Okay guys! I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in so long!
My excuse? I had writers block :P and I had lot's of coursework due, so I was busy doing that.
I have some exams coming up, so you might not get any updates for a while after this.
Again, I AM SO SO SORRY.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
I'll make it up to you guys somehow. Promise :)
Surprises
I sighed. This wasn't a good day to begin with, but it had gotten even worse. After I had the most horrible day at day, I come home and find my dad back from his gym early. All I had wanted to do was to get upstairs and to stay in bed all day. But no, that wasn't what had been planned for me.
My dad had wanted to get me trained for the gymnastics meet that was coming up. Dad wanted me to learn a new vault, it wasn't really that hard I guess, but it was frustrating. The girls that I trained with now could barely do half the skills I could and yet I had to learn new things?
My dad had just left me in my 'secret' room telling to me just keep practicing the new vault. I pulled at my leotard in frustration. This vault was supposed to be easy, but I could not stick it. I sighed. I was going to stay here and practice until I stuck it to please my dad, and I hoped that I would be able to stick it soon.
I ran up to the vault rounded off onto the springboard, half twisted onto the vault, pushed off and did a twisting double layout. I groaned as I took steps back trying to gain balance and ending up landing on my bum. I went back to the starting point to try again. I don't know if I was too nervous or if I just hadn't vaulted in such a long time but I ended up crashing into the vaulting horse. I managed to somehow get over the horse and land on the mat. The position I landed it wasn't very good though. I landed with my right foot sideways. I moaned as I realized that I had twisted my ankle.
There was really nothing I could do but to tape it up and stop practicing. Yes, this day was getting so much better.

I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a cold presence in the room. I lifted the covers of my face so I could see what was going on. I gasped loudly when I saw who had dropped in for an unexpected visit.
'Bella, did I awake you?' Edward said, his eyes trained on me with no emotion on his face. He looked so cold.
I sat up and ran my fingers through my messy hair, 'What the heck are you doing here at this time of night. How did you get it?'
'I came to see you.'
I rolled my eyes, 'No way, I thought you came here to admire my books,' I nodded at my copy of 'A Little Princess' in his hands.
'Oh,' Edward replaced the book in my bookcase with a smile, 'I like classics.'
I nodded, waiting for him to state why he came.
'I'm sorry I wasn't at school today. I know that you wanted to talk to me. I also know what you're going to say,' He kept talking without giving me a chance to have some input in this conversation, 'Bella, I want to have a relationship with you as well, and I know you think you understand about my complications. I wish I could tell you what's different about me and my family, but I really can't, it's a private family secret, you know? If you are willing to overlook these secrets…how would you like to be my girlfriend?'
I was speechless, 'I…I… Edward,' I paused for a second to recompose myself. Then I smiled and said, 'Why Edward, I would love to be your girlfriend.'
Edward smiled a genuine smile and walked towards my bed, 'I love you Bella, I really do.'
'I love you too Edward,' I breathed.
Edward sat down on my bed and stroked my hair carefully. He put his arm around me. I smiled; I liked the way his cold arm felt against my skin. We stayed like that for quiet a while, just smiling and looking into each others eyes. And somewhere in between those smiles, I fell asleep. My day had improved … drastically.
- - -
That night, I slept soundly. It was another night of me dreaming of Edward Cullen. And this time, he was lying in my bed, right next to me.
I had stopped wondering about his complications and everything. I knew that he really couldn't possibly reveal them to me. I'm glad we could work everything out.
[A/N] This is the end of one mini-chapter. I think the chapter is good the way it is, but I know it's short and I haven't updated in ages. So I'm going to write another mini-chapter sort of thing. Yeah. :)
And I'm not bothered to think of another title. So. Whatever :S
Enjoy! :D
It was the weekend. It had only been a week since I had arrived in Forks, yet so many things have happened. I woke up on a rainy Sunday morning. I ran my fingers through my hair and smiled. I looked to my right. I saw the gorgeous golden eyes of his looking into mine, 'Good morning Bella.'
Edward had been spending his nights here ever since we starting to date. I didn't know how his parents would let him sleep away from home every night, but Edward told me that his parents didn't mind at all, and I was in no position to argue with him. Having Edward stay over at night was lovely, and, no, before you ask, we hadn't done it yet. I don't think that I would be ready to do it and feeling Edward's presence next to me as I sleep, looking over me was heaven for me.
Sighing, I turned to Edward, 'My parents are going to wake up soon.'
Edward smiled at me lovingly and kissed me on my forehead, 'I'll go now.'
Edward had this way of disappearing out of my house without anyone seeing. It was almost as if he had magic powers of some sort. I had asked him about how he does it before, but all he had said was 'I have my ways.' Edward was really a Mr. Mysterious, but I liked him the way he was. I watched sadly as Edward walked out of my room.
I sighed and walked over to my desk. I sat down, picked up a pencil, plugging myself into my ipod. As music blasted into my ears, I started to work on all my homework for next week.
Surprisingly my phone rang, I glanced at the screen to see that it was Emma calling. Smiling, I picked up, 'Emma! You're up early!' I exclaimed.
Emma giggled, 'I know you wake up at seven everyday, even during the weekend. I wanted to talk to you!'
'What about?' I put down my pencil and walked towards my window. I looked across the street to see Emma's bedroom window, 'I can see you by the way,' narrowing my eyes, I saw that Emma was changing. Her phone was probably on speaker.
'Emma!'
'Mmhnn, yeah?' I heard her muffled voice.
'You should seriously put down your curtains when you change. Everyone from my side of the street can see you!'
'Oh damn. Okay, okay.'
I watched in amusement as Emma walked towards her window in her bra and pulled the curtains down. 'There we go… happy now?' Emma asked.
'Yup,' After a pause, I continued, 'Why did you call me again?'
'Oh. Do you want to go out tonight?'
'Again?' I said in surprise. Emma and I had been out on Saturday night and Friday night, shopping and hanging out. I wasn't really in the mood to go again tonight. And the gym meet was coming up so I wanted to practice some moves.
'Oh Emma. I really can't. I want to practice some gym moves tonight.'
'Oh!' Emma squealed, 'Where are you going to practice? I want to try some things out as well!'
I bit my lip and considered my opinions. While I didn't want reveal my secret room to anyone, I was sure I could trust Emma. And I didn't want Emma to keep pestering me on teaching her moves and to spend time with her.
'Alright. You can come. I have my own training space at home. You could come over anytime today, I'll be home. I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind if you came over. And if my dad isn't busy, he could teach you a thing or two.'
'Wow Bella, that sounds amazingly fun! I'm definitely in. I'll come over sometime this afternoon. I'm baking cookies with my sister this morning, would you like me to bring some over for you?'
'Sure,' I was always up for a little snack, 'See you later then.'
'See you Bella! I love you.'
I smiled, 'I love you too Emma. Later.'
I hung up and put my phone down. I heard my parents downstairs making breakfast. I changed into some more presentable clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.
