I didn't hear the car pulling up, but next thing I knew Edward was running towards me "Bella are you okay?"
where could he have gone? what was Jake talking about, "we cant be friends" what's wrong with Jake?
"Bella!!" Edward growled. That snapped me out of it.
"oh um hey"
"Bella what was Jake doing here?"
how long was Edward standing there? was he there the whole time? " he needed to talk to me."
"what about?"
"he said we..we..can't be friends" I nearly cried.
"every things going to be alright Bella. you'll see. now lets get you to school and take your mind off of things"
"ok" I whispered.
"want to drive?" Edward asked me
"no you can" I saw his face light up he must really like the car. I didn't pay much attention to the car. but when we got to school all eyes were on the car
"every one is looking ya' know" "no not-wait you're right every one is looking" we parked in his usual spot. he got out and walked at human speed to my side and than the door. I got out ant could hear the whispers
"is that-"
"wow"
"I thought it was just a myth"
"mafia?"
I was so confused. I couldn't wait to get to class with Edward so I can ask him about the whispers.
"hey Bella! happy birthday!"
"thanks mike" I halfheartedly said.
"so can I ask you something?" he said shyly.
wow even though I'm clearly with Edward and have been for months now he still tries, its nice and yet I feel bad for him.
"shoot"
"well I saw you and Edward pull up and i was wondering. did Edward get a new car?"
"no, um he actually gave that to me, it's my birthday present" when I said that his face was in awe.
"so Edward Cullen gave you a Ferrari for your 18th birthday?!" I could tell he was shocked.
"yeah, my truck sort of broke. it wont turn on any more, Edward says its useless to take it to get looked at. that its un fixable" well that's sorta what he told me.
"wow!!" just then the bell rang.
"well I gotta go. I'll see ya later."
"bye mike" Later I was walking out of the school when I was ambushed by
Jessica and Lauren.
"Hey Bella!" Jessica said as Lauren fallowed silently.
"Hey Jessica, Lauren"
"Happy Birthday Bella, so what did Edward get you? I bet it was something expensive, or so amazingly unbelievable"
"Oh well I-"
"Oh and I love his new car by the way, I didn't know he had THAT kind of money!"
"Oh well umm, that's actually his present to me"
"He got you a car?!" she looked shocked!
"yeah, my truck finally died." I walked away leaving Jessica and Lauren with their jaws dropped to the floor. saw Edward leaning against my new car talking to Mike, Eric, Ben, and Tyler.
"Hey" They guys looked at me smiled said hey and went straight back into admiring my new car
"alright we'll see you guys tomorrow" I heard Edward say "lets go" he looked at me and handed me the keys
"Edward can u tell me more about this car?"
"yes, only if you drive it. I want you to get the feel of it"
"okay" we got in and I turned it on, half expecting a loud roar like what my truck used to make. but instead it was a low purr. "okay now tell me every thing there is to know about this car, all i know is that it's a Ferrari" I asked and he could be in my face I was confused.
"okay" He said as he smiled my favorite half smile.
We pulled up to the house, Charlie was still at work. We walked in and Edward was still talking about the car. He was really happy, and the car didn't limit me to 55mph that's good. We walked into the kitchen so we can do our home work. It looked exactly how I left it this morning, with Renee's gift still un opened.
"shoot" I said to my self. Edward looked at me worried.
"what's wrong?" he asked anxiously.
"With every thing that happened this morning I forgot to open my moms gift she sent me." I pointed at the white box on the table. He grabbed it and handed it to me.
"Here, open it now" I took it and set it right back down on the table it was sort of heavy
"Wow this is heavy what did she get me?"
"Sorry I didn't notice"
"It's okay," he smiled, my smile. I opened the box and the first thing I see is a card. I opened it and read aloud "happy birthday Bella-" As if I needed another reminder. That's the 8th time today.. Give or take a few "- We hope today brings you joy. You are now an adult. Enjoy the gifts we got you. Be good. We love you, mom and Phil." I set the card on the table to look at the gifts guessing there is more then one.. I giggled to myself
"What?" Edward was confused on what I was laughing at
"Oh nothing I just miss my mom and Phil that's all"
"Oh, don't worry, you'll see them soon" he smiled again. the first thing I pull out of the box is a ****************** dress it was beautiful, something Alice would have picked out for me. And it's Edwards favorite color. I smiled and set it down but he grabbed it and held it up to me to visualize me in it.
"It's beautiful huh"
"Nothing compared to the girl who's going to wear it tonight"
We both smiled. He kissed me his cool hard lips pressed against mine. His sweet breathe made me dizzy but I didn't want to pull away. I put my hands around his neck. He didn't seem to mind. In fact I think he liked it. He put his hand in the small of my back and pulled me closer to him. I pulled my self up more and he turned us around so I was sitting on the table. I traced my tongue onto his cool marble like lips. Suddenly he was pulling me off of him
"Now now Bella, lets be mature about this. And not go to far. I'm not sure how much I can handle yet." I was defeated. There is no way he would budge on this so I gave up. I looked in the box and found a camera. And a few other items like body spray and some clothes.
"I'm going to change for the party"
"Ok" I went to my room and set the box down on the floor. I put the dress on and fixed my hair so Alice wouldn't say anything to me about it.
"Ready"
"You look beautiful, as always" I felt my face heat up, mostly my cheeks. I was blushing.
"I could say the same for you" he had changed into a pair of dark jeans with a dark blue dress shirt, that coordinated with my dress nicely. He smiled a big grin. And we headed out the door.
"I'll drive." He said before I could grab the keys out of his hands. We pulled out and headed towards the Cullen house. When the drive seemed to take longer then usual,
I started looking for the drive way. When I saw it Edward just kept going.
"Know I know I sometimes have a hard time finding the drive way but wasn't that it back there?"
"Yeah that was it."
"I thought we were going to the house."
"We are, our house." When he said 'our' house I was still a bit shocked.
"Oh.. Right. I kinda forgot about that." he just shook his head and laughed. I stared out the windshield and blushed, my face was burning up. I hoped that he hadn't noticed I was thankful it was dark out. After a few minutes of Edwards driving, I realized the road we were on was vaguely familiar. But I couldn't place it. I was just about to ask how far away we were from the house when he slowed down and pulled into what looked like a newly cleared path. Another minute passed and I could see lights though the trees. I figured they were lights from the windows, to mine and Edwards home, our home. I got chills. Pulling out onto the front lawn, I was glad Edward couldn't read my thoughts because I was freaking out. ' Its real, he wasn't kidding, it's beautiful, what did he mean by try it out, what would we try out? Maybe try to change me, I could live with that'
"We're here" his voice snapped me out of it. He parked the car turned it off and ran out before I could turn my head; he was at my door. "Let's go in, they're waiting" I smiled. and we headed to the door.
