Second Chances

Chapter 7

Now that me and Rose were in good terms I was devising a plan on how to make her and Emmett click.

I already knew that Emmett liked Rose, and I can feel it in my bones that Rose totally reciprocates.

That’s when inspiration struck me. Emmett and Rose have one thing in common. CARS.

Rose love automobiles and Emmett is practically obsessed with any form of car. And the Port Angeles Auto show will be  tomorrow. YES! Perfect.

I told Rosalie about the Auto show and like expected she was all in. Then I dialed Emmett and of course he was going. I asked him if he wanted to meet up and he agreed.

I was making my way out the door when a car horn honked. Rose was here. I got on her car and we were on our way to Port Angeles.

While on our way we got talking, catching up on what’s been happening in our lives- well more like her life. She told me about her new stepdad, her new car and being lonely in school and how annoying Jessica and Lauren are.

We had some laughs and soon we arrived at our destination.

I already texted Emmett and he was waiting for us at the entrance.

I immediately saw him and introduced them to each other.

And like my expectation they did click. Almost immediately I might add.

And soon I was the one feeling like a third-wheeler. Since I got my mission done I didn’t stay to finish the show, I told them that I had something important to do and they insisted on driving me. But I assured them that I could take care of myself and went to the nearest library.

I was buried in books for hours when someone tapped me on the shoulder.

“Hey, I thought that was you” Edward Cullen said with a little chuckle.

“Hi” I said and smiled at him.

“So, what are you doing here?” he asked.

“Reading” I told him.

He smirked at me. “Of course. So Bella, about that tutoring lesson you were asking about. When do you want to do it?” Edward asks.

“Actually if you aren’t doing anything right now, would it be okay?” I said looking directly at him.

“Now?” he said a little surprised.

“Of course” I replied.

“Sure, so here?” He said.

I laughed. “At my house, silly”

“Oh. Right” he says a little embarrassed.

“Can you give me a lift back to Forks?” I asked.

 “Sure” he answers.

We were in Edwards Silver Volvo and were currently making our way back to Forks

“So what were you doing there all alone?” He asked me with a hint of concern in his voice.

“I actually came with Rose and Emmett, but I got bored of the Auto show and went to the library” I replied.

“Oh.” He says.

Then I brought out the topic of Emmett and Rosalie and to my surprise Edward actually liked the idea of them together.

“Really” I said a little enthusiasm in my voice.

“Yeah, they actually seem great. Just because two people are different and people don’t think you can make it doesn’t mean they won’t.”  He says then adds “Plus if you look at it , Emmett is stubborn so Rose can keep him in line.” He says smirking.

I laughed my head off. Oh the headache this two were going to cause me.

We made it to my house and I showed Edward in. Dad was fishing so it was just me, mom and Edward in the house.

“Mom this is Edward, Edward this is my mother Renee Swan.” I said introducing them.

“Nice to meet you Mrs. Swan.” Edward says politely.

“The pleasures mine sweetie, I hope you like butter cookies because I’m making a bunch right now” Mom says.

“Of course Mrs. Swan” Edward replies with a smile.

Afterwards me and Edward started studying.

Our Lesson: Punnett Square

We tried predicting the color of hair our possible offspring would have.

I drew grid lines and started working. When my mind went back to my past life.

Do I want to go back? The fortune teller took me here to have another go of things. My past life was what it was Past. I could change things, make them better. Make the right choices.

“You missed one” Edward says taking me out of my reverie. He reached for the paper and touched my hand. I felt an electricity and I’m sure he felt it too because he quickly pulled his hand away. I stared at him and he reciprocated.

We were face to face and were leaning towards each other when.

“I’m home” the echoing words from my dad reach us and we immediately pull away.

Dad came into the living room and saw us. After the introductions mom came in and told us dinner was ready.

“Oh, I’m sorry I won’t be able to stay. Another time perhaps.” Edward says politely.

Edward bid his good byes and left.

After dinner I went to my room and called Rosalie who informed me of the date she and Emmett have tomorrow.

Things were finally looking up.
