BPOV: I Love You
"Wait. What do you mean I have to ride with Edward?" I asked her. We had all got packed and it was pretty late but Alice told Rose and I to meet her in her room so here we are. Lucky me, I just got told that because Alice is bringing to many bags that we have to take two cars and I have to go with Edward in his Volvo. While the happy couples get to ride in Emmett's Jeep. Just Great.
"You're riding with Edward, so tell with it." She was still throwing things into her suitcases.
"Why can't I ride with you guys?" I begged Rose, but she only rolled her eyes.
"You are riding with Edward because he is going to be driving alone, and Jasper and I do not want an audience in the back seat tomorrow." She giggled, but I put a hand up to stop her.
"Okay, I get it. Stop. I'll ride with him, but I won't like it." They both gave each other silent stares until they broke out laughing at me. They were so immature.

"You guys are jerks. I can't believe your making me go on a three hour car ride with the one person I can't even be in a room with." I yelled at Emmett and Jasper as they continued to play their video games.
"You don't want to be alone with Bella?" Jasper looked over at me with a confused look on his face.
"I said I can't even be in a room with her...without wanting to kiss her." I whispered the last part, but they both heard it and looked right at me with smiles.
"Oh, that's going to be a problem." Jasper sighed, leaning back into the couch. Emmett nodded and put the game controller on the table and turned back to me.
"Sorry but Alice already told Bella. Even though Alice told you to take it slow...I think she has something up her sleeve. It kinda scares me. Never mind I know it scares me." Jasper and I started laughing at Emmett's horror ridden face, of course he only ended up punching both of us in the arm.
"I guess will just have to see what happens, and take it from there." I'm already hating camping, the funny thing is that we aren't even there yet.

Ten minutes. That's how long I've been in the car with Edward, and all I want to do is scream my feelings out to him. But I'm not going to do that I'm going to have will power. Ha. Will power my ass.
"So...do you like being home?" I had to ask him the awkward silence was really starting to get on my nerves. He looked over at me and looked back to the road in a millisecond. Does my hair look bad. Does my breath smell bad. Sweet Madonna, only three hours and fifty minutes more of this madness and then I can wallow in self pity. I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard his velvet smooth voice reply back.
"Ya, it's nice. I missed my family. How do you like being home from school?" I let out a small sigh of relief. I can do small talk, I just have to try not to tweak out.
"Well I'm not going to say I'm ecstatic. Mostly because that means more shopping with Alice and I do not do shopping. I rather just throw on a pair of jeans and a baggy shirt. But I like being back, seeing Esme, and Carlisle. Hanging out with every one. Just relaxing." I smiled at him, I was shocked when he smiled back. My breathing stopped and I had to keep telling myself to keep breathing, keep breathing.
"I'm sorry we never got to stay in touch, I wanted to but when I started getting busier and busier. It got harder and harder." I looked over at him from the corner of my eye, he looked sad.
"It's okay, we all get busy. I understand, just like every one else does...whatever, what happened in the past stays in the past. Why don't we start over. Hi my name is Isabella Marie Swan, but every one calls me Bella." I twisted in the seat so that I was looking at him, and holding my hand out waiting for him to shake it. He did.
"My name is Edward Masen Cullen. Do not call me Eddie, I hate it no matter what Emmett says. Edward is perfect. So, Bella what's you favorite color?" I can do this. It's polite conversation.
"Blue. Yours?"
"Green."
"Figures." I retorted, but wishing I hadn't. He looked at me curiously, before turning back to the road and speeding like a race car driver.
"Figures what?" I might as well tell him. Even though it's pretty stupid and he'll probably think I'm weird and he'll pull the car over and push me out.
"It's the color of your eyes." He looked at me stunned. Oh great now I did it.
"Forget it. You probably think I'm crazy, it's just you have nice eyes. Okay. Favorite book?" He still looked pretty stunned, but answered my question.
"I'm not big reader. I read, but I like a lot of different kinds. You?" I had to think about that question. I absolutely loved to read, but mostly classics.
"Umm...Weathering Heights. I've read it so much it's practically falling apart." He laughed. Slowly he looked over at me and a smile rose on his face.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" Oh no, please don't let me have anything on my face. I already made a fool of myself.
"No. Your face is perfect. It's just that...your not like anyone I know, your different. Good different." Holy Metallic, he said I have a perfect face.
"Ya, I get that a lot. I'm not your average twenty year old. I don't like to shop, I hate the color pink. I love to read, listen to music, sleep. Definitely sleep. I've never had a serious relationship, because guys don't understand me. Sometimes I don't care what people think about me though, as long as I'm happy." Shut up Bella, your going to scare him off. I was about to say that I was sorry to tell him my whole life story when I felt a warm hand rest on mine. I looked down to see Edward holding my left hand. He was so warm and soft, I never wanted to let go.
"If it makes you feel better, I like you. I don't think your a normal twenty year old...but thats what I like about you." I didn't say anything so he continued.
"I hate shopping, Alice got the shopping gene I didn't. I love music, playing the piano, my car. I've never had a serious relationship, because girls don't understand me." The last part made my curious.
"You've never had a girlfriend?" I asked him, trying not to pry.
"No. Girls only wanted to be with me for my looks, they never understood me. I like girls who read books, not fashion magazines." This I had to laugh at, Edward was really nice. He was just like me.

She is amazing. She is so unique, and the best part is that she doesn't care what people think about her. She's beautiful, smart, funny and likes music. Theres no turning back now, I'm a goner.
"So have you had any boyfriends?" I asked her after a couple of minutes of silence that I couldn't take. She blushed slightly, trying not to make me notice but I did and I liked it when she did.
"Only one but he was..." She was trying to get the word that best described him, she was making weird faces and I had to hold back form laughing and hurting her feelings.
"Crazy, scary, a pretty boy...I can go on all day." She rolled her eyes at me and jumped when she realized what she wanted to say.
"Mike Newton. I don't need a word to describe him. It's Mike Newton, he's everything you hate rolled into one person." She must be joking, the Mike Newton I knew was a jerk, a real low life.
"Are you talking about Mike Newton, the kid that was in a grade lower than mine, well your grade.He asked me if he could go out with Alice. Who by the way was already going out with Jasper. He was a man whore. He slept with all the girls in my senior year...and he was younger than them!" I turned to see Bella clutching her stomach and her face beet red, she was laughing so hard that tears were coming out. I joined in, because it was actually pretty funny. When we started to get out of our laughing attack, I realized that I hadn't laughed that much in a long time. I think the last time I laughed like that was when...was when I was home before college and hanging out with Bella and Alice.
"Ya, thats him and no I did not sleep with him. It was stupid I only needed a date to prom. Then he asked me if I wanted to go home with him, of course I said no. Alice, Jasper and I laughed the whole way home." I have to tell her. I just have to get it over with. I'm falling madly in love with her and I think she should know. I started to pull over on the side of the road, Bella looked scared and worried at the same time.
"Your not going to hack me up and pieces and leave me in the woods are you?" She looked over at me, scared out of her mind. She looked like she wanted to jump out and start running. I shook my head at her and turned the car off, slowly shifting my body towards her.
"Bella do you believe in love at first sight?" She snorted and shrugged. Thats a great ego boost for me.
"Sure. If the two people aren't crazy." She laughed, but then stopped when she saw that I wasn't laughing.
"Believe me they aren't crazy. Bella...I'm in love with you and I know I just met you again after so many years. But when I saw you in that kitchen, I don't know I just fell in love. Your everything I want, your smart and funny and your...your you. Thats what I'm looking for." I didn't know what else to say, she looked like she was about to have a heart attack. I silently prayed that she didn't.

He just told me he loved me. I'm sitting here, scared shit less. What do I say back. He's looking at me weird now. This is what I wanted isn't it. I love him, I do. I love him.
"I love you." I said, making him jump like I do when someone scares me. Then he started smiling, that crooked smile that made my breathing stop. Before I could change my mind he was kissing me and I was kissing him back. It felt so right. This moment.
"I've always loved you." I told him as we pulled apart for air.
"I should have realized sooner, we could have been together." Then we were kissing again, are lips crashing into each other and our tongues intertwined together as one. We pulled apart when my phone started going off. I looked at the time, we had been making out for a half an hour. Great this could only mean one thing.
"Yes Alice?" Then the perfect moment was ruined. She was yelling and screaming into the phone, I couldn't understand a word she was saying.
"Alice? Alice? ALICE! SHUT UP! I can't understand you when your yelling and screaming in my ear." I heard Edward laughing while watching me talk to his annoying sister.
"Where are you guys?" Oh crap.
"I had to go to the bathroom really bad, so Edward pulled over at a gas station. Were on our way." I was trying not to sound like I was lieing, Edward was still laughing. Probably at my horrible acting skills.
"Oh okay. We pulled over. Will wait for you, because we should be there soon." I told Alice we would be okay, but she refused and hung up. I looked to Edward who had a huge smile on his face.
"No matter how long I've known Alice, she still gets on my nerves." He shrugged and kissed my lips softly, pulling away only to rest his hand on my cheek and stroke it.
"I love you." He said letting go of my cheek and turning the car on again.
"I love you to." He smiled, the breath taking smile and held my hand. We stayed like that for the rest of the trip.
Hope you guys liked it. I couldn't wait for him to tell her. But it's going to get better. Will they tell anybody? Or keep it a secret. Your just gonna have to find out. Read and Review!!
