Questions Bring Love

Chapter 3

"Bella, sweety, wake up!" I heard a hard voice in my head, hitting my mind like a piece of iron. Damn, stop these! "Bella, do it for me, please!" This time, the voice was begging me to wake up, but I didn't have the right mood. I will pretend that I'm asleep. "Bells, sweetheart! Little one!" Wait…wait…WAIT!!! I know this voice, it's so familiar to me.

"Dad?" I whispered still sleeping.

"Yes, I'm here, Bells! Wake up for dad!" He wanted too much. I was still feeling weak and waking up was a huge effort for my body. Maybe another day, I laughed in my head.

"Charlie, I think you should let her sleep. She's still weak! Maybe later." Another voice interfered, but this time it was sweeter. It was like a cold wind in the middle of a hot summer. I just felt better hearing it. Of course, it took me less of time to recognize this one. It was Edward's, the handsome and incredibly gentle young man who stayed with me yesterday when I received the results. Well, now being honest, a very good word for him is hot!!!

"You're right, Edward. But, tell me, where's your father? Where's doctor Cullen?" asked Charlie with a defeated tone. Waaaait!! Father? Carlisle Cullen is Edward's father. Well, thinking better, I can find some common things: they are both incredibly good looking, they are both incredibly gentle and respectable, they both have golden eyes, they both have pale skin and…well, that's all, but it's enough for me to prove that Edward was doctor Carlisle Cullen's son. Incredible!

"I think he's in his office!" responded the unreal voice.

"I should go and talk with him a bit. Can you watch her for some time?" Charlie was visibly ashamed to ask that.

"Don't worry, chief Swan. She will be safe with me!" promised the beautiful voice. God, what's happening to me?

"I know, dear boy, I know!" and then footsteps were heard outside the room. I opened my right eye a bit, only to look at him, to be sure I wasn't imaging, but there he stood, in front of the large window, still and beautiful, breath-taking, charming, handsome, good-looking, sweet… stop Bella!!!

"You know, you can open your eyes now!" his tone was amused. How did he manage to catch me?

"You're fast!" I whispered.

"Yeah, I heard that before. Well, can I know why are you hiding from your father?" his voice was serious, but deep I could feel his interest.

"Well, I'm not in the mood to talk with him, that's all." I said simply.

"Why?" Hmm, to simple, right?

"Well, I told you, I'm not in the mood." Well done, Bella!

"You can open your eyes now, you know. It's not like you're afraid of me, or not?" his voice was again waiting a reply.

"No!" I answered quickly, maybe too quickly. And with that, I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was looking at me and he was…smiling, but not a usual smile, but a crooked beautiful one. My bones melted quickly.

"It's good to hear that!" he came towards me and sat on the chair near me. "So, I should introduce myself because I didn't have a chance yesterday. I'm Edward Cullen." He was dazzling me, his burning mine like fire. I had to response but I couldn't.

"Bella…a!" I finished with a high tone because my breathing stopped. I had forgotten to breath! He approached my face worried and I felt his incredible scent. He smelled like waves crashing on the solid rocks near the huge ocean…so fresh. My heart began to beat again, but this time faster. He stayed like that, until his smell made me feel better.

"Are you ok?" he asked while he sat on his chair again.

"Yeah." I managed to answer, when my father rushed in with doctor Cullen.

"Bells, it's so good to see you awake! Are you feeling better?" asked Charlie worried. Edward shot me a strange look.

"Yes, dad, I'm better! Don't worry so much." I tried to make him feel better because I felt guilty for lying to him.

"Oh, child, you will kill me one day!" he declared tiredly. Seeing that, Edward cleared the chair and allowed my father to sit. God, he was amazing!

"Thank you, Edward, thank you!" said my father smiling.

"No problem, chief!" replied Edward smiling too.

"So, Bella, do you think you're ready to go home?" asked Carlisle smiling kindly to me. Going home now meant that I will probably never see Edward. No, that wasn't going to happen, I won't allow it!!!

"Well, I don't know." I was so unsure." I feel quite good." I realized that maybe he wasn't interested in me. "I'm ready to go!" I decided quickly and could swear I saw a flash of sadness in Edward's eyes. Of course, I was imagining.

"Fine, then, I will sign your papers", he said kindly and gave my father a lot of papers. "Here you are, Miss Swan! As I always say, I hope I won't see you here soon." He said laughing and I began to laugh with him. Charlie was smiling too, but Edward was only wearing a fake little smile. What's wrong with him now?

"Can I have some time alone please? I need to change. I'll meet you outside." I said to the three men.

"Sure, dear." answered the doctor. All walked away, but again I could swear Edward was looking with deep sadness at me. You're imagining, Bella!!! After some minutes I got dressed and packed my clothes and walked outside and towards the three men, waiting for me. I greeted Carlisle sweetly and thanked him for everything. When I reached Edward I felt a great electricity. He greeted me too and when we shook hands, I felt a little piece of paper passing to my hand and I took it without asking. He didn't look at me and left without another word. In Charlie's car I opened it and read"

I don't know why I am doing this. I don't understand, but look, here's my number. I just feel like I will desire to see you again. So, don't think bad about me. You can refuse.

Edward Cullen

I took a deep breath and smiled.
