Chapter One: Beauty
Edward's POV
"OhMyGod.." I whispered mostly to myself. At my doorway was the most gorgeous lady I have ever seen. I turned to Jackie.
"Who is that?" I asked my maid, hoping she knew enough about royals to know who the beautiful princess was. My eyes were still on her when Jackie answered.
"To be honest Princ- I mean Edward- I don't know." Then she excused herself and walked towards my mom. Well, I am going to find out myself then, and started to walk to where she was. But I got side tracked the minute I took a step.
"PRINCE EDWARD!" I looked in the direction my name was being called or yelled out. Ugh! It was Elizabeth. Elizabeth is my ex-girlfriend, actually come to think of it, I don't know why I dated her in the first place…
"Edward, how have you been sweetheart?" She had thrown herself on me into a hug, I had to struggle to keep my balance after she let go.
"Pretty good Elizz, you?"
"Awesome!" and then she launched into a story about some guy she met, according to her he was, "hot." I tried to follow along but trust me, Elizz is someone who could go on and on about grass, so I just "uh-huh," and "really?" at the right moments. I got tired of Elizabeth after awhile so I gave her a lame excuse, and left.
Now where is she? Did she leave already? Then I spotted some pink, sparkly blur right in front of me. "Edward!" exclaimed a chirpy voice that could only belong to my best girl friend, Alice. I fought off the urge to groan or scream. No one can leave me alone can they? I turned around to face Alice, a force of happy nature.
"Hey there Ali. Do you need something?"
"Nope," she popped the 'p' and was smiling like an idiot, "I just wanted to see you."
"Okay, well….now you saw me. I'm kind of busy, so I'll just be on my-"
"Is Jasper here? Have you seen him?" she interrupted.
"Not that I know of. He's supposed to meet me, Rose and Emm at the gazebo at 5." I glanced at my watch, 4:50. "Speaking of which, I got to go now if I want to be there on time. Want to come along?"
"Sure!" Well Alice sounded excited…oh wait, she always does, "the gazebo out back in the forest near the creek?" I rolled my eyes.
"What other one is there?"
"Okay, wait here, I'm going to get my bag." and she skipped into the crowd
….Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock.. 5 minutes later.
"Edward, come on!" Alice was ushering me out to my car.
"What took so long?"
"I changed outfits, duh." sigh, only Alice would change just to go to the woods with our friends. She's a fashion freak, always wanting to be on the latest trends. She redecorated my whole closet, actually she redecorated all of her friends and family's closet. My already designer clothing were thrown out and replaced with even bigger designer labels and trends, even my bath robe and wallet were big names.
I guess that was how we met. We were both 4 years old, at the park, she didn't know I was Prince Edward, Son of King Carlisle and Queen Esme, older brother of Princess Rosalie Lillian Hale. But she did know who I was wearing. She somehow figured out who I was because the next day I opened up the door and she was standing on my doorstep smiling yet yelling at me for not telling her I was Prince Edward. Ugh, shiver, I hate being called Prince or Sir, it makes people act differently. So I rather have everyone call me just plain Edward.
I finally made it to the garage with Alice dragging me behind her. I smiled when I saw my new car, sigh, love it and all my other cars too, they're like my babies. An Aston Martin DBS-UB 2010 Limited Edition. There are only 40 available in the world, 20 Volantes and 20 Coupes. I got the coupe of course in Azurite Black. My 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder in white. Alice got me it for my 22nd birthday last June, and my sliver Volvo S60R that I had since I was 17. If I were to count all the cars I have owned in all those years I would need probably 10 sheets of paper, college ruled. You have know idea how many crashes and how some of the cars just break down after a few uses.
But the one vehicle that stood out the most against my cars and my parents' cars, was the bright yellow Porsche 911 Turbo. Alice.
"Ali, how did that get in here?" I asked confusion could be heard in my voice, "I thought you got your dad to drop you off."
"Oh I did, but not before I put my beauty in here."
"Uh-huh…well we got to hurry, Emmett and Rosalie hate waiting."
"Okay, but you're driving! Are you going to stop stroking your car so we could get a move on?"
"Oh," I hadn't realized I was admiring my DBS, "Come on we'll take this one so we could get there faster." I was grinning like a moron at the chance to show it to Emmett and Rose. Emmett would flip, Rosie would probably stare a hole in it and start tinkering with the engine as soon as we get home.
The ride into the forest was quiet, but I liked it that way. You could always wish to get silence when you're with Alice and her giggy-ness. I wonder why she was so still, but that was pushed aside when I thought of the Bell of the ball, when she caught me looking at her and our eyes met, she blushed a light pink that was really pretty on her pale skin, her eyes were wide and was a beautiful shade of brown, almost black, she wore natural colored makeup or maybe she just looked that pretty, everything about her said beautiful… I was deep in thought when Alice suddenly screamed, "LOOK OUT!"
"Ahh!" I yelled frightened, we barely missed the huge tree after I swiveled back to the dirt path. "Must you yell and startle me?" I exclaimed, breathless.
"Well you were the one wanting to go into a tree!" She said also breathless. There was silence again and that wouldn't be good if I was lost in my mind distracted, thinking of her. So I asked Alice random questions that came to mind to keep me busy.
"Alice?"
"Huh?" Hmm, she too sounded and looked far way.
"Uhhh…" I racked my mind for something to say, "What's your favorite place to go? Or a place you want to visit?" She got animated then.
"Ooooh! I love Paris but I go there every week, hmm… OH MY GOD! Have you ever been outside of Europe before?" She didn't wait for me to answer, "You should go to California! They have awesome beaches, and the weather is nice unlike here in England, it's mostly hot and the ocean is warm. The sun comes out to play almost everyday, and I absolutely love Beverly Hills! The clothes are amazing, lots of designer boutiques the same as Paris, and don't get me started on New York! It's kind of crowded like here but it's beautiful at night, all the hotels…talking about hotels! The casino! Try Vegas, it's fabulous! And Texas has about everything, country side, cities and towns, it's also hot there, great malls, even beaches could be found in Texas! Have you been to Forks? Forks, Washington? It's a small town on the Olympic Peninsula and it's soo green! Rains a lot though.. But I like the small town life, you know everyone and everything that goes on. It has this special touch…kind of mysterious… oh but the places where I desperately haven't gone to but want to see, has to be Hawaii, Florida, and Japan!"
Wow….well at least she talked through the rest of the drive and we made it right after she stopped babbling. I need to remember to take her to Hawaii, Florida and Japan for her birthday in a few month. The Porsche was her Christmas gift last year.
Well everyone was here, there was Rose's cherry red BMW M3 Convertible, Emm's blood red Jeep Wrangler, and next to it was a stunning red Ferrari 458 Italia with dark tint that I could probably assume was Jasper's. Wonder why he didn't take his Ducati 848 motorcycle that I gave him? He always rode it when we came here, no matter what, unless it was broken.
"Jasper?" Alice called out, she was already across the river and in the gazebo. When crossed the bridge and came back next to me she sat down.
"Ali? What's wrong? They might just be hiding from us."
"I know, and I'm not going to look for them, we just wait and Emmett would get tired of it so he will be the first to came out."
"True." and I sat down next to her. I felt an acorn or something fall and hit my head so I looked up, nothing, maybe it was just a bird. Then another one and then on Alice too. Alice got up so I stood and started to walk around. I hate when they play this hide and seek game. Emmett is such a kid at heart.
"Ahh!" screeched Alice, I turned to see her all wet, and muttering a string profanities. I laughed, and she glared at me.
"EMMETT!" Alice yelled, "YOU'RE PAYING FOR THIS!"
"How do you know it's Emmett?" I asked.
"Who else would do this?" She asked back, raising one of her eyebrows. Well she does have a point.
"But where are they?" She shrugged and was stomping towards my car. I unlocked the doors for her and she grabbed her bedazzled designer tote bag and slammed the door then marched over to a tree. I continued to look for everyone.
"UGH!" I groaned as a huge water balloon hit my head and broke, pouring water all over me, getting my suit soaked. "ALICE IS GONNA KILL ME!" she hates when I ruin any of the clothes she bought me. Alice came out from behind the tree, "What?" Then she saw the look on my face with was probably anger, worry, and bewildered and laughed. She was all dried and had changed.
"Here," she dug in her bag slash wardrobe malfunction fixer and pulled out jeans and a button up collared shirt, "change back here, there's a towel on the branch. I'll go find the douf. I grabbed the outfit and stripped down then dried myself up. I was half way done buttoning up my shirt when I heard Alice.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU RUINED MY TOP! IT'S SILK SO IT CAN'T GET WET! YOU OWE ME 155 DOLLARS AND 98 CENTS!" I shook my head, only Alice would wear a silk top that cost that much into a forest. Looks to me like she's the idiot but I didn't dare say it out loud.
I finished getting dressed just in time to see Alice climb up the tree house and Jasper jump out through a window with Rose jumping out the other. Poor Emmett. He's to big to fit out of there with all his muscles. Jasper ran around behind me and was laughing quietly. To bad Rose jumped from the window facing the creek so she was trying to swim to land.
"Hey Edward I'm gonna be in my car listening to music pretending to sleep, okay?" I chuckled at Jasper. "Sure, Jazz."
Rose finally made it to the edge and looked my way so I ran towards her to help her out. "Aww, I'm all wet!" Rose said trying to shake the water out. Just then Alice came down slowly and carefully holding onto Emmett's ear. I gasp, I didn't want my sister to be hurt so I whispered urgently and swiftly to her, "Sorry, say you were swimming." and pushed her back in. She made a big splash and gasped very loudly yelling, "Edward!"
Alice looked over and narrowed her eyes. She was suspicious but I bended over and helped Rosalie out. "What are you doing in to water?"
"I was bored waiting for you and the mosquitoes kept biting me so I went swimming in the water, I got all the way over there," she pointed down the trail of the creek, then came back to see you standing near that tree, I tried to get out but the mud was slippery so I fell back in and called you to help me. Now here I am." I smiled at her convincing lie.
"Aww Rosie, sorry we took so long, Edward almost crashed us into a tree back on the dirt path." I looked at Alice and mouthed "thanks a lot" sarcastically at her.
"Did you not use bug spray? I have some if you want, but since you're wet I don't think it will stay on."
"Thanks Ali, but it's alright. Now will you let go of my boyfriend's ear?"
"Whatever." but she let go and Emmett was rubbing his now red ear.
I got "sleeping" Jasper out of his car and we all crossed the bridge to the gazebo where we talked and sat and just hang out, enjoying each other's company for about 2 hours and by then it was 7:30, we all watched the beauty of the sky when the sunset and then we drove back to the palace. Everyone will be sleeping over for the whole weekend and will leave Monday morning for school. Me and Rose always wanted to go to a public school with our friends, but we have personal tutors at home. I hope the girl is still at the ball my parents threw for me. I couldn't wait to just see her face again and the beauty that shines out of her.
