Chapter 7
Edward was laughing awkwardly and I could see a hint of lust in his eyes which vanished as quickly as it came, making me to doubt its existence.
Time passed. We still talked everyday via WhatsApp. But the conversations, unfortunately stayed off the boob topic. Edward and I became very good friends which resulted in a lot of loneliness on my part when he went for his cousin's wedding to some far off place. I shouldn't have felt lonely as I had a few cousins over from London and I had missed them terribly. Vladimir was my baby brother who was the apple of my eye being the youngest in our family at 5. I absolutely adored him and I'm glad that the feeling was mutual. And his elder sister, Jane was 11. She was the odd one in our bunch. The days passed while dancing to ''Gangnam Style'', playing monopoly, watching movies, and dancing our asses off on Brittany and Ke$ha songs.
But the nights were the ones when I missed Edward terribly. Night was the time when we talked the most. From what we did today to what we ate. He had only been gone for, 3 days and those 3 days without him felt like one of my senses had been taken away from me. Every message that came sent my heart into flutters as I hoped that it's my 'fifty' missing me from the other side of the country. But I knew that it was nearly impossible for him to text me or WhatsApp me 'cause of the shit network but my stupid heart, it just clang on to the hope which comes with the phrase 'nearly impossible'. It didn't focus on 'impossible' but on the 'nearly'. And at that moment, I knew why I faced so many heartbreaks. It's because of the expectations. The expectations which should never have come to my mind were actually my hidden desires. So anyway, Edward DID text me, but unfortunately, we couldn't text for long. It was around 12:30 am and he WhatsApped saying he finally found a wifi and was telling me about how even though it was a small town, the scenery was fabulous and he even sent me a few pictures of it. I risked asking him for a picture and he happily obliged, which made me wonder why I was hesitant in the first place.
However, Vlad wasn't very happy when he learnt that Edward was a boy and I was paying more attention to Ed that Vlad. He told me to tell Ed that he thought he was a 'stupid cow and a moron' and that he should leave me alone. Edward thought this was funny and they both fought till Vlad burst into tears thinking Edward was gonna steal his sister. I told Edward to go and sleep or at least put me Vlad to sleep and that I would call him around 2 am.
Sadly, Vlad wanted me to sleep with him 'cause he missed me so much. Gah, he's adorable. Edward texted me a lot that night but I wasn't able to reply very often. He finally said 'what the crap, Bella? I text you after 3 days and you don't have any time for me?' I laughed at him and told him to feed this crap to somebody who might believe it.
But inside, I was jumping with joy.
He missed me.
HE missed me.
He missed ME.
He MISSED me.
HE MISSED ME.
It was when I finally admitted to myself that I maybe falling in love with a certain Edward Cullen.
