Thanks for all the reviews and story alerts…sorry I'm taking so long to update I've just been really tired and busy and I have been getting a lot more school work……and for some people who are wondering this story is based on a movie but many things are different to it takes me more time to figure out what I want to do and what I want to happen in the chapters….so enjoy and remember to review…
Well I couldn't call it a car…that would have been an understatement……
It was sleek black…2 doors…amazingly gorgeous….and from what I do know about cars….that was an Austin Martin Vanquish.
Edward must have caught me looking….admiringly…
"Wow," was all I said.
"Edward…is that…yours?"
"No Bella there is just some random Vanquish…sitting in your drive way….and somehow I have the keys," he said chuckling.
I blushed….of course it was his.
He opened the door for me and I got in.
Then he closed the door and walked to the driver's side.
The inside was even nicer and it smelled just like a new car.
Edward got in and started the engine…it came to life very smoothly.
"Well I thought it would be a good idea if we arrived in a more suitable car," Edward said.
I looked over at him…. "Well we couldn't show up in the Volvo," he replied.
"Oh right….but you didn't have to go into all this trouble Edward."
"When did you get this car anyway…?"
"Well I've had it for a while…my parents got it for me 2 years ago….I don't take it out much…only for special occasions."
Special occasions, I thought.
"So where is this party," he said.
I searched through my purse and found the invitation.
He chuckled looking at the card.
"What," I said.
"Nothing…it's just that…at the bottom it says…our guest of honor shall be the one and only Edward Cullen."
I smiled… "Yeah Mike didn't quite tell me that."
"Well Bella I'm quite happy I will be escorting you…you look beautiful," he said staring straight into my eyes.
I knew I was probably blushing 10 different shades of red at the moment.
"Yeah well….I didn't do this all by myself," I said.
He looked at me with confusion… "Your sister helped," I said smiling.
"Of course she did…she picked out my outfit too," he said with a grin.
"Though I do give her props…she did well…though I didn't think you needed all that makeup…you look amazing no matter what."
I blushed…again…I had a feeling this was going to happen a lot tonight…great.
I hadn't noticed we had pulled up to the party…
Edward drove toward the valet parking and parked.
I could see a lot of camera flashes going off and I guessed we were standing out…since we were driving in an Vanquish...though I was glad that the windows were darkly tinted…I didn't want people to see me ……..yet.
Edward parked the car and turned to look at me.
"Ready," he said.
I nodded and he opened his side of the car and walked to mine and opened the door for me.
I took his hand and got out.
He gave my hand a gentle squeeze and then we started getting bombarded with tons of people.
Most people were people I didn't seem to recognize…and that scared me…they must have been all the top people in Hollywood…did they know who Edward was and what he looked like.
Well since no one had said anything it was safe.
"Ahh Mr. Cullen," said a tall man…that looked to be in his 40's said while sticking his hand out for Edward to shake.
"It's nice to see you," the man said.
Edward shook his hand and smiled… "Yes it's nice to see you too," he said.
Then the man looked at me… "Well you must be Miss Swan…you are looking very gorgeous tonight…Mr. Cullen here is very lucky."
"Yes I am," said Edward smiling at me with his amazing crooked smile…I almost fainted.
"Thank you," I said to the man.
The same thing happened with another 7 people and I was in complete awe that they all thought this Edward was Edward Cullen…did people really not know what he looked like…weird, I thought.
Through the whole time Edward never let go of my hand…which I didn't mind.
Then I saw Mike walk up to us.
I squeezed Edward's hand ad he looked at me.
"Umm Edward…that's Mike," I said pointing to Mike who was walking towards us.
"Hmm so that's Mike huh," he said smiling.
"Yupp"
"Bella," said Mike giving me a hug… "You look great."
"And this must be the famous Edward Cullen," he said bring his hand up for Edward to shake.
Edward took it and replied… "Yes I'm Edward…in the flesh."
"It's great to see you and we have heard so much about you from Bella here," Mike said.
"And thank you for coming…Bella said that you might not have been able to make it."
Curse Mike…I thought to myself.
"Oh," said Edward…. "Well I simply had to come and see Bella…coworkers...and meet everyone."
Wow he sounded so convincing and confident.
You couldn't pick out any hint of lying…at all.
A waiter had come up to us with a tray of drinks…I picked up some wine and so did Edward and Mike.
I noticed everyone's eyes were on Edward…I had butterflies in my stomach.
Edward must have sensed my unease and gave my hand a squeeze.
I saw Jessica and Angela at the other side of the room and Jessica mentioned for me to come over to her.
Some other people had come and joined Mike and Edward and they were having a conversation so I excused myself and walked over to Jessica and Angela.
They smiled when I walked up to them.
"Wow Bella…he's even hotter in person," said Jessica.
Wait did she say in person….has she seen Edward Cullen….????
"Yeah he's so hot and handsome," said Angela.
"You guys look great together," Angela said.
"Umm yeah," I said taking a sip of my wine.
"Is he a good kisser," asked Jessica.
I almost spit the sip of wine I took out…I hadn't expected that question.
I blushed…. "Omg he is," said Jessica laughing…. "Your expression says it all."
I forced a smile… "Yeah he's…a great….kisser."
They both giggled.
It was time for dinner and everyone was making their way to their tables…I didn't know where I had to go and started walking around looking for Edward.
I looked up searching for his bronze hair but couldn't see him then I felt something tug my foot and I started to slip…oh boy I thought…heading towards the ground.
Just then I felt someone grab my waist and pull me back up.
I didn't have to look to know who it was…
"Thanks Edward…," I said.
"Oh Bella," he said smiling.
"Come on"…he said taking my hand.
We walked over to our table with 5 other people including Mike and sat down next to each other.
The waiters had placed our food in front of us and we all began eating…
Some people engaged Edward in a conversation and I quietly listened and ate.
When we all were done and we ate our desserts two old women in their 40's came up to Edward.
Edward politely greeted them.
He is such a gentlemen…
"Hello Mr. Cullen we are from the St. Jude's Children hospital and we would like to ask you if you would like to make a donation," they said.
Edward smiled at them… "Sure I would love to," he said.
My eyes widened…
He took out a pen from his suit and a…check book…what the…who carries around a check book…
"Alright and the check goes out to St. Jude's right," asked Edward.
"Yes," said one of the old ladies.
"OK", he said…I looked at the amount he wrote and my mouth fell open.
He wrote a check for 7 thousand dollars….
"Here you go," he said handing the check to the women.
They thanked him and walked away…
"That was….nice," I said.
He smiled… "Yeah…it was for a good cause."
After that we all said goodbye and Edward and I walked over to the car.
He once gain opened the door for me and I got in.
The minute we started driving I took my shoes off…I hoped he didn't mind.
"Sorry Edward but these shoes…they need to go…"
He chuckled… "I understand," he said.
"That party was fun," he said.
I scoffed… "All I could think about was how people didn't even know who the heck you really were," I said.
He started hysterically laughing…
"What," I said.
He controlled the laughter enough to speak… "Oh nothing…nothing…"
"Edward tell me," I said.
"It's nothing…I was just thinking about something else…that was funny."
It felt like I was missing some sort of inside joke…but I decided to just let it go.
We arrived at my house and Edward walked me to the door.
It was 12:30 yet I didn't feel so tired.
"Thanks Edward…for everything…"
"Don't worry about it Bella…it was my pleasure."
"Will I see you tomorrow," I asked him.
"Yeah…we could go out somewhere," he said.
I smiled… "Good"
He chuckled… "Good night Edward," I said.
"Good night Bella," he said.
He hesitated for a minute…then slowly bent down.
My heart sped up….
And I gulped…he looked me in the eyes…
His lips were so close….my lips parted…slowly he kissed me…
It was soft and sweet…and he put his hand to my neck…all too soon he pulled away.
"Goodnight Bella"…he whispered….I nodded.
(I really wanted to end it here but I figured I couldn't do that so I wrote more…plus I did promise she would find out…though I can't find a way to make it happen.) So go and read the next chapter…and remember to please review =)
