Chapter One
I shut the door silently as Edward slipped in the front of me and took my hand.
"You'll be fine. I'm sure of it." He whispered into my neck as we stood at the entrance of the one place I didn't want to be, the bowling alley.
I looked up at his beautiful mesmerizing topaz eyes. I nearly melted where we stood.
"I hope you're right." I finally managed to say.
He softly laughed to himself and smiled the crooked smile that still put my heart a blaze.
He bought our tickets and we headed towards the counter that looked to be the place they handed out the shoes. He seemed to tense up and I noticed a slight bit of anger in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" I said putting my hand on his cheek.
He looked down at me and grabbed my waist.
"It seems the guy at the shoe counter thinks you're the hottest girl he's ever seen."
My face flushed the brightest pink and I looked down.
"It's too bad I'm taken." I said kissing his hand.
He smiled and we continued to walk towards the counter. Edward handed him the tickets and I couldn't help but notice he was staring at me. I smiled at him and turned around.
Edward got our shoes and put his arm protectively around my waist. He led me to a long hallway, surprisingly, away from the bowling area.
"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.
"I'm taking you bowling." He said a slight smirk on his god-like face.
"But the bowling area is that wa—" I stopped and looked into the room he had led me to. I didn't know what to think. The room was private, and it looked almost brand new. The walls were a soft mahogany color and the floor was lined with the same slippery floor you found in a bowling alley.
I was speechless. "It's very," I didn't know what to say. Nice? Comfy? Nothing seemed to fit.
"Carlisle owns it." He said walking over to the back, where I noticed had a bar and a big screen television.
"It looks very… lucrative." I finally said, taking a seat on the couch near the door. He laughed and handed me a bottle of Evian.
"It's not that expensive. Nothing we couldn't afford." He sat beside me and I leaned my head on his shoulder. Inhaling his scent was nothing compared to the electricity that I was used to feeling when he's near me.
Bowling turned out to be a very fun game. I slipped half the time, but Edward didn't seem to mind. He caught me and we both laughed it off in the end. He won of course, but we had fun and left after an hour.
"So, what would you like to do now, Ms. Swan?" He said as we walked to his Volvo.
I looked at the ground and thought. "Hmm, I don't know. What would you like to do?"
He smiled and got the keys out of his pocket as we walked near his car. I fumbled into the passengers' seat and wrapped my arms around myself. It was getting cold in Forks, which wasn't very odd because the cold weather was always perennial.
As Edward started the car, I couldn't help but notice the crooked smile I loved planted on his face.
"What is it?" I asked.
He looked at me and drove off. After a few seconds he spoke, "You're beautiful."
I blushed and looked out the window.
He pulled into his normal parking spot in the huge meadow in front of his house and turned the car off, as I was about to open my door I felt his cold fingers on my arm. It made me jump and he immediately removed them from my arm.
"Oh, I'm sorry Bella." He said looking deeply into my eyes.
"It's alright. It's just that I wasn't ready for you that time." I said, wondering if what I said made any sense at all. I shook my head in embarrassment and sat back into the seat.
"What are you thinking?" He finally asked me after a long silence.
"Nothing." I whispered.
That seemed to please him. He got out of the car and before I could blink he was opening my door and lending a hand as I stepped out.
"Thank you." I smiled sheepishly.
We walked to his house quietly. It's been almost five months since the incident with James and Edward never really liked to talk about it. Neither did I for that matter. But at times I had questions that I knew Edward wasn't willing to answer. So I let them fall behind me.
We reached his door and he held it open for me.
His house continued to send shivers down my spine. Its beauty always overcame me. I never knew what to do with myself while I was there, waiting for Edward to come home from his hunting trips with one of his family members. I would always be too dazed at the magnificent structure of the house to even know what to really do with myself while I waited. To this day, I have no clue what they keep in the room opposite the room with Edwards' piano.
"Hello Bella." I heard Esme say as we walked in.
"Hello." I said as we walked up the stairs to Edwards' room.
Just then Alice came running up to Edward, her eyes filled with fear, worry, confusion.
"What is it Alice?" He asked, concerned.
Alice spilled her thoughts to Edward while I waited on the side of him, mad at the fact that I couldn't hear one word she was saying.
"When?" He finally asked after a few seconds.
"When what?" I asked. I could feel a little worry in my voice as I said it and Edward immediately put his hand on the small of my back.
She shared her thoughts again and I saw Edwards' face turn from concern to pure anger.
"What is it?" I asked again, more sternly.
He grabbed my hand and ran me up the rest of the stairs to his room. As we reached his door I stopped him and grabbed his shoulders.
"Are you going to tell me what's going on? Or are you going to leave me hanging like this forever?" I asked loudly.
He sighed and brushed his thumb along my jaw. I could feel my knees buckle, but knew this wasn't the time to faint on him.
"Just stay in here until I come up to get you. Whatever you do, don't open this door." He said deeply into my eyes. He knew I was worried, but I knew he wasn't going to spill anything.
"Fine." I said turning around and stomping into his room. As I was about to plop myself onto his leather couch I felt his arm around my waist and I turned. He gracefully took my lips into his.
"I love you Bella." He said after we parted.
"I know." I said, shakily.
He left and I took a seat on his leather couch.
I fell asleep after a while, growing tired of waiting for him to come back. But I knew if he was some where close I could sleep easily. What seemed like a short while later, I woke to small bumps and thuds coming from downstairs. I so desperately wanted to look to see who it was but knew that Edward would be mad that I had disobeyed him, so I stayed put on the couch. After a few more bumps and thuds I heard something crash. Then I heard Rosalie screaming something and then Emmett yelling something back. At first I thought they were having an argument, it all changed when I heard more screaming, but this time coming from Alice too. It was getting louder and closer to Edwards' room. All too soon I heard a crash and the door came flying off the hinges, landing right at my feet.
So what do you all think? I know it's written very amateur-ish, and i'm apologizing in advice right now. Please review for me. Tell me what you thought, i'm anxious to see what people think of this story. I'm still unsure if I should put the second chapter up because i'm very selfconsciousabout my writing. Maybe if I get enough reviews i'll put it up ; )
