Chapter 7 BPOV
"Have you ever traveled?" I asked the first question that popped into my mind.
Edward smiled, "Yes I have traveled before. I traveled all of Europe."
"Really?" he nodded his head. I was amazed, I remember once my dad promised me that when I grow up he would take me on a world tour.
"Okay, my turn… what's your favorite gem stone?"
"Emerald." I blurted out without thinking. Oh dear. I could tell I was blushing full red. Topaz was my favorite gem stone, though I did like emerald.
"Why are you embarrassed?" He looked perplexed.
"Umm, nothing." I said too quickly. I tried to think of another question to ask. Nothing was coming to my mind.
"Tell me," I could see in his eyes that he was really eager to know.
"Nope, not a chance." Question, question; think of a question quickly.
He looked down and then looked up at me through his eyelash. He leaned down close to me and burned his eyes to me. "Please." His sweet breath fanned my face.
"Umm… sorry?" I was astonished. How did he do that?
"Please tell me way you were embarrassed," once again, his sweet breath fanned my face.
I couldn't resist, "It's the color of your eyes." I looked down feeling completely idiotic.
He seemed like he wasn't expecting that reply, "Oh than – you." He smiled charmingly – only the Greek God can smile like that – I looked down again. What will he think of me? A plain, ugly girl saying this to him. He should've asked someone prettier than me. He probably asked me because he felt sympathy for me. And those Princes probably asked me to dance with them so they could insult me. I don't blame them; a girl like me deserves to be insulted. I am a mean girl who cannot even get her step – mother's forgiveness. I felt sick, I should go. I shouldn't have even come here, it was a wrong decision. I always make wrong decisions.
"I'm sorry, I have to go." Why did I come here in the first place? Why did I agree to dance with him? I let go of Edwards hands and went for the door.
"Wait!" he called out. He put a hand on my shoulder and spun me around so I was facing him.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that. We don't have to play 20 questions, just please stay?" he said those words in a rush – like he wanted me to stay. My heart fluttered as he told me to stay.
"Alright then." I whispered. He looked up at me and smiled enchantingly and pulled me back to the middle of the garden again and started to waltz.
I wanted to know more about him, "Do you play an instrument?" I wasn't exactly done asking questions.
"So you do want to play?" he said teasingly.
"You made me curious." I got lost into his eyes. It always happens whenever we pause just a little bit. I seem to never notice what is going on around me. Whenever I do get lost into his eyes I feel the electric shock go stronger but I don't want to look away. I also feel some strange feeling I have never felt towards anyone before.
"Yes I do." He said randomly, I looked at him confused. What is he talking about?
He laughed pleasingly, "Yes I do play an instrument." He extended. There again, I completely got distracted.
"Oh right, really. What t do you play?"
"I play the piano."
"Wow, are you a professional?"
He shrugged his shoulder, "What's your favorite music?" he ignored my question.
"Well… I have many, one of them might be Clair de Lune." I thought of the past where my (real) mother used to play a lot of Debussy's music.
"That's one of my favorites too." He sounded amazed.
We asked questions for a long time. I would continuously get lost in his eyes and lose track of everything. It was found that we had a lot of things in common.
"Wow we have a lot in common." I said when we had nothing to ask.
"Yes indeed." He breathed. He started leaning down hesitantly. Our lips were coming closer, and closer…
"Edward, baby there you are. I was looking all over for you." We both jumped at the high pitched voice. A strawberry blonde was coming towards us. When she reached us she pushed me away from Edward and placed both of her hands on Edward's chest. I felt this unfamiliar feeling. I have been feeling a lot of unfamiliar feelings tonight. It must have been jealousy.
"Baby you shouldn't really do this you know." She fluttered.
"Tanya, what are you doing he-"
She put her two fingers on his lips to stop him from finishing the sentence. "Shh Baby."
I thought it would be nice if I give them privacy. So I left the garden and closed the door. I went to the other door that goes to the party.
Suddenly I felt a hand hold my wrist and spin me around. It was Edward's.
"Bella, I am so sorry. I didn't mean for her to come. Please don't think we have a relationship going on. We don't and we never did, and I never wanted to please don- "
"It's okay Edward; if you love her then don't try to hide it." I said soothingly.
EPOV
"It's okay Edward; if you love her then don't try to hide it." she said soothingly. Oh what so now everyone thinks I like Tanya. First father thinks I like her now Bella. How could I tell her? If I did I know she would argue back. I needed to tell her, but how? Unless…
I held both of her hands high up to our chest and leaned down hesitantly. I've never done this before. I pressed my lips softly against her lip. The feeling was exhilarating. I've never felt like this before. She was the perfect girl; a girl that I was looking for this whole time. We both pulled away. She was blushing beautifully as my hands slid down to her waist. I pulled her body closer to mine. We just stared at each other for what seemed like forever. Could this be love at first sight, I never really believed in it but is it really true?
DONG!!! The clock rang. It was indicating that it was 11:45pm now. We looked at the clock and then I went back to looking at Bella. She wasn't looking at me; she was looking at the clock in horror.
"Oh dear, I have to go now." She said hurriedly. She let go of my hands and went for the door.
"Wait!" I stopped her. "Why do you have to go now?"
"Because my mother would kill me," why would her mother kill her when she is in this party herself?
"Why would she?"
"It's a long story, but I really have to go now." She said in a rush.
I looked down. Does this mean I will never see her again? Wait… "Will I ever see you again?" I know it was the wrong time but I needed to see her again, otherwise I would not know how I will survive.
She smiled like an angel, "I promise you will." She promised, and this promised sounded like she meant it. She looked deeply in to my eyes.
DONG!!! The clock rang again. I hate that clock.
BPOV
"Okay goodbye Edward!" I called out as I left. I ran straight to the carriage ignoring the entire glare I received from girls. What was wrong with them? I did nothing tonight but danced with Edward. My heart exploded as I remembered how he kissed me. I found Alice waiting for me in the carriage. I climbed in and saw the smug expression on Alice.
"So… what did you guys do tonight?" Oh dear.
"Edward got me a drink, offered me to dance and we played 20 questions." I simply said.
"'Edward' so now he told you to call him just Edward?" she asked. I nodded my head.
"Bella I know there is more. Tanya went to Edward didn't she." She asked.
"How did you know?"
"Well, she was running around the party screaming 'where is my Edward' it was really stupid. I just don't get her, after all the time Edward said he doesn't like her, she still doesn't believe it." Alice said angrily. I just looked down.
"Did he kiss you?" she suddenly asked.
"No." I was a terrible liar and I could tell she knew I was lying.
"Oh my god he did, he did," she started gushing, "Oh Bella I am so proud of you." She hugged me tightly. Next thing I knew it started asking me questions about how the kiss was like.
We arrived to my place, "Alice I have to go now."
"Okay I'll see you soon." I got off the carriage and went straight to my bedroom to remove all the things. After I did I went to have shower. I heard Lauran and Jessica coming in and speaking to each other angrily.
"This is so like not fair. Prince Edward was mean to dance with me not the like idiot." Lauran shouted angrily.
"I like soo agree with you." Jessica joined. Oh lord, what have I done?
"BELLA, come here immediately!!" Amber shouted.
I went to her and she slapped me hard across the face, "I told you I don't want to see a SINGLE dust and what do I see. GO AND CLEAN THIS UP. NOW!!!" she screamed at me. I deserved to get slapped. I quickly got the duster and started cleaning.
"Jessica, Lauran go to bed now." She obeyed and went upstairs as she followed along.
When I was finished Amber came and checked. "Good, now get out of my face, I had a rough day now you don't ruin it again."
I went up stirs to my room and flopped on my bed. Today was a very long day and I was really tired.
That was the first night I dreamt of Edward.
So what did you guys think? Please review and tell me whether or not you liked it. Thank – you and I am sorry for the delay. =)
