Lingering question kept me up
2am who do you love?
I wondered til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

Enchanted – Taylor Swift

Chapter 3 – Enchanted (Part 2)

"Bella. Bella. Wake up honey. We're home." I was gently shaken awake by Renee. She smiled lovingly at me for a second. I looked around, discombobulated.

"I know honey. It's been a long night." She laughed quietly and pulled me out of the car. I stumbled on the porch steps and she laughed again. I looked up and glared groggily at her.

"Sorry…" She muttered.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." I pulled myself out of her grasp and climbed up the flight of stairs. By the time I reached my room, I was ready to faint. Then I saw his face. Plastered all over my walls and the memories of the night came back to me. Every touch, every word, every smile. Did it really happen? Did Edward Cullen really put his number in my phone? I fumbled with my purse for a second before finally grasping my cell phone. I impatiently tapped at it. "1 New Message" Curious, I tapped on the message.

"Hey Bella. It's Edward. I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed meeting you and that I had a lot of fun tonight! I hope to hear from you soon and maybe even see you soon! Have a safe drive home :) And goodnight! =D"

Wow. A text message from Edward. My vision swam. I collapse on the bed and stared at the posters on my ceiling. I considered texting him back, but really… It was late. And he was probably already asleep. And I could use some sleep. But how could I sleep after tonight? I switched the light off and snuggled into my comforter.

My dreams were bright, colorful. The happiness that I was bursting with seeped into my subconscious mind and changed my dreams. There I was, with beautiful Edward Cullen. He was dressed in a striking black tuxedo and when I looked down, I saw that I was in a gorgeous light blue ball gown. He held out a hand and I took it. A slow piano tune started. He twirled me around and around. For what seemed like hours. I snuggled against his warm, strong arms and sighed with happiness. This is my heaven. In Edward's arms.

I woke with a start. Was that a dream? I fumbled with the covers and rolled out of bed. My eyes were bright, my pupils dilated. Damn… if my mom saw me she'd think that I was on drugs… I tiptoed to the restroom, stopping to check the clock on the way. 7:30 am. Wow… I better hurry. I shut the bathroom door and locked it. No need for Renee to walk in and see me… I rubbed my eyes and my knuckles came back caked with mascara. Gross. I scrubbed a layer of skin off my face and looked at my reflection in the mirror. My cheeks were still red, whether from last night or the facial scrub… I would never know. My eyes seemed more subdued and I looked presentable.

"Bella? Bella are you in there?" My mom rapped at the bathroom door.

"Yeah Mom! I'll be out in a sec!"

I opened the door to see my mom standing there grinning.

"Um… Did… something happen Mom?" I stepped cautiously out into the hallway.

"Oh… nothing Bells… Just… get dressed! Wear something nice… and put on some makeup!" She pushed me into my room.

Ok. Something's definitely up. But I took Renee's advice and found something nice to wear. Dark grey skinny jeans with a dark purple tank top and a black cardigan on top. I curled my lashes, applied a thin coat of mascara, then dabbed on the tiniest bit of shimmery purple eyeshadow. There, not too showy, but still showy enough. I never used to be such a girly girl… But moving in with Renee changed all that. I used to live with my dad, Charlie. He was… the quiet type. He didn't go out, I didn't go out… But Renee is the opposite. She's bubbly and outgoing.

"Bella!" She yelled.

"Coming!"

I pulled on ballet flats and ran down the stairs nearly tripping on the last one. And then stopped. Because standing in the doorway was him. Edward. In MY doorway? How? Why? What? The confused expression must have shown on my face because he laughed.

"Hey Bella." He walked towards me. My breathing hitched up and my heart went out of control. Next thing I knew I was lying on the couch with a cold towel on my forehead. I fainted. Of all the embarrassing things to do… I fainted.

"Um… Bella. Are you… alright?" Edward was sitting on a chair by the couch.

"Hmm? Yeah… I'm fine. Just… hungry…" Lame excuse… He was probably used to fans fainting when he got near.

"No problem Bellakins!" Renee sing-songed. Bellakins? Has she lost her mind? She brought over a large plate of blueberry chocolate chip pancakes and maple syrup. Woah. She's cooking? Yep my mother has lost her mind.

"Wow Mrs. Swan! These look amazing!" Edward smiled.

"And they taste even better! Dig in kids!"

Kids? My mom… has gone insane… I sat up slowly. Wow, those pancakes really do smell good. Mouthwatering in fact. Renee set a plate in front of both Edward and me. She was using our best china. For Edward's sake I guess. I didn't think about it too much. The pancakes were distracting. I grabbed three, as gracefully as I could manage. And, once again, gracefully tried to cut them into bite sized pieces. I chewed slowly and watched Edward out of the corner of my eye. He was looking at me too. I blushed furiously and lowered my eyes.

"Um, so… Edward… Why exactly are you here?"

"Well…" He grinned. "I thought since you lived in the area… we could go… places together."

"Ah… so you want me to be your tour guide?"

"Kinda I guess… We could maybe go to a few parks? Have lunch, see a movie?"

"Parks… lunch… movie… doesn't sound so much like a tour of anywhere special…"

"Do you know anywhere special?" He smirked at me.

"Well… not really… I… don't go out much…"

"Hmm… interesting." He smiled that crooked smile and my heart melted.

"So… is that it?" I wanted to stay out all day with him… all week… all year…

"Well… maybe we could go to a nice restaurant for dinner? Maybe do something afterwards? Clubs?"

"I'm not quite the clubbing type…"

"We'll get Alice to come with us… we can stop by the hotel to change…" He was talking more to himself now.

"I dunno…" I muttered.

He turned his golden, smoldering gaze to me. "Please Bella? For me?"

I couldn't hold my ground against that look. His eyes were molten gold. "Fine…" I grumbled.

"Yes!" He sounded as excited as a little kid on Christmas morning.

I rolled my eyes. Just then Renee came back in. Edward explained, in much less detail, where we were going. She was more than happy. I wasn't much of the dating type. Not that I didn't get asked out. There was this one guy, Mike Newton, who was annoyingly persistent. I just hadn't met anyone who I really clicked with. Then I heard Edward's voice. And saw those honey eyes and it was love at first sight. And now I was going clubbing with Edward Cullen… Life couldn't possibly get any better. I mentally happy danced.

"Bella? Earth to Bella?" Edward tapped my head.

"Huh? Sorry… zoned out for a second." I blushed. Yet again.

Edward laughed his musical laugh. "You blush a lot, you know?"

I blushed deep scarlet.

"I rather enjoying making you blush." He grinned evilly at me. "Anyways, let's get going!"

He grabbed my hand and practically pulled me out the door. I was so stunned by this hand holding that I almost didn't notice the car. Almost. A shiny silver Volvo. It was sleek, it was glossy, it was amazing.

"This is your car?" I looked at him in awe.

"Yep. Just got it." He patted the car. "My baby right here."

"Oh dear god, please don't be one of those car obsessed guys…" I groaned.

"No, no. I'm not obsessed. I just love this car."

He opened the door for me, a real gentleman and closed it quietly when I got in. He climbed into the driver's seat. I sat back and enjoyed the leather seats and high quality stereo system. My mom was standing in front of the house. Wait… was she crying? That's my mother… overdramatic. I rolled the window down.

"Bye Mom!" I yelled.

"Bye honey! Have fun!" She sniffled.

Then Edward pulled away from the sidewalk.
