SM OWNS TWILIGHT.

Two weeks later, I put my big girl panties on and accept a date with Mr. Evans. It's not the first date I've been on since Edward left, far from it actually. The only difference now is that I see Edward pretty regularly. I'm just more determined to not let his presence…run my life.

I was so damn hurt and borderline destructive with myself when he wasn't here…and now I see it was all for nothing. I expected a little more from him or maybe I expected too much of him too fast. Whatever it is I think I need to think of myself now.

I have my answers, I know why he left. It wasn't because I'm a horrible person to be with…or that I couldn't keep him interested in me physically. No, it was all him and his issues. Now, it's still him and his issues.

I actually feel relieved when I say yes to David. I'm not carrying that burden of not being good enough for Edward.

I am good enough. I'm a good mother. I'm a damn good teacher. And I can be with a man and make him happy, if he makes me happy.

"You've made me the luckiest guy, Bella," David says with his perfect smile and sparkling blue eyes. "And I know that was completely cheesy, but you love it cause you're blushing." he laughs. I like how his eyes crinkle at the corners.

"Did you really think I'd turn you down?"

"Um…actually, yeah. You turned me down two times already."

He's right. But it's all about timing. The minute he introduced himself, he asked me out…cocky bastard. He was so sure I would say yes. I have to give it to him though, it was in the tip of my tongue to say yes. There were other things that my tongue wanted to do to him but that would come later.

"You asked me out in front of the whole student body. Everyone was hollering 'yeah, hit that shit, Mr. Evans!'" he barks out a laugh and I can't help but giggle. I slap his arm and he catches my hand, keeping it with him on his lap. I'm thankful we're alone in the break room.

That little stunt he pulled got us in trouble with the principal. Nothing too serious but we both left his office giggling like teenagers. And also we're not allowed to watch the students during an auditorium meeting anymore.

David is the coolest teacher in this school…or so I've heard from every student that walks into my class. The guys think he's a player and the girls drool over him. He has a fun personality that gets his student's attention, I've seen him at work…and let's just say it's the best foreplay I've had in a long time.

So yeah, I think he's pretty cool too.

Who do I imagine as our hot teacher, David Evans? Well Chris Evans of course! Oh damn, I want to wreck that man so bad! Bella's so lucky!
