Chapter 4

BPOV

Precious

Your eyes,

It really will suffice

Keeps my heart beating

Keeps me living and breathing

Your smiles,

Just to see them,

I'll walk a hundred miles

It weakens my knees, though puts my mind at peace

Your voice,

Blocks every single noise

Like sweet bells ringing constantly

Hearing it makes me thank God repeatedly

Your touch,

Speaks that you love me very much

A thing which without a doubt

I can't live without

Alone. Edward. Isolated. Exchanged Looks. Secrets. Staying away from people

The words that are going through my mind revolve around Edward and his life. I don't know what's happening with me. It seems "stalkerish" on my part but there is a part of me that's pushing me to dig deeper about this man.

It was last Sunday when he drove me home and it was also the day that triggered my curiosity about this gorgeous man. I tried my best to stay away from thinking about him but during the slow part of my day, my mind plays this commercial of him inside my head.

This week was a hectic one in general so I decided to reward myself with a delicious meal without bothering to cook. As I walked inside the restaurant, the ambiance affected my senses making me relaxed. I ordered my dinner and checked my messages while waiting for it to arrive. It was then that I felt something change. I perused my surroundings to check what caused me this feeling and eventually my eyes zeroed on his face. Edward. He is here, too. He was sitting alone at a corner side table staring blankly ahead. His mind seems flying.

I decided to greet him and converse with him so I walked to his table.

"Hi, Edward. How are you?" I said to make my presence known. His green eyes moved to my direction and there was a look of shock in them. He regained his composure immediately and said to "I am sorry miss but I don't know you."

I giggled and told him "What do you mean? Did you hit your head or something?" as I attempt to make our conversation light.

"I do NOT wish to talk to strangers. I don't know YOU" Edward said seriously. He pulled out cash left it on the table and hurriedly left me before I can even reply.

"What. Was. That?" I murmured still shocked about his outburst, his denial about knowing me and his sudden escape. What is with this man?

When it finally registered on me, I composed myself again and went back to my table just a few seconds before my meal arrived. My appetite was suddenly flushed out on me. My mind is now focused on the mysterious man named Edward.

Why would he deny knowing me?

Is he afraid of someone seeing us talk?

What happened to him?

Why would he leave just like that without giving me a chance to answer?

My goodness, my forehead is now aching because of my eyebrows pulled together for god knows how long. His actions and behavior are just adding ignition to my curiosity. "Ahhh! Just forget him. Bella, you are being a stupid curious woman. You'll die soon because it was curiosity that killed the cat!" I chastised myself.

Wow! I was supposed to relax this Friday night but here I am now laying on my bed upset as hell because of that stupid gorgeous green-eyed man. It was almost midnight when I fell asleep but my dream still included him.

It was dark starry night. I am listening to my favorite songs while sitting on the bench outside the chapel where I first saw him. There was an outline of a person near the huge tree. I walked towards it but still can't fully see the face of the person. "Who are you?" I blurted out. "You don't know me," said the person whose lullaby-voice I can't forget.

"Edward? I know you. You are Edward and you are a good person," I argued with him still unable to see his face.

"Stay away from me!" he then shouted and started to move away.

"Wait! Why are you being like this? What's wrong tell me?" I yelled back to his retreating form. I ran after him "Answer my question! Wait! Wait! Tell me!". I then tripped on a rock and fell into a deep dark abyss.

Shit! I woke up sweating and my heart was beating so fast like I just came from running. That was one heck of a nightmare. This man is killing me without him even knowing. I need to do something about this. I know there is something behind his change in demeanor and his refusal to acknowledge knowing me. There is something behind his way of life. There is a reason why he lives in a secluded place alone. I know there is a lingering secret behind him. I can feel it.

I went to work and try to not think about Edward and his actions.

I decided to go to a clothes' shop and buy some clothes to reward myself. I entered the shop and started browsing for the clothes that I will be buying. "Color navy blue looks good on you", a small woman with a pixie cut hair told me.

"Oh! Thank you. I like the color, too. But, this dress seems too short for my liking." I answered her shyly.

"That's not too short. You should try at least wear some clothes like these. You have the body that fit with these designs. Come on, why don't you try?" she told me.

"Alright. I will try this" I smiled to her.

"Great! I know you'll look great and sexy in this dress. By the way, what's your name?" she asked me.

"I am Isabella Swan, just call me Bella. I am a high school teacher. How about you?"

"I am Alice Brandon. I own this shop. It's nice to meet you. I have another set of dresses to be delivered next week. You should come and visit again next week," she said smiling at me.

"Alice Brandon?" I repeated

"Yep. Why?" Alice asked me.

"Nothing. Just confirming if I heard it correctly. By the way, this shop is nice. I love the clothes and the price isn't also hurting my wallet much." I shrugged and smiled.

"Thank you Bella. I really want to sell clothes that are not that much expensive. I mean everyone can wear nice clothes, too" Alice told me.

"I agree" I smiled.

"Hey! Bella you can visit me next week and tell me about your opinion about my designs. Pleeaasssseee…" she tried to convince me.

"Okay. I'll visit you next weekend" I smiled towards her.

"Yay! Because of that I'll be giving you a good discount for your purchase," she told me as she punched in.

I drove home and ate my dinner. I turned on my television and tried to find a program that will at least take away my mind from that green-eyed man. However, my mind is still returning to Edward. My goodness! Bella, you're being a crazy person. I just want to know the reason of his actions at the restaurant. I just need to know to end my curiosity. "I'll visit him tomorrow and then ask him about this," I told myself.

I woke up at 9:00 a.m. I decided to go visit Edward after eating breakfast. I parked my car at the same spot I parked the last time and then walked towards his house. I tried to remember the correct path to Edward's house. I don't want to be lost or have an accident on my way. I just want to go there and just ask him without any drama. After several minutes of trying to figure out the correct path, I was able to see the gate of his house.

I pushed the doorbell several times and waited for somebody to open the door. After a few minutes of waiting, the gate was opened by Aro. I smiled and greeted him "hey!how are you Aro?" His face showed shock with the hint of fear.

"What can I do for you mam?" he asked me.

"May I talk to Edward? I just need to ask him something. Just a few questions and then I'll be gone" I joked and shrugged.

"I am sorry miss, but I don't know you and I don't know anybody named Edward," he answered.

"Excuse me?! Aro what is happening to you and Edward? Tell me about the problem," I strongly demanded upon hearing him.

"I am sorry miss. I don't know who you are and what are you talking about. Be safe and be careful" he closed the gate before I was able to answer him.

I probably looked like a gaping fish. What's happening? Did I just dream about that night at the church and then meeting him? No, I am sure that night was real. I can imagine the details of his face and his voice. I don't understand. This is just triggering my mind more.

Edward denied knowing me and I don't know the reason why. Now even his employee and caretaker, Aro, is doing the same. What is with him? I didn't do anything that could be a probable reason. Maybe I should forget about him and convince myself that he does not exist.

I went home trying to figure out what is this all about. I made a sandwich for myself and watched television to relieve my tension. I was sitting on the sofa until I drifted off to sleep. However, it seems like Edward is assaulting my mind even in my dreams.

It was dark and I was standing in front of a very angry Edward.

"Stay away from me! Don't come near me. You don't know me," Edward shouted at me.

"But…" I murmured.

"No! there is nothing you can do about this. You are nothing but a woman who is not important to me. I can forget you instantly as fast as a blink. I don't need you in my life so don't try to be part of it. I don't know you and you don't know me," he said with conviction. He walked away from me but I tried to follow him.

"Wait! I just want to know more about you. Tell me the truth," I cried trying to hold his arm to make him face me but he pushed me away from him. I tripped over a big rock and hit my head.

"Edward!" I shouted. "I don't know you!" he shouted back and ran until he was gone.

Oh my god! That was one hell of a nightmare. I shook my head to clear my mind. My muscles are very much sore because of wrong position during my sleep added with a very frustrating nightmare.

Why can't I just forget about this man? Why is he denying that he knows me? Why is Aro also denying it? Is there something that they don't like about me? Do they think I am a bad person? Is there something that they are trying to keep secret?

Lot's of questions are reeling inside my mind.

It seems that I can't remove the thoughts of Edward inside my mind. Great! I am living alone, often busy with work, a boring teacher doesn't like to socialize much and is now getting crazy about a green-eyed man who is even denying that he knows me.

I guess I just need to let fate decide on what will happen about this Edward issue. I will not go to him and force him but if I see him again and there is a chance that I can talk to him, I will grab the chance and ask him about this stupidity.

For now, back to my same old boring life.

Thanks for reading! I am trying my best to improve this story. I know Bella seems like crazy. Hahaha. I will try to update weekly. Take care everybody.
