2 months it's been since that night, the night I got lost and had stay in a strangers flat. Well that stranger was Edward Cullen and I can tell you that he is no longer a stranger. Everyday for two months I had seen him and each time he had walked me home or taken me out to the coffee shop, where he introduced me to his two friends, Emmett and Jasper.
Edward was great, he was charming, handsome, sexy, a gentlemen. Everything anyone will ever want in a guy although sadly I doubt he thinks the same about me. 16 year old Bella swan. How, if my own mother couldn't love me, could a 24 year old I had only known for 2 months.
I walked into the coffee shop, having not seen Edward today I ordered my hot chocolate and sat alone, reading another magazine. I was well into my magazine when I felt a presence next to me. I lifted my head and my eyes caught those of Edward Cullen's. His bright green eyes, you could gaze into them for hours, days even years. They were so mesmerizing.
"Hello, beautiful" He said smugly. I smiled slightly and felt my cheeks blush, he chuckled while I greeted him back.
"Hey" I said lamely. He smiled and looked at the steaming hot chocolate I had on the table.
"You got the usual?" He asked, I nodded. I didn't really have much to say so I just stayed quiet. He leaned back in his chair and just watched me. I tried to concentrate on the magazine but it wasn't working.
"What are you looking at ?" I asked, laughing slightly. He smiled and lent forwards so his elbows were resting against the tables.
"You" He said smugly.
"Well, obviously" I said, there was a hint of sarcasm in my voice but it was barley noticeable. He looked at me, as if he was watching my expression.
"Go on a date with me?" He asked. It wasn't the most normal way to put it but it sounded like a question just without a 'will you' on the front.
I was stunned for a moment before I realised what he'd said. A date ?! With me? OOo. What do I say? What do I say?
"Um, yeah sure" I said I could feel the smile on my face. He smiled back at me and stood saying he would pick me up at 7. I finished my hot chocolate and looked at my phone, the time was half 5. I had enough time to get home and get ready. I rushed home, watching where I was going this time.
I opened the door to my room and threw my bag on the floor, it landed with a thump next to the door. I ran into the bathroom and started the shower before going to choose something to wear. It was a good job I had saved a lot of money to go shopping and buy myself some new things although while I was shopping I ran into Edward so he walked around with me and told me whether or not something looked good on me.
I picked out a bodice style floral print dress. (Profile) I laid it out on the bed with some black bangles and a silver necklace. I rushed into the bathroom, stripped off and jumped into the shower.
I looked in the mirror as I examined myself, I had on black peep toe heels with the dress and had to hold the dressing table so I wouldn't fall. They weren't that high but my balance was terrible, even in flat shoes. I think I looked good so I grabbed my purse and headed out of the room, locking the door behind me and putting the key in my purse. I walked...or stumbled to the reception of the hotel and waited for Edward to arrive. I saw Sam stood behind the counter and when I wasn't looking I saw out the corner of my eye that he was looking at me. It creeped me out to know he might have been thinking somewhat disgusting thoughts about me.
I heard the door open and looked up and saw Edward stood smiling at me, he walked over and took hold of one of my hands and said,
"You look beautiful" I blushed and looked down. He walked me outside and to a silver car that had Volvo written on the back. He opened the passenger side door for me and I thanked him as I climbed in. He walked around to his side and sat down, turning on the engine. He drove really fast and I was scared we might crash but we never even came close to it. I then wandered where he was taking me.
"Where are we going?" I asked. He looked over at me for a second before replying.
"You'll see when we get there" He said cockily. I laughed and shook my head.
"I don't like surprises"
"Well, my beauty you shall just have to wait as I am not going to tell you" I left it at that, not bothering to say anything else. Not 10 minutes later we pulled into a parking lot and Edward jumped out of the car and came round to help me out. I took his outstretched hand and got out of the car wobbling a little. It wasn't until we were walking that I had trouble. We were walking towards a rather large building when I tripped, I closed my eyes waiting for the impact that I was sure would come but...i didn't feel anything except two hands firmly around my waist.
"Whoa, there" Edward said, putting me up right but not letting go of me. "you okay?" He asked, smiling. I nodded and noticed that his hands were still glued to my waist. I coughed, indicating he could let go. His hands loosened and eventually let go but being replaced by my hand. He led me into the building and I realised it was a cinema. I smiled. How cliché is it that our first date is in a cinema? It's like were in a movie ourselves.
"What film would you like to see?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders and said he could pick, I really didn't know what I would have picked there was so many to choose from although I would have left out the horror films. Undoubtedly if I saw a horror film I wouldn't be able to sleep alone for a while. Edward walked us both over to get our tickets and the man behind the desk started to ogle me, making me feel uncomfortable.
"Hey! Yeah I would like two tickets to the new nightmare on Elm street!" Edward said, his voice hard after catching the guy looking at me, I thought it nice to know he was trying to protect me from someone like that guy. He scrambled around on his computer before producing two tickets. Edward put his arm around my waist and led me over to where there was popcorn and other beverages.
"Would you like anything?" He asked. I nodded and asked for popcorn and a drink. He walked us over to the cashier and got a large popcorn and a large drink. I guess we were sharing, not that I minded I actually like all this mushy date stuff. I'd never been taken out on a date before because I was always worried about what would happen to Renee at home with Phil. I held the popcorn as we entered the theatre, now I wasn't so happy because it was a horror film and I knew with horror films like these that they were hard to watch but you couldn't take your eyes away. We found some seats at the back and sat down, the movie started not long after and I could truthfully say that I wouldn't be sleeping tonight. I hadn't screamed yet but I would close my eyes and grip Edward's hand. The film carried on and it got to a part were there was a lot of blood and you could actually see him ripping them apart with the knives on his hands. I screamed and literally nearly ended up in Edward's lap. He chuckled as I closed my eyes, I had my head rested on his shoulder as he brought his hand up and pulled me to his chest and started stroking my hair. I felt him place a kiss on my forehead and I couldn't help but smile.
The film eventually ended and I was grateful when it did. I held Edward's hand not letting it go even when we got to his apartment, where we agreed to order pizza. He made no move to let go of my hand as we walked around and ordered pizza. He turned on the T.V and put on a music channel as we ate the pizza, I only let go of his hand when I was eating the pizza and even then we were sat in close proximity of each other. We finished the pizza's and sat in silence together before Edward got a 'smart' idea. He stood up swiftly and offered me his hand, I took it slowly debating what he was going to do. He pulled me up and brought me over to the middle of his living room and pulled me against him swaying to the music, his hands rested on my waist but brought themselves around my arms and put them around his neck. I raised my head and looked up at him. He was smiling down at me with and emotion in his eye that I couldn't place...Love? Maybe, but I don't know. I smiled back shyly and looked into his green eyes. This was more than just a crush, I think I was falling in love with him. I have known what love was like once...when my dad was alive but it wasn't like this. No. This was different, it made me feel...well, I don't know, the emotion I was feeling was knew to me.
He brought his hands back down to my waist and continued to sway us to the music. The song had changed many times, we were both lost in our own worlds. He brought his forehead down against mine and seeing as I was quite a bit smaller than he was it was pretty awkward, I stood on my tiptoes as high as I could but it didn't make much of a difference. He laughed under his breath before bending his knees and bringing his hands down to the bottom part of my thigh's and lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around him and he once again rested our foreheads together. I stared intently into his eyes as he did mine, we were both breathing heavily when he brought his lips to mine. I didn't respond at first but then understood what I had to do. Our lips fit together perfectly and moved together in sync. We had stopped swaying and were just kissing now, and I must say it was the best first kiss ever. We broke apart to breathe, resting our foreheads together again I couldn't keep the smile from appearing on my face and Edward noticed as his smile got bigger. He walked over to the couch, not letting go of my legs and he sat down so I was sat on his lap with my legs around him. I giggled as he did and he brought his lips back down to mine in a chaste kiss. I felt him smile into the kiss before pulling back. We sat together for a while in silence before a yawn escaped my lips. I looked at the wall clock and saw it was past midnight.
"Your tired?" He asked, and I nodded blushing. I looked down as I felt my cheeks go red, he brought a finger to my chin and lifted my face so I was looking at him.
"I love that blush of yours, so don't ever look down and I guess I will get you something to wear again, the spare bedroom has covers on the bed excetra. You can stay in there if you like" He said, letting go of my hips and sliding me off of his lap.
"Um, that's the thing I um don't wanna' sleep alone after seeing that horror film" I said, embarrassed again. "Could I um, maybe stay with you?"
He looked at me in awe and nodded his head, holding out his hand for me. I smiled and thanked him quietly. He walked me to what I presume was his bedroom and opened the door and held my hand still as we walked through. He grabbed a top form one of his draws and passed it to me, I thanked him and he told me I could change in his on-suite bathroom. I changed into the t-shirt and it came to just on mid thigh, I left on my bra and underwear obviously. I folded my dress up and walked back into the bedroom to see Edward already changed and laid on the bed in only some sweats. The sight made me want to swoon. I slowly walked over to the bed and sat down awkwardly before he grabbed my arm and pulled me further towards him on the bed with a cocky smile. Our sides were touching now, well when I say sides I mean I was laid on my side with a hand on his chest while my chest was against his side. He laid one of his hands on the small of my back and was stroking small cirlcles. I yawned, and covered my mouth with my hand. Edward pulled the covers down and climbed under bringing me with him. He lent over and turned off the bedside lamp turning the room black, I felt panic as it went dark and I clutched myself closer to Edward's side. I felt him turn over so his chest was against mine and he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead before we both drifted into a blissful sleep.
