Bella's POV:
I woke up to a knocking at my door. Great, I was just having the best dream of my life: Edward's & mine wedding day. I was in pure bliss.
I looked at the clock. 8:23. I figured it was Alice, "Alice, give me a break. I'll talk to you later," I said while answering my door to see Edward Cullen waiting in all his glory. He must be a morning person. It's way too early for me to resist ANY kind of dazzling.
"Might I say, you look LOVELY this morning!" he said all bright and shiny with a smile. I didn't even want to know what my hair looked like.
I grumbled in response and narrowed my eyes at him.
"I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" he questioned, knowing very well the answer to that question.
"As if you didn't already know," I mumbled, knowing he'd hear me.
"Silly Bella! I'm taking you to breakfast! After all it is a LOVELY Sunday morning!" he exclaimed. I really can't take bright and shiny Edward right now.
"Leave me alone," I muttered, while attempting to shut the door and get back in bed.
Of course, he stopped the door, but I continued getting back in bed.
"You don't mean it, Bella. I know you," he said adding a crooked smile.
Ugh! He just had to. I'm going to resist though! You can do it, Bella. Don't let him see your weakness! I hope this pep talk will work…
"Try me," I said putting the covers up to cover my face.
Of course with Edward Cullen strength, he pulled them down easily. "Here's an idea. How about you go get ready and then we can do whatever you want? Doesn't that sound great??" he soon saw that I wasn't responding and decided to go for the pout, which I had the tendency to succumb to.
"Come on, Bella. Please, please, please," he looked like a 7 year old. A very cute 7 year old.
He soon let out his lower lip in full out pout form.
"Fine," I responded.
"Good," he responded satisfied with a smile, "Now go get dressed and I'll wait here."
"Wait a second, this is my room and I think I have the right to get dressed in here and you can wait in the hallway, Mr. Cullen," I said finally lucid enough to speak full coherent sentences.
I changed out of my pajamas into jeans and a t-shirt. I brushed my teeth and brushed through my mane of hair before putting it into a pony tail. Lastly, I put on my tennis shoes before leaving the my room.
"There she is!" Edward shouted.
I stared at him and began walking away. He will feel a bit of the wrath that comes from waking Bella Swan up so early in the morning.
"Oh, come on, Bella!" he shouted down the hall. I just started walking faster. He began jogging down to me. I got about halfway to the exit of the dorms before he stopped me.
"Bella, please. I'm sorry for waking you up," he said, before continuing, "Will you EVER be able to forgive me?" he asked with a hopeful smile.
I could never really stay mad at him. Truth is I was looking forward to today from when I saw it was him at my door.
"I suppose," I replied coolly.
"OH YES, THANK YOU, BELLA," he shouted, faking extreme gratitude, as he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
"Edward! Put me down this instant!" I shouted, laughing while throwing my fists to his back, attempting to hurt him, even though it was fruitless.
"Ouch, Bella, that REALLY hurt," he responded, putting me down.
We both just laughed.
"Are you ready to finally get out of this dorm?" Edward questioned.
"Alright," I responded.
Edward grabbed my hand and we began our exit. The feeling of my small hands in his big warm hands was heaven. Wow. I'm such an idiot! I'm thinking about how good his hands feel.
I continued thinking about this until I realized we stopped walking and Edward was just staring at me, as I debated with myself about hands. HANDS!
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing, just wondering what goes on in that cute little head of yours, Swan," he replied.
I rolled my eyes. "Let's get going, Sir Knight," I replied.
We walked a little bit further and I soon asked, "Where are we going anyways?"
"Well, if memory serves me right, I remember saying you had the choice since I woke you from your beauty sleep," he responded.
"Well, I have no idea then. How about we just go where you were planning on taking me?" I stated.
"Your wish is my command, my lady," he responded with a smile.
I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. We were both moving our heads slightly closer together. Our lips were about a centimeter apart. This is it. Edward Cullen and I were about to have our first kiss.
Of course, as soon as it was about to get good, a football was thrown at Edward's back, by none other than his older brother, Emmett.
Edward muttered something incoherently under his breath.
"Oh! I'm sorry, little bro, did I interrupt a little pow wow or something?" Emmett questioned with fake shock.
I blushed before laughing.
"NOPE, EMMETT. NOTHING AT ALL," Edward responded sarcastically, that only made me laugh harder.
"OH! You must be Bella! Eddie over here has told me SO much about you!" he said before giving me a bone crushing hug.
"Hi, Emmett, nice to meet you too, but I can't really breath," I muttered out of breath.
He chuckled loudly and set me down.
Edward gave me an apologetic smile before putting a protective arm around my waist. It seemed a little uncalled for, not that I'm going to argue with it. Emmett seems just like a big teddy bear to me. He was awfully funny.
"Little bro, before you get busy again with Miss Swan over here," he said. I blushed again. "I need to inform you that our dear mother and stepfather will be making their appearance on this lovely campus tomorrow for the week." Edward's parents are coming to town? No wonder he's taking me out today. It's way too early to meet the parents; I mean I'm not even sure what we are.
"Right, I almost forgot, well I should be taking Bella back to her dorm. I'll see you tomorrow at practice right, Em?" Edward replied.
"Definitely, bro. Another big game next week against Notre Dame. Mom and Dad will be excited for a rival game. I'll see ya. Nice to FINALLY meet you, Bella," he said before giving me another bone crushing hug. That'll take some getting used to.
I laughed and hugged him back, "You too, Emmett."
Once I was let go, Edward grabbed my hand and we began our way back my dorm.
Edward took me to my dorm door and said, "Well, today didn't go quite as I planned."
"Aw, I really liked meeting your brother, he's quite the character," I said with a smile.
"Indeed. Bella, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner with the family and me tomorrow night. You can meet my parents," he stated.
"I'd love to," I said.
"Well, I guess I should get going, I'll pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow," he said.
"Sounds good, see you tomorrow," I said.
He smiled and looked into my eyes again before lightly pressing his lips to mine. It was light, but magnificent, none the less. We continued kissing for a little while, kisses becoming a little more urgent.
We stopped too soon, when we were both out of breath. I smiled at him and blushed.
"Night, Bella," he said before kissing me once more on the lips and leaving.
I went into my dorm. My lips were still tingling from the feeling of having his lips on them earlier.
Oh boy, was I falling hard.
I saw that my answering machine was blinking.
I pressed play, "ISABELLA SWAN! Alice Cullen, here, I can't believe we haven't talked about your date with my brother last night! I'm shocked and appalled! We MUST, MUST, MUST have this important discussion STAT and guess when we're going to have it … that's right! We're going shopping tomorrow and you're going to tell me ALL about it! I hope you're happy…I come by to see you today and you're not even in your dorm room and you...just…UGH! Bella! I'm picking you up tomorrow at noon for the mall and you're going to have a great time, as punishment for refraining such important information from your best friend, namely, ME!" She said best friend. I have a real best friend! "Okay, I'm ranting now, so I'm going to stop, but just so you know I'm not really mad…and there I go ranting again. I'm going to stop, ok? Okay. I LOVE YOU! I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR OUR SHOPPING EXTRAVAGANZA!" she ended this with her classic Alice sing-song voice.
After this intriguing message, I got ready to go to bed.
Tomorrow should be extremely interesting.
