It had been only less than an hour since I slid out of Bella’s window and raced through the forest to
getto my home. I had freshened up and changed for school. Funny I had never been eager for school
beforebut Bella had abruptly changed that
. She was changing more than just that though.
I signed and shookoff the thoughts.Alice threw me the keys of my Volvo. As I caught it she gave me a
solemn look and put her hands on herhips. She didn’t have to say anything. Or even think it for me to
know what she wanted. I wasn’t yetrinsed of my blissful mood so instead of answering her and
ruining the day before it began; I lookeddown and walked towards the back of the house. Rosalie was
already at her car. Thankfully her vanitywas my saviour today. All she could think about was whether
or not to give her shiny car a once overbefore parading it in school today.
Oh not riding with us again, Edward?
Emmett asked me.I turned around to look at him walking into the garage with Jasper close behind
him holding Alice‘s hand.Her face still had the pout firmly in place. I said nothing but my mood was
souring pretty quickly. Givingthem all a quick icy look, to silence their judgments, I climbed into my
car and backed out of the drive.My mood started to lift slowly the closer I got to Bella’s house. Closer
to having her near me again. Asmall part of me still hoped she would decline my invite. Refuse to ride
in my car. Reject being next tome. A small part of me wanted her to keep her distance. To ignore me.
But that small part was gettingsmaller with each day. I wasn’t sure if
that
was a good thing.I parked on the corner of her street and watched Charlie go pass in his cruiser then
swiftly pulled into hisspot on the drive.My eyes focused straight up to her room window. I saw
her steal a look through it, faintly hearing herheart skip half a beat as a lovely blush filled her cheeks.
She was obviously hoping that I would be hereagain. The same as yesterday. I wondered how long I
could continue this bizarre routine with her… Thisshould end it now. Before it’s too late.
It already is too late.
I thought remembering my anger at the similar words she spoke to me the othernight. Half growling
to myself I was uneasy now because I couldn’t find that comfortable spot I had beenin just recently.
Trying to make right of a very wrong situation with no hope in sight.I watched her carefully, without
making it apparent, as she closed her front door and walked towards thepassenger side of my car. I
almost hit the locks and bolted out of her drive but as she got closer Icouldn’t stop her, or rather I
didn’t want to stop her, from opening the door and climbing in. “Good morning” I said through a
smile I didn’t even know had formed. “How are you today?” I lookedover her face and remembered
how poorly she had slept. “Good, thank you.” she replied.Her eyes bright but the circles underneath
contradicted them “You look tired” I pushed, hoping to knowmore about what had kept her so
restless. “I couldn’t sleep” she said simply without further elaboration. How frustrating this still was.
Howfrustrating that I would never know. I watched her tuck her long brown hair around her
shoulder. Tryingto conceal her neck? Bella was trying to ease my
temptation
?! I shouldn’t be amused by the thought, butI couldn’t help it. Slightly disgusted with myself and
more so exasperated at her complete off sense of self preservation I let it go and started the engine
instead. “Neither could I” I replied to her casually.
She let out a small laugh as she responded “I guess that’s right. I suppose I slept just a little bit
morethan you did” “I’d wager you did” Before I could speak again her questions were back “So, what
did you do last night?” “Not a chance.” I interrupted, there was too much I didn’t know about her.
