A.N/ Hey guys I know I promise that this would be up yesterday but I couldn't get it up because I had a suckish day, if you read both my stories then you already know why but in case you don't I will explain, see my best friend is a guy and I'm a girl so while I was in D.C this rumor was started that I was going out with my best friend and that really pissed off my boyfriend and my best friend so two of the most important people in my world weren't talking to me, stupid I know but none the less I wasn't really in to mood to write so I didn't but now everything is back to normal so I wrote this.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed you all amaze me really you do. Just a warning, this doesn't make sence while you are reading it until the end, that's when Bella explains it all so bare with me and read it.
Last time: "Bella, I think I love you," Edward said. I stared at him in shock. How could he know that so soon, I mean I knew I loved him but that was because I saw it. I couldn't help but wonder if he didn't know what he was talking about. He had only known me one day, how could he know?
"I'm not sure you mean that," I said shyly.
"That's the thing, you see the moment I saw you I couldn't help myself from thinking about you and me in the future, and not exactly the far future. Bella I know I love you. You don't have to say it back, I mean I probably sound like a complete idiot for say it but I do love you," he explained.
"I think I love you too. But I'm not sure, I've only known you a day and already I feel like I've known you a life time," I said. If I were human I know I would have blushed at my confession.
Just after I said that I heard an alarm clock go off. "Now I have to get ready for school, lovely," Edward said.
I laughed, "I guess when you are a teenager for ever you always think like one."
"Not always, just when it comes to school," he explained.
"If you hate it so much why do you go?" I asked.
"What else would I do all day? And it's not that I don't like school, I do. It's just that learning the same thing over and over agian gets rather tedious if you know what I mean," he said.
"No, actually I don't know what you mean. I've only been to high school once so I have let to even finish learning it all the first time," I said honestly.
"It's easier when you are a vampire, you remember anything you read and you can read much faster," he said with a smile, "Plus it means you can spend time with me."
"Oh in that case," I said rolling my eyes.
"You know you are looking forward to it now," he said nudging me lightly.
"No, I don't know that at all either," I said then stuck my tong out at him and ran down the stairs. Alice was sitting on the couch reading a fashion magazine.
"Hey, Bella," she said without looking up.
"Hey," I said back then grabbed my bag off the floor. "May I change in your bathroom?" I asked.
"Sure, what you don't want Edward to see you naked yet?" she asked.
"I never said that. He just so happens to think that his very presents intoxicates me," I said.
"So you do want him to see you naked," she said still not looking up from her magazine.
"I don't want him to I wouldn't care if he did but I don't want him to. Though I would love to see him naked," I said. "Fuck, did I just say that out loud?"
"Yes, you did," this time it wasn't Alice that responded but a velvet voice that could only belong to one person.
"And did you just hear it?" I asked turning around to face Edward.
"Well, since I'm standing right behind you I would guess so, but I would have heard it in Alice's mind anyway," he said then gave me a crocked smile, "So you want to see me naked but you have the guts to say that you aren't excited to spend the day with me at school?"
"Maybe I wasn't talking about you. Maybe I was talking about Jasper," I said the first name that came to mind.
"Bella, I'm the only one allowed to see my husband naked," Alice said finally looking up from her magazine. "Hurry up or you will be late for your first day of school," she said as though the rest of the conversation never happened.
I rolled my eyes then ran to Alice's room and got changed quickly then I ran back down stairs.
"Damn you get ready fast," Alice commented. "And you get ready well, I thought I would have to give you a make over, but I guess not you look HOT!"
"Thanks?" I said more as a question than a reply.
"You do look rather beautiful," Edward said.
"Must you be every where? You are making it hard to talk about to to my friends," I said rolling my eyes at him.
"Well why would you want to do that?" he asked.
"Girls always talk about their crushes to each other duh," Alice chimed in.
"I was under the impression we were more then just a crush Alice," Edward said. "I though Bella was more like my girlfriend, but I guess crush works too."
"I was under the impression it was more then a crush too, so if you don't mind Alice I believe the proper sentence would be that girls always talk about their boyfriends to each other," I said.
"YAY!" Alice shrieked.
"'YAY!' what Alice? I thought you saw this coming?" I asked.
"I did but now its official," she said jumping up and down.
"We should probably head to school, bye Alice," I said as I took Edward's hand and walked outside. "Sorry she was scaring me so I thought we should leave."
"That's alright she was scaring me too," Edward said with a smile. "So we are official, as Alice put it?" he asked.
"I think so. Though I have only known you a day," I said.
"Does it really matter when it comes to destiny?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked as he opened the passenger side door of the Volvo for me.
"Let's just say I'm looking at my destiny from a ways away," he said.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" I asked aggravated.
"You are the one that see destinies not me. You figure it out," he said.
I spent all day trying to figure it out. Did he know? Had Alice spilled the beans and now he knew? Maybe he was trying to get a reaction from me? Maybe he was trying to trick me into telling him? Maybe he made up some thing big and fancy to say to confuse me?
What ever it was I didn't understand it. He knew just what to say to stump me and it drove me insane. I always was one step ahead of everyone else but now it seemed as though I were three steps behind and every time I got one step closer her would run three more steps ahead. Maybe he would always be ahead in the long run, but that meant I could have fun because while he was ahead he didn't know what would go on it the back.
Essentially I could mess up his whole plan because that was all it was, a plan. It was as though we were dancing and he was planing his next step before I complied to the first. He had no way of knowing if I would follow his lead. I could decide to make up my own moves while his back was turned. So all along, when he thought he was getting further ahead really he was putting himself behind.
How fun this could be. All I had to do was play along, let him think he had me caught but really be planing everything on my own accord.
"Bella are you alright? You've been quiet all day," Edward comented as we drove back to his house.
"Just thinking about what you said earlier." It wasn't completely a lie, thinking of what he had said earlier is what caused me to think through everything else.
"Have you figured it out yet?" he asked already knowing the answer.
"Nope, but I have a lot of ideas," I said.
"Like what?" he asked.
"Why would I tell you? Can't you figure it out," I said rolling my eyes.
"I could if I wanted to, but then I would just be going in circles like you now wouldn't I?" he asked smugly.
"You think you are so far ahead of me, planing everything out. Let me tell you, you are not," I said.
"Bella, that made no sense. Ahead of you in what? What are we competing in exactly?" he asked.
"You are trying to out smart me, it will not work, I won't let it," I said coyly.
"Am I that obvious?" he asked rolling his eyes.
"No, I'm that observant," I corrected.
"I won't give up you know," he said.
"Good, because I have no intention of letting you lose," I said smiling sweetly.
"What do you mean letting me lose?" he asked skeptically.
"Here is the thing, you are playing a one player game, I'm just one of the robots at your side that you are trying to defeat, what you don't seem to understand it that this robot is on your side," I tried to explain.
"So you won't let me lose but you won't let me win?" he asked.
"No, I won't let you lose, but I won't help you cheat," I said.
"But you said you were on my side so why won't you help me win?"
"I won't help you win because then I lose," I said.
"You do realize you are talking in riddles right?" he asked.
"I did say you weren't ahead didn't I?" I asked. Then I got out of the car and walked into the house.
"Bella!" he called after me.
"Yes?" I turned around.
"All you did was confuse me, you said you won't let me lose but you won't let me win and you are trying to cheat by confuseing me and I still have no idea what game we are playing," he said.
If I was being honest I was completely sure what game I had just gotten myself into. I was in the middle of the game of life, literally. I couldn't tell him his destiny, that would be the cheating. But, I couldn't let him lose and not find his destiny, but then I would lose too. However, I can't let him win by defeating me and letting him know his destiny, because that goes against all my morals and I would lose the fight we were having. But this game was his not mine, for what ever reason I just showed up at a bad part of the game. And by not cheating I was cheating because I still was helping him see where everything stood. I had already figured out the whole riddle while he, who was supposed to be ahead, had no idea.
The only part he seemed to be ahead in was the fact that he knew how defeat me and what he didn't see was that then ultimitly he would lose the whole game.
Life is more confusing than anyone understands. I wish that instead of being changed I had died because then I wouldn't be in this place right now. But that too would have been cheating. Sometimes living is harder then dieing.
A.N/ Okay so there you have it! See what I mean with it doesn't make sense until the end? Well I'm so sorry for the long wait I know you must all hate me but I promise I'm going to be updating much more regularly now that I'm home. Please don't hate me! And I'm sure I lost readers but that's alright I hope who ever is reading this enjoys it! Please review, they make me happy. Thank in advanced!
