BellaPOV:
I looked at my watch. Jesse would be here for dinner in less than thirty minutes. I was freaking out! The turkey had burnt already, and Charlie had forgotten to do the dishes, so there weren't any clean plates or silverware.
I decided to cook pasta since I knew I could make that fairly quickly. I was just about to pour some noodles into the boiling water, when the doorbell rang. "Come in!" I called, thinking that Jesse was really early. The person who walked through the door wasn't Jesse though.
"Hi." Edward Cullen said. I stood there for a second with my mouth hanging open before I realized that I was supposed to say something back. "Hey! I wasn't expecting you. How's it goin'?" I asked with a fake cheerfulness. "Oh, nothing I just wanted to talk to you." He replied. I blushed. "Okay. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but could you hurry? I'm kind of in a rush." Edward frowned. "Do you have plans with… with…" he snapped his fingers as he tried to remember the name. "Jesse." I told him flatly. "Oh yeah. Him." "As a matter of fact I do. Not that it's any of your business." I was starting to get annoyed.
Edward looked disappointed, but only for a moment. "Well. Maybe some other time then." He said turning to leave. Something deep down inside me wanted to say, "Edward! Wait! Don't leave. I'm sorry." But I couldn't bring myself to it. And with that, Edward walked out the door.
Jesse arrived shortly after. It was obvious that he could tell something was on my mind besides the romantic evening we were supposed to be having. I couldn't help it! Edward kept appearing in my mind! God he was so hot! No. I scolded myself. I don't even know him. But I felt like I had known him my whole life. I found that I was constantly wondering when he would come back, and what he wanted to talk to me about.
I was deep in thought when I felt a tapping on my arm. "I'm sorry you aren't having a good time. It's clear you want to be alone, so I'll see you later." Jesse said giving me a quick kiss. When I didn't reply, he simply left. Great! Just great! I sat and watched as two guys walked away; both of them unhappy. I sighed. It seemed like I couldn't please anyone these days. Not even myself. I grabbed a tub of Ben and Jerry's double chocolate chip ice cream, and headed for the tub. I needed some Bella time.
EdwardPOV:
I had been thinking about it all day, and I finally decided to pay Bella a visit and try to remind her who I am. I went to the office after school an asked the secretary where Bella lives. I think the secretary might have had a crush on me. She said, "Of course! Anything for you! You're such a wonderful student!" I simply smiled, took the slip of paper with the address on, and got out of there as fast as I could.
I arrived at her house a little before six. "Come in!" I heard her call after I knocked on the door. I opened the mahogany door and stepped inside the front hall. Bella was leaning over the stove, cooking something that smelled delicious; unfortunately I couldn't have any, being a vampire and all. I smiled. Bella had always loved to cook. I remembered how she used to always be baking something in her Easy Bake Oven.
Bella turned around and her jaw dropped. "Hi." I said. She didn't seem to notice though. She stood staring at me, until she realized that she was being rude. "Hey! I wasn't expecting you. How's it goin'?" she asked hurriedly. "Oh, nothing I just wanted to talk to you." I replied. She blushed a shade of crimson. "Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but could you hurry? I'm kind of in a rush." She said. I frowned. "Do you have plans with… with…" I snapped my fingers as I tried to remember the name. "Jesse." She told me flatly. "Oh yeah. Him." "As a matter of fact I do. Not that it's any of your business." I could tell that she was starting to get POed.
"Well. Maybe some other time then." I said turning to leave. When she didn't reply, I walked out the front door.
I was starting to get frustrated. I clenched my hands into fists and stalked into the woods. How could she not remember me!? We were best friends! How could she rush me out so that she could be with that Jesse? I started running. One thing I could be sure of though was that I would be seeing Bella Swan again soon.
BellaPOV:
I sat waiting by the phone all day. I just knew that Edward would call at some point. I even canceled my plans to go on a picnic with Jesse. I told him that I wasn't feeling well. He was very sweet about it too. He told me to feel better, and he even stopped by at lunch to make me some soup. God I hated myself for lying to him! But I had to be here when Edward came.
The phone rang around three o' clock. "Hello?" I said excitedly. "Hey! This is Edward. What's up?" he asked. "Oh. Nothing." I felt myself blush. "Cool. So, are you doing anything today?" "No. Do you still have something you want to talk to me about?" "Umm… Yeah. But I'd rather talk to you face to face." I felt so stupid! "Oh! Of course! Come on over!" "Alright." He said chuckling. "I'll be there in a bit." "'K. I'll see you then." I said and hung up the phone. I couldn't help it. I think I might be falling for Edward Cullen.
EdwardPOV:
I picked up the phone, dialed the first few digits, then slammed it back down in the cradle. I had decided to call Bella this time instead of stopping by short-notice.
Finally I called her. She picked up after the first ring. "Hello?" she said enthusiastically. "Hey! This is Edward. What's up?" I asked. "Oh. Nothing." "Cool." I said. "So, are you doing anything today?" "No. Do you still have something you want to talk to me about?" "Umm… Yeah. But I'd rather talk to you face to face." I told her, trying to imagine how I could tell her. "Oh! Of course! Come on over!" "Alright." I said chuckling. "I'll be there in a bit." "'K. I'll see you then." I hung up the phone and laughed. I couldn't help it. I think I might be falling for Bella Swan.
