"So I'll see you in 2 days?" Cullen said to me so soothingly
"I think so" I smiled
We were stood facing each other just by the door and I was looking everywhere else except him face but it didn't last long because I made the mistake of looking up and seeing his piercing green eyes staring at my face and the way my lips moved and all I wanted to do was lean in and kiss him but I knew I couldn't
"You will" I stuttered nervously and blushed
"Bye Bella" He laughed
"Bye Cullen" I spoke without thinking and tried not to hit myself in across the head for it
I was just about to reach for the door handle when I heard
"Edward"
I turned around to face him and he smiled
"What's Edward?" I asked confused
"My name" He laughed "It's Edward, Instead of calling me Cullen that is"
"Oh" I said surprised "Edward"
"Yes?" He smiled
"No, I wasn't asking a question I was just repeating your name" I blushed again
Stop making a damn fool out of yourself and get out of the room already
"See you on Friday Bella" He spoke
I didn't reply and I didn't look back I just reached for the door so I could be free from all of the sexual tension in the room.
Charlie was waiting outside for me and he looked behind me and smiled at Edward before the door closed
"So, How was it?" He asked
"Not as bad as I thought it would be" I laughed
He smiled at me "Let's go Home, Bells"
The next few days were so long, I was just counting and waiting patiently for my next session with Edward, I don't know why I was looking forward to it so much. I just wanted to see his face and his eyes and his hair and…
"I was actually surprised to see Doctor Cullen there today" Charlie mumbled around a spoon full of rice pudding
"Huh?" I asked confused "What do you mean?"
"Well Bells, Don't be alarmed but Edward, I mean Doctor Cullen is only a few years older than you. He is at College studying Psychology and to do that he has to do some volunteer work which his Father Carlisle sorted out for him. I was alarmed to see him working there so soon" Charlie smiled at me
Fuck me.
The rice pudding I was eating dripped out of my mouth and I looked like I had just hit puberty all over again
"He is eh only a few years older?" I asked confused and trying to wipe all the desert of my face
"Yeah Bells, He only graduated from your high school a couple of years ago, so you are like 18 now right going on 19? He is only 20" Charlie said again
Have I died and gone to Heaven?
Edward the man who is so beautiful is not in his 30's after all
"He only goes to the James Voltaire College up the road" Charlie said again
"Oh, I know there, we are visiting it for my school trip tomorrow" I spluttered nervous again
And that was all it took to make me forget about our sessions because tomorrow I was going to his college and tomorrow I would hopefully see him and not make a fool out of myself as usual.
So I went to bed early and I dreamt about what I would wear and what I would say if I saw him.
In the morning I woke up as nervous as ever and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
I stayed in the shower a bit too long and I brushed my teeth for the longest time ever and then I dressed in a blue top with a check shirt over it, Slightly skinny jeans and Vans with little drawings on them.
I pulled on my leather jacket as I headed out the door and rushed to school, Of course I was the first person there and it's not like it was my first day because I had been here for months.
The class still flooded up and Lauren barged through the door like the Sweeney
"Bella?" She waved excited
Yuck
"Hey Lauren, How is everything?" I smiled
"Good, Can't wait for the school trip, Did you know Alice's brother is speaking to us about what happens if we decide to go to College?" She squeaked
"I don't really know Alice yet so I don't know her brother" I complained
"Oh well he is so good looking" She smirked
I highly doubt he is better looking than Edward
When we got to the bus Lauren shoved me all the way to the back next to a small girl who was pixie like
"This is Alice!" She wailed
Embarrassment
"Eh, Hi, I am Bella" I smiled
"I know who you are" She smiled back "Everybody does new girl"
Alice was nice enough, I talked to her through out the bus drive and even when we got to the College and my heart sped up we still talked.
When we started walking through the corridors I raised my head up high and started shaking my hips from side to side just in case Edward saw.
Alice pulled me by the hand to sit by her in the hall, we were surrounded my so many people and she squeaked bouncing up and down in her seat
"Oh I can't wait to hear Edward's speech" She bounced
"Yeah" I patted her hand trying to calm her down "Wait…WHAT?"
"What?" She looked confused
"Edward who?" I asked
"Cullen" She still looked confused "My Brother, I am Alice Cullen"
Oh My Gosh
"Your brother is my psychiatrist?" I looked outraged
She giggled "Well he isn't actually a psychiatrist as he is still in college but he helps out there yes but why do you see him?"
"Uh just family problems" I blushed
"Do you like him?" She winked
"What? No? Why would I?"
"Relax Bella" She giggled again "It's alright if you do, He is only a couple of years older than us and I won't tell him if you do"
"Ah, Thanks" I sat back in my seat relaxing and I smiled at her
That's when the stage started filling up and Alice's bouncing went into overdrive of course my heard was beating as fast as her bounces and that's when I saw him.
I gulped and my mouth popped open and I saw Alice watching my reaction from the corner of her eye and she giggled.
To make things even worse he was wearing a grey suit but it fit him perfectly and you could see his muscles in it.
He sat on a chair behind the principle and he stared into the crowd but he didn't notice me or Alice which was a shock because she was still bouncing in her seat.
For what seemed like an hour passed by and Me & Alice whispered to each other to relieve the boredom when it was finally over Edward stood up
God knows why Alice called it a speech because all he said was
"If any of you are thinking about enrolling in College after High school would you please split into groups of each school and I will wait for you in the canteen and certain times and show you around" But his buttersoft voice spread through the whole of the hall and all I could do was blush and take deep breaths
"Our class tour is not till after lunch so would you like to get some lunch with me and sit by the lake?" Alice asked kindly
"That sounds great" I smiled "Yes"
Lunch with Alice was amazing, We had so many interests in common and it was hard to not like her straight away. Thankfully she never once asked me why her brother was my physiologist and I was relieved for that.
"Would you like to have tea at my house tonight? My Boyfriend is coming round and it is just going to be amazing and I'd love it if you came?" She said without stopping to breath
"If you want yes" I smiled
To be honest I never thought about if Edward was going to be there I just carried on talking and I was excited I had made a new Friend.
It wasn't long till she looked at her watch and then up at me and said
"It's time" She squealed
She pulled me to the canteen to where our class was stood and pushed me straight into somebody
I looked up shocked and he looked down and
Kill me now.
"Bella?" He asked amazed
"Hi Edward" I said blushing
"What are you doing here?"
"I am with the class and…" An annoying pixie interrupted me
"She is with me Edward, She is in my school and she wants to go to College" Alice bounced
"Hey Sis" Edward smiled at her and scuffled her hair which she glared at him for
"If you would all follow me please?" Edward spoke while still staring down at me
Me & Alice turned first and he followed behind us which gave me the great opportunity of shaking my hips
"Are you shaking your ass in front of my brother?" Alice whispered
"Eeek! No! I was just, I have something in my shoe and it's making me walk funny" I shrieked
"Nice ass Bella!" One of the boys in our class shouted to me in front
"Calm down now" We heard Edward say
Alice peeked behind us and then whispered to me
"Don't stop, It's working, His eyes didn't leave your ass while he said that" She giggled and bumped her hips against mine
Satisfied I carried on all the way to the room, Edward took us two at a time into the bedroom to show us where we would live if we stayed on campus, When it was just Me, Alice and Edward in there it was slightly awkward, Alice bounced around us saying "Oooh's & Aaah's" While Me and Edward talked to each other
"Oh my god, Look at that plant, Look at how fucking lovely it is!" Alice screamed
"Alice, You don't get a plant in every room, That person brought it in and yes it is rather fucking lovely" Edward spoke to her as if she was mentally challenged. I couldn't help but burst out laughing
"Bella, We have to both share a room when we go to college, Yes definitely, It will be amazing and we will be like best friends and you can sleep over there by the fucking lovely plant and I'll sleep closer to the wardrobe" She shrieked running up to me and bouncing in delight
"If you say so, Looks like I have no choice in this matter" I smiled at her wildness
Me & Edward looked at each other and smiled
"I have never known anybody to put up with my sister for an hour so well done for getting through the day with her" Edward spoke to me so soothingly
"And night Edward" Alice wailed "Bella is sleeping over tonight and we can all get drunk and play truth or dare"
"Alice I said I would come for tea, Not stay the night" I complained
"But you have to Bella" She said stomping her feet
"Yes, You have to Bella, And Alice never takes no for a answer" Edward said
A whole night, In Edward's house
I think I just swooned
"I'll have to ask for parental permission but I am sure it will be fine" I laughed
"YAY" Alice bounced
When we got of the school bus I had to grab my car and drive it home, Charlie was fine with me staying at Alice's house after I called him Dad and he smiled so brightly.
I am sure he would let me get away with robbing a bank if I called him Dad.
I grabbed an overnight bag and skipped to my car so excited about the night ahead.
Huh, That's funny, I have never felt this happy since Renee cared about me.
Renee, Phil
It was the first time I let myself think about them since what happened.
Luke, I would never forget about my baby brother for as long as I would live.
