YES my friends I have the internet back, so I will be updating as much as your little hearts desire! ...well maybe not that much but you know! =] wahooo... exciting lol
[: Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man :]
My alarm buzzed too loudly at the side of my head. I had had a dreamless sleep last night, and in a way I was glad. I had time to reflect on the chat with Edward once he dropped me off. But nothing that he said changed anything, it just made me like him even more. He was so interesting and exciting. He had asked if anything he had said scared me, or made me think otherwise. I think that when I answered no, he felt defeated. Like the whole point of the chat was to knock some sense into me, really I should have warned him that he was doomed before he even started.
I didn't want to get ahead of myself and end up getting hurt. But the way Edward seemed to value my safety, and constantly look out for me, made it seem his feelings were a lot stronger than I originally thought. He painted this picture of himself, as a miscreant blood drinking vampire, who's mood changed at the drop of a hat. You get on the wrong side of him, you loose a limb. Yet he couldn't see that I already knew it was just a big façade, I saw through his act and I'm glad I did. Because I was finally ready to admit to myself, that I was totally and irrevocably in love with him.
Today I was going to meet his family, and out of all the things in my life that could put butterflies the size of birds in my stomach, this was the only thing that did. What if they didn't like me? Or maybe they would get mad at Edward for involving me in their lives, the clumsy human sticking her nose into other peoples business. Edward had assured me everything would be fine, and his family were more than happy to be introduced to me. But the birds were kicking up a frenzy and I wasn't sure just how to get rid of them.
He sped down the winding roads always too fast, and it seemed we were heading out of town.
''So the only thing that bothers you is the fact they might not like you? Not that your entering a vampires home, and you will be surrounded by seven blood drinking creatures'' He almost growled the words, and I could tell my sense of self preservation wasn't quite up to his standard.
''I know you wont let any harm come to me. And if your family is half as nice as you, I know they wont either'' He smiled at that.
Taking a sharp left turn we ended up driving down a narrow path in the tree's. The branches arched over the road and seemed unnaturally shaped. Like a gardener regularly tended to them.
We came into a wide open space and I was awestruck at what was before me.
''Oh my goodness'' I leant forwards peering out of the windscreen.
A huge mansion like house sat in what seemed to be a meadow. Colourful wild flowers scattered around the lawn and hanging baskets hung around the pale wooden house. He stopped in front of the massive garage and opened my door at the same time that he cut the engine.
''This place... its amazing'' I could faintly hear the running of water close by.
He guided me up the steps a small smile playing on his face. I stared at the house, half the left side was completely glass, looking out into the forest. Tall double doors stood at the front of the house, the wood in the centre was carved into an old fashioned bouquet.
''Are you ready?'' He smiled showing his teeth, and I could feel the blush creeping onto my face. I nodded once, and he pushed open the heavy looking doors.
I was surprised to see them all in a line waiting in the open plan living room. Everything was pale white or cream coloured. The only thing that stood out was the large black grand piano sitting on a raised section at the back of the room.
''Everybody this is Bella'' He stood protectively close to me, a hand hovering around my back.
''Bella, this is Carlisle and Esme. The only family you haven't seen before.'' He pointed to the stunning blonde and the beautiful petite women beside him. I realised that all the Cullens were so gorgeous they could have just come from a modelling job. Some how they all seemed airbrushed and the beauty made you turn green with envy.
''Hello Bella, its so lovely to finally meet you'' Carlisle stepped forwards slowly and held out his hand. I shook it and smiled.
Esme then pushed Carlisle aside and grasped both my hands. She looked at Edward and back at me, a look of pure love crossed her face.
''Oh Bella dear, we all welcome you to our home.''
''Thank you'' I said politely.
''Huh, Alice will you just get it over with.'' Edward rolled his eyes, and my brows pulled down in confusion.
''Oh shut up'' Alice came bounding over wrapping her little arms around my neck. I stumbled back a little dazed.
''I'm so glad your here Bella, were going to be great friends.'' I laughed a little nervously and she giggled, stepping back into the line.
''Do I get a hug now?'' Emmet grinned. The smile looking too big for his face. My eyes widened as he strode over in one big step. Everyone laughed as my feet dangled in the air, my small frame looking almost doll like against his big burly muscular body.
''Ok ok... I think we've officially scared her enough for today. Come on everyone lets give them some privacy.'' Carlisle signalled for everyone to leave the room.
''You have a lovely family, I don't know what I was so scared about'' He held my arm as he steered me towards the stairs.
''Well thank you, and I did tell you that. Come on Ill show you around''
He was quiet on the drive home and I couldn't understand why. He had been talking most of the afternoon. Telling me different stories about his family, and all about the Volturi; who I found quite literally bone chilling. I was saddened when I heard the story of how Carlisle came to be a vampire. To suffer in silence for days, knowing that you've become what you hunted most of your life. It must have been hard, well hard seemed an inappropriate word. Edwards room was intriguing. His music collection was quite impressive, although it did cover a whole wall. I think he had every album ever made.
''No bed?'' I had asked when realising all he had was a sofa.
''No, I don't sleep'' A soft calming expression crossed his face, and his eyes glistened. But all I could do was stare, bewildered by his beauty.
''Is something wrong?'' I asked as we pulled up outside the house.
''No, nothing at all'' He looked at me, his eyes searching.
''Its just... you've been particularly quiet.'' I unfastened the seatbelt and turned to face him.
''Everything is just sinking in, there's no going back now. Your a part of this whether I like it or not.''
''And you don't like it'' I couldn't stop my bottom lip from jutting out, and he snorted a laugh.
''Bella, you have no idea. I knew from the start that once you entered my life, Id never be able to get rid of you'' He smiled jokingly. A rush of warmth flowed through my body.
''Ill see you Monday '' His tone was final, a hint for me to leave
Just as I turned to reach for the handle, he whispered my name. I looked instantly eager to hear anything he had to say. But instead a cold white hand reached up to my face, my eyes closed and I leaned my head into his palm. Once he pulled away smiling to myself, I fell out of the car as neatly as possible, and waved before I entered the house.
Climbing into bed, eager to see what my dreams entailed after such a thrilling day, I realised that there was just one thing in my life I was focusing on. Edward was the only thing on my mind, day in and day out. No matter where I was or what I did Edward came to mind. Even with all these other things going on around me I somehow managed to relate back to my vampire.
