Chapter 7: Stars and Waves
I was positive about one thing: Edward Cullen was stinking filthy rich.
I saw a parked Volvo that looked like it was waiting for me that Saturday night. I saw Edward go out of the car. I was absolutely stunned. He owns a freaking' Volvo! "Don't just stare, Ride." he said with a smug face.
"Damn rich bastard" was all I could mutter. I didn't exactly know where he taking me, but it took us a long time to reach the place. I noticed that it wasn't the movie house or the mall. What was he doing?
"Bella, I know I promised you a movie but I thought that a walk on the beach would be better. There's this restaurant nearby and we could just eat on the beach, you know, like a campfire?" he said innocently.
"This was not part of it, Edward." I said as I shot him a look. "I'm sure about one thing though" he said. "What?" I asked. "That you prefer this rather than some dumb movie. Admit it, Bella." He teased. "Whatever" I shrugged and walked by the shore.
He set up the campfire and ordered the food. And there we were. By the campfire, eating dinner. I admit, I did not expect this from a guy like him. But life's full of surprise anyways.
"You want to know what's weird?" I started. "What?" he asked as chewed on a piece of hamburger. "We don't really know each other." I pointed out. "Yeah. I guess we don't. Well, I guess you already know that I'm Edward Cullen, son of the famous violin virtuoso, Carlisle Cullen. I play the violin but I'm not as good as my dad…yet." He introduced himself.
"My turn then, I'm Bella Swan, Daughter of Charlie who's not really known and I love playing the piano. I guess that's it about me." I said rolling my eyes.
The night went on and time seemed so slow. We enjoyed every single moment we spent getting to know each other. After eating, I was surprised when he grabbed me by the arm and ran, I didn't exactly know where we were heading towards to but I was excited about it anyway.
He stopped on his tracks and I absolutely saw nothing. It was completely dark. But I could still feel the sand on my feet, hear the waves approaching the shore and as I looked up, I saw the starry skies. "Lay down" he commanded. I lay down same time as he did.
I've always dreamt of stargazing and I never thought it would be this perfect. It was too good to be true. Edward Cullen, the most beautiful and flawless person alive was just right here, beside me, lying down as we both looked up to the starry sky.
