Alice was screaming next to me - but I'd tuned out. My heart was thumping so hard it seemed as if it would jump out of my all-too-tight chest at any moment. I double-checked the piece of paper in my hand. There could be no mistaking it. I forced myself to carry on walking to a nearby seat, and sat down, trembling. How could this be real?
*twenty minutes earlier*
Okay, so I realise getting up at three a.m. for a dvd signing is a little geeky - but there was no way I missing the opportunity to meet and greet Edward Cullen. That boy was seven different types of gorgeous, and I'd do way more than travel 150 miles in air-conditioned comfort with my two best friends to tell him so.
Also, I loved the rest of the cast in 'Remember Me'. Alyssa Craig is brilliant beyond her years, and Emilie de Ravin is fantastic too.
We'd been in the queue for about an hour (if you discount queuing for three hours to get a wristband saying we could queue!) when they bounded up on the makeshift stage HMV put up. Suddenly, the dormant crowd sprung to life. Alice and Angela were screaming their hearts out, and I actually heard myself whooping with delight. This was really happening! I got my Kodak from my bag and tried to snap some pictures, but I was too short to get above the arms of the exuberant crowd.
Slowly, slowly, we edged up the aisle, passing the Beatles, Beach Boys, and eventually entire 'B' and 'C' section of the vast music store. Alice turned to me, beaming, as Angela nudged me and whispered three words.. "We're up next."
The celebrities were on a long table, and as you walked past each one you got your dvd case signed, and a photo if you asked for one. Edward was last on the table.
Although we'd stopped and talked to each star for a few minutes, a mini-queue had formed before Edward, as each person tried to elongate their time with him.
But really, who could blame them? He was smiling beatifically up at everyone, warmly talking to them as he signed his name. Alice was tapping her feet impatiently but Angela's face mirrored mine - a dreamy expression sat there as she stared at Mr. Cullen.
After a few minutes, he greeted us with a smile, his emerald green eyes widening as they took the three of us in. I couldn't blame him - Alice was unfairly, gorgeously graceful and pixie like, dark spikes jutting from her angelic face, making her big eyes stand out. What boy could resist?
Angela was equally stunning, her tall, lithe figure clad in a cream bandeau dress and knee high brown boots - showing off her gorgeous physique and making her look annoyingly model like.
These thoughts ran through my head as Alice and Angela got there dvd's signed and hearts broken as they made small talk with the outrageously beautiful man who would never be theirs.
I hurriedly walked forward as Edward smiled up at me, and pushed my dvd case forward as I tried to quell the incessant babble in my head. 'Say something, idiot,' I thought, just as Edward pushed back my dvd and winked at me, before turning to the next person.
My audience with the heartthrob Mr. Cullen had lasted less than a minute, and I hadn't even said anything. I sighed, then did a double-take as I looked down at his signature. Edward had signed his name... and then eleven digits. I froze.
Alice turned back impatiently, wanting to include me in her and Angela's excitement about Edward's brilliant face, then screamed as she saw my dvd case. How could this be real? The world began to sway, and I sat down heavily.
I had what millions of girls wanted ... Edward Cullens phone number. The question was - what do I do now?
A/N this is my first FF - BE NICE. And leave loads of reviews.. I should have an update this weekend if I get at least 1 ! Thanks,
