I don't own Twilight
Chapter 10
BPOV
After falling asleep in Edward's arms again last night, I woke in the morning looking at a Greek god.
"Morning, love," His voice floated into my ears, making me want more.
"Morning, to yourself, you should go home to get ready for school."
"I am happy where I am right now." He said and tightened his hold around my waist.
"Well, I need to get to work, so run along home," he chuckled and sighed. He gently kissed my temple and worked his way down my cheek to the corner of my mouth. Just when I thought he was going to kiss me on the lips, he changed his direction and kissed along my throat. All the while, my heart feels like it is going to beat right out of my chest. My breathing became shallow and quick. He sighed once more and got up.
"Your right, I should go home and get ready, see you later," In the blink of an eye, he was gone and I wanted to kill him. I could never get enough of Edward's kisses and it really felt like he had left me hanging.
How I got from my apartment to the school I will never know. When I finally pulled myself out of my thoughts, I was behind my desk, looking at a blue velvet box. Of course there was a card.
Of the jewels and gems of the world,
There is only one that catches my eye
She can move, breathe, and
At times makes me think my heart can beat
So to my favorite gem in the world,
I hope you will take these gifts gracefully.
Your Secret Admirer
What the hell did that vampire get me? I was scared to open the box, what if there was jewelry inside? I picked up the box and slowly opened it, as if it was a bomb. When I fully opened it, I gasped. There was a necklace, a pair of earrings and a bracelet. The necklace had a chain that looked like silver and hanging from it was a crystal heart or what I hoped was crystal heart. The bracelet had 6 very small hearts and 1 heart that was larger than the rest with a silver chain connecting them all. The earrings had three hearts to each, but they were not at level with each other. The silver length got longer with the third heart having the longest length.
The first bell rang and I quickly put the bow away, but put the bracelet on. I would be nice enough and wear the bracelet. When Edward came in, he saw the bracelet and smiled the tiniest bit. Okay, now that I had made him happy, I can yell at him later.
"Hey, Miss Swan, I love your bracelet." commented Samantha, a girl in my class.
"Oh, thank you," I was not too sure how to respond because I did not what the girl thinking I got it from my 'secret' admirer and then ask if there was a card.
"Where it you get it," Damn it! Now some of the other girls in the class were looking at the bracelet, along with some guys.
"It was a gift,"
"Oh was it from your secret admirer? Was there another card?" this time a girl named Rachel asked.
"Yes," I sighed in defeat. How was I going to read the card in front to the class with that fourth line?
"Will you please read the card to the class, Miss Swan?" this time it was Edward who asked the question! Does he want the school to now something is up?
"I guess," The whole class yelled with victory.
I read the card over and the class seemed confused with the fourth and last line.
"What does he mean when he says 'and at times makes me think my heart can beat' and 'I hope you will take these gifts gracefully '"
"Well, there is a fact that you all don't know about," I said slowly
"What?" chorused the class.
"I know who the man is," I said calmly
"What!" shrieked half the class. Edward sat looking a bit smug.
"We dated for a few months back in high school before he had to move, it was only recently that he found me and wanted to be together again,"
"Do you like the guy?" Now a boy named Chris was asking the question.
"No, I don't like him, I love him, never dated anyone after he left." The class seemed shell shocked.
"I still don't understand what the poem meant." asked one of the students
"Well for the first part, he had always thought of himself cold, undeserving of love, and a monster, but he was one of the sweetest men I have ever met." I glanced back at Edward and saw that his face was soft and he was looking at me lovingly.
"As to the second part of the question, I have always hated receiving gifts for no reason and his family had a lot of money, so I tended to throw a fit every time he got me any type of gift." I admitted. The class laughed at this statement.
"Okay," I said to the class. "Enough about my love life, we have history to learn."
All throughout class, I would sneak looks at Edward and he would always be looking at me with the same look. His eyes would be soft and his mouth would have his crooked smile etched in. I got so lost from watching Edward and teaching class that I jumped into the air when the bell rang. I had expected him to leave, but when I looked up from my desk, he was still in the classroom.
"The six hearts on the bracelet is for each person in my family that will love you forever." He explained
"What about the largest heart?"
"That's my heart; it will always have the greatest amount of love for you, no matter what any other person in the world thinks." With that, he left the classroom.
EPOV
Well, Bella seemed to like the gifts. I of course knew that Bella was not going to wear the necklace or the earrings, but I had hoped she would wear the bracelet. It was so funny watching the class and the thoughts that went through their heads as Bella told them about her "secret" admirer. All the girls thought Bella was lucky to have such a sweet guy and the guys were thinking they had lost their chances with Bella. Like they ever had a chance. My heart was almost warm when Bella was describing me to the class.
There was one last gift I had to give to Bella and I was planning to give that to her tomorrow. At lunch I was going to go back to her classroom and give her an invitation to come see our new house today. I could already see Bella at the house, in my room, sitting on the sofa like we used to.
"Hey Edward!"Damn it!
"Yes, Ashley?"
"I was like wondering like if you would like go out with like me?" I never know so many 'likes' could be used in one sentence.
"Sorry, but I am not interested, I already have a girlfriend." When I turned away from the girl, I saw Bella leaning against a wall laughing. She had apparently heard my conversion with the girl.
"You have a girlfriend, Mr. Cullen?" Bella asked in a sweet tone.
"Yes, Miss. Swan, I do"
"Last time, I checked she never said yes," Laughing, she left me with my mouth hanging open.
Second hour was very annoying seeing how I knew all the information and I was a little surprised with what Bella had said. When the bell finally rang, I realized the torture was not over yet. Before I could make away, Katelyn cornered me.
"Hi, Edward!"
"Hello," I replied
"So I was wondering if you would want to go out on a date with me?" She asked as if she knew I was going to say yes.
"I already have a girlfriend,"
"I don't think she would mind if I had you for one night," she winked and I almost shuddered.
"She may not mind, but I do!" With that I again turned around to find Bella within range to listen to the conversion. She was laughing and shaking her head. I just walked past her to get to my fourth hour.
I was happy when I was finally released for lunch. My plan was to stay with my family for half of lunch and then go to Bella's classroom and give her the invitation. But my first part of lunch was not just with my family.
"Eeedddwaarrrdddd!" came a sickly sweet voice. God, I thought to myself. what did I do to you?
"Yes, Jordan?" I already knew what she was going to ask.
"Wanna go out sometime?"
"Jordan, I already have a girlfriend and no, I am not playing hard to get!" I stood angrily. These girls were not leaving me alone and this Jordan really thought I was playing hard to get! What an idiot! My siblings started laughing and I heard laughing behind me. I turned around to see Bella laughing her head off and trying to walking back to her classroom as quickly as possible.
I left the table and out of the cafeteria. I took the longer route to Bella's classroom so people would not think I was following her. I knocked on her door and she nodded, still slightly laughing, letting me come in.
"Hello, Bella,"
"Hi, Edward," She was still giggling.
"Esme wanted you to come to our house tonight. Will you come?"
"Yes, I will come. So Edward how was your day?"
"I believe you know that answer." I glared at her
"Doesn't it remind you of another day that was kind of like this?" she asked
After she said that comment, I remembered the day she was talking about. Then there was only one thought running through my head.
Karma is a bitch
For those who do not get it, Bella was asked to the dance three times in the same day. It would only seem fair for the same to happen to Edward(only this time there is not a dance). I want 27 reviews since I have 80 alerts and 27 should not be a problem.
