Glycerine Ch 9 Teaser

THIS IS NOT BETA'D AND SUBJECT TO ALL THE EDITS!! ALL OF THEM!

Edward glared at his hand wrapped around the knob of his dressing room door. His late night activities and hellish day on set had his temper balancing on a knife’s edge. Not to mention the fact he never heard from Bella. Maybe he was being presumptuous thinking she’d text him back. But why didn’t she? Was she asleep? Was she out? Or was she just flat out ignoring him?

His jaw clenched, both in aggravation at himself and at her. But mainly at her. He didn’t understand what she’d done to him, but trying to stay away from her over the past week had taken more energy than chasing her. So what choice did he have? She was forcing his hand without saying or doing anything. The level of annoyance this revelation caused was astronomical.

“Fuck it.” He pulled open his door and moved down the hall to Bella’s office. If she was there he’d talk to her, if not then he’d just go home. He shoved his hands into his pockets and sauntered down the hall. His face showed nothing but a familiar look of cocky confidence. He didn’t spare a second glance at the other people in the hall, they weren’t important, nothing mattered other than his destination.

He turned the corner of the hall and slowed his steps. He could see part of her behind her desk, she had her hair twisted up on top of her head and a pencil trapped between her teeth. Sucking in a deep breath he moved to the door, pulling his hand from his pocket he knocked on the frame twice.

Bella lifted her head, her eyes widening at she stared at Edward. He pushed his hand back into his pocket and crossed one leg in front of the other. “Hey.”
