Chapter 2
E.P.O.V
'Edward, maybe you should tell her, where it's more…comfortable…for her.' Carlisle thought giving Bella a warm smile while he "talked" to me. I nodded my head and stood up. "Bella, come with me." I sighed out, watching as she gave me a questionable look with her big brown eyes.
"O-Okay." she stuttered giving everyone her genuine smile, she waved goodbye to my family and stood up to follow me out the door. "Goodbye Bella." Esme said returning her smile. 'Make sure to tell her gently Edward.' she thought, I nodded my head. "Bye." Bella waved and followed me out the front door.
"What was all that about?" she asked me, when she thought we were out of hearing distance…little did she know. "I'll tell you after, right now lets go eat." I said flashing my pearly white crooked smile at her, the one I knew she couldn't resist. " Okay." she said smiling back at me.
'I wonder how she'll react if we're in a giant restaurant when I tell her…hmm.' I thought pondering it for a minute as I opened the garage to get my silver Volvo. Emmet had claimed he broke the engine on it right before we were about to leave for school, and since the bus was basically here when we got outside we took it, not knowing that Emmet was trying to contain his laughter until we were already inside the school. My Volvo was fine.
I opened the door on the drivers side of the silver car and got in, Bella right behind me on the passenger side. "So where are we going?" she asked me once we had driven out of Forks, which wasn't that hard since my family lived on the outskirts of town. It was so frustrating not being able to read her thoughts, even after knowing her for all this time.
"Port Angeles." I said simply hearing her gasped beside me. I glanced over at her to see her looking at the speedometer. "Edward! Slow down!" Bella yelled in my ear looking at how fast I was going, 75 mph, I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Relax Bella." I said. "Relax?! Edward you're going 40 miles above the speed limit! Slow down!" She yelled again, making sure her seat belt was clipped, I laughed but slowed down, knowing if we did get into a car crash, which was not likely, I could walk off just fine, but she couldn't.
"I hate going slow." I mumbled under my breathe, 55, are you kidding me, I wasn't going that fast to begin with!! She sighed in relief. "This is slow for you?" Bella said, only making me laugh, as her eyes narrowed into slits. "Do you want to call Charlie and tell him you'll be home late?" I asked reaching into my pocket to pull out my phone. She gasped. "Oh right!" she gulped, almost forgetting to tell him. "Thanks." she mumbled as I handed her my phone.
When we got there it was around 7:15. "Hungry?" I asked her, giving her a crooked grin. "Starved, you?" Bella asked smiling at me. "Nothing I can't handle." I said smirking at her questionable expression she had on her face. One of her eyebrows was arched, her bottom lip was out a little.
"I'll tell you everything after dinner, I promise Bella." I said taking one of her hands into mine I bent down half way bringing her hand to my mouth, and placed my cold lips to it, gasping at the smell. She smelt wonderful, like a lavender flower right when it had first bloomed, I once again fought the urge to drink her blood. She nodded and retrieved her hand, as we parked.
B.P.O.V
'La Bella Italia?' I thought as I stepped out of his shiny silver Volvo. I heard his door close behind me, I turned around to look at him, but he wasn't there. "Edward?" I asked into the night. 'Where'd he go?' I thought spinning around only to knock into his rock hard chest.
"Boo." He said smiling down at me, probably at the shock in my eyes. He once again dazzled me. "Hi." I said regaining my composure after a minute, I noticed he had already dragged me into the soft marble covered restaurant.
"Ah, for two?" The man behind the counter asked, Edward nodded putting his arm around my waist lightly, making me blush. His eyes danced to mine, almost magically, making me get lost in his stare. The waiter nodded. "Follow me please." he said turning his back to us, we followed him to a table. "Your waiter should be out shortly." He said giving us a smile, he handed the menu's to us and walked away.
My eyes roamed around the room, there was hardly anyone in here, besides Edward and I, there was one couple in the back corner , a man and women, probably dating, next to them sat a giant plant, giving them some privacy from the family near them. The parents looked slightly out of it with two kids, both boys about five or six, I couldn't blame them.
"Bella?" Edward asked, making my eyes focus back onto him. I blushed, the waitress was waiting for my order…or rather she was staring at Edward almost mesmerized. "Um… I'll have a coke." I mumbled not sure if she heard me, it seems like she didn't.
"Two cokes." Edward said, well she heard him at least. "I'll be right back." she said winking at Edward, he didn't notice, he was just staring at me. "What?" I asked getting self-conscious of myself. "Nothing…it's just that…" He let his sentence fade out. "What is it? You can tell me." I said giving him a reassuring smile, it didn't work. He frowned and then sighed.
"I'm just afraid how you'll react to my-our secret." He finally said after a few minutes of silence, his words made me confused. Was it really that bad of a secret? "What is it?" I asked just as the waitress, Amber I think her name was, came back with the cokes, I glared at her. "Ready to order?" she said giving Edward a smile, which in my opinion had unnecessary warmth to it.
"I think so." Edward replied all the tension in his voice gone…for the moment, he was still looking at me. "Bella?" Edward asked, bringing Amber's attention, unwillingly to me. "Um… I'll have the mushroom ravioli." I said picking the first thing I saw on the menu.
She turned back to Edward with a smile. "And for you?" She said her smile widening, he didn't notice. I tried not to grimace at the attention she was giving him by looking at the plants that surrounded the top of all the walls. I noticed some plants had vines cascading down to the floor. I looked back when he talked.
"Nothing for me." he said, still looking at me glancing up at the waitress when he talked. "Let me know if you change your mind." she said warmly, walking away. I sipped on my coke a little, feeling uncomfortable under Edward's gaze. "Edward?" I asked finally remembering how to talk, I looked at him straight in the eyes. "Yes?" He said his eyes danced over my face, as if to read my expression. "Is your secret really that bad?" I asked, my eyes darting back to the napkin in my lap. He sighed.
"Yes…it is." He whispered the last part, taking one of my hands in both of his, I hadn't even noticed they were on the table until he had grabbed them. "Bella…my…our secret is very important…you can't tell anyone, not even Charlie, about it, do you understand?" his eyes were piercing into mine as he said that. All I did was nod.
"Y-Yes." I choked out, trying to remember how to breathe as he let go of my hand. He looked angry, then I looked up and realized why. Amber, put my plate down. "Are you sure you don't want anything?" she said a little to sweet, again, he didn't notice.
I was so caught up in my thoughts that I hardly notice she had put my plate of food in front of me, Edward's stare was back on me. "Bella? … are you going to eat? Or did you just come here to humor me?" He said, I looked at him, a huge grin played on his face, I couldn't help but smile back and blush. I picked up my fork and knife and started to eat.
"Hey Edward?" I said after a few minutes of silence, well if you counted the two boys in the background fighting and throwing food at each other silent. "Yes Bella?" He said giving me a crooked smile, which almost made me melt at the sight of it. "Why didn't you order anything?" I asked looking at him, he sighed in relief, probably thinking I would ask him about his secret again. He shrugged.
"Just not hungry." He said his smile fading a little. "Like usual." I mumbled under my breathe but somehow he heard me, I noticed because the corners of his lips pulled up in amusement, I had to smile at that.
When we walked out of La Bella Italia, his face was wary., I guessed why. We walked to his silver Volvo without a word, the silence grew in the car on the way back until he broke it. "Bella?" Edward whispered, after about a 15 minute silence, there was nobody on the road, it was dark around us. "Hmm?" I said, trying to make out his face.
"Did you have a good time tonight?" He said, it sounded like he was holding his breathe. "Of course I did." I said, that wasn't the question I was expecting. "Good." he mumbled, I could tell by his voice what question was coming next. As if to conform my thoughts he spoke the eight words out loud.
"Do you want to know my secret Bella?" he whispered slowing the car down, that was a first. "Yes." I breathed out, trying to remember once again how to speak. He sighed. "Where should I start?" he whispered, mostly to himself, but I answered anyways. "How about the beginning?" I said finding my voice.
E.P.O.V
I sighed again, I've been seeming to do that a lot lately. "Well first of all I'm not who you think I am." I said just above a whisper so she could hear me, I let the speed of the car drop again. "W-What do you mean?" she asked, stiffening in her seat a little. "Shh, this will be a lot easier if you let me explain Bella." I said, trying to make my tone sound soft, so I wouldn't scare her. I looked at her to see her nod her head.
"O-Okay." she breathed not knowing I could see her perfectly through the night, she looked beautiful. "Okay…where to start?" I looked at her, seeing the muscles in her relax a bit, I breathed out a short sigh. "What I mean by that is…Bella, I'm not actually…human." I finally said watching as her muscles tensed up again. I stopped the car. "W-What?" she said noticing we weren't moving, she backed away from me a little.
"I use to be…about 107 years ago." I said watching her with cautious eyes. I saw her mouth drop as she gasped, and her eyes go wide. "How?" She breathed out, almost choking the word. "Bella…I…I don't know how to tell you this…" I admitted choking on words myself. "Try." She whispered, closing her mouth, her eyes were still wide.
"Promise me something…" I said trying to sound calm. "W-What?" she asked, backing away a little more. I sighed. "Promise me you won't scream and run away from me when I tell you this… I won't hurt you Bella." I breathed, whispering the last part so she had to strain to hear it.
Her eyes went even wider. "I-I promise." she said shaking a little from either the cold or just the fact she was scared, I figured it was the second reason but I shrugged out of my jacket anyways and handed it to her. She flinched away at first, but then put it on after she realized what it was. I talked after she had zipped it up with quivering hands.
"Bella I won't hurt you, I swear it." I breathed moving closer to her in my seat, making her back up to the door of the car. I grabbed her hands holding them with my own, they were shaking. "Bella…" I whispered.
"Just tell me what you mean Edward!" She yelled, beginning to cry, the tension was to much for her I guess, where was Jasper when you needed him? She retrieved her hands and put them up to her face, sobbing. I sighed but decided it was time. "Bella… I'm a…vampire." I breathed in, smelling fear coming out of her, I frowned.
