Bella's POV
I looked down hiding away from his glaring face. Neither of us said anything. After a moment I looked up afraid of what I would see.
I was surprised to see he didn't look angry anymore he was looking at me, but not at my face just at my body. Shocked I looked down embarrassed to see I was just wearing a small tank top and just my underwear which is what I usually slept in. Blushing I crossed my arms trying to hide as much of myself as I could.
"Are you ok?" I asked hoping to distract him and also curious of the yelling I heard. He looked up again with a bit of the pissed off look on his face again.
"Why?" he asked shortly but his voice was still velvety and the most beautiful sound I had ever heard
"Um...I…I heard yelling I thought something was wrong" I stammered nervously
He raked his fingers through his hair and a look passed by his eyes that I didn't understand. Vulnerability?
"I'm fine" He said angrily."It's none of your business"
Oh my God maybe Rose was right that he was a jerk.
"Well I'm sorry but I heard yelling and you could have been getting murdered and I think that would have been my business" I knew I wasn't making sense but he was making me angry. I started to turn around embarrassed and angry.
"I'm sorry" I heard him whisper
I turned around surprised
He was looking at the floor and I saw an ancient sadness in eyes that didn't belong on his angel face.
"I just had a… nightmare…and I guess I was embarrassed…sorry If I was rude" He said not looking up.
"It's ok" I whispered back
He nodded, turned around, walked back into his room and closed the door.
Stunned I walked slowly back to Alice's room. I couldn't fall back to sleep I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened.
Edward's POV
I must have been glaring at Bella because she looked down and I could see she was blushing. I felt bad I wasn't angry at her I was furious at myself for leaving the door open. I looked at her and noticed what she was wearing. My breathing hitched she was only wearing a pair of underwear and a tiny tank top. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her long shapely legs and her perfect flat stomach that was peeking out from where her tank top rid up. I looked up higher and saw that she wasn't wearing a bra under her top. I felt my pants tighten. I had never noticed a girl like this before.
She suddenly crossed her arms across her chest. Oh fuck she had seen me looking. I looked up quickly hoping she didn't think I was a perve.
"Are you ok?" she asked me.
So she had heard something my anger returned. How could I have been so reckless?
"Why" I asked hoping she didn't notice my angry tone
"Um...I…I heard yelling I thought something was wrong" she stuttered was she nervous?
I nervously pushed back my hair wondering what I should say.
"I'm fine" I replied angrily."It's none of your business" I knew I was being an asshole but I couldn't tell her what had happened.
"Well I'm sorry but I heard yelling and someone could have been getting murdered and I think that would have been my business" I almost chuckled what could have she done if I was being murdered?
She turned around and began to walk away. Had I upset her?
"I'm sorry" I whispered surprising myself.
She turned around with a shocked look on her face. She must be surprised to see me not being rude.
I looked at the floor. I decided to tell her some of the truth.
"I just had a… nightmare…and I guess I was embarrassed…sorry If I was rude" I said unable to look at her.
"It's ok" she whispered back.
I nodded and walked back into my room I couldn't handle that anymore I made sure to close the door behind me.
There was no way I was getting back to sleep tonight. I was still shocked by the intensity of my feelings for Bella I had no idea what to do. When I did finally fall asleep for the first time I didn't have my nightmares I dreamed only of Bella
Bella's POV
I didn't fall asleep for many hours after talking to Edward. When I had finally fallen asleep it didn't feel like long until I was being shaken awake by Alice. She insisted we go shopping as my clothes according to her were 'unacceptable' and 'all wrong'. Still sleepy and after that slightly offended I told her to go away. But just like a little kid she jumped up and down on the bed until I eventually got up.
A part of me wanted to see Edward but another part was scared about what would happen. Although, it turned out, not to be a problem because there was no sign of him. He was probably lucky enough to be still sleeping.
"Bella, what about this dress?" I looked up snapping out of my Edward daydream and looked at the dress Alice was holding out. It was a blue and strapless and would come to just above my knees.
"Yeah it's pretty but I don't know where I would wear it" I answered
She waved her hands in annoyance. "You'll have plenty of places to wear it. Oh Mike Newtons having a part in a couple of weeks you could wear it then" she said getting excited
She grabbed my arm a pulled me towards the changing rooms. "Come on! try it on I know it'll be perfect"
I sighed it was no use arguing with her.
She was right though it did look pretty good. I ended up buying it, some shoes to go with it and a couple of tops. Alice could tell I was distracted and she kept asking what was wrong. I briefly considered telling her about Edward and my conversation last night but I decided not to. It was just something between Edward and me.
Edwards POV
The next morning I slept in. something I don't remember ever doing. It was the most peaceful sleep I ever remember having since I was a little kid…before everything happened. When I got out of bed I realised no one was home. For which I was thankful especially that Bella wasn't still there because I had no idea what to say to her. I knew I had feelings for her but I also knew I had to keep them to myself and not let anything happen especially for her sake.
Bella's POV
When I woke up on Monday I felt excited. Excited about seeing Edward because there was something about him that, even though he had been rude to me more times then he had been nice, I had to know what that thing was that drew me to him and produced these intense feelings that I never knew existed.
I didn't see him all morning. I wondered if he hadn't shown up again. I was so distracted looking around trying to catch a glimpse of him that Alice began to get annoyed at me.
"BELLA" she yelled furiously. I jumped at her tone and looked towards her. We were in the cafeteria eating lunch and both Alice and Rose where looking at me.
"What?" confused by her angry expression
"I've been trying to talk to you for the last five minutes and I would appreciate if you would answer me" she said slamming her palm on the table.
"I'm sorry; I just have a lot on my mind…you know catching up with school and all that. I'm just a little distracted" I lied quickly
Her face softened a little bit "Ok well now listen" she started to tell me more about Mike Newtons party but then I wasn't listening again. Edward had just walked through the door and he looked as perfect as always. Was it just my imagination or did his eyes flick to me when he walked in? I wasn't sure it had happened so quickly.
"Bella" Both Alice and Rose yelled this time
Edward's POV
I had managed to avoid Bella all day. Although I knew I would see her in the cafeteria I was determined not to so much as glance at her. But I couldn't help it and by traitor eyes flickered towards her. And she was staring straight back at me. Did that mean she felt the same way? No she was probably looking at something else. I was being stupid she couldn't possibly like me after how rude I had been to her.
After I had got my lunch I sat down at my usual table with Mike Newton and his friends. I nodded hello as I sat down and I tried to not listen to their mindless chatter about Mike's party that was coming up soon.
I walked into my history class which was straight after lunch. I was shocked to see that Bella was in this class she was sitting near the front and hadn't seen me yet. I slipped into the desk that was furthest at the back and tried to look at her.
Mr Allen walked into the room and said we would be getting an assignment. The entire class groaned. He ignored them and started to tell us about the task. I drew on my notebook not really paying attention until he said we would be working in pairs. This was quite common in this class and because there were an odd number of students I usually was able to work by myself. Well there were an odd number of students until…
"Mr Cullen" Mr Allen said suddenly "Can you please work with Ms Swan?"
Bella turned around and looked at me uncertainly
I gulped. Oh crap.
