Hey guys, thanks for those who have reviewed my story. Enjoy Chapter 2!
This girl was beautiful, her hair curling perfectly underneath her jaw. The flawless features sprawled across her face created a most wonderful and irresistible thing to look at. I must have been looking at her for ages, and I could do so for much longer, but if I did I would most certainly look like an idiot. I smiled a crooked smile, in the attempt that she would be dazzled like I was with her. I was not rich, I didn't have a great job, but I hope I am deserving enough.
She must have felt something for me as she offered me to take her to the dance. What an honour!
Do not stuff this up Edward. Make it work. Make it sound like I'm not urgent.
'I'd love to come. But I'm afraid I don't think I have anything to wear that matches your standard of clothing,' I blurted out.
Why the hell did I say that for? Go and buy something for God's sakes. Don't say it too her face! It'll make me look cheap. Too late now.
'Oh, my father has many tuxes which I'm sure my housemaid, Alice, can alter the sizing to make you fit into it,' she offered kindly.
Look Edward! Look what you've done! I've made her offer me clothing which just proves to her that I am nothing. Nothing at all worth to deserve a creature such as herself. I should just turn around ashamed of myself and hope to myself I find someone like her again. No that's not good enough!
'I can't hassle your maid at a time like this! No, I shall buy a new one. I need one that I can claim my own if I am to take such a beautiful lady.
She blushed slightly and looked down on the floor.
Edward, too much flattery. One step at a time.
'Well, have you had any experience with dancing?' I asked in the kindest way.
'Sorry to inform you, but I suck. Really badly. I've fallen on my face, many times in fact, tripped over my own feet........'
She must have gone on for about 20 minutes, but I didn't mind. I got to look at that beautiful face for as long as I wanted without raising suspicion as it looked like I was listening. I wasn't really. Not when I had something far more interesting to do.
'.......broken my partner's arm-'she broke off after seeing the shocked look on my face.
'But that won't happen to me, I happen to have taken some dancing lessons in the past. You are in good hands, have no fear!' was what I said to make her sigh of relief.'
'You are in good hands' what a lame person she must think I am. I never find the right thing to say to the right person. Need to work on that. Just relax....
It struck me that I didn't even know her name! What a fool I am for talking to this girl and commenting on her good looks when I don't know who she is! Say this the right way.
'I suppose I had better get back inside. My father must be wondering what I am doing. I shall see you at the party then?'
'Yes you shall. But I must inquire after your name,' I tried to ask in the right manner.
She giggled, and then I joined in.
'Of course, how silly I am! I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella.'
I can call her Bella? Woohoo! She likes me, she likes me-
Before I knew it she had already gone and left me there congratulating myself. I waved to her through the window, and she waved back.
I felt good. I was strong. I could do this. Or not.
SHOPPING
I walked cautiously into the crowded shopping mall, to find that every girl in the room was grinning at me. That was a good sign, I think. I swiftly made my way over to a tuxedo store and went up to the counter. It was a woman.
Strange, a woman doesn't usually work here, or at least I thought.
'Yes dear, how can I help you? Found the right girl to impress?'
'Yeah, I think very much so. I need something appropriate for a dance. Have you got anything that meets this requirement?' I asked.
The women walked over to the clothes rack that looked the most sophisticated of them all and pulled out a black tux. It was very nice, but I wasn't looking forward to the cost.
'This looks good, doesn't it? Well, what do you think?' the women asked.
'One question,' I said 'how much?'
The woman only laughed at this remark.
That's all for Chapter 2. Hope you enjoyed it! PLEASE REVIEW!!
