to her.

''oh god Bella I'm like so sorry about what happened. You know I'd never want anything to happen to you, were almost like sisters'' she looks up at the ceiling fanning her hand as if it will stop her fake tears.

''you know this past year you've made me feel low about myself….. a lot Tanya, last night you almost got me raped sending that guy after me, luckily someone saved me. But that's not the point your supposed to be my friend & I'm starting to wonder if were too different to be friends anymore'' she gawks at me like I've been speaking a foreign language she doesn't understand. 'Well Bella we are different, im a stiletto & you're a sneaker what's the deal doesn't mean were not friends'' she laughs before I can comment on her shoe comparisons I hear Edward step into the room, Tanya's eyes are wider than I've ever seen , she raises her eyebrows & checks Edward out much to my annoyance.

'' I didn't know you had a guest Bella, so you going to introduce me to this gorgeous man or what''

I huff, Edward just smiles a crooked smile at me making me forget for a moment that were not alone.

''Edward this is my sometimes Best friend Tanya, Tanya this is Edward…he helped me last night''

''a knight in shining armor, handsome too'' she eyeballs Edward longer I'd like. ''So Edward what do you do besides rescue girls from creeps''

''I wouldn't have had to rescue her if you hadn't of been so spiteful & careless''

Tanya just looked from me to Edward with a gaping mouth that could catch Queen Bee's never mind flies ''excuse me, I'm very grateful you got to Bella but no body speaks to me that way''

'' look I don't want to fight anymore over this, lets just forget about this whole thing ok, I'm ok now I was pissed at you…but your never to do anything like that to me again Tanya''

''I swear it Bella, I am truly sorry. Anyway I've got a date with my fiance so I will catch you was Nice to meet you Edward.'' ''I'll walk you out'' we walk down the front garden path to her car I know she's dying to know more about Edward I'm worried what to tell her, the truth I guess I mean she is my friend after all. - ''so what's the deal Bells, you seeing your white knight now, he's hot, I'm sure I could think of a way or two to repay him if it was me he saved.'' she nudges me in the arm raising her eyebrows & I laugh.'' Actually….last night...'' I turn bright red & sure enough Tanya catches on. 'OH MY GOD, you slept with him!' – ''god be quiet, yes I did & it was amazing, I've never felt like this, I told him he could stay here too' ''what why would you tell him that''

''um…well… he's kinda...Homeless he was sleeping in the alley that James dragged me down, I couldn't let him go back to that not after he saved me, after spending time with him, I think I really like him''

''what….. Bella did you Smack your head on the pavement or anything because this is just like totally gross, he's homeless… god knows what he picked up living with the Rats in alleys he's probably going to rob you blind too I can't believe what I'm hearing''

''you don't know him, how could you say something like that god a second ago you thought he was Hot now you think he's gross & if he wanted to rob me blind he could have done it by now.'' ''you've completely lost your mind, if you'll excuse me I have a date''

she gets in her hot little car driving away leaving me scowling in my front Garden, I head back into the house her words burning in my brain with anger, I don't believe she's right about Edward he wouldn't steal from me.

''Hey are you ok?''

I wrap my arms around him & look up at him his face in a worried expression, I kiss him lightly & he responds eagerly, ''mm hmm yeah I'm fine'' I open my eyes clouded with lust after our kiss & his worried expression is back which makes me worried. ''are you okay?''

''I just wish…..I wish I was a better man for you'' oh Edward. '' you are as good a man as any, Being Homeless doesn't make you any less….will you tell me what Happened to you? , I mean how you became Homeless?''

He lets out a breath & sits on the couch fiddling with his hands I want him to feel like he can tell me anything he has to if were going to try this. I sit beside him & take his hand in mine I use my other to stroke his hair and smile at him, he smiles a back.

''When I was ten my Parents were Murdered I saw it Happen a Man broke into our home I watched him kill my parents , then I ran to my room & climbed out my window I was so terrified I wasn't watching what I was doing I fell & broke my arm but I kept on running I went to the neighbours down the street, the police were called I found out later it was a man that worked at the bank with my Father but they never caught him & I was put into foster home after foster home. when I was sixteen I couldn't take it anymore my last foster Parents…they used to beat me so I left & I've been homeless ever since.''

I couldn't even blink I just stared at him, how could life have been so cruel to him, tears were streaming down both our faces, I wrapped my arms around him & he cried in my arms till he fell asleep with his head in my lap hugging my leg like a lost little boy. If I wasn't sure if I was in Love with Edward before I was sure now ….I loved him.
