I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. Last night had been one of the best nights I had in a while. I all but skipped down the hall to the kitchen. After we had sorted out our feelings we settled back down in the front room to watch a film. I wasn't exactly paying attention to what was on the screen. I was to busy looking at Bella. She really was amazing. I was just lucky enough to have her in my life. After the film finished I noticed Bella had fallen asleep. I smiled. I then picked her up careful not to wake her and carried her to my bed. Once she was tucked up I kissed her on the forehead, I could of swore I saw a smile come to her lips, and left her to sleep. We'd only just got together I wasn't going to freak her out by sharing a bed with her.
When I reached the kitchen I saw Bella sat on one of the stools with a book in hand reading. I could of laughed. It was a Sunday and Bella was reading. Something I'd normally do once I had dragged myself out of bed. I could get use to seeing her there every morning. I pushed that thought to the back of my head and walked over to her. Peering over her shoulder I saw she was about halfway through it. She seemed to still not of noticed me. She was more like me than she knew. I got caught up in things as well. I slowly put my hand down and took the book out of her hands. She spun around to pout at me as I held the book out of her reach.
"Hey! I was reading that!" She exclaimed
"I can see that but I doubt I would of caught your attention any other way" I grinned
"You could try the typical. Good morning Bella" She replied
"Hmm...I could of but with that book in the way I couldn't do this" I smiled and kissed her.
"Okay your forgiven" She smiled
"What would the lady like for breakfast?" I asked walking towards the cupboards.
"Omelet please! But I'm helping" She demanded
"As the lady wishes" I grinned
With that she jumped up and walked over to the fridge to grab the eggs. I grabbed the frying pan and bowl. Together we made an omelet each. We then collapsed on the sofa with them and watched some lame Sunday program. We sat there making fun out of the program and eating our omelets. Once we had finished I placed the plates in the sink and I returned to the sofa to sit with Bella. Once I sat down Bella laid her head on my lap and looked at me with a smile. After about 2 minutes of her constant starring I looked down at her and smiled.
"Bella do I have some thing on my face?" I asked wondering why she was starring
"No" She smiled
"Then why are you starring at me" I questioned
"Because I'm trying to figure out what is so special about you" She stated
"What makes you think there's anything special about me?" I was completely confused
"Don't take this the wrong way but it normally takes me longer than 7 days to decide if I should date someone. But with you I don't know it just feels natural" She explained
"I know what you mean. I was never one to just jump into relationships but we seem to just understand each other" I agreed
"I like it" She smiled
"Me too" I grinned
We sat on the sofa for a bit longer and then we finally dragged ourselves off it to get dressed. We were heading over to my parents for dinner and so Bella could say hi. She'd met them before when Alice graduated. Unfortunately I was unable to attend because of something at university. I did call however to congratulate both of them. That was back when I didn't know how amazing Bella was. Once we were dressed I walked into the library and picked up the guitar. I started to strum it lightly just loving the sound it created. Before I knew it a tune was ringing out throughout the room. I noticed Bella standing in the doorway smiling at me. I nodded me head signalling for her to come join me. She walked over and sat down next to me. I continued playing and she sat and watched. I stopped when my fingers started to hurt.
"Your amazing" Bella sighed
"I'm alright not as good as my old room mate." I smiled
"Well I think your awesome. The closest I've been to amazing music is my mates playing in a band in the basement" Bella laughed
"Isn't that the best kind. The bands that start out in garages or basements. Then they get a break and become this amazing band that all the teenage girls fall in love with" I joked
"Oh yeah totally. Give me a drugged up musician over a well dress hot lawyer." She challenged
"Are you suggesting your friends did drugs Bella?" I asked in mock horror
"No they were sort of on a tight lease when it came to there parents. Well there dads anyway" she grinned
"You make your friends sound like dogs" I laughed
"Oh believe me sometimes I could of swore they were part wolf!" Bella giggled
We stayed there talking until Alice arrived. Bella all but ran to get the door when Alice knocked. I laughed when Alice skipped into the room with Jasper a knowing smile on her face. I sometimes believe my sister could see the future. Alice explained that Jasper was coming as well to meet our parents. With that said we were ready to head off to see the parents. I was looking forward to seeing them. It had been a while since I'd had the time to spend with my family. We grabbed our coats and headed down to the garage to get my car.

Last night was officially the best time of my life. Waking up again this morning to find myself in Edwards bed was the best feeling. It would have been better if he was there with me but he was a gentleman which is part of the reason I liked Edward. When I walked down the hall and peaked into the guest room Edward was still fast asleep. He was actually so cute when he slept. Leaving him to sleep I headed back down the hall to my new favourite room in the flat. Walking in I run my hands up and down the rows of books, loving the feeling of them. I picked up an old favourite of mine 'Romeo and Juliet' I was always a sucker for a love story. I then walked back down the hall book in hand and sat at the counter. I don't know how long I sat there but I was about halfway through the book when someone took it out my hands. Of course it was Edward. I really had to learn how to not get so distracted in a book. He didn't seem to mind though. When he asked what I wanted for breakfast I insisted on helping which he was happy to oblige. Once we had finished eating breakfast we settle back onto the couch, my head in his lap.
I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was just gorgeous and perfect. When I first met Edward it was hard not to get along with him and I couldn't deny being attracted to him. I mean what girl in there right mind wouldn't be. With he piercing green eyes and his unruly hair. Not even getting started on his body. I was one lucky girl for him to even want to go out with me. That first car ride home was relaxing and enjoyable, not awkward and uncomfortable like I expected. It was like meeting up with an old friend and catching up. The more and more I got to know Edward the more and more I fell for him. He was a gentleman but also cheeky. I soon learnt that with his drop dead gorgeous looks was an amazing personality to match. I never was one to meet a guy and go out with them so soon. My last boyfriend was my best friend for 15 years before I went out with him. Yet I knew with Edward it was different, that my feelings had always been a bit more than friendly.
He soon asked me why I was starring and I explained everything. Soon we decided to get dressed and headed our septate ways to get dressed. Once I was dressed I headed out to find Edward and it didn't take long because before I had even stepped out the room I could hear someone playing the guitar. I followed the sound to the library and stood in the doorway as Edward strummed away. Without stopping he signalled for me to come sit next to him. I was amazed by how good he was. Edward being Edward denied he was any good and always seemed to think there was someone better than him out there. When Alice arrived I actually ran to the door so I could hug her. I knew she'd have that 'I told you so' smile on her face but for once I was happy she was right. Although I should never bet against Alice she's always right. She hugged me back as soon as I opened the door. I wasn't surprised to see Jasper standing behind her. When we they actually got in the house me and Edward grabbed our coats and we headed to the car.
Now we were sat in the car on our way to see Esme and Carlise. I hadn't seen them since me and Alice graduated from College. Me and Alice sat in the back chatting while Edward and Jasper chatted in the front. Every now and then I'd notice Jasper look at Alice from the corner of his eye and Alice would smile. My best friend had it bad not that I could talk. Edward was doing the same except in the rear view mirror. I only stopped talking with Alice when we turned down a road that was full of massive expensive looking houses. I knew the Cullen's never had a problem with money but I had no idea they were this well off. When we turned into a drive way we stopped in front of a gate as Edward typed a code into the pad and the gates opened. I felt like I was going to meet the queen or something. I probably would of felt under dressed if Alice wasn't wearing jeans as well. As we arrived to the front of the house I could see Esme standing on the steps waiting to greet us.
Before the car hadn't even stopped moving Alice was out the car and running to hug her mother. Edward and Jasper laughed at her enthusiasm. Once the car had actually finished moving and the engine was off I stepped out and went over to where Alice and Esme stood talking.
"Bella!" Esme smiled pulling me in to a hug "It's so nice to see you again."
"And you. I would of visited sooner but with the jet lag I've barley had time to do anything" I explained
"Oh don't you fret dear we have a whole year together" Esme replied smiling. She turned to greet Edward with a hug as he and Jasper had reached us.
Alice must have told Esme about Jasper because she was more than happy to meet him. I would have to corner Alice when we got home to talk about everything. I think we needed a girly night in and a good old gossip. We walked into the house and as we got to the living room Carlise appeared out of a room and smiled at me.
"Bella. How are you doing? Surviving living with Alice?" He smiled
"Barley!" I joked "And what about you how are you holding up with Esme?" I grinned
"My heads still above water" Carlise laughed
"Hey!" both Esme and Alice exclaimed
"Like mother like daughter!" Both me and Carlise grinned. This was something me and Carlise did. Esme and Alice were alike quite a lot. If they wanted something done then there was no hope for anyone else it would be done. So we would joke about how we were surviving living with them.
Soon we were all sat down in the living room talking and laughing. I was glad Jasper had come because most of the attention was on him. I'm not sure he was to comfortable with all the attention. Esme excused herself to go make dinner and me and Alice offered to help. As we left the men to bond. Once in the kitchen we got started on dinner. As I was pealing potatoes and Alice was chopping the vegtables. Esme made her pounce on our love lives.
"So Alice what is Jasper to you?" She asked glancing at Alice.
"Well were seeing each other at the moment. I mean I only met him two nights ago but we haven't been apart since. I've learn't so much about him and I really like him" Alice explained
"Well I wish you all the luck dear he seems like a very nice boy. But I do hope you haven't been leaving poor Bella out she did only get here 10 days ago" Esme questioned
"Oh don't worry Bella and Edward have barley been apart since they met" Alice smirked
"Oh really? Could it be that my Son is actually going out instead of working?" Esme exclaimed
"What can I say he just seems to be attached to Bella" Alice giggled
"I could say the same for you and Jasper" I replied to Alice
"True but at least we were honest about our feelings from the start it took you and Edward a whole 10 days to figure out that you both fancied the pants off each other!" Alice exclaimed
"Alice!" I shouted. I didn't want Esme to find out that I was dating her son this way!
"Opps!" Alice smiled not sounding sorry at all! Evil Pixie!
"Alice" Esme shook her head "I knew something was up when Edward was smiling a proper smile. I'm happy for you Bella. What ever comes of your relationship doesn't matter to me as long as you and Edward are happy with it. Same goes for you and Jasper, Alice." Esme smiled warmly.
"Thank you Esme" I grinned.
With that Esme put some music on and we carried on preparing dinner while having a gossip. It reminded me of back home when I lived with my mother. We would sing in the kitchen while making dinner together. It made me feel home sick thinking about it. I'd spent a weekend with her before I'd come to England but sometimes no matter how old you are you need your mum. I needed to get my mind off of my family or would probably end up crying about it. God must of heard my plea as Edward appeared then and asked if he could borrow me. Both Esme and Alice all but shouted yes at him. Edward gave them a weird look and I just glared at them. Edward then took my hand and lead me to some stairs that led down to the basement. Once in the basement I saw that it had been converted into a an music room. There was a recording booth on one side and all kinds of instruments dotted around the room. But the thing that caught my attention was the beautiful grand piano at the other end of the room. Edward was stood by it with a fond smile on his face looking at the piano.
"This was my first piano. I learnt to play on this piano. I made Esme keep it and bring it down here. I think I've spent more money on fixing this piano than its actually worth" Edward grinned
"It's beautiful and I bet it sounds even better when you play it" I hinted
"What you think I brought you down here just to look at it." Edward smiled sitting down on the bench.
I followed and sat next to him. As soon as the first note played I was in love with the song. It was beautiful and he played it amazingly well. He could probably do this for a living. He looked like he got lost in the music, like as soon as his fingers hit the keys he transported into another world and took anyone that could hear the song with him. This song was all about love and thankfulness. It was about someone who he cared for deeply who had done a lot for him and who he was thankful for. It was truly a master piece. He finished the song and I was almost in tears about how beautiful it was.
"It's Esme's favourite because I wrote it for her." Edward explained
"That was the song you wrote for your mum for mothers day. Edward that's amazing. Your extremely gifted." I replied
"Thanks but it really is just a hobby" Edward smiled
"Well I'm honoured I got to hear you play that. It truly was beautiful." I thanked him
"It was an honour to play it for you" Edward grinned "So I'm guess Alice told my mother about us"
"You know Alice anything to get the pressure of her relationship" I explained
"Well at least we don't have to go through the whole meeting my parents thing. You already know them" Edward laughed
"Aww but you still have to meet mine and my dad is a cop and has a gun" I joked
"Well that won't be for a bit so I've got time to buy myself a bullet proof vest" Edward shrugged
I laughed "Don't worry I wouldn't let him do that"
"Why thank you" Edward smiled
"Oh I wasn't doing it for you I just don't want my dad to end up in jail" I replied
"Nice to know Bella." Edward pretended to be offended
I laughed and kissed him on the cheek and hugged him "He wouldn't shoot you unless you did something to hurt me"
"Well I don't plan to hurt you at all" Edward claimed hugging me back
"Then we don't have a problem" I smiled and tilted my head up to kiss him
I always got lost in Edwards kisses and I don't think I'd ever get tired of them. I just hoped that he was around along time so I'd never have to live without them. I'd known Edward almost 2 weeks now and I had fallen harder for Edward than anyone in the whole time I'd spent in America. He just seemed to get me. I couldn't quite remember the last time I'd been this happy. I mean I was happy without a boyfriend but I was happier with Edward. We sat there for a bit and I casually was pressing keys just enjoying the sound it made around the room. Edward was content to just sit there with me and I was more than happy to sit there with him. Soon though Esme called us up for dinner and we had to leave the beautiful room although I was sure I'd be able to come back to it soon. I helped Esme and Alice put all the dishes on the table. It was a Sunday roast which I remember Alice always complaining about how she craved a roast on a Sunday at college. It was an English tradition according to Alice it was impossible for a English person to survive with out a roast every Sunday. We then sat down and began our meal together. I was sat next to Alice with Edward opposite me and Jasper opposite Alice. There were two spear seats and Esme and Carlisle sat at each end. As I sat and joked and enjoyed hearing stories about Alice and Edward growing up I realised that even though I was away from my family back home I was becoming part of a new family.
