"Chemistry of a Car Crash"- Shiny Toy Guns
Bella's POV
Ever Since I heard the word "love" come from Alice's lips, I had a strange, frightened feeling that this was exactly what it was. It was safe to say I had never, never, ever even fathomed of being able to feel this way. I had never even thought I wanted to. But now that I did, I wanted more; more time, more butterflies in my stomach, more weak in the knees feelings, more of him. I wanted to touch his face, to feel his grasp on me, his hands on mine. I felt incredibly foolish for having these feelings, all he had uttered to me was that I was "so interesting." And that I was "very funny," (though I had no clue how he could think that) "and that I was endearing," and …. Lovely. He said I was lovely. Every time I thought of those words the pit of my stomach fluttered and twisted. I giggled into my palm and he noticed.
"What is it?" he chuckled. Oh dear, what a beautiful sound.
Well there's no way I'm going to tell him the meaning behind my secretive amusement.
"Umm, well," I laughed nervously. "It's no big deal, really. Just thinking of a funny joke I heard a while ago. Our topic reminded me of it."
"Ah-hah…." he laughed.
"Well enough about me!" I said smiling too widely and throwing my hands up in the air.
"Bella, you haven't said a word about yourself." He looked at me confused, his eyebrow raised.
"Well," I sighed. "There isn't much to tell- I'm known to be not much of an interesting topic."
"I would have to say I disagree." I looked up at him, flustered and blushing, his eyes were smoldering. Is it hot in here?
I cleared my throat. "Well, I don't know what to say…"
"Tell me about how you like it here in Forks? How's school? What are your interests? What's it like with Alice and Rose as roommates?" he laughed at the last one.
"Oh gosh," I rubbed my hands on my face. "Goodness what I would give to get out of here, it's just too cold, too wet, too quiet. I miss Phoenix…"
We spent the rest of the entire night laughing and giggling and talking and arguing and debating. I was honestly astounded by his intelligence. His passion for the piano, for music. His maturity, his sophistication. His… beauty. I was falling hard for him, but I was getting down about the slim chance he felt the same way. Maybe Alice could help…
Yeah right. No matter how much you'd like to believe it, not even Alice can get someone like him to fall for you.. Get over it.
Alice came in suddenly squealing that we had been in here the entire party. Jasper was holding on to her and laughing. "Alice come on! Let them be!"
"Pshhhh! Let them be?! I need every detail Bella!" she said as if Edward totally wasn't sitting right in front of me.
I begged Jasper with my eyes to get her out of here before I turned tomato red. All he had to do was say the magic words. He grabbed her face, being a little more forceful than usual, the way I knew she loved, and whispered gruffly into her ear, "Let's go Alice, I need to get rid of all this …energy."
She practically melted in his hand, "Uhh, you two have fun!" she giggled, still able to torture me. "I'm staying at Jasper's apartment."
Of course they had enough money to have two living spaces.
"Well …I think it's time for me to go as well, Bella." he said regretfully.
My heart fell, and my face must have as well because he reached out and cupped it in his hand. I got goose bumps instantly and smiled subtly. Inside I was dieing.
Sure enough when we left the room we were greeted by a heavy silence. The house was practically empty, we walked to the door and spotted Rosalie putting her coat on, as well as Emmett. I guess Alice wasn't going to be the only busy one tonight. The house would be left all to me. Rose simply giggled and gave me a knowing look as she retreated, Emmett waved goodbye. Whether her look was because of me and Edward or because of what was ahead for her, I had no clue; I had no want for any idea.
"Well Miss Bella." he smiled. "You've made this quite a nice night for me."
"The pleasure was all mine," I said, shakily.
He looked into my eyes, his twinkling, and leaned down to kiss my cheek. It was a tender, soft kiss, his lips lingered there for a second and I shivered.
"Goodnight…"
Edward POV
I was speechless as I sat in front of her, I was swimming in debt of Alice. I would never forget this, because I didn't know what it was about the amazing creature sitting in front of me but I was dumbfounded. She was absolutely magnificent. It was hard to believe she could feel anything close to what I was feeling about her, for me. Why would she? I was just a serious, nagging, old-fashion, know-it-all 22 year-old. She seemed to get lost in a thought for a moment and then came back, blushing.
"What is it?" I chuckled.
I wonder what's causing that enthusing little giggle.
"Umm, well," she laughed nervously. "It's no big deal, really. Just thinking of a funny joke I heard a while ago. Our topic reminded me of it."
"Ah-hah…." I laughed. The poor girl was lying through her teeth, she was pitifully bad at it and that seemed to make her even more endearing.
"Well enough about me!" she said smiling widely and throwing her hands up in the air. Wanting to take the attention of her and the silence she thought was awkward; I thought was hilarious.
"Bella, you haven't said a word about yourself." I looked at her confused but amused.
"Well," she sighed. "There isn't much to tell- I'm known to be not much of an interesting topic."
What?! What in the- What in the world is she thinking? She is the most- the smartest- most beautiful. She's perfect, how can she even think this?!
"I would have to say I disagree." she looked up at me she seemed shocked by my expression, taken back. Or maybe she was just not expecting my response.
She blushed and looked around aimlessly, scratching her head and cleared her throat. "Well, I don't know what to say…"
"Tell me about how you like it here in Forks? How's school? What are your interests? What's it like with Alice and Rose as roommates?" I laughed.
"Oh gosh," she vigorously rubbed her head, as if the topic of Forks itself was giving her a headache. "Goodness what I would give to get out of here, it's just too cold, too wet, too quiet. I miss Phoenix…"
The rest of the night- well I wouldn't have giving it up. I learned her ins and outs. She was probably one of the most honest and sincere people I had met, she told me of her love for her mother and father and her decision to come to Forks. The story she told me of how she, Rose, and Alice met had me in stitches and it seemed as if she liked to watch me laugh. She told me countless stories of consequences of her clumsiness. Everything she told me showed me more and more and more about her and each bit made me fall harder and harder. Told me more and more about how perfect she was.
If only she knew what I was thinking, the way I wanted to take this. I had to see her again, there was no doubt in my mind.
Suddenly Alice came barging in and all the marvelous, grateful thoughts I had of her went away in an instant. How could she interrupt this?! And she seemed to enjoy what she had walked in on because she began jumping up and down, giggling and smiling proudly. Jasper had his arms wrapped around her, restraining her. Jasper. If anyone could coax her away it was Jasper. I pleaded him with my eyes. Come on, Jaz. Don't let me down. "Alice come on! Let them be!" he laughed.
"Pshhhh! Let them be?! I need every detail Bella!" she said causing Bella to glare at Alice, embarrassed.
Suddenly he took hold of her, becoming a little rougher and whispered into her ear, "Let's go Alice, I need to get rid of all this …energy." His voice husky.
And of course knowing Alice, she became putty. "Uhh, you two have fun!" she giggled "I'm staying at Jasper's apartment."
Although I was grateful for the distraction he gave her, letting me get back to my Bella, it was repulsive to see my best friend become remotely "naughty" with my sister.
My heart fell when I saw the time. 1:30 a.m. I had to go or I wouldn't get sleep for another week. When I was 17 I was diagnosed with a strange case of insomnia. Every night I had to get to bed by 2:00 a.m. at the latest or I wouldn't get a wink of sleep for one week, exactly. Heaven knows how many tests Carlisle ran on me to see what my problem was. So, this is the conclusion we came to, of course it was just a time estimate- it was may too late to get to bed now, or maybe I had 2 more hours to get to bed. Either way, long story short- I had a sleeping problem.
"Well …I think it's time for me to go as well, Bella." i said regretfully, hating myself to my very core.
I could tell she didn't want me to leave either, because she frowned and her face fell, sadly. Although, I didn't like the idea of her being hurt in the slightest, she looked gorgeous this way, like a sad angel. I reached out to touch her flawless face, cupping it under my hand. I could feel her pulse quicken under me and laughed a bit.
Apparently Alice wasn't going to be the only one staying out tonight, I noticed as I saw Emmett and Rose gather their things. I didn't like the idea of Bella being here all by herself, but she seemed safe enough, I thought as I scoped the loft.
"Well Miss Bella." I sighed and smiled as soon as I came to the conclusion that all was well in the room. "You've made this quite a nice night for me." she really, truly had.
"The pleasure was all mine," she said, shakily.
I looked at her, not even noticing how deeply my eyes were probably boring into hers, I felt so new inside and I liked to thank her for that. Could I really be in love? She shuddered and blushed under my watch, then smiled a breath-taking, soft smile. I leaned in and kissed her cheek, pressing my lips to her soft, warm, smooth skin. I left my lips there a few seconds, liking the feel of my them against her sweet skin. I felt her shudder under my lips and smiled happily. I liked that I had this effect on her.
"Goodnight…" I said, but this was definitely not goodbye.
REVIEWSS.. I LIKE EM :)
