Chapter 2
OMG, thanks heaps to everyone who reviewed this, I got such a great response, thank you, thank you.
This chapter is dedicated to Alexa, for helping me pretend that I'd actually done my work in class when I was really replying to your lovely reviews, and also for being awesome :D
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight (weeps) or Edward (sobs)
WHAT? Why would he ask that? At that, a million more questions rushed through my mind ,
Did he like me?
Did I want him to like me?
Do I like him?
When I say no, what will he say?
Luckily for me it took only a nanosecond for this to happen, although I was able to answer none of the questions I had just asked myself, I decided to play it safe until I figured everything out,
"Nah" I answered, "I'm single, but what's with the sudden change of topic, one minute we're discussing philosophy and the next you've moved on to personal lives." I had meant for my tone to be joking, but he seemed to take it as rude,
"No reason, I just wondered if that's why you watched them so much." He said defensively.
"Fair enough" I said with a light smile. When Edward realized that I was going to let it go he smiled again, lighting up his angel's face with a radiance that almost made him glow, he had never looked so beautiful. I blushed a deep red, as embarrassing as it was, that single thought had just confirmed that I definitely felt something for this stranger. Edward bit his lip, clearly trying to think of something that could steer the conversation in a more casual direction. I decided to save him the trouble and thought of my own question,
"So, Edward, what's the rest of your heaven like?"
"I live in a 19 century mansion, and it's always a bit rainy and everything's green. I have a big forest and a little meadow for when I really want to think. Oh and I also have a huge piano, and a gigantic collection of books. What about you?" I smiled at how different our Heavens were and answered,
"I live in a little cottage, the weathers always bright and sunny and I have a huge library." Edward laughed,
"Wow, except for the library part our heavens seem like they're total opposites." I grinned, he was right after all, I guess opposites attract- well for me anyway, how Edward felt about me was still a mystery- and Edward continued, "I must say I'm surprised about your choice of heaven."
"Oh?" I questioned him, raising one eyebrow. It really wasn't polite to question a person's choice of heaven.
"I just mean that most people your age, from your time all seem to have the same type of heaven."
"And what type of heaven would that be Mr. Mason?"
"Well Ms. Swan" he teased back, "Most girls from your time have huge houses and malls, and they all go clubbing"
"Well I'm not into material possessions or fashion, and I like to avoid all social situations that involve attention, I happen to be extremely clumsy." I explained.
"You do know that you're in Heaven right, you could just wish not to be clumsy and you wouldn't be." I rolled my eyes, of course I knew that, and I had toyed with that very idea on numerous occasions,
"Yes I know, but if I got rid of my clumsiness I would be getting rid of one of the things that make me, me…besides even if I wasn't clumsy I still don't like loud music and clubbing." Now it was Edward's turn to raise an eyebrow,
"You don't seem like most people your age?" He made it a question, so I answered him,
"My mom always says-always said- I was born thirty-five years old and that I get-got- more middle-aged every year" I gave a forced laugh and added, "of course now I don't have to worry about getting older at all."
Edward smiled sadly, there wasn't any real reply for my statement, most people our age always resent that their lives were taken away so prematurely, although there were certainly those who had no qualms what so ever with the whole 'eternally young' thing. Edward sighed,
"I know how you feel, I've been stuck at seventeen for ninety years, its gotten old."
"It might have, but you haven't" I joked trying to lighten the mood. Edward just groaned,
"Bella, that is possibly the worst joke I've ever heard." I smiled, still on my mission,
"If that's the worst joke you've ever heard then you've clearly never heard this one: Knock Knock"
"Who's there?" he sighed, resigned.
"Interrupting cow."
"Interrupting cow w…"
"…Mooo" I interrupted him. Edward laughed sarcastically,
"You're right Bella, that, right there, was the worst joke ever."
"Well you would know, you've had over one hundred years to find it."
"Shoot me now." He groaned.
"Gladly." I said, smiling as I wished for a gun. A small revolver instantly appeared in my hand, and I aimed square at his forehead and shot him.
Sorry its so short, I just thought this would be a fun place to end it. I wouldn't call it much of a cliffie, after all they're both already dead. All Bella's actions will be explained in the next chapter Please REVIEW, I'll update soon
