Colette awoke her head resting in Edward's lap
Colette awoke her head resting in Edward's lap. She opened her eyes with a quite groan. She noticed his beautiful face instantly her heart fluttered as a smile burst onto her face. What ever was just worrying her was lost as she gazed into his topaz eyes.
"Good morning." smiled Edward, as he brushed some of her hair from her face.
Colette sat staring at him as she allowed the memories from last night come back to her. After he told her he loved her he had explained more and more about his family and history. She could tell he left some parts out, but at least he was being fairly open about being a vampire.
"When are we leaving?" Edward asked, with an almost impatient tone.
Colette couldn't help, but to smile, "Really this isn't going to be very exciting, probably my dad will act all cold and my mom will cry a lot."
Edward shrugged, "I'll give you time to be human and get ready, I'll be back as soon as possible." He kissed the top of her head before slipping from beneath her. He eased her head to the soft bed as he stood. "Bye."
Colette watched him as he strode gracefully from her room, she watched transfixed by his perfection. In a giddy mood she grabbed her favorite pale green blouse and a pair of comfortable jeans and headed to the showers.
She stood in the stream of hot water allowing the water to take away some of the stress of the day. She could feel the smile that seemed to be now permanently glued to her face and she realized she barley stopped smiling now that Edward was around. The hot water was starting to cool and she knew by now Edward would be waiting which made her even more excited.
She jumped from the shower and slid into her clothes and wrapped her wet hair in her towel before hurrying back to her room. Of course he was already waiting there, looking perfect as usual.
"Am I to dressy?" he burst the second he saw her.
Colette for the first time looked at his clothes. He was wearing some very expensive looking grey slacks along with a black button down silk shirt. "No your perfect." She smiled, he could have been wearing rags of even a skirt and no one would have noticed because no one's eyes ever left his face.
Colette hurried to finish up. She brushed through her hair a few times before giving up and pulling it back into a high ponytail, she never bothered much with what she looked like. Looking into the mirror she sighed knowing she would always look horrible next to Edward.
"Okay let's go." She said turning to Edward deciding he looked good enough for the two of them.
The couple made its way hand in hand to Colette's car. Edward had always insisted on driving his car, and Colette had a pretty good reason why. Her car was only a few years old, a black ford pick-up truck, but compared to his shinny Volvo it looked like a piece of junk.
She made her way to the driver's seat as Edward hopped in through the passenger's door. He looked around her car intently taking in everything. Colette watched him guessing he was analyzing what he saw.
Colette started the car and took off down the road exiting the campus. Edward thought hard trying to think of everything he knew about her family. He settled on the fact that he knew nothing besides for the fact that her parents were divorcing.
He didn't know what her parents' names were, what they did for a living, or even a clue what they were like. He thought this very odd since she now knew so much about his own family, but he knew he would soon meet them for himself. Pleased by this thought he let his eyes wander back over the remainder of the car.
His eyes stopped on the extensive CD collection. He reached out to flip through it recognizing almost every single CD. Colette studied his interest in her music; he turned to look at her with a confused look on his face.
"You have so many CDs, but they don't seem to follow any genre or artist. They just seem like a random collection that's odd for most humans." He concluded.
Colette laughed, "Yes my taste is quite random." She allowed her eyes to briefly wander from the road to her many CDs, "I guess each CD or song reminds me of people in my life. Mostly my mother and you." She confided with Edward while blushing scarlet.
Edward longed to ask about her family, but every time he had tried before she got defensive or shy. Her family life was very private to her, as realized he had never even seen a picture of them. He sighed knowing better not to ask and get her upset.
Edward decided that if he couldn't ask about her family, but she knew so much about him, he would spend the next hour or so asking questions.
"So question time." He announced.
Colette groaned inwardly, "Do I have to answer?"
Edward laughed, "Of course. Since you seem to be so into music, we shall start there. Favorite type of music would be?"
"Don't have one. Just not rap, because you can't really understand them and there is no meaning. It's mostly about hooking up with hot chicks and pointless crap, so not rap. Music should be more emotional and have a real meaning like more classic rock or alternative."
"Okay," nodded Edward agreeing, "What CD reminds you of me?"
Colette moaned again, "Umm…" she paused thinking really hard, "Can't choose, cause every song about a guy or girl in love on any of those CDs would remind me of you. So that's like all of my collection."
"So you like the whole mushy romance music?" He teased.
"Yep, exactly." She blushed again, for no real reason.
"Favorite flower?" Edward asked, moving on to the next set of questions.
"Daisies." Colette answered taking time to think though each question.
And the questions went on and on. By the time Colette pulled onto her street Edward knew a lot about her. He had asked about favorite colors, best friends, high school, relationships, old pets, and several other things Colette found to me boring and pointless, but not once had Edward lost interest in her life.
Colette was happy to have a reason to stop answering questions as she pulled her pick-up into the driveway, "Were here."
Edward looked out the window studying the house, "There's a lovely old feel to it." He looked at the house; it looked like someone had spent a long time trying to make this newer house seem Victorian, it sort of reminded him of his home in Forks.
"Ugg," complained Colette, "My mother is obsessed with anything old fashioned. She always buying things that she doesn't need. She goes to all these yard sales and brings back all this junk that now clutters the whole house."
Edward laughed, "Well now I know something I can talk to her about. As you know I know a bit more about the 1900s than most living humans do."
Colette giggled and took Edward's hand and made her way around the house. As she walked up the path way she saw the front door swing open and her mother came running towards her arms out wide.
Bella froze horror stricken across her face, her mouth feel open and a strange almost choking sound came out. Colette watched as her mother shook her head wildly muttering crazily to herself about something that couldn't be happening. Colette felt Edward tense beneath her grip and he ripped his hand from hers. Edward starred in disbelief and took a few steps backward his whole body unmoving as a deep growl seemed to release from his throat. Colette was very confused as she watched her mother make a fool of herself and her boyfriend turn more inhuman and cold by the second.
Awkwardly Colette ripping her eyes from Edward finished the last few steps between her and her mother who she now realized was starting to cry very hard. Colette hugged her mother and attempted feebly to calm her down. Bella at this point was in complete hysterics and was practically shaking the life from her daughter. Colette stepped away from Bella and turned back towards Edward with a sorry look on her face.
Quickly Edward struggled to hide the pain and shock that must have been so obvious on his face. He disputed in his head weather or not to run far from this family or to stay and pretend he didn't recognize the aged Bella or maybe to forget all about Colette and grab Bella and just leave.
"Mom," Colette forced a fake smile as she looked at her mother, "Meet my boyfriend Edward, Edward meet my Mother Bella."
Colette was utterly surprised at what happened next. Edward stepped forward cautiously his hand raised to shake her hand, trying to act normal, but he tripped in a very un-Edward like fashion. Colette was partially laughing at him when she heard a bizarre thunk behind her. She turned to see her mother lying cold on the front lawn tears still streaming down her horror stricken face.
Byron came walking out from inside the house and looked around at all of them. He rolled his eyes at his unconscious ex-wife lying on the ground; and stepped past his daughter, who was now kneeling over Bella trying to figure out what was wrong, towards Edward. He grasped Edward's hand which was still awkwardly held out. "Hi, I'm Byron."
So how do we all like their reactions? Hope it was atleast half as good as what ppl wanted! And yes from reading all the comments, i know there are errors in my story, but if you read to deep or over analyze any story there will most likley be some sort of problem. So i tried to cover most ppls questions in this chapter. I'm sorry i didn't build up Edward's and Colette's relationship that much, but i figured that would just get boring after a bit. So if you have any question or problem about the story please comment or message me adn i will try to work it into the next chapter. thanks again for reading!
