I entered the library the next day. I can't help but think about Edward Cullen, the student librarian.
Sometimes, I even see him gazing at me with dreamy eyes, but I think, those time were purely my imagination.
I like him, his bronze unruly hair, his forest-green eyes, his lips that pulls into a lopsided curl when he smiles.
I love how he makes me smile with just one look.
I can't help but wonder if he will ever like me too.
I took the book I have been reading yesterday: Twilight. I was relieved when I found out that this book could not be checked out of the library since I really wanted to see his face some more. I was secretly peering behind the book while he was reading on his own.
As I opened the book to the latest page I read, a piece of paper fell down. I stooped to pick it up. It was a letter. For me.
Isabella,
I love the way you literally run inside the library, stopping when the head librarian shushes you.
I love the way you blush, the way your pale skin reddens.
I love the way your fingers skim through every book you read.
I love the way your eyes dart from a word to another.
I love the ways your lips part when you seem surprised.
I love the way you bite her lip in embarrassment.
I love the way you smile at me.
I love the way you talk comfortably with me.
I love the way you pout when the book you want to read was taken out.
I love the way your brown hair hits the sunlight, where tinges of red are obviously shown.
I love the way your liquid brown eyes look at me, it fascinates me.
I love you. And I always will.
E. C.
I stared at the piece of paper in my hand, tears threatening to fall from my eyes.
I have never felt so… loved. I gazed longingly at the letter and looked at Edward Cullen.
Wait.
E. Edward. C. Cullen.
Edward Cullen is in love with me?
I shook my head.
Why on earth would he love me? Or perhaps, like me?
I know this seems stupid. This could be another guy with the same initials as him. But I'll risk everything for love.
I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote.
E. C.
I think I know who you are. If you are the E. C. that I am guessing, then, um, I don't know how to say this.
I love you too.
I may seem stupid by confessing because I don't know if you really are the E. C. that I love but then, life is full of risks isn't it?
Isabella
PS. Bella would be just fine.
I folded it neatly and tucked it inside the book.
I shakily stood up and put the books right back in its shelf. I grabbed my things and headed out of the library, passing Edward Cullen, whose gaze I could feel as I left.
