The next morning, I didn't have to start as early. I met up with her and the other security guard at her school.
When I got there, he left. I saw Bella walk out of her classroom talking to a boy. I couldn't help but feel jealous.
She looked behind him and saw me. She was saying something to him and I tried to read her lips but I couldn't. She pointed at me and he turned to look at me. He looked pretty pissed off.
Then Bella walked over to me. "Can you do me a favor?" she asked.
I pulled off my glasses, "Of course," I said, "Anything." Meaning it 100%.
"Okay," she said, "That kid over there's name is Mike. He won't leave me alone so I kind of told him you're my boyfriend."
I liked the sound of that. I smirked at her, "Why didn't you just say I was your bodyguard?" I asked her.
She blushed a little, "I-I-"
I smiled, moving the ear piece out of my ear and tucking it into my shirt. "Come on," I said putting my arm around her and we walked over to this Mike kid.
"Hi," I said, "I'm Bella's boyfriend, Edward."
"So you're her boyfriend?" he said.
I raised an eyebrow, "Is that a problem?" I asked.
"Why are you dressed like security?" he asked.
"I'm a lawyer," I said, "Why so many questions?"
"Oh," he said. Ignoring my question.
"Yeah," I said, and then I looked at Bella, "Let's go, Love." I led her to the car, holding open her door for her.
I climbed into my side of the car and Bella looked at me and smiled. Then she leaned over and kissed my cheek, "Thank you," she said.
I looked at her, "Of course," I said.
I put the earpiece back in and heard the president talking, "Edward!" he yelled.
"Yes, Sir," I said.
"Why weren't you answering me?" he asked.
"Oh," I said, "I'm sorry. I was taking care of a boy who wouldn't leave B-Miss Swan alone."
"Oh," he said, "Did he leave her alone?"
"Yes, Sir," I said.
"Good," he said, "So you have Bella?"
"Yes," I said.
"Okay," he said.
"Did I get you in trouble?" Bella asked.
I looked at her and smiled, "No," I said, pulling the car in reverse and started backing out of the parking lot. "It's fine."
"Okay," Bella said.
We were both quiet for a minute, "Did you have fun last night?" I asked.
She smiled, "Yes," she said.
"I'm glad," I said, "Alice really likes you. She wants to hang out sometime."
"Really?" she asked, her eyes lighting up.
"Yeah," I said, "Why do you sound so surprised?"
She looked back out her window. "Normally people only want to be with me because I have money or I'm the president's daughter," she said softly, "It's just weird for someone to like me…. For me."
"Mike seems to like you for you," I said, the jealousy rolling off me.
"Yeah, but he's creepy," she said with a shiver.
I laughed and stopped the car in the driveway. I turned and looked at her, "I like you for you," I said.
She rolled her eyes. "You don't need to lie to make me feel better," she said, "My father literally paid you to be my friend.
It broke my heart to hear her say that. I know that I told President Sawn that I was trying to be her friend to earn her trust, and part of that was true, but I also wanted to be Bella's friend because I liked her. "I'm not lying," I said, reaching out to touch her face before I could even think about it, "Why would I lie about that? You're an amazing person. You're smart, sweet, beautiful, and you know who you are. You don't let anyone change you." We stared at each other and she started to move in. Then she kissed me.
