Nothing belongs to me but the plot.

I might mention that this story is slightly inspired in my love story, of course I changed some things and mine was nowhere near as interesting. He was my first love and it turned out that after some years the universe put it him in my path again. I always like telling our story.

What's your love story like?


Bella POV

"What do you mean he asked about me? When exactly did this happened? Repeat his exact same words. How long is he back? Does he look as hot as he did the last time? Stupid question, of course he does. Is he single?" I asked her, tripping over my own worlds. I couldn't believe it, ha had asked about me, about me!

"Jesus, calm down" She said "I bumped into him in the kitchen, he said hi and he asked how you were doing and if you were around. I don't know if he is single, but girl for your well being I hope he is, he looks mighty fine tonight"

"I cannot believe your luck Bella. You finally hook up with Alec and Edward shows up"

"Shut up Jessica"

After we exited the bathroom we headed for the kitchen, were Angela had last seen Edward but he was not there. We went to the living room were mostly everyone was. After 20 minutes of looking around for him I finally gave up, he probably had left. What would a college sophomore be doing in a high school party. Lame.

I decided to head outside, to Mike's back garden to take some air. I was sitting on a lounge chair with a beer in my hand when I heard his voice.

"What is with you and parties Isabella?" He whispered in my ear

"Hi Edward" I said looking up at him, and oh my, he was indeed hotter than last time. His hair was shorter and his face had lost it roundness, gone were the chubby cheeks of a boy and were replaced with a jawline and cheekbones to die for. His hair was still a mess and his eyes were still that crazy beautiful green color.

"How have you been?" He asked "Ready to say goodbye to Forks?"

"More than ready. I am heading to UCLA in autumn" I said peeling the label form my beer bottle

"Ah, California. Good choice. So, are you going for that restoring art career?" He remembered. Oh be still my heart

"You remembered" I said. Fuck, my face was on fire, I was probably blushing "Well, kind of. I'm going to study architecture, and after that I want to specialize in building restoration"

"I knew you wouldn't let me down with your decision" He said while winking. He then took a seat next to me, his knee bumping into mine.

"What about you? How's Harvard treating you? Law was it?"

"Yeah, well I compromised and I changed to Economy, a little more down my alley than Law, but I couldn't convince Senior to let me study literature. A total loss of time according to him" He said looking at his shoes "At least in economy I get to take some really interesting classes and I even managed to squeeze in some literature classes. Those are my favorites" He said with a glint in his eyes

"Oh Edward, I am so happy to hear that" I said, placing my hands on top of his. I think it was the first time we had ever touched and it was like an electric current ran through my veins

"Yeah, I am really happy right now"

We started talking about his classes, and he even promised to send me a list of books he had read all this time: He asked me about Forks, how was everyone doing, he even asked me about Jasper. We talked movies, books and he told me about his life in the east coast. I was fascinated by it. All this time I had forgotten how good he made me feel. He was just so intelligent, and cultured and polite and I wanted to be with him.

"So, how many broken hearts are you leaving behind Bella?" He asked, leaning back

"None" I smiled

"I do not believe that. Someone as pretty and as intelligent as you must be"

"Boys around here are not really interested in what you have to say, I've found out they actually prefer if you don't talk at all"

"Fools, they don't know what they are missing. It's an amazing world you have inside here" He said tapping my temple with his finger

"What about you? Are you seeing someone?" Please say no, please say no

"Actually I am. She's amazing, you would like her" I am pretty sure I wouldn't. I actually already hate her "Her name is Danielle, she's from Chicago. We met in a philosophy class this semester and I asked her out. I guess you could say she is my girlfriend" He looked really happy. Fuck, why does life hate me? I felt like crying

"There you are" And suddenly Alec appeared. Thank you God "I had been looking for you" He stood behind me and leaned down. He kissed my neck. Jesus.

"Hi, I am Edward Masen" Edward suddenly said while standing up straight and extending his hand out for a shake

"Alec Vulturi" Alec said while shaking is hand firmly "I have not see you around. Do you go to Oxford High?"

"Ah, not really. I graduated two years ago. I am back for a couple of weeks and I saw Bella and we started catching up" He smiled down at me "But I really should head home now, I am beat. See you later Bella. Nice meeting you Alec"

And as soon as he arrived he was gone.

"So, do you wanna go to my house?" Alec turned around and whispered huskily in my ear. Oh my, was that his tongue? "We would be alone, my grandma sleeps like the dead"

"Sure, lets go"

I was one week after the party and I had yet to see Edward again. I had taken any opportunity that presented itself to go out of the house, and I was conveniently nicely dressed. Just in case. Alec and I had started going out, kind of. And eve though we hadn't talked about it I would like to think we were exclusive, at least I was.

I was coming out of the salon after my mani and walking to my car at the mall parking lot when I heard him calling my name.

"Hey Bella!" Edward said while walking quickly my way. He was carrying a plastic bag and was sporting a casual look

"Oh hi!" I said when he reached me "What are you doing here?"

"I came to pick up some things for my mom from the dry-cleaning" He showed me said clothes "So, listen if you are not busy would you like to grab a coffee or something? I am leaving in a couple of days and it would be nice to hang out before I leave"

How could I say no to that?

"You lied to me" He said to me as soon as our coffee was placed in front of us "You said you would not leave any broken hearts here, but I am sure that blonde boy at the party will be heart broken at the end of the summer"

"Ah, dont be ridiculous" I blushed "That's Alec, we are nothing serious. Besides, he'll be going to Cali too. So technically I wont be leaving any broken hearts behind"

"Semantics"

We continued talking, and as usual we didn't run out of topics. He told me stories about his family. Even though he was an only child he had a quite large extended family and he was close to his grandparents. I told him a little about the Swan household, but I was more interested in listening. He then moved to the topic of Danielle and I felt my face fall, I tried to smile through the stories about her but I am sure I looked like the Joker or something equally horrible.

"Shit, it's 6:30 already I gotta run" I said gathering up my things and leaving money for my coffee on the table

"Don't worry, I'll get it" He said giving me back my money "It was nice seeing you. I like talking to you" He said standing up and standing in front of me

"I like talking to you too" I stood awkwardly, should I hug him? I wanted to. He answered for me. Next thing I new I was being held by him

"Until next time" He whispered in my ear


Still a long way to go folks. Be patient, they still need to grow up before they are ready for each other.

Yesterday I found an amazing story here. Check it out
