BPOV

I sat in the Cullen's kitchen with Alice's family for what felt like hours. Her boyfriend Jasper was so funny and he had a way of letting off this amazing relaxing feeling. He was telling us the story of how he and Alice met and I could not help but laugh as he mimicked her bouncing.

As Jasper spoke I laughed and out of the corner of my eye I saw him. The boy from this morning. What was he doing here? I went on as if I did not see him and I saw him and Alice walk away.

Alice's family was amazing. Her dad Mr., Cullen or as I was told to call Carlise was the nicest man ever he was so handsome, I could tell that is where Alice got her green eyes from. Alice's mom Esme was beautiful she was short like Alice and her eyes just glowed with love for her family. Alice's older brother Emmett was handsome, strong and silent but yet like a big teddy bear. He and Jasper played off each other well, telling stories about Alice and Edward. Edward was Alice's twin who I had not met yet. Then there was Rosalie, if there was an award for the most gorgeous girl in the universe, she would win it. At first she came off as snobby but as soon as you broke the barrier, she was so nice, she had a big heart and you could tell that it belonged to Emmett. The way she looked at him was amazing and I found my self wanting that feeling as well.

There were numerous rounds of questions about me and my life, what I did in Phoenix and what my parents were like, my cheeks started to hurt from smiling and my stomach was getting very hungry for the delicious meal that the Cullen's were making.

It was amazing watching them, they all helped out each other in that great big kitchen it was almost as if they each had their own job to do and with out question they just did. They moved in sync around each other never getting in each others way. Being an outsider watching it, I felt like I was intruding on old time TV family moment. Words could describe the love I felt in that room.

"It is kind of sickening isn't it?" I heard that same velvet voice whisper in my ear leaving chills going down my spine. I jumped and nearly fell off the chair when his two strong arms caught me and the electricity that when through my body when he touched me was amazing, and the smell, Oh my that smell I took a deep breath just so I could suck it all in.

"not again you don't" he teased. Grabbing hold of me steadying me back on the chair.

He sat me back up and said, "Hi, I am Edward." reaching for my hand

"Bella" I replied talking his hand and shaking it. His other hand still on my back making sure I was balanced on the stool. Once again, the chills, the electricity that went through me was amazing, his smell was amazing. He was amazing and I instantly felt my face turn bright red. "My family can be kind of sickening can't they?" he asked. I smiled and said "it is actually kinda nice" I realized he still had not removed his hand from my back.

"well, I see you have met Bella" Alice said and I noticed that I was still holding her up even though she was secure in the chair and I was staring at her, and my family was staring at us. Her face blushed and my heart skipped a beat and I swear every one in the room could hear it pounding.

Was it possible to feel an electric current when you touch some one? I could not believe the feeling that came over me when I touched her. It was like my entire body was alive and for the first time I felt my energy level sky rocket. And when she blushed, I felt my heart flip and sped up about 10 times it normal rhythm. I could not believe all the feelings I was feeling in that 5 minutes of being in Bella's presence, it was just too overwhelming to even try to put in words.

"Come on every one, lets eat" My mother announced. I was sure that she knew Bella was embarrassed and she wanted to try to break the silence.

Emmett went to sit in his normal seat that was next to the seat that Bella was going to take. Alice slapped his arm, "Dumb Emmett, you sit over here when we have company across from Rose remember?" She emphasized on remember and our twin connection kicked in and I knew she wanted me to sit next to Bella. I froze not sure if I could do it, the feeling that came over me when I was that close to her was amazing and I had no clue how to react.

Bella went to get up from the stool to go to the seat that Alice had pointed out as hers. As she got up, she fell again and my reflexes worked rather fast and again I caught her. "I think you are doing this on purpose" I whispered in her hair. Where was this coming from who was this guy talking like that. I thought to my self. Her face turned even redder.

"Thank you again, I guess this dinner will be all about me and my clumsiness" She said with a smile on her face making her way to her seat. I went over and pulled her chair out for her. "Thank you Edward" she said softly. Oh my god, she said my name. I do not know why but I loved how she said my name and once again I felt my heart do a flip.

BPOV.

I can not believe two times in the same night I nearly fell flat on my face and Edward have caught me, his strong arms protecting me from the fall and that feeling that came over me when he touched me was amazing. Words could not describe what I was feeling.

Edward had pulled my chair out for me so I could sit down. What a gentleman he was. He must have learned that from his dad I thought.

Having dinner with the Cullen's was so much fun. They each go around and tell a story about there day and of course Jaspers story is the funniest and every one is laughing. He is telling us how his friend in school had to jump in front of a ball three times for a girl who had no clue how to play volley ball.

"Mike said each time the ball came her way, she would duck or walk the other way and let the ball go. Mike said that three times he had to jump up to get the ball because she had not seen it coming and it nearly knocked her out." Mike had even fallen to the ground once and when she went to walk over to him she nearly fell over her own feet." Jasper was laughing mimicking Mike as he told the story.

His entire family was laughing and then it hit me.

OMG that was me. I could not help but blush and stop laughing.

Edward looked at me "What is the matter Bella?" he asked his entire family stopped and looked at me.

I started to laugh so hard and then Alice bounced up "OMG Bella that was you?" That's right, you told me about Mike having to rescue you from the ball." She said laughing.

Jasper froze; the look on his face was priceless. His blue eyes looked sorry he ran his hair through his blond hair and I looked at him and smile. "It is ok Jasper, it is pretty funny. I am really very clumsy." I said making him feel a little better.

We all started laughing again.

The rest of the dinner was pretty much the same I loved listening to the family stories and seeing how happy they were. Every so often out of the corner of my eye I could see Edward stealing glances at me, sometimes he would look longer for a second and when I would notice that, I would blush and he would look away.

What could this be? What was this feeling? I was in school one day, I had made a new friend, watch the most amazing family connection and may have certain unexplainable feelings for some one and for the first time in years, I thought this is going to be a good year.

I know she knew I was staring at her. She would blush every so often and that is how I knew she knew. After I heard about how Mike had to save her I got jealous. Wait what jealous. No, I can not do this, no distractions. I said to my self. But then I would look at her again, the most beautiful being I have seen and forget all about my worries all about my depression feelings and I felt happy. I think my mother could see it because she kept looking at us and then looking at me and smiling.

Could it be, could I have feelings for Bella? What a year this is going to be I thought.
