HI guys!
Well thanks for you opinions :] they are greatly appreciated! And of course you guys are awesome for reviewing….so let me cut to the chase.
Here you go….
I headed to Newton's after Edward left.
It was my turn to restock the store.
I was at the bows and arrow section when I heard a loud crash. I turned around in time to see the display of gun cleaner I just set up go crashing to the floor. Luckily none of the cans burst open. I look up to see what happened to cause this, and a see a blushing boy looking scared.
"Edward?"
He clears his throat. "Yeah, sorry about that. It was an accident. I wasn't looking where I was going." He starts blushing again, but I don't know why.
I laugh. "It's ok. You're sort of klutzy, aren't you?"
"Yeah, Emmett makes fun of me all the time for that."
"It's ok; I'm a klutz, too."
I go over and start to pick the stuff up.
"I'll help you; I mean it is my fault." He says leaning down and picking up containers.
"Thanks."
After we set up the display again I go back to re-stocking the bows and arrows and Edward is still standing there with his and in the pockets of his jeans.
"So Edward, are you looking for anything, or do you need help with anything?"
He laughs, but it's a low laugh. He just says, "no I was just looking at something."
"You know," I tell him, "you should just get a job here, you come here everyday. And you get a 15% discount when you shop here." I was sort of joking but I do want to know why he is always here.
He does this smirk thing "Do you think they would actually give me a job, I think Mike sort of hates me."
"Who cares about him?" I said with a roll of my eyes. Of course he would be concerned with Mike and not see that I'm sort of flirting with him.
He laughs again. "Uh, well do you need any help?" He asked.
I look at him. "You want to help me re-stock?"
"Yeah I mean if you don't need any help, you don't have to say yes, but I just sort of…well I sort of like…" I gulp loudly
He looks down and starts blushing shoving his hands deeper in his pockets."…I sort of like organizing stuff. It relaxes me." He finishes looking me in the eyes.
And here I thought he was going to admit to liking me in the middle of Newton's but no, he just like helping.
"Yeah, I mean it's sort of boring, but go ahead. Just hang the bows next to the correct labels, the same goes with the arrows."
He silently walks over and starts putting the items where they belong.
We work in silence for a few minutes then, "Bella?"
"hmm?"
"Um, well…., uh, you don't have to tell me this if you don't want to uhh, but…do you have a boyfriend?" The last part came out like a gust of wind.
I smiled to the shelf that I was working on, "No, I don't" I tried to say evenly.
"Okay" Edward said, but it sounded like he was talking more to himself.
After about a minute I asked, "Do you?"
"Do I what?" He asked, he sort of sounded smug.
I turned to look at him, and he was looking at me with that smirk on his face.
"You know what I'm asking, just tell me."
"Do I…have pants on? Then yes, I do." He said smiling.
I rolled my eyes. "Edward, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Nope, I don't" I smiled and said thank you before turning back to the shelf and smiling at it again.
At one point Edward's arm bumped mine and I felt that electric feeling again and I turned to him. He was looking at me too, and our arms were still touching and I was just starring into the dark green pools of his eyes. They were sucking me in, telling me to come closer, and Edward was leaning closer and closer. I was almost there, touching his amazing lips.
"Bella, there you are!"
And then I hated Mike.
"Oh hey Mike I said straightening up, pulling my arm away from Edward's.
"I'm closing up soon, so you can leave. Do you need to buy something Cullen?"
I didn't miss the change in his voice when he mentioned Edward, it was almost hostile.
"Oh yeah, I do."
"I'll check you out then." Mike said.
"Okay just let me go get it."
I went back to the break room and got my stuff as I walked out the doors I saw that Edward bought the same bait again, I would have to ask about that tomorrow.
"Bye Edward, see you tomorrow." I said with a smile and a wave.
He smiled back and said bye.
"Bye Bella!" Mike said
"Bye" Thanks for ruining possibly one of the greatest moments of my life.
As I got into my car I realized that I almost kissed Edward Cullen, but of course Mike had to find me. Stupid boy!
I wake up happier than usual. I'm so happy that Charlie notices.
"What's with you Bells?"
"Nothing, Dad, today's just a good day."
"The day has barely begun. Tell me what's up. Are you on drugs?"
"No, Dad, I can just tell today's going to be great. I mean it's sunny outside. I can't believe it." I tell him smiling wider.
"Sure, maybe it's your hormones."
"Ok I'm leaving see you later Char- Dad."
I can't wait to see Edward. As soon as I pull up to school I'm looking for him. I see Emmett's truck but no one is in it.
I go through my day without seeing Edward until lunch.
He blushes when he sees me and mouths hi from his seat from across the cafeteria. I wave back to him and I can tell that there is a big goofy smile on my face.
'Okay Bella if you are going to make goofy faces at him the whole time go and sit with him." Rose told me.
"I can't just go and sit with him."
"You did yesterday." Alice commented
"Yesterday I had a reason, if I go over today I will be like stalking him, I don't want to scare him."
"Didn't you say that he has gone to Newton's everyday since you first saw him?" Jasper asked.
No, not Jasper too! He was the only one I could talk to without Edward coming up.
"Yeah, so?"
"I think you aren't stalking, I think you're the one being stalked." He told me, a smile coming to his lips.
Alice and Rose started laughing.
"Oh shut-up! If he was stalking me he would be hiding in my bushes and trying to sneak in my house."
"You don't know what he does at night." Alice chipped in.
"Guys, new subject."
"You know we're messing with you Bella." Rose said
"I bet he doesn't stalk you," Jasper said, "…all the time that is."
I just gave them the silent treatment the rest of lunch.
The bell rang and I hurried to class. Edward was there already. I decided to ask him if he was coming to Newton's or my house, because I would have to mention it to Charlie…and fast.
"Hi Edward!"
He was looking at his hands shyly; when he looked up he had a smile on his face that mirrored his own. "Hello Bella Swan."
I laugh. "Why do you say my full name?"
He blushes "I sort of like saying it." He whispers and he looks down again.
I smile wider, "Well I was wondering if you decided if you wanted to hang out with me at Newton's or my house?"
"Hang out? I thought we were doing homework?" He said with a smile.
"You know what I mean."
He thought for a minute. "I can't decide."
"Well how about you come to Newton's, because I'm usually bored there and then if you are not tired with me you can come to my house?' I tried to not sound too eager.
He smiled to himself. "Sounds like a good plan."
"Good."
Mr. Banner starts class finally we get partner work, it's just labeling the part of a cell, but I don't care I can talk to Edward.
I don't know what was wrong with me but they way he was saying mitochondria in that voice of his was turning me on. A LOT! I started shifting in my seat.
"Are you alright?" he asked with an amused expression on his face.
"Oh yeah." I say, blushing like and idiot.
He lets it slide. We are done first and he goes and turns the paper in.
"So Bella…I was wondering…umm about this weekend…" then the bell rings. Are you serious?
"Go ahead Edward."
"No forget it. I will see you later."
He smiles and starts to leave.
I sit there for a minute trying to walk to Spanish. I finally make it. I'm pretty sure I'm failing Spanish right now; I suck at it but whatever. Edward is a good distraction from Spanish so I think about him. The bell rings I try to get out of school as fast as I can and over to Newton's.
I get there and put my stuff in the break room.
Thirty minutes pass with Mike talking my ear off about some unimportant crap, when Edward walks through the doors.
"Edward!" I run over towards him, way to play it cool Bella.
"Hey Bella Swan."
"Hi." I say grinning up at him. I take in his appearance. The sun that was here this morning has disappeared because Edward has rain in his hair. If you didn't think Edward was attractive before, which I don't know why a single person would think that, you would really think he's attractive now. He has water droplets in his hair that make him look like he walked out of a magazine. His glasses are slightly fogged up from the temperature difference. His black T-shirt is clinging to his body from the water that got on hit, hugging what looks to be his well toned chest. And his jeans are hugging is adorable butt, oh yeah Alice will notice his butt. I think he notices me ogling him, because he starts to do that adorable smirk thing.
He clears his throat. "So what's up?" He asked.
"I'm sad that the sun went away. I hate the rain."
"I love the rain." He said looking out the window
"Why?"
"Maybe I'll tell you later, how about we work on homework unless you have to work?"
"Nope, it just me and you, and well…Mike but we can ignore him."
"ok"
"Edward, are you good at Spanish?"
"Yes"
'Really? Can you help me?"
"Of course"
He gets my text book from behind him. He starts saying stuff in Spanish, but I'm watching the way his lips move, and how his tongue moves up and down when he's talking. Or how when he looks at me he tilts his head to the sit just a little bit. Or how he pushes his glasses up on his nose in the most adorable way.
Who ever knew going homework could be this sensual?
"did you get that Bella?"
"hmmmm, oh what?"
"bonita…what does it mean?"
"oh I know this one…this was like Spanish one stuff wasn't it?" I ask him.
He laughs, "yeah I think so."
"I feel so stupid!"
"How about I give you a hint?" He asked
"Ok"
"When I think of Bonita I think of you."
"That wasn't a good hint, Edward."
He laughs to himself again. 'Ok it's an adjective."
"Come on and tell me Edward!"
"Nope, I want you to figure it out."
"Bella, I need your help." Mike called from one of the aisles.
"I'll be right back." I told Edward.
Turns out Mike needed a lot of help. One of the cans of gun cleaner somehow leaked and we had to clean all 10 gallons of it up. Then I had to finish re-stocking the shelves from last night. Edward said he would help me with that. This made me remember last night and our almost kiss.
I sighed out loud I guess because Edward asked, "What's wrong?"
"Huh?"
"You sighed."
Embarrassment took over my face. "Oh nothing…umm do you know what time it is?"
"5:30. Why?"
"My shift is over!" I said smiling.
We went to the break room and got all of our books and stuff. I went and said bye to Mike, I noticed the death glare he gave Edward. Edward followed me to my car. He opened the door for me.
"Thanks." I said trying to hold in a giggle.
"So umm, do you want to come over to my house?" I asked him
He looked me in the eyes. "Sure if that's alright with you, I remember how to get to your house."
With that he walked over to his car. A silver Volvo? I laughed to myself. On the ride home the rain started coming down harder.
I pulled up to the house and Edward was already there standing put in the rain looking up to the sky, the rain covering him again. It made him look even more delectable.
He heard me pull up.
His hands were in his pockets, he just seemed so shy at the moment, but as soon as he saw me his face lit up in a smile.
I got out of the car and smiled back I turned away from him to shut the door. The rain was coming down even harder now. I needed to get inside before I was soaked.
I turned around Edward was there. I mean right there, like six inches from me.
I looked into his eyes.
Those beautiful deep pools of green.
Something was different, there was something there that usually isn't…confidence, maybe?
"Edward, what are you do"
"Bella" He interrupted me, putting his arms on either side of my head pinning me to the truck. He took another step closer.
I could feel his whole body against mine, and I mean all of his body.
His lips were only three inches from mine.
"Do you remember what bonita means?"
Was he seriously bringing up Spanish? Right now?
I couldn't think his breath hit my face and I could tell my breath was hitting his face because his glasses started to fog up and his eyes were hypnotizing me.
"Huhhh?"
He made an attractive low throaty chuckle.
He ran his hand up to my cheek and pushed away the hair that was wet there. This was so not like Edward. The Edward I knew was afraid to talk too much. This one didn't have a problem with being close to me, and I mean really close.
"Bella, in Spanish Bonita means beautiful, pretty."
Why does this matter, then it hit me! He said that he would use bonita to describe me. He thought I was beautiful pretty.
"OHhhh…" I said. He laughed again. The rain was still coming down. Both of his hands were on my face now bringing me closer to his head. The last thing I saw was his lips and then Edward Cullen kissed me in the rain, and then I kissed Edward Cullen in the rain finally running my fingers in my hair. I started to attack his mouth and he started attacking mine. I tried to get closer to Edward; he finally got it and pulled me up while I wrapped my legs around him so he wouldn't have to lean down. Now I could feel the muscles in his chest through his shirt. I ran out of breath and had to break the kiss and I smiled like I've never smiled before.
I looked at him again.
He was smiling at me with that beautiful face and the lips that I longed to kiss again. He leaned his forehead against mine. Putting his lips against mine.
"Bella?" I felt his lips moving against my own.
"Yes?"
"This is why I love the rain." He said kissing me again.
So what did you think?
I hope I didn't disappoint with their first kiss.
Tell me what you think. :]
I'm happy Edward made the first move! She was surprised!
Oh, and do you think they are moving too fast?
