Meeting Merlin

Alice was dragging me threw the mall yet again. I mean really she knows i hate shopping yet she still brings me. So anyway we had just finished shopping at Victoria's Secret much to my embarrassment. My cheeks were bright red and my head was down so i didn't see the man in front of me till it was to late.

"OWW!', we said at the same time

I laughed up to see a gorgeous boy about my age maybe older. He had dark brown hair almost black, and the most beautiful blue eyes. He stared back intensely.

" My apologies I wasn't looking were I was going.", he said blushing

" It's okay it was my fault anyway.", I said blushing also

" I'm Merlin", he said

I noticed he had a English accent. Merlin stuck out his hand and I shook it. when we touched a shiver went up my spine. Apparently Alice realized that I wasn't with her, threw her shopping high haze. She was walking towards us, with an eyebrow raised in question.

" I'm Bella", I said smiling

" Well Bella I must be off I hope to meet you again!", he said in that cute accent of his

Wait... cute I was dating Edward. While I was mentally arguing with myself, Alice had dragged me into another store.

" Who was that!", asked Alice

" I don't know, I ran into him his name is Merlin.", I said

*2 days later*

I had come to the conclusion that I was just thought he was cute, nothing more. I mean I can't base my whole relationship on some boy I knocked over in the mall. Can I? No, I love Edward and I had school tomorrow, and Edward would be showing up soon. I got up and went to the bathroom to do my nightly routine. I then went down the stairs to get a cup of water. I had gotten the cup and was turning around to put the water pitcher back into the fridge when my elbow hit the cup sending it off the counter. I closed my eyes tightly waiting for the sound of the cup hitting the floor. I waited and waited but it never came. I turned around looking for the spilt water but there was none. The cup sat on the counter were I put it. Strange I could have sworn I hit it with my elbow

" What are you staring at ?", asked Edward scaring me shit less

I jumped out of my skin!

" Dammit Edward don't do that!", I snapped

I know I probably should not have snapped at Edward, but my nerves were already frazzled. Edward raised an eyebrow at my crude language. I just sighed and blushed.

" I'm sorry I just am tired and you scared me." , I said defeated

" It's alright love lets get you to bed.", Edward said ushering me upstairs

I looked back at the untouched water and frowned I could have sworn...

* The next day*

I was walking into school with Edward and Alice, when I bumped into someone. I looked up to see none other than Merlin.

" Bella we got to stop meeting like this!", he chuckled

i nodded and blushed

" I didn't know you were going here.", I said

" Well life is full of suprises!", he said smiling

Still smiling I turned to Edward who was glaring at Merlin. What the fuck! Then Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me into his side. I repeat what the fuck, Merlin had done to him. Merlin's eyes widened and he coughed uncomfortably.

" Well until we meet again Bella.", he said bowing dramatically and walking off.

I tried and failed at holding in my laughter at Merlin. Both the Cullens were staring at me so I stopped.

" What was with the death glares Edward?", I asked

He just shrugged! I sighed and walked to class.
