Starlight Crossings
Chapter 4: Drive
"Arielle, Kayla, I need your help!" Bella barged into their rooms at five in the morning, "I need something to wear."
"You have a closet full of clothes," pointed out Arielle.
"Yes, but I need something nicer."
"We've been trying to tell you that ever since you were a newborn," said Arielle.
"Quit teasing her Arielle," said Kayla who was already rifling through her closet, "I'll find you something Bella."
"So, why all of a sudden are you so interested in having nicer clothes?" asked Arielle casually, "Have someone to impress?"
"Nobody!" said Bella quickly, "Is it a crime to want to look nice?"
"Woah, someone's defensive!" sang Arielle, "Hey, Kayla, you know what a lil' birdie told me?"
"What?" asked Kayla, playing along.
"Bella isn't riding with us to school today!"
"Why not?" asked Kyle, entering the room. Arielle danced up to him and gave him a quick kiss.
"She was asked to ride with… drumroll please…. Edward Cullen!" Kayla, Kyle, and Arielle burst into laughter. Bella groaned and fell back on the bed.
"I think she likes him," stage whispered Arielle.
Kyle laughed, and Bella threw a pillow at him. She reached behind her and pulled over another pillow, throwing it at Arielle.
"Alright Bella," said Kayla, emerging from the closet, "Stop throwing pillows. Wear these, and I'll do your hair." She tossed a pair of clothes at Bella, who slipped into the bathroom to change.
"Do you think Bella will finally get a mate?" asked Kyle.
"After what Alice told me, yes, I think so," said Kayla.
"I can hear you, you know," Bella called from the bathroom.
"Don't care," responded Arielle.
"Good," said Kyle in response to his twin, "She's been alone ever since she was a newborn. I thought she and Riley would get together but… apparently not."
"She and Riley were not for each other," declared Arielle, "Edward however, is absolutely perfect."
Bella emerged in a chocolate brown v- neck sweater with a white cami underneath, and khaki colored flare cargos.
"Well?" she spun around, "How does it look?"
"Nice," said Kyle appreciatively. Arielle smacked him on the head.
"Hair, Bella," said Kayla, dragging her back into the bathroom, "I think we'll just leave your hair as it is," she said as she ran a brush through it, "Since he seems to like brushing your hair back, we'll give him more opportunities to do it."
"How do you know that?" asked Bella in shock.
"I have my ways," said Kayla, "and Alice, of course." She smirked.
"Sure," said Bella resignedly, as Kayla lifted her hand and brought a pair of dangling earrings floating to them. Bella put them on.
"You look awesome!" said Kayla happily, "You should let me choose your clothes more often."
"I guess I'll be doing that a lot now huh?" said Bella. The doorbell rang. Bella looked at the clock, "It's seven thirty. Its probably him."
"It is," confirmed Kayla, "Go ahead girl, knock him over!"
"Yeah. See you Kayla. Thanks for the help!"
Bella ran out of the room, pausing at the top of the stairs.
"'Morning!" she said brightly, as she ran down. Edward's mouth dropped open slightly.
"Hey," he said, "… You look nice"
"Thank you," said Bella, "So do you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," said Kyle, who had let Edward in and was watching this whole scene, "You two sound like you're going on a date. Now you listen," he said to Edward, "Bells here is my little sister. You better not hurt her, or I'll—"
"—Kyle," interrupted Arielle, hugging him from behind, "Do you remember what Anthony told you when you started dating me?"
"Yes," mumbled Kyle.
"And do you remember how terrified you were?"
"How could I forget?" laughed Kyle, "He made me forget I was indestructible."
"Exactly," cooed Arielle, "Now leave Edward and Bella alone, and save the big brother talk when they go on their first date, okay?"
"Wait," said Bella, "Who said we were going on our first date?"
"Well," said Arielle innocently, "I imagine that Edward is planning to ask you soon, aren't you Edward?" Edward looked at the floor. "Anyway, you guys will be late for school if you don't hurry up."
"Yeah," said Edward, looking up at Bella, "Shall we go?"
"Sure," said Bella, reaching for his hand and entwining her fingers with his and pulling him out the door.
"They make a very cute couple," said Edward, as he held open the door for her.
"Yes, I know. I bet your brothers and sisters are the same way."
"Oh yeah. Of course, I get to see all their romantic moments, thanks to my power," Edward backed out of the driveway, suddenly pressing on the accelerator and shooting forward.
"Woah," said Bella.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing. Go faster."
"Like the speed?"
"Absolutely. Do you like running?"
"Yes. Very exhilarating."
"Totally agree. What's your favorite to hunt?"
"Mountain lion."
"Favorite place to hunt?"
"Anywhere with mountain lions, of course. Large ones." Edward grinned at her.
Bella laid her head back on the seat, "Hmmm… what's your favorite car music?"
Edward switched the CD player on. The opening notes of Claire de Lune resounded through the car, "Debussy," he entered school property and pulled into a parking space, turning off the car and opening her door at vampire speed. Bella stepped out and he closed the door behind her.
"Century old vampire" she teased.
He gave her a crooked grin, grasping her wrist and gently pinning her against the car. His golden eyes smoldered and Bella's eyes fogged over.
"Now, now, you aren't going around calling me old are you?" he asked, his breath fanning over her face.
"No" she said softly. He laughed, pulling back and tangling his fingers with hers. The bell rang.
"I'll see you at lunch," said Bella, leaning up to kiss his cheek, "Thanks for the ride." She began walking to her class, turning to smile at him, leaving him staring after her.
XXXXX
AN: Alright, I was going to make this longer, but I thought it ended better here, if you know what I mean. Well, Edward's lost some of his shyness. It'll be a few more chapters before they get together though, I think. I'm going to try and make a complication. Hope you liked, there will be more of the Cullens in the next chapter! Thank you for all the lovely reviews, they inspire me to update! So review!
