Hey guys! Just wanted to say I am so so so sorry that I haven't updated in ages! I have been so busy lately with work and college and had some writers block, but here is chapter 3 and hopefully the others will be up quicker! Sorry again! Hope you enjoy and please review :)
Edward looked at me intently, his green pooled eyes just staring, wanting me to say something after his little speech.
Releasing the breath that I didn't even realise I was holding I began my reply. "I forgive you Edward, we got off on the wrong foot… and I wouldn't mind getting to know you better." I said with a smile and then blushed as I just realised what I had just said! However Edward's gigantic smile assured me that I had said the right thing.
"I agree and I want you to know more about me too and I also want to know more about you, so you go first, ask me something." Edward said with that crooked smile I had seen earlier and even though I really shouldn't I felt myself glance at his lips. As his smile grew bigger I snapped out of it and seeing he had a smug look on his face started blushing like I had never blushed before because he totally saw me zoning out just then!
"Sorry!" I coughed out as I opened my menu and started looking at what I wanted. You shouldn't like him Bella he isn't your type! But he certainly seemed my type just a second ago! Ah! I needed to get out of here and eat a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's!
"No problem." He said, as I peeped over my menu and saw that smile of his again and saw him also proceed to look at his menu.
Just at that moment the waitress came to take our orders which I was grateful about because it gave me time to compose myself because her eyes were on Edward and Edward only!
"Oh Mr Cullen!" The girl shrieked, her blonde hair swishing around her shoulders as she swayed from side to side. Reading her nametag I saw her name was Lauren. Hmph. "I am a HUGE fan I love all your films you're just dreamy!" I now understood a little better about what Edward was talking about before, how could he put up with this?
"Thanks" Edward said with a strained smile "Are we ready to order now Bella?"
I gave a small nod and Lauren, still staring at Edward asked what we would like to order, or should I say what Edward would like to order!
Edward not even noticing the other girl's intent stare for him looked at me and asked what I wanted. "Um…I'll have the mushroom ravioli please" I said looking up at Lauren who wrote it down but you could see she wasn't happy that Edward hadn't paid attention to her stares and flirtatious hair twirling!
"And what would the best film star ever like for lunch?" Lauren beamed with a wink and I didn't know if I should laugh or gag! I went for a laugh hidden with a cough that made Lauren look in my direction and give me a death glare, but soon enough she was all eyes for Mr Film Star again!
Edward, seeing me trying to hide a laugh had to try and restrain one himself as he choked out a "I'll have the same please" which REALLY annoyed dear Lauren who didn't like the fact that Edward would want the same as I'm having.
"Okay then and what about drinks because it seems that you have a serious Cough Mr Cullen?" Bless her she was in denial, she knew he was trying to cover a laugh, but who could blame her? It was Edward Cullen and what I see in the magazines and what I have witnessed these two days is that he really is quite famous! But to be honest I preferred that Edward I saw a few minutes ago, the 'normal guy' Edward to the Can-I-have-you're-Autograph Edward.
"Bella?" Edward asked me. It was nice that he asked what I wanted first before he ordered himself, I wasn't used to this gentlemanly behaviour from guys!
I had only had a couple of lunch dates with guys and they were always from the office and were either guys from the business section and bored me to tears or they from the real estate section and always wanted to 'check out my apartment' after the meal! However I knew that this certainly was NOT a date.
"I'll have a coke please." I said to Lauren with a fake smile.
"Make that two cokes" Edward smiled giving me a wink and I had to take a deep breath to stop the dizziness I was feeling. This is crazy! I though to myself as I gave a small smile back and moved my gaze to the table.
"Fine!" Lauren huffed and it was clear that she wasn't very happy that she hadn't won over Edward's affection.
As Lauren walked away to get our order I looked up from the table and was greeted by a smiling Edward.
"You still haven't asked me a question yet." Edward said chuckling slightly as I remembered we were meant to get to know each other better.
"Oh yea!" I said with a bit too much enthusiasm, which caused Edward too chuckle again. "Um does that normally happen?" I asked causing Edward to look confused.
"Does what normally happen?"
"What happened with the waitress. Do they normally practically throw themselves on you?"
Edward started to laugh and shake his head. "Why are you jealous?" He said teasingly.
"No!" I said a little to quickly. "Um no I just wanted to know if this was a normal occurrence?"
"Well I guess it depends. I get the odd fan girl with autograph book in hand however there are some more extreme and determined fans, but they are rare." Edward said with a smirk and I remembered back to yesterday and knew that Ellie was under the extreme type but she wasn't nearly as desperate as that Lauren girl was!
"Oh right" I said looking nervously around the room because I knew it was me that was going to have to answer a question now.
"My turn." Edward said with a smile and my nerves tripled as I didn't really answer questions about myself, I was normally bottled up little Bella, well except with Alice. I would tell that crazy girl all my secrets even if I didn't even want to.
"Winter or Summer?" Well that isn't a hard one I thought to myself with a smile.
"Summer for sure. How about you?"
"Autumn." He said with a smirk as I rolled my eyes at his clear individuality.
"Favourite colour?"
The colour of your eyes… Shut up Bella! "Uh Green. You?"
"Blue. Walks on the beach or picnics in the park?"
"Walks on the beach. You?"
"Picnics on the beach."
"You aren't even funny you know that?" I said trying hard to hold back a smile. Edward just gave that dazzling smile of his and I wasn't sure if my stomach was doing weird things because I was hungry or because of Edward Cullen's killer smile.
"So how many siblings do you have, other than the wondrous Emmett?"
"It's just Emmett but I see his fiancé, Rose as a sister I never had." Edward said with seriousness and I couldn't help but think how sweet that was!
"How about you?" Edward asked me with a smile.
"Well it's just me but my family see Alice as their own and so I guess she is like my sister. We have been best friends for years and although sometimes I want to kill her she is the lovely and wonderful Alice Brandon." Edward smiled at my little speech about my sister from another mister and I smiled back.
"Here are your meals!" Lauren beamed as she came striding towards our table and it was clear she had composed herself in the kitchen to face her 'dream guy' once again.
Edward politely thanked her and had to decline a number of times when she asked if we needed anything over and over again.
As we started quietly eating our food the banter started again by Edward in a form of a very daunting question.
"So what's your job?" Edward asked while I nearly choked on a mushroom! The one thing I didn't want him to ask! Do I tell him the truth? Hardly anyone knows! I have only just met him!
"Are you okay?" Edward said concerned.
"Oh yea I'm fine!" I said in a splutter still trying to get that pesky piece of mushroom down!
"That's good so are you gonna answer my question?" Edward smirked
"Well it was my turn to ask a question so…"
"Just answer it you can ask two next round" Dang it!
"Well I mend… hearts." Oh no this day just got worse! Well I do mend broken hearts but so it wasn't a complete lie but still!
"Are you saying you are a heart surgeon?" Edward said his eyes bulging.
"Um…you could say that." That's it Bella stretch the truth a little. Oh my mom would kill me if she were here right now!
"Wow! No offence but you didn't seem the type."
"You have no idea." I said with a nervous laugh.
This friendship was seriously going to get interesting.
So Bella has been slightly decieving which cannot be good!
Hope you guys liked! :-)
