Edward POV

"Shall we go back to the house now?" Bella said, still slightly embarrassed.

I laughed with Jasper and Alice while nodding.

With a glance at Bella, I noticed that she was thinking about something intensely. I cracked a small smile at her facial expression. It looked funny.

Jasper looked at me, also smiling and feeling my emotions. I grinned back at him.

Bella suddenly came back from her thought and looked around the parking lot. "Hey, guys, we should be going," she spoke to us. I shrugged, while Jasper and Alice nodded.

I smiled widely for Bella, and she returned the gesture. I never noticed how straight her teeth were and how lovely her lips outlined her mouth.

Bella looked away to Alice and Jasper.

I wanted to be with her so badly, but I was too much of a coward to tell her my true feelings. I really, really like her.

I never felt this way about anyone before. It was so surreal and new to me.

I didn't want to confess it, but I think I might be in love with her.

Love. Such a beautiful word, but what was its true definition? Did I really love Bella? In my head, it said I couldn't be too sure, but in my heart, it said I was head over heals in love with Bella Cullen.

I think my heart was right.

I suddenly heard them getting into the cars, so I followed Bella and got into the yellow Porsche. I felt myself smiling widely because of my conclusion. I was in love with Bella. Ah, pure bliss. That was what people are supposed to feel like, right?

After I closed the door, Bella drove off quickly out of the school boundaries. When a minute passed, I reflexively looked at the speedometer, and I noticed that Bella was going over 70.

I raised my eyebrows at her giving her my best, 'Really?' look. She just shrugged and told me, "I like going fast," like it was an everyday thing.

This made me laugh. Knowing her, being a vampire and all, she would go fast. I would too if I usually ran so fast it was all a blur. So, I chuckled while muttering, "Of course."

After about five minutes following that, we went on a side road that appeared to not going to anywhere. Unexpectedly, a huge white house came into few. My eyes widened at the sight. It was so big. It was also kind of funny to me though. I quietly laughed again, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Bella smile at my laughter. I silently wondered if she liked my laugh as much as I liked hers. Probably not.

I was pretty definite that I loved Bella more than she loved me.

Bella parked in the driveway and got out of the car quickly. Her agility still caught me off guard sometimes. I also went out the car quickly, not nearly as fast as Bella, since I was only a mere human. I felt excitement come through me.

This was it. I was finally going to meet her entire family. I saw Bella eye me, but I chose to try to ignore it.

We both stepped in the gigantic house, and Jasper and Alice were already waiting for us. Hm, they made it first after all.

"You finally made it," Alice teased while laughing. Jasper also started to laugh.

"Says the girl who just came here a minute before her sister," said a lady who just walked into the room. She was smiling at Bella and eye, and so was the man whose hand was intertwined with hers. This made me smile. Bella's parents looked so happy.

Silently, I wished that Bella and I could be like that one day.

Pathetic, huh?

The woman was petite and had a heart-shaped face with caramel hair surrounding it. The man was tall, about the same height as me, and had blond hair.

The woman noticed that she didn't know who I was so she asked, "Bella, would you like to introduce your friend?" She talked so warmly and lovingly. I might have been imagining it, but I think she winked at Bella.

Why did she wink?

"This is Edward Masen, Esme," Bella told her mother while giggling slightly, whose name was apparently Esme. That pretty much confirmed my guess of Esme winking at Bella…

Esme smiled at me while greeting me, "Hello, Edward. My name is Esme Cullen. It is lovely to meet you."

I smiled back at her and tried to act as polite as possible, "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."

This made me smile wider. "Okay. Esme, then," I said, grinning.

Esme's husband smiled, "I'm Carlisle Cullen, but you can just call me Carlisle."

"Hello, Carlisle," I relied to him. He was also very polite.

I loved this family, especially Bella. I internally sighed. It was undeniable. I was completely in love with her.

I was in love with Bella Cullen. I smiled as I looked towards Bella, but when I turned back around, her family was missing! My eyebrows pulled down in confusion. How did they leave without me noticing? Then, I realized what had happened. They used their vampire speed.

I looked back to Bella confused.

"Where did they go?" I asked her as I looked around the big room.

Bella shrugged and responded, "I'm not quite sure."

While looking around the room, I spotted a huge white grand piano. I suddenly had the urge to play for her.

"Do you play, Edward?" Bella asked me quietly, noticing how I was looking at the piano.

I suddenly hesitated to answer her question. Should I play that song for her? I quickly decided I would. Bella would enjoy that, so I told her, "Yes, I do."

She grinned while asking, "Would you like to play something for me?"

Of course I couldn't deny that, I thought as I slightly smiled. I nodded to answer her question as I walked to the piano. Bella silently followed.

When I sat down on the bench, Bella also sat. I looked down at her, smiled, and started to play her song.

I played the song that she had inspired only a few days previous.

As I played the music, I saw her smile at the notes, and then close her eyes. If only she knew this song was inspired by her.

When I ended the song, I looked back to Bella's beautiful face. She softly told me, "That was amazing."

"Thank you," I replied, slightly embarrassed.

"I didn't recognize that song. What is its name?" Bella asked me.

My smile got wider as I laughed. I told her, "It doesn't have a name. I created it myself."

Her eyes widened in shock. I wonder how she would react for me telling her that this song was for her. I decided not to though…

"Edward! That's amazing! You have a gift," she teased me, which caused us both to laugh.

"How about you?" I asked Bella. "Do you play?"

"Never," she replied as she shook her head. "I'm more of a painter."

"Really? May I see these paintings that you speak of?" I teased her.

Bella smiled. Her smile made my heart stop a beat or two. "Of course. Come upstairs with me!"

We started to walk up the staircase as excitement filled through me.

Bella headed in front of me. She stopped before a door, her hand on the doorknob as she stated while smiling, "Are you ready for the art works of Bella Cullen?"

I grinned back at her, "Always."

She opened the door to show at least a hundred paintings, maybe more. I gasped in shock.

There were so many, and they were so good! They looked so professionally done!"Bella!" I said as I looked around. "These are amazing!" As I continued to look at the paintings, I repeated what she said to me before, "You have a gift."

Bella laughed at my joke, but I could tell she was noticeably embarrassed, so I told her, "No need to be embarrassed, Bella. You're paintings really are amazing!"

She smiled warmly at me, "As are your piano skills."

In my heart, I felt like I needed to tell her about the song. About how much I cared for her. So, I built up courage and asked, "Bella?"

She smiled at me. Did she feel the same way? Could I tell her? "I think you're really talented in paintings," I chickened out.

She looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "That's not what you were going to say," she accused me.

I looked down at my feet as she told me softly, "You can tell me anything."

"You know that song I played for you earlier?" I quietly asked. She smiled encouragingly and nodded. I took in a deep breath, "I wrote it for you."

Her face lit up. "Really?" I nodded. She grinned as she thanked me, and suddenly said, "I have to show you something." I nodded, now also grinning, happy it didn't make things awkward between us. Maybe I could even tell her how much I liked her. I did love her, but I don't think I was ready to say it, or she was ready to hear it. That would be moving way too fast.

She went deeper into the room and pulled out a box. She looked at me while she opened the box. Inside it were a few pictures. I couldn't see them well yet, but as I did see it finally, I smiled at Bella.

"These are amazing," I told her. I couldn't hide my smile.

The paintings were of me. I looked at some of them. One was me in the meadow where we met unexpectedly. Another was me at lunch. There were so many of them!

I looked at her and blurted out, "Bella, I'm in love with you."

Oh snap!!!

I know that was a cruel cliffy… If you want to rant, REVIEW!
