We were dancing. We… Edward and I. I knew his name, we were dancing together. I was holding onto his cool body and he was squeezing my waist tight, with a firm grip.
I hadn't seen Alice in a while and I was kind of hoping I wouldn't see her at all tonight. I didn't want her to disturb this magical moment. She would never understand me, how much I already loved this boy. And it had only been 3 hours. The best 3 hours of my life.
We hadn't spoken much, Edward and I, but the silence wasn't an awkward silence it was a romantic silence.
Suddenly my phone started ringing. I had forgotten that I had brought my cell phone. I looked ot see who was calling. Someone was phoning me from my home phone. It could only be one of my parents. And at 3:00 in the morning it could only mean…
"I've got to go!" I said to Edward as I squirmed out of his hands wound around my waist. I didn't want to leave his grip but I couldn't stay here any longer. "I'm so sorry"
"Wait" he cried across the room "Before you leave please give me your number. I need to see you again." I rummaged in my pocket. I was sure I had a pen somewhere. There!! I had it. I quickly scrawled the number on to his palm and then ran for the door.
But before I could exit the door I realized that I didn't have any way to get home. I needed to get Jasper or Alice I needed them. I looked back at the crowded room. I would never find Alice or Jasper crowd of people. Besides, even when I found her she wouldn't want to leave the club.
That's when I saw Edward. He was sitting on a stool by the bar a cup pressed to his lips. He was staring at me. That's when I realized that Edward could help me. He was my only chance.
Since I was a little girl my parents always told me never to get into a car with strangers, but this had been different. Edward wasn't a stranger. I already knew him even though I had only met him a few hours ago. I had started to walk towards him my eyes locked onto his face. He was staring back at me. This would have been awkward with any other person but Edward was different, Edward was special. Finally, when I got close enough for him to hear me I asked him.
"Edward could you do me a favor." I kept his eyes on him and his on mine.
"Sure, anything you'd like." His velvety voice took me by surprise and I felt as though I were going to be knocked off my feet.
"Could you maybe drive me home?" Without a word he got up from his stool placing his cup down on the counter.
He turned so his back was facing me.
"Follow me" he said
He pushed through the crowd with ease, making it seem as though no one were there. I had to run to catch up with his big strides. Before we got to the exit I looked to my side and there stood Alice her lips against Jasper's. She was smiling even though her lips were pressed hard against Jasper's and I knew that it was probably a good idea I hadn't tried to find her. I glanced out the door and Edward was waiting for me on the sidewalk with a big smile on his face. I ran out of the club and to the edge of the sidewalk where Edward was.
"Hop in." he spoke in a calm voice as he pointed to a red shiny convertible. I took a seat in the front right beside the driver's seat. My legs were shaking.
He could tell I was scared, I knew it. My face blushed a deep red. He hopped into the driver's seat and started the engine. As soon as we were on the road I felt sick.
"Where do you live" he asked me
At first I had no idea what he was talking about until I realized why I was in the car. I told him where I lived and he seemed to know where that was. I looked at the clock displayed in the car. It was 3:30 am I knew that I should never have been out this late but it was too late now. I was sure my parents had already found out I was gone.
I suddenly realized how fast we were going all of a sudden. We were rushing through the light traffic and I felt that at any moment we would find ourselves in a hospital bed. Finally, after what seemed like hours but which had probably only been a few minutes, I was at my house.
"Well, I guess I should be gone now. Thanks so much for driving me home"
"Wait!" he said before I could exit the car. I turned towards him and before I knew it his lips were on my cheek. He was kissing me. His lips were smooth and cool against my skin but I couldn't believe what was actually happening. My heart was pounding out of my chest I was going to burst. His lips came off my cheek and my heart started to slow down but I wanted more.
"Bye. Bella" he said in a whisper "Have a good sleep!"
