Chapter Eleven
We went to the theatres and they were having one of the few, 'Old Movie Nights.' Which means that we got to watch the black and white version of 'Dracula.' We laughed at all the fake things about vampires and how the effects were really bad compared to the movies made now.
Overall, the movie was great. I had a blast with Edward. He was really just like a normal guy. Well, I disagree with my own notion; he is nothing like a normal guy! He's better! You would be lucky to go on a date with a guy like him. He's polite, caring and funny. Besides his cold skin – which I hardly notice – and his different color eyes – which I love – he is just like a human.
All the way back to my house he explained everything about his family and vice versa. Apparently Emmett is the family clown. He loves to tease people and goof around but, he could be a softy when it comes to family. Jasper is a very calm and is the newest member of the Cullen family so he still has a little trouble with self-control while around humans. But, he is getting better and can now actually be in touching distance. It is a good thing our blood isn't that appealing to vampires or I would feel bad for Alice and Jasper. Esme is the mother figure of the family. She adopted Edward, Jasper and Emmett as her sons after losing her own child while she was still human and being changed. So she treats them like sons rather then brothers. Carlisle is Esme's mate and the father figure of the family. He works as a doctor at the hospital. I asked how does he do it with the blood and apparently he has been working on his control for centuries – as in plural! – And no longer has the thirst for human blood. He is also the first to come up with the vegetarian lifestyle. I admired his strength for that. It must have been hard, to be alone and still try to not kill humans. It must have taken a lot of strength. In addition, if he didn't come up with this lifestyle, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to Edward.
Apart from Carlisle, Edward is the oldest of the family. I was shocked. I was on a date with an old guy. You think I would have been repulsed. I actually found it, intriguing. That just added to his character even more. He was around during the wars and even experienced all, if not, most of the nineteen hundreds!
I told him about my mother, Alice and Rosalie. He was interested when I told him about our family and how we all became royalty. It was different. It was a part of my family tree, but my family was chosen out of respect for one of the founders of the island and my great, great grandmother, Eliza Swan. She lead everyone a long time ago and it just kept on down the line and I am next in line for the thrown. I didn't tell him that part though. I didn't want him to know that I would have to leave soon because I have to become queen.
Edward soon drove up my driveway and I didn't want the night to end but, I guess it had to at one point. Edward walked over to my side, opened my door for me and walked me to the front door.
"Thanks for tonight. I had a lot of fun." I smiled.
"It was no problem. I had a great time too." He replied. Then there was the awkward silence that I did not like. What are we supposed to do? Shake, hug, kiss just say 'bye'? This was so confusing.
"Well, I guess I will see you later?" I asked.
"Yes." He said, gave me a hug and said, "I love you."
"I love you too." I replied, he let go of me and walked to his car.
I walked inside and my sisters and mother immediately jumped out of the living room over to me.
"What happened?" Alice asked.
"Was it fun?" Mom asked.
"What did you do?" Rose asked.
"We talked, went to dinner and a movie and yes I had fun." I replied.
"Dinner? But vampires don't eat." Mom said.
"Well, I had dinner while we talked." I laughed.
"What did you guys talk about?" Alice asked.
"Oh nothing really. Just about our interests, you know the usual." I said.
"Oh really? Then why did it look like you said, 'I love you too' when you hugged him?" Rose asked.
"You peeked?!" I asked.
"Well, we were waiting for you to come home so we could tell you Rose and I got dates with Emmett and Jasper so we were watching for you. So, you really told him you love him?" Alice asked.
"Yes." I said looking at the floor.
"Oh em gee!" Alice said bouncing up and down. Mom just smiled a huge smile and Rose was laughing at Alice.
"Well, I'm tired, I'm going to bed." I said and walked up the stairs.
"Sweet dreams, honey." Mom called as I walked up the stairs.
"oh, I probably will." I mumbled to myself.
I walk down the hall and into my room. As soon as I walked in I smelled Edward. I looked over to the window and there he was.
"Edward? What are you still doing here?" I asked.
"I forgot something." He said walking over to me.
"Wha-" I was cut off by his lips on mine. The kiss started out slow and sweet but grew passionate. It ended before I wanted it to.
"Bella, will you please be my girlfriend?" Edward asked.
"Of course I will." I smiled and he kissed me again.
"I should probably go." He said.
"You can stay if you want. I'm only going to be sleeping anyway…what could happen?" I smiled.
"If that's okay with you…?" He asked.
"It's perfectly okay with me." I told him, kissed him once more, walked over to my dresser and grabbing my pajamas. "I will be right back."
I walked into the bathroom, shut the door and got changed. I brushed my teeth and brushed through my hair quickly before opening the door and walking back out to the room.
Edward sat in the desk chair that was on the other side of the room from my bed. I sat down on the bed and said, "You can come over you know, I don't bite. Although, you should watch out for that while a sleep." I said jokingly.
He chuckled before walking over to the bed and lying down beside me. I turned so that I was hugging into his side. His arms encircled me and held me. My hand lay where his heart is.
I lifted my head up so that I was looking at him directly in the face and said, "What are you going to do while I sleep, it must get boring after a while." I asked.
"Well, I am just going to watch you sleep. It is interesting to me. Remember that I haven't slept in a century so I love seeing you dream and plus you talk, it's the only time I truly see what is going on in that brain of yours." He chuckled.
"Well, if it gets too boring, you can leave if you want." I said to him, even though I didn't want him to leave.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here when you wake up." He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Thank you." I said and kissed his lips lightly before relaxing into his side with my head on his chest. I closed my eyes and soon dosed off into a peaceful sleep.
