Come Monday, everyone in town heard about Friday night. Jessica, Bella, and Loren were totally taking it in. I mean come on, being the new girl was hard enough, but now this?
As I walked from Geometry with my
"new" and "suddenly popular" friends. We were in the lunch
line deciding weather or not to get a hamburger or chili -I went with
the hamburger because one, it came with fries and two, have you ever
heard the song?: Beans, beans the musical fruit, the more you eat…ok
gross, but you get were I'm going.- As I was buying lunch, and was
about to take my usual seat between Jessica and Bella, when Jessica
game me "the look".
"What?" I asked. If she was thinking
about taking my chocolate pudding -then she was wrong.
"Edward
Cullen is looking at you," she said, then rolled her eyes. "here
we go again," I heard her muttered. Then I looked over to were He
was sitting. He was actually looking at me and not Bella! He smiled
and motion with a finger for me to come to Him. I took a deep breath
and walked over to Him.
"Why don't you sit with me today,"
He said with a crooked smile. I didn't know what to say, so I just
sat down. It's not everyday the hottest guy in the school asks you
to sit with Him at lunch in front of everyone, and plus I never had a
guy ask me to or even get a ride home -well unless you count Mike and
Tyler. I don't.- So it's kind of a big deal. When I didn't say
anything, He asked something I wasn't expecting. "so are you
busy, Friday night?" I was shocked. Friday night was the "sweet
heart" dance. I didn't know what to say. I mean I don't dance.
Literally, I trip over my own feet when I walk in… well any were.
So has much as I didn't want to make an excuse, I did.
"Yes,"
I said slowly. "I'm going to Seattle to buy um…" What? Buy
what? I had to think fast. I am such an idiot! He was never going to
talk to me again not alone ask me out. It surprised me that he just
laughed.
"You didn't get enough of Seattle last Friday?" He
asked. Surprisingly I laughed too. Everyone was watching us, but I
didn't care, and usually I did. I hated attention. But when I was
around Him that didn't matter. I felt alive around Him. "Well?"
He finally asked.
"The truth? No I'm not busy. Why?" I knew
the reason but I just had to ask. But his answer took me off
guard.
"Well, truth is I wanted to maybe catch a movie or
something." He said. I looked into His golden honey eyes lost for
words.
"Yes, sure, I'd like that." I replied with a smile.
What He said next really made my heart fly.
"Great it's a
date, oh buy the way, I think we should get to class." I looked
around and to my surprise, the lunch room was almost empty. "Walk
you to class?" He asked with another smile. That I
returned.
Biology was finally a really fun class. We were finishing up photosynthesis and were going to watch a movie on it as a break. I sat back and watch "the movie". I folded my arms across each other. So did He. We smiled at each other. It was a boring movie, not that I paid attention to it. Who would? No one. I was to busy thinking of Friday night. But didn't He realized what the date was, on Friday?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Edward's Point Of View.
She was sitting there, daydreaming as was I. But I couldn't read her mind. It frustrated me. On the bright said, I have a Friday night to look forward to. But, just then she had a confused look on her face. Like if I knew what the date was on Friday. I knew, and I knew that she doesn't dance -I herd her talking to Eric Livingstone form her PE class-. She's the most wonderful thing that has happen to me since… but that's in the past and I know Elizabeth is my future.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Normal Point Of View.
Biology went by faster than I expected. I made
it in one piece through PE too. (No thanks to Bella). I got hit with
the ball. In the head. Twice. When I started to head out for my
truck, I ran into Bella.
"I know what your trying to do," she
said. "And it's not going to work."
"What are you talking
about?" I asked.
"Just stay away from Edward," and with that
she walked away. Ok, that was weird. She's not even dating Him. But
now what was I going to do? I was at my truck, when I saw Him leaning
against it.
"I heard what she said," He told me, with a said
look in His eyes, I might add. "I really hope you don't listen to
her." Great! What was I going to do now? I felt like Edward and I
were soul mates. But Bella was my friend -not a really nice friend-
but a friend. Is love stronger the friendship? Then I decided.
"I'm
not," I said.
"Good," he said with yet another smile. "Pick
you up at 4, Friday? Plus, what kind of Valentine date didn't
involve dinner?" He asked. So He did know. I just smiled and He
knew that was a yes.
I got home, made Chicken Alfrado for
Dinner and did my homework. Mom got home when I was taking dinner out
of the oven.
"Smells great Liz," she said and began helping
herself.
"Uh, mom," I said trying to tell her about
Seattle.
"Yes, what is it?" she asked. I decided just to get
it over with.
"Ok, mom, I don't know how to say this but I got
a date this Friday night, and I really, really want to go and Edward
is a perfect gentleman and I'll be home before…" she cut me
off.
"Your first date, that's wonderful!" she exclaimed.
"When will I meet him?" she asked. Meet Him? She already did. Oh
well.
"Uh, I don't know. Tomorrow?" I questioned that as I
wondered how my mother was going to get along with a vampire.
"Sounds good, hey invite him over around 6? I'll be home
about that time. And don't worry about dinner, I'll get pizza,"
she said. And with that I washed the dishes -mom watched the news-
and went upstairs.
"Nicely handle," a velvet voice came
from my bed and I jumped. That made Him laugh.
"Not funny,"
but I joined in the laughing too.
"So we got time after school
tomorrow until I meet your mother. So, why don't I introduce you to
my family?" He said. We looked at each other and I nodded.
"I'll
be right back," I said and went into the bathroom, took a shower
and got ready for bed -all under 3 minutes. Hey there was a hot
guy/vampire in my room! I put on my black pajama shorts with matching
tank top and combed out my hair.
As I walked into my room, He
was sitting in the same spot as I left him in.
"Wow." He said.
"You look, you look…"
"Thanks," I muttered with a smile,
and sat down by Him. Then without meaning to, yawned.
"Time for
bed -for the human that is" He said. I got into bed and saw Him
head toward the window.
"Please, stay?" I asked. He smiled,
sat on the bed next to me, wrapped His arms around me and hummed a
unfamiliar song to me. I was asleep in minutes.
I woke up
startled to find Edward on my bed, His arms still wrapped around me,
but He had changed His shirt. He left. Oh well. What would the
neighbors think?
"Good morning," He said when He saw me
finally awake.
"Morning," I replied. I stretched, and went
quickly change into my red sweater and a pair of jeans, and pulled up
my hair.
"Can I drive you to school today?" He asked.
"Only
if you want to," I replied. We got to school and the day was short.
It was the end of the day before I knew it. I got into His car and we
were driving on the road. Before I knew it, we were in front of a
white house. The house from my dreams.
"Ready?" He
asked.
"No," I decided to answer truthfully. "Lets go." He
met me by my door and helped me out. We then walk -hand in hand- up
to His house and He led me inside.
The inside was more
beautiful then the out. He started to call them though, how I don't
know.
"Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice. Any one
here?"
"Were here," said a voice that sound like it came
from a room to the right. We walk into a large room that looked like
the living room.
"I knew it!" A beautiful girl with pixie like
black hair jumped up.
"Oh so this is what you two were hiding,"
said a nice looking man I suppose was Dr. Cullen.
"Everyone,
this is Elizabeth Parker. She just moved here. Liz, this is
Carlisle," Edward said nodding to Dr. Cullen. "Esme," He nodded
to a woman who was sitting on the couch next to "and you know
Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett."
"Nice to meet you all, you
got a lovely home." I replied with a smile.
"Thank you,"
Esme said and she stood up and walked forward carefully.
"She
already knows," Alice said walking to my side.
"Oh really,
what did you do this time Edward?" The one called Emmett
said.
"Nothing she figured it out." Edward said. "Unlike
some people she didn't flirt to the the answers," more to
himself. As I looked around the room, my eyes stopped on a beautiful
grand piano, more extraordinary then mine.
"You play?" Esme
asked.
"Only a little." I said. "You?"
"Oh no. That
belongs to Edward," she said. Then I looked at Edward. His eyes
staring into mine and like he could read my eyes, He took me over to
the piano and begun to play.
After awhile He concluded the
song that sounded familiar.
"Well what did you think?" He
asked.
"It's beautiful, who wrote it?" I asked, wondering if
it is someone I know.
"I did," He muttered. "I'm glad you
like it, because you inspired it." I didn't know what to say. He
showed me the rest of the house and said bye to His family.
"It
was lovely to meet you dear," Esme said.
"Yes please feel free
to visit again," Carlisle said.
"Thank you." I replied. For
some reason I felt… home.
We got to my house at 5:55. Ok
relax, I told myself. Everything is going to go great. Apparently
Edward thought it was funny, seeing me freak out.
"It's just
your mom, relax," He told me. Then I looked at the clock on the
wall. 6:00. I heard a door slam, and took a deep breath. This is it.
My mom came in with a large pizza and put it on the table.
"Oh
hello, you must be Edmond," she said. This is going to be a long
night.
"Edward, mom," I said quickly.
"Right, Edward,"
she said. "Please sit down." Was she like this when Joseph was
alive and started dating? Let me think. Thinking… thinking… un
no. they talked though dinner. Actually it was like a game of 21
questions but there were a lot more. Try like 99 -yes, I counted
them. ALL,-but Edward didn't mind. With the long night over,
finally, I said "goodbye" to Edward and He "left" and good
night to my mom. I ran upstairs to my room to find Edward sitting on
my bed.
"Your mom asks a lot of questions," He said and open
His arms for me. I went to Him and He kissed me.
"Sorry," I
replied. I got up to take a quick shower. "One minute," I said to
Him. He just sighed but smiled. I took a quick shower, while brushing
my teeth -at the same time.-I dried off, got dressed and ran a comb
through my wet hair. I saw Him sitting there in the same spot when I
left.
"That was 3 minutes,' He said and I went to His open
arms. "So, what did you think I meeting your mom and you meeting my
family?" He asked after awhile.
"I love your family and your
house. Everyone's so nice and accepting. Its amazing." I said.
And it was the truth. There, I felt… home.
"And I meeting your
mom? He asked. I could feel His mouth go up into a smile, as we laid
there. I didn't answer. When I didn't, he squeezed me gently. He
was humming the same song he had been playing that day. Before I
could say a word or even think, I feel asleep -a dreamless sleep.
