Chapter 4: Physical attraction
EPOV
I got into the car with Jazz, he drove us there in his Volvo C 30. Glad to drive home with him and not with the couple from hell Emmet and Rose. Anything to get away from that bitch was fine by me!
As we drove home I lost focus and started staring outside my window into the snow and couldn't stop thinking about her. How could this be happening, was this some kind of sick joke made by destiny? Apparently Jazz must have been talking to me because the next thing I felt was a bump on my shoulder. Looking up the first thing I saw was his grin.
"What's up with you Jazz, and why the hell did you just bumped me?"
"Edward, you were completely lost and I already asked you 3 times what's up with you and Bella?"
"I don't know Jazz, I like her…." I told him.
If only I knew for myself what was up. I have always believed that fate existed, just never for me. I don't think I have a destiny in life after that bitch. I can't even think of her name anymore.
We drove into our garage, which was almost larger than our house. It fitted 5 cars: My Volvo XC 60, Jazz's Volvo C 30, my dad's Mercedes, Emmet's big jeep and my dad's collector's item, a very beautiful Aston Martin Vanquish. Someday I was going to drive that thing. Probably in my dreams or as my dad would put it: when pigs fly…
I ran inside avoiding all of their looks and rushed upstairs. Turning on my iPod, I found a good playlist with lots of rock on it so it could bang all my thoughts out of my head. Like that I fell asleep and as if I couldn't know there my beauty was again. But this time she had a name. Bella, my beautiful Bella.

I woke up to a beautiful morning. The sun was shining through my curtains and was reflecting the little rainbows it made by shining on the crystal mobile that hanged by my window. I put on some music and pulled on some sweats. Still singing the happy tunes of Newborn by Muse I ran downstairs to fetch some breakfast. I was the first one up so I put on the coffeemaker and slid some bread in the toaster.
Alice came walking downstairs by the time the coffee was done so I gave her a mug.
"Someone is in a good mood today" she said laughing.
I nodded whilst still singing along with my iPod. The song had changed into I will not bow and I remembered mentioned that song yesterday. The man had the same taste in music as I did. I couldn't stop smiling. Alice laughed at me again while shaking her head. My sis knew me through and through.
"Hey Ali, I need to go shopping for a new outfit to wear this evening, would you like to come along?"
She looked at me bewildered.
"You…shopping?" she asked. "You must have gotten it really bad, and you know I will come. I never pass up a shopping trip. Especially not this one, someone needs to help you!"
I just laughed at her. We finished our breakfast and Charlie came downstairs.
"What are you girls up to today," he asked.
"Shopping" Alice yelled excitedly while she put her plate in the sink. "I'll go shower and change and you should do the same Bells. We have a busy day ahead today!"
What have I gotten myself into…?
After I finished getting ready, we drove to Port Angeles. Alice found me the cutest jeans and a beautiful blue lace top. It only showed a bit of cleavage but was see through in some places so I looked stunning.
"He will be blown away!" she shrieked. She found herself a cute black dress and looked amazing in it! We were all set.
When we got home all we had to do was get ready. I put on the outfit she found me and she came darting in my room to fix my hair and make-up. I'm hopeless with those things.
"Bella, you look beauteous!"
God, I love that word! It's so her.
We were ready and waiting a little before 8 o'clock. But although I was expecting him, I still jumped at the sound of the doorbell. When I opened it the world stood still again when I looked in those amazing green eyes. He smiled that crooked smile that I love so much and gave me the single rose he was holding.
"I couldn't resist" he said. He also brought one for Alice. "I know my brother would have loved to give you this himself but I'm acting on his behalf. He also asked me to tell you you are beautiful" She started blushing and mumbling "thank you."
God, that voice. I took my flower and touched his fingers. Electricity was flowing through us again and touched my whole body. It warmed my whole center. He looked at me with the same lustful expression. We definitely need to go now before I drag him upstairs.
What has gotten into me, this isn't me…
"Shall we go?" he asked. "Your carriage awaits you , my ladies." he pointed to his Volvo.
He took my hand and guided me to the car. We almost forgot about Alice, but she only smirked behind me knowing what this was all about.
When we got at Masen's, Alice practically ran inside. She darted over to Jasper and kissed him on the cheek. I smiled at them. She deserves to find someone good for her. I really hope this will become more than friendship.
I felt Edward placing his hand on my lower back directing me to a small table. Suddenly I felt very warm.
"What would you like to drink?" he asked. "White wine please" I said.
He went over to Jasper, he and Alice were still talking, and came back with a wine and a beer.
"So Bella, you are a sophomore in Phoenix. And majoring in English literature? How did you make that choice?" he asked me.
"Well, I have always loved Jane Austen and Shakespeare. You don't want to know how many times I have read and reread those books. So it was a good choice for a major. And I chose Phoenix because it has SUN!" I laughed and he laughed with me. God, I love that sound.
"So tell me more about you, your love for music and your love for tattoos" I told him
"What's there to say," he asked. "I've been playing music ever since I was 4 and it still calms me when I'm nervous. And the tattoos… I like to engrave all the things that are important to me. It's like I'm my own canvas. I get the things on that I never want to forget."
"Would you tell me about them?" I asked him. "Some other time Bella, some aren't that nice…" he said softly looking distant all of a sudden.
I reached for his hand and smiled at him. "It's ok, you don't have to if you don't want to."
By that time they started to play my favorite Nickelback song S.E.X.. "Come on, we are going to dance." I dragged him along.
I started to move to the music, darting around him. All of a sudden I felt his hands on my hips and I couldn't keep my intentions hidden anymore. He looked me lustful in the eyes and the whole world was gone. It was just the 2 of us.
We started grinding up to each other and I felt him pressing into me, hard. Oh god, I need to slow this down, but do I want to? He pulled me even closer and the next thing I felt was his lips touching mine.

This woman can move. It's like my body is acting on its own. I don't know what has gotten into me. All I know is that electricity flows through me whenever I touch her. I started to move closer to her and pulled her to me. Putting my hands on the sides of her face I softly kissed her. It was like kissing heaven. She threw her arm around me and I took her in a tight embrace. The music started to slow down, and we were dancing slowly to the tunes of I dreamed you by Anastacia.
You walked in the room Like the stars need the sky It's hard to explain Like the stars need the sky Our love can't be denied, no no Stars needs sky Like the stars, sky
and time was standin' still
knew you were my destiny
by the way you made me feel
only you in my life
forever and today
you're everything I ever imagined
my love could be
you for me
and the river needs it's rain
like an eagle needs it's wings
and the fire needs it's flames
like the sun needs the day
and the night needs the moon
like the air that I breathe
that's how I...
dreamed of you
I dreamed you
but when you know you know
I was so amazed by you
you had me and: 'hello'
I need you in my heart
my body, mind and soul
it only took a moment to take my breath away
will u stay?
and the river needs it's rain
like an eagle needs it's wings
and the fire needs it's flames
like the sun needs the day
and the night needs the moon
like the air that I breathe
that's how I...
I dreamed of you (and I)
there's nothing I can do, nothing I can say
my heart always knew
that's how I dreamed of you
river needs rain
like an eagle needs it's wings
and the fire needs it's flames
like the sun needs the day, yeah
and the night needs the moon
like the air that I breathe
that's how I need you
river and rain
like an eagle needs it's wings
and the fire needs it's flames
like the sun it needs the day
and the night needs the moon
like the air that I breathe
that's how I need you
like the air that I breathe
that's how I...
dreamed of you
I dreamed of you
yeah
yes I did
oh baby
This song was telling us all we needed to know… This was us it was describing… I couldn't believe it. Bella was feeling the same way, she was smiling at me softly and I kissed her again. It felt so right. Like this was written in the stars for me. I kissed her softly across her jaw and nuzzled against her. She smelled so good. I felt her shiver.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Nothing, it all feels just so right" she smiled at me. And then she took my face in her hands and kissed me deeply. I was falling for this girl…head over heels. And it feels so good…
