Chapter 2

Sensual meetings

Bella

I was till holding in my hand the breadcrumb I have spread butter on, and I was ready to put it in my mouth. But after what I have heard, I was wondering how it did not fell of my hands.

Was it possible, my father having this kind of plans for me, and keeping it secret all this time?

Charlie knew me very well. I can say that he knew me better than Renée. We had a special, private communication code, a very unique one, which I was proud of.

I believed that Charlie was a broadminded man, and that he could never suggest me to do this kind of marriage.

How wrong I was.

It was like being a soulless piece of meat, as he had already arranged for me to meet and engage in a few days Edward Masen. I did not know him; I have never met him in my whole life. But the rumors about him were strong.

I have heard that he was handsome and charming but this was not my business. How could I be with someone that, as I have heard, was cynical and stubborn?

Rosalie who knew him told me that she had never met a more arrogant and egoistic man.

And the worst of all? He was studying medicine. I detested doctors, I was afraid of them and they used to make me dizzy. They always wanted to look smart and prove I am sick every now and then, pointlessly.

I still remember the tingling on my butt, from the injection, dr Cullen did me a few months ago. I admit that this doctor was charming but that would never make me see doctors from another point of view. Even more when every little detail, referring to Edward Masen, was completing an image of total disgust. And mostly, I was disappointed because of the fact that I had never been in love.

I always believed that I was going to marry, because of love, just like the romantic stories I was reading. I was waiting nervously, to meet someone that would make me feel, all these emotions that the heroines were feeling when they were finally meeting their big love. But the way my father had arranged this pathetic slavery, no it had nothing to do with that.

'' No!'' I said stubbornly hitting my foot down from the table. '' I do not want to get married. I am still young''

Charlie was chewing satisfied the fresh bread Mrs. Webber baked in the morning and did not react at all, hearing my words. Renee was spreading marmalade onto her slice of bread and Alice was moving nervously onto her chair, right next to me.

'' Bella do not be hurry to reject it'' Charlie finally answered.

'' Why are you doing this to me?'' I asked and took this face that I knew it would work.

'' Bella you are 17 years old, a finished woman, and in the most appropriate age to get married. And this kind of proposals are not going to happen every day''

'' I do not need any of these proposals'' I grimaced on purpose.

'' I am going to overlook the young man's virtues, that are more than remarkable, and I will refer to the money. Do you know what their deposits are? You are not going to miss a thing!'' Charlie continued seriously.

'' How is it possible that you keep talking about money? Like we need them'' I took a sour look.

'' Money is good, but a lot of money is a lot better'' a selfish smirk was carved on my father's face.

''This is unacceptable!'' I cried '' I believed that nowadays things have changed.''

'' No nothing has changed and nothing will'' Charlie looked determined.

'' No!'' I said again and I meant it '' I do not want to get married to a doctor!'' I posed my last motive.

'' Bad for you Bella! Very bad for you! This job is going to offer you even more. Soon he will be studying with his uncle and soon he will have his own office.''

'' I do not care, even if he has his own palace! I do not want to get married!'' my stubborn look didn't seem to bother Charlie.

My father placed his cup onto the table and took the most severe look I have ever seen.

'' So Bella enough, let's finish with that. God did not give me boys and I have you and Alice to be bothered enough. You have to get married because your sister is getting older and the limits are close.''

'' But Alice is only 15 years old!'' I screamed

'' Time passes fast.'' Charlie played with the tip of his moustache.

'' Father, please!'' I insisted '' you can't force me!''

'' I will not force you Bella. I am not so barbaric. I am going to give you a chance to meet him and get to know him and then we will talk about that again.''

'' But like the way things happen, it is pre-determined.''

'' I am going to keep my promise. If after your meeting, you still have the same attitude, we will talk about it and I may change my mind. But remember that in some way, you forced me to this decision. You are always so aloof, and introverted. At the feasts and our social events, you don't even accept to dance with a young man. How do you want me to think that it will come out naturally?''

'' These things do not happen by being forced to.'' I answered back.

'' So it is a deal. You will meet him and then we will talk about that again.'' That was Charlie's last word. He stood up and good-byed us. Time has already passed and if we continued this conversation he would be late for the bank.

We stayed alone with my mother and I believed I found someone more understanding.

'' So what do you have to say about all that?'' I asked angrily my mother.

'' Bella, to be frank, your father is kind of right. Betrayal… I thought. Even my mother agreed with him.

'' Lately, you have been very antisocial, dear. We struggle every time to convince you to join us to a feast. Did you forget the last time you stayed here alone because you preferred to study?''

''How that has to do with this? I just don't like social events.'' I took my tongue out of my lips, grimacing.

''Honestly Bella, I was waiting other kind of things from my elder daughter. Alice surprises me in a good way with her attitude. You should better start to take her as an example!''

Alice shyly smiled and I wanted to die. My sister and I were totally different characters. She liked expensive stuff and jewels and every single week she demanded to have another dress sewed.

I did not give a thought. I was spending all my alliance to books and I was just gratefully accepting my mother's presents. Social events were my sister's fetich. She was dressing up herself, for hours, to make young men excited, and she always filled her carnet with dancing partners, all night long.

And that was a thing I would never, ever do. I was completely graceless and clumsy. I was never good at dancing, and the last thing I wanted was to get embarrassed in front of those guys.

I tried to defend myself.

''Mother you know that this kind of amusements do not suit me. And the dancing thing…'' I hesitated.

'' come on Bella. You are as stubborn as your father is. You have not even tried to dance with a partner.''

'' This is so not true.''

''It is and you know it. I am sorry that I let you down but it is for your own good.'' My mother said and stood up from the table. '' I am waiting for Mrs. Stone to come, to fix my dress and I have no more time. We can continue this conversation later if you want.''

I was absolutely not in the mood to discuss it more. Since everyone was against me, and no one understood me I would find other ways to avoid the meeting and the marriage with this disgusting doctor. I was shivering with the thought.

'' Bella, do you want to go in town to pick some fabrics?'' Alice said when we stayed behind, alone.

'' Fabrics?'' I asked with query.

'Of course! You will need a new dress to meet your fiancé.'' my sister's eyes were already sketching hearts.

'' He is not my fiancé!'' I said and stood up from my chair.

'' I got it… I am going alone then.''

'' You are about to have another dress sewed?''

'' Of course! Either you want it or not, you will have to meet him. And I want to be stunning!'' she stood up and twisted inside the living room.

So they did not know me at all. They did not know me at all!

'' Do not rush! The meeting may be postponed! Or maybe, it may never happen!''

'' All right Bella! Do whatever you want!'' Alice said and got out of the room. I was alone now and started to organize my plan.

At the river

Everyone believed that I was crazy, going out every day, with this weather, to swim at the river. My parents did not know of course because Charlie would absolutely kill me. But now I had another reason to get sick and stay in bed for a long time. That would have as a result another visit of Dr. Cullen. But I was wondering which of the two was worse… the doctor or the groom by force?

I decided I preferred the first option.

When I got to my meadow, my personal favorite place, I felt strong and filled. The sun was still there, not hiding, and he had the ability to warm me up. I danced around myself and I fell gently onto the cool grass.

How much I loved this place… I was coming here a lot to read until I got distracted for hours. I was not always swimming at the river, that depended on my mood ant on the weather. I was easily bowing as the frozen water was making me feel alive and strong.

I closed my eyes and dreamt that I was Elisabeth Bennett. Why could not I choose my lover as she did?

I could not stay away from my house for a long time because sooner or later they would start wondering where I was. And after my morning events, the only thing I would accomplish was making things worse. I stood up and decided, and I run towards the river. The cool water made my heart beat strongly and blow inside my chest. I firstly took off my shoes and placed my feet into the water to feel its temperature.

Like I imagined. It was freezing. My teeth started trembling and I felt my hair lift on the back of my neck. If I hesitated I would never decide it and I quickly got rid of my dress and threw it away. I took a deep breath and fell strongly in the water. The low temperature made me gasp. I chilled and I could not even feel my own fingertips. Deep inside I wanted to go out immediately but I had to try more so that I make it and get sick.

I counted silently till 50 and then I got out shivering. I grabbed my towel and got inside it tightly enough but this was not helpful as proved. I would go back at home to put off my wet clothes. I hoped for a simple cold, and to a little fever. The pneumonia was not in my direct plans…

I almost run towards my house and went straightly to my chamber. I got myself naked and then wore clean and dry clothes. I was not warmed up yet and I felt deeply frozen. I descended the stairs and went to the living room where the fireplace was burning. I stood next to the fire and tried to warm my hands a little. My chambermaid, Angela, came into the room immediately.

'' Miss don't tell me you swam into the river... '' Her face looked worried.

'' I am all right'' I lied.'' Don't worry.'

I had no secrets from Angela. She was my best friend; we grew up together like sisters. Her whole family was working since I remember myself. Her mother was our cooker and her father was our gardener.

'' But you are shivering.'' I sneezed and got excited as my crazy plan started working.

'' Shall I make you something warm to drink?'' she asked me.

'' Some chocolate, if it is easy for you.'' I pleased.

Angela immediately took off as if I gave her an order. She came back within a few minutes with my chocolate and a hair brush. She started brushing my hair that was obviously twisted and fuzzy, with her soft hands. I shivered from satisfaction, and sighed.

'' Why are you doing this? Do you want to get sick?'' she asked me as if she was reading my mind.

'' Yes!'' I replied satisfied.

'' Have you lost your mind?'' she told and pulled the brush powerfully.

'' Outch!'' I complained.

'' I am sorry…'' she responded.

'' I will do whatever it takes to avoid this wedding.'' I was stubborn.

'' That's it? That's the reason why you are harming yourself?

'' It is not going to be serious. In the worst case, I am going to stay in bed for a few days.''

Thankfully I was getting warmed up. The flames made it and restored my natural temperature. But every now and then shivers were sent down my spine and my bones ached. I was totally sick. And in the afternoon things got worse. I had a sore throat and I was almost sure I was starting having fever. My plan worked perfectly. I lied on my bed and covered myself with the blankets. My mother came into the room right after Alice informed her.

'' Oh my child, you found the worst period to get sick!'' Renée commented disappointed. '' I am going to call Dr. Cullen.'' She said and got off the room.

That was the worst thing of the whole case, but I could not have it all.

I slept and I did not realize how much time has passed, when I opened my eyes and saw the doctor in front of me. And that was way worse than a nightmare.

'' So Bella I think you got a serious cold.'' The doctor said looking me in the eyes. He pulled the blankets over me. '' Take up your clothes my child. I have to examine you.'' He showed me.

Even with the thought that this cold stethoscope would touch my breasts I shivered. I grimaced but obeyed. I unbuttoned my petticoat and closed my eyes. A moment later I felt the cold object piercing me.

'' Ahh'' I sighed.

'' Take a deep breath…like that…another one…'' When is this torture going to end…? I thought. 'All right.'' The small smirk shaped onto the doctor's lips made me wonder, what he was thinking. My mother got in the room and I immediately made my clothes and covered myself again.

'' So doctor?'' she asked nervously.

'' luckily it is not something concerning. She should stay at home for a few days, dress herself good and eat all of her food. She is going to be fine soon.''

''Oh my child, how did you make it and got sick?'' I did not say a word; I just raised my shoulders, as shyly as I could as a signal of innocence.

I got over it, for now. They would delay the meeting until I recover. I had bought some time and now all I had was to start organizing my next plan.

But things did not go well, not at all. I stayed in bed for three whole days and I admit it was not pleasant. When I recovered finally they never left me alone. My mother was always present as if she knew that I would do crazy things just to avoid the upcoming meeting. Either ways it was not my intention to exhaust myself until death.

And there were no more excuses to pose to Charlie. Sooner or later I would have to undue it. The only solution left was to meet him and then talk again with my father trying to convince him. He told that he would keep his promise.

That day Mrs. Stone came by with her assistants just for me. Instead of going to the stores to pick a fabric, my mother suggested to Mrs. Stone to bring some, here at home for me to choose. Personally I did not care for any of these things. But I have to admit that the colors and the patterns were fabulous. My mother though made it and ruined it for me. I picked a light blue fabric with a soft and elegant embroider but Renée was stubborn.

'' Bella you used to wear these when you were a little girl! We want something more…sensual. Something to show out the woman you are hiding inside you!''

I did not want to look like nothing else but what I really was. But I knew that Renée would win in the end. Alice pulled a bright red fabric from the block and twisted herself into it.

'' No Alice!'' my mother said strictly. '' this is too much for you. You are very young. Maybe the light blue, the one that Bella picked first. Alice made a sour face.

Mrs. Stone's assistants brought more colors and some more patterns. Renee was examining them and every now and then she was twisting her lips.

'' That's it!'' she said suddenly and pulled a soft sugar-colored siphon. She touched with her fingers the perfect lace at the edge. She brought it onto me and she looked me interrogatingly.

'' What do you think Simon?

'' This is marvelous Mrs. Swan.'' Mrs. Stone divined her stuff.

'' Can you hold it onto her please? I want to see something.

'' Of course.'' Mrs. Stone stood me up as if I had swallowed some kind of wooden stick and brought all the fabric onto me. I was like I have been swallowed by a cocoon.

Renee lighted a cigarette (something that she did only behind charlie's back unless he was drunk so he allowed her to, or better, he thought he did…) and investigated me with her eyebrow raised.

'' What are we going to do with her hair?'' she wondered.

'' Nothing'' I answered while starting being angry.

'' Maybe if we lift them up?'' Mrs. Stone like being demanded she took and lifted my hair with a simple catch.

'' Mother finally…'' I begged.

''No no.'' she decided. '' they are much prettier when they are down. But the fabric is the right one. And now we are over, please give me the patrons.

All that day left with that way. The sketch of the dress, I convinced my mother, would be simple, because I would look ridiculous. Thankfully Renée has a good taste.

A week later and with the dress being ready, my father arranged with the Masens to visit us on Sunday, to meet their son. And the night before, when I lied on my bed I wished for a miracle to happen and make me disappear.

All my family was alarmed that day. Renee had decorated each and every part of the house with fresh flowers and Mrs. Webber was baking varied foods to embroider our table. The smell of the fresh chocolate was tingling my nose. My dear Ellen was baking my favorite chocolate cake to please me.

Everybody seemed to be touched and were in ecstasy because of the day that I would meet my future husband. The only one in a bad mood was me…

Alice had also started getting ready by the dawn, as if the groom was going to come for her. Angela tried to tighten my corset around my waist and if she continued a bit more I think I would blow out.

'' Please inhale a bit more…'' she told me. I took a deep breath and swallowed the air. I was feeling now the strings around my thorax. '' Great'' she said satisfied. She brought my dress and passed it over my head. '' Oh miss… it is gorgeous'' I noticed two glistening teardrops inside her eyes.

'' Oh no Angela, not you too please!'' I told nervously.

'' I have got a good feeling miss. Really. '' Angela showed happy but I could not share this happiness…

'' How exactly do you justify this feeling?'' I asked her.

'' I do not know but I would suggest that you should wait to meet him. You may change your mind.''

'' No way! He is going to be a doctor!'' I reminded myself.

''Sometimes things turn out to be different from what we imagine.'' Angela said and started brushing my hair. She brushed them until they shined and then started twisting them into small tails that she placed together in the end. I was looking at myself through the mirror and I was wondering if I was looking good. Of course I did not care of Edward Masen but I was curious, how would he find me?

A bit later we were all ready and gathered around the big dining room towards the garden. It was a nice day and Angela brought my umbrella just in case I was taking a walk in the sun. I wore my gloves and sat next to my mother because it was about time to serve the tea. I was nervous because the Masens would be here any minute now escorted by the Cullen family. Edward Masen was Dr. Cullen's nephew. At the first bell ring I thought that I would faint. But my heart came back in its place when Angela got in with a great bucket of flowers inside her hug.

'' These flowers are here for Miss Bella.'' She said and her smile was big and bright. How easily could she be blinded…

'' We should place them on the piano.'' Charlie suggested. '' I learnt that Edward plays the piano. It would be great to play for Bella with the flowers he sent her in the background.''

The basket was full of anemones and wild flowers. It impressed me as he picked my favorite flowers… did someone betray me? I would learn that later. Angela placed the basket carefully onto the piano and left the room.

'' Do you like it Bella? Aren't they beautiful?'' Charlie asked.

'' Yes they are pretty.'' I agreed. I did not want to cause more problems then. I was still depending on Charlie's promise, to discuss it again later.

When we were just finished with our tea, the door knocked again and there was no way that it would be another one. My husband to-be and his family had arrived.

I stood up and tried to take a quick breath enclosed by the tight corset. Dr. Carlisle Cullen showed up first with his wife. Then Mr. and Mrs. Masen followed. Right behind them, with his hands tight behind his waist was standing a young man with bronze hair and emerald eyes. My first reaction was to stay mouth opened. I shut my mouth quickly because I noticed he was staring at me, observing me. I was so stunned from the young man's presence that I did not notice Emmett Cullen and Rosalie getting in the living room right after him.

The typical introductions were done and I felt so uncomfortable when my father introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. Masen who was very extroverted and hugged me tight. And then it was Edward's turn. He touched my hand tenderly and then took it and left a kiss on it with his soft lips. I shivered.

The only thing I could think was that medicine was not the right subject for him.

Everyone was talking loudly and it was impossible to add or answer to something. Edward was in a long distance, talking with my father and his. While I was standing with my mother, my sister and my mother in law to- be. Mrs. Masen commented my dress and my beauty. I admit I liked her immediately.

I took a glance towards the men's side and I caught with my eye Edward observing me again from head to toe. I wondered if he thought I was interesting, beautiful, attractive…I don't know why, but I wanted him to like me, a lot.

I must have blushed as I noticed he focused his eyes to my face and a light cracked smile carved onto his lips. Automatically I dropped my eyes onto the floor. Rosalie came and took me to the side.

'' So who would believe that we would become cousins!'' she said leaving a laugh escape her lips.

'' Yes you see…'' I tried to smile.

'' Do you like Edward?'' she asked escaping from the usual things.

'' I….i…'' I hesitated. '' he is very handsome'' I said the truth.

'' Oh, don't be fooled from his appearance. He is unbearable!'' she added. These words of her made me worry a bit. I did not give further attention as I looked Charlie coming towards me.

'' So what would you say Edward about taking Bella go for a walk alone to the garden to get to know each other?''

'' Of course'' Edward replied as if he was struggling for this moment. I was certain that they would observe us while we would be walking but at least I would have the opportunity to talk to him a bit. I wanted to see what kind of man was he besides being beautiful.

He took my gloved hand and passed around his and like that we got out at the garden.

'' It is a nice day today'' he said and I could hear his velvet voice clearly now.

'' Yes it is really beautiful.'' I agreed.

We walked a bit more and I think he tried to accelerate. I opened my umbrella to protect us from the sun rays. His emerald eyes dived into mine and I felt like I could not breathe.

'' What do you like to do Bella?'' he asked me but I was not sure I understood the question.

'' I like reading books.'' I said breathlessly. '' what about you?''

'' I like the music.'' He replied quickly.

'' Are you going to be a doctor?'' I asked seriously.

''Yes'' he sighed. '' it is kind of a family business.'' I grimaced disappointed.

'' Did I say something bad?'' he asked and I was forced to say the truth.

'' I do not like doctors.'' I admitted.

'' And why please?'' he was entertained or it was my idea?

'' They are distant and aloof.''

'' Have you met a lot of them?'' he asked gracefully.

'' Not many of them…'' I nodded and he smiled. '' do you think it's funny?''

'' A lot.'' He started pissing me off… he was really cynical and ostentatious like it was said. I pulled and freed my hand and moved all alone nervously. Maybe he was already thinking I was stupid and innocent. I do not know why but I wanted him to have a good opinion for me.

'' Hey wait.'' He shouted and run behind me. Then he took my elbow and placed me in front of him. I looked strictly to the ground and he touched my chin and lifted my face forcing me to look him into the eyes.

'' So how do I look?'' he asked me daring.

'' You suck.'' I lied.

'' Such a shame, because I was about to tell you, you are pretty good.'' A devil- like smirk carved onto his lips.

'' Pretty good?'' I repeated. '' this is at least insulting!'' if he was a gentle man he would tell me he thought I was magnificent. That would be the best way to come closer to me. I tried to escape but with his hold that was pretty impossible. And before I even realize it Edward Masen had stuck his lips onto mine.

My surprise was to bif that I had no way to react. Instinctively I let him continue because deep inside I was feeling butterflies dancing. He passed his hand around my waist and stuck me onto him. I had never felt this kind of emotions again. I was almost dizzy and found it hard to breathe while his soft lips were rubbing mine. A wonderful lemon scent overwhelmed me. Then I felt his tongue getting into my mouth. I almost fainted as I felt a burn between my legs.

What at hell was happening to me?

His hand lowered down at my waist and when he did so I froze at my place. Automatically my hand raised and stuck onto his cheek forcefully.

''Outch!'' he complained and for my bad luck stopped the kiss to touch and rub his aching cheek. Then I found the opportunity and run away. I started running but with all these clothes it was pretty impossible.

I wanted to go to my room and cry. That was my first kiss and as it started that beautifully, it ended up being, how can I say it? Sluttish?

And the worst was that deep inside I liked it…the biggest problem was myself.

'' Bella, wait!'' Edward screamed, and when he came to me he grabbed my wrist. I looked onto the ground on purpose as I was blushing now, being ashamed. And as I wished to be lost somehow his words surprised me.

'' I am sorry! I overreacted.'' He said and meant it. I raised my face to look at him. He touched my cheek with his fingers.

'' And you are really pretty. Much better from what I was waiting for.'' He glanced. I accepted his apology giving him my best smile. And he just called me pretty! He liked me!

Ah… I sighed.

'' Can I kiss you now? I promise to be a good boy.'' He passed his arms behind my waist and now I stepped forward and closed my eyes. And this kiss was way better that the last one. Sweeter, deeper, slower. My breasts rose onto the tight corset and I felt a hot fluid between my legs. I sighed in order not to faint.

What at hell was happening to me? Was all this normal? Who could I ask?

And he as if he read my mind took his lips slowly away and looked me in the eyes.

'' we are taking it slow. One move, each time.'' Said and backed off.

'' Maybe one more kiss?'' I begged. And then he bent next to my earlobe and whispered.

'' Not here because they are watching us Bella. But we could meet secretly if you want to.''

If I wanted to? Of course I did!

''Yes.'' I agreed and nodded.

'' Later today I will send you a message saying where you will meet me.'' he glanced at me. Was it my idea or I had just arranged to meet my fiancé secretly? My cheeks were colored red and I was sure about that.

I followed Edward inside my house and Charlie with Mr. Masen had already their glasses filled and were drinking to our marriage, and to the strong boys I would give birth to! The last thing shocked me. Charlie filled my glass and let me drink.

'' So how did it go?'' he asked humorously.

'' Bella is great.'' Edward answered first. '' she is going to be the wife I have always dreamt of.''

'' And what about you Bella?'' Mrs. Masen asked me.

'' I like Edward a lot.'' I said because I felt aqward. So many things had happened to me the one after the other in such a short period of time. I was too confused.

Then the lunch followed when I was sitting in front of Edward and our sights were being crossed every now and then. After the food the men went out to smoke and the women gathered to the living room where the traditional drink my mother made was served. Angela with Lauren carried the discs with the sweets and candies and filled the table. Rosalie came closer as I tried to find a way to avoid her.

''So what do you think of Edward?''

''I want to get to know him better.'' I admitted.

''Really?'' her ironic smirk pissed me off.

'' Yes. Maybe we could find some things in common.'' I played with my fingers nervously. And this corset was torturing me. I wanted to get rid of it.

''I don't doubt that.'' Rosalie answered and took a drip of her drink. ''That is very good. What is she making it from?'' I was glad that the conversation moved to another subject. Time passed quickly and men came back in the living room to start leaving and saluting. The typical procedures continued until Edward good-byed me with a soft kiss on the cheek. And before I make it to go away his hand took mine and placed a little piece of paper in it.

Maybe that would include the place of our meeting! I tightened my hand in order not to let it fall. When everyone left I was relieved hoping that I could finally get the corset out. But before I try to react Charlie came towards me with tears in his eyes and hugged me.

'' Bella, you made me so happy tonight! There are literally no words!'' he said and I was shocked. '' the Masens left with the best impressions. Edward is excited with you.''

''Really?'' I asked.

''Oh yes of course! Oh do not underestimate yourself Bella!''

''Edward is gorgeous!'' Alice snapped from nowhere.

''Bella you have to tell us how do you find him my child. How did he treat you when you two were alone?'' Renée asked worried.

Of course I did not dare to say the truth. Or better I did not want to tell her. Because deep inside all I wanted was Edward, I wanted him desperately to act like that again…recalling our kisses I felt the butterflies dancing again inside my chest.

''He treated me very well mother. And I admit I might have a wrong opinion for him.''

'' You see? I was telling you.'' Charlie was about to die due to his happiness.

''Really…'' I asked shyly because I did not want everyone to know how much I desired to see him again as soon as I could. '' when am I going to meet him again?''

''aahh.. Bella you are in a hurry!'' Charlie said and laughed. ''these things need time. I will have to talk with his father and then arrange the date for your official engagements. Besides now that I remember you did not even want to hear about him.''

'' Yes but now that I met him I changed my mind!'' Edward's image smiling to me at the garden, while the soft breeze was blowing his hair snapped my mind.

Was there a way to make the wedding sooner? All this procedure with the engagements and all the typical things would last a long time. I had though my last hope inside my hand. We did not say many things. I excused, being tired because of the events and I got in my room. Angela came luckily and helped me undress myself. I could finally breathe right.

-'' so miss? I was right in the end!'' Angela understood that I liked Edward and she was the only one I could say the truth to. I told her each and every thing until she stayed mouth opened.

-'' and you are about to meet him secretly? ''

-'' Yes. '' I said and opened my folded piece of paper.

'' I learnt from Rosalie that you like going behind old-tom's hut every single afternoon. I will be waiting for you there tomorrow. Yours, Edward. ''

-'' aahh…'' I sighed and fell onto my bed..

-'' Be careful miss''. Angela said scared. But I was lost in my world.
Since they want me to marry him so much that was what I would do. There was no reason to postpone it. I wanted to meet Edward as much as I could. I wanted him to give me more kisses, and feel more butterflies. I wanted to…I did not know what other things the couples were doing.

I mean, I almost knew how children were made even if I had never seen a naked man –from the waist and down-. But I made it to take some special books with images that showed everything with every little detail. I swallowed to that thought. Why something deep inside was telling me that Edward would be able to teach me a lot more?

I kept the thoughts for myself.

-'' Angela, I am going to need your help tomorrow. If my mother looks for me…''

-'' Don't worry. I will tell her that you were helping me study. ''

-'' Thank you.'' I said and Angela saluted me and left the room. I stayed alone to look forward for the next day. I could not wait to meet my fiancé.

I lied down and closed my eyes to sleep but I could not make it. Everything I have lived that day was trespassing my mind again and again. I was feeling my tummy tight and all of a sudden the burn between my legs returned. My underwear got wet and that made me shiver.

I do not remember how many hours have passed that night until I finally got asleep.

Thank You for reading. Chapter three won't take much long! ;)
