A/N: Hello! This chapter is about Bella driving to meet with Cullens with Edward
Oh, and by the way... REVIEW! IF YOU DON'T, I WILL DISCONTINUE THIS STORY!!! (DUH DUH DUM!)
Bella's POV
So, Daddy gave me a million dollar budget, which sucked once I found a totally awesome condo for 1.5 mil, but whatev. I ended up getting the cutest little mini-mansion in Boston for myself! The Cullens had to move there to to keep an eye on me and help and junk, and bought a house (not as big as mine of course) by a forest, for "hunting" and "hiking" and "killing animals for their blood". I was totally bummed when I learned that I couldn't live at my mini-mansion until I was "trained". It really sucked because hadn't actually been in it. Edward's sister Alice (who I had never officially met) went and took detailed pictures, because apparently I was still untrained and undisciplined. What was I, a puppy?
"Bella, it's time to go. Hurry up!" Edward called me through the window. It was night-time and we were leaving through the window (because they were afraid my vampish instincts would be triggered around people) and by now (if I was human) I would be applying my mocha-cucumber-mango-melon-coconut-sweet pea-rasberry-lime facial clensing mask with replenishing bursting beads and picking out an outfit for tomorrow. Ah, the simple life.
"Hold on! Don't get your panties in a bunch!" I said. I had none of my stuff. Daddy would be Fed-Exing them to me soon along with my Audi. To my mansion. Where I could not go. So, Edward would pick it up for me. Good thing he had super-strength! A car, 75 totes and purses, 10 suitcases and 15 carry-ons filled with clothes, make-up, and shoes? Not to mention all of my toiletries? There was no way HUMANLY possible.
"'Panties in a bunch'?" he said glaring at me as I climbed (more graceful than ever before) through the window.
"Panties, boxers, briefs... whatever!" I said with my hands on my hips.
"But honestly? 'Panties' is such a girl word. And boys do not wear 'panties'." He spoke very seriously.
"If it's such a 'girl word' stop saying it so much. Or...do you enjoy talking about my panties?" I said with a smile and a giggle. He gasped in fake shock.
"And since when were we talking about your panties? I thought we were on a general pantie-line of discussion here!" he said. I laughed hard. "What?" he said smiling.
"You said pantie line!" I burst out laughing. He joined in too, and we laughed all the way to his shiney silver volvo. I loved how comfortable we had grown to each other. We were friends, and I respected that friendship. Just not as much I would have loved and respected a relationship. "Where are we going again?" I asked tilting my head.
"I've told you 10 before. We're driving to Boston." he said. He gave a look like 'how dumb can she be?'.
"Oh." I responded. "WAIT! All the way to Boston!!! How long will that take?" I was freaking out. When it came to long car rides, I used to bridge on claustraphobia. I couldn't stay in a car for more than like, an hour at a time. I struggled to find a good excuse for a stopping. "And... I'm getting... thirsty!" I stared at him harshly. Only then did I realize that I actually was thirsty. I had been repressing it for a long time. I began to feel an ache in the back of my throat a few days ago, and it had been turning into a burning itch. But I was too busy talking to Edward, and looking at Edward and "dreaming" and thinking about dating Edward. It was destracting me.
"Well... that's a different matter than." His voice was even and way too calm for me. Like, wasn't this a big deal? Wasn't this why I was being denied human contact? "Actually, I'm surprised you lasted this long. I thought I'd have to take you way sooner. You already seem to have some self control. Maybe it won't take so long." he kept his eyes on the road.
"Well I would hope not. I have a life to go back to." I said this without thinking. I realized I had no idea what I was going to do after the Cullens trained me. Where would I go? Edward spoke then
"You know, you'll probably still be able to travel with us... if you want." I turned to him. He couldn't read my mind, right?
"Oh. Thanks. That's really nice of you." I smiled to myself. And in that instant I knew, I wasn't just waiting to date him.And I didn't just want ot date him because he was cute.
I knew, I was really falling in love with him
Edward's POV
"Your welcome." I said. I was really begining to like Bella and ina way, I wanted her to come with us, not just for her comfort, because really I would hate to be a vampire all alone.But I also wanted her to come becaue she was sweet and nice and funny. And often I found myself thinking about her alot. A week ago, I had gne hunting with Alice and Jasper and Emmett and Rosalie, and even after I had killed a large and irritated mountain lion, I was thinking 'I wonder how Bella's doing. I should go and see her after this.' Of course I did and we talked. Just about random things. It felt nice. I was never really a happy person before. I was accepting of my immortal life, but I wasn't content. Now I was. And a part of me was glad that I had changed her.
And as each day went by, I found myself falling for her.
A/N: Aww! Ain't that sweet!? Now... REVIEW!
