CHAPTER TWO
Edward Pov
I awoke the next morning anxious to start my 'challenge'. I was still a little bit worried that 'the weirdo' as I was beginning to call her, since I didn't know her name, would become a mad crazy stalker. I still wanted to prove Emmett wrong though, prove I could do it. I actually thought about my appearance for once. I was gorgeous, I knew that. Girls loved me no matter what I wore, but I had to make an effort today. I rummaged through my closet pulling out a pair of dark blue G-star jeans, and a green top that not only showed off my muscles, but made my eyes stand out.
I'm not gay, I have a fucking sister.
There wasn't much I could do about the hair, I had tried and failed over the years, it worked better in the mess I left it in. Once I was ready I went down to breakfast thinking about the day ahead of me. I couldn't exactly show up to pick the girl up to take her to school. I was pretty sure she was the chief of police's daughter and I knew where she lived, but that would just be weird. I'd have to find a way to talk to her in school.
I met Em and Jazz in the car park as I normally did and glanced around to see if I could see her. I saw the big hump of crap she drove and figured she was already inside.
Early, figures!
I guessed she probably got to school about half an hour before it started to make extra sure she wasn't late. What the fuck had I gotten myself into this time?
"Em? Do you by any chance know the name of this girl I'm supposed to get to love me?" I asked.
"Her names Isabella, Bella." Jasper answered me.
I looked at him shocked.
"Are you sure?"
"No Edward, I'm telling you false information so you'll screw up and lose a bet I'm nothing to do with. Of course I'm sure, she's in our gym class."
"Oh." I couldn't think of anything else to say. I had never really paid attention to anyone I didn't think was important. Jasper was good that way, he seemed to just talk to anyone, if he wasn't dating my sister Alice, I wasn't sure I'd even be friends with him. Well that was a lie, I liked Jasper, he was just a little sensitive sometimes.
I walked ahead of them looking around for Bella when I entered the school. I walked around a bit to all the usual places people hang before first period. I began to regret doing that as I ended up caught in stupid conversations with Mike, Jessica and Lauren, people I just couldn't be bothered with right now.
Where is she? Where would she be? .. The library.
Of course she wouldn't be where 'normal' people hang. She was a book worm, every time I saw her, which wasn't often she had her nose in a book, I felt a bit stupid for not thinking of that straight away.
I took the stairs two at a time up to the second floor, pausing outside the library door. I had never entered the library before.
Suck it up Cullen.
I pushed open the door and entered, trying to be quiet as the signs around the room commanded. I saw her sitting in the corner looking down at a book with a disgusted look on her face. I briefly wondered what had caused the look until I noticed it was a Biology book she was looking at. Was she in my Biology class? Yeah, yeah she was. I watched as her skin turned slightly paler and her face screwed up more as she turned the page. I had to cover my mouth to stop me from laughing.
"Your face will stay like that you know?" I whispered to her making her jump.
"Oh, erm, what?" Her face turned a deep crimson as she responded to me, which made me chuckle.
"You don't have to blush." I told her making her face redden even more.
"I..I..I'm sorry?" she said as more of a question than an answer.
"Don't be, I'm not." I purred seductively at her.
She looked slightly lost as if I had just told her I was going to take her into the forest and kill her. She was obviously shy and I was making her feel awkward. I tried to make her feel a little more comfortable.
"Biology? Your in my class aren't you?"
"Erm, yeah, I think so."
"Are you stuck?"
"Erm no, well yes, well I don't like blood and it's making me kind of nauseous and .." She trailed off looking utterly confused as to why I was standing talking to her.
"Why don't I help you? Say my place around seven?"
If I thought she was blushing before her face was on fire now. I gave her my trademark smile knowing that would seal the deal.
"Erm, your place? seven?" She was staring at me in shock.
I considered asking her to come straight after school but I didn't really want people to see her getting in my car.
"Do you already have plans?" I asked.
"Well, no."
"So what's the problem?"
She looked up at me as though she was contemplating something.
"Nothing, no problem at all. Your place at seven." She repeated the words as though they were a puzzle she was trying to figure out.
"See you tonight then." I purred before walking away to my first class.
Bella Pov
"Erm dad?"
Charlie looked up from his dinner plate waiting for me to continue. The problem was I didn't know how to. I could feel the blush rising to my cheeks as I stuttered through the words I was trying to tell him.
"I, erm, I well, I'm going out tonight, to erm, well, I'm going out to study tonight, at erm, well someones house?" It sounded like a question when I finally managed to say what I was trying to say.
"Mhm." Was the response I got.
"Who's house?"
"Erm, Edward, Edward Cullen's house."
"O.k Bella, have fun, don't be back too late."
"I won't." I told him before kissing his cheek and going upstairs to get ready.
Breath Bella breath.
I couldn't understand how Edward knew who I was let alone why he was inviting me to his home. I wasn't even sure I was going to go earlier. After he had left the library I sat for a moment trying to compose myself and understand what the hell had happened. Every class I had with him that day he would look at me and smile at me or wink which of course made me blush furiously.
It was when I got home that had made up my mind though, I pulled out my Biology book trying to start the report I had to write and my mind was blank. I couldn't look at the book without feeling sick, so really I didn't have much of a choice. Take him up on his offer to help me or fail miserably? I decided to let him help me.
I looked down at my clothes, they were pretty ordinary, Primark jeans and a plain white top. I had pulled everything out of my wardrobe trying to decide what to wear, which just wasn't me. I didn't usually bother, so why was I now?
I chalked it up to nerves and squirted some Lacoste perfume I had never touched before on my wrist.
What are you doing?
I was acting completely weird. I didn't normally bother with what I wore, and I had bottles of perfume that constantly sat untouched. I took a deep breath to calm myself down before walking out to my truck. I was half way along the road when I realised I had forgotten my bag.
Calm down for god's sake.
I drove back to get my bag and finally I was off again. I made it to Edward's house at seven on the dot. It was a small town so it wasn't hard to know where people lived. I grabbed my bag and made my way up to the huge house knocking on the door. I suddenly felt self conscious. I didn't wait long till Edward himself answered the door.
"Seven on the dot, good timing."
I smiled unsure of what to say.
"You can come in you know, I don't bite."
I laughed nervously and walked in the front door, of course me being me I tripped and went face first to the ground.
"Whoa!" I heard Edward say as his arms caught me. I blushed as he helped me stand.
"I'm sorry, I'm a bit clumsy." I smiled awkwardly. He grinned back only slightly laughing.
"In fact," I carried on, "I know your dad very well, I visit him regularly."
This made him really laugh. His dad was Carlisle Cullen, or Doctor Carlisle Cullen as I knew him.
"Do you want anything to drink?" He asked me after he had stopped laughing. I shook my head not trusting myself to really speak.
"Well then, follow me."
His house was gorgeous, it looked like the type of house you saw in a magazine. I followed him into his bedroom blushing like crazy as he gestured for me to sit on his bed. His room was a navy blue colour, it was dark and mysterious and I felt slightly inadequate being in it.
"Your house is amazing." I complimented him looking at my surroundings in awe.
"Thank you."
"You don't have to be polite you know?" I teased him.
He laughed looking as though he was confused.
Edward Pov
I stared at the girl in front of me in wonder. Had she just tried to tease me? I found it quite funny.
"Let's get down to it then. Do you want to examine my body first or will I examine yours?"
I watched her face turn red as I looked up and down her body. She put her arms around herself as if trying to cover up. I laughed watching her.
"I'll examine yours." she said making my mouth open wide in shock.
"Only if I get to dissect." She finished off. The girl had spunk I gave her that. I laughed making an unappreciative face at her comment.
This bet's going to be easy.
I joined her on the bed laughing as she edged away slightly.
"Do I scare you?" I whispered to her.
"No, erm, no?"
I tilted her chin up making her look me in the eye.
"I don't scare you at all?"
"Erm, no?" She didn't sound very confident and her voice was a little shaky.
"You have gorgeous eyes." I told her staring at the chocolate brown orbs in front of me. She looked utterly speechless as I moved slightly closer to her, our lips weren't far apart.
"Shall we start?" I asked her cocking my head to the side and raising my eyebrow. She nodded her head slowely as if she was unsure.
I moved away getting my Biology book out. I was quite glad Biology was something I was good at or she would have been a little confused as to why I offered her my help. She took her own Biology book out staring at her trainers, obviously avoiding looking at me. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Relax." I told her.
"Let's start doing some work."
