Edward *slowly backs away*: what are you planning?
Me: I'll never tell muahahahaha xD
Your eyes whispered "Have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
Enchanted – Taylor Swift
Chapter 2 – Enchanted (Part 1)
Bella POV
I never really felt comfortable at parties. I avoided them if I could. This was no exception. I felt really out of place in this high end club surrounded by actresses and singer and all kinds of celebrities. Renee decided not to attend. She dropped me off and sped back home. I wished I went with her. I was huddled in a corner, watching Lauren trying to dance with Edward. She weaved her body back and forth while he just stood there, like a gorgeous statue. I stifled a laugh. His eyes roamed around the club and landed on me. I watched him say something to Lauren that made her pout and he maneuvered out of her grasp and started walking towards me. He smiled. I glanced around, thinking that there was no way he was walking towards me.
"Hey Bella."
"Hey." I murmured, blushing.
"How can you be enjoying the party in that corner?" He laughed and took my hand.
"I guess I'm just watching everyone. This isn't really my scene." I shrugged.
"It's not so much mine either. But I have to put on a brave face." He grimaced delicately.
"Edward!" A pixie like girl skidded gracefully to a stop before us.
"Alice." He muttered.
"Who's this?" She turned towards me. She was beautiful. Flawless pale skin, large golden eyes.
"This is Bella. She's a VIP guest." "Bella, this is Alice, my little sister." He patted her gently on the head.
"It's so nice to meet you Bella!" She grinned, flashing perfect white teeth at me. "Why are you standing in that dark corner? Come and dance!" She grabbed both my hands and yanked me to the dance floor. I looked back, helplessly at Edward. He shrugged sadly, as though saying, I can't control her…
I let the music move me. It's what I did best.
"Bella! You're an amazing dancer!" Alice yelled over the loud music.
"That's right!" Edward appeared out of nowhere at her side. "You're a dancer as well as a singer!"
I nodded and blushed. He remembered! Just then a slow song came on. Edward turned to me and held out a hand.
"Care to dance?" He smiled gently at me.
"Why I would love to," I giggled, blushing. Again.
He pulled me close in his arms. Not even in my wildest dreams would I have thought this moment possible. Me! Dancing with Edward Cullen! I unconsciously noticed all the eyes on us. The girls were glaring at me and the guys. The guys were looking at me in a way that I didn't recognize.
"Edward!" "Mr. Cullen!" "Who is this?" "Another girlfriend?" A bright flash of light. Paparazzi! Edward shielded me from the cameras and pulled me into a small sitting room. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Sorry about that… I didn't think they could get in past security…"
I looked at him. He looked really remorseful. It was adorable. I started laughing. He stared incredulously.
"Honestly Edward! It's no big deal." I couldn't stop laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" He looked so confused.
"Your – Your – Your face!" I gestured wildly at his confused expression.
He frowned slightly, and then smiled.
"You know, you look lovely when you laugh." He sat down next to me.
I blushed furiously. Edward Cullen was complimenting me… I thought I might faint.
"So Miss Bella Swan. Sing for me."
"Wait, what?"
"Well we are alone. There's no better time!"
I must have looked terrified because he quickly said "Of course, if you don't want to, it's no big deal."
I sighed. I might as well sing for him… "What do you want me to sing?"
"Hmmm… Something by Taylor Swift?" He smiled hopefully at me.
"Well… ok…" I cleared my throat and started.
When I was finished, I snapped out of my reverie that I was always in when I started to sing. The first thing I heard was clapping. I looked, surprised, at Edward.
"That was amazing!" He had this gleam in his eyes. "You are amazing!"
"I-I don't know about that…" I muttered, embarrassed.
"You are!" He stood up quickly and hugged me. Really hard. And then spun me around. When he put me down, I could only stand there, shocked.
"I-I-I'm sorry… That was out of line…"
"No!" I said, shaking the surprise away. "You just took me by surprise!"
I looked at my watch. "Oh! It's so late already! My mom'll be here any second!"
"Let me walk you out," Edward wrapped a warm arm around me. Yep. I'm definitely in heaven now…
We walked together to the curb. My mom was nowhere in sight.
"Lemme call her." I pulled out my phone, but before I could dial, Edward grabbed it from me. "Hey!"
"Wait, just let me put my number in." He tapped furiously at my phone screen. I was getting Edward Cullen's number? Is this all a prank? A really amazingly realistic dream? It had to be. He handed my phone to me and, in a daze, I dialed Renee's number.
"Hey Mom! Where are you? Oh yep, I see you!" I pointed toward the red BMW. "There's my mom." She pulled up slowly at the curb and rolled down the window.
"Hello Edward!" She waved.
"Hello Mrs. Swan!" He smiled sweetly at her and opened my door, like a real gentleman. "Have a safe drive home Bella." He hugged me gently one more time, and whispered, "Call me sometime. Don't lose touch." He let me go and closed the car door. I leaned back into the leather seat and sighed happily. This night was officially perfect.
AN: I'm writing chapter 3 right now :) I'm not sure when it'll be done... Hopefully by Monday :)
Every chapter has a song, but I split Enchanted by Taylor Swift into 3 parts because I love the song and because each part of the song shows different emotions that Bella has :)
The title, Story of Us, is based off Story of Us by Taylor Swift :)
I hope you guys like the story so far!
