Hello my friends! Sorry about the delay. Thanks to my beta Jo, my dirty amiga.
LOTR is my story but you know, Twilight, Edward and Bella belong to SM
Chapter 2
For almost a week, I waited every day hoping to see Edward again on the same bus. Everything in my life was a routine; wake up, get a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, run to catch the bus, then speak with Sam and deal with men pigs.
But since the day I met Edward, I was very anxious to see him again. I must confess, that was the first time I had really enjoyed talking with some guy during my trip to Port Angeles. Usually, I wore headphones - my ipod is my best friend – and I just listened to music without paying attention to my surroundings. There are days when I concentrate on tests for students, but I never start a conversation with a stranger.
Ok, I sound apathetic, but it's really not exciting to travel on the bus, especially when sometimes I'm pressed into the hallway. Not to mention the times I had to show my best bitch face to some guy. So, Edward had been a breath of fresh air.
Thursday. It had been three days since I met him and three days since the last time I saw him. Tuesday and Wednesday passed without surprises, and I began to have the feeling that Edward was a dream, a beautiful dream. It was too good to be true. I was about to lose faith and believe that my mind had created this encounter. Although, I think even in my best fantasies, I have never created someone so perfect.
"It seems someone has the pillow on the face this morning," I heard. Sam was laughing at me.
"Hmm, sorry. I´m still sleepy, I guess. Good morning, a very good morning it seems. The bus is full," I said looking at the people standing.
"Like always, Bella, even more when we are so close to the weekend," he said closing the bus door.
"Yeah, I can´t wait for the weekend. I´m exhausted," I sighed. Again I passed through the crowd, looking for a breathing space. I didn´t see an empty seat, so I leaned on one of the seats and turned up the volume on my ipod. And then, I felt it, the electricity now on my shoulder.
"I´m losing my mind," I thought. I didn´t turn around, but again the same electricity. I moved trying to see something very slyly, but someone caught my arm.
"What the hell…..?" I looked up and I found those green eyes. "Oh."
"Sorry, I didn´t want to annoy you. I should have known you are the most dangerous woman on the bus," he joked.
I laughed. "I´m sorry Edward, I didn´t see you." Since Monday, I thought.
"I know, too many people today. I usually don´t travel on Thursday." Very good information.
"Really? And how many days do you?", I asked pretending disinterest.
"Just Monday and Wednesday." He smiled at me. Hmm. Beautiful.
"That's good to know."
"Why?", he asked, surprised.
"Well, in that way, I won´t kick you when you grab my arm again." I laughed.
"Oh, I knew you were dangerous!", he teased me.
"A woman must know how to defend herself," I said, biting my lip.
"I´m sure about that. I've seen you in action already." We both laughed. The girl next to him left the seat and Edward moved so I could sit with him.
"Exhausting week?", he asked and I turned to see his beautiful face.
"Yeah. This is the worst time of the year. Tests, tests and more tests. Sometimes it feels like it never ends," I sighed. "I need the weekend. Badly."
"I know the feeling, even with just a few hours every week, it can be stressful. Even more when you have to deal with some specimens."
"But you can't compare that kind of specimens with some here," I teased him.
"True." We kept silent, but I could feel Edward's restlessness. "No plans for the weekend?"
"Hmm, I don´t know yet. I would love to stay home and get some sleep but with Alice you never know."
"Alice?"
"She is my best friend. Probably you know her, she works at the same college."
"Probably." He smirked and looked amused like he had just heard a great joke. Hmm.
"Alice is a person with a great amount of energy. You never know what is up with her."
"There is someone in my family exactly like that." He laughed.
"Then, you know what I´m suffering. " We laughed about it. His phone started to ring and that was my final point. I didn´t want to disturb him.
"Hey...yes, I´m on my way. Hmm, I can´t, I already changed my hours. Find someone else. Bye".
"Everything okay?", I asked, trying to get more information.
Edward sighed. "They wanted to change my hours again at the college".
"That bad, huh?"
"Actually, they want more hours of music classes, but I cant´t do it. Sometimes it's difficult to reconcile the teaching of music and my work at the hospital", he said running his fingers in his hair.
"And why don´t you chose? It must be stressful."
"Yeah, it is, but I love doing it. Teaching music is like a therapy for me."
"You don´t play professional?", I asked him. I needed to know more about Edward.
"Not anymore. I play sometimes, but just for my own enjoyment".
"I would love to hear you someday". Edward looked at me and I blushed. Seriously, this man makes me feel on fire. Suddenly, the bus stopped and our trip came to the end. "No running today?", I asked while walking with him.
"Nope, I have time, how about you?", he smiled.
"Hmm, I have a few minutes before class".
"If I invite you to get coffee, then what would you say?". Oh..coffee equals more time with Edward.
"Sure" Yes!

"Why is music your therapy?", I asked while drinking my coffee. Edward looked at me surprised.
"It´s ok if you don´t want to answer. Sorry." Now I felt stupid.
"Don´t worry. That's the first time someone has asked me that. Music has always been relaxing for me. I can keep playing for hours without noticing anything that might be happening around me." He sipped his coffee. How can you describe how perfect his lips are? How I imagine it would be to have his lips on mine?
"Bella." I left my induced coma to realize that Edward was watching me and laughing.
"Hmm, sorry," I said nervously.
"What were you thinking about? And don´t tell me nothing because you´re blushing." He winked. Dear God, I`m dead.
"I´m not blushing." I tried to drink my coffee, but how can you deny something so obvious?
"Yes, you are," he insisted.
"You know, I´m late." I looked at my watch. "Shit! It´s late, very late. I have to go Edward. Thanks for the coffee."
"Sure, but if you won´t answer my question now, then next time you will."
"Yeah, next time," I said leaving the table. "See you soon." Saved by the bell.
xxxxxxx
The hours passed by very fast, and the tests were done in record time. I don´t know if that was because my students knew everything or they didn´t. I was in the classroom, when I heard a musical voice.
"Bells, are you done for today?"
"I guess so. Why? What do you have in mind?". I asked her.
"Why do you think I´ve got plans?"
"Alice, I know you."
"Fine," she said and I smiled. "I was thinking we'd get some coffee and maybe I can drive you home, too."
"No coffee, please", I said feeling my face getting red.
"Ohh, you are blushing, but I don´t see why a coffee can be so interesting," she teased me. I sat down frustrated.
"That guy again? From the bus?". Caught! Damn it.
"How ...?"
"Bella, you are smiling, something I haven't seen since Monday and I`m sure he is involved somehow".
"He invited me for a coffee…"
"And?"
"He has the most amazing lips on earth". I sighed.
"You kissed him?", she said with a giggle.
"What? No! No, I didn´t".
"Then why are you talking about his lips?", I was going to answer but Alice was faster. "Bella Swan!" She giggled.
"I just stared at him while he was sipping his coffee, his pouty lips just...now he must be thinking that I´m stupid. It´s embarrassing."
"No, it´s not Bella. Don´t worry, at least he knows you are interested in him."
I was in shock. "I´m not."
"Yeah, sure. What do you know about him?"
"Besides him being a doctor and music teacher, not much."
"I should ask Jasper. He probably he knows this guy. Edward, right?" I nodded.
"I've got a feeling about this guy, Bells," Alice said coyly. I rolled my eyes.
"No visions here, please."
"Come on, he is close to you, he´s working here and you two met on the bus. I call it fate."
"Oh, God! You too with this fate thing!", She was surprised. "Edward said exactly the same thing."
"Great, I like the guy already." She winked at me. "Our mision is to find this man."
"Our?"
"Yes. This man is meant to be for you, girl." She said and giggled. This is not good.
"Alice, don´t you have to go home?", I asked trying to free myself from her.
"Yep, but first I have an invitation. Tomorrow we are going to go to a bar and listen to music. Do you want to come with us?"
"Us? Who is us?"
"Jasper, and my big brother Emmet. You remember him, right?", I rolled my eyes.
"Of course, who can forget Emmett? and ¿how I´m going to forget your family?"
"Great! Rose will be there too, at least, I hope so, she is really weird lately. Oh, and my brother Eddie."
"Eddie?"
"You probably you don´t remember him because it´s been a while. He left Forks very young to study. So, what do you say? Come on, it´s going to be fun!"
"Hmm, I don´t know..."
"Please?", Alice showed me her puppy eyes.
I huffed. "Fine. I hate when you do that. Maybe I really need some free time."
"I'll pick up you tomorrow."
"Hmm, no Alice. I will be here. I will go, just text me the address and I´ll join you there."
"Okay. Are you sure you want to stay here? I can drive you."
"I know you can, but I need to get some work done. I don´t want to deal with all these papers this weekend. Besides, I don´t like the attention it brings leaving in a yelllow Porsche." I laughed.
"Well, some have a yellow Porsche, others a truck. I don´t see the big deal." She frowed and I couldn´t stop laughing.
"Alice, I´m just kidding by the way. The big deal is the speeding."
"Oh, I forgot, you don´t like the speed." She teased me. "But I do hope you will be fast to catch that "amazing lips" guy."
"Ha, ha, ha, very funny." She giggled.
"See you tomorrow, Bells."
Looking down at my desk, I was surronded by papers, papers, and more papers. I sighed. "Yeah, definitely. I need some fun."
