I was sitting on the park bench, watching the kids playing the splendorous sun. The wind lightly playing with my hair, messing it up ever so slightly.
This was one of those rare carefree days of my extremely crazy life. I heard a man calling "ice dream, popsicles and frozen yogurt!" I think I deserve a small treat, I got up and went to him.
"One frozen yogurt please" , then I heard a lovely voice chuckle behind me "Make that two, and I'm paying" I turned around, to see Edward, the hottest guy at school.
He had never talked to me before; well to be honest in my defense, he really didn't talk to anyone, he was a loner.
He had the cutest hair, with side swept bangs in the front, with the rest of his warm teddy bear brown hair falling freely on the rest of his head. Oh and those eyes, those adorably small eyes, that make it look like he's squinting, they're the most beautiful shade of blue; that is indescribable. His lips looked so soft and irresistible, that make me wish I could kiss him and forget everything else in the world.
I was pulled out of reverie and dragged me back to reality, when I heard his velvety voice say, "hello". At that moment , me a straight A student was lost for words. I clumsily said, "umm…hi".
He was about to laugh, but the vendor said, "Here you go, two frozen yogurts". I started to hand the ice cream vendor a 5 dollar bill, but Edward stopped me, "Like I said, I'm paying." He told me with the most dazzling smile. "umm…thanks", was all I could manage to say, god was I acting stupid right now.
Then, my very slow brain at the moment, finally found something articulate to say "So why are you paying for my frozen yogurt?"
He smiled shyly and said "Well it's one way for me to pay you back for the favor I'm about to ask from you" My stupid brain almost made me say "well you standing here is enough, but I'd rather have a kiss than frozen yogurt." , but that wouldn't be smart, so I stopped myself and instead asked "what favor?"
He looked down at his feet, then back up at me and said, "Lets go sit on the grass under that tree and eat our frozen yogurt, then I will tell you. Unless you don't want to, you have the choice." He asked innocently, like anyone would say no to him, and maybe someone else would say no; but I definitely wouldn't.
I had become distracted again, until I noticed he was starring at me intently waiting for my answer, like it was a matter of life or death. "sure", I said and then the smile returned to his face, this made me extremely curious now.
We walked over and sat down, eating our frozen yogurt in silence. When we were done, I said thank you again, and he said, "Like I said it's nothing compared to the favor I'm about to ask from you."
I was extremely curious now and had to ask again, impatiently "what favor?" He sighed and said "I will tell you now but remember you don't have to agree if you don't want to. I don't want you to say yes if you don't agree with what I'm asking for, and…"
I cut him off "Edward, just tell me, what is the favor?" He sighed, sounding like he had given in, "fine" he said
"Where to begin?" he wondered to himself, "Bella, you know I really like to keep to myself, it's actually a rule I have for myself…"
He saw that I was about to cut him off and ask why, so he quickly added "it's a long story, maybe I can tell you sometime. But like I said I really never talk to anyone, but I have found an exception that makes my rule worth breaking."
He stopped and looked into my eyes, looking for a reason to either stop or keep going. But I had a question and since my stupid brain wasn't working right at the moment, it slipped out, "who or what is your exception?"
He was surprised by my outburst, but chuckled and answered my question, and his answer left me shocked "you" he said matter of factly.
I stared at him in shock and said "what?"
"Yes," he said completely serious "I watch you sit in the park every once in a while, and observe as you relish in the beautiful day, and it made me want to come talk to you. So I did, and here we end up back where we started, me, asking you out, on a date."
He sat there patiently waiting for me to say something. I had nothing, I sat there in shock.
Did he realize that he never really asked before he said that, I was about to bring it up but, he laughed and said, "I understand if you don't want to, and if you think I'm a creeper for watching you. But I saw you and immediately felt something, I'm really not sure what, but all I know is I've never felt anything like it before…"
I was even more shocked, and could not think or say anything, he took this to mean I didn't want to and started to get up.
I quickly gathered my thoughts and said " Wait Edward…umm. I'd love to go on a date with you."
"You really don't have to if you don't want to Bella." He said solemnly, his expression hurt me so much, just to think I had caused that pain with my hesitation.
"No I am being completely honest, I really would love to go on a date with you."
He smirked "Are you completely sure you want to go out on a date with a stalker." he said jokingly. I laughed "You are not a stalker" I assured him.
He laughed and asked where I wanted to go on our date, I told that I honestly didn't mind where we went.
We finally decided on going and seeing a movie, the next night.
Before I left I was dying to ask him a very random question, "Why did you say that asking me out was me doing you a favor?"
This made him sad, he was probably wishing he wouldn't have to explain that to me.
He finally said "Its just that...it's hard to explain Bella, maybe if the date goes well, i'll tell you"
I decided not to push for an answer, I just said "fine, see you tomorrow Edward."
He simply responded "can't wait Bella"
His words sent a strange sensation through my body, a sensation I had never felt before.
I knew I couldn't wait either.
