Bella's pov
Saturday was just like every other Saturday I've spent here, well I'm still grounded of course like every Saturday I've spent here. I missed my gadgets and freedom a bit. I really can't believe that I've been grounded most of my stay here, its not that hard to believe though.
Mom, dad, Debbie and George had gone to the Edward's for lunch or something, I wasn't allowed to tag along which I was actually grateful for, I was in no mood to deal with Chris and sisters. Dora had probably not forgiven me for what I said, she seemed to be the bad cop amongst Darcy and her. I wasn't annoyed about it, scratch that, I was really happy. I was not fond of Darcy and I would rather not have double of her on my tail.
I opened another harlequin series, it was like the fifth I've opened today, I couldn't get one to take my mind off everything which was so not usual for me. Well I won't blame the books for their incapability of keeping me occupied charging to the fact that I've read each the 12 Harlequin books I had over three times already.
Ugh I really need a trip to the bookstore.
Like dad would allow that. Ugh my life sucks.
I threw the book carelessly to the dressing table which ended in a total miss, it fell right at the foot of my bed, talk about a suckered at basketball. I chuckled at my lame attempt to humour myself. I lay back on my bed trying to fall asleep.
Thoughts of my life in these few weeks of my being here flooded my mind. I remembered the fact that I hadn't been in on the idea of coming here but thought it would be great after my glimpse at that amazing waterfall but to hell with that, it all turned out terrible, in a space of four weeks I've been grounded twice, I've fallen in and out of love with an annoying creepy guy, I've managed to get a whole bunch of enemies, if that wasn't a sign that coming to New Orleans was not a good idea then I don't know what is. I really wish I could convince my parents to let me go back to our house at Oklahoma and begin school over there since the house hasn't been sold but I knew they'd probably whack me for even having the idea.
Ugh, I groaned as I got up from bed, there was no friggin way I could fall asleep with all these thoughts getting into my mind, I went down to the kitchen, I heard someone rustling around there but I knew it was just Annie, our housekeeper, or one of the other two helps who I didn't know their names, mom must've mentioned it but I didn't really care to remember it since the weren't meant to be here whenever we were home.
"Hey Annie." I said as I went to grab a drink in the refrigerator.
"Er.... hi Miss." She replied sounding nervous. "I did not know you would be home" She said speaking formally. She saw me as one of her bosses which pissed me off, she was like five or six years ahead of me in age.
" It's okay Annie, hope there's no problem." I said in a casual way which contrasted with the way she spoke to me.
"No Miss, I came to drop the groceries." She replied pointing to the paper bags that were on the counter.
"Alright, I'll leave you to it." I concluded seeing that she won't dare to regard me as a 'normal person', if that was the right term for it. I picked a can of mango juice and a glass cup and left for the sitting room. I preferred orange juice and always would but I learnt earlier that my system couldn't handle citrus, it always made me have difficulty in breathing then I'd faint from low blood pressure then wake up two hours later with a very high fever which lasted for a week with medications and could get worse without. Mom and dad banned anything citrus from our house for fear that I could mistakenly take some.
I browsed through channels looking for something I could watch but nothing seemed to fascinate me. The doorbell rang and I looked at the digital wall clock, it read 6:30pm, I really didn't think the Edward's would let mom and dad leave without dinner so I didn't think they'd be the one at the door, But then again they could be the ones, I turned off the TV and sat quietly waiting for Annie to open the door but the bell rang again indicating that Annie must've left. I dragged my feet lazily to the door and opened it.
"Hey beautiful!" Chris said. I suddenly felt cold. He towered me with his height, I know Chris was taller than me but by only three inches, now he madame look like a dwarf. His skin was really pale, his eyes weren't their usual sky blue colour, they looked dilated in a cobalt blue colour. His hair was a dirty blonde and stood out in every side unlike his usual brown hair colour which fell back in a well mannered way.
"Your ogling beautiful." He said with an amused look.
"What do you want?!" I said in a defensive tone.
"Whoa love, calm down, I'm not here to hurt you." He said with a smirk.
I chuckled slightly trying to calm my nerves. "You really can't."
"That must be what you try to tell yourself doll." He said sounding dangerous, a little too dangerous.
"Chris your drunk, go home." I managed to choke out despite my nerves.
This time he laughed dryly sounding like a sadistic maniac which made him seem even more dangerous, I unconsciously stepped back.
"I am far from drunk hun, real far." He began to move forward, his eyes dilating even more leaving a very thin line as the iris. It scared the heck out of me but I tried to maintain my stance.
"Chris" I tried to sound dreadful but my voice came out as a whisper. He continued moving forward covering any space left between us. His scent of wild roses filled my nostrils blocking out every other thing that was on my mind, I could only think of how good he smelt, he might be drunk but he definitely didn't smell like liquor. He held my chin and tipped my head sideways baring my neck to him. He bent his head touching my neck lightly with the tip of his tongue then kissed the spot, he growled against my neck making me shiver deep inside me down to my stomach.
"Fu*k!" He cursed then jerked away quickly. "I'm so sorry." He said driving his hands through his hair.
