Chapter 7

Bella's POV

It was soon nighttime. I'd been thinking a lot about my date with Edward - the boy who I've just met on the second day in Forks. I was thinking, I was daydreaming. I listened to music, did some homework and still nothing could get his handsome looks from my mind. He was so dreamy. Tomorrow, I would be at La Bella Italia with the boy that hated me but now desires me. Or should I say vampire.

I went downstairs to say good night to Charlie. "Dad?" I asked. The TV filled the dim lit living room. The kitchen lights are the brightest in the lower part of the house. "Yeah Bells?" he replied with a cough.

"Good night." I said. I took a few steps up the stairs.

"Wait Bella. Come and have a seat next to me for a minute." He patted his hand on the sofa. I stepped down from the stairs and sat down next to Charlie. He muted the football on the screen.

"Now. Who's that boy who you were with? Was it Edmund or somethin'?" he asked. Oh I thought that wouldn't have stayed in his mind.

"I was with Edward. Edward Cullen."

"Dr Cullen's kid?" he queried. I nodded. He sighed. "How old is he?" He looked at me as if Edward was too old for me.

"He's 17. Same age as me. He's not secretly 20 or something."

"Ok Bells, it's just that... I want you to be safe and not in danger by a boy that you've only just met. And now you're on a date with him tomorrow. I mean come on Bella, isn't that a bit odd?" I shook my head at him.

"Ok dad. It might be a bit weird but... maybe it's just love at first sight. I mean it's not like I'm marrying him tomorrow. It's just a date. I might not even be his girlfriend. Ok? Don't worry about me." Charlie smiled at that.

"Just a date. Okey dokey."

"Dad don't." I said. Charlie laughed.

"You go get some sleep Bells." I got up from the sofa and walked up the stairs. "Love you Bella." I turned to face him.

"Love you too Dad."

The woods was dark. The branches from the trees blocking the precious moonlight. I walked through the woods. A crack of a branch. Footsteps hit against the grass. He stood there in the dark. Staring at me. His attire covered in blood. His eyes were blood red. Another sound of feet on grass. I turned and saw a huge wolf come into view. It's brown fur making the wolf stand out. He launched at the wolf as the wolf came towards me. I couldn't move. I was stuck to the ground watching, being forced to watch, being tortured by him attacking an innocent lonely wolf. I cried out to stop him. He didn't listen. He dug his teeth into the neck. The wolf cried out in agony. He threw the body to the ground with no care. Tears rolled down my cheeks. He looked up at me and smiled. "It's alright my love." He bit my neck. I cried more. The wolf and I layed there motionless in the branches from the trees blocking the precious moonlight.

I woke up immediately covered in sweat from the terrifying nightmare. It was more like torture. "Bella?" my angel spoke. I was startled.

"Why are you here? How did you get in here? Why has...?" He softly pressed his finger to my lips.

"Shhhh. It's alright Bella. Lay down." I did as he said. He lay next to me. I shuffled about trying to get comfy with Edward next to me. "Sit up one second please." He whispered. Edward fluffed up my pillow. I laid down. I smiled, I was now very comfy. "Better now?" he asked softly. His soothing velvet voice tickled my ears. I nodded. He moved his hand towards my face. "May I?" he asked.

"Yes" I nodded. He began to stroke my chin and neck. I shuddered at the coldness of his fingers going over my skin. My hairs stood on end and goosebumps came up onto the surface of my skin. "You're making me fall sleep." I said quietly as my eyes were closing.

"That's the idea." He whispered. He leant over. I could feel his icy breath tingling on my neck. His lips pressed against my neck. He kissed me. Many kisses on my neck. I felt loved. By the time he stopped kissing, I was asleep. He pulled the duvet over me. "Good night Bella." He jumped out of the window.

Edward's POV

She's so beautiful when she sleeps. I have no intention of killing her after she said my name in her deep slumber. How could I hurt her? If only I knew what she dreamed of. Instead I sat there mesmerised by her sleeping and hearing her calling out to me as if she wanted me or if she was in danger. I should've been hunting at that point not watching Bella. In fact, I should be hunting now! But all I need to do is to just sit in my room and think. I don't want to make a mistake with Bella. I want our relationship to be perfect and filled with love. I want to cherrish it with her - my first love. If only she could hear me now and rush into my arms. I only have hours left until our first date. Nothing could go wrong for us. Time would go quicker than I would ever think.

I went over to my CD shelf looking for something calming. I didn't feel in the mood to listen to music, I felt in the mood to play music. Or write music. I could write something for Bella and it could be a present to her. She'd love it. I reached for my journal and pen and darted for my piano. "What's the rush Ed?" Emmett asked as he stood in my doorway. Oh crap.

"I'm just going to my piano. Why? Do you want lessons?" I asked trying to get away from my annoying adoptive brother.

"No I don't want to play piano Eddy." He chuckled

"Don't call me that." I felt annoyed. I wish he'd let me pass so I can get my ideas for a song into my journal and before he can get any ideas.

"Hang on. I smell something on you." Emmett said curiously. Oh great he's onto something. "Alice was right! You've been with her! I smell the new girl on you!"

"Her name is Bella." I growled.

Emmett gasped "Is she your girlfriend? GUYS! EDWARD'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND!" Emmett shouted. I punched Emmett hard in the side.

"Shut up Emmett!"

"They've got to hear this!" He said overjoyed as he grabbed my hand and rushed downstairs with me. "He's been with Bella! His first ever girlfriend!" Emmett said proudly. I yanked my hand away from his grip. My whole family smiled and clapped.

"When can we meet her? We'll be great friends!" Alice squealed.

"She's not my girlfriend. She's just a friend." I tried to get my point clear.

"How's it like dating a human Edward?" Jasper said as he crossed a leg over his other. I felt outraged. They were all greedy for gossip especially Emmett.

"I'm not dating her! What can I do to get you guys to stop bugging me?" I raised my voice. Emmett grabbed my journal from my hand. "Emmett give that back!"

"Oh this is juicy! Listen to what Edward has written!" Oh great. I sat down and put my shameful, embarrassed face in my hands. "While I've felt passion before it has been for music or the idea of love. My romantic motions have been well...romantic. I feel so comfortable with her...as comfortable as I do uncomfortably...excited...a wave...aroused. Ready to leap. My animal nature is barely kept at bay...at the same time...my head is excited...turned on...my heart...my body my mind. She touches me on every level. It is all complete...I am complex with one smile in her eyes." Emmett and Jasper burst out in laughter.

"Wait wait there's more! I am going to see you today. I've been laying here for hours...my skin is pulsating in fact it's vibrating as if it is already near you. As if it could reach out and touch you. Will I be able to control myself?" They continued to laugh.

"You've got it bad for Bella!" Jasper chuckled. If I was mortal, my face would be red and blushing. I was so embarrassed.

"Pack it in you two!" Esme demanded. "I think it's great that Edward is finding someone to get along with or fall in love with."

"I agree!" Alice chirped.

"I don't agree with it at all. Do you see the danger of this? How can we trust a human. We could be exposed. How truthful or secretive is she? Wait until the Volturi find out!" Rosalie said unamused. I could tell that she didn't like this idea at all.

"Rose! Be supportive!" Alice said joyfully. "I've seen the future. And Edward has planned to go on a date with Bella after school in seventeen hours!"

"Oh boy Edward! We need you prepared!" Emmett laughed. I growled and darted upstairs and locked my door. Forget the piano. Emmett wants me to suffer and wryth through his bugging questions and annoying self. What I'd experienced felt like a nightmare!

Is he right? Am I truly in love with Bella? Is she my girlfriend?

(A/N: Oh Emmett I wish you'd leave Edward alone. Next chapter is a bit of a surprise and very different. I hope you all enjoy it!)
