CHAPTER-10
Description: Neither Twilight or any of its characters does NOT belong to me.
I wrote this story a few years ago but didn't upload it in . My account on has this story with different character names. When I first started writing this story I was a cheese filled teenager so if you find something utterly cheesy that blame it on my teenage romance filled head. I'm not gonna change anything from the original story.
This chapter or this story has not gone through any Beta or pre reader. Mistakes are mine.
Now onto the story:-
~HEA~
It's been one whole week since Bella is in New York. Everyday she's blending more and more with people here. She got some great friends; Mike, Jessica, Emmett, Rosalie, Will and Ryan. Owen, her boss is also good with her.
It was Saturday, the day of the most awaited party. Rosalie and Emmett were going to announce something in this party. Rosalie seemed rather excited about that mysterious news. Bella had some idea but she kept it to herself and just kept giggling secretly.
Bella was getting ready for the party. The dress and shoes, sent by Alice were fitting perfectly on Bella. Alice and Lydia surely knew about her body size. Bella chuckled at the thought. Of course they knew. After they were the ones who shops for Bella's cloths since Bella herself doesn't like to shop.
After getting ready for the party, Bella went downstairs to check out the drinks and foods. Emmett was already there moving the furniture from one side to another. Mike was helping him.
"Hey guys." Bella greeted graciously.
They looked at her and smiled in reply. "Hey Bella, Looking good, huh?" Mike commented.
Bella smiled and thanked him. "Where is Rosalie and Jessica?" Bella asked looking around.
"There they are." Emmett said with a huge grin.
Rosalie and Jessica came downstairs talking about the party. Rosalie was wearing a red strapless dress and Jessica was in her leather shorts and black top. They smiled at Bella as soon as they saw her in the living room. Before they could comment each other, the door bell rang. Emmett went get the door.
In only half an hour, the house was full with guests. Bella was looking for Edward. But after a while, she thought he won't come. She sighed sadly.
Will noticed her sad expression and came to her and said "Bella let's go to the dance floor."
"I'm not in mood." Bella replied with a soft sad smile.
"No mood needed for dancing. Come on!"he dragged her to the dance floor.
On the dance floor, everyone was dancing and grinding against each other to some bad rap song. Bella smiled over at Will and silently thanked him for dragging her there against her will. He smiled back and nodded. They danced there for a while, shouting conversation over the music. Ryan came and shouted "Can I dance with my boyfriend?"
Bella smiled and shouted back "yes you can. Have fun."
Bella went out of the dance floor and headed towards the kitchen in search of something to drink. The smell of alcohol was strong in the kitchen. A couple was making out in the corner. Bella smiled watching them. She grabbed a drink and went out of the house to get some fresh air.
~HEA~
She leaned against the outside of the house, looked up and for the first time in years, admired the stars and the moon, marveling at how beautiful it really was. All these years, it was right over her head, night after night, and she never looked up to admire it.
She jumped startle as someone cleared their throat suddenly. Turning back her smile grew over, matching the person's.
"Edward!" she breathed.
He chuckled, "That's my name." He said in his deep boyish voice, advancing towards her. She laughed at his statement. "So enjoying the party?" He asked standing beside here. She nodded.
"Thought you wouldn't come…" Bella stated smiling shyly.
"Sorry I was late."
They started talking about different stuffs. Edward told her what he and his friends did last New Year eve and Christmas. Bella told him about how Alice used to go to parties and came back drank; how she fell in the swing during picnic; how they played pranks on Halloween.
"You guys seem like you have a lot of fun." He commented, smiling and looking at his hands.
She nodded, and smiled big, "Yeah, we really do. We're all really close." she laughed, "Well, you and your friends seem like you have a lot too."
He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck "Yeah. That's fun, you know. But...they are my friends; it's just that, we're not really close. We just go of around a lot and we never really have each other's backs if something goes down. It's more like every man for himself." He looked away, and she felt sympathy for him. He didn't know the joy of true friends.
"I would have your back, Edward." She blurted out, and then blushed.
He turned to stare at her, "Would you?" He asked curiously.
Bella nodded, "You deserve at least one friend who isn't a complete dick, right?"
He laughed, "Yeah, they do kind of suck, don't they?"
"Definitely." she nodded and it grew silent. She looked up back to the stars, the moon, almost full tonight, admiring them again. "It's so big." She whispered to herself, just low enough for her to hear it. She looked over at Edward quickly and then back at the sky when she realized he was still gazing at her, a small smile on his lips.
She stood up from the back porch and walked to the railing, leaning her fore-arms against it, to see the sky better. She heard Edward get up, too, and then he stood next to her, so close that she could feel his warmth on her arm, as his touched her softly, as he observed the sky with her.
"When I was little, my grandpa and I used to sit out on the back porch and he would name off every constellation in the sky to me. I used to tell him 'Someday, I'm going to ride a space shuttle to one of those stars, and your coming with me'." He chuckled, and for a reason unknown, his story touched her heart in some odd way. Tears collected in her eyes, and she swirled her head around to look at him, staring at the sky with a look of remembrance in his eyes. He looked at her and frowned,
"What's wrong?" He asked, and his finger glided along her cheek leaving a wet trail where he wiped away a stray tear. She shook her head and stared at him, searching his face, memorizing his lips, his jaw line, his nose and his beautiful green eyes. She didn't notice that more tears had fallen, but his fingers came out again and wiped away more tears from her face.
"What's wrong, Bella?" He whispered, mystified as she was. She truly didn't know. Maybe it was the story about his grandpa and him or maybe it was just him making her feel this way.
His fingers that wiped another tear away trailed down her cheek, to her chin, and his thumb stroked her chin softly, before he pulled her face to his and kissed it lightly, asking if she was okay with it. They pulled away by centimeters, and she could still feel his breath on her lips, fast and soft, before she pulled his face back to her. She didn't know what was she doing, why was she doing this and how? She felt his fingers trailing down her face, gently stroking her neck, running over her shoulders, up and down her arms, raising goose bumps on her skin, and she clutched him closer to her, deepening the kiss. They pulled away, and he gently laid his forehead upon her. Bella closed her eyes, soaking in the moment that just happened. She felt something in the kiss, and it stirred a large amount of butterflies in her stomach. She opened her eyes and smiled at Edward, his eyes still closed.
"Bella?" He asked, opening his eyes.
"Hmm?" she asked, staring into his eyes. She could look into them for days and never get tired of them. His eyes seemed to sparkle as he stared into her eyes,
"I know this is going to seem...weird. But, I was wondering if you would...be my girlfriend?" He smiled sheepishly. She felt her heart leap, and almost gasped at the joy that surged within her so suddenly.
"Yes!" she smiled and he chuckled, and brought her in for another kiss, lifting her up and setting her back down. As he set her on the ground, she laced out fingers together, and he examined their hands together, and looked back into her eyes, and smiled.
"I could get used to this." she smiled, and he nodded.
~HEA~
"Bella!" Rosalie yelled from inside.
"I'm in here." she replied yelling so that Rosalie could hear her. She came out and smiled watching Edward with Bella.
"The announcement. Don't you wanna know?" Rosalie asked excitedly. Bella nodded happily. "Then come in." Rosalie smiled and went inside.
Bella looked over Edward and said "let's go inside."
"It's late; my parents will shout if I don't get home." He said warily. She sighed, knowing that he had to leave.
She got on her tip toes and kissed him softly one more time, and looked at where his eyes were. "I really do love your eyes." she smiled and backed away,
"And I love yours." he smiled.
"See you on Monday?" She asked sadly.
"See you on Monday." He agreed, and went towards his car. Bella stood there till he disappeared with his car. She went inside with a soft smile as she bit on her lower lip.
Emmett and Rosalie was standing in front of everyone and announced "Guys, you must be wondering why this party is; then let us inform you all that right after graduation…Rosalie and I are going to get married." Everyone clapped and congratulate them. Everyone knew this was how this couple was going to end up.
~HEA~
After Rosalie, Emmett, Mike, Jessica and Bella were done cleaning the mess from the party, Mike left with Jessica. Emmett stayed. Bella winked at them and went to her room. She started writing her best friend about the party, since she was also very excited to know about this evening.
Bella wrote:
My dear lovely crazy Alice How was your day? And how's others? I know you're so excited to know about the party. Well let me tell you the most exciting news! Emmett and Rosalie had decided to get married right after graduation and they announced this news on this party.
Edward also joined today. You know what…I feel like I'm in love with him. I donno, I just feel like it…not sure if he feels the same or not. I got my first kiss today. He kissed me first. Wow. That was magic. He asked me to be his girlfriend and I said 'yes'.
Anyway, I'm so tired right now. Gonna get shower and then get some sleep. Bye honey. Good night Your scary Bella.
Bella took shower after that and again sat in front of her computer to check her mail knowing Alice wouldn't wait to reply. Sure enough Alice had replied. She wrote:
My dear scary, I'm so happy for you. Now let's hope that he loves you too. Jasper seems too busy with his concerts. He called only once after he left. Lydia is also very happy for you. ;-) Sorry, she was excited to know what happened next between you two. Take care and have fun with your new boyfriend. Love you and miss you. Yours ever Alice.
Bella smiled and blushed at the thought that Lydia knows. Suddenly her phone rang. She checked the caller id. It was Edward.
"Hello?" She said in a soft tone.
"Hey, missing you already." Edward lying on his bed keeping one hand behind his head.
"Me too." she blushed.
"Just wanted to say 'goodnight'" He whispered.
"Good night and sweet dreams."
"Same to you." and they hung up. They both smiled at the same time.
A/N: I enjoyed writing it. I hope you did too.
