Chapter 1
I woke up early that day to be able to get to the airport two hours before my flight. My flight was at 10:00 in the morning so I arrived at the airport, via taxi, at 8:00am.
I went through the horror show they call security and made my way to the US Airways gate number D6 to catch my flight to London, England.
I sat down near and outlet and plugged in my computer and cell phone so that way I could save the battery for the flight. I flipped open my pink dell laptop and started the song I was listening to in the car, on my iPod, on iTunes.
A man had sat down next to me and I didn't think anything of it. I mean this is an airport. The man tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention, I had my headphones on at the time, I looked at him quickly then took out my headphones when I knew it wasn't a trick a little child had played on me.
"May I ask what you are listening to?" a smooth, husky, voice asked.
I did a double take, Ray Bran sunglasses, knit hat, floppy bronze hair, tall frame, long hands. Are you kidding me?
I decided to tease him a little, "Oh, sure it is this great new artist called Ransom or Spunk depending on the song and style."
"Oh really and is he any good?" He laughed and smiled playing along with my little game.
"I think he is excellent however some people, who think that he is horrible and should stay with acting not music, should listen to his music first instead of referring him to his reputation as a famous actor, and female ring model." I laughed at the last part.
"How did you know that I did that kind of modeling when I was younger?" he asked clearly confused.
"I know a lot about you… like the fact that your first role in acting ever was as the king of hearts in a play that your teacher wrote. And that you won the messiest desk award in primary school. Oh and the fact that you wish people accepted you as an actor and as a musician."
His jaw dropped a little at the last one and then he hugged me and said I can talk to him any time.
We spent some more time talking about both of our lives and then he let me hear new tracks that he had cut himself in the last two weeks. And I thought it was amazing.
Just then the flight attendant came over the loud speaker at the terminal and said the flight was delayed for three hours due to a storm cell over the Atlantic Ocean. Edward and I both looked at one another and rolled our eyes at the same time. We had only known each other for less than an hour and we already knew each other like old friends.
"Do you want to go get something to eat while we wait?" Edward asked in his unbelievably sexy velvet voice.
"Sure, were do you suggest we go?"
"Just follow me I know just the place."
"Ok I trust you."
We walked for what felt like ten minutes until we came upon an unmarked door.
"Where are we?" I asked
"You like my music and you trust me correct?"
"Yes and yes."
"Then what I am about to show you is a surprise and you have to wear this." He handed me a black silk sash. "Do you mind if I tie this around your eyes?" he asked and I nodded as an answer. He tied the smooth black sash around my eyes from behind me. Then he lifted my long brown hair and placed a light loving kiss on the nape of my neck and led me from behind into the unmarked room, his hands resting lightly on my hips.
He whispered in my ear that we were here and helped me sit in a very cozy chair.
"May I take the blindfold off now?" I asked
"Now that depends." He laughed quietly
"And what would that depend on Mr. Cullen?"
"Will you let me do this when I take it off?" He kissed me softly on the forehead.
I nodded my head.
"And, how about this?" He kissed me lightly on the nose.
I nodded again, softer this time.
"Ok" he laughed, God how I loved that sound. "And how about this?" He very lightly touched his lips to mine once. I moaned in response involuntarily. With that low sound from my mouth he gently removed the blindfold and I was met with the sight of his perfect face and emerald green eyes. I automatically laced my fingers through his tussled brown locks and kissed him gently on the lips.
"You look adorable with hat hair." I laughed
He said nothing but snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me up to stand with him. And I finally got a good look at the room.
There was a small stage on the far wall and lining the walls were at least a hundred steal string acoustic guitars.
"Oh. My. God"
"Do you like it?"
Instead of answering him I turned back to him and kissed him full on the mouth, almost knocking him over in the process.
"No I LOVE it! How did you know?"
"You told me you loved my music and that you played guitar and sang, so I brought you here so that we can have our own private concert."
"Well you set this up so you go first"
"Ok, love, I will"
He picked a guitar off the wall and started playing a slower song.
I was tied but now unbound Said I used to think the past was dead and gone I was broken for a long time Yes and you, And I was broken for a long time Said I was broken for a long time
My head is off the ground
For a long time I was so weary
Tired of the sound, I've heard before
The gnawing of the night time at the door
Haunted by the things I've made
Stuck between the burning light and the dusty shade
But I was wrong, so wrong
Whatever makes you blind must make you strong, make you strong
In my time I've melted into many forms
From the day that I was born, I know that there is no place to hide
Stuck between the burning shade and the fading light
But it's over now
Said I was broken for a long time
But it's over now
yeah well you walk these lonely streets that people send, people send
There are some wounds that just can't mend
And I do pretend
Now I'm free from all the things that take my friends
And I will stand here till the end
Now I know I can take the moon
Stuck between the burning shade and the faded light
But it's over now, it's over now
Mm it's over now, now, now
It's over now, it's over now.
It's over now, now
But it's over, but it's over
But it's over, but it's over
But it's over, but it's over
But it's over now, now, now, now
But it's over, love is over
But it's over now
But it's over, love is over
But it's over now, now, now
I was broken for a long time yeah
But it's over, but it's over now yeah
Over now, it's all over, it's over now.
I was completely speechless after he finished. The song he played was the song I was listening to in the taxi and at the airport when we first met.
I must have had tears in my eyes because when he finished he put the guitar back on the wall and came to sit with me on the floor. He scooped me up and cradled me in his strong arms.
"What is the matter love?" he asked truly surprised by my reaction.
"I really don't know I just love that song so much and now it means so much more to me I think I am in love with you and I have only known you for a little over an hour."
He hugged me closer and kissed my head. "I feel the same way, love, I really do. I didn't know if you were going to feel the same way but I have felt this way since the first time you looked at me with your beautiful silver eyes. I love you and I will only love you I can just feel it. I have never met anyone like you, you listened to my entire life story without ever getting bored and you let me take you to my sanctum so to speak and you didn't laugh at it like most people do. I love you with all of my heart and I will never give you up, ever."
When he was done with his loving speech I was sobbing tears of joy and love, he wiped them with his thumbs and then kissed me long on the mouth as if to prove his point that he would never leave me. My tongue ran across his perfect lips begging for entrance he parted his lips and then he groaned at the sensation of our tongues meeting.
"How…long…do…we…have…till…boarding…starts?" I whispered between kisses.
"An hour and a half, by my count. Unless our plane got delayed again."
"I never want this to end."
"Neither do I, love, I want to memorize every corner of your mouth. Every curve of your body and every single thing I can do to pleasure you, my one and only love."
He pulled me into an upright, standing position and walked us over to another door inside the room. He opened the door and held it open for me, always the gentleman, I thought.
I walked into a dark expansive room. "Where are we Edward?"
Reviews are love, tell me what you thought…
