Bella's POV
I woke up and trudged downstairs, my head still fuzzy from sleep.
"Ah, Bella." My father greeted me and I grumbled, I had not slept the best last night and I was not particularly happy to be up. "You have a visitor." He announced and I slowly brought my eyes up to meet the golden-haired goddess who had been haunting my dreams.
"Hello," I mumbled dreamily, and this time it was not because I was tired.
"I'm Tanya," she introduced herself and smiled invitingly. "We didn't really get much of a chance to meet yesterday so I thought I'd come by and say hello."
For some reason I just couldn't think while she was smiling at me. "Well, um, hello." I responded pathetically and Tanya chuckled.
"Kate said you were shy," she commented and I blushed deeply. "Now I see what she meant, you are adorable."
My face turned scarlet at her words and I mumbled out something along the lines of, "And you look like a goddess."
Tanya's smile grew to infinite proportions I looked down, too embarrassed to meet her eye. I felt a cold finger slide under my chin and lifted my head until her eyes met mine. "Never be embarrassed to look someone in the eye," my goddess instructed. "You are an amazing woman and you deserve respect, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." I was in awe, no one had ever said anything like that to me before. "Anyway," Tanya stepped back, breaking eye contact. "I'll see you at the wedding." And with that she left.
I was still in shock as I watched her retreat. Why did it hurt when she mentioned the wedding? I am happy about that, right? My father's voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"Bella," I turned to see him watching me curiously. "Who was that?"
"Oh," I mumbled awkwardly. "That was Tanya Denali, Edward's cousin, she's here for the wedding." I explained as best I could.
"Okay," he said sceptically, as though he wasn't sure if he should believe me or not. "I just hope you know what your doing." What is that supposed to mean?
