Chapter 6 Meeting The Cullens (Part 2)

BPOV

Edward turned towards me and I gasped. I noticed his eyes. His eyes weren't different from Alice, Esme or Carlisle but, they were deep golden. Beautiful and intense. I felt like I could look into them forever and get lost. I wanted to. They held so many emotions that I couldn't even understand a few. Fear, anxiousness, excitement, sadness, longing, happiness...He broke the ever-running train of my thoughts by speaking, "Um...would you like me to show you the house?". He looked a tad bit nervous but I couldn't be sure.

"Yeah. Sure", I replied.

He started leading the way with my warm hand in his cold hand. I still couldn't remember why his skin was so cold. I hadn't met any person with skin as cold as his. Well, I actually didn't know that many people. I gave a mental shrug and followed him.

I couldn't concentrate on anything or even a word he said the whole time. I just kept looking at our joined hands, his lips while he was speaking, the way he walked so gracefully or memorizing his Adonis-like features. It was so hard to think that this was real, that this god of a man was with me, holding my hand firmly in his. He had a certain grace, it was memorizing, his attitude was kind of like a lion. When he walked I could see something animal like in him. I felt like he was protecting me.

We reached a closed door in the end of the third floor hallway, he stopped.

"This is my room..." he informed me. Though his voice was still mesmerizing and velvety soft, I detected a hint of nervousness in it.

Oh", I replied. I took a step towards the door and was about to open it when Alice's bell-like voice startled me, making me jump.

"Edward, Bella, the dinner's ready", she informed us softly.

I nodded and Edward replied in his soft voice, "We'll be right down, Alice. Thank you."

Alice just gave her cute grin and bounded down the stairs in her lithe dancer steps. Edward turned to me then with a soft smile and it took everything in my power to not get lost in the deep gold of his eyes and lose my senses. "Shall we?"

I looked back at his bedroom door. I really wanted to see his room, see what kind of taste he had in things. He must have interpreted my expression and quickly added, "We can continue after you've fed, if you'd like."

I gave him a smile and a nod and in return got my death sentence-his crooked smile. Seriously, it's not even funny what he does to me with just that one smile.

He led me downstairs and much to my embarrassment, I tripped but he caught me gently in his arms. The electric sparks ran in full force now from his skin to mine. I felt so strangely protected in his strong arms that I didn't want him to let me go, ever. Being the gentleman- I learned tonight that he was- he just smiled and, much to my distaste, set me on my feet. He took my hand in his again, and led me downstairs without me tripping again, thankfully. The intense electric sparks were running throughout my body from our entwined hands, making the hair on my neck stand up on end with excitement that came alongwith his cold touch. It made my heart beat erratically. Everytime.

I was brought out of my reverie by the sight of six inhumanly beautiful people standing in front of me in a big room with an eight seater dining table. A magnificent crystal chandelier was hanging from the ceiling. The walls were white but even though the color was bland, it still gave the homey and cosy feel to the house and room.

Three of them were familiar faces of Esme, Carlisle and Alice. Edward spoke then, "Bella, this is Alice's boyfriend, Jasper", he pointed to a honey blond male standing with a smiling Alice. He was lean but muscular, had golden eyes and looked uptight. Something about him just told me he was a very calm person. He just gave me a smile and a gentle "hello". I gave him a smile back.

Edward continued while gesturing to a beautiful blond goddess standing with a VERY muscular and burly man who had golden eyes(too) a huge dimpled-grin on his face which made him look less scary and more warm and fuzzy despite his huge built. "This is Jasper's sister, Rosalie and that's my brother and Rose's boyfriend, Emmett."

Emmett greeted me in a booming voice, "Hey there!". To which I just gave a grin.

Rosalie just gave me a very intimidating look and looked me up and down with her golden eyes. I swear I died internally just by looking at her. She was, without a doubt the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She had the perfect height and a body with right curves and her blond hair was hanging on her back in loose curls. The red tee that she was wearing made her look gorgeous. It told me and confirmed me how much inferior and ugly I was. And something about her told me she was apprehensive about me.

Edward then turned towards me and told me that Rosalie and Emmett won't join us for the dinner as they had already had it when they were out. Alice excused herself and Jasper too, with an apology and a soft smile, saying that Jasper wasn't feeling well and she wasn't hungry. Carlisle had some work to do in his office so he excused himself too and Esme told me she had made lasagna and apologized saying that she'll eat with Carlisle when he will be done. It was just me and Edward left now.

Edward took a chair out for me and I sat down thanking him while he sat in the chair beside me. The sight of food made me realize how much hungry I was. Half way through it I saw Edward watching me as I ate. I took a sip of water and asked him, "Aren't you gonna eat?" to which he simply replied "i'm on a special diet"

Finally after eating the heavenly food two times, I turned to Edward with questions burning at my tongue.

"I-I..", I stumbled. What exactly did I want to ask him? Why was his eye color a strange golden color? Why didn't he eat?

"What?" Edward asked me. His golden eyes burning into mine. It was hard not to get lost in them, they were so beautiful, I wonder what his lips feel like. Hmmm... I mentally slapped myself. He was just being polite. Nobody would ever want me.

"What are you thinking?" Edward raised his eyebrows at me.

"Um what?" I asked stupidly.

"You're blushing", I touched my cheek and sure enough there was the damn blush. I blushed harder and shook my head.

"Wont you tell me?" Edward pleaded. His golden eyes burning in mine. I shook my head again.

"Please?" he asked again. I shook my head again "no".

"That's very frustrating", I was surprised to see a angry look on his face. I instantly felt bad, I had made him angry.

"I-I'm sorry", I said softly. A surprised look crossed his face.

"For what?". I shrugged. "I'm not angry at you, Bella", I just kept my gaze down. I felt an ice cold finger touch my chin. "I'm sorry", he said.

I looked up and asked him, "For what?", he shrugged. I smiled and he gave me his dazzling crooked smile. I think I forgot to breath. I took a shaky breathe and gave him another smile.

"Shall I take you home now?" he asked me quietly. My mood changed and I was brought to reality. Home. Right. Billy and Jacob. I quietly nodded.

We both stood up and Edward offered me his hand. I took it and we both left the house and started to walk towards his silver Volvo. He opened the door for me and I sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window. Edward settled in and started the car.

"Tell me something" Edward said.

"Okay?" but, sounded more like a question.

"What are you thinking right now?" he asked me softly. I sighed as I stared at my lap.

"Home. Billy and Jacob", I said quietly. I noticed that Edward's face hardened at their mention.

"They won't touch you. I won't let them", his voice was dangerous. I nodded, I trusted him.

Edward stopped the car and I was surprised to find that we were already at Billy's house. I gently opened the door and stepped out.

"Bye Edward." It pained me to say goodbye to him.

"Bye Bella." His voice was pained too.

I started to walk and I was almost near the window of my room which had been my ally in my escapade, when I tripped. I was about to have a face plant when someone caught my waist. I blinked and there he was, Edward.

"How did you do that?" I asked him, surprised.

"Do what?" he asked me. His eyes were guarded.

"You were in your car!" I said.

"I was standing right next to you, Bella", he said slowly.

"No, I saw you in your car!" I accused. His beautiful features hardened.

"Go home, Bella."

"No, first tell me how did you do that."

"Go home", he said and walked towards his car.

"Wait!" but he was already gone. Tears leaked from my eyes and my heart broke. He left me too, I was alone now. My dream was over and the Adonis in it had disappeared.
