Chapter 4: Coffee
September 7, 2006
We went to high school together.
Those were the first words I said to her, when we bumped into each other. She was ordering something ahead of me. I was tired. I was cranky. I was late. Everything annoyed me. She annoyed me. She couldn't decide what she wanted and I was getting angrier and angrier.
My professor would have my ass. I debated skipping coffee. Then her order was placed in front of her and she turned to go. She ran right into me. Her (thankfully) ice coffee spilling all over my white shirt.
"Fuck!" I hissed. She blushed. Apologizes sputtered from her lips in such a frenzy, I couldn't understand her. She grabbed a napkin and dabbed at my wet shirt. It was too late for that. It wouldn't help. I grabbed her wrist to stop her.
She looked up and she froze. Her hand stopped moving, her blush faded and she stared at me. I stared back, because for a moment I remembered those brown eyes. I hadn't seen them in well over a year. But I remembered.
"Don't I know you," she said, tilting her head. I laughed because this was such an odd moment to reunite.
"We went to high school together," I reminded her and her eyes brightened.
"Edward Cullen," she said, as though my name explained everything. I nodded once.
That was all it took.
So obviously Bella has a past. She can't tell it to us cause she doesn't remember. That's where Edward comes in. He'll come throughout the story to tell what exactly went on before Bella lost her memory.
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer. Just let me know.
Don't forget to share your thoughts.
