When I Looked Into Your Eyes

Utterly Beautiful…

EPOV

I couldn't stop myself. When I saw her today, I immediately fell for her. I wouldn't admit it to Alice, at least not yet. There is no doubt she would tell her, I could see it in her mind. There was no I would give her even a shred of hope.

Bella Swan. She was beautiful. She had the deepest brown eyes I had ever seen, and gorgeous, long brown hair. I had met her this morning, very briefly, in Alice's apartment, and then again this afternoon, at the bookstore. She worked there. When I asked her which book she recommended, between Macbeth and Hamlet, she said Hamlet. It was amazing because Hamlet was my second favorite. The first, of course, being Romeo & Juliet.

I wanted to hear her voice again, so I told her I was lost. She probably thought I was crazy. It's really hard to get lost in that bookstore unless you were a small child, though it still was quite large. Still, I needed a reason to hear her voice. The feel of her skin when I caught her was…gratifying. I never wanted to let her go. I needed to get my mind off of her, for all I knew, she could've hated me.

"Edward!" Tanya said, surprised. "I thought you had a day off today."

"I do. I just need to get my mind off a few things. What better way to do that then work?" She giggled at that, leaving me confused.

"So, uh…do you want to go out for dinner or something tonight?" Oh no! Not Tanya too!

"Tanya, I-"

"It'd be just as friends, if you want."

"It's very tempting, Tanya, but I have a get together with a few friends tonight, so, um…" I left my sentence hanging, hoping she would understand.

"Oh! Um, okay. That's fine, maybe another time then."

"Yeah, maybe."

"Well…I better get back to work." She said, after moments of awkward silence.

"Yeah, you should. I'll see you later."

"Bye, Edward!" she left me in my office, leaving me thinking.

I worked in a law firm, but I was studying to become a doctor. Just like my father, Carlisle Cullen. My office here was pretty plain, except my photo frame held no photo. How I would love to have a picture of Bella in there. I thought to myself. A knock on the door disturbed my thoughts.

"Come in!" I called.

"Hey, Edward!" Oh goodie! Lauren. Just the person I needed to get my thoughts off Bella.

"Lauren. Hey! Come in. Close the door!"

"Looking for a make out session?" Not really, just need a distraction from Bella. Oh, by the way! You look like a whore.

"Hah! Yes, just what I need." I lied.

"Me too, baby!" she said, tracing her breast with her finger. Was she trying to look sexy, because it wasn't working too well? She came over, about to kiss me. Suddenly, Bella came back into my thoughts. I can't do this to her! We might have a shot together if she feels the same way!

"Actually, Lauren, I have to get going." I said, glancing towards the clock. Wow! Three and a half hours have passed already?

"Aww! Stay just a few minutes? That's all I need!" she begged, kissing my lips. Yuck! I'm going to need mouthwash when I get back to Alice and Bella's!

"No. I really have to go meet my sister." In two and a half hours…

"Okay then. We'll finish this later." Lauren said, winking at me as she left the room. Now I had to think of something else to do.

I made my way to the silver Volvo, ignoring the girls flashing smiles directed at me. Mom and dad had been begging me to visit them, so I decided that was where I was going. The drive was 45 minutes, so that killed about two hours of my time.

"Hey, mom! Hi, dad."

"Edward! What a surprise! Come in!" I stepped into the million dollar estate.

"What brings you here, darling?" My mother, Esme, asked.

"I needed to clear my head and I thought 'Hey! Why not go see mom and dad!'." I processed that for a moment. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"Oh no, no! We always have time for our children, Edward." My dad said. "Are you okay? You seem a little distracted."

"I, uh…" Just tell them the truth. ", well, I met a girl. But for goodness sake, do not tell Alice! Anyways, this girl is stuck in my head, and I only met her today. I don't really know what's wrong with me, but it feels like she stole my heart, and right now it's an empty hole without her."

"Talk to her about it! Or are you nervous?" My mother asked. She always wanted the best for me.

"I'm a bit nervous…but I don't think she feels the same way."

"Edward, honey, just give her time to get to know you! I'm sure she'll like you; I wouldn't be surprised if she already did. What's her name, anyways?"

"Bella, Bella Swan."

"Alice's roommate?"

"Yeah, do you know her?" I asked, curious and wondering if she would tell her.

"No, but Alice has told us about her."

"Oh. Speaking of Alice, I have to get back there." I said, standing up. "Um…I'll call you later, okay?"

"Alright. It was nice seeing you!"

"You too! Bye!"

"Bye, Edward." They both said, mom hugging me.

The ride to Alice's was longer than before. It might have been because I was anticipating Bella though. Her scent was all I smelled. I couldn't wait to see her, and I was incredibly nervous. That was weird, because I never got nervous when it came to girls. Then again, she's the only girl I've met that has shown resistance. I stepped into the loft then, only to find Alice cornered by some guy.

"Eddie!" she called to me, hugging me after. Eddie? She's never called me that!

"Oh! Wow! Hi, Alice!"

"Excuse my rudeness! Edward, Bella, this is Jasper, Rosalie's brother." Ah. Emmett's friends with him, so he shouldn't be too bad. "Jasper, this is Edward, my brother, and Bella, my roommate." He stuck his hand out for me to shake. Very gentlemen like.

"Nice to meet you." He said.

"You too." I shook his hand, and my eyes made their way to Bella. She blushed as I met her gaze. She looks so adorable! Bella was wearing a silk red dress, which brought out her eyes, and her hair was up, but had a few curled pieces left down. Utterly beautiful… Jasper walked up to her, kissing the back of her hand. Jealousy rung through me, it felt very new. Alice's face fell when she saw the movement Jasper made. I must've looked pretty pissed off myself.

"Well, let's go meet Rosalie." Alice said when Jasper came back to her side. Bella and I walked to the living room together, but she took the seat beside Emmett and Rosalie, while I took the one on the other side of the doorway. My eyes were stuck to Bella like glue, and her brown eyes were sure to avoid me. Occasionally, her eyes would come up to mine, but when they did, she would blush and turn away. What will it take to get this girl to like me? Alice and Jasper walked in then, and I could've sworn I heard talking. Maybe I should listen to my mom's advice and just tell her…but I wouldn't want to scare her away.

"SHIT!" I heard Alice yell. I realized she wasn't there anymore. I need to get this girl out of my head. She's just a girl, nothing special. You'll be fine, Edward. You'll be fine.
