SM invented the twilight world and owns it…not me :[
As I walked into the house I was on an Edward high.
I walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. "Hey Dad." I said with a smile.
"Bella, why didn't you tell me you were going out?"
Of course he had to ruin my good mood.
"I thought you were working until seven, and I didn't want to interrupt you, I was just trying to be nice. But I did leave a note before I went to school; I put it on the table."
"I know, I saw it, but you could have called." He said.
"Sorry dad, I'll do that next time."
"Anyway, was that the Edward kid again?"
I started to blush, "Yeah, it was…" I had a feeling this was about to get awkward.
I got my sandwich and went to sit at the table with Charlie.
"So are you guys like…boyfriend and girlfriend?" He asked.
"I don't know." I said blushing, obviously Charlie didn't get that I didn't want to talk about it.
He laughed, 'How do you not know if you are going out with someone?" He asked.
Okay I didn't get the memo that Charlie had become one for conversations.
I sighed, "I don't know Dad we haven't really talked about it."
He rolled his eyes, "So you guys were in the driveway for quite some time before I came out."
"You were watching me?" I asked horrified.
"Don't get mad I was walking up the steps and I saw you guys pull in, then I went upstairs."
"Huh-huh sure you did." I said taking a bite of my sandwhich.
"What were you doing? I mean were you talking…or umm.."
"DAD! I really don't think that's any of your business."
With that he got mad. "Bella, you are my daughter, your entire well-being is my business. Now listen…boys your age, they like to talk, impress, you and they may want you to do a few…favors for them…"
Oh my GOD! Please shut up, please shut up.
"Dad…we don't have to have this talk."
"Yes we do Bella, I'm your parent you need to be informed, anyway as I was saying.."
The phone rang. I ran to it. I was so happy that I wanted to kiss the person who called.
"Hello?"
There was nothing.
"Hello?" I asked again
Then someone cleared their throat.
"Bella?" Someone whispered
"Edward?" I heard my Dad groan. I rolled my eyes.
'Yeah, hey, it's me."
I laughed thinking about my previous thought.
"Hi, what's up?"
'Ummm…I was wondering…well if…" he trailed off.
"Go ahead." I told him.
"If I could talk to your Dad?" He asked quickly.
"You want to talk to my Dad?" I asked not believing what I was hearing.
"Yes, please." He said shyly.
By then my Dad was starring at me, he came up and grabbed the phone from me.
"Please don't embarrass me Dad, please?" I asked him.
He just rolled his eyes. "Hello Edward."
For the next three minutes I watched Charlie's face and listened to his side of the conversation.
There were a lot of yes, I know and I'm not sure and then there was a long pause like he was thinking about something. Then there was a finally yes. Then he said goodbye and handed me the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bella." He seemed happier now.
"What was that all about?" I asked him.
"It was just something I had to do…you'll find out later…anyway if you aren't doing anything tomorrow I was wondering if you'd like to hang out?...with me?"
I smiled, "Yeah I'd love to but I have to work tomorrow night, so I have to be at Newton's by five."
"Oh that's fine." He said.
"Okay."
"Umm..I'll pick you up tomorrow morning…around nine?"
"Yeah that sounds good." I said smiling.
"Okay well…goodnight Bella, sleep well." The way he said it made my heart melt and this is all I could come up with, "You too."
And then I hung up…wow, I have such a way with words, don't I?
Then I went to see Charlie...maybe he would tell me.
"So what did you and Edward talk about?"
'Goodnight Bella" he said kissing me on the forehead walking towards the stairs.
"Come on Daddy, please tell me?" I asked putting on the best puppy dog face I could.
All he said was "Good night Bella." Again.
I guess I would just have to wait.
I decided to watch television for a bit, but it couldn't distract me some I decided to get some extra rest for my date tomorrow with Edward, or at least I considered it a date.
As soon as I woke up I was excited! I was going to spend most of my day.
And hopefully without any interruptions!
It was now 8:45. I had obsessive washed my hair and got dressed in some jeans and a nice white shirt.
I didn't want to over dress because I didn't know what we were doing today.
I was sitting on the steps near the front door just waiting for a knock.
Charlie was just watching me and he rolled his eyes.
Then there was a knock at the door. I practically attacked it.
"Have a good time." Charlie said in a monotone.
Then I opened the door and there was Edward in all his hot glory with his casual messy hair and those glasses…and those green eyes.
"Hey Bella" He said a huge smile on his face, I'd never seen him smile so big.
"Hey Edward. What's up with you?"
"Nothing, you ready?"
"Yeah let's go…and where are we going?"
"Uhh it's a surprise." He said keeping that huge smile on his face.
He ran to the passenger side of his car.
"Do you want me to drive?" I asked confused.
"No, I am opening your door for you." He said shyly.
"Oh." I said blushing like an idiot.
I hopped in and he shyt the door behind me. He seems so happy.
"So Bella," He said to me after he hopped in and began driving., "when's your birthday?"
"October 21. What about you?" (Yes, I know this isn't Bella's real birthday, but I her birthday already passed in the story if I was to use her real one)
"OH mine is on June 20."
"So your birthday is about a month away?"
"Yeah."
"What is your favorite thing to do?"
"I like reading and writing, but I also just like sitting outside in the sun. It just…feels nice…like the sun is hugging you or something. I know it sounds corny." I said
"I don't think it sounds corny." He relied I think he was debating on if he should touch me because I kept on seeing his hand moving on and off the steering wheel.
"And if you like the sun you'll enjoy what we are doing today."
'And what is that?" I asked.
"You'll find out soon enough." He said with that smug grin on his face.
Then I noticed we had stopped and we were at a hiking trail.
"Umm…we are hiking?" I asked nervously.
"Yeah…I promise it will be okay." He said looking me in the eyes. And it really wasn't fair when he did that because my breath started to speed up and I lost my train of thought.
"Okay." I said dreamily.
"Well let's go."
We began our trek through the forest. We had been walking about ten minutes when I tripped over a branch, but before I could realize I was going to fall Edwards's strong muscular arms were around me.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
I was mighty fine because he was still holding me in an embrace. "Yeah." I said lamely.
"You better watch where you are going because we have to go off the trail soon.
"What?" I squeaked. With that he set me back up, but before I could get disappointed in the loss of contact his hand went down to mine. And I smiled and when I looked at him he had that amazing smile on his face.
"Don't worry," he told me, "I'll be right here." And with that he squeezed my hand.
And then I didn't have a worry in the world as he led me off the path into the wild trees. All I could focus on was our hands and how every once in a while he would randomly squeeze them and then I would squeeze them back. It was like a little game.
After about another fifteen minutes he spoke up.
"Ummm Bella…have you uhhh….uhhh ever had err, umm…boyfriend?"
"I've only had one."
"Was it serious?"
I laughed. "I thought it was, but apparently it wasn't to him."
"What happened?" He asked
"He cheated on me with some slut, but if he didn't like me enough to not stay with me, then he wasn't worth it."
Edward was quiet for a minute then, "Well he was a stupid jerk to give you up."
I smiled and blushed, "Thanks Edward."
"Don't thank me; I am simply stating the truth." All that did was make me blush deeper.
"So have you had a girlfriend?"
He blushed. "Only one, but it wasn't serious, and she wasn't nearly as amazing as you." He said looking at me.
Wow, okay, someone's going overboard on the compliments today, not that I am complaining.
"We are here." He told me.
We had stop in a circular meadow. The sun was shinning down warming the earth. The ground had many flowers scattered about and the trees danced in the gentle breeze. It was like a picture.
"Wow. How did you find this place?"
"Emmett and I were bored one day and we just decided to go off the trail, I come here to think."
"Well it's beautiful."
I said lying on the ground to feel the sun warm my body.
"Hmmmm." He answered. I opened my eyes to see him starring at me. He came and sat next to me and oh so shyly took my hand.
I smiled at him and he smiled at me.
We sat peacefully for a couple minutes.
"So I called your house last night." Edward began.
I laughed "Yeah I remember you talked to Charlie more than me." I said looking at his face.
He looked nervous.
"Did he tell you what we talked about?"
"No. He said you would tell me."
"Good." He smiled.
Then he was silent again.
So I decided to start a conversation.
"I love the sun; I wish it wouldn't rain as much." I said closing my eyes again, soaking in the sun.
"Bella…do you want to be my girlfriend?"
My eyes pooped open.
I starred at him for minutes. Did he seriously just ask me that? Am I dreaming? Is this a joke?
"Bella?" He said my name getting nervous.
Then I just kissed him. I hope he got what I was saying.
I enjoyed the feeling of him responding to me. His smooth, soft lips moving against mine in sync. I pulled away when I needed air.
"Ummm so…was that uhh…yes?
I laughed.
"Yes, Edward that was a definite yes!"
Then he smiled and I smiled too.
"Is that what you called my house for?"
He looked embarrassed. "Yeah I sort of…err asked your dad for permission."
He was so sweet.
"I hope he didn't scare you too much." I said squeezing his hand.
"All that matter is that he said yes." He said with a smug grin on his face.
And with that he made his lips meet mine, silencing me for quit a while.
Oh Edward…what a sweetie
Ok so I know I didn't use Bella's birthday that is in the book but I had to use a different one for the story.
