Review, alright? It's not good at first but tell me if you think I should continue.
Thanks, thanks, thanks.

"Cullen? You mean like, C-U-L-L-E-N, right?" I asked him. Oh no. This cannot be good.
"Yes, that's right," he said. He was wearing the same shocked expression as I am and he was walking towards me. What startled me the most was the fact that I saw his hand reaching for mine.
I took it with my hands as a sign of my manners. He lowered his head and lifted our hands a little to kiss it. I blushed, of course, and quickly took back my hands before I do something really, really stupid.
"So, um, Cullen, right?" I asked again and he nodded. I continued, of course, "So, do you know Alice Cullen?"
He understood me now. "Oh, you mean Alice? Yeah, she's my cousin," he said with a smile on his face. Oh men, Alice is right. He was hot. Wait. What?! No! He's obnoxious.
"Really? Huh. She's, well, she's kind of my best friend," I told him.
"Oh, so you're Bella? She actually hasn't shut up about you ever since she heard the news that I was coming back," he stated.
"Really? Oh, um, that's . . . great, I think. Anyway, you don't mind me leaving you, right?" I asked. I really should get away from here right now. Alice has a lot of explaining to do.
"Leave? But we just met," he objected. Then he grabbed my arm.
"Yeah. Okay, this is going to sound harsh, but I don't waste my time with self-centered jerks," I hissed at him and took my arm back.
He froze for good five seconds and I left him like that. I went to my car and put my phone out. I texted Alice:
Alice, meet me in Starbucks. Now. Love, B.
I was about to drive away when a figure blocked my path. I got out of the car and slammed the door shut. I walked towards Edward.
"What is your problem? Are you trying to kill yourself? Because if you are, I happen to know a few tricks. I can even do it my—" I stopped yelling only because I saw him pull out a pocket knife and placed it across his wrist. He looked at me for a second and then tightened his grip on the knife.
"Holy cow!" I screamed. "I was just kidding. Geez, get a grip, man," I said while taking his hand away from the knife.
He looked at me for a second more and then sighed. He put the pocket knife away and so I returned his hand back.
"Seriously, what were you thinking?" I asked more serious now.
"Nothing, actually," he replied and then smiled a crooked grin at me. Boy, he really knows how to take a girl's breath away.
I had to look away, of course. Distractions! I screamed in my head. I need distractions! And then my phone vibrated as if to back me up. Thanks goodness. It was a text message from Alice saying:
'Kay. Be there in ten minutes. Love lots, Al.
I turned around to face him again only to find his face inches away from mine. Our bodies were pinned together in front of my car. I blinked a lot of time before he spoke again.
"Going somewhere?" he asked.
I nodded and gave him a more coherent answer, "I'm going to meet your cousin, actually, so I better get going."
"Hmm, maybe I should come with you. I want to surprise her, anyway," he offered.
I sighed and said,"Fine. But we'll take my car."
"I wouldn't be much of a gentleman if I agreed to that, now would I?" he asked. Oh geez please let this nightmare end already.
"Fine," I said stubbornly.
"Then let's go," he said. He put a hand on my waist and walked me towards the silver Volvo I believe his car was. Then he opened the passenger door and pushed me in.
He drove like a maniac! We were going for 120kph and he's still acting normal. Not that I cared if he's driving too fast, what I cared about was that he was looking at me and not the road.
"What are you doing? Look ahead, not at me," I screamed at him.
He only laughed and slowed down a little. Then he said, "Wow, Alice knows how to pick a girlfriend very well. You're very pretty."
"Stop complimenting because I won't take it from someone like you," I said.
"Wow, that's kind of harsh, don't you think?" he asked jokingly.
"I don't think it is. Because I believe that was my compliment to you," I spit the words at him. Okay, I know I'm going overboard with this but I don't like rich guys.
"Okay, then. Thanks," he said. What? Is he crazy? I was joking when I said that was a compliment to him. He is definitely one crazy guy.
But before I could object, he spoke, "We're here. Come on."
I opened the door and I saw him reaching his hands on mine. Whoa. He is one fast guy, too. I didn't see him standing there. Anyway, I took his hand and got out of the car. Just then, I heard a sound of a familiar girl.
"Oh my gosh, are you guys dating already?" Alice asked.
We both turned our heads in her direction and all I could think was: Shoot me, now!

Tell me what you think, 'kay? THANKS AGAIN!
