-1 I could feel the sunlight streaming through the window, trying to burn through my closed lids. Reluctantly, I slowly opened my eyes to try and lessen the burn as my pupils adjusted to the sun. Just when I decided to see what time it is I realized I was trapped where I was, although that's not as bad as it seems, seeing as how I was trapped by two strong toned arms.
I looked up into the face of my capture, not being able to wait and see those beautiful green eyes I loved so much. Much to my dismay, however, two heavy lids entrapped my favourite set of eyes. My smile instantly turned to a frown, but quickly changed back as I figured what I'd do to see them. I leaned forward and gently kissed each eyelid, then let my kisses trail downwards to his perfect nose…perfect cheeks…perfect lips. It was there however that my capture finally reacted, grabbing my lips with his.
"Bella.." he muttered as his eyelids finally fluttered open revealing the stunning green eyes I had been longing to see, "You know exactly how to wake a guy up don't you?" he said as he grinned his perfect grin.
I just signed my response, too content to remember why I had woken him up in the first place. I smiled up at him as I remembered,
"Edward, as much as I am content to stay right where I am, would you please release me so I can shower, seeing as I do have class this morning," I felt his release loosen as he replied, "Sure thing love, I guess I'll go back to my room and get dressed then as well."
I gave him one last peck on the lips as I got up and strolled to the bathroom, glancing over at the empty bed by the bathroom, wondering when my roommate would arrive.
I jumped into the scalding shower, letting this hot water loosen my muscles and relax me while I got lost in my thoughts. Here I am, my second year of college, at Dartmouth no less, with the most perfect boyfriend and girl could ask for.
Edward and I met in my first week here when I found out he was my roommate, Alice's, brother. He was one year older than me but I soon found we had an instant connection. We could talk about music and books endlessly, and it didn't take us much time to get together, and there was no awkwardness that he was my roommates brother at all.
I also have the most amazing friends as well. Alice of course, as I have mentioned, is my very best friend. We met in our senior year of high school and came here together. Alice and Edwards other brother Emmett, was also here, as well as Emmett's girlfriend Rosalie and Rosalie's twin brother Jasper. We were a tight knit group and we all got along well. And I couldn't be happier anywhere else in the world.
I realized I had been in the shower for 20 minutes and remembered that Alice would probably like some hot water as well so I jumped out, throwing a towel around my body as well as one around my hair to prevent from dripping. I opened the door, expecting to see a possibly annoyed Alice waiting to get in, and instead found a very amused Edward perched on my bed.
"Gee Bella, you certainly take your time in there don't you?", "Edward!" I exclaimed as I felt my cheeks flare.
No matter how close (if you know what I mean) Edward and I had gotten in the year we have been together, I will never get over my embarrassment at my less-than-average looks. No matter how Edward endlessly reminded me how beautiful he thinks I am and that he has never met anyone as exquisite as me. I stood there frozen, taking in the sight of my gorgeous boyfriend as he sat watching me with a curious expression. He was dressed casually in a blue button up shirt and dark jeans with black dress shoes. His skin had a hint of permanent tan that matched his tousled bronze hair, which sat in a careful disarray on his head. Last but not least my eyes met his piercing green ones. His eyes had the ability to make me melt at any moment with their intensity, it was one of the things that really made me fall in love with him.
Yes, I said love. It was old news to me that I was in love with Edward, not that I ever cared to admit it out loud. Neither of us has ever said "I love you" to the other, though I could feel it when I looked into his eyes. Alice reminded me almost daily that it was so completely obvious we loved each other, why not let each other know. I knew it was just my insecurities getting the best of me, thinking that if I said it he wouldn't say it back and my heart would be crushed into a million pieces right before my very eyes.
Just as I was about to come out of my little world once again, the door burst open, revealing my roommate/best friend.
"Hey Bell-", her eyes registered the scene before her before she continued, "Bella , do you plan on standing there all day in a towel standing in font of Edward while he gapes at you, or are you going to get dressed and go to class with me?" She asked while cocking up an eyebrow.
My flush gave the answer as I made to wardrobe, "I'll see you at lunch Bella, don't miss me too much" Edward said as he left the room with a smirk, not before quickly giving me a kiss on the cheek. I didn't bother to respond, and stead chuckled at his playful cockiness. Alice, however, just rolled her eyes as per usual, seeing as how she lived with Edward all her life and was used to him. "Actually Bella, why don't you just go fix your hair, I'll pick something for you to wear!" Alice exclaimed before shoving me out of the way to get to my clothes. I knew better than arguing with Alice so I sauntered back to the bathroom, letting my hair out of the towel. "Bella, on second though, why don't you just sit in the chair and let me take care of everything for you" Alice said before I could ever lift a brush to my head. I rolled my eyes at her, used to this same routine by now, and obediently sat in the desk chair waiting for my mini-makeover to begin.
