Edwards point of view
I woke up smiling. Smiling?! What. The. Fuck.
Oh yeah.
Bella.
Our date last night was completely ... Hell im just going to say it. Magical.
I never ever thought I would get to love someone like this. Shes everything I had ever wanted and so much more.
I climbed out of bed and slipped into the shower.
After I cleaned, I put on my dark blue jeans, black plain t shirt and red hoodie over it.
My hair. Well, I ran my hands through it a few times but it will just have to do.
I was still smiling. And my face didnt hurt, because it was a real smile.
"You look happy." My mom said as I sat down with a bowl of cereal at the dining room table.
"Yep." I said chewing on my apple jacks.
"How did your date with Bella last night go?" My father asked.
"Great."
He looked away seeming deep in thought then turned back to me.
"Does she know about, er, what happened before?"
"Yes. She knows everything."
"Does she know about the money?" He said nonchantly sipping his coffee.
"Carlisle!" Esme said appauled.
I didnt understand what her outburst was about till now.
I slammed my spoon down on the table and glared at him.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I growled.
"Edward, calm down." He scolded.
"No."
"Edward I was only saying-"
"That Bella was a gold digger?!" I roared.
"I didnt say that!"
"No. But the intention was clear." I seethed and threw my dishes in the sink.
"Edward!" Esme called as I slammed the door and walked to my car.
I ignored her as best as I could. It was always hard to ignore my mother, she never did anything to me.
I drove out of my neighborhood and tried to think straight.
Its things like this that anger me! He always pisses me off! Why?! What the fuck did I ever do to him?! I went through hell and he still treated me like dirt!
'Edward calm down.' I chanted this in my head several times but nothing was working.
'You cant see Bella when your like this.'
"Fuck." I stressed.
I pulled into a Starbucks driveway and ordered two mocha caramel coffees.
I turned the stereo up loud, letting the sound of Disturbed drown out my thoughts. After I gulped down my coffee I ran my hands roughly over my face a few times.
"Calm down." I said to myself.
I glanced at the clock. 7:20.
You get to see Bella in 10 minutes. Just calm down.
I took one glance in the mirror and groaned. My facial expressions wouldnt change. Damnit!
Surely Bella would notice this. She was way to observant for what I gave her credit for.
I turned my way onto the right route to Bellas house. Soon I got sick of the screaming blaring through my ears and pressed the shuffle button on my ipod.
Bellas lullaby.
I remember putting the unfinished piece on here. Its still remains unfinished. I havent worked on it since Bella and I got together.
I sunk down into my seat defeated. I wasnt angry anymore, I just felt worn out now.
This was the quickest i've ever gotten over my little rampages.
Bellas driveway was empty when I pulled in. She glanced out her bedroom window and was gone in the same second.
I got out and already had her door opened for her when she arrived.
"Hi." She smiled and kissed my lips.
I didnt get to respond before she felt the tension in my lips.
"Whats wrong?" She asked and put a hand to my cheek.
I think my knees are going to fail on me one of these days when she does that.
"Nothing. Get in." I rolled my eyes and tried to cover my tone with a laugh.
She slid in and I got in after.
She took my hand in hers. Her hand was so small and warm in mine. There was no doubt in my mind that they werent made to fit together.
"Did I ever thank you for last night?" She asked.
"Only a million times." I laughed.
"Well heres to a million and one."
"Thank you. I had a fantastic time. Except for the whole price part." She muttered the last line and through her hands up in exasperation.
See! Damnit! She hardly even let me buy her a dinner without arguing!
My grip tightened on the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white.
I felt a small hand pry my fingers off of it. Bella held my hand in her lap, biting her lip staring at it.
"Somethings wrong." She stated.
"Nothings wrong." I said sternly.
"I thought we made a pact to say no more 'nothings'." She argued.
I sighed heavily and put the car in park in the school lot.
"Wont you tell me?" She asked and placed a hand lightly on my shoulder.
Damn her.
"Seriously sweetie. Nothings wrong, my father just made me upset this morning and its still stuck in my mind." I said and kissed her hair.
"By the way. Thats yours." I pointed to the Starbucks coffee cup in the cup holder.
"Oh. You really didnt have too." She said strictly.
"I wanted too." I said sternly. She seemed like she was going to object.
"What kind is it?" She asked in a tiny voice.
"Mocha caramel coffee." I smirked. A huge grin spread across her face and she kissed me on the lips hard.
"Thank you!" She chirped and sipped it eagerly.
I chuckled and got out opening her door and letting her out also.
"Bellroo has Starbucks!" Emmett yelled and pointed to her. Bella hid behind me still sipping it.
"Back off buddy boy!" She laughed.
"Aw, come on! Just one sip!"
"Nope. Once you get a wonderful boyfriend of your own, you can make him buy you one." She giggled.
She called me wonderful?
I was hardly even close.
"Im not gay Bells."
"Thats not my problem." She laughed. I wrapped an arm around her shoulder and she leaned into my side.
"Rosie will you buy me some Starbucks?" He whined.
"Isnt it supposed to be the other way around?" Alice laughed.
"Emmett all we need is whip cream and you can have all the Starbucks you want." She said and wiggled her eyebrows at him.
"EW! We are walking to class now!" Bella said and pulled my hand dragging me to class. She had a strong grip on me for someone so tiny.
She through her empty cup away and sat next to me in her assigned seat in homeroom.
Gym.
It was snowing outside. Great. I hate the snow.
"I hate snow." Bella whispered to me as we sat next to each other on the bleachers.
"You just read my mind." I laughed.
Emmett kept shooting spitballs at the coaches whenever they werent looking.
"Emmett!" Jasper hissed.
"Stop. It." Alice growled.
"No way. Eddie watch this." He said and shot one straight for the coach Warners neck. It stuck to him hard right there and he clapped his hand to his neck.
"Who did that?" He asked strictly. We all pointed to Emmett.
"Jerks." He muttered.
"Ah, I see. We were going to stay inside since it is snowing, but thanks to your pal Emmett we are all going outside to walk track." He said.
"Crap." Bella groaned.
"I hate you." I said to Emmett. He slapped me on the back and grinned.
"Snowball fights." He chuckled.
"You through one at me and your dead." I hissed.
"Dont worry Eddie. Your on my team."
"Good. And stop calling me Eddie."
"No can do Eddie."
Ugh.
"Alright everybody outside, your doing 5 laps." Coach said.
We all groaned and went ouside and on to the track.
"F-f-fudge its cold!" Bella squeaked.
I wrapped an arm tight around her and she stuck her arms around my waist and let my hoodie fall over her.
"Emmy-bear im cold." Rose pouted. He walked up to her and took her in a strong inbrace, Alice cuddled up to Jasper as well.
"W-well, today has been s-suckish." Bella said quietly.
"Yeah." I laughed and kissed her head.
"Hey Bella!" Mike called from behind us. She groaned queitly and turned around.
"Yes?"
"Watch this!" He said and slid across the ice that was freezing over the black tar track. He ended up slipping and falling straight on his ass.
"Wow." Bella said in fake awe.
"Remind me not to be jealous of him." I chuckled in her ear.
After school I drove Bella home and we just sat in the driveway.
I dont want to go home just yet.
"You dont want to go home do you?" Bella asked quietly.
"Stop reading my mind." I chuckled.
She laughed quietly and got out. I followed her and she turned to me.
"You can stay with me if you want, but I promised my neighbor I would babysit."
She was biting her lip. Damnit.
I walked over to her and ran my thumb lightly across her bottom lip.
"You know that drives me crazy right?"
"Really?" She said raising her eyebrows.
I nodded.
"Well, what else drives you crazy?" She asked smirking.
"When you smile like that." I whispered.
I cradled her face in my hand and brought my lips to hers. Her hands slid along my shirt and rested on my shoulders, I pushed her closer to me and wrapped my arms around her back.
"Bella!" A tiny high-pitched voice squealed and tackled Bellas legs making both of us stumble back a few feet.
I looked down and chuckled. There was a little girl about 6 hugging one of Bellas legs.
"I think there is something on you leg sweetheart." I laughed.
Bella looked down and giggled. She bent down to the little girls height and hugged her.
"Well hi Chrissy." Bella smiled.
"Oooh. Whos he?" She asked looking up at me. I couldnt help but chuckle.
She was pretty cute.
"This is Edward, my boyfriend. Edward this is Chrissy the rugrat im babysitting."
"Rugrat?! Me?! Pssh. Right..." She said.
"Shes a cocky little thing." Bella whispered to me.
"Hes handsome." Chrissy giggled looking at me. Bella giggled and nodded.
"He is."
I felt the need to blush and look away.
"Bella thank you so much." A lady said walking up to Bella and hugging her.
"No problemo Courtney. I enjoy babysitting her."
"Momma she called me a rugrat." Chrissy laughed.
"Oh did she now?" The lady said and hugged her daughter.
"Yes, and she has a handsome new boyfriend."
Bella giggled and pointed to me with her thumb.
"Ok, your not supposed ot be thinking boys are cute until your a teenager." She laughed.
"He is cute." She whispered and nudged Bellas shoulder.
She walked away and Chrissy was bouncing in place.
"Lets go inside." Bella laughed.
5 minutes later
"Im bored." Bella and Chrissy said at the same time.
"What would you like to do?" I chuckled.
"I dont know, you have better ideas than I do."
"No, I dont."
"Edward."
"Fine. What would you like to do? Go to Chuck-e-cheeses?" I said sarcastically.
They both hopped out of their seat and grinned.
"Oh good god what did I just get myself into?" I groaned.
"Please?" Bella pouted and poked out her bottom lip. She nudged Chrissy's shoulder telling her to do the same. Which she did.
"You suck." I laughed.
"Is that a yes?" Chrissy asked.
"Yep!" Bella smiled.
"Come on." I laughed and took her hand. Chrissy led the way to my car and hopped in the backseat.
"Are you buckled?" Bella asked as we drove off.
"Yes." I smirked. She slapped me on the shoulder playfully.
"Not you." She laughed. She looked in the rear view mirror at Chrissy.
"Yep. All buckled Bella."
"Good."
"I have to stop by my place really quick." I said to her.
"Are you sure?" She asked uneasily. I new she was referring to my father and me.
"Yes, I just wont talk to him."
We pulled up into my driveway and I left the car running as I got out.
"Edward." Esme sighed as I walked in.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing. Are you alright?"
"Fine." I said bluntly.
"Your father wants to talk to you."
"Well, I dont want to talk to him." I said and ran upstairs. I grabbed my wallet and stuck it in my back pocket then went back downstairs.
"Edward." Carlisle said.
"What?!"
"I need to talk to you." He said sternly.
"Bellas waiting in the car."
"It will only take a second."
I sighed.
"Edward I never meant to say that Bella was using you for your money. Your mother and you jumped to conclusions. Which was my fault anyway. Im sorry."
"Ok."
"Ok?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"I love you dad? Your great? I forgive you for being stupid?"
"I forgive you." I may have anger problems but I cant hold a grudge worth shit.
"Good."
"And by the way Bella doesnt even know about the money."
"Oh, are you going to tell her?"
"Maybe."
"Have fun. Where are you going?"
"Chuck-e-cheeses." I muttered.
"You must really love this girl." He guffawed.
"Shes babysitting her neighbor!" I laighed incredously.
"Ok. Have fun." He chuckled again.
I jogged back outside and got back in the car.
"Everything ok?" Bella asked and put her hand on my knee. Her touch sent shocks all the up and down my leg.
"Yes, love. Everythings fine." I said and pulled out of the driveway.
"Emmett and the others are going to meet us there." She said.
"Great were going to have a Chuck-e-cheese mad house." I laughed.
"Probably." She laughed.
The music on the radio wasnt exactly appropraite for a 6 year old so Bella turned it.
"Sorry, but her momdoesnt want her to listen to profanity." Bella said.
"Its fine." I laughed.
"Hey Bella. Remember that one time you stubbed your foot on my door?" Chrissy giggled.
"Yes."
"Wasnt that profanity."
"Yes. And you better not have said anything to your mother about that missy."
"I did."
"What?!
"Just kidding."
"Uh. You better be nice or you arent getting my tickets."
"Ok I be good!"
"Im wicked at wack-a-mole." Bella said wiggling her eyebrows at me. I barked out a laugh.
We pulled up to Chuck-e-cheeses and the group was waiting for us.
"Eddie my man!" Emmett said and clapped me on the back. Jasper did the same.
"Idiots." I muttered.
"Hey! Were your besties!" Jasper defended.
I raised an eyebrow and burst out laughing.
We got a table and Bella ordered a pizza while everybody played games. She wouldnt let me pay for the tokens or food.
"Bella." I growled.
"Edward." She micked.
"Just let me pay."
"Nope."
"Your letting me pay. Either for the food or tokens. Pick." I said sternly.
"So assertive." She mumble.
"You can pay for the food." She laughed.
"Thank you." I sighed and got out my wallet.
"Emmett!" Bella scolded.
I looked over and rolled my eyes. Emmett was getting Chrissy to walk up to the top of the Skeeball thing and place the ball in the 10,000 hole.
"Dumbass." I muttered.
Bella sighed and took my hand.
"Come on. Your playing me at the water shooting game."
I chuckled and followed her.
We sat and both grabbed a hold of the water gun.
"Your going down Cullen." She said and narrowed her eyes at me.
"Oh I dont think so Swan." I smirked.
The loud beep went off and we both started squirting the red bullseye.
Bella won. Damn! She won almost 30 seconds before me! How did she do that?
"How did you do that?" I laughed.
"I have really good aim." She shrugged. Next we moved onto the basketball game.
"Really good aim huh?" I chuckled as Bella threw a ball at the hoop. It bounced off the rim and game flying back at her. sHe dunked but I caught it with my hand and shot it staright through the hoop.
"Show off." She muttered.
After we redeemed our tickets and ate we drove back to Bellas place.
"Your not going to leave us in this big scary house alone are you?" She pouted out her bottom lip.
"Your parents?"
"There gone at a hospital premotion party in Seattle for my father. They wont be back until tomorrow afternoon."
"I guess I could stay..."
"Yay." SHe said queitly and kissed me.
She made a bed on the floor for Chrissy and stuck a movie in. She layed in front of me on the couch. After the movie was over Chrissy was fast asleep and Bella turned over to face me.
"What happended this morning? If you dont mind me asking." She whispered.
"I dont know if I should tell you. It might upset you."
"You can tell me anything."
"I know that."
I sighed and brushed some hair from her beautiful face.
"When my grandparents were alive, they invested in a lot I mean a lot of money. When they passed they some of it to me."
She nodded for me to go along.
"My father was asking me about our date and if you knew about the money..." I trailed off hoping I didnt have to finish for her to get it.
She gasped quietly and her eyes glazed over.
"Edward I would never-No. Thats proposturous.-I love you for you, not for you money-"
"Shh. Love, I know. He said ealier when I went back home that he was sorry. He didnt really mean it." I wrapped my arms around her and held her to my chest.
Soon she was asleep breathing evenly on me. I buried my face in her sweet smelling hair and drifted off.
