Jasper Hale Love Story

Chapter - 48

Bella POV:

After the incident with Edward Cullen in Biology. I want to confront him and demand to know what his problem was.

He stopped coming to school. Every time I see towards their table. They will stop talking and see towards me with a death glare like I did something wrong.

The school went pretty well except that Edward Cullen didn't come to school for almost six days now things are getting suspicious.

Charlie and I came to a local coffee shop. Charlie ordered a Sirloin steak and I ordered Cod.

Several loggers at the counter offer Bella welcoming smiles. I shrink down in my seat at the attention. Charlie's obvious.

Can't get how grown up you are. And so gorgeous said Cora.

I glance at Charlie, who keeps his eyes on his steak. A bearded, hippy logger, Waylon Forge, 50, appears behind Cora, leaning over her shoulder to see me.

Remember me honey, I was a Santa one year said Waylon.

Waylon, she hasn't had Christmas here since she was four said Charlie.

Bet I made an impression, though said Waylon.

You always do said Charlie.

Let the girl eat her Cod and said to me When you're done, I'll bring your favorite berry cobbler. Remember ? Your dad still has it. Every Thursday.

I seriously doesn't remember at all but played nice and said That'd be great, thank you.

Cora shoos Waylon away. We are alone now, Charlie and I both reach for salt knock hands. But Charlie goes instead to hot sauce. Silence as we ate.

So..... You eat here every night I asked him.

No not every night sometimes I would get food from a friend who would cook food and when ever they have barbecue. It's quite easy than washing dishes said Charlie.

I can cook I said.

He looks up as if confused by the concept.

I do the cooking at home in Phoenix. Mom's not great in the kitchen I told him.

I remember said Charlie.

We both laughed recalling an especially a bad dinner.

How was school ? meet anyone ? You have to meet my friend she goes to your school too said Charlie

I looked at him with interest. Who would it be this friend that he keeps on talking about.

A few people .... Do you know the Cullen family ? I asked.

Are people talking abut then again ? asked Charlie sharply.

No.... well, a little I told him.

Just cause they're new comers. We're lucky to have a surgon like Dr. Cullen and his daughter who helps everyone in the hospital. Lucky his wife wanted to live in a small town. Lucky his kids aren't like a lot of hell raisers around here said Charlie.

So you are friend is a Cullen, which daughter you are talking about ? I asked him.

Oh Adelyn Cullen of course, she wants to be a doctor so she helps out kids and others in the hospital. She is the one cooks for me too said Charlie.

I didn't know she did those I said surprised.

Next morning I was getting ready to school where I head a car coming towards the house and heard a knock in the door. I opened the door to find the Adelyn standing there with a box.

Hai Bella said Adelyn.

Hi, come on in I said to her.

Hey Charlie I brought you turkey sandwich with some homemade pasta for you and Bella. I hope you enjoy them said Adelyn.

Hai Adelyn thanks for the food said Charlie grinning.
