One Day
I started to immediately laugh as I caught sight of him. He looked up from his paper and he looked serious. I walked over to my seat. I looked down at him in the chair. I started to smile again.
"A little jealous, are we?" I started laughing. Just the thought of Emmett Cullen trying to match me! Teehee. What a cute thought but it was funny at the same time.
"No," he said.
"Funny, I thought you were wearing a black t-shirt this morning." I gave him a smile.
"Ohh, so you pay attention to what I wear now," he said and finally gave me one of his celebrity smiles. He always had a come back to anything I said, but I would always come right back at him.
"Oh well it's kind of hard to miss such a big strong muscular guy like yourself Emmett," I said this while tracing my finger along his arm. He looked at my finger and then looked back up at me.
"You're good. See! That's what you do to these guys in Forks! You flirt with them until they fall head over heels with you. No offense to the girls here, but we've known every girl in this school since kindergarten and you're new and from the city. You kind of attract these guys."
I looked him up and down. I was glad that he didn't get mad about me touching his arm. Who was I kidding? Not many guys cared if girls touched them. Anyway, as I was looking him up and down I wondered why he didn't think about himself this way. He was the best looking guy in this school, quarterback, and he had dark black eyes. WAIT. Didn't he have golden eyes? I'll ask him about that later. But he was perfect in every way and that drew in girls too.
"Emmett, do you ever look in the mirror? You're perfect. You're hott," I saw his lip curl up, "yes, I do think you're hott, and you're the quarterback for the varsity football team, and you're funny and nice and sweet," I paused for air and then finally finished, "Did you ever think that you might attract all of these girls?"
He looked up at me and then stood up next to me making a creaky noise come from the desk. "Maybe I don't want those girls. Maybe I've never noticed them. Maybe I've been waiting for one girl in particular. Maybe I've been waiting for you." He looked at me seriously. He kind of looked relieved. It's like he's been holding that in since yesterday. I looked down at my converse blushing. Then I began to think about it. Something wasn't right here. I've only known this guy for one day and I trust him so much. I have feelings for him and I really like him, but how? You can't know a guy for a day and then become head over heels in love with them. It's just not possible. Or maybe it is? I feel that way right now. It feels like I've been waiting for him too. How cliché is that? I felt his body almost touching mine as we faced each other. I didn't feel him breathing or any body heat. Maybe he was nervous or dying? Yeah Emily, he's dying. I rolled my eyes at myself. Weird right? Who rolls their eyes at themselves? Anyway, here I was with nothing to say but I think I did know something to tell him. Then I brought my eyes back up to his. He was waiting for me to reply.
"Maybe I feel the same way. Maybe I'm just flirting with other guys to make you jealous. Maybe I don't know why I like you more than I should because we've only known each other for a day."
He smiled right when I said that I felt the same way. "I will get to know you Emily. I want to get to know you. You and me could hang out. I would like you to meet my family tonight Emily."
I looked at him shocked. "Isn't that going too fast? Aren't meeting the families kind of what you do when you're together for a while?"
He smiled, "What if we were in 6th grade and I invited you over as a friend? You would meet my family, would you not? Let's pretend we're in 6th grade."
I looked at him. "Sure, why not?"
He then leaned down to whisper in my ears, "Emily, I want you to know that I love you. I don't want you to feel weird by that but I want you to know that I would kiss you right now if you wanted me to." And I did want him to. What would people think when I kissed him after knowing him for a day though? They would think I was using him for his popularity. But I should stop worrying about what other people think. Now I believe one day to get to know someone is all you need. He was bringing his head back up to his normal height until I held his head by the back of the neck. He looked at me with a sparkle in his black eyes. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we both leaned in for a kiss. The minute his lips touched mine I felt so happy. He kissed me tenderly and slowly with love. I felt like this is right where I belong. Just me and Emmett and no one else until the bell rang.
