BPOV
Edward looked at me confused and hopeful.
"Hey" I breathed, pretending to be out of breath from running,
"Hey" His voice was horse like he hadn't spoke in a while, he continued "What are you doing here Bella, you ran away" He looked regretful and all I could here him thinking was how sorry he was. I decided to take the first step and I sat down next to him.
"You don't have to be sorry, you did nothing wrong." I stated, he'd know tomorrow anyway.
"Huh" To say he was confused was a understatement.
"Never mind, and I didn't runaway, I was just scared of rejection. You wont want me when you find out my secret" I sighed
"I'll always want you" We sat there in a comfortable silence until I decided I needed to say something,
"I'm sorry," We both said at the same time then laughed at our stupidity
"Ladies first" he said after recovering,
"I'm sorry, for not being truthful with you from the start, for not being able to stay away from you, even though its dangerous and I'm sorry for running away from like a coward instead of standing there accepting the scolding I deserved, I'm just sorry" I said, "Now you" I said curious to what he had to be sorry for,
"I'm sorry for accusing you for cheating, then letting you run away for me, I'm sorry for not listening to you when you said you were dangerous and I'm sorry for avoiding you like the plague and not confronting you about it" He said, our faces were now millimetres apart,
"Your forgiven," I breathed
"You to" He whispered back, we were seconds away from kissing when I heard Laurens nasally voice,
"You know Edward I wouldn't blame you for avoiding her like the plague since she carries it" Lauren sneered earning a laugh from her 'Crew', which had been watching the whole thing,
"Yeah" now Jessica was speaking to, "And Bella you should know that relationships don't work if you aren't always truthful" Jessica piped in, "And I wouldn't be surprised if she cheated, have you seen what she's wearing," I looked down to find I was wearing extremely tight black skinny jeans with red stilettos that matched the red blouse I was wearing, if I could be in tears now I would be. Edward saw I was getting upset and stood up looking up looking Lauren up and down,
"I wouldn't say anything Lauren, because if relationships don't work if your not truthful you'll obviously never be with anyone" He stated like it was the simplest thing on the earth, she ran of crying with her girls on her heels, not because of what he said but because of who said it. I smiled at Edward and grabbed his hand as we started to walk to our next lesson, he grinned at me.
"So are we like together now?" I asked hoping I didn't sound to forward.
"Well, miss Swan there is nothing I would like more" He smirked at me.
"Well then," I said "if were together I get to do this" I then leaned down like I was going to kiss him then moved to the side and kissed his cheek, then walked to my next lesson only turning around to shout
"Meet me outside gym after school" To which about half the male population of the school turned to me only to turn around disappointed when they saw Edward blow me a kiss. I was happy for the first time in weeks. However there was still that voice in the back of my mind reminded me about tomorrow.
After school Edward rode with me back to the Cullen household so I could pick everyone's outfits out to what I deemed as appropriate attire for where we were going. Edward and me talked about random things. Just life really. I found out his favourite colour was blue; he played the Piano and enjoyed just going for runs to think about things. He also listened to classical music much like me. We had the same favourite, which was Claire de Lune. However I keep modern rap junk in my car and he listens to Emmett's in his truck as he usually drives.
When we arrived at the Cullen's I was dragged off and forced to tell the whole story and how Edward stuck up for me. Alice and Rose both thought this was amazingly romantic.
I then walked to Rosalie's and Emmett's Room (yes they share a room) and picked their outfits. I decided the best place to show them would be in my meadow as the sun usually shines over half of it. However this would mean taking my jeep so far. Then hiking. They would probably think I'm mad.
Anyway I picked Rosalie some casual Jeans that looked the cheapest, as I didn't want to ruin any of her favourites, and a plain Dolce and Gobana t-shirt with a red Lipsy London jacket over the top. I picked Emmett dark blue jeans with a red t-shirt and black hoodie and similar for Jasper. For Alice I picked the same as Rose only replacing the Red jacket for her trademark pink.
Just as I finished Edward entered the room and placed his arm around my shoulder whispering in my ear "Do you want to come pick mine now" I let out a breath I didn't realise I'd been holding and replied by dragging him out of the room. I walked into his room following his scent to find it then breathed in his heavenly smell once 1 was in it. We stood there staring at each other for a moment until I decided I needed to get to work.
"Point me to the clothes" I said in a business like fashion.
"Yes M'am" He answered, his tone teasing slightly I grinned as he pointed me to a small wardrobe in the corner.
"Is this is?" I questioned, I found it odd that I had a wardrobe the size of his room.
"Well, yes errm Alice has some in her room that are mine, she disapproves of my lack of clothes though her collection isn't much bigger. I had noticed that although they wore designer clothes they didn't have many clothes. There rooms were also small and you could tell it was a little crowded in here at times.
"Its ok, its just you always were designer I just figured you have more" I said feeling like a snob but not really having a excuse to be surprised except for the amount of money and belongings I had. I continued "So I want casual but not scruffy, so how about these jeans, like Emmett and Jasper's with this tight blue t-shirt and this Hollister jumper?" I questioned, he looked puzzled so I showed him the clothes and he just nodded. I laid them on the back of his chair and walked over to his music collection which was tiny, might I add, and started flicking through them.
He stared at me and I turned to look at him. He gestured me towards him and just opened his arms. I fit perfectly.
"See, you fit perfectly, were meant to be together," He said to me and his words made my dead heart saw. I looked up and smiled. He played absently with my hair with one hand the other around my waist. I had my arms around his waist and my head on his chest. We stood like that for a while just enjoying each other's presence until Alice came barging in.
"Right, love birds break it up, Esme and Carlisle have agreed to come tomorrow and you need to come and pick there outfits, also dinner is ready, we assumed you would like to stay Bella" She laughed eyeing Edward's hold on me at the last part. Now how was I going to pretend to eat? This was a disaster in the making. Much to Edwards protest I walked across the hall to Esme and Carlisle room, quickly picking out there clothes before following Rosalie and Emmett downstairs.
I smelt the horrible roar ingredients and wrinkled my nose in disgust. How I hated human food. I found out the food was spaghetti bolognaise and sat down sheepishly next to Edward. Edward noticed my discomfort and kept his eye on me as I put a tiny mouthful into my mouth swallowing the disgusting food.
"This is lovely Esme" I complimented her as her and Carlisle joined us she thanked me and everyone was cramming there mouths with food even Rosalie who I had hardly ever seen eat. I placed some food in the napkin and only took bites when people were looking my way. I made an excuse for not eating much by saying I had a lot to eat a lunch. The only problem was, I was with Edward at lunch and he knew I didn't eat anything. He gave me a look that said we would talk about this later before carrying on with his meal. He obviously forgot this as the evening carried on without a hitch and I drove home partly dreading tomorrow partly looking forward to having everything out in the open.
