Edward’s POV
It was late but I needed to talk to Emmett. I had not spoken to Bella since she left my place and I desperately wanted find a way to contact her… Em was my only shot, he had been avoiding my questions about her and my calls, but that was changing tonight. I hoped that Alice had delivered my message, but I still hadn’t heard from her. One day and I was already inpatient.
Em had booked some small apartment only a mile or so from my place to stay for his unexpected extended visit.
He would be up.
Finding his apartment was easy enough and as the elevator doors opened to his floor all the blood drained from my face.
Standing outside the lift was both Bella and Rose dressed like damn sexy Navy seals. I saw Bella’s hand flinch towards her weapon before she realized it was me. Em’s cursing breath followed behind them, and I looked around the girls to see my brother wearing only a towel.
What. The. Fuck.
“I apologize,” I said stepping back into the lift and fleeing the scene as quickly as possible. The ride down to the first floor seemed to take hours instead of seconds, but as the doors opened again there stood Bella.
“Edward, wait,” she breathed barely winded from the stairs.
“Bella, just don’t. I didn’t mean to intrude,” I said trying to walk out of the elevator, but she stopped my advances pushing me back into the lift and shutting the doors behind her.
“You were not intruding, I was… sorry, but I…” Bella was speechless. There were no words to describe our strange situation.
“You tell when you’re ready…You know where to find me,” was all I said as I pushed the doors open and fled to my car.
