VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!--The tittle of this story will change soon, it will be called-- Hi, I'm Mr Right, I Heard You Were Looking For Me
Moving day, the day I've been excited about, and dreading for about 3 weeks now. I'd already met my new roommate, Alice Brandon, when we went to tour the campus of the beautiful University of Chicago, where I am majoring in sociology. I'd promised her I would go shopping with her when we got moved into the dorm room, in which I'm not too big a fan of. The shopping part that is. Other than the fact that Alice could literally 'shop till she drops', which is an understatement for her since I've already been on one shopping trip with her- apparently her adoptive parents, in which I met, Dr. Carlisle, and Esme Cullen had made her get therapy treatments for it- she's great!
"Bella!" yelled my now exhausted and impatient father, Charlie. "Do you have any more boxes? we need to get going!"
"Just one more dad, I'll get it don't worry, be down in a minute."
We had woken up at 8 this morning - and I am definitely not a morning person - to start packing up my things. I looked down at my watch to see what time it was… "One o'clock!" I yelled to myself surprised. I had been so caught up in thinking about packing, and my upcoming shopping trip with Alice, and my new college life, that I haven't looked at the clock in hours, Charlie's right, we definitely need to get going.
I grabbed my last box and dashed for the stairs...
OK, running was not the best idea.
Of course I tripped right in front of the stairs, dropping the box, and watching it tumble all the way to the bottom of the steps, before catching myself on the bathroom door frame before I was next to be rolling down the steps.
Lucky for me, all that was in that box were some of my clothes, otherwise it would have most likely been broken. Although I probably wouldn't have been carrying any breakables anyways, knowing my own clumsiness.
Charlie, having seen the box take its fall, was concerned for my well-being, but of course he would be, he is my father. Even though this was a normal pattern for me, falling, tripping, and dropping things that is.
"Bella…i-is e-everything o-okay?" Charlie asked, concern filling his tone.
"Yeah dad, just a little trip to the floor, that's all, I'm fine, I'll be down in a second."
I had attempted to look somewhat nice today, wearing a plain, fitting, powder blue t-shirt, with a dark blue, also fitting, zip-up jacket over top, zipped up to the middle of my torso. I had on light jeans, with a pair of black converses. Just my bangs were pulled back out of my face and clipped on the top of my head. Although I didn't really attempt to put much make-up on. I've been in a hurry, but I did put a little eye shadow, and liner on... or at least I attempted to - I'm not so sure I did a great job - but that's it.
I carefully, but quickly made my way down the stairs, grabbed my coat, and turned to Charlie.
"Ready" I said while letting out a breath.
"Okay, we need to get a move on." Charlie said, while walking towards the door, me following, fiddling with my coat, trying to get it on. Charlie, of course, not wanting me to fall again picked up the box, which was still lying at the bottom of the steps where it had fallen, and carried it out of the open door, with me following behind him.
--
When I got to the air-port in Port Angeles, Charlie had insisted on coming in with me, saying something along the lines of 'You could be kidnapped' but I knew that he really just wanted to have his last goodbyes, since nothing much was said on the car trip here.
We had been sitting for about ten minutes, listening to the hustle and bustle of the crowd around us, when a lady came onto the intercom. "Flight 107 to Chicago, now boarding"
I jumped up, followed by Charlie "Well, this is me." I said a little tired, while stretching my arms.
"So, this is where I tell you goodbye, and I love you, and will miss having you around, especially for breakfast and dinner." Charlie said lightly laughing.
I let out a small giggle "Yeah, I guess it is." I said while hugging my father, and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Love you, I'll call when I land, and if it's too late, I'll wait until morning, and call you when I first wake up, promise."
"You'd better, and I love you too. See 'ya on Thanksgiving." He said laughing once again, and waving goodbye. I gave a small wave, and started towards my flight.
Once I boarded the plane, I started walking directly to my seat, I was putting my carry on bag up in the loft above my seat, when I heard a familiar voice from a few feet behind me.
"BELLA…Is that you? Oh my gosh!!"
I instinctively turned, a little too quickly, to beam at the familiar person calling my name, and fell backwards onto someone's lap, of a complete stranger, whose arms instinctively wrapped around me, and all of the items in their hands, including a drink fell to the ground.
I looked up to see who's lap I had fallen into, and immediately blushed, seeing an amazingly attractive man with beautiful bronze hair, amazing, and oh so beautiful green eyes like I had never seen before.
I saw a small smile play around the corners of his mouth, and grow larger by the second, and he soon had this gorgeous crooked grin on his face, and his eyes filled with amusement.
It was then that I realized I was staring open mouthed at this man I had never even met before, and in his lap. I blushed again, even more than before.
I jumped up quickly, and straightened out my shirt.
"Um… so sorry, very sorry!" I knew for a fact that my blush was redder than it had ever been before. I have had a lot of embarrassing moments in my life, but I have to say that this one most definitely made the top five, if not the most embarrassing moment of my life.
"No problem, I should've waited until you were done before taking a seat." He said in a beautiful velvety smooth voice, still smiling. I couldn't help but stare a little, and I noticed he was too, but I quickly regained my composure when the familiar voice interrupted my gawking.
"AHEM"
The beautiful man whose lap I was just sitting on, and I jumped a little and turned to look at the small, pale, pixie like figure in front of us.
"ALICE!" I squealed as I bounced up and down with excitement hugging her, I hadn't talked to her in a week.
"Bella, I didn't know you were on this flight, oh my gosh, I'm surprised to see you here, I haven't seen you since the tour, or talked to you since our last phone call a little over a week ago." She said still excited.
"OH, I know, I -"
I was about to tell Alice about my little stunt this morning, when, one I realized we weren't alone, and two Alice had cut me short.
"Oh, Bella, I'm sorry, I was being a bit rude, this is Edward, my brother I told you about." Alice said to me, gesturing to the guy whom I fell on not even five minutes ago.
I looked over to Edward, who smiled as soon as my head turned in his direction, and held his hand out for me to shake.
A blush took over my face, and I looked down to hide it, after smiling back at Edward, and shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Bella, Alice has talked about you quite a bit, you two seem to have become pretty close after just a few weeks." He said politely, I'm assuming to make small talk, in request to forget about the fall in the lap thing.
"Nice to meet you too, oh and I'm so sorry about that earlier, and I will most certainly buy you a new drink." I said trying to get his forgiveness for my inconvenient clumsiness.
He furrowed his brows, and the beautiful grin left his face. "No, no, no, it's fine, and don't bother with the drink, it was just melted ice anyways."
Even though, I still felt bad about the whole thing, and some how wanted to redeem myself. "Are you sure, it wouldn-"
"No need, don't worry about it, it happens." He said reassuringly, I decided to save myself further embarrassment and drop it for now, but I would make it up to him.
"Yeah, Bella, don't worry about it, he was going to throw that away anyways, he's had it since we left our aunt's house. And plus, girls are always inconveniently falling all over Edward." Alice said with a wink, and started laughing. I of course was completely confused at this statement.
Edward gave her a glare, but who could stay mad at Alice, he started lightly laughing with her. With me still totally confused.
Alice, of course, noticed my distress, and calmed down her laughter to explain. "You see Bella, Edward was considered 'The guy' at our high school, and middle school, but anyways, the girls are always hanging around him, and flirting with him, and doing the dumbest things to get his attention, but he consistently tries to just stay clear of the 'boy crazy girls' and I literally mean crazy!" and at that, Alice, and Edward broke out into hysterical laughter again, and this time people started staring.
I jokingly started to back away from both of them like I had no idea who they were, and thought they were just as crazy as the people staring at us thought they were. They saw me backing away from them, and realized that quite a few people now were staring, and tried to compose themselves, by clamping their hand over their mouth, and taking a seat, I also took my seat, which was next to Edward and this old couple on the other side of me, Alice was in the seat directly behind Edward.
Then a man came on the plane intercom "Everyone please take your seats, and fasten your seatbelts, and prepare for takeoff, thank you for joining us today, and we hope you enjoy your flight with United Airlines."
I strapped myself in the seat, and laid my head back on the headrest getting ready for the plane to lift, which always gives me a sick feeling.
"You okay?" Edward's silky voice floated through my ears.
"Yeah, I'm good, the lift off always gives me butterflies though." I said and put on a fake, 'I'm goanna puke face.' And tried unsuccessfully not to laugh at Edward's terrified expression, although I can't say I blame him, I wouldn't want to sit by someone on a plane who's going to end up throwing up all over you either.
"Just kidding" I laughed once again as the expression on his face went from terrified, to relieved in a matter of seconds.
I saw Edward take out an I-pod and start his music, and I couldn't help but notice what he was listening to, Clair de lune, well, he has good taste in music, I thought.
I grabbed one of the books from my tote, which I thought might be of use if I wanted to read, listen to my I-pod, or use whatever I threw in there.
I looked at the book I grabbed, it was Wuthering Heights, one of my favorite books, it gives a different meaning to what people now a days call love.
I started reading it from the beginning, and slowly drifted to sleep.
Please review, tell me if you like it so far, or if I should write more, this is my first fanfic, so don't be mean.
