Chapter 11-
Edward's point of view
I let out a sigh as I slowly slumped down in my seat on a bench in the park. It was a cool morning so I decided I would breathe in the fresh cool air before it turns sticky and warm. It had been a week after the Halloween party and I have not seen the perfect angel in my dreams since then. Thinking back to it, she acted strange that day.
It was getting frustrating, trying to figure her out. She was different from the plastic supermodel Malibu Barbie types that run all around Hollywood nowadays. She was interesting. Her writing has dept and emotion that I have not experience in other stories. They show her character and her personalities. Her insecurities. Her writing gives the reader information about her without her own knowledge perhaps.
I breathed in a lungful of fresh air and closed my eyes so I could concentrate on the sounds around me and not on the surrounding itself. I felt a presence walking closer and normally I would panic, but this presence was soothing and familiar.
The person sat down and stayed quiet. Most normal people would be all over me. Of course, I was not trying to sound cocky or anything but, it was just fact. However, I never did say anything about this person being normal. My curiosity got the best of me and I opened my eyes to face the person that sat next to me.
As my eyes slowly opened in unison, the light of the morning sun hit it. I turned towards the person next to me and saw the one person I wanted to see.
Her long brown hair in in a messy ponytail with a few strands escaping and flowing into her perfectly heart-shaped face. Her almost translucent skin shined in the bath on sunlight that shone behind her. Her chocolate brown eyes had an amused expression but the bags under her eyes made her looked tired. Her lips curved upwards as a small smile brightened her face.
"Good morning," I greeted her as I straightened myself up and sat up straight. A tinge of pink blush coloured her cheeks as she looked away and stared at her feet as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.
"Hey," she said in a whispered tone as she raised her head the stare at the sky and leaned back onto the bench. We sat there in a comfortable silence for a while as birds played around with each other and a squirrel scurried across the cement pavement.
"Um, do you want to get some coffee with me?" she asked in a hopeful tone, which puzzled me.
"Of course," why would I not? I added in my mind and stood up. I turned and held my hand out for her to take but she refused which made my heart ache.
"I'm perfectly capable of getting up myself, but thank you anyway," she stated with a sweet smile that was sweeter than any nectar. Humming birds would probably find it sweeter as well.
I smiled back and we started our walk towards the closest café, and hopefully it far away so I could spend more time with Bella.
"So, how far along are you with your new book?" I asked, trying to make small talk. She was silent for a while so I immediately assumed she did not hear me.
"I'm almost done. I only have a bit left to write then it's on to editing," she sighed.
So she did hear me.
We almost made it to the café when I accidentally bumped into a person.
"Like watch where you're like going, jeez," she snapped and looked up. Once she saw who I was, her eyes widened and her scowling face turned into a bright orb that could have been the sun.
"OMG! YOU ARE SO LIKE THE EDWARD CULLEN!" she screamed and every female face turned towards where I was standing.
"Like oops, sorry," the girl whispered in a tone that showed she was not teasing.
"Oh no," I heard Bella say as I felt I tug on her arm. I turned my gaze on her and saw her frightened expression.
"They're coming," she whispered and shifted her eyes on the now squealing and screaming fan girls and some fan boys.
"Come on, we have to go," I said in a hushed tone and pulled Bella quickly into the café. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and speed dialled Alice. I pushed Bella into the bathroom and locked to door behind me.
"Hey! Where are you?" Alice screamed into my ear.
"Code red Alice! Code red!" I said in a panic voice and heard Alice let out a loud gasp.
"Oh my gosh! Emmett! Jasper! Code red!" She informed my elder brothers.
"Again…" I heard Jasper sigh calmly.
"Hell no! Not now! I was about to kick some ass!" Emmett whine followed by a loud whacking sound.
"OW," He cried.
"Where are you?" Alice asked and her voice was now in a panic.
"In Starbucks. The one nearest to the park. Hurry, I don't think the bathroom door can hold them if they found us in here," I answered.
"Us?" she asked, spotting the plural.
"I'm here with Bella," I whispered and looked at Bella, who was examining a window. Thinking of a way to escape no doubt.
"This is worse than I thought," she said. "Alright, try to find a way to escape and we'll be right there."
"Thank you," I muttered quickly and snapped my phone shut. I turned around to find Bella already opening the window.
"We have to hurry. My sister said that she'll be here," I urged as I walked towards the window. I looked outside and saw that it led out into an alleyway.
"This will have to do," I muttered and turned to look and Bella.
"You'll go first then I'll follow behind," I told her and saw her face pulling into a stubborn look.
"Why should I go first? You're the one they're after, so you should escape first," she said stubbornly, crossing her arms over her chest. I let out a frustrated sigh.
"How about this, you go out there first to see if the coast is clear. If it is, I will follow suite, alright?" I compromise. I was not in the mood for stubbornness. I waited as she contemplated my compromise and on and on the seconds ticked.
"Fine," she said finally and proceeded to climb out the window. I put my hands on both sides of her hips and lifted her until she was out of the window into the alleyway.
"Alright, the cost is clear," I heard her yell out and climbed out the window myself without much difficulty. I grabbed her hand and hastily made my way towards the streets but just as we were there, a large mob of people appeared.
"LOOK! THERE HE IS!" they screamed and I turned to run the other way. We almost reached the end where the alleyway opens up to a street, another large mob of fan blocked us.
"Damn," I cursed under my breath.
"We're surrounded," I heard Bella whisper.
Yes, we are…
This was quite a long chapter in my point of view. I attempted to write with dept and emotion in the beginning and I hope I succeeded. Did I? Guess what? I actually did spell check. I hope nothing's mispelled. If there is, please tell me. And no, colour is not spelled wrong. English is not my greatest subject, I find it quite boring actually. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. It was supposed to make up for the long days I have made you waited for an update. I am going to be moving next month to Georgia so it's going to be busy for me. I noticed that Edward and Bella haven't had their first kiss and it's already the 11th chapter. I think they're going to kiss soon. Besides, it's not up to me, it's up to them. Anyway, I am working on my story which has yet to be posted. So, bye bye for now.
P.s. I'm sorry if there are random parts in there that the story can do without, but I couldn't help it. It just came out. Once again, if you find the random sayings that popped into my mind slightly annoying, please tell me.
