I Love You
Bella`s point of view. This is my version of when Edward tells Bella "I Love You" for the first time.
I awoke to the sun shining through my window. The first thought that came to my mind was Edward. Where was he this morning? Was he thinking about me? Would he pick me up for school again?
I sighed, wishing I knew the answers to my questions. The clock said it was time to get ready for school.
After I got dressed the panic started to kick in. Would he pick me up again? I became absorbed in my thoughts.
Breaking my trance was the sound of a horn honking in the driveway. I got up from the table, leaving my unfinished breakfast behind, to look out the window.
And there it was. His stupid, shiny, silver volvo sitting in charley`s spot in the driveway. And there he was. Leaning on the passenger door looking like an angel.
My heart started to race and I darted back into the kitchen to get my bag and put my cereal bowl in the sink.
Not a moment too soon I was out the door and by his side.
Just like always, I was stunned speechless by his beauty. He didn't say anything either. We just stood there, staring into each others eyes.
After an unmeasureable moment, he lifted his hand and tucked a stray lock of hair behind my ear. As always my heart accelerated and my faveorite crooked smile spread across his face.
I still couldn't believe how beautiful he was. It took my breath away.
His eyes are light today, I realized as we drove down the wet roads towards Forks High School.
Why the silence today? I wondered. I wasn't the one to break it. When we reached the school he finally spoke.
"Bella." Was all he said.
The expression on his face was confused, but there was simle in his tone when he said my name. He smiled at me and seemed confidant so I nodded and waited.
"I love you."
