BELLA'S POV
We all jumped into separate cars. Em and Rose were in his Jeep. Alice and Jasper stayed in her Porsche. Which left Edward and I in his silver Volvo. I looked up at him, "How did you get this? You came here on a plane." He laughed music to my ears, "Emmett got this for me, along with Rosalie. I love it, don't you?" His emerald eyes were smoldering me, they were so beautiful. He took my feeble hand into his own and we walked over to the car. Alice and Jasper beeped in their car, and they left. Rose and Emmett soon followed. I sat in the front seat, while Edward rummage through a pile of CD's he had in there. I helped him, since there were so many to choose from. I pulled out a 30 Seconds to Mars CD, "I really love them," I smiled, hoping that he would pick it. He laughed and put it in. The first song was "The Kill" which is one of my favorites by them. I began to sing along, totally forgetting that Edward was in the car.
What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
Edward was listening to me now. I could feel it. Still, I tried my best to tune him out and continue.
What if I fell to the floor?
Couldn't take this any more
What would you do?
With one hands on the steering wheel, Edward lifted his other hand and intertwined it with my own. He gave it the slightest squeeze, urging me to go on.
Come break me down!
Bury me, bury me!
I am finished with you!
What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
By a strange surprise, Edward began to sing a long with me. His velvety voice put mine to shame. But as we sang together, I felt my voice growing stronger.
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you
Come break me down!
Bury me, bury me!
I am finished with you!
Look in my eyes!
You're killing me, killing me!
All I wanted was you!
On the last sentence, Edward looked right at me. I looked back at him, then turned away to continue with him.
I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside!
Finally found myself! Fighting for a chance I know now,
THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM!
Edward! That bastard! He stopped singing and made me do the solo alone! I looked at him during the next part, which were 'Ooh's and Aah's'. He looked at me, with a dazzling smile on his face. I blushed furiously and he laughed. I continued to sing at the next part, a little softer. But I hoped it would calm me down from my big solo.
Come break me down!
Bury me, bury me!
I am finished with you!
(You! You! You!)
Look in my eyes!
You're killing me, killing me!
All I wanted was you!
Come break me down!
Break me down, break me down!
What if I wanted to break?
He joined back in this time.
I whispered the last line and looked up at Edwards face. He was glorious. His auburn hair was blowing in the wind, due to the open window. He has a sheet of sweat on him, which made him look even sexier. His green eyes were sparkling. And his chest was amazing. Thank god he decided not to wear a shirt. It should be a crime for that boy to wear one. His chest was so toned and well built, like a Greek God. I couldn't help myself from ogling. But, it was as if he sensed it, and he looked at me. I blushed a crimson shade of red and turned my head.
He chuckled, and then began to ask me a million or more questions about my life. He asked about my childhood, my family, my close friends, pets, birthdays, and such. And whenever I answered, he seemed so absorbed into it. It was as if he really cared and wanted to know. Sometimes, I would re-ask the question to him. He would always answer me. I paid as much attention as possible, so I could learn more about this perfect man. Then, the last question he asked me made me really think, "So Bella, how many boyfriends have you had?"
I stuttered, "Uh, none. I never really liked anyone." I bent my head down, it was so embarrassing. He chuckled, "Same here. No girl every really captured my interest." I gasped. He never had a girlfriend?! This amazing, god like figure never had a girlfriend!? I was in total shock, it was just unbelievable. He looked at me, "What?" I giggled, "It just seems so unrealistic. I mean, you are just so…" I stopped myself, I didn't want to look like a fool. I bit my lip and held it in. He looked at me, "Well…you are too…" He flushed, a cute shade of baby doll pink. I blushed even more.
Before we could finish, we arrived at the parking lot of the beach. I sighed and unbuckled myself. Edward was already out and at my door, opening it for me. I smiled and stepped out. Alice, and all her bounciness, greeted us. Jasper followed behind. I still don't understand how he could love Alice. He was usually so cool and calm. Alice was the definition of hyper. If you look it up in the dictionary, you see a picture of her and all her wonder. I laughed, "Hey you two, are Emmett and Rosalie here yet?" And speak of the devil, I saw Rose and all her beauty come up to the Volvo, and she was tugging Emmett the brute along with her. "Here we are," She said in her bell like voice.
Alice was bouncing in her spot, "Come on! Time to hit the water!" She grabbed my hand and Rosalie's and practically dragged us down to the beach. We walked on the stone steps to the sandy, tan beach. Not many people were around today. I sighed in relief, I didn't like massive crowds of people. Alice had a little basket in her arms that I didn't even notice. She pulled out a large basket from it and picked us a nice spot on the beach. The boys were still up near the cars, so I figured I should get comfy. I pulled off the cover up that Alice and let me borrow, and revealed myself to the public. Rosalie whistled and Alice clapped her little hands. I sighed and laid myself on the blanket.
The guys finally made their way down. Emmett was carrying a cooler, Edward had the umbrella, and Jasper had a few camping chairs. I looked up and saw Edward sticking the umbrella into the ground. Then, he stopped and looked at me and my half naked body. He was ogling me! I blushed, and he smiled, "Bella, you look simply divine," He bent down and kissed my cheek. I smiled and looked through her basket of goodies. I saw my copy of Pride and Prejudice in there. Bless her heart, she has only known me for such a short time, and yet she knew about my book. I looked up and saw that she was in the water already and was climbing up Jaspers back.
I screamed, "Thanks, Alice!" She waved and I continued to look inside. There was an extra pair of sunglasses. I saw that Alice and Rose had theirs one, so I only assumed these were for me. I put them on and began to read. Edward sat next to me, pulling my attention from the book to his beautiful face. "Bella, you should go swim." I shook my head, "I can't swim that well," He bent his head closer, and his scent filled my head. "Why don't you swim with me then? I won't let anything happen to you." I shook my head, to disagree and get his scent out of my nostrils, "Uh, no thanks. I didn't even put on sun lotion. I'll burn." He laughed, "Then let me take care of that for you," He reached over my legs into Alice's basket and grabbed the lotion. He poured some into his hands. He lifted my arms and began to rub it in. He kept working his way down until he got to my tummy. He rubbed it in circles, slow and somewhat sensual. He kept working down until he got to my thighs. He rubbed it in my inner thigh. I couldn't help but let a little moan escape my lips. He smirked and kept going down my legs. After he finished them, he kissed my ankle and turned his body to my back. He squirted some more lotion into his hands and rubbed down my back and on my shoulders. He then turned and put some on my face. He smiled, then looked at me, "There, you're ready to go. Shall we swim, my love?"
My love? Did he just call me that? I nodded my head, too lost in his presence to give a coherent answer. He took my hand and guided me to the water. I put my sunglasses on top of my head and got in with him. The water was a nice room temperature. I went in more and more. Edward was in front of me, still holding my hand. When we got to my waist, I stopped. He smirked, and dove into the deeper water. I squinted my eyes, and tried to see his pale body shine under the water. I felt two hands feel up my back legs. I shrieked and turned to see Edward come up to the surface. He was laughing and I just stood there. I smacked him in the arm and walked into the deeper water. He was still laughing while he followed me. At the point when my breasts were divulged in the water I turned back to him, "I didn't think that was funny! I was going to kick you!" I was going to, because some creep could have been feeling me up. Unexpectedly, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, "I'm sorry Bella, but you have to admit, that squeak of yours was adorable." He smiled and I flushed. I had always said my squeak sounded like a mouse.
I began to swim around and ended up playing water volleyball with everyone. It was 3 on 3. Emmett, Edward and I were one team and Alice, Jasper and Rose were on the other. We were tied near the end of the game. The ball was coming my way, and I realized I was too short to make a spike. Edward came behind and put his hands on my waist and lifted me up a bit, so I could spike it in and win! My body was tingling; not only from victory, but that Edward's hands were so low on my body. They were so close to my ass. I flushed and he kissed my cheek, "Good job, love." I smiled, then began to think again. He called me 'Love' again. I knew that Edward had said he liked me, but he wanted to take it slow. I didn't mind taking it slow. It gave us a better chance to get to know each other, and I would do anything for this sexy boy.
We got out of the water and decided to chill around the beach. The guys played football, and we girls stayed on the blanket. Alice had on her iPod, Rosalie was painting her nails a blood red color and I was reading. But occasionally, I looked up to see Edward play. He was so incredibly hot, that it was hard not to stare. Alice caught me and giggled, "You know Bella, it's so obvious that you two really like each other, why not take it further?" I sighed, "Alice, I don't want to rush it, you know? Yeah, I really do like Edward, but I don't want to scare him away with a sudden declaration. I mean, he told me he likes me, and I like him too. But we don't want to speed it up. We are taking our time to get to know each other. And I'm happy with that," I smiled a fake smile. Yes, I was happy to take it slow. But what I really wanted was to feel Edward's lips pressed onto mine. I wanted to feel his hands all over my body…I shook my head, that was too much to think about. But, it would be so hot to think about. Rose laughed, "Bella, time is for chumps. Just take it further. It's not so bad. Or, if anything, you should flirt more. Maybe that would speed things up." I nodded my head in agreement. I had tried flirting with him, bit I didn't think it was going so well. Alice smiled, "Bells, you can do it. Just be confident!" She laughed and I sighed, "I dunno Alice, I can try…" "That's the spirit! Just come out of your comfort zone and you'll be good," I understood what she meant. She wanted me to go into uncharted waters. I sighed again, and slumped my head on my knees and continued to watch them play.
After a little while longer, it was getting dark. So, we all got ready and back into our destined cars. Edward opened the door for me and I sat in. He soon followed. I took his hand quickly and he smiled. We sped off into the night and on our way home. He continued his quizzing of my life, and vice-versa. I asked questions that he didn't ask, which in turn, made him re-ask the question to me. But sometimes, I would make hidden innuendos in my answers, just to catch him off guard. I giggled whenever I see him stop breathing for a second. We arrived home sooner then I had hoped. Edward opened the door for me and walked me inside to my dorm. We were the first ones there, by a long shot. I didn't want to be rude, "Want to come to my dorm?" He nodded and smiled. I opened the door and stepped inside. I felt dirty from all the sand and water. I looked up at Edward, "I'm gonna go take a shower," He nodded and I took a chance to be extra flirty. I moved closer to him and stood on my tip toes. I put my lips to his ear, "Aww Edward, don't you want to come with me?" His breathing hitched. I smirked and bit his ear and walked off to my room to grab clothes. I grabbed a pair of short shorts and a tank top and walked back outside. He was sitting down at the table, with his legs crossed.
I winked at him and went into the bathroom. I turned on the water and put it a little bit colder then usual. After what I just did, I kind of needed it. I stepped in and rinsed off my body of all of the grime from the beach. I used my strawberry shampoo and washed out my hair. I went back outside to see Edward on the couch, flipping through the channels. I went to go sit over on the couch with him. I snuggled close to his side and let my arm drape around his stomach. He moved in closer to me, his fingers making small circles on my arms. I was content in this position. He looked down at me, "So, what are you doing tomorrow?" I shook my head, "Nothing, really. Why?" He shifted his body so I could look up at him and not the T.V, "I was wondering if you'd like to spend the day with me?" I was in shock. Was Edward Cullen asking me out? He bent his head closer to me, totally stopping me from thinking about a coherent answer. I nodded my head, "Sure, that sounds nice."
He smiled, and flashed his teeth at him. Then, everything happened so quickly. He moved his head to the side and moved closer and closer to me. I couldn't breathe or think. Then, his soft lips were pressed onto mine. I entangled my fingers into his hair and clutched him closer to me. His tongue licked my bottom lip, asking for entrance. How could I refuse? I let him in and he dominated. He tasted every inch of my mouth that I couldn't help but moan just a bit. I wanted power this time, so I started to suck on his lower lip, causing a delicious moan to escape from his throat. I moved my hands lower and lower down his chest…
BANG!
The door scared the crap out of us. I pulled away to see Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper at the door, staring at us. A heat wave of blood hit my face and Edward looked down. The guys gave him thumbs up and Alice and Rose giggled. I got up, "I'm gonna go to bed," Edward got up and walked me to the door to my room. He smiled, "See you tomorrow, Bella." He kissed my cheek and opened the door for me. I walked in and smiled at him, then closed the door. I flopped on my bed and squeaked. I just seriously kissed Edward Cullen. It was my first kiss, and it was so amazing. I closed my eyes and let images of Edward fill my head. Today was a good day, but tomorrow would be so much better.
