Bella's POV won so………………
"Shall we go back to the house now?" I said. I was so embarrassed that Jasper and Alice made me do that in front of Edward. If I was a human, I would be blushing a bright red.
They all laughed while nodding to answer my question.
I was so tempted to stick out my tongue again, like before when I wanted to do it in the car. That seemed like forever ago. So much has happen since them. Still, I valued my sanity, so I didn't do it twice this time.
So, again, I resisted doing so.
I suddenly realized we were one of the last people in the parking, so I spoke up, "Hey, guys, we should be going." I didn't want us to look too suspicious, since we already got quite a bit of attention, being vampires and all. It kind of comes with the package.
Alice and Jasper nodded understandingly while Edward just shrugged. He smiled at me, and I smiled warmly back at him. It felt so right…
I quickly snapped out of it without it being too noticeable. Even so, Jasper and Alice were a different story…
Alice's head popped up first, seeing the future and all. Her eyes met mine as I looked away, but I soon felt Jasper's gaze fall upon me. I glanced at him and his eyes were examining mine. With a shock, I realized that he felt what I felt when I looked at Edward.
Love.
Ugh! Why did this happen to me? I found the one I love, and he's human! Most of all, he is the most tempting human I have ever encountered!
I quietly groaned. Alice had a look of sympathy, while Jasper was trying to find out why my moods were changing so quickly. I hope he doesn't test me for being bipolar…
Edward didn't realize this was all happening, though. It was like he was off in his little world. His normal world. Without me.
Jasper's eyes pulled down in confusion. I smiled at him to make him slightly feel better as I tried to brighten my mood. It actually did make me feel better that Edward was here with me and wasn't running. Yet.
I tried to shake off the mood that kept coming over me by getting into the car with a quick, "See you," to Alice and Jasper.
Edward realized that we were getting inside the cars, and he also got into the yellow car. I quickly caught a smile from him. It was like he heard a joke…
When he got into the car, I started to drive off, going a little faster than I usually do. Edward was gazing outside, looked at the speedometer, and raised his eyebrows at me. I shrugged and told him, "I like going fast."
He laughed in amusement while saying under his breath, "Of course."
After about five minutes, we started to reach the big house. I smiled as I saw Edward's eyes widen in astonishment and amusement from the size of the house. He laughed again, and I smiled at the sound of his laugh.
I got out of the yellow Porsche quickly in excitement; well, anxiousness is more of the right word for my feeling. Edward also got out fast, for a human. Maybe he was feeling the same thing I was.
When we were walking to the front door, I suddenly had the urge to hold his hand. I quickly glanced towards him and then back to the path that we were walking on. I clenched my hand in a fist. I would try to resist falling in love with Edward.
'That's impossible since you already have,' my mind told me, and I knew it was true.
I refrained from sighing and tried to focus on the fact that Edward was with me now. That was the most important thing, right?
I breathed in and put a genuine smile on my face as Edward and I walked into my home.
While we walked in, I saw Jasper and Alice smiling at us smugly. I rolled my eyes at them when Alice mouthed, 'You have no room to talk.' I laughed quietly, thinking about me sticking my tongue at them.
"You finally made it," Alice teased us as she laughed. Jasper joined into the laughter.
"Says the girl who just came here a minute before her sister," Esme said coming into the room gracefully, holding hands with Carlisle smiling at me. I smiled appreciatively at her, and she smiled back.
Esme finally noticed Edward, and her face lit up. "Bella, would you like to introduce your friend?" She quickly winked at me when she said 'friend.' Embarrassment filled me, but I giggled to hide it.
"This is Edward Masen, Esme." I quickly added under my breath so Edward wouldn't hear, "Not like you didn't know his name before.
Esme ignored my comment, but her smile showed that she had heard me. She greeted Edward by saying, "Hello, Edward. My name is Esme Cullen. It is lovely to meet you."
He smiled and spoke up for the first time, "Hello, Mrs. Cullen. It is very nice to meet you as well."
She laughed, "Edward, no need to be formal. You can just call me Esme."
"Okay. Esme, then," he said politely.
Carlisle smiled, "I'm Carlisle Cullen, but you can just call me Carlisle."
"Hello, Carlisle."
Edward looked back to me. There was an emotion in his eyes… What was it? I smiled at him, but internally I wished that I had Jasper's power for the moment.
From the corner of my eye I could see Alice mouthing, 'See you later.' Then, they all raced out of the room quietly at the same moment. So quietly, that Edward didn't even notice. I mentally thanked them.
He turned back to where my family was, but found that they weren't there.
His eyebrows pulled down in confusion. Quite cutely, I might add. Ah! No! He turned back towards me. A hundred questions filled his bright emerald eyes that contrasted his skin quite well…
"Where did they go?" Edward asked curiously. He looked around the big living room.
I shrugged in response and said, "I'm not quite sure."
I saw Edward eye something, and it made his eyes sparkle. I looked to were he was staring at. There was a beautiful, white grand piano.
"Do you play, Edward?" I asked him softly.
He glanced at me, hesitated but finally told me, "Yes, I do."
I grinned. "Would you like to play something for me?"
A small smile came upon his lips, and he nodded while walking towards the beautiful piano. I slowly followed him.
He sat down on the bench, and I silently joined him. He looked down at me, for he was a lot taller than five foot four me. Then his gaze went back to the piano.
Edward placed his fingers on top of the keys and started to play. And, boy, could he play!
His fingers went across the piano gracefully as I watched them. The notes were so sweet that it made me smile. He was so skilled at this, and I had the privilege to watch him.
I closed my eyes, just listening to the music. I always loved listening to music, so this was a treat for me.
A lovely note ended the amazing song. Edward looked back to me. "That was amazing," I said quietly.
"Thank you," Edward responded just as softly.
"I didn't recognize that song. What is its name?" I asked him.
Edward smiled and chuckled, "It doesn't have a name. I created it myself." He wasn't even being smug about it either!
"Edward! That's amazing! You have a gift," I teased him as he laughed, which I joined.
"How about you?" he asked me. "Do you play?"
I shook my head. "Never," I replied. "I'm more of a painter."
"Really? May I see these paintings that you speak of?" he smiled teasingly.
I smiled, truly happy. "Of course. Come upstairs with me!"
So…… How'd you like it? :)
Next chapter will be Edward's POV from this chapter.
The deal is still on.
Can you make it to 230 reviews? Hm… I don't know…
