EPOV
I heard Bella's truck the minute Rose said she did.
Is she really human?
And if not, what else can she be?
Nothing else because she had blood, sweet smelling blood running through her veins and a heart beat that sounds beautiful.
So then what kind of human can she be?
I went back to finishing Rose's breakfast, hoping that I was doing it alright. I mean I've never cooked before because I don't have the need but I hope that all the food network watching I've done, Rose's food comes out edible.
Everyone upstairs heard Bella's truck coming up the driveway and Carlisle was pondering on Rose's character behavior. How could she be human, if she acted in some way like us?
Rose decided to go and get the door and as much as I said that it wasn't a problem for me to get it, she already beat me to the door. I could tell she opened it before Bella had the chance to even knock.
"Can I help you?" I heard Rose say as she opened the door.
"Uh yeah, is Edward home?"
"He's in the kitchen right now. I can go get him and tell him you're here"
"Thank you"
"Okay, I'll go get him. May I ask who's looking for him"
"Bella"
That's when I heard Rose walking towards the kitchen as I was finishing up her breakfast.
"Edward?"
I turned to look at her "Yes Rose?"
She smiled. "There's a pretty girl out there in your living room asking for you"
"Who is it?"
"She said her name's Bella"
"That's my girlfriend" I said as I set Rose's plate of breakfast on the island and she grabbed the stool she was sitting on earlier and smiled like a kid on Christmas morning.
"Oh cool" she said as I placed a glass of orange juice next to her.
"Enjoy breakfast, I'll be back in a minute"
"Thanks Edward" she said as she started eating her hash brown.
Walking into the living room I smelled her. And when I saw her I felt a smile plaster on my face.
I saw her cheeks flush, her heart beat accelerate.
My Bella.
When I reached her I grabbed her wrist and brought it up to my nose…closing my eyes…smelling.
My personal brand of heroine.
I opened my eyes and softly kissed her knuckles.
"Edward" she sighed.
"Good morning my love"
She smiled. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. I didn't know that you had company"
I shook my head. "Rose is a lost girl I found a couple of days ago in our meadow. I brought her back here to Carlisle to take care of her injuries. She's suffering from temporary amnesia"
"Oh. How come you didn't tell me?"
"I'm sorry love. I had other things on my mind and I didn't want to worry you"
"Is she okay?"
I nodded. "She's all healed and extremely hungry" I chuckled. I've never known another human who can eat that much in the morning.
"She's very pretty" Bella said as she looked down to her feet, biting her lip.
I lifted her chin making her look right into my eyes. "Silly girl. Never doubt my feelings for you Bella" I softly kissed her lips and felt her cheeks get hotter.
I smiled thinking of how jealousy makes everyone think irrationally. I remember the feeling very well and I hated it too.
I grabbed her hand and started pulling her to the kitchen. "Come on," I said. "I want you to meet her"
When we entered the kitchen I saw Rose finishing off her orange juice. Her entire plate…empty.
"You sure can eat" I said again.
"Can't help it," she said as she turned around, facing me and Bella. "it was amazing. Thanks again Edward"
I nodded and smiled, kind of proud of myself in a way because I was able to make something edible.
Then I saw Rose look at Bella and waved. "Hi again" she said.
"Hello" Bella greeted.
"Rose" she looked at me. "this is my girlfriend Bella"
"Nice to meet you Bella"
Bella nodded. "It's nice to meet you too"
"Edward, mind if I go back upstairs and listen to some music? I'm still kinda tired"
"Sure Rose go right ahead, I'll go back upstairs to see how you're doing before I go to school"
"Okay thanks" she said as she hopped off the stool and started out the kitchen. "It was nice meeting you Bella" she said as she walked out.
"You too"
"Did she sleep in your room?" she asked, turning to look at me.
I nodded. "Yes, she did. Why?"
"Edward I cannot believe you made a sick and injured person sleep on your couch. Isn't that unhealthy when you're injured?"
I smiled and chuckled.
She crossed her arms and looked at me. "What's so funny?"
"Bella, do you really think I'd do that to someone?"
She sighed uncrossing her arms. "No. So if she didn't sleep on your couch, where did she sleep?"
"She slept in the bed I had bought you"
She looked a little shocked. "You bought me a bed?"
I nodded. "Just in case you ever wanted to spend the night, you'd have somewhere comfortable to sleep. Besides I would never make you sleep on the couch"
"Why didn't you mention anything? I would've took you up on the sleepover. I sometimes feel that we need some alone time. Just me and you"
I nodded and hugged her to me.
I did miss our time together. Me hearing her call my name in her sleep. Me watching over those unprotected thoughts, learning more and more about her. I've missed that but for some reason that I've noticed is that I don't miss it as much as I should.
What is wrong with me?
I was about to tell her something but I didn't have enough time.
I looked at the person entering the kitchen. "Alice"
Bella looked behind me, letting me go and going over to Alice smiling happily and giving her a hug.
"Alice!" Bella just jumped into her arms all happy like a little kid.
"Hi Bella, we didn't know you were coming so early in the morning. what's up?"
She shook her head. "Nothing, I just came too see if you guys were coming to school today?"
I nodded my head. "Yes, I think it's good for us to attend school today. We'll be leaving an hour or so and I believe everyone's dressed and ready to go"
"Who will be staying here with Rose?" asked Alice.
"I don't know, I'm guessing Esme. Only if she doesn't have a problem with it until I come back and check up on her"
"Of course I have no problem with it Edward. I think I'll be able to look after Rose until you return home"
"Thank you Esme"
"Everything okay?" asked Bella.
"Everything's fine. I'm going to go upstairs and check on Rose" I kissed her on her forehead. "I'll be right back okay?"
She nodded her head while Alice grabbed her hand and dragged her to the living room to have -as she puts it- 'girl talk'
The minute I was walking up the stairs I heard one of my cd's playing.
Seems Rose was a fan of Alternative rock. Muse was at room volume and when I opened the door, I stood in the doorway smiling at what I was seeing.
Rose. Was dancing all around the room. She didn't know the words but she moved to the music almost with the beat, adding her own beat with her hips moving, her eyes closed, her smile. She looked radiant in a way I've never seen anyone look before.
Suddenly she stopped dancing and looked sideways in my direction.
"Hey Edward" she said, her eyes still closed. How did she know?
"Hey. How are you feeling?" I asked as she opened her eyes, turning all the way towards me with a small smile on her lips.
"I'm doing great" she said as she sat down on the edge of my bed, tugging her legs up under her chin. Her attention in the scenery outside the window.
"That's great" I said as I came to stand next to her. "I just came to tell you that I'm almost leaving and to tell you that Esme, my mother, will be looking after you today so anything you need just ask her okay?"
She nodded. "What time will you be back?"
"Well after I get out of school I'll be going to Bella's house for a while and then I'll come back here. So…I'll be back around six or seven"
She sighed softly and squeezed her arms tighter like she was afraid of something.
"Are you alright Rose?"
She nodded and let out a small breath. "Yeah, totally fine don't worry about me. You go have fun at school and I'll see you when you get back" she said as she turned to look at me with what looked like a strained smile on her face.
Maybe I should stay home with her? She looks like she's uncomfortable being with someone else here besides me?
"Don't you dare Edward" Alice. "You're going to school today with the rest of us. You can't just abandon Bella like that. Especially since you haven't seen her in a couple of days. don't you miss her even just a little?"
Of course Alice was right. I couldn't do that to Bella. And now that she mentioned it, I did miss Bella. It feels like it's been an eternity since I've seen her and I also don't want her hanging around that mutt only because I'm not around. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to her because I wasn't around.
So the choice is now clear to me. No matter how comfortable and safe I want Rose to feel in my home and around my family, along with helping her regain some parts of her memory, I can't choose anyone over Bella. She will always be first.
Why did it feel weird when I said that? Why did I feel like I was trying to convince myself of something else?
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Emmett's jeep come to life and going down the driveway.
I kissed Rose on the top of her head in an act of impulse and I think it shocked us both but if I did, neither of us said anything.
"I'll see you when I get back. Try to just relax today okay?" She nodded and smiled up at me. This time her smile looked real and my worries all faded. She was going to be fine.
I walked out of the room and when I reached the bottom of the steps I heard the music volume go a little higher and I smiled to myself picturing her dancing the way she was when I walked into the room no less that five minutes ago.
"Ready to go?" asked Bella when I went into the living room.
She nodded and smiled, walking towards me, taking my hand in hers. "Yeah, let's go before we get late"
I rolled my eyes. "You know that'll never happen with me" I said.
She smiled, shaking her head. "I know" she said.
We left the house, walking straight to my car. I knew I couldn't get to school in time with that monster truck of hers so I'm guessing that's why she didn't argue why we weren't taking her car.
I opened the door for her and she slid in with a smile on her face.
I really wish to know what she thinking right now. No amount of wishing could make that happen.
I closed her door making my way to the driver's seat, taking one look at the house I thought about Rose for a bit and hoped that she would be okay today.
I got in and turned on the car, already speeding away to another boring day at Forks High School.
So tell me what you guys thought of this?
I kind of liked being in Edward's head becuase I like my readers
guessing what's going on inside Rose's head.
Sneaky? Nah just normal as it can possibly get.
Huge Announcement - MTIT&T is going on a hiatous.
I don't know how long but if I'm estimating it's possibly until next month or by the end of month.
It's just that I'm blocked with how to put all my ideas into chapters for this story.
I mean everything I've been writing for the following chapters don't suit the story.
So everything I wrote had been dumped to the side and I'm starting fresh...which is hugely FRUSTRATING!
Still I want my freshman story to end well and continue well before it ends.
I think a lot of people know what I'm talking about right?
Anyway, I will be posting up chapters frequently with this story because they
keep coming and I always instantly act on something because I don't wanna lose any creativity.
Still I hope you guys stick by me while I'm going through this cuz you guys mean lotz!
So review, review, review
Peace In
