I stood outside the hospital as the taxi drove away. I stared up at it, towering over me by many levels. And ambulance pulled out right next door by the garages and the alarms went off. Another person who was injured, or possibly already dead. I sighed, why was I so nervous? I was normally never nervous with girls, why this one? She knew I was coming, I had an at least hour long conversation with her on the phone. She didn't think I was crazy, so why was I so nervous? I shook my head and sighed again, walking up to the front doors as the sound of the ambulance faded into the distance of the city.
I walked up to the front desk of Bella's floor, and was about to ask if she knew where she was, when Bella came around the corner. She had on a pair of jeans with holes in the knees, with black leggings on underneath. It was very attractive. She had on a light blue and green stripped long sleeve shirt, and her hair was curled perfectly. Her eyes seemed bright with excitement, unlike the other patients' eyes. I couldn't help but smile. She smiled sheepishly as she walked over, a few feet in between us.
"Hey Bella," I said, smiling still. She looked down, blushing. "Hey, the cafeteria is down stairs," she said, biting her lip a little. I nodded, sticking my hands in my pockets. "Lead the way, beautiful," I slipped in, not thinking. She blushed more and smiled, looking up now, her eyes were shy. She wasn't the only one nervous, I was just better at hiding it. She walked past me, a small bust of her scent hitting me. She smelled just as beautiful as she looked. I smiled as I spun around on the back of my foot and followed her towards the elevator.
We entered the elevator alone, the cafeteria was a good three levels down. I couldn't help but stare at her, she was wary of keeping her eyes away from mine. "So, how are you?" I asked casually. She shrugged, running her hand through her hair, glancing at me for a brief second. "Oh just bored, this place gets pretty boring after the first year or so," she laughed lightly, I joined her, though it was harder than it thought it would be. We got to the first floor, where the cafeteria was and she led the way again. We were stuck on some small talk as we walked into the rather large cafeteria. I glanced down at her, walking towards the food line.
"So what's good and what's nasty?" I asked, glancing an uneasy look at some of the foods I couldn't even name. She laughed more wholeheartedly this time, amused by my looks of disgust. She pointed at the old women with the hamburgers, she was short, plump, and her entire face look like a rag with so many wrinkles, she was giggling as she leaned over and whispered. "Careful, you mess with her, she spits in your burger," Bella was highly amused of my facial expressions now. She turned and glanced at the man that was making salads, he looked up uneasily and winked at her, attempting to flirt across the room. She rolled her eyes. "That's James, he's madly in love with me," she fell into another fit of laughter as she walked over to one of the food stations, I followed aimlessly, shooting James a glare.
She picked up a spoon and dumped some sort of food onto her plate, not holding back. I stared wide eyed, "What the heck is that?" I asked, she smiled at me.
"Sorry, I'm like, obsessed with Hamburger Helper," she bit her lip, feeling awkward by it I guessed. I laughed a little, and she looked at me, sincere. "Hamburger Helper is awesome," I said, smiling at her. For once she was looking me in the eyes. She blushed and nodded, breaking the gaze for what seemed so short.
She grabbed two bread sticks and got herself a drink, I ended up with a hamburger from the anger old women, who didn't like me right away, a soda, and a small bag of chips. Overall, we both had large lunches. We were laughing, both of us, as we walked over to our seats.
"I wouldn't get another burger from her again, if I was you, she glares more at you then me!" Bella fell into her seat, laughing hysterically. I think the look on my face was the main reason. I shook my head and laughed. "Oh come on, she's spicy. Think she's single?" I joked, smiling at her as she broke out into more laughter. I quickly joined her, realizing how foolish I sounded. The other people gave us funny looks, but we were too oblivious to notice.
We ate slowly, and even when we were finished we continued to talk for what seemed like hours. We talked about pretty much everything, from favorite colors, to our families, to our old friends, to stupid little things like bugs and nature. She was so easy to talk to, I could easily see how James liked her. I knew exactly why I liked her. She thought she was so flawed, when I had never met someone so perfect.
She told me about her old best friend, Sophie, who had disconnected herself from Bella for reasons she wouldn't go into. Bella didn't talk much about Sophie, or her past, or family, so I guessed those were the touchy subjects I might not get to know about for a long time. I didn't mind, I had a few touchy subjects too, maybe not as bad, but, I understood. It just gave me an excuse to be around her more, and longer.
We finally had to leave the cafeteria because apparently they close for people who aren't patients around eleven, which shocked me. Three hours in the cafeteria, talking and talking. I smiled at the thought, maybe I stood a chance with her. Maybe.
We walked back towards her room, and I felt a little awkward. It was like a collage date or something, walking her back to her dorm. We laughed at a few of our jokes, but I could tell it was getting awkward.
We finally reached her door, room 314. I smiled, making a mental note of that. She leaned against the door, wiggling her nose, one hand on the doorknob.
"So, uh, you'll be back, soon, right?" she asked slowly, her eyes again avoiding mine. I smiled to myself, of course I will! "Yea sure, I mean, if you want me too," Oh and Bella, you're absalutly beautiful! "I mean, I had a lot of fun," I added instead. Don't want to seem like a stalker on the first date.
She nodded. "Me too, its been a long, long time, since I laughed that hard," her eyes suddenly met mine, "Like, years," she said in almost a whisper. After the words were out, I saw the sudden regret in her eyes. I smiled. "I'm glad, making pretty girls laugh is hard," I said, trying to lighten the mood, her eyes fell to the floor, and a small, fake smile, raised.
"So, you do that a lot, then," she breathed, her voice touchy. I shook my head, "Oh no, I just, really like you, that's all," I mentally slapped myself in the face profusely. Stupid, Stupid Edward!
She blushed. "I like you too," she said finally, her eyes raising to mine again. "I'll see you later then," she said, opening the door quickly and stepping in, closing it just as I said okay and goodbye.
I walked outside and glanced up the building, I could see her room far up. The light was on, and I could tell she had a lot of posters. I smiled, she really was amazing. I bit my lip, sudden excitement raising as the cab pulled up.
I would defiantly be back to see her, soon, very soon.
