Bella hurried forward as soon as the lights changed. She'd probably classify the move as "escaping", although she wasn't sure why she was so intent on creating a distance between herself and the delicious man, who she only now realized was still standing back there on the other side of the road.

Allowing her steps to slow, she peeked over her shoulder. He was there; she could just make out his shock of hair through the traffic.

"Silly, silly," she muttered to herself, shaking her head. "You don't see many like him, Bella. You should've made the most of it."


Thanks for reading.

I'll be back very soon with Edward's POV.

Here are the lyrics, if you're interested:

.

I see you everyday

I guess we walk the same way

To wherever we're going

Every morning and every night

Do you smile to be polite

No way of knowing

I can't explain it

But I'm not complaining

If I'm happy or sad

If only we had

.

(Chorus)

Just a minute longer. Than this

Just a little closer. Than this

I would get to know you

A little bit better

I could tell you

If only we had

Just a minute longer

.

A moment had arrived

It was just the right time

For conversation

And he asked me

What do you do?

What is your name?

Where are you from?

But before long

We're at the station

.

And I was so frustrated

In fact devastated

I feel happy but sad

If only we had

.

Chorus

.

I wonder

I wonder what you think about

Do you think about me

Maybe I'm a dreamer

But I just believe

And I know what I see

Forever wishing

There would be another day

Oh, if only we had

I don't care happy or sad

.

Just a minute longer

Just a little bit longer

A little bit

A little bit better

Just a minute longer

Oh, baby

Just a little bit longer

.

And I can't explain it

And I'm not complaining

If I'm happy or sad

If only we had

.

Oh, baby

If I'm happy or sad

Just a little bit...
