Please don't be a dream, please don't be a dream I chanted in my head over and over. I really couldn't believe he was here, in my bedroom, under his own free will too. I hadn't knocked him out and dragged him there myself. Although that thought did seem appealing, I'm sure Edward wouldn't say the same. But anyway, he was here.
God it would really suck if I woke up now. Damn what if I was dreaming? I would be soooo pissed!
As Edward's eyes trailed around my room looking at the things scattered around, I quickly pinched myself on the arm. Ow! I guess I'm not dreaming then.
Oh god it hit me, Edward cullen was in my room,.
I didn't know whether to jump up and down like a lunatic or be paranoid that someone was in my room looking through my stuff. I chose the later.
I had no clue what to do. It wasn't everyday a girl had the chance to have a their favourite fictional character in their room. Did I sit on my desk waiting for him to finish his wondering, did I sit on the bed, but what if he got the wrong idea, oh god I really hadn't thought this through.
My head was going a mile a minute until he rounded to face me.
" nice room!" he said. A just like that, I melted.
I couldn't help but smile as he sat nervously down on the corner of my bed, he seemed to be as nervous as me. Glad I wasn't the only one.
" thanks, I'm glad you like the theme!" I replied sitting down beside him.
He looked at confused.
I gestured to the bare walls.
" the just moved in look!" I said to collaborate.
He laughed shaking his head at me.
" becca your room is fine, I like it!" he said once he stopped laughing. Oh god I loved the sound of his laugh.
And just like that it wasn't awkward anymore.
" so what do you do for fun around here?" Edward asked, grabbing a cushion from my bed so he could fiddle with the frayed edges.
I shrugged.
" not a lot really, I don't really know anyone around here, so I don't know whats around. I like to walk a lot, it gives me time to think." I replied. God my life sounded so hetic.
He looked at me, gesturing for me to continue.
" I told you my family move around a lot, so its hard making friends really. I never get the chance to get to know them!" I said, really wanting to get off this conversation, yeah I really wanted him to know I had no social life, not.
He frowned again, like before, like he was in pain. He looked down to his hands, still messing with the frayed bits on my cushion.
" you must get frustrated with your parents, always moving around, it must get very tiresome" he said, looking down. He sighed, a small bittersweet smile on his lips.
" I guess I can relate to it. I love Carlisle and emse, but sometimes, I really wish we could stay in one area for more than a few years at a time. It gets tiresome to keep uprooting and make home somewhere else!" he said, looking up to meet my eyes.
I shrugged, not daring to drop my eyes from his.
" I guess we both have no choice!" I said. He frowned, looking away.
God how depressing was this moment. Congrats becca, you've officially ruined the mood.
I cleared my throat, getting his attention again.
" right, enough depressing thoughts, what do you say we watch a film or something. Might as well since we're missing school and all?" I said, getting up from the bed, and giving him a smirk.
He chuckled.
" becca haven't you heard it's healthy to ditch once in a while!" he said sitting back against the pillows putting his hands behind his head, getting comfortable.
Any comeback I had flew right out my head. Edward Cullen was lying on my bed, not only that, but on my side of the bed.
God how many times had I thought about the sight, I never thought I'd actually see it.
Christ becca breath I commanded myself.
I cleared my throat, finding it suddenly dry, looking to my feet, as I walked backwards towards my door.
He laughed when I bumped into my desk. Damn him.
" well I…uh…I'll go and get a drink or something…do you..uh…. Want anything?" I asked. God, I couldn't even speak properly, god how humiliating.
" I don't think you have the kind of drink I like!" he said, with a quirk of his eyebrow.
Duh! I wanted to slap myself.
He's a vampire, vampire's drink blood, which I'm certain mum didn't pick up from the shops when she last went food shopping.
A thought suddenly struck me.
" but you're different here. Maybe you can eat here, human stuff. I mean, you did pass out that first time, so that means you can sleep here too, not that you'd want to sleep here, because I snore and…oh god!"
How mortifying! I wanted the room to open up and swallow me.
Edward wasn't paying attention to my little rant, thank god, he was too busy in his own little world think of something.
" do you think I'm really human here?" he asked, looking up questioningly.
I shrugged biting my lip.
" you did bleed Edward, your eyes are green, I think you are!" I said seriously.
His eyes got a little tearful, and I wondered if I'd done something to upset him.
" maybe we should test it then!" he said, suddenly smiling.
I quickly made my way downstairs looking through the cupboards.
I was thankful mum and dad hadn't taken all the good stuff on their picnic.
Taking a plate, I filled it up full of junk and got Edward an apple from the fruit bowl. What? Its wasn't like I wouldn't share I just had to make sure he could stomach it first.
I popped in some popcorn too, nothing could beat it when you had a film on.
After the timer beeped, I quickly put it into a bowl and made my way up stairs to my room again.
Edward took one look at the junk food and made a face.
" you do know I have never eaten any of that before right?" he asked, eyeing it as though it would jump up and slap him.
I smiled, trying to act offended.
" who thinks it's for you anyhow? " I asked.
He rolled his eyes, before taking the plate from my hands placing it on my bed.
" pop corn too? How can you humans eat so much?" he asked more to himself than me.
I ignored him, making my way to my TV and DVD player to put on a film.
Twilight was out of the question. There was no way I'd be able to sit next to Edward and not drool over Robert Pattinson, no matter how much I wanted to.
Instead I put in a new film dad had bought me a while back, tropic thunder. Apparently it was meant to be really funny.
I made my way back to my bed, control in hand, and sat next down next to Edward again.
He was still looking at the plate of food in disgust.
" here, try this, it's the most healthy thing on the plate!" I said, placing the apple in his hands.
I watched fasinated as he brought it to his lips as he took a bite.
Of course I knew he could eat it, hello I did read twilight, but to actually watch it for myself, it was strange. I watched as he closed his eyes as e bit down on the apple skin.
I don't know what I was waiting for, I really had no clue. He probably thought I was a right weirdo, staring at him while he ate, but I couldn't bring my self to tear my eyes away from him.
" what do you think?" I asked, as he swallowed.
He licked his lips catching the juices from the apple.
" that's actually not bad!" he replied taking another bite.
" I don't think I'll need to hurl this up either!" he said around a mouthful.
Nice. I think I just lost my appetite!
" thanks for that piece of information!" I said, pushing my plate of food away.
He smiled sheepishly, before taking another bite.
I started the film and got more comfortable on the bed, trying to pay attention to the film. It didn't help to hear Edward munching on his apple right next to my ear.
" did you not want your food?" he asked quietly after a few minutes.
I shook my head, grabbing the pop corn from where I left it, starting on that. He quickly set to work on demolishing the sweets.
For someone who only ate animal blood he really was liking the junk food he had not so long ago turned his nose up at.
Half way through the film, I felt him move slightly closer to me, breaking my concentration on the film. Oh god, my body stiffened, I hope he hadn't noticed.
I could feel his breath on my cheek as he neared me, our shoulders bumping with the closeness.
Holy crap, do not pass out becca! I said to myself.
Yeah that wouldn't be embarrassing at all, much!
It was as if it was all in slow motion. He leaned over to me, I could feel my heart beating so fast….
His hand was moving closer, so close to mine, then….
" hey keep your hands off my pop corn mister!" I said.
The cheeky sod, he was stealing my pop corn.
He smiled placing the stolen pieces of popcorn into his mouth.
" mmmmm, this is as nice as it smells!" he commented.
" I always wondered what it would taste like for a human. It's like a sweet warm sugary taste, that melts in your mouth!" he said, trying another.
Jesus, I didn't know pop corn could be described any better than…well pop corn.
Edward quickly settled back down, so he was in reach of the bowl of pop corn on my lap.
I didn't mind.
It may have been the fact he had yet to move back to his side of the bed that I didn't mind.
In fact I didn't mind at all.
" so I guess I should be going!" Edward said.
We had been in my room for a while as we talked and watched a film together. God it was still too surreal to say it out loud, let alone in my head.
I tried not to pout, because really who does that?
" oh, I guess. The time's just gone so fast!" I said truthfully. It only seemed five minutes since he first arrived.
I chanced a look out of the window.
It was getting dark out.
" I don't want to interrupt anymore of your day!" he replied, shrugging on his shoes from the floor.
I sighed.
" I really don't mind, I like hanging out with you!" I said shyly as he met my eyes.
He smiled, a breath taking smile, that almost blew me away.
" I like hanging with you too Rebecca!" he replied his green eyes sparkling.
I stared at him, like the stalker I was becoming, trying to imprint the way he looked into my mind until I heard dad's car pulling up the driveway.
Damn! Why now?
Edward shifted on his feet.
" I guess I should go then, I'm sure you'll want to spend time with your family!" he said.
I really couldn't help it, I snorted, quickly my mouth with a hand.
How very lady like of me. How embarrassing!
Edward laughed in response. Yeah he probably thought I was a right idiot now.
" I'll take that as a no then!" he chuckled.
I groaned. God could this get any worse?
Dad called up to me letting me know they were all back.
" pumpkin, we're home!" he shouted up.
Seriously what was with him and nicknames?
I quickly ran to the door opening it an inch.
" kay dad be down in a sec!" I yelled back to him before shutting my door again.
I turned to see Edward still stood facing me. He looked a bit nervous now though.
" would it be rude to ask if…I could visit you again?" he asked.
I giggled. Yeah sue me, I giggled. What do you expect? You have your favourite fictional character ask you to hang out with them. Then see how you react.
" no of course not, I'd love that!" I replied, it was either that or jump across the bed and jump on him. I could really see him wanting to back if I did that. Not.
He smiled in response again. Damn, that boy could smile.
" goodnight Rebecca" he said, with a nod of his head, turning towards my wardrobe.
I watched as he moved out of sight before collapsing on my bed again, a huge smile on my face, butterflies threatening to escape my stomach.
" goodnight Edward!" I replied dreamily, knowing he'd hear me as the door shut.
