So sorry I'm a little late with an update been so poorly but I have been writing in journal so all I had to do was copy it all down.
Anywayyyyyy...
Very quickly before we jump straight in...
Music that seriously helped me while writing this chapter.
Adam and the Ants- Stand and Deliver.
Adam and the Ants- Prince Charming
Courtney Barnett- Pickles from the Jar.
Adele- If it hadn't been for love.
The vogues - Turn around, look at me.
Dean Brody - Bring down the house. (Audio.)
Okay now lets do this!
I awake to a beaming white light filtering through my bedroom window.
Strange, I don't remember going to bed last night.
I lay in bed mentally going through the events of last night. The text message, Alice, The creepy collage, what else? EDWARD! He was here last night! But where is he now? I sit up in bed and look round the room.
huh. He's not in here.
Well it would be creepy if he was sat watching you sleep.
Creepy or sweet, like hes protecting me.
Creepy like a stalker Bella now focus!
I jump up out of bed and grab my favourite old cardigan while heading towards the bathroom.
After I'm done, I head towards the stairs from there I can smell what I think and really do hope is coffee. My stomach grumbles in anticipation. I quietly run down the stairs, avoiding the creaky fourth step, and head towards the kitchen. There he is, perfect as ever. He's sat drinking out of my favourite mug while flicking through a newspaper that get delivered every morning. "Did you know when you squint, you get this adorable v-shape on you forehead in between our eye brows."
I couldn't even stop that from coming out.
His head flew up from the paper, the look of surprise etched on his fine face. It was the same look as a child that had been caught red-handed in the cookie jar.
"Is that so?" He cocked his head to the side and squinted again. I burst out in fit of giggles which he joined for a few minutes before sobering up. " How are you this morning?" He asked face and voice full of concern.
" Oh, yeah, that. I'm better. Thankyou for last night, I didn't know what else to do and then you called and oh your ring tone is great..."
"Bella!" I stop talking looking straight at him."Stop rambling it's fie seriously. I'd do anything to help you." He got up and walked over to me. Next thing I knew I was pressed face first into his marvellous chest being attacked by the smell of sandalwood and fresh linen. After a few seconds of being frozen I wrap my arms around him, living in this moment. " Nothing will ever harm you while I'm around."
I pull back a little bit to look at him. " But you don't even know me. Why would you help me?"
Why does he keep saying stuff like that. He's only known you a few days.
"I can't Bella. I cant tell you just yet," I stare at him backing off him," no Bella I don't mean you no harm I could never hurt you." His expression looked pained.
" Edward what are you talking about? What do you mean you can't -"
You've got a friend in me. Baby you've got a friend in me...
I'm cut off by Alice's ringtone. " Hey Ali. What's up?" I stare at Edward's face hoping to get some sort of expression from him.
" Don't tell me you've forgot." Oh shit" Bella, we need to go shopping!"Oh no." For some sexy Liberian outfits for that cute boy we saw yesterday!"
I can feel my face flush red. " Oh Ali I'm sorry I forgot when are we going? I've not even had coffee yet."I whined down the phone. I really just want to Edward today and find out what's going on.
"I'll give you an hour then your mine. Tell Eddie I say Hey!" With that she cuts the line. Some times with Alice I can just swear she's a witch sometimes.
" So Alice say hey." He looked at me strangely. I hold up my hand " Don't ask. I want answers Edward." I give him my best pointed look. You know the one that says. I dare you to lie to me, that sort of look. He's quiet for a few minutes, looking like his got some sort of internal battle going on inside him.
" Bella," He strangles out," I can't. You don't understand. Please I just need time." I sigh looking down. " No, Bella, please. I don't want to keep this from you but a lot is at stake here. It's not just you. It's..." Again with a pained expression. I reach out my hand placing it on his face.
" What Edward. What is it? You have to give me something. The least you can you is promise me you'll tell me on our date. I need that much at least." He look up in shock. His mouth opens as if to answer me but I cut him off. " I am a reasonable person Edward, giving you 3 days to figure something out to tell me is more than enough."
He sighed and looked down. "Fine, your right. I guess I could give you that much at least." He looked behind me towards the clock. " I best be going, your friend we be here soon anyway." He got up and just left. Just like that. No goodbye, no nothing.
Rude dick.
I run towards the window to watch him leave to see he's no where in site. "Bella! you ready?" Right on queue as always Ali
" Yeah two mins A. I'm just going to throw some clothes on. "
We decided to make a full complete day of shopping and drove to Seattle over an hour away from Forks. Alice had taken it upon her self to deem my clothing choices unfit now I need a new wardrobe. So after a few hours of shopping we decide the best plan would be to drop our bags in the car and head over to the food court for a much needed coffee break. After I get the steaming hot cup of joe in my hands Al starts talking all about Jasper before I eventually cut her off.
"Al, you hardly know the guy! Just promise me you wont' do anything to drastic." I please with my eyes to her. She waves her hand in front of my face laughing that I worry to much. I guess that's the difference between me and Alice. I've always been the worry type, looking over my shoulder at all times, where as she has always been so carefree and lively. But they do say opposite attracted and maybe that's why we've been friends for as long as we have.
After a few more hours of shopping Alice finally drives us back home. Due to rush hour traffic and some form of accident, she gets me home for around 8 at night with strict instructions on what to wear tomorrow for my first day at work. I hauled all my bags inside and shut the door behind me leaning on it blowing my hair from my face. I start to move towards the stairs when there's a knock at the door.
Bet you've forgot something again.
I walk towards the door and yank it open. That's not Alice... No it's Edward. What does he want.
" Edward? What's the matter? Why do you look like that. " He looks like he did the first night, mysterious, his eyes have a sort of glow about them. Only he looks like he did this morning too. Pained.
" Bella I need to tell you want I am. "
" Wait. What you are that makes no sense. You're human. "
" No, Bella, I'm..."
OH NO SHE DIDN'T !
Oh wait Yes I did:)
And I'm not even sorry :)
Stayed tuned guys to find out what he is!
