Bella's POV
I woke up the next morning and it was already nine. Fuck I can't believe I woke up late. Man I still have to get used to the time zones. I rolled over and I fell on the ground. Guess it's a sign for me to get up. I headed straight for the shower. When I was done I headed to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. We had loads food in the was a good thing because I didn't want to go buy some now. I grabbed my cereal and went into the living-room to watch some TV. I was flipping through the channels when Rose came out of her room.
"Oh Good morning you're up already." Rose said smiling.
"Yeah I'm sorry I woke up late I have to get used to the different time zones." I said
"No its okay, anyways I was wondering do you wanna go shopping today?' she asked
"Umm…yeah when do we leave?" I asked her taking my cereal back to the sink.
"We can leave now."
"Oh okay then I'll just go get changed then I'll meet you outside." I said
"yeah I have to go meet up with the secretary I'll meet you up front okay." She said
"Alright, I'll meet you in a few minutes." I said turning to my room.
With that I turned and walked to my room. I changed into some skinny jeans and a black tank top, I grabbed my sweater, put on my converse and grabbed my keys and wallet and headed out.
I was distracted the way out. I was looking down when I bumped into someone.
"Oh I'm so sorry I didn't see where I was walking." I said looking up and seeing a boy in front of me, and not being able to take my eyes off him.
I mean don't get me wrong he was one hot guy he had bronze hair and green eyes and when he smile you could see his dimples.
"It's okay, no harm done." He said smiling at me.
"Well I'm still sorry." I said.
"And I said that it was okay." He said amused
"Oh well then thanks but I got to go." I said and walked away.
I was almost around the corner when I heard someone running.
"Hey wait." They boy said.
"Yes." I said
"Well you dropped your keys when you bumped into me." He said handing me my keys.
"Umm…Thanks…" I said
"You're welcome." He said
"yeah umm…I didn't catch your name." I said
"Oh me either." He looked confused as if he was expecting me to know it. "Well my name is Edward Cullen." He said smiling.
"Oh well my name is Isabella Swan but call me Bella." I said giving him a smile.
"Oh well Bella it was nice meeting you."
"Yeah me too see you around."
I walked away and made it to the entrance. I saw Rose with two girls.
"Bella this is Shailene and Hope." She said gesturing to the blond girl and the brunette one.
"Hey I'm Bella." I said giving them a smile.
"Hey." They both said.
"Well let's go shopping." All of us said and laughed.
When we got there it was big it was nothing compared to the mall back in Forks. We went shopping for clothes for shoes books and dresses. Most of my clothes were pink and black. Yes I got to admit sometimes I can be a girly girl when I want to. Then we all separated and went to buy more stuff I went into a place where I saw they sale decor for houses.
When I got in the store I saw lots of things I wanted to take them all. I got in and found a pink rug a night lamp and other stuff I got them and went to pay.
"That would be 120 dollars." The cashier said.
I got my wallet out and handed him my credit card. He slid it and turned the screen so I can punch in my numbers. When I was done he handed me the card and gave me my stuff.
"Have a nice day." He said smiling
I was in the need of coffee. Then I remembered when I got here I saw a coffee stand. I decided I would go get some. When I got there I ordered my coffee and then went to sit and wait. I was pretty much spacing out and then I remembered that I haven't called my dad yet. Oh Shit I'm going to call him or he'll get pretty mad. Then I heard someone call my name.
"Bella?" I turned to see who it was. It was only Edward.
"What are you doing here? "I asked what a stupid question to ask. He was probably here to get some coffee or something we are in a coffee-house.
"Umm I think it's obvious I came to get some coffee." He said smiling in amusement.
"Ha-ha I knew that." I said laughing.
"Ha mind if I join you?" he said
"Umm…sure." I said
He was looking around making sure no one was watching us. I saw him look at two people who were nodding back at him. I wanted to know who they were but I just dropped it. Edward turned around and relaxed.
"So what was that about stranger?" I said smirking.
He laughed and then smiled. "Nothing I was just looking around."
"Alright." I said smiling
"Yeah so where you from?" he said taking a sip of his coffee.
"I'm from the Washington in the U.S." I said smiling at him
"Oh you are from the U.S." he said smiling.
"Yes I am." I said
The whole time I was watching him and he was relaxed. He kept looking around and then I noticed he was wearing shades and trying to be unrecognizable. I let it go and he continued with his questions it was past two and I was going to meet with the girls in ten minutes. I guess I wasn't the only one that need to go somewhere because then he looked at his phone and turned to me.
"Umm Bella I need to be somewhere now and I need to leave." He said apologetic
"No worries I have to meet my friends in a minute so I need to leave too." I said
"We should do this more often, how about I take you to lunch tomorrow." He said smiling. His smiled gave him away because it looked like he was hoping for a yes.
"Hmm… let me think about it." I said smiling and then I saw his face drop. "I'm just kidding of course Id love to join you for lunch tomorrow." I said laughing.
I gave him a piece of paper with my phone number on it. He smiled and walked away and said that it was nice having coffee with me. I smiled and went to meet up with Rose, Hope and Vanessa.
Edward POV
When I bumped into Bella, I got to be honest I thought she was gonna be all over me, but instead she wasn't, it was like she didn't know who I was and I kinda liked that she didn't know. That means I can act normal around her I don't have to worry of her like I do with other girls and I expected that she would have known my name when I told her. She didn't which was just confusing to me. She probably didn't even know that I was the prince of England and I wanted to keep it like that but I knew that it wouldn't be for long the rumor would spread that I Prince Edward was studying in the University of St. Andrews and that would push her away and she would act different and I didn't want that. I felt the need to get to know her. I just haven't felt like this with other girls but with Bella I felt different.
I followed her all the way to the mall and see what she would do. I saw her go to the store and buy something then I saw her go to the coffee shop and I decided to make my appearance. I had my body-guard checkup the place before I went in. I didn't want to get the media's attention now when I was with Bella.
Minutes later my bodyguards Chase and Taylor came out.
"It's all clear Edward." They said and followed behind me.
"Thanks Taylor and Chase." I said walking in.
I saw her ordering her coffee and waiting for it. I went up to talk to her. She looked up like she was spacing off.
"Bella." I said, she turned around and saw me
She seemed surprise to see me. "What are you doing here?" she asked me and I was trying hard not to smile but I gave it away.
"Umm I think it's obvious I came to get some coffee." I said with amusement.
She laughed "Ha-ha I knew that."
"Mind if I join you." I said
She smiled at me. "Umm… sure."
I was looking around making sure that the media wasn't here. I wanted to keep Bella safe from them. I turned to Chase and Taylor who were sitting in the corner having some coffee and they nodded back reassuring me that no one was here. I relaxed and I notice that Bella was staring at me. She was probably scared now but she didn't say anything.
"So what was that about stranger?" she said smirking.
She seemed so relaxed and not nervous at all maybe I don't ever have to tell her who I am. Then I thought that sooner or later she'd find out and act different so I might as well enjoy it before she knows.
"Nothing I was just looking around." I said
"Alright." She said smiling
I asked her questions like where was she from, what she likes to do, what her favorite movie, book, song was and I was surprised that she was from Washington and didn't know who I was. She probably doesn't even care. This is good, for me, because I can act normal around her and she would treat me normal.
I realized that I was gonna leave soon because my parents wanted to talk to me about my new responsibilities. I didn't want to leave so I asked her if she wanted to join me for lunch, and she was pretty funny messing with my feelings, but she eventually said yes. She gave me her phone number and said to call her so she'll know where she can meet me at.
I was excited that I met her and that I could take her out soon but I hate to keep things from her now that i got to know her and she basically said that she hated lies but I have a feeling she won forgive me for this one.
OoOoOoO
When I got to London I received welcomes from my family. I just left Bella and I'm already missing her. Oh this is going to be a long day. I can't wait to be back in campus already. I was spacing off until my mom got my attention.
"Son, we have news for you." My mom said excited
