Chapter two: Blue guitar
Bella Point of View
When I turned around I notice a pair of sensual, intense, and sweet green eyes. I quickly close my eyes hoping that the Adonis in front of me was part of my imagination. When I opened my eyes and saw him leaning against my door. When I took a second look I noticed his beautiful features: he had messy bronze hair I wanted to run my fingers through his hair, pale but luminescent skin, and when it was time to admire his entire face I couldn't help but stare. His features are true perfection especially those eyes that go deep into his soul. I try to look below his neck but his grey cashmere sweater and dark blue jeans did not prevent me from drooling over him; the shirt he wore helped accentuate his muscular arms. Could he look any better? He's so sexy. Who is this Adonis? He looks like he was sent from Heaven just for me. No Bad Bella he is your boss no need for distraction. I bet he has an amazing body. I quickly closed my mouth; I probably created an alleyway for flies to enter.
After I stared at him for what seemed like forever. He half-smiled at me and said "I…wow you're really good." When he said this I felt my cheeks turn crimson red, I felt like a dorky thirteen year old girl with braces who just got noticed by the popular boy in school. Could this get any worse; first I stare and now I blush, what's next?
"Eddie! Look, this is Bella my new nanny." Jane's voice squealed with excitement as she went to hug him. Hearing the sound of her voice brought me back to my senses.
"Hello…um…Eddie." I grinned and then quickly hid it from him. It was cute seeing how he reacted when Jane called him "Eddie" how his eyebrows pulled together showing how uncomfortable he was by the name. "I am Bella, Jane's nanny. But I guess you already know that" I said while trying to cover my smile.
He caught my playful manor then he said "well um…Bells isn't it?" he pointed and asked "I am Edward Cullen, Jane's brother." He extended his hands for a formal greeting. "You have an amazing voice I wish you would play some more." He scratched his head as he talked "if you want to…I guess."
I really don't like playing in front of people; I've always been private with my music. I just played because Jane would not stop pouting once she found my guitar. On top of that, how can I play when I keep thinking about the green eye male model standing across from me, its torture to play, think, and sing! I had to think of something to distract him, I looked around the room and saw the time "Oh no look at the time Jane!" I said trying to sound disappointed that it was already time for dinner.
"What time is it?"
"It's five. That means it's time for dinner." As soon as I said that Anita came to my room and confirmed what I said.
Jane went running eagerly out of my room to get ready for dinner. When she left Edward and I were left in the silence staring at each other. Why is it that his eyes light up and sparkle when he sees me? Face the facts its all in your imagination! I didn't want to feel like an idiot who was constantly staring at him so I left my guitar on top of the bed and slowly walked out of the room. I was about to walk down the stairs when I tripped on my own two feet. I mentally prepared myself for the fall knowing that I would end up in the hospital for the billionth time for a swollen, broken and/or bruised ankle, wrist, toe, anything you name it. However, I was shocked when I opened my eyes and realized that I was pulled by a strong warm arm. When I looked up and turned to thank the person that saved me from a humiliating fall I was met with Edward's eyes.
I murmured "thank you" but neither of us were pulling away from each other. I felt this electric current running through my body hitting every nerve. Being in his arms I felt like I found home, like I never wanted to escape his warm touch. I have never met anyone who has impacted me this much. We just stared at each other, our faces being centimeters apart. I could feel his sweet breath brushing on my skin and blowing my little hairs. I tried to say something but I just opened my mouth took a gulp and closed it again. I didn't want to end this moment but I feared that he probably didn't think of me as anything but the plain nanny.
"Hey Eddie! Mommy said to come down to eat!" Yelled Jane from the end of the stairs, thus causing us to break our focus and walk down the stairs.
Once I approached the dinning room I was looked at from five pair of eyes. Esme first introduced me to her husband; Carlisle Cullen. Then I was introduced to Emmett, the oldest Cullen child. Unlike Edward, Emmett was very muscular, taller, brown haired. He looked like a big bear. I took out my hand to present myself but instead of shaking it he surprised me with a tight hug until I felt the air being pushed out of my body. Emmett then presented his wife Rosalie to me; to say that she was pretty was an understatement. She looked like the high fashion Vogue models from a foreign country; she has blue eyes and shiny curled blond hair. I felt like the ugly duckling standing next to the stunning dove. This took a blow to my self-esteem.
"So Bella, are you from New York?" asked Carlisle from the head of the table.
"Actually I am not from New York; I lived all of my life in Washington…the state."
"Have you been around in the city?" Asked Edward who was sitting next to me.
"No, just malls if you consider that a proper tour, well it is to my roommate Alice." I smirked remembering Alice's shopping trips.
"Well, consider me your new tour guy" Edward shook my hand like if he was introducing himself for the first time.
Wait…I'm going out with this eye candy! I need to pinch myself just incase. Is my mind playing games on me? I nodded, scared to say something that might take this moment away. I need to tell Alice EVERYTHING!
"Anita more, pollo!" Yelled Emmett as he rose his fork and knife.
The dinner continued with Emmett eating five large chicken breast and more mashed potato than I've ever seen Charlie consume. By the time dinner was over I walked Jane to her bedroom to get her ready to sleep, it was Wednesday and she had to wake up early to go to school.
"Bella I can't wait for this weekend!" said Jane clapping her hands
"Why?"
"I'm going to spend time with my mommy and daddy!"
"That's great Jane, now go to sleep" I said pointing at her nose.
I walk to the door of the room and turn off the lights while Jane turns on a flash light in her dark room. "Thank you" she mumbled
"I don't know why but you're welcome"
"My family they are always busy, but tonight was the first night we actually had dinner, together. Like a real family." Her eyes full of sadness and tears were about to form in the outside corner of her eyes. I closed the door and went to sit on the edge of her bed to sooth her.
"You're family loves you very much! Don't ever doubt the love that they have for you, even if at times they seem very distant."
"Bella, I love my family but Emmett is always with Rosalie, My dad and mom are always working and then they come home they are super tired that they don't want to play with me, and Edward he's always at the hospital. He doesn't even play the piano, like he use to do, he used to be my best friend in the house and now he barely hangs out with me." Jane looked down at her hands and asked "Do you think…um….what if they don't like me anymore?" Jane's tears started to fall and I couldn't help but hug her as tight as I could. I know it has only been a few hours but I felt like Jane has become a little sister to me, besides my big sister, Alice. I need to make her family feel like a real family, the home that every kid deserves to have.
"Jane…have you mentioned anything to your parents?"
"no" she said and dried her tears with the back of her thumb.
"Take this weekend and tell them how you feel. Don't ever be afraid to express your heart out. It will be hard but I know that your family will listen and fix this problem…now go to sleep because tomorrow you got school."
I closed the door to Jane's room and I started to walk towards my room. As soon as I closed the door I started to jump up and down. I can't believe I'm going out with Edward! He asked me out! Wait Bella what if it's not a date? What if I make a full of myself? He probably just wants to be friends, don't go overboard...its cool, I'm cool with being his friend. But so what I'm going out with him! After jumping for a few minutes I went to take a shower, desperately needed the warm water hitting my back I needed it to massage my spinal cord so I can relax. After the shower I went to call Alice.
"Alice…I need your help!"
