I sat bolt-up right in bed. The dream had felt so real. It even felt like I had been bitten. I still had my hand to my neck when Charlie threw the door open, charging like an angry bull. The baseball bat was his horn and it was waving madly around looking for the source of my involuntary scream. Maria stood by my bed clutching my hand.
"Why did you scream, honey," Charlie asked finally stopping the baseball bat from waving.
"I had a bad dream," I said exhaling a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Well, if you have another one just yell 'dream' before we get here," Maria sighed.
"Honey, why did you have a bad dream?" Charlie asked.
"I don't know. Maybe I ate something bad last night." I lied.
Yeah, it would be last night. I glanced at my alarm clock, it read three a.m. I looked around my room. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep again. I had to get ready in three hours anyways, so I figured I would get started early. I said goodnight to Charlie and Maria as they left.
When I got out of the shower and got back in the room, I noticed my window was open and the curtains were blowing out. I could have sworn that it was closed. I crossed the room and closed the window.
Halloween came and passed. Charlie and Renee both went out with their spouses on that night. I stayed home and passed out candy to the few little troopers that came by. I caught upon my homework and did laundry. That was where the doorbell caught me. I was puzzled because I thought it was Charlie and Maria. When I opened the door, He Stood there, It was almost as if my fantasies had taken over my mind, All that I could do Was stare and think Oh My God! Which was exactly what he was.
He was a 6'4''Greek God visiting me- the lowly mortal….
"Can I come in?'' he asked flashing me a gorgeous smile. All I could do was stand aside and nod.
''Thank you'" he said smiling again.
He sat at the table and waited for me to join him. shakily sat at the table and continued to stare at this godly teen sitting across from me.
"Why are you here??" I asked finding my voice.
Edward POV
What should I say? That her blood sung to me so much that I couldn't stay away? That my once dormant human instincts were woken up because of her?
''I wanted to apologize for behaving so rudely in Mr. tanner's Biology class." I finally answered. Her emotions were so easy to read. First, confusion, and then understanding and remembrance dawned on her face.
"Oh, that. '' She said ''I didn't even think about that but, um, thank you, too. I guess."
She was so cute when flustered, all of a sudden her cheeks flamed so red, I jumped and ran to the door. All of that delicious, red, sweet blood... Get out of there-you'll hurt her, my mind was screaming. A-fire started in the back of my throat, one that only blood would put out. NO. Get out of there NOW!
''I'm sorry, but I have other plans for tonight,''
''Oh, yeah. I bet you have a date, right?'' She looked stunned that had come out of her mouth.
"Excuse Me? ''I said in bewilderment in bewilderment, my thirst momentarily forgotten.
"I didn't mean to say that. That's your business, not mine. I'll seen you tomorrow in class." She flamed again; I had to get out of there, before she completely killed me.
"Goodnight, sleep tight." I said as I escaped into the cloaking night.
