A/N: Hey guys, i hope you are liking it. I usually don't write, im much of a reader instead of a writer, so i'm trying my hand at this. If you see a mistake tell me! and feel free to say anything, i'm open to new ideas, so review if you want.
So here is it! the same chapter in edward's POV... let me know if i got in character, even though i don't think that edward is old fashioned in this story. Enjoy!
Chapter 2
Edward's POV
"God," I thought, "help me in this torture, I want it to be over soon" I hate balls, and this in France is not the exception. My little sister Alice and I were riding with my mother. My dad had a meeting with the Parliament.
"Edward, Edward, look at the huge mansion," Alice yelled from behind me, trying to hide her excitement, knowing how much I hate this stuff, but miserably failing.
"Its ok, Alice, go ahead, you can be excited." I said and patted her head.
"Aw, why are you so negative?" She grumbled, clearly annoyed because I ruined her fun.
"I'm not negative, I'm being realistic. Instead of spending money on these ridiculous outfits we should be using this money on something important.
"NONSENSE," my mother said, nearly shouting and raised her hand. "Edward, please, for your grandmother's sake, grasp this idea. You are so far the most handsome Prince ever, and we are here looking for a bride."
"Mother! I do not need a bride; I do not need a woman in my life. I'm doing just fine by myself."
"That's what you say. I bet that if you fall in love with a girl, you wouldn't be so grumpy." Alice said and glared at me. I easily ignored her.
"Even your sister sees that you need love in your life son." My mother stated calmly.
"I don't need love, I have you, I have my family's love! Isn't that enough?!?!" I could feel the rage building up inside me from the countless times I had this conversation. "Just… stop," I said, rubbing my temples to try to get rid of the headache I instantly had.
They were both silent for the rest of the evening. I was at Alice's side the whole time, answering the thousand questions she was asking.
"Edward, didn't you say that this mansion has a lot of rooms?" she asked, much too quiet to be good.
"Yes, Alice. 2000 rooms or so," I eyed her warily, trying to guess her plan, and immediately felt how she pulled my hand and my whole body with her tiny frame, away from the ballroom.
"Alice, what are you doing?" I hissed, while she kept pulling me farther away, but I just kept walking with her, and didn't put resistance, letting her pull me away.
"I think we should explore this huge place by ourselves," she chirped happily at my side.
"Ah" I simply stated.
We stopped at the end of the hall and turned left and stared at the huge gardens in front of us.
"Aw, the moonlight looks delightful on the flowers." She said and lightly sighed, probably thinking on Jasper, her longtime boyfriend that stayed at home tonight, and we both fell quiet for a while.
"Alice, may I ask you a question?" I thought on how to phrase this properly.
"Yes, you may," and she giggled and put her hand on her mouth to stiffen the laughter.
"Er… umm, well I was wondering, what do you feel when you're with Jasper?" I looked away trying to hide the blush on my face that showed my embarrassment.
And awkward silence filled the air, and I thought about the stupid question I just asked.
"I mean, if it's not too personal, don't feel obligated to answer, I was just asking… nothing important." I quickly amended.
"Oh Edward," she said giggling again, and hit me lightly on my shoulder, "don't be stupid, I was just thinking on how to describe it. The love I feel for him is far too great to be measured by words, when I'm with him I feel complete, like some part of me was missing, and didn't know until I found him. It can't be described with word, I can't even attempt too" She smiled heartily at me, and I placed my hand in hers again.
"Thank you Alice"
She smiled back again, "I'm heading back inside, don't be late, Mom said there's going to be a big announcement tonight. You sure don't want to miss it" she said and winked at me.
"Sure, go ahead. I'll be back in a few minutes." Said that, she left my side and walked quickly back inside.
When was I going to feel what Alice felt for Jasper? Would I find the love of my life? How does she look like? Does she even exist? This question plagued my mind day and night… Yeah right, every girl on this planet wants me just for my looks. Ha! Too much for a dream.
I started to walk in the garden, when I heard steps. I froze immediately to listen better. The steps started to get faster… and closer. I lifted my gaze and saw the most beautiful creature my eyes have ever seen. A white-skinned girl with chocolate brown hair that swung freely on her shoulders, and perfect body in a dark blue gown, was running with such grace towards me…. Towards me! In a blink of an eye, she started to fell, and I caught her in my arms. I guess she was expecting to fell down, because she slowly opened her eyes and stared at me surprised. I quickly lost myself in her brown eyes, and in that moment, I knew I had found her.
