Chapter 21 - May I imagine?
I was not three feet from the door when I painfully remembered that I had no jacket, no purse and no cash on me. The frown I stopped at the lift, and thought hard. I did not have my bag in his apartment to find out, either in the bedroom, still in his ultra-modern living room. Without money, I would not get far, because I could not exactly run transversely through Seattle. With grim compressed lips I put my body in motion, slow, since all of my body functions in standby mode. Prior to his door I clenched my finger into a small fist and began to knock on to it. In the middle of the movement, I dropped his hand again, because I left the courage. I nervously chewed on my lip, until she felt very swollen.
Again, I raised his fist and I let them fall again. Frustrated by my cowardice, I leaned back against the door to gain new courage, when it was opened and I fell into it backwards. Before I could hit the floor tiles, I was caught by strong arms. He stood behind me and hooked his arms under my armpits while I was practically in front of him. I looked up and his beautiful Face was directly above me.
"Whom have we here?" He asked in a provocative grin, "I thought you wanted the quickest way home."
Damn, this embarrassing appearance nasty to me all my departure from before. A bit embarrassed, I looked up and hoped I would not so, unfortunately even start red, like a fire alarm. The treacherous heat in my cheeks destroyed that hope in a flash and I closed irritated eyes.
"If you had perhaps the quality aufzuhelfen me?" I asked, offended, and pulled up the nose.
He laughed cheerfully and pulled me effortlessly to the top. Where had this guy just his strength come from? Sure, he was quite muscular, but lean more to the lanky kind, shot through my head. Nevertheless, he had something incredibly enticing and I was sure that he looked absolutely sensational naked. The heat in my face, reached its peak and I tried my thoughts in another direction to steer before I started drooling here and I completely embarrassed.
Mad at myself, I knocked the non-existent dust from the expensive designer pants and sat up. Snapped and insulted with a pout, I looked at him defiantly. For seconds, he stared grimly back until it gently twitched his mouth. The twitching increased more and more, until he broke out into peals of laughter. This was so loud, warm and infectious that I could not help but tune in it. Spluttering we would spend the stomach, decrease during this hilarity and left us both with their backs to the wall along the ground. Sometime after our laughter and I could see was the close of Edward sat next to me and looked at me smiling.
"You have 'ne number, Swan are," he grinned.
"Similarly, Cullen," I replied, still amused, "Can I now have my purse?"
"Sorry, Bella," he said regretfully, "but that is the reason why you're here at all. Your handbag was found. After your dropouts you're just fallen over and fallen asleep. Your blonde girlfriend is furious turned onto Emmett, when he joined them later, and he brought them out to thrash out the somewhere else with it. Apparently successful, because they are not turned up again. Your George was quite busy so carrying his drunk mother home, and Alice, well, that hung like a drink of water in Jasper's arms while he tried to revive her. But she has babbled just confuse things before him and smiled at him in love, at least until they are blessed with a Face is asleep. "
alerted I looked at him.
"What exactly do you mean with" dropouts "?" I insisted.
he looked away quickly and looked earnestly the tips of his highly polished leather shoes.
"Edward," I said a threatening tone, "You tell me right now, what else happened last night, otherwise ..."
Frech he looked at me.
"Otherwise what? Bewirfst you see me with cotton balls or punched you back in your hot, short dresses on the counter, just like last night. "
If my cheeks burned before, so now more all the color out of them. I literally fell down the jaw, in his statement.
"The .... That was .... ... ... .. Now just a joke. Or? Say, that's not true. "
Regretfully, he shook his head.
"Sorry, dear, but I must disappoint you. That was really the hottest thing I've ever seen, sweetness. I've no idea that you can twist up Sun Supple and smooth to drive with an undeniable talent, all the men in one room to the madness. For me at least, all synapses are burned in my brain when I saw you dance. And you know what? " he whispered softly.
"What?"
"It was just for me, baby! You have seen me all the time in the eyes as your hands over your body when you're moving your hips in a rhythm, let me wish I was at this moment in you. Just that you have presented to you yet, dear, it is still. "
I was silent, completely charmed by its hypnotic voice and the hungry gleam in his eyes. I coughed concerned when I realized how obsessed he was actually on me. This guy was pure dynamite, and I would fly into the air when I was not looking.
"Mei mei .. think ... you, you can lend me ka ... a few dollars for the taxi? "I stuttered over his head.
His head slammed against the wall and totally frustrated, he completed his eyes, his arm was dangling about his legs drawn up.
"You make me crazy yet," he whispered tormented.
I quickly scrambled to me and looked down at him uncertainly.
"I'd better go then," I said softly and walked back to the door. I would somehow get home, but now I just wanted to get away. That I had listed last night, like a bitch, gnawing at me and I just wanted to be in my bed and I crawl. I wish that the ground had opened before me and devoured me, so embarrassing to me was all. Unfortunately I had to my regret, to make even the late shift at the diner, so it was over with the idea that I include in my bedroom and hide in me until I die there. Apart from that, my son would come back again tonight and then it was over with the rest anyway. The thought of my son again conjured up a small smile on my face. The little guy I did incredible and I was infinitely pleased him today wiederzuhaben evening.
"Edward, forget everything that happened yesterday, okay! Fortunately, I can not remember and hope I will never be. This is terribly embarrassing to me really and I would be grateful if you will no longer talk about it. Goodbye. "
Again, I was on my way out the door, as his voice held me back one more time.
"Bella, wait," he shouted after me.
I turned to him.
He was still sitting on the floor and pushed his hand into his pocket to fish out something from it. It was a car key, as I had to find him and he threw to me.
"This is the key to my Aston Martin. He parks in front of the entrance, is fully fueled and ready to go. Bring him to the simple Dinner tonight and I will meet him there. He is fully insured, you need to worry not so, if you are driving him to scrap, "he said evenly.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked dumbfounded and stared at the keys in my hand. So I did not expect in a dream.
"I must surely ensure that you come home safely, after I've been kidnapped here. And I can imagine that you can not go up from me, you drive yourself just "
it was an uncontrollable fit of niceness, or just a change in his tactics? Confused, I shook my head.
"I can not take this car. Before such a vehicle I have a whale of respect. It would really prefer if you give me some interpretations money so I can take the train or a taxi. "
With closed eyes, he leaned against the wall and shook his head.
"You're so stubborn, but if you want to have necessarily so, please," he said annoyed a trace.
"Fine," I gasped, because he was offended because of that.
"fine," he pouted like a child who had taken away his toys. He probably thought I would go with joy in the air because he trust me with their set of wheels wanted. Although, they probably deserved luxury car so not a label. It was probably not often that someone to drive this car just turned down the opportunity, but even when I was a very safe driver, so I did not trust me not to draw this PS Monster to accidents by Seattle. I impatiently shifted from one foot to the other, but did not trust me more, ask him about the money, because I was terribly uncomfortable. He rose with his usual elegance and looked down at me. Then he turned and went into the next room and came back with a handful of dollar bills. He grabbed my hand and pressed the money into the inner surface.
"There! I hope it is agreeable to the lady now, "said he exaggerated.
He carried on like a small child, I do not melted with gratitude, because he once had the kindness and like any normal, helpful people behaved.
"Thanks," I said haughtily arrogant and pulled my nose up. What could he, I mastered a long time. "You can remove me from the next payroll."
He just snorted and walked to the door to open it myself. He threw me out about?
"You wanted to go so, is not it? See you tonight at dinner. I want you to go with me through the current figures and tell me precisely on will inform the processes. Your Lou is a nice guy, but he can grind some. From now on a different wind is blowing, because I have to make before, from this store as a profitable business. You will help me because I do not unfortunately have the time to me every day even to care. I hope Lou has not been exaggerating when he praised you so in the sky. Now you have to show what is inside you. I wish you a good day, "he finished his presentation.
I swallowed and pushed me past him without him another look, or even saying goodbye. His words seeped slowly through to me and I got slight panic. What he expected of me now? I was just a little waitress, but had a decent education, but otherwise not much had vorzuweisen. The dinner I helped Lou went so well there and sometimes I would have done some things differently, as he owned the place but not me and I would not presume to question his decisions. How should it continue, now that Lou was gone, stood still in the stars, but Edward seemed determined to set me imposing as much work as possible. The next weeks will be determined very hard, because his continued presence could throw me off track. I also felt quite the stubborn desire to show him what was really in me.
With the subway, I went home because a taxi was very expensive. My next concern was the fate of my handbag and I went around from my bank to block my credit card to leave. On my account was not to get much, but a cover of the card by a stranger would ruin me financially. After that was done and the friendly man behind the counter assured me that I would not be held liable for any damage, I went home reassured. The walk did me good and helped me to cure a hangover. At home I sat in my easy chair and closed her eyes tired.
had yet to return to work one and a half hours I and that I wanted to use to rest a little. But the blade at the front door put an end to any recovery attempt. I opened my eyes and did not move from the spot. Perhaps like the person who was always them too, just give up and disappear if I did not open. Nope! The ringing at the door stopped and was really pushing. Sauer I got up and strode to the door. This representative would still wish that he had passed over the house on his tour. Enraged, I flung open the door and sat at a dressing down that had washed up when I saw that it was Alice, my door was completely swollen from crying.
"Bella!" she cried pitifully, "I threw up Jasper."
Now she really began to cry and I moved into my arms. Even though I was not tall, she looked small and fragile next to me.
"I've already heard it, Alice! Do not worry, I have been told that I'm off to a hot dance on the bar. This is much worse. to vomit is on the list of the most painful events, not number one. Believe me, "I assured as convincing as possible.
looked at me doubtfully.
"Have you been Edward Cullen as well as your love and before all other guests in the club? "she asked with unmistakable sarcasm in his voice.
"Uh, no!"
"Look!" She said to me, "Then I must have in first place."
"What's happened? I have a total blackout and had not realized what Jasper has done to you. "
" I am this morning in Jasper's house woke up, "Alice said quietly," but unlike you, I could already remember the last night. I can never connect him back under the eyes. How could I have him in front of everyone and the entire staff my love confess, Bella? This is embarrassing not only for me but first and foremost for him. "
" Have you not spoken to him? ", I wondered.
"He has taken a shower when I awoke. I put on myself and I just left before he came out of the bathroom. "
" If yesterday night went something between you? "
She shook her head.
"No, I was much too broad. All I know is that I woke up with him, he lay down on his bed and helped me out of his clothes. Then he disappeared into the next room and I am back to sleep. How should I act now against him because, Bells, "she said desperately," it will be the best, but if I quit. My presence there is, but become untenable for him. "
" You look much too negative, Alice. Look, "I continued," He's not even his girlfriend behind, but has remained close to you. He has cared for you and made you even taken to his home. This means something. "
" If it would only be true, "she whispered," but he would probably just do not think I took just a disgrace and has brought me so from the club. But I'm not just here to tell you all that, but you bring back your handbag. I have taken yesterday along with me, without realizing it. I hope you had therefore no inconvenience. "
Relieved, I took the bag to me, happy that I now had to change not the locks on the doors.
"Thank you Alice, I thought it would a stranger. I had the card blocked, but something can be reversed. The main thing I have them again. "
" I have to go again, Bells. We will see. "
Before I could react, pressed they give me a kiss on the cheek and disappeared. I went into my kitchen, I put on coffee and ate a snack beforehand. Then I got rid of fine clothes and slipped into dark blue jeans and a black turtleneck sweater. I took back the hair and threw it into a knot at the neck. I gave up on make-up altogether.
uncertain of what I would expect even made today, I am on the way to go to work and Edward Cullen. On the way I stopped still in the bank to make the reverse blocking and encouraging me to buy cash. I wanted to be Edward owe nothing!
He was not there, when I arrived. Should I wear the uniform, or did he know that I went through it with only the numbers, which made getting changed unnecessary. I decided to be seen and made myself useful in the kitchen. I replaced the filter of the hood and checked the cleanliness of all possible and impossible places. Cleanliness was in operation, the food prepared, the A and O. The rules were very strict here and we wanted to leave so as not guilty. It was all in good order and I went into the office to wait for Edwards arrival. The phone rang and I answered it.
"Lou's Diner! Bella Swan on the phone, what can I do for you? " I rattled down our usual little speech.
"Mum", my Danny screamed into the phone, "may I use your cell phone from the teacher. I'll be at home. "
" Oh darling, that's wonderful! I am already so for you and can not wait to finally close up in his arms. I love you more than anything, honey, "I answered him.
"I love you too terribly, Mom! Until then! I'll have to, as long as I can not. "
He hung up and I gently put the receiver back to the station. It was wonderful the tender voice of my son's and I was very sorry to hear that I could not get it themselves. Bibi would do this for me! At the thought of my friend, I had to sigh. The conversation with her was still on, but so far there was no opportunity. I would tonight, catch up over a meal. I feared that they had the feeling I was angry with her, though it was not possible to bring against their long-term negative feelings. I wanted to explain to her only that she is not so massively interfere in my private life was allowed because it was my decision still, with whom I spent my time. I turned around and winced slightly when I am face to face was with Edward.
He had come so quietly that I will not hear him. How much of my conversation he had overheard? It was also clear to me that he would find out sooner or later by Danny, he just had time to look into the personnel file. But this time I wanted to delay as long as possible.
His expression did not bode well! Pinched, he squeezed the beautiful mouth and glared at a point on the wall behind me. He seemed to be searching for words and found this quite quickly. His voice was cold and hissing like the hissing of a cobra. I had never seen him so dark as now.
"How many men have you actually, you think you at the bar, Isabella? "he asked quietly dangerous. It was worse than if he had screamed and the subtle anger frightened me more than anything else. Threatening, he came closer and grabbed me around the waist.
"How many, Bella?" Urged he, "You're sitting at home in your bed and are thinking about you, which please your victims you next to them unsatisfied behind."
"So it's not!" Said I tore myself away and frightened, "I am not a male murderous woman. This is a category woman, maybe in your circle of friends common practice is, but I do not belong to this species. I'm not looking for "victims" and I play no games, that's more your resort. Stop it, demonizing me, just because you did not create me down flat. "
Abruptly he let go of me and turned back to me. He breathed heavily, the anger left his entire body twitching uncontrollably and I started to forge a serious flight plans. But before I could put them into action, he turned back and was completely calm. He had buried all of his feelings under a mask, just in his eyes was still a cold sparkle to be seen.
"We should get to work!"
He went to the table where a stack of file folders were lined up and moved to a thorough inspection of the labels out.
"We start here with this," he said without emotion.
Two hours later did I hurt your neck, unusual on the attitude and I stretched to loosen my tense muscles. However, I listened to it immediately when I saw his greedy glance which passed over my forms. It was amazing that he flew at me, because in contrast to that Tracey, to Jessica, or even to the woman he had at that time in the park there, I was not equipped very exciting. I regret that I was rather graceful and my chest measured just a good handful, making it a bra actually redundant. But it did not seem to interfere in the least, on the contrary!
"Does it make you mind if we insert a pause. I have to eat something urgently, "I asked cautiously.
"No, I could even tolerate a little. We do a half hour break and then continue to make immediately. I must admit you are better informed about the details than I thought. "
earlier Upon his escape, he treated me cold, but with courtesy. Maybe he was now cured of his desire rumzukriegen me when he was in faith, that he was not the only man who strove for me. Edward Cullen did not like the competition and was too good with other men while courting a woman.
ordered the dinner I eat and what he did the same to me. As I bit into my burger, went to the door and I let my food fall onto the plate.
"Mom!" I yelled against Danny, who came in, accompanied by Bibi, "Mom, I do not want to wait that long. I've missed you so hot. "
He jumped into his arms and wrapped his small, thin arms around me. I pressed him hard on me and gave him a kiss on the hair.
"I'm looking forward too, honey. Mummy misses you so, "I whispered in his ear happy. I did not care that Edward could hear me. Eventually he would learn it anyway. When I saw him, Danny laid down on me, I looked into a man's face completely shocked.
Can "I think, Edward? This is my son Daniel, "
