Chapter 6: Meet and Greet Edward P.O.V.
Edward really didn't know what it was that went through his sisters mind sometimes, he may have the ability to read minds but that doesn't make a difference when peoples thoughts don't make sense. For months now he has become more and more frustrated with her confusing and repetitive thoughts, it was really starting to annoy him. Now he finds himself surrounded by grinning family members in the middle of the mall car park in Port Angeles. Leaning against his Volvo he stared at the cloudy sky and wondered what he did in a previous life to get him stuck with this crazy family.
He was pulled from his thoughts by the most melodic sound he had heard in his lifetime......
......a laugh.
Snapping his head around, momentarily forgetting about the need to act human, and zeroed in on the source of the sound. There before him stood a beautiful brown-haired, green eyed beauty. Completely mesmerized by the sounds and sight that the boy was making Edward didn't notice the grinning faces of his family members sharing a look of affectionate victory.
Without saying a word to anyone Edward began to follow the human with the beautiful voice, he made sure to keep a distance so that he could observe the beauty from afar while his mind came up with ways to strike up a conversation with him. The rest of the Cullen's followed without saying a word, not vocally anyway, their minds were going miles a minute.
They followed the mysterious boy through the mall and Edward couldn't help but agree with Leo and Wyatt on the fact that Chris was too skinny. Both Esme and Leo had the same thought at the same time 'we will have to fatten him up sometime'.
It was when the angel went into the music store that Edward found the perfect opportunity to introduce himself. It seemed like the angel finally noticed that someone was watching him, so he looked up and scanned the room looking for his companions. After he returned back to the album he was holding he seemed to notice that he was being watched again, when he looked up again he met Edward's eyes and Edward looked into the most beautiful green eyes he has seen in his whole existence.
The blush that covered the face of the beauty before him was the most intoxicating sight he has seen in all his years, a sight that he will be perfectly content to see for the rest of his immortal life. He couldn't help but to let a smile spread across his face when he noticed the angels attempts to fade into the background, it was amusing to think that anything as beautiful as this creature in front of him could ever not be noticed.
He slowly walked over towards the creature until he was standing right in front of him. When the angel finally looked up Edward was nearly rendered mute.
"Hello." He muttered after what seemed like an eternity of silence.
Normal POV.
The smaller brunette of the pair blushed an even deeper shade of scarlet as soon as the word were out of the others mouth.
FOCUS CHRIS! He chastised himself as he tried to stutter out a response.
"Hi." Lame!!
The Adonis in front of him didn't seem to notice the apparent 'lameness' of the greeting as he just gave the smaller boy a crooked smile and then introduced himself. "It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Edward Cullen." He accompanied this with an outstretched gloved hand 'it wouldn't do for this fragile creature to become cold now would it'.
"Its nice to meet you too Edward, I am Chris Halliwell." He took the offered hand and shook it slightly, trying to ignore the tingling sensation that he felt even through the layer of the cloth. Both smiled at each other, Chris's earlier embarrassment seemed to disappear slightly as he realised that Edward not only a God like specimen of men, but also a gentleman. He vaguely wondered what other surprises this 'Edward' had for him...
...if only he knew.
