I do not own twilight, or the characters, or the books, and I am not Robert Pattinson's girlfriend...I simply own this idea/plot for the story
READ
Thanks for the reviews...and this is a very long chapter..longest actually..and 14 pages...so you guys have got to give me something here...
Omg what the hell! How do these people just spring out of nowhere!
"Mike," I said wide eyed and surprised.
"Uh yeah hey Bella," he said confused probably by my reaction.
"Hey there my...boyfriend," I said tracing my finger over his chest.
I turned to look at Edward and noticed him watching looking back and forth at Mike and I.
"I'm so glad to see you...we're still on for our date tonight right," I said with my eyes wide.
"Uh..yeah I came to talk to you about that...so should I pick you up at 6pm..then," he said. I noticed he turned his eyes to Edward when he said the last part.
"Yes that would be prefect," I said a little too enthusiastically.
"OK great," he said. "Well I have to get to class but I'll see you later on," he said with a smile.
"Yup Bye," I said. Then gave him a hug. At first he stiffened, then hugged me back. We pulled part and he revealed a huge smile. I instantly felt bad for using him like this.
"Wow," I heard him whisper and leave. I watched him go and sighed.
I almost forgot Edward was there until I heard him clear his throat. "Yes," I said and turned to face him.
"Well don't you too look happy," he said with his eyebrow raised.
I nodded. "Well Mike seemed quite surprised by the hug..as if he didn't see it coming..the look people make when they have no clue what's going on," he said.
"I don't know what your talking about," I stated simply and tried not to blush.
"Uhmm," he said but didn't say anything else. "Well I guess I'll see you later," he said with a smile and left.
"Yeah," I replied and then wondered what he meant by see you later...was there a double meaning in that...or was he really going to see me later...?
This was confusing and I let the thought slide. It was no use to think about what Edward said.
"Interesting," said Alice as she curled my hair to get me ready for my date with Mike.
"Interesting," I repeated. "Thats all you can say?" I had told her about what had happened during my culinary class with Edward.
"Well what else do you want me to say?" She sighed. "This is typical of him...to chase the girl..he just has to get them all so this is just another challenge...well the only one all other girls just go for him, your giving him a run for his money." "Im glad...keep at it."
"Well I hope he gives up soon...and stops waisting his time."
"Bella...you would be worth it for a change, your smart, beautiful, funny, fun, with an actual personality and brain." "Your great, you just need to start believing that."
"Thanks Alice, quite the talk there," I said.
"Well if its worth anything, it was all true," she said. "Now come on and take a look, I'm done and if I do say so myself you look amazing," she said in a high pitched voice.
I turned to the mirror and smiled. "Wow, who knew?"
"I always did, your welcome."
"Thanks," I said and gave her tiny frame a hug.
"Mike should be here soon." I searched for my purse and found Alice had already gotten it ready, and with a pair of black flats in hand. "Your amazing," I said taking both the items.
"I know, well have fun on your date and i'll talk to you later, Jazzy and I are spending the night together so i'm not going to be here when you get back, but i'll see you in the morning."
"K go ahead, see yeah Alice," I waved her a goodbye as she left out the door. Now all I have to do was wait for Mike. He should be here in another five minutes.
I passed the time watching T.V and soon enough heard the doorbell ring. I took a deep breathe, put on a smile and opened the door. I imagined Mike standing at my door with a smile and maybe a flower in hand....but what I didn't expect was Edward with my vision which I couldn't deny was much better.
Instead of a flower, he held a bouquet of Lilly's in hand, with his gorgeous crooked smile that made my knees go weak. Was he really here...did I fall asleep...was I dreaming? I mentally shook my head.
"Surprise," he said.
"Edward!," I said completely surprised.
"You look great..wow," he said taking in my appearance.
"Thanks....now what the hell are you doing here...and where is Mike?" "Did you do something!"
"Why do you assume I did something?" "I did nothing, Mike simply could not make it tonight, he send his apologies, and these flowers. Well he sent you these weird flowers that were ugly, so I bought these instead, so I suppose these are from me then," he said with a smile.
"And you know he can't make it because?"
"Because, I ran into him and he told me to tell you," he stated simply.
"He told you.....to..tell me?," I asked. It wouldn't make sense for Mike to do that, considering the fact that he hated Edward.
"Edward what are you not telling me?"
He sighed, "Can't you just be happy that i'm here."
"Shallow much..I mean really don't you ever get tired of hearing your obnoxious voice all day?"
"Do you ever get tired of being so resistant?"
I glared at him and he did the same. "Edward."
"OK ok...he seemed a little irritated and I went over to ask him what was wrong and he said that something came up at home and that he wouldn't be able to make it to the date, so I offered to tell you and he agreed...is that such a bad thing?"
"No I guess not...," I said.
"OK then...well your all ready and I have nothing major to do...so why don't we spend some time together then?"
"Well," I started to say but he cut me off.
"I'll be on my best behavior, no sexual remarks, come on Bella..don't spoil the fun," then he put on the most intense look in his eyes...like dazzling me again. Thats when I knew I couldn't resist. Thats bad right?
"Err..ok," I said.
"Great," he replied enthusiastically. "Well here are your flowers."
"Thanks," I said and took then in to find a vase to put them in. I found one near the kitchen, filled some water and snuck them in. They looked so beautiful, lilly's were one of my favorites and I swooped down to smell them.
"They smell lovely right," I heard him say from behind me. I blushed, I didn't realize he was there.
I nodded. "Yeah their one of my favorite...after freesias," he said.
"Why freesias,?" I asked. I knew they weren't really that common, much less that a guy would know them by name.
"I..um, no reason just cause," he said. I hinted that he didn't exactly want to tell me, but I let it go. "Well If your done sniffing flowers...are you ready to go?"
"Yes...so where are we going?," I asked once we were out the door.
"Oh its a surprise," he said and led me to the campus grounds toward the parking lot. It was starting to get dark and I could see the sun getting ready to set. Altogether the sky was beautiful.
We neared the parking lot and he walked over to this amazing car. I stared in awe. "This is your car!"
He smiled, "More like my life," he replied.
"Iv'e never seen a car like this...wow." (picture on profile..the first car =))
"Yeah..I got it specially made..I clean it myself," he said sounding proud.
I faked a gasp, "You clean it yourself...my my...how amazing," I said sarcastically.
"Well I could ask my people to do it, but I need some quality time with my...child."
He opened the door and walked to my side to ope my door for me. "Well aren't you a gentlemen," I said.
"My mother did teach me to be a proper man."
"Then what happened to your personality?"
"Well I taught myself that," he said while I got into the car and he closed the door behind me. He then swiftly walked to the driver side and got in.
"So...what car did you total?"
He let out a chuckle. "Oh it was no where near as amazing as this. I don't use this car to race."
Well he defiantly loved this car...or cars in general. I wondered what he would think of my car back home. It was an old red chevy truck. Most people looked disgustedly at it, but I loved it. I defiantly saw myself in it. Sure it did't go more than 50 mph without wheezing but as long as it got me someplace, it was good for me.
"What are you thinking about," Edward asked once we were out of the campus grounds.
"Nothing really...just about my car back home and what you would think of it."
"Is it bad,?" he asked.
"Umm maybe to you."
"I see...what car is it."
"A truck."
He turned to look at me in an odd way. "What," I asked feeling self conscious.
"Nothing...its just that I can't picture you in a truck."
"Is that an insult?"
"No...i'm just stating my opinion."
"I see," I said. "So what no girls what to hang with you tonight?"
"I'm with the one who I want to be with," he said lightly. I blushed but looked at him and noticed he had a genuine smile and was staring at me.
"Oh...err..so where are we going exactly," I asked trying to change the topic to something else.
"Well your in England....so how about some sight seeing and dinner?"
"But its already 6:30..what are we supposed to see?"
"Things along the way," he said simply. "OK," I replied.
"If you look out the window you'll see the Palace of Westminster," Edward said while mimicking a tour guides voice. I laughed at his tone and looked out the window. The palace was beautiful. "Wow," I whispered.
"Yes its quite nice." I nodded. We continued driving and Edward showed me more sites.
"Are we far from the palace?," I asked.
"No...actually...we are just about to pass it," he said. I pressed my face eagerly to the window and tried to spot the castle. I heard him chuckle at my actions and ignored it. The car stopped at a stop light and I noticed people in other cars were staring at me. I slumped into the seat and Edward raised his eyes at me.
"What are you doing Bella?," he asked with a smile.
"People are like staring straight at us," I said.
"Silly Bella...my cars window is tinted black..they can't see through it."
"Oh," I said and sat back up. "Right I forgot."
"Bu that does brick up something else." I forgot about what this car will bring us."
"What do you mean by that?"
He sighed, "I mean everyone well most people know this car...know that it belongs to me...looks like you will be in the public eye today," he said the last part quietly.
"Wait wait...public eye," I squeaked. "As in...camera's..pictures...people...attention!"
"Yes that is what this means."
"But to make you feel better...there is the castle," he said pointing out my window. I followed his finger and my mouth literally dropped open! "This...is the castle...this is where you live!"
"Yup," he said.
"That...is..amazing," I said and he continued driving.
"Yeah...its big..I love it..but I like the college to."
"How big is your dorm?"
"About as big as yours...well bigger but I live by myself." "So here we are," he said and parked the car in front of a restaurant. Edward stepped out and walked over to open my door. I smiled when he offered his hand and I gladly took it. Right when we touched an electric current just shot through my arm...it wasn't like and actual shook but more of a passionate moment. It felt good.
We both paused as if we both had felt it...had he felt it? I came back to my senses and got out. He closed my door and started to lead me to the restaurant door. I looked up to see the name of the restaurant and read Bella Italia. How ironic?
We were almost to the door when flashes started coming and blinding my eyes. "Prince Edward..over here...who is that..current girlfriend..whats your name..sweetie!," Yelled the camera man.
I covered my eyes from the bright flashes as more and more people started coming an surrounding us. Edward tried shooing the crowd but it was no use. More questions kept being thrown out. I turned and my head bumped into Edward's chest.
"Over here...over here," the camera men kept yelling. "Is this your new girlfriend?," asked some guy.
"No she's just a friend," said Edward in an irritated voice.
"Well you both look to nice to be just friends...is this a date..how long have you been going out...what about your other girls...do they know..how is college?"
There were just so many questions and it was so overwhelming! "Alright come on...come on move out of the way..don't make us use force," said 3 guys dressed in black that looked like bouncers.
"We got your back Edward," said one of them. "Thanks Bob," said Edward and guided me into the restaurant. Once we were inside I let out a deep breathe, but then realized everyone was looking at us in the restaurant.
"Oh..not over then," I whispered.
"Im sorry about that Bella," said Edward quietly in my ear.
"Well I suppose this was unavoidable."
"Hello Prince Edward," said a waitress.
"Yes hi..can we get a table for two."
"Sure right this way," she said and lead us to a table. I got ready to sit down but Edward shook his head and I stopped.
"Umm is there any other place..like somewhere less...public," he said taking a look around at everyone who was looking at us.
"Oh yes sure no problem," she said and led us to and Edward acceptable table.
"Thank you," said Edward and we both sat down.
"Your welcome, i'm Sandy and i'll be your server, can I get you guys something to drink?," she asked. I liked her, at least she wasn't ogling and creeping on us.
"Bella," Edward asked.
"Oh um i'll have a coke," I said. "Make that two," said Edward.
"Sure no problem, here are your menus and i'll be back with your drinks," said Sandy and left.
"Well that was an experience," I said with a smile.
"Well I told you..and i'm sorry about that."
"Its alright...plus i'm guessing being friends with the royal family would have brought that sometime," I said.
"I suppose so..so tell me about yourself Bella."
I raised an eyebrow, "Well what do you want to know?," I asked truly curious as to why he had this sudden interest.
"You know..everything..your favorite color, sport, food,..you know?"
"Umm ok...well my favorite color is..green," then stopped talking and blushed. I realized my favorite color was not green, in fact it was blue except it all changed when I looked into Edward's eyes when I answered the question.
"What?," asked Edward.
"Nothing..nothing," I said. "So where was I..oh yes..um my favorite sport..well..," then started laughing.
"Why are you laughing," he asked.
"Its just that..sports is soo not my thing..i'm not very uncoordinated," I replied.
"Oh," he said. "Huh."
"What about you," I asked. "What's your favorite things?"
He took a deep breathe..., "Well...my favorite sport..is cricket."
"Hmm yes I have heard of that sport," I said and he chuckled.
"Umm I hope so."
"And...," said.
"And what?," he asked.
"Well what else about you, you said yourself that apparently I don't know anything about you...so.."
"Umm true I did say that," he said. "But ok..well my favorite food is sandwiches...you know I love those subs," he said.
"Well thats different," I said.
"Yup..and my favorite color is....," he hesitated.
"You can tell me...i'll still think your a man," I said thinking maybe he was embarrassed.
"Brown," he said.
I raised my eyebrow...., "Brown," I repeated." "Why brown?"
"Because...brown's nice," he said.
"Brown's nice?"
He nodded. "Is there another reason,?" I asked. "I mean who likes brown...no offense but its kinda ugly..."
"Hmm well thats your opinion..but on some people it looks amazing," he said staring into my eyes.
"Uh...people?," I asked unsure what he meant.
"Your eyes are brown," he said.
I was speechless...he seemed like he truly meant it..it wasn't like before when he was mocking me.
We just sat there staring at each other until Sandy came back with our drinks. "Well here you are and have you guys decided on what you want to eat?"
"Bella," said Edward. "Umm I looked down to the menu and picked the first thing my eyes laid eyes on. "Spinach ravioli," I said. She nodded and Edward ordered some pasta.
She left us again and we were both quite. Edward asked me more questions about myself and soon dinner was over. We ordered some dessert and headed out. Thankfully the press had died down and the body guards led us to the car.
Edward like a gentlemen opened my door again and then started to drive back. It was 9:30 and we spent the time listening to music. Edward had taste like mine. Something I didn't expect either.
We arrived back at the campus and we walked back to my dorm. It was silent but it wasn't an awkward silence. I liked this Edward and I wondered how much of this was the real him.
We got to my door and I looked for my keys. I unlocked the door and turned to face him.
"Edward...at first I thought this wouldn't be a good idea...but tonight was nice...you were nice."
"Well its nice to know you think i'm...nice," he said with a smirk.
"Oh don't go back to being a jerk now," I said and playfully slapped his arm.
He chuckled, "Alright...I'm back to being sweet," he said still smiling.
"How much of this was real Edward," I asked.
He looked deeply at me. "How much ever you want it to be," he said. I frowned...that wasn't the answer I was looking for. He sighed, "Bella...i'm just kidding...it was all real," he said and bent down to kiss my cheek.
"Goodnight Bella," he said and turned to leave. I stared after him, and when he disappeared I lifted my hand to touch the spot where his lips touched my cheek. It tingled and I smiled. I closed the door behind me and sighed. I changed and got into bed and drifted to sleep.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!"
I immediately woke up with a start and looked into Alice's and Rose's eyes.
"Omg guys...what," I said. "Omg am I late..oh god!," I said and jumped out of bed and gathered my things for a shower.
Great I was going to be late...no no no!
"Bella no not that...would you like to explain this!," Alice said and threw a news paper down on my bed. Confused, I picked it up and gasped at the headlines.
It read... PRINCE EDWARD'S NEW GIRLFRIEND
I looked down at the article and saw a picture of us together.....KISSING!
so you guys gotta give me something here....
