Lovers
Bella's POV
You know those fairytale stories when Cinderella meets her Prince Charming or Juliet meeting her Romeo? Those are just make believe stories written by the imaginative fantasy of others right? Wrong, it has been wrong ever since I have found Edward Anthony Masen. My everything.
He is my Romeo, my Prince Charming, and my knight in shining armor. He is everything you can want in a man; muscular, loving, caring, devoted, polite, has the most amazing sparkling emerald green eyes, and the list keeps going and going.
It's crazy to be in love at 17 years old. Right? Wrong again. Well according to my father and every other adult I know. It's ridiculous really. They either say "Young love, it never lasts." Or "Oh! Look its Edward Masen! He hasn't dumped that Swan girl yet?" I scoffed at them. We were more in love then most people I know. Edward Masen. The man I have given my heart and soul to. I couldn't wait to discover what the future held for us. He is an ambitious doctor; following the steps of his father, Edward Masen Sr. and I was an aspiring author.
Although we are still in High School, I can't ever imagine my life without him. He is the very reason I am living and breathing. He is my other half and I couldn't survive without him and this is no exaggeration. It all happened that day in Port Angeles. That day that changed my life forever.
**FLASHBACK**
I was walking home from the bookstore in Port Angeles when I went shopping with Jessica and Angela to get their prom dresses. Of course I didn't get a dress. I mean what's the point? I don't have a date, although most guys at my school have already asked me like Mike Newton and Tyler Crowley.
The thought of the two of them made me shiver. Do they not know when someone says no that means no? Seriously, they follow me around like some lost lovesick puppy. I didn't have a lot of friends considering I started in the middle of the semester and moved to Forks to live with my father, Charlie. I lived in Phoenix with my mother, Renee before then.
There weren't any boys at Forks High School I would even consider going out with. They are all immature boys who don't know how to treat a girl.
I was walking to the restaurant "La Bella Italia" which was about four blocks away from the bookstore. I was walking down the path when I saw them. By the looks of it, it seems like it was two drunken guys down the alleyway where I was suppose to cut through.
I sighed. They were going to do something stupid in their state of mind. I reluctantly looked behind me to see if there was another way to the restaurant. I could go back to the store and ask for directions; I thought to myself.
I turned around and started walking and that was when I noticed that those men had friends. There were about seven of them; in all of the directions. This was not going to end well.
I started hyperventilating. This is not how I thought I would die. By the looks of it, I was either going to get raped or killed. I shuddered at the thought. I had to think of something fast, maybe the self- defense classes Renee had me sign up for in Phoenix were a good thing even though I completely stink at it.
They were coming closer. "Hey baby. Where do you think you're going?" asked the hideous smelling guy behind me. I didn't answer. Then some of them tried to touch me. "Don't touch me!" I shrieked at them. "Feisty. Just they way I like them." I almost threw up right there. I tried to shake them off and then I saw it.
A shiny silver Volvo stop literally an inch in front of me. An angel came out. He was gorgeous. He had tousled bronze hair and flawless skin. He looked like a supermodel.
"Get in the car." He told me in his fierce, velvety voice. Even though I just met him, I have never been so protected and trusted in my life. I immediately got in the seat and he got in with me and we drove along.
He told me he heard yelling and he wanted to help. He was truly an angel. As it turns out, he just moved from Denali, Alaska and is moving to Forks with his father and mother. I was extremely happy and from that day forward, we got closer and closer and eventually we couldn't hide our feelings any longer and became boyfriend and girlfriend.
**END OF FLASHBACK***
I smiled at the memory. Edward and I have become inseparable since.
"What are you smiling at, love?" I heard a beautiful, velvety voice asking me. We were currently at lunch sitting with Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet. Alice and Emmet McCarty moved from Tennessee about five months ago as well as Rosalie and Jasper Hale, but they moved from New York.
I grinned. "Nothing, just remembering the day we first saw each other that's all."
He gave me one of his famous crooked smiles. "Well that was a very interesting day." I giggled and he chuckled along with me and he put his arm around my shoulder.
"So Bella, what do you think?" asked Alice excitedly.
"Um… I uh…" I stuttered.
"You didn't hear a word I said did you?" I smiled sheepishly.
She giggled. "Well I was wondering if you wanted to go to New York with us on the weekend until the weekend after. There won't be school because it's teacher evaluation week. We'll be going to Los Angeles on September 7 and then on September 11 we'll take a flight form Los Angeles to New York. "
I really wanted to go. A whole week with my friends and Edward in California and New York that should be really fun. I just remembered I couldn't "I'm sorry Alice I can't. It's Jake's birthday party down at La Push and I promised him I would be there and also Charlie wanted me to spend time with his new girlfriend Sue next week." I said sadly.
"Awww…. Come on Bells! I won't be fun with out my favorite klutz!" Emmet said with a pout.
"Very funny Emmet." I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes.
"Seriously Bella. You really should go." Said Rose with a pout.
"I really want to guys, but I can't" I sighed sadly.
"Bella I'll stay here with you." Said Edward while kissing my cheek.
"No!" I protested. "Please go. I don't want you to stay here because of me. I know you love me and won't leave me, but go have fun! Please?" I said in my begging voice.
I saw his face in decision. "Please. Go. Have fun with them. I'll miss you, but go." I said again.
He sighed. "Are you trying to get rid of me?" he asked jokingly. I laughed.
"Of course not!" I said.
He sighed in defeat. "Okay I'll go, but promise me when I come back I won't find you in a hospital." He said teasingly.
I scowled. "Of course not. Maybe a bruise here or there, but not a hospital." I said with a laugh. He laughed as well.
"Okay it's settled then. Edward, me, Jazzy, Rose, and Emmet will be going. Are you sure you can't go Bella?" She asked with a pout.
"Yes Alice. I really can't go." She sighed and nodded. She looked so sad.
"Hey Alice. Do you want to go shopping after school?" I asked trying to get her in her hyper self again.
"Oh!! Yeah! Me, you and Rose should go! There is a HUGE shoe sale at the Nordstrom and I need new clothes for our trip!" she replied excitingly.
"Alice, don't you think you have enough shoes?" asked Jasper. Uh-oh. Wrong move Jasper.
"Have enough shoes?! Jazzy! No one in there right mind can "HAVE" enough shoes!" shrieked Alice.
We all laughed at them.
"Ohhh! Looks like Jazzy doesn't know how to treat a woman!" boomed Emmet.
"Like you do!" spat Rosalie. Emmet hung his head in shame.
We were all laughing like crazy at Emmet until he gave us one of those signature scary stares and we quieted down.
Just as Emmet was about to reply, the bell rang.
"Come on, love. It's time for Biology!" Edward said with fake enthusiasm.
"Great. Biology with Mr. Maloney! How exciting!" I said copying his tone. He chuckled and held out his arm for me. I took it and we began walking down toward Biology.
It was nothing new today. We were looking at the phases of mitosis underneath a microscope and I had Edward as a partner, so biology wasn't that bad.
School was over after Biology and we got our things and met the rest of the "gang" as Emmet will call it in the parking lot.
"Hey. We should head up to La Push beach today." Said Alice casually.
Everyone agreed, but first we all had to go home and grab our swimming clothes and necessities.
Edward led me to his shiny, silver Volvo and drove me home. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and he said he'll come back in 30 minutes to pick me up. I agreed and got my things out of his car. He drove away and I unlocked the door to my house.
Charlie's police cruiser wasn't in the driveway, so I guess that meant he wasn't home. I ran up to my room and put all of my school stuff onto my bed. I grabbed my Lacoste beach bag and got my towel, extra clothes, sunscreen, and money. I put on my yellow and white striped bikini and a pair of fleece short shorts from Abercrombie kids. I'm surprised I still fit in it. I also put on a midnight blue floral print halter top.
I hurriedly put my hair on a ponytail and grabbed my cell phone off of the table. I got my bag and went downstairs to the kitchen. I got an apple and chewed on it hungrily. I didn't eat lunch because I was so zoned out. I threw my apple away after finishing it and decided to write a note to Charlie so he wouldn't freak out that I was gone.
Dear Dad,
Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmet, and I are going to the beach at La Push. I won't be home 'til around 8 or 9 at night. If you need me call my cell phone or anyone else that's going with me. I love you Dad.
Love,
I left the note on the dining room table. I was putting my flip flops on when I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist. I screamed and kicked the person from behind me. I turned around and I gasped.
It was Edward and he was lying on the floor in pain.
"Oh my god! Are you okay Edward?" I asked hugging him.
He weakly hugged me back.
"Now I don't have to worry about you when I leave with them." He said jokingly.
I laughed. Only Edward would make a joke out of a near- death experience.
"Are you sure you are okay?" I asked worryingly.
"I'm fine, love. We should probably get going. We are all meeting each other at Emmet's and Alice's house."
I nodded and helped him up. I kissed his lips and got my bag and grabbed the camera that was on the table.
He opened the door for me and I thanked him. He started the car and we began driving to their house.
"Edward?" I asked.
"Yes, love?" he replied looking at he road.
"Where do you plan on going for college?"
He was silent for a moment. "I honestly don't know. Anywhere with you then I'll go." He said with a smile.
"Well I was thinking Dartmouth." I said to him.
"Really? I was thinking the exact same thing. It would be perfect for us with the wide variety of courses and the beautiful nature surrounding it."
I smiled and kissed his cheek.
We made it to Alice's house and got out along with our beach bags.
"What took you guys so long?" said Emmet whiningly. He stopped and thought for a moment then a sly grin spread across his face. "Did you guys make a 'pit-stop' "he asked wiggling his eyebrows.
I blushed four shades of red and Emmet laughed.
"Ignore him." Said Edward pulling me into his chest. I sighed and nodded.
"Hey Bella!" waved Rosalie and Alice.
"Hey Rose! Hey Alice!" I said while giving them a hug.
"We should probably get going if we want to get home before 9." Said Jasper.
We nodded.
"Okay we're going to take Emmet's Jeep to the beach." Said Alice.
We all put our bags in the back of the Emmet's monster Jeep and Emmet sat in the drivers seat while Rosalie sat in the passenger seat.
Alice sat on Jasper's lap while I sat on Edward's. We began driving and Rosalie turned up the radio.
It was "Don't Trust Me" by 3oh!3
Alice, Rose, and I started singly loudly along.
Black dress, with the tights underneath
I got the breath of the last cigarette on my teeth
And she's an actress [actress] But she ain't got no need
She's got money form her parents in a trust fund back east
t-t-t-tongues always pressed to your cheeks
While my tongue is pressed inside some other girl's teeth
You tell your boyfriend, that he's got no beef
That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him
We kept singing along and loudly and the guys just stared at us and laughed along.
The song changed into "Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton and to our surprise, Emmet started signing.
We all looked at him with our jaws opened and we where speechless.
"What?" he asked us confused.
"Who knew Emmet sang girl songs." Replied Alice smirking.
We all chuckled and Emmet gave Alice a glare. She just smiled innocently which made us laugh even harder.
We arrived at La Push at 3 and got our things out of the back of the Jeep. We got a really good spot and us girls laid out our towels.
I got my sunscreen out and Edward was sitting down next to me.
I kissed him passionately and he kissed me back. I smiled and looked at him innocently.
"Can you put sunscreen on my back?" I asked him slyly.
He smirked. "Anything for you love."
I stood up and took off my tank top and shorts extremely slowly to tease Edward and heard him groaning. I chuckled and threw a wink at him. I sat down in between his legs and he started rubbing the sunscreen over my back. The way he was touching me made me moan. He chuckled lightly and continued. Once he finished I decided to do his back.
I rubbed his back soothingly and slowly. He let out a moan and I grinned. Once I was done he picked me up over his shoulders and had a sly smirk looking between me and the water.
"Don't you dare Edward Anthony Masen!" I shrieked and he chuckled and ran toward the water and threw us in.
I reached the surface and we both laughed at each other. He pulled me into his arms and we kissed. It felt like one of those romantic movies kissing in the ocean.
"Are you still mad at me?" He said with a pout.
I laughed. "How could I be with that pout?"
He grinned and stood up and carried me bridal style to the sand and spun me around and around. Life is perfect. I kissed his cheek and stood up.
"Hey Bella Wella and Eddie-boy! Let's play some volleyball!" yelled Emmet from the other side of the beach.
I grabbed Edward's hand and we started running over there.
"It's Edward, not Eddie." Said Edward annoyingly when we got there.
"Sure whatever Eddie. Let's play some v-ball!" shouted Emmet.
"Eww Emmet! If you want to play v-ball go ask Rose!" said Alice jokingly.
Emmet glared at her and we all burst out laughing.
"Let me rephrase that then." He said through his clenched teeth glaring at Alice. "Let's play v-o-l-l-e-yball." She chuckled.
"Boys against girls!" yelled Rose. Rose had the first serve and threw straight over the net and we got one point. I served and surprisingly got it over the net and then Jasper hit it right back over. Alice hit the ball hard and right on Emmet's crotch. He fell on the ground groaning in pain.
"I'm going to get you, you EVIL PIXIE!" screamed Emmet. We all laughed and Rose helped him up and kissed him on his neck.
"Better?" she asked in her low seductive voice.
"Much." Emmet grandly replied. I laughed at the both of them.
The sun was starting to set. It looked beautiful. It was a mixture of pink and orange with few hazy clouds in the back. The sun was an orangey, yellow color. It looked amazing like one of those paintings with the beautiful scenery.
I faced Edward and he looked at me. His eyes were burning into mine. I could see the amount of love and devotion he had for me. He inched closer and closer and then finally, his lips touched mine. It was very romantic. Kissing under the sunset. It felt like a fairytale; so unreal. This kiss was filled with so much passion and it turned out to be a full blown make-out session.
"Whoa! Eddie-boy! Save it for the bedroom!" hollered Emmet from the other side of the beach.
I blushed and buried my face into Edward's chest.
"We have to go." Said Alice while she was packing our things on the sand.
I nodded and Edward laced our fingers together and we left; having this memory to hold onto. Forever.
