Meet the new characters of SIB chapter two.

Carlisle and Esme Cullen

Peter Wilson

Here is a map of the Dominican Republic to show you their trip north across the island and the alternate route they had to go back and take when they came upon the tree blocking the road. In total it's about a three hour drive across the island.

Looking back at Edward I asked, “You’re not going to let this go are you?” 

“No.”

“Fine,” I huffed. 

Mr. Cullen moved across the aisle and sat down next to me. I couldn’t resist asking him, “Has your son ever been arrested for stalking?” It caused him to burst out laughing. 

“Well, Miss Hale,” Mr. Cullen said a few minutes later after having me move my jaw in every imaginable direction it could. ”It seems you simply have a nasty bruise.”

“I tried to tell him that,” I said while pointing at Edward. 

“Well he can be a bit hardheaded at times,” he replied with a chuckle. 

“Yeah, tell me about it,” I said rubbing my chin for added affect. “Thank you, Mr. Cullen…Or should I call you Dr. Cullen?” 

“How about Carlisle? We all tend to go on a first name basis pretty much.”

“Only if you call me Bella.”

“It’s a deal,” he said, getting up and returning to his seat. 

The seat next to me didn’t remain empty for long though as Edward was soon occupying the space.

“Stalker,” I mumbled before turning my face towards the window, hiding my smile. I may not have understood his need to shower me with all the attention he was, but I also couldn’t deny I was enjoying it. 

“I’m not a stalker,” he whisper-yelled.

I snorted. “Sure could have fooled me.”

“I was simply trying to be the gentleman I was raised to be.”

“Your father really doesn’t look like the type to go around teaching his son to stalk an unsuspecting young woman he just met on an airplane.”

“How was I to know that we were both coming here for the same reason? I was just as surprised to see you as you were me.”

“You could have asked,” I told him.

“I did,” he declared.

“When?”

“On the plane.”

“Did not.”

“I most certainly did. You refused to tell me.”

“You must be imagining things now.”

“Then maybe I also imagined you telling me something along the lines of how you weren’t trying to be rude, but you weren’t comfortable telling me where you were going.” 

He had that smile of his turned up all the way again, shining as bright as the sun in the sky. How the hell was I supposed to resist that?

See you Friday with the whole chapter!!

Hi everyone, I know it's been a while, but my new story is finally going to begin posting. The first chapter will go up on Friday, April 13.  After that I will be updating every other week. Below you will find the summary as well as a teaser for the first chapter. I am so excited to see what you all think of it.

Summary: Born to parents living a rich and glamorous lifestyle, Bella had never felt as if she belonged in their world where life often felt fake and pretentious. Wanting more out of life and wanting to make a worthwhile difference, Bella assumes a fake identity and heads off to spend her last summer before college doing something real and meaningful. Her journey starts with meeting a handsome stranger, raised to help those in need—and to detest the rich. What happens when he finds out her secret?

Teaser:

Large hands with long slender fingers reached up to grab my bag. When his hand touched mine a jolt of energy shot through me, causing me to jump and the sudden movement sent my sunglasses tumbling from the top of my head to the floor.

"Shit. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you," he apologized.

"It's…um…okay," I replied. I stood there staring at him somewhat dazed and slightly stunned by my reaction to his touch.

I shook my head briefly to clear it from the fog I felt like I was in and bent to pick up my glasses, not realizing he was already in the process of doing the same thing. Before either of us had time to react, the back of his head was colliding with my chin and I found myself falling backwards and landing on the floor of the plane. My hand immediately went to the spot where the two had connected and I rubbed it, trying to ease the dull throbbing sensation that was occurring.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" the stranger asked.

I looked up at him and saw him rubbing the back of his head and staring down at me. I couldn't help but notice he was probably the most handsome man I had ever seen. Judging by the look of sincere remorse on his face he knew how to behave like a man too. If this had happened with one of the pimple faced, squirrely, immature high school boys I constantly refused to date back home, they'd be instantly spewing some lame line about how I needed to watch what I was doing. Instead he was concerned about whether or not I was okay.

See you on Friday!!
