Edward POV
If I do have to say so myself, I thought the date last night with Bella was incredible. Everything went perfectly, and I had such a great time. I'm pretty sure Bella enjoyed herself a lot too!
Bella… I smiled as I thought of her. Who would think that such an amazing person would love me? Not me.
I am positive that I love her more than she does with me. How could that even be possible? I never would have thought that I could love someone so much until I met Bella. I never would have guessed that I would have fallen so quickly! And now look at me! I am head-over-heals in love with her!
I haven't had much experience with relationships, since I had never had a girlfriend before, but I can say I truly love her.
Then there is the issue for tonight: Bella meeting my parents. It was my idea, yet I cannot help but to feel anxious about it.
My parents? They were ecstatic about meeting Bella- especially my mother.
She was preparing dinner. I was slightly nervous about this part. Bella doesn't eat food, but I can't tell my mother that! Ah, the complications of having a vampire as a girlfriend.
That thought made me smile. My vampire girlfriend, I thought as the laughter burst through my lips.
I'm in love with a vampire.
I glanced at the clock, and it was thirty minutes until Bella was supposed to come over. I quickly texted Bella. I told her to be prepared about eating. She responded with a smiley face that made me laugh.
When she finally came in, she was wearing a red top and a white skirt. She looked stunning. She quickly kissed me hello. I grinned at her, and she responded with a bright smile. "Ready to meet my parents?" I asked her.
"Yes!" she replied excitedly. Bella was reminding me a bit of Alice at this point.
I brought her into my house. We first saw my father. He smiled at Bella and said, "It's nice to finally meet you, Bella."
She smiled widely and said, "The feeling is mutual, Mr. Mason."
He laughed, and told her. "You don't have to call me that, Bella. Just call me Edward, Sr."
My mother joined us. She greeted Bella with a hug, and told her, "Welcome to the family. I'm Elizabeth, and yes, you can call me that. I heard about the discussion you had with my husband." She smiled.
Bella was shocked at first with the hug but seemed relived she was accepted. It seems like she was as nervous meeting my parents as I was meeting hers! I liked seeing this side of her. It made her feel more real to me. I feel like she is just going to leave one day and find someone as perfect as she is. But for some strange reason, she chose me. And I don't know how I would survive without her.
Bella commented how lovely our home was. I stifled a giggle. Our home was lovely? Has she seen her house? I raised my eyebrows at Bella. She just smiled at me. I would ask her about that later.
"It's time to eat!" my mother declared as she set the food on the table, which happened to be lasagna. I eyed Bella. As we sat down to eat, she winked at me.
"This looks fantastic, Elizabeth!" Bella told my mother.
My mother blushed a slight shade of pink and told her, "Thank you, Bella. That means a lot to me." Bella grinned back.
I was shocked when Bella actually ate the food! I didn't even know she could! I soon noticed that after she ate the lasagna, there was a quick blur that only I could detect because I've seen Bella move at vampire speed before.
She was putting the food in her napkin.
I chuckled under my breath. Bella heard me laugh and winked at me again, telling me she knew I understood.
We had a regular dinner, filled with eating and small talk. I think Bella enjoyed it as much as I did, which was a good thing!
When I came back after I used the restroom, my father had escaped to his office, like usual, but my mother and my Bella- I mean Bella! Not my Bella, I didn't own her- were situated on the couch. They were both giggling, which I knew was a bad sign.
"What's going on in here?" I asked, nervously. They both looked back, not answering me, but continuously giggling. I peaked over the couch and saw what was in their laps- photo albums.
I groaned, "Mom!" I cannot believe she would show Bella them! How embarrassing is that? I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks, which resulted in a blush.
"Hush, dear, I'm just showing Bella some old pictures…" my mom told me, smiling.
"You were such a cute kid!" Bella said while glancing at the pictures. She held up one. "This one is my favorite!" She laughed as I groaned again.
She held up the picture with me at my first birthday party. I was jamming a piece of chocolate cake in my mouth, and it got all over my face in the process.
"Thank you, Mom, so much for showing Bella that picture," I said sarcastically.
"You're welcome, Edward," my mom said, still laughing.
"I actually think it's time for Bella to get home, don't you think, Mom?" I asked, trying to avoid her seeing more photos.
"Right. Bella, it was charming to meet you, and I hope you'll pay a visit soon!" my mom said warmly. My mom also added, "Oh, and I'll be sure to make copies of some of the pictures for you!"
Bella laughed at this comment and nodded. "That would be great! Thank you for your hospitality, Elizabeth. I'll be sure to visit."
They smiled at each other.
"Yeah, I have to leave. I don't want my parents getting worried," Bella spoke while turning to the door. I thought her statement was strange for a vampire, but I realized that she had to keep up the human charade.
I walked her to her car which looked majestic compared to my shabby black car next to it.
Bella looked up at me and said, "Thank you for tonight. I had a lot of fun. It was nice seeing how you live."
I smiled, "Thank you for putting up with them." I glanced at my house.
Bella smiled, which was break taking, while saying, "I enjoyed their company. They were very nice."
"Yeah, I know that, but sometimes they can get a little annoying," I said, and then remembering the photo album, "and embarrassing."
"Don't worry, Edward, you were adorable!" Bella assured me while laughing.
"Were? Thanks, Bella," I teased her.
She playfully smacked my arm. "You know what I meant!" she accused me.
I nodded and teased her again, "You better get going; you don't want your parents to be worried." I winked.
Bella laughed. "Actually, I am going to go now. You need to get your rest for school tomorrow."
I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "Ew, school."
Bella laughed and said, "I hear you. See you tomorrow. Bye!" She gave me a quick peck on the lips.
"Bye, Bella." I said as she drove off. I was still recovering from the kiss, but I watched as the car zoomed away.
I went inside, and I saw my mother still on the couch with a photo album in her lap. When I smiled at her, she told me, "I like her. She's a keeper."
I laughed at her remark and traveled up the stairs to my room. I softly said, "I know."
Awhs! Who wants an Edward? I do!! Sigh, how I wish he was real…
Oh, and if you were wondering: the picture at the 1st birthday party with him stuffing the cake in his mouth? Yes, I got that from one of my baby pictures…
Anyway… Anyone want a day-update? If you can get to 325 it will happen!! Yay!
I think next chapter, I'm doing a time-skip (only a few months or so). And I already wrote it, so it's Bella's POV.
