I woke up being happy about today. I put my hair in my ponytail and put my baseball cap on.
I walked out into the kitchen and for once I was up first so I put on the coffee first.
I grabbed a cup and went and sat at the table. Edward walked out and I noticed he wasn't a morning person until he had his coffee.
I couldn't help but giggled at him. "Did you just laugh at me Swan?" My eyes widened when I realized I was caught.
"No!" I tried to hide my smile behind my cup of coffee. He rolled his eyes. "Don't you believe in sleeping in at all Bella?" He asked me.
I thought about it and shook my head no. All he did was mumbled and I just cracked up laughing.

I just looked at Bella because I never heard her laugh before. It was actually nice to hear laugh.
"I don't think I ever heard you laugh before. In fact I never seen you happy since you been here." I finally sat down.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked me. "Well all I'm saying it's time to change that." I told her.
She leaned on the table. "So what do you have in mind Cullen?" I just smile. "First off is I take you on that helicopter ride then let's say we take out the snowmobiles." I told her.
A smile grows on her face. "Sounds like a plan to me." She told me.

We we're up in the helicopter and for the first time in my life I was having fun. Me, Bella Swan was actually having fun.
After awhile we landed and got ready to go on the snowmobiles. Little did he know, I drove these before.
"You know how to drive a snowmobile Swan?" A smirk goes on my face as I put my helmet on.
I plugged in the mic and turned on the snowmobile. I took off laughing.
"Swan your ass is mine." He told me. "I don't think so Cullen. Just because your a guy does not.." He stopped me before I could finish.
"I didn't mean it that way. Geesh calm down woman. Live a little will you. Have some fun for once in your life." Fun what the hell was that?
I stopped the snowmobile and turned around and went home.
I took off my gear and walked into the house. Who in the hell is he to tell me to have fun? Ugh!
"What the hell is your problem Swan?" I turned around. "I don't know how to have fun for one. All I know is work and why am I telling you this because I hardly know you." I snapped out.
"Because maybe it's so built up for so long and I've been the only that cares enough to be your friend and listen to you Bella." He takes a deep breath.
"Look I know it's not easy being in a new place. Hell your living with me much less. But you already told me so little but so much. Tell you what let me make dinner we can have some beers and you can talk even if it a little at time. But don't let it bottle up." He walked by me

I grabbed two beers and set one down on the counter and I took stuff out for nachos.
"The bullying wasn't so bad when I grew up even though I got beat up alot. Only cause my dad spent more time with me and taught me how to fight back." She explained to me.
"So is that what made you a stronger person?" I asked her not turning away from what I was doing.
"No the kidnapping and the rape was." She told me. "Have you ever talked about it?" I didn't hear nothing and I turned around and she was shaking her head sitting on the Island.
"I never even talked to my dad even about what Riley Briers did. Or what happened afterwards." She looked so sad.
I went back to work on cooking. "I got pregnant but lost the baby." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before I turned back around.
"You never told no one?" I asked her. She just shook her head. "I didn't even know I was pregnant either. I was living in Seattle when it happened." She told me.
I turned back around and finish cooking the hamburger. "What happened the day you got kidnapped?" I asked her.
"The senior class was out on a field trip. A group of us broke off into team's of 4 that day. The next I knew everything went black." She told me.
"When I woke up I was tied to a table. I watched as the three other people died in front of me. Then he started cutting on me and told me I was the one he was after and the others well just got in the way. All he did at first was cut me and touch me. But things got worse and he started rapping me and beating me. One day I just thought I wasn't going to let him beat me down anymore. So I noticed a small knife by my hand and hid it in my hand and waited for him to leave." I finished for her.
"You cut yourself lose and that's when you escaped." I said.
"Yeah! I graduated high School and my dad taught me how to shoot guns. I decided to go to college in Seattle and that's where I been ever since. Until I got this job of course and I moved here." She told me.
I put the nachos in the oven and turned around and leaned against the counter and took a sip of my beer.
"So you closed yourself off?" I asked her. "Yeah pretty much. I never wanted to feel any type of pain again plus all these scars I have who would want me anyways." Is she kidding me right now? I about choked on my beer.
"Your joking right?" She shook her head. "I will not wear dresses. Hell I don't even wear makeup. So don't get it stuck in your head Cullen because I will kick your ass." She told me.
"No worry's here Swan. Besides I like you the way you are thank you very much." I told her.

I sat there with my beer almost to my mouth to let what he said sink in. "You don't even know me well enough to say that Cullen." I told him as I took a drink of my beer.
"Your stubborn and bull headed Swan. I do know that." He takes dinner out of the oven and puts it on plates and then I follow him to the table.
After I eat. "I'm in the mood to go out how about you Cullen?" I asked him. He jumped up and grabbed his jacket. I shake my head and giggled.
"Move your ass Swan. I'm driving." I jumped up and grabbed my jacket and ran out to his truck and jumped in.
We ended up at the local bar. "What you want to drink Swan I'm buying." He told me. "Jack and Coke, please!" I told him.
We go sit down at a booth. "Don't look now but here comes Newton." Edward told me. "So what are you two a thing now?" I about choked on my drink.
"Newton we're friends and she wanted to go out so I took her that's it." Edward told him.
Newton turned and looked at me with a smile on his face. "So what you say come dance with me and maybe have a little fun with me?" I leaned forward next to him and smiled.
"Newton I would not touch you if you we're the last guy on the planet." I heard Edward laugh as I leaned back in my seat and took a drink.
"You got burned good Newton. Now get out of here before I kick your ass." I laughed when Edward said that.
"So tell me about yourself Cullen. Why the two last names?" I asked him.
"When me and my sister was young our parents died and Esme and Carlisle adopted us. Jasper the owner of this bar is married to my sister. Emmett is Esme and Carlisle real son and became our brother he married Rose." He told me.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Now it was his turn to chock on his drink.
"No! I don't have time. Don't get me wrong I had girlfriends in the past but well they cheated on me." He said running his hand through the back of his hair.
"Let me guess. You worked to much and they could not understand that." I told him. "Bingo! Just like you my work was my dream. I worked hard to get to where I am and that's captain." He leaned forward and put his arms on the table.
"You keep working as hard as you do and in no time you'll become a Sargent." I about choked on my drink.
"Are you serious?" I asked him. "Yes I am Bella. You are good at what you do. You don't let your height or weight get in your way or the fact your a female either. I admire that about you." He told me.
"I want you to teach me how to fly." I told him. "Then we start this weekend if that's what you want." He told me.
I smiled at him. "That's what I want." I told him. So that was it. I was going to learn how to fly and I was going to train harder too. I sat back and enjoyed my drink.
