"You wanna go out tonight or something?" Alice asked me while she waited for me to spill details about my 'boyfriend'. I never understood her infatuation with my personal life, or anyone else's for that matter. Alice, my best friend- my crazy and way too hyper, but loving best friend- really didn't care what people thought about her opinions…but I did…
I completely forgot that Alice was sitting on my bed starring at me when I began to become lost in my flashback to earlier today. I was standing near my truck. It was pouring rain and I was getting soaked. I heard the faint sound of water plashing behind me as someone began to approach. I could smell them before I saw. The sweet smell of honey and spice, and something else I cant quit describe hit me. I immediately knew who it was. Edward…
" Why are you standing here?" He questioned.
" I'm just…lost…" I said
" Bella…" He replied. " You're not lost. You know exactly where you are…"
He was extremely puzzled and I could help but chuckle slightly internally.
" Why are you here Edward?"-I blurted out with ought even meaning to, and immediately shut up.
He looked down at me questioningly but still very seriously. Yes, it was the same seriousness that got me into this situation. The same seriousness that made me love him… The intensity of his stare made my knees grown weak and my skin tingle. I didn't know what to do or say.
" What do you mean 'why am I here'?" He almost looked insulted…almost.
I looked him in the eyes and asked again, " Why are you here?"
" I saw your truck and I stopped to see if you were alright." I could tell that he was choosing his words very carefully. Though, I couldn't figure out why.
" Why did you stop just to check on me?" I felt a little bad for grilling him with so many questions that he probably felt awkward answering but I wanted to hear what I needed to hear. And suddenly there it was…that face. The face that made me wonder what he was really feeling behind those eyes- those eyes always made me melt in skin and fall apart right in front of him. And even though I tried my hardest to conceal it, I knew he always saw right through my efforts-
" I came because I was worried about you." He said with a certain tenderness in his voice. It made my heart ache.
" Why?" I pressed.
" Because I Lov…look after you. You're like the biggest hazard in this whole town, no the world."
The way he covered up the word love didn't go unnoticed by me…And at that moment in time I realized something- It was something that I sure as hell was not expecting to hear. Granted he didn't say what he was about to but what he said was enough.- I realized that Edward loved me. He would never tell me to my face but the way he felt about me was now obvious in his. God knows that I love him. I would travel the face of the earth if it meant that he would tell me that. He was hurting. His poor heart has undergone so much that he is scared to love…scared to love me.
At that moment I was pulled out of my reverie by Alice.
"Bella!" she yelled, waving her arms in my face in order to bring me back to the present. When she got my attention I just starred up at her cute pixie face with extremely emotional eyes. Showing the emotion that her brother had caused me.
'I have to speak to him' I thought. And with that I was on the verge of tears…again.
