Bella pov
The feeling was tremendous a tazer like shock without the pain just the thrill. He picked us both up a hint of regret in his eyes. "Thank you." I said tying not to be rude. There was something about him I just couldn't put my finger on. Then it hit me butterscotch eyes this has to be "Edward?" I asked him to make sure my theory was correct.
"Yes how did you know my name." he asked a bit shocked.. I decided to take him in to his sisters. Or I could ask him if he wanted to see them. I didn't want to have some kind of fight break out in the middle of the club. "Edward are you on speaking terms with your sisters." I just decided to ask out right.
"I would like to see them again but sadly no, we haven't talked in decades." he said.
"Literally." I added he looked taken a back by my statement. Oh well. "Come with me." I said leading him into the club. Alice and Rose were at a table with all-knowing looks on their faces. Oh Joy I thought sarcastically. I led Edward over to the table.
"You did say you would like to see them again." I said to Edward who was preoccupied staring at me for some strange reason. He looked forward and saw his sisters and a huge smile broke out on all their faces. Edward sat pulling me down with him to sit in the chair beside his.
"Okay so you know my sisters correct?" he asked stupidly
"No Edward I just decided to sit you down at this random table and hope to get lucky." I said sarcastically we all laughed.
"Does she know." Edward asked suddenly." they nodded, he smiled bigger. They must be talking about the Vampire thing.
"So do you guys wana get out of here and grab something to eat at my house." I asked trying to be serious and failing miserably.
"You do have a nice forest on the outside of you apartment complex." Rose said jokingly.
"Hey now." I said "No eating the tiny little forest animals outside my apartment." I said as we all broke out in laughter getting some very strange looks from around the club. "Lets go." I said as we all got up and went to the car. Rose got into Alice's car and Edward asked me to go with him in his car. I hesitantly accepted his offer. We got into his car and I gave him directions. When we got to the house he stopped the car, I was about to get out when he stopped me.
"Bella?" he asked. I waited for him to say something.
"Yes" I prompted impatiently.
"Do you want to do this again sometime just the two of us?" he asked me. Oh. God. I have no idea what to say to that. Do I say yes and leave Claire again. What if it gets serious and I start to neglect her for him. I don't want her to have to go through that. Her mom dating some guy she doesn't know. Plus I want to be able to spend some more time with Claire I've only known her all of two years. I'm not ready.
"Look Edward I like you okay." I said a bit embarrassed
"But." he prodded.
"But I'm just not ready to be in a relationship. I have a two year old daughter and I don't want to be with any body for a while. I would still like to get to know my baby." I said a little emotional.
"Of course I wouldn't want to take you from your baby. But can I ask you some questions. You know? Get to know you as a friend?" he asked. He wanted to be my friend. My heart soared.
"I would like that very much Edward." I said and got out of the car him following my lead.
We were all settled into my apartment, I had Claire on my lab sitting next to Edward on the love seat. Alice was in Jasper's lap on the sofa , and next to them were Emmett and Rose. Rose was sitting across Emmett's lap leaning on the arm of the sofa. Emmett was sitting up right against the sofa back.
"Okay Bella I have a question for you." Edward asked. Oh joy. I turned to him. "How did you come to know seven vampires?" we all laughed including Claire. Edward forgot she was there and looked down a bit worried.
"She knows Edward." he looked relived. And then looked up to me expectantly. "Well I meet Alice at the hotel I work at. She was a guest. She came up to me and said we were going to be the best of friends. I decided there was something about her I liked so we started hanging out. Simple as that. I knew there was something weird about her I just couldn't figure it out. Eventually she told me. She said her whole family was like that and then asked if I wanted to meet them. I said "yes but will they like me?" She just laughed and said "so your not scared to meet a house full of Vampires but weather or not those Vampires will like you." Alice and I said that at the same time. I then went back to telling my story. "I just nodded. "You are one strange human Bella." she told me and to this day I still am. And I guess I passed that down to Claire here." After my story we were all laughing. Edward put his arm around my shoulders. It was very comfortable. So instead of cringing away like I'm sure he expected I just leaned into him. As did Claire. He stiffened a bit but them relaxed. The both of us eventually fell asleep once we all settled down at 11:00.
