Chapter 7
He flew us home. During the flight, I was thinking of how perfect it was, right there in his arms. Nothing else mattered, only the fact that he was there with me. Then we landed.
" I want to show you something tonight. Do you want me to come and pick you up at 12 AM?" he smiled at me.
"Yes all right." Of course I wanted him to come and pick me up.
"All right ,I will see you then" he winked at me, and flew away. Suddenly I was drowning in melancholy. I felt empty, but I should be strong, I was going to see him in less than 6 hours.
When I got inside home, Alice was waiting for me. She looked anxious.
"Where have you been little lady?" she asked me with an angry face.
" I went to my house and found my engagement ring" I couldn't talk to her of course about Edward but I didn't want to lie to her either. So this way was for the best.
"And you found it?" she wondered.
"Yes" I showed her my hand. The ring was glowing on my finger.
"Oh cool" he smiled and then cheered up" Jasper and I plan to get you out tonight. We think some time out, will be the best. He thought of calling Emmet and Rosalie , if you want of course. Since they are getting married in 4 days they will be all full of love, but they are fun" she added.
"I think, I need to stay home tonight" I tried to seem calm and tired and not fully excited since I was going out with Edward.
"But it will do good for you Bella, c'mon we all can have fun! Or at least some fun" she tried to convince me.
" I am sorry Alice, but I am not ready to have "fun" without him around. I need to be on my own for a while, to realize what happened."
Alice frowned. But except for the fact that I was going out with Edward, I was not in a mood for going out with the couples and pretending to be happy.
"We will do it some other time sweetie, thank you for the offer" I smiled.
"All right I understand" she hugged me."Just so you know I will always be here for you, and when you need to talk, I am here." She squeezed me.
"Same here, you know I love you more than a sister" I squeezed her too.
" I need to go now" Alice told me" I have to do some shopping with Rosalie for her wedding and then we'll meet the guys" she smiled. "Are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Yes I am, Have fun hun" I smiled back. And then she left.
I had to see what I would wear tonight. All my clothes had burned. I needed to be pretty today. No matter what he wanted to show me, I had to look beautiful. I went into Alice's room and opened her closet. It was hard to pick something with my taste. Everything was so Alice. After of half hour looking through all her clothes I found a silver dress. I wore it and I thought "yeah that will do it." Then I picked some matching shoes. My face looked like a zombie's. I decided I had to have a bath in order to feel human again. This reminded me so much of our first date. I was so anxious that time too.
After my shower, I slept a couple of hours since I felt a little exhausted, and then I started getting ready. It took me a half hour to decide whether to leave my hair down, or get it up. In the end I decided, it would look better down. I put a little make up on, my favourite perfume and was waiting for Edward, while looking at my engagement ring and thinking about the first time we talked.
It was my first day at school. I was anxious and pissed at the same time. Forks, why , why had I decided to come here? I arrived at my school with my old car. Before I could park where I wanted to because my car was too slow, a silver Volvo got my spot. And then he got out and had a huge smile on his face.
"Stupid shinny Volvo owner" I murmured.
"Sorry for that" he giggled." But that is my favourite spot" he winked.
"Aha" I said with gritted teeth" Whatever" I added.
"I don't want to be mean or anything" he said
" All right. Now let me find a new spot ok?" I wanted to just punch him a little bit. He gave me goose bumps and made me angry.
"There is one" he showed me.
"Yeah thanks"
" I am Edward Cullen by the way, Nice to meet you" he smiled my favourite crooked smile.
I was dazzled. I tried to breathe calmly.
" I am Bella Swan"
"Nice to meet you Bella" he smiled again.
His smile could officially stop my heart.
"Nice to meet you too Edward" He had me at hello. He walked away from the car and I parked at the spot he showed me.
The bell rang and it stopped me from daydreaming. I opened it. And he was there, perfect as usual.
" WoW, you look extraordinary. You are exactly like a diamond, so precious" he said to me with his perfect velvet voice. I blushed.
"You look like diamond yourself" I told him, "Only you have wings also" We both giggled.
"Ready?" He asked me and gave me his hand.
"Always" I told him and grabbed his hand. And we flew up in the night sky.
