Teaser for Chapter 3

Just as I reached the door, it swung open and Edward ran inside. He ran right into me and I stumbled over our feet, almost tumbling to the ground. I reached out and grabbed hold of his sweatshirt to keep myself from falling and I was surprised when he wrapped his arms around my waist and steadied me.

“Sorry,” I mumbled. I slowly looked up at him and was disappointed to find his face was shadowed by his hood again. I was beginning to think I’d never see his face.

I waited for a few moments expecting him to apologize as well but he never did. I glanced down at his hands still wrapped around my waist. He quickly released me and brushed past.

“Thanks,” I said, glancing after him. I darted back outside and into the house.

Teaser: Edward

“Wake up Sleeping Beauty.” He kicked my chair.

I blinked a few times and slowly readjusted myself to a more comfortable position on the chair.

“Wrong fairytale,’ I mumbled.

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“Well Bella’s all settled. I told her not to come over here since you’re so anal retentive and an all out grump.”

“Bella?”

“That’s her name.”

“Not surprised,” I whispered.

“What was that?” Jasper asked.

“Nothing.”

“Alright well I’m heading to bed.” He turned towards the door. “And Edward.” He turned back. “I know you won’t, but you should really give her a chance. She might be good for you.”

I laughed under my breath and turned my eyes back outside as Jasper walked out.
