MY STORY OF LOVE
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns everything about Twilight including Bella and
Edward and all I own is the plot. *sigh*
Chapter 2
The softest pair of lips were slowly making their way down my throat, nipping
and sucking after coming to the point where my neck meets my throat, marking
the territory as their own. I was so far gone that I couldn't pay attention to the
nagging voice at the back of my mind that was yelling my name over and over
again.
"Bella," Edward sighed as he paused his ministrations on my neck and started to
ghost toward my lips. My tongue came out on its own accord and wet my lips,
waiting in anticipation for the moment his lips touched mine and just as I could feel
his breath on my lips, I was rudely awakened from my fantastic dream that seemed
to make its appearance almost every night, but never finished by a tiny, pixie-like
human standing at the foot of my bed, glaring at me.
"What do you want Alice?" I groaned as I pulled my comforter over my head.
My mind was still reeling from the dream. Although, I dreamed almost the same
thing everyday, never had I it made this far. As far as I could feel his breath on my
awaiting lips. The dream usually stopped by the time he made it to the base of my
neck and it killed me that I couldn't finally kiss him even in my dream.
Edward Cullen caught my eye the first day that I joined Harvard. I have never
spoken to him in my three years in college and in another four months, My last
year would be ending and Edward Cullen would just become a fantasy. The one in
which you have something right next to you, but which will never be yours.
I am not the kind of person who by any standards has a low self-esteem, but if
you took one look at him, you would know what I am talking about. My best friends
Alice Brandon and Rosalie Hale swore up and down that never in the 10 years that
they knew me did I act like that about a guy. Little did they know that Edward was
not any guy. He was The Guy!
It was not like he did not know that I was alive. I at least had that edge over the
other girls who were pining away after him, both juniors and the passed seniors.
The fact that he knows who I am at all is because of my two best friends whose
boyfriends were Edward's best friends and in this vicious circle, I was lost. Even
though both of us hung out in the same friends circle, we barely spoke to each
other except for the precious "Hi" and "See you later"s.
"GET UP BELLA!" Alice screeched at the top of her voice and at that moment
I knew that I became deaf and I was never, ever going to hear Edward's velvety
voice again.
"Hey, I heard that," Alice said, wounded.
Oops...I didn't realize that I said that out loud.
"Alice, its just that I had another dream and you woke me up just before the best
part and in all this time you still haven't said why you woke me up and you better
tell me before I strangle you to death."
"Are you forgetting something Missy?" she asked, an evil gleam in her eyes.
"Um, not that I know of?" I said.
She hummed and perched down on my bed.
Uh-oh.
"Edward is going to ask you out today!" she sang.
Oh and about that?
Alice thinks that she is psychic and the funny thing is that whatever she predicted
ever since we were little, came true. About a month ago, Alice came tearing down
into my room and started jabbering that exactly a month from that day, Edward
would ask me out. I just snorted and went on doing my homework. Somehow I had
a hard time believing her. I had known Edward for almost three and a half years
and in all of them he had not showed any interest in me, so why would he suddenly
ask me out?
The longest sentence he had ever said to me was last year.
He said to me "Had a nice summer Bella?" and of course instead of giving a sane
answer, I just spewed out some crap which even I did not understand after I came
back home and thought about that conversation.
"C'mon sleepyhead! Your late and I have to help you get ready so that you do not
come into college looking like... well... like you!
"What is wrong with me looking like me?" I asked, offended.
Its not that I had bad clothes or anything, it's just that I liked wearing comfy
clothes like my jeans and a hoodie and I don't know what is wrong with that!
"Aw sweetie, I just meant your crappy clothes, Not you."
"That just makes me feel so much better Al…"
"I don't care what you say Bella, I'm getting you ready today so just suck up to it."
She ordered already looking into my closet, wrinkling her nose.
I sighed and gave in knowing that I would lose the battle anyway.
After my bathroom routine and my shower, I came out wrapped in my towel only to
be assaulted by Alice and Rose.
'No, Rose not you too!" I wailed.
"I'm supporting Alice this time Bella. I don't want to see you pining over a guy who
you do deserve by the way, and want to show you that he actually does like you!"
she said.
"What makes you think that he likes me?" I asked
"Bella, all those rumors about him are not true! He hasn't dated anybody since he
came here and Emmett swears that he thinks that Edward is still a virgin." she
said.
"Oh, and Jazzy told me that Edward was asking about you the other day. You know
the day you didn't come to class because you were sick? Jazz said that Edward was
pretty concerned. You sure know how to pick your guys Bella!" Alice piped in.
Jasper was her boyfriend and Emmett was Rose' of them are like the big
brothers I never had.
"Blah blah blah" I muttered under my breath causing both of them to glare at me,
exasperated.
One hour later
"O.M.G bitch, I could totally fuck you right now!" Rose said, moving her eyes
appreciatively up and down my form.
"Uh, thanks, but no thanks," I said.
They forced me into black skinny jeans and a white button up shirt and gave me
strict orders not to fasten the first two buttons. Thankfully they didn't do much to
my face, they just applied some mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss.
All of us were ready to get to class and we started towards the door. All of us lived
in a 3 bedroom apartment about 3 miles from campus and the rent was a bitch
even though we spilt. Even though each of us has a car, we decided to carpool
everyday to cut down costs because gas just added to our spending.
It was made final when my decrepit truck wheezed its last wheeze.
So today morning we piled up into Alice's yellow Porsche and in about five minutes,
we were in the campus. We got out of the car and headed to our different classes
after making plans to see each other for lunch.
I was majoring in English literature and both Alice and Rose were majoring in
fashion designing. My first class was English. I went in and sat in my usual seat
waiting for the teacher to start teaching. It looked like he was going to take a while
so I started looking around. My eyes first found Edward and my god! Did he look
good enough to eat…
I had a hard time looking away from him, but I had no choice ,but to turn away
when the teacher started class. I had a hard time concentrating, but I somehow
managed. After class, I started putting away my books when the light was blocked
by someone leaning over me.
I looked up to see Edward looking all nervous for some reason. My heart started
beating so fast that I was surprised that it didn't fail.
"Uh, Bella?" Edward said.
"Yeah?" I asked surprised that my voice was calm and collected despite my internal
squealing.
"Umm, I was wondering if maybe you would like to go to dinner with me tonight?"
.God! I could not believe this! Alice was right…again.
Edward misjudged my silence and started to turn away, looking dejected.
"Sure, I would love that!" I said.
His face lit up and he said "Great! Ill pick you later tonight, Okay? Maybe, about
seven at your house?"
"Okay. see you then," I smiled.
As soon as he left I called Alice and scheduled a time to get tortured, but inside
I knew that this time, the torture was worth it.
