My Bella
Edward's POV
My Bella. Those two words had a certain ring to them. That's what I was thinking as I watched Bella look around her new room with a mixture of pleasure, anxiety, fear and excitement. She really did seem to enjoy her new room. Well, except for the clothes. I'm still not sure what Alice was thinking. I couldn't picture Bella in half the clothes Alice got her. Not that Bella would look anything but fantastic in those daisy dukes or that little black miniskirt; I just couldn't picture her wearing them. Bella. No correction: My Bella was just too sweet and too classy to wear that stuff. I sighed. Maybe Alice is right and I'm just too old fashioned.
I followed Bella into the washroom and leaned against the door frame. My throat was burning like all Hell, and I could barely stand to be near her, yet I didn't dare leave her. She was beautiful and she didn't even know it. You could tell in her demeanor that she was comfortable enough with herself, but she was clueless on how pretty she really was.
She turned around and looked at me. I was standing in the way. I didn't move. I just studied her face and her eyes. Her heart was racing and I wished I could read her thoughts. She walked towards me. I stopped breathing, so I wouldn't get such a strong whiff of her scent. "Excuse me." She said it shyly, almost as if she was afraid of me. I moved over a little so she could squeeze by me. She seemed a little irritated that I hadn't moved over more, but I wanted her closer to me. She slid by me, her arm brushing against my chest and abdomen and I gently grabbed her arm. She gasped and looked up at me with her big brown eyes. I smirked at her and stared into her eyes. I loved the reactions I got from her. The rapid heart beat, the quick intake of breath, her eyes darting from my lips to my eyes, it all intrigued me. What was it about this human girl that made me want her so?
"So, do you like your room?" I asked just for an excuse to keep holding her close to me.
She nodded her head, and simply said, "It's lovely."
I couldn't resist. "Just like you my sweet Bella."
