Chapter 5: First Day of School (BPOV)

One thing I noticed about Edward was that he doesn't need an alarm clock or anything. As soon as the sun rises so does he, but I guess that has to do with the whole solar-powered thing. It made me happy to know this about him; this one little observation made me feel closer to him even though it was only a little bit. His lovely emerald eyes fluttered open. Men should not have such luscious eyelashes; it wasn't fair, I thought as I gently ran my finger down his jaw. He looked rumpled and so very adorable. He was still drowsy, but he gave me a sleepy smile. I giggled; he was too cute.

"Good morning, Baby," I said pressing a kiss to his soft lips. He gently returned my kiss.

"Good morning, love," he whispered against my lips.

"How did you sleep?" I twirled his flaming hair around my fingers. So soft.

"Best night sleep I've ever had," he said sleepily. Aww, he is so cute. I couldn't help myself; I showered his face in kisses. He chuckled and returned every single one of them. It was a little after six, and school would start in one and a half hours. I wanted to spend forever cuddled up with him like this, but I had to make sure he ate. Esme was cooking his breakfast downstairs; she really was enjoying this mother thing way too much.

"School will start at seven-forty. Do you want to eat or shower first?" I asked, my head still on his chest. The sound of his heartbeat was so relaxing.

He kissed my head, "I will shower first; it helps me wake up.," he said. He yawned and got out of the bed. His pajama pants had ridden low on his hips, and his chest was deliciously bare. Why did he enjoy torturing me? He caught me staring and flashed me a smile. I ducked my head embarrassed. He took me chin in his hand and tilted my head up; he then proceeded to kiss my deeply and passionately. When he broke the kiss, I swear the room was spinning.

He gave me a sweet smile and placed one final kiss on my lips while whispering, "I love you." He walked into the bathroom, and I laid there on the bed, completely dazed. I went downstairs to check on Edward's breakfast. Thankfully Esme didn't go overboard with the food amount this time. She made eggs, bacon, pancakes, and a fruit salad with grapes, strawberries, and banana. I tried ignored the smell; I would have to get used to it if I was going to be with Edward.

"Good morning, dear," Esme said cheerfully. She pecked me on the cheek and then danced over to the fridge for some orange juice. It was so obvious how thrilled she was about Edward joining the family. She didn't seem bothered by the smell at all.

"Morning, Mom," I replied cheerfully as well. Huh. I sounded really happy. I felt really happy.

"Love makes all the difference, doesn't it," Esme said cheekily. She had noticed.

"Honestly, I feel like I'm flying. Is this how you feel with Carlisle?" Does love feel this wonderful to everyone?

"Yes, I can't help but be happy when I am with Carlisle."

"The feeling is mutual, my dear," speak of the devil. Carlisle gracefully glided over to his wife and placed a loving kiss on her lips. Esme giggled like a school girl. Normally I would leave the kitchen while trying to suppress the intense feelings of sadness and loneliness, but now I could only smile happily at them and wait for my Edward to come to me. They noticed the obvious change in my attitude and smiled at me. They really were the best parents anyone could have.

Upstairs I heard Alice talking to Edward. Apparently she had picked out the hottest first day of school outfit ever, her words not mine. Edward graciously chuckled and accepted the outfit. How could you not love him? Alice squealed in delight at having such an accepting big brother and skipped back to her room to finish getting ready.

Carlisle chuckled, "Well, he makes a fine addition to the family."

"Thank you, Carlisle," Edward said as he walked into the kitchen. I felt a goofy smile light up my face. Then I almost fainted at the sight of him. It really was the hottest first day of school outfit ever. He was wearing a black button down with dark wash jeans; it sounds simple, but the first three buttons were undone, the sleeves were rolled up to show off his tan, muscular biceps, and the jeans rode low on his hips. His gorgeous hair was brushed and looked far too beautiful for words. Add his heart melting smile and dazzling green eyes, and we have a sexual assault waiting to happen. He strolled over to me and wrapped his arms around me; he then gave me the sweetest and most loving kiss a woman could ever experience. The perfect moment was ruined by Alice's scream.

"Emmet, what are you wearing?" Alice screeched. "Geez, why can't you be as docile as Edward." The whole house burst out laughing. A faint blush spread across Edward's cheeks; oh my gosh! I suppressed the urge to jump on him. Edward was blushing and looking absolutely delicious while he did it.

"I'm not docile," Edward pouted. I just couldn't help but kiss him.

"Alright you two, break it up. Edward, you need to eat before your food gets cold.," Esme chided.

Edward went over to her and kissed her cheek, "Thank you, Esme." He sat down and ate his food as he was told. He really was docile. He smiled at me and opened his arms, inviting me to sit on his lap. I definitely wasn't going to turn that down. I curled up in his arms while he ate. Could any moment be more perfect than this? I closed my eyes and listened to his heart. I felt his fingers stroking my hair and purred. I heard Esme and Carlisle giggling, but I ignored them; I was too busy enjoying my Edward. My Edward. I would never get tired of that.

I heard a click and opened my eyes to see Alice with a camera, "Alice, really?"

"Oh hush! Look, you'll love it," she danced over to us and showed me the picture. I did love it. I was curled up against Edward chest with my eyes closed and a small smile on my lips, but what I really cared about was the image of Edward stroking my hair and gazing at me adoringly. I felt a smile emerge on my face. "See, I told you," Alice boasted.

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, okay Alice, it is a lovely picture, and I really love it." I felt Edward chuckle and kiss my head. I rested my head against his heart once again.

"Enough of that you two. Geez, I feel like a pregnant woman," Jasper complained while entering the kitchen. He kissed Alice before continuing, "I don't need all these emotions. If I start sobbing, one of you is being thrown in the river, most likely Bella."

"Hey!" Why me?

"Don't worry, love. I won't let him touch you," Edward whispered into my ear. I melted. God help me, I was putty in his hands. I smiled at him before kissing him.

"Gah, my eyes!" Our moment was once again broken. I was going to kill Emmet. He was wearing a white T-shirt that stretched to cover his buff upper body and jeans. What was he wearing before that set Alice off.

"He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and swim trunks," Edward explained to me. Oh… that made sense.

"I am going to go get ready," I said. I kissed Edward and reluctantly got off his lap.

"Bella, can I…" Alice trailed off.

"No Alice, I am choosing my own outfit," she pouted. I dashed up the stairs, and got ready at vampire speed. I had showered and dressed in less than five minutes. I wanted to look nice for Edward, but I refused to dress the short skirts and dresses Alice had gotten me. I wore a pair of nice fitting designer jeans and a lovely deep blue blouse. Edward liked to play with my hair, so I brushed it and left it out instead of just simply pulling it into a ponytail. I thought I looked pretty nice without going overboard.

I skipped down the stairs to find Edward waiting for me at the bottom. I eagerly ran into awaiting arms of my Edward. His eyes scanned me from head to toe, and I suddenly felt very self-conscious. Should I change? Before I could ask if I looked weird, he kissed my deeply. I quickly became drunk on the feel, smell, and taste of him.

"You look stunning," he whispered against my lips. I shivered in pleasure and sighed into his mouth when he kissed me again. When we finally broke apart, I felt dizzy and probably had a goofy smile on my face, but I was too happy to care. Just then Rosalie glided down the stairs in a tight, red long sleeve V-neck shirt. We all grabbed our back packs and hopped into the cars. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet road in Emmet's red Jeep, and Edward and I took Carlisle black Mercedes.

We arrived at school ten minutes before the bell rang. When I parked the car, Edward hopped out and walked around to my side to open to the door for me. He was such a gentleman.

"Thank you, Edward. You didn't have to do that," I said as he helped me out of my seat.

"It is part of my courting you," he said and kissed my hand. I couldn't stop the smile from spreading to my face. I fell a little more in love with at that moment. He smiled at me, and I lost myself in his deep green eyes.

"Oh my God, who is that?" I heard an annoying nasal voice; it was none other than Jessica Stanley. A group of other teenage girls were with her, and they were all openly gazing at Edward. They looked like a man in a desert seeing an oasis, thirsty and ready to pounce. What did I say; sexual assault waiting to happen. I growled, wanting to snap every one of their necks.

"Ignore them, love. I'm yours and yours alone," he kissed me right there for the world to see and I surrendered myself to him. The rest of the world melted away as I drowned in Edward. He softly nipped at my bottom lip before sucking on it. I went limp in his arms.

"Could you two tone down the lust a bit?" Jasper's voice brought me out of my Edward induced haze. I blinked trying to clear my head. Only Edward could do this to me. I was pleased to see his eyes looked a bit dazed too; his lips were puffy and red, and I was dying to kiss him again. "You're attracting quite a bit of attention," everyone's eyes were on us. The girls were boiling jealousy. Rosalie, Emmet, and Alice had joined.

It was perfectly normal for people to look at us. Rosalie was more beautiful than a super model with her perfect, wavy blonde hair that feel past her waist and tall, curvy body. Emmet with his muscular physique, dimples, and dark brown curls. Alice had lovely elfin like features that went well with her spiky black hair. Jasper looked like a perfect southern gentleman and was tall with golden curls. I guess becoming a vampire had made me pretty. I had mahaogony colored hair that flowed in waved and curls down to my waist. I had a heart-shaped face, red lips, and subtle curves. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but the students had finally gotten use to us. Now with Edward and his god-like looks, we were once the again the center of attention' or rather he was. My jealousy spiked again. I didn't like the idea of all these girls fawning over him. Edward noticed my pout and kissed it away. I couldn't be mad when he was around, so I would wait awhile.

(Epov)

I kissed Bella goodbye, and Jasper walked with me to get my schedule from the office. I felt the ache in my heart that came from the separation of my mate, but it was a phoenix characteristic, and I took comfort from the fact that Bella wouldn't feel it. The sky was gray and cloudy, but I didn't feel irritated like a normally did in this weather. I was happy to be in the same place as my mate.

We entered the small school office to see a curly red-haired woman with glasses typing on a computer. Apparently she was emailing a friend. When she saw me, however, said friend was quickly forgotten. Oh my! He is gorgeous! Stop it, Linda. He is half your age. Not true, I could be her great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, but she didn't need to know that. I was use to the minds of females by now. It was something I had grown used to over the last four-hundred years. It had driven me nearly mad when I had reached maturity, but I learned to cope with it.

"Excuse me, Ms. Cope, this is my new adopted brother, Edward Cullen. We came to get his schedule," Jasper said calmly, but he was laughing inside. That's quite a bit of lust I feel coming from her, Edward. I ignored him.

"Hello," I said politely. Even his voice is attractive. I cleared my throat; she snapped out of her daze.

"Oh...um, uh, of course," she rifled through her drawers. "Here it is, Edward Cullen third year." She handed me my schedule; her hand was shaking. She wasn't a bad person; she was trying to control herself and not think of me inappropriately; I had to appreciate that. I thanked her and left the office with a very amused Jasper. AP Latin, Calculus BC, Gym, Lunch, Biology 2 Honors, AP World History, Computer Design, English 2 Honors, Debate. I remembered taking these many years ago. I had gone to a few high schools before moving on to colleges. I had degrees in Medicine, Law, Business, Science, etc.

"Have you been to high school many times?" Jasper asked me.

"Yes, I've attended high school and college multiple times," I explained to him.

"Good, so you know what you're doing. We have first and fifth period together; you and Rose share seventh period, and you have sixth with Emmet, and second and fourth with Bella. We all have the same lunch. So let's go," we walked to first period. I blocked out the lust filled thoughts of the female students.

First period was easy, I was fluent in Latin as well as many other languages. The teacher was quite impressed with my skills; I knew the language better than he did. Calculus was my favorite so far. Bella and I spent the whole class playing and flirting. I kept poking her leg with my foot, and she tried to be a good student and stay silent, but I managed to make her giggle multiple times. It was the loveliest sound in my world.

The teacher had scolded her, "Ms. Cullen this is math class, not social hour, please pay attention."

"Yes, Mr. Rorick," she had replied politely.

When he had returned to the lesson I said, "It's not social hour, Ms. Cullen; have some self-control." She smacked my arm, but she was smiling. I would do anything for that smile.

I kissed her after I walked her to next class and then went to the gym. She gave me sweet myself that I tucked away in my heart. Gym was easy of course, but the girls often stared at me while we were playing soccer. I scored continuously, and the coach tried to convince me to join the team. I was relieved when it was finally lunch time. My heart ached, and I missed my Bella.

While I was walking to the cafeteria, I was approached by who would be considered as your stereotypical popular mean-girl. She had nice long blonde hair and ice blue eyes. She could be considered pretty if her face wasn't drenched in make-up and her personality wasn't so horrid. She was dressed in a mini jeans skirt that barely covered her upper thighs and a tight V-neck shirt that plunged a little too low. Her cleavage was fully exposed due to a push up bra that was two sizes too small. She looked like a tramp, and I found myself wondering how she didn't freeze to death when she was outside.

She fluttered her eyelashes at me in a way that she thought was seductive, but actually looked like she had something in her eye, "Hi, I'm Lauren. You're the new guy, Edward, right?" Her voice irritated my ears. My, my he is yummy. He has to be the hottest guy I've ever seen. I wonder how big he is. She moved too close and pressed her breasts against my arm. I stepped away quickly. She was picturing herself and me rutting in her room. This whole scenario was disgusting.

"I'm sorry, but I have to meet my family, if you'll excuse me," I tried to walk around her, but she pressed herself against me. I tried to calm myself; I didn't want to burn her, at least, I didn't think I did.

So he wants to play hard to get, okay. I can work with that. She ran her hands down her thighs and hiked up her skirt an inch. She only had another inch left, "Why don't you come with me. We can do something way more fun than family time," she tried to hush her voice and sound alluring, but I suppressed the urge to cover my ears with my hands. She reminded me of the sirens I had run into when I was flying over the Pacific. Just her looking at me made me feel violated.

"I'd rather not, thank you," my inner phoenix was furious. A female who wasn't my mate had touched me sexually, and I wanted to incinerate her. My flesh felt hot. My flame was heating. I had to calm down. I had underestimated the intensity of the emotions that came with mating. Why does he keep stepping back? Oooh, maybe he wants to lure me somewhere. Could this girl not take a hint. I thought it was pretty obvious that I wasn't interested.

I decided to state it clearly, " Lauren, I am already with someone, and I'm not interested. Please leave me alone."

Her face flushed red with rage and embarrassment, "She couldn't possibly compete with me. Isabella Cullen is nothing compared to me. I could give you sex you've only ever dreamed of." I was going to burn this girl. How dare she insult my mate! Burn her, my phoenix urged.

"He is not interested, slut! Get out of here before you humiliate yourself more than you already have," thank God for Rosalie. Looks like your first day isn't going too well, I fought back my smile. I felt my phoenix begin to calm down. Lauren turned bright red and stomped off. I had forgotten how persistent teenage girls could be.

"Thank you so much, Rosalie. I almost lost it," I thanked her sincerely.

She looked away embarrassed at my candidness, "Yeah, well you're family after all. We've got each other's backs. Now hurry up. Bella is worried." Oh shoot! How long had I made her wait? We finally approached the cafeteria. It wasn't overcrowded like most of the high schools I had been to, but Forks was a small town. It was ice to not be lost in a sea of bodies for once. That was the last thing to run through my mind before I was bombarded with thoughts. He is so sexy! That's the new guy? He is so hot. Is he single? I heard he turned down Lauren; maybe I can take a shot at him. He has such gorgeous hair. Look at those muscles! Yummy! This was getting old really fast. I blocked them out as best as I could.

Then I saw my light at the end of the tunnel. Bella was seated at a table with the other Cullens. She looked a little anxious, but a smile lit up her face when she saw me. She got out of her seat, and it looked like she was going to come to me, but Alice held her back. The ache in my heart faded instantly, and I felt my legs carry me to her. Before I knew it, she was wrapped in my arms, and I was inhaling her sweet floral scent.

"I missed you," she whispered into my chest.

I kissed her cold cheek, "I missed you, too, love." We sat down at the small, round table. We were receiving quite a bit of attention. That bitch! Darn it, he's taken! I am way prettier than her; he'll be mine in no time, that thought came from an extremely irritating Jessica Stanley. She had been in my gym class and was one the girl who had been ogling at me. My phoenix flared at that. Calm, calm, was my internal chant. Jasper caught my irritation and sent a wave of serenity my way. I gave him a grateful smile, which he returned. Bella had also noticed my aggravation and sent me a concerned look which I quickly kissed away. I pulled her onto my lap, and she cuddled against my chest and rested her head on my heart; my heart that was hers now.

Something was upsetting her; she kept fiddling with her hands. I held one of her cold, dainty hands. The difference was amazing. I kissed every finger on her little hand. She let out a contented sigh and relaxed against my chest.

"What's wrong, love?" I asked as I stroked her hair. I didn't like the thought of her being unhappy.

She stayed silent, and I thought she wasn't going to answer, but then she said, "Alice saw Lauren with you in her visions." She wouldn't look me in the eyes.

I tilted her head up and looked at her eyes. She looked so sad and insecure. I didn't want to have this conversation for the world to see. I got up and guided her to the door. She sent me a questioning look, but followed me silently. When we were outside the building, I made sure no one was around before facing her. She stared at the ground.

"Love, look at me, please," I didn't want her to feel insecure with me. Didn't she know how much I adored her? She glanced at me shyly. I wrapped my arms around her and tugged her to my chest. She came willingly and buried her face in my chest. I didn't want that. I wanted her to look me in the eyes when I said this. I took a small step back. A hurt expression flashed across her face; she had misunderstood.

"Bella, do you honestly think that I would ever look at another woman the way I look at you?"

"Well, I don't think you would cheat on me, but there are so many beautiful women, human and not, who would love to be with you. You could have anyone you wanted, and I can't help but think that the only reason you're with me is because the mating bond that your kind has is keeping you here," she was trembling as she spoke. Oh my angel, you really don't know my feelings do you?

"Angel, I love you. I'll say it a million times if you like. I love you and no one else. I absolutely adore you, Bella, and not because of the bond; I love you for you. I have only know you for a few days, but I love how witty and charming you are. I love the shy way you smile when you're embarrassed. I love the way you tuck your hair behind your ear when you're reading, and I adore how kind and loving you are. I could go on and on; I have no problem with complimenting you, but, Bella, you are my mate. You're the one I want to spend forever with. There is not one woman in the world, human or supernatural, who could be more beautiful to me than you are; who could capture my heart the way you have," she looked like she would cry if she could.

I cupped her sweet face between my hands. She let out a little sob. I softly kissed her forehead, her cheeks, and her nose before finally capturing her lips with my own. She leaned into me, and I reveled at how sweet she tasted. Her cold lips moved with my own, and I couldn't get enough of her. She gripped onto my shirt, and moaned when my tongue entered her mouth. I devoured her, and when she moaned against my lips, I lifted her off the ground; she wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. She whimpered when she felt our hips meet. Her hips ground against mine as she tried to get closer to me, and I had to stop before I claimed her against the school's brick wall. I reluctantly pulled my lips from hers, and she whimpered in distress. I rested my forehead against hers. We were both panting and after a while our breathing finally calmed.

"Do you still doubt how much I want you?" I asked as I nibbled on her pale, graceful neck.

She whimpered once again, "Edward," she pressed her breasts against my chest, and I held back my groan.

"Do you, love?" I insisted.

"No, I don't doubt you, Edward. I love you; I love you so much," she whimpered into my neck. I held her until she stopped trembling, then I placed her back on her feet, but I kept my arms around her waist, and she rested her hands against my chest; she couldn't put her arms around my neck when we stood like this; I was too tall. "Edward, I want to be a good mate to you. I've never been in a relationship before. I don't know how to act, and I'm terribly insecure. I don't how to be sexy or confident. I'm just boring, insecure, inexperienced Bella."

"That is not true. I think it's adorable how shy you are and as for sexy. I don't believe I've ever wanted a woman as badly I want you. This is my first relationship as well," she looked shocked at this. I couldn't help but chuckle at her expression. "What?" I asked.

"But you're so gorgeous! There must have been tons of women throwing themselves at you."

"There were, but none of them were you. None of them were the woman who I adored with all my heart and wanted to be with forever," I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"You waited four-hundred years for me?" she asked. Her voice was soft and quiet.

"Yes, and you were more than worth it," she through her arms around me and peppered my chest, neck, and chin with kisses seeing as how she could barely reach my face.

"I am just as inexperienced as you, Bella, but I'm happy about that. I've never wanted to be with anyone else, and I'm happy that you haven't either as selfish as it sounds."

"It's not selfish at all. I'm yours completely and eternally, and you're mine, right?" she asked timidly.

"Completely and eternally," I kissed her sweet lips. The bell rang breaking us apart. Bella pouted, and I resisted the urge to grab her and fly away with her. "We should be going to our next class; we have biology together."

"Okay," she relented, but before we walked to class, she placed a kiss over my heart, her lips lingering. Sparks spread throughout my body; I was so in love with this woman. "I love you," she whispered, voicing my thoughts.

"I love you, too," hand in hand we walked to biology.
