Unexpectedly Chapter 9 Teaser

There was an unfamiliar pain in Bella’s chest the following Monday morning. She couldn’t work out what it was exactly, but she hated to admit that she knew why it was happening. It was him.

He hadn’t been to the bakery the next day. It wasn’t as if he promised to, but she expected it as he had been there every other day that she had worked there. Alice had been quite good at distracting Bella from wondering where he was, but it was only momentary. She couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Now, it was Monday and she hadn’t heard from him once since they had shared the painfully intimate moments on that Saturday night. He didn’t even leave an email. She had checked her emails profusely, like clockwork every hour, refreshing the page on her computer to see if there were any new emails – but there weren’t.

Bella had to hold back her tears as she struggled through the school day. It was lucky that no one cared much about her, because she never drew attention to herself.

She had lunch in the toilets by herself that day, just in case anybody noticed her weeping. She wasn’t worried about the students of course, but more about teachers telling her father that she wasn’t happy. She knew how much it made him happy that she was getting out of the house and also that she was making a new life for herself – evidence of that in meeting Edward.

She also didn’t want the chief of police to know that there was a thirty-two year old man who had kissed her wrists and held her tightly as she lay in his bed.

Well, damn. Now I'm sad. There's this vulnerable, tender quality to your writing in this story which I find very touching.

Thanks for the teaser. I look forward to ch 9.

Thanks Mad4Hugh! Don't be sad... it will all be better soon but got to have some angst in there somewhere.

BTW, your review for chapter 8 was awesome. Definitely one I remembered! :)
