I woke up on Tuesday dreading school. I slowly followed my morning routine and made my way to my truck silently wishing for in to be Sunday already.
When I opened my door I noticed there was a small black box with a note lying in my seat. The note was typed.
Bella, it read:
I am sadden to know that Valentine's day holds no joy for one as loved as you. Please except this small token of my affection and know that my devotion to you is prevalent 365 days a year. February 14th shall be the day I began to prove these words. Until then, look after my heart I left it with you. (A/N) I think Stephanie's words fit nicely here.
Forever yours,
Me
I read and reread the note several times before I took the box and slowly opened it. Inside was a beautiful heart shaped crystal on a thin silver chain. My heart was flying. This definitely wasn't something any of the three stooges did. This came from some one romantic, wise and sophisticated. The only person I knew who fit that criteria was Edward Cullen but he hated me. Well it seems I have a riddle to solve. Now I can't wait to get to school. I just hope this isn't a joke. I put the note in my backpack and the necklace on my neck and headed of to school hoping to find out who this new admirer may be.
(A/N) sorry to interrupt. I don't usually switch POV during a chapter but I think Edward should tell this part of the story. Please review. Improvement in writing doesn't happen unless you know what you are doing correctly and incorrectly. Flames are welcomed and often laughed at so feel free. Thanks for reading. Oh and yes the heart is the same diamond charm he gave Bella in Eclipse. Now on to the story.
EPOV
I listened for the sound of the engine that announced the arrival of the most beautiful creature in existence. Oh, how I longed to tell her of my love for her. I was anxious to see her hoping to hear her telling someone of the mysterious gift that lay on her truck seat this morning. She arrived at school with only minutes to spare. She was smiling and glowing as she stepped from her truck. I stared at her glorious face but was distracted by a sparkling light coming from her neck. I lowered my gaze and was shocked by what I saw. She not only accepted my gift but she was wearing it. My mother's diamond heart. It was radiant on her. I made my way to class floating as I listened to hear if my beautiful Bella told others of my gift.
I didn't have to wait long. I read the words I had written through the mind of Angela Weber. Bella had handed her the note. She was blushing when Angela looked up from the page.
"This was with it. Isn't it beautiful," Bella said gingerly holding the heart pendant out proudly for Angela to see.
"Absolutely," Angela agreed, "who do you think it's from?" Bella looked thoughtful for a second before responding.
"Well, you know who I want it to be from, 'Well Duh, Edward Cullen' Angela added mentally, "but you also know that I think he hates me. So I'm not getting my hopes up." Angela chuckled "Oh, Bella I don't think Edward , she whispered my name, hates you. Maybe he's just shy or doesn't know how to talk to you. Just be patient." I was beginning to really like Angela. "Thanks Ang, I'm just glad I have something to look forward to on Valentine's Day." Bella Smiled.
They didn't speak for the rest of the class but Angela kept glancing at Bella who was blushing and holding the jewel tenderly in her small hand. If this small token affects her so I can't wait to give her the rest of my gifts. I to had something to look forward to this February 14th. God, I love her.
The rest of the morning and lunch passed in a blur. Biology on the other hand went so slowly I felt as if time itself slowed to allow me to sit next to this perfect creature for just a little longer. It took all the restraint I had not to reach out and touch the gem that she so lovingly caressed with her tiny fingers. She smiled and sighed each time she touched it. I longed to tell her it was from me but I didn't want to ruin the surprise. So I sat and pretended to ignore the angel seated beside me knowing that soon she would know that I worshiped her.
I watched her drive away in her decrepit truck at the end of the day. I hope she likes my next gift. Well I would see tomorrow. This is going to be an interesting week.
