Chapter 5: A Day of Fun (Bella's POV)
I awoke early the next morning. The sun was bright and shining, which was exactly how I felt. I smelled coffee and went downstairs. Rose was in the kitchen reading a magazine.
"Morning Rosie" I blurted. She looked at me suspiciously.
"Good Morning?, wait your not a morning person at all Bella, whats going on? Did you finally get laid or something?" She wanted an answer.
"No I didn't get laid, not that I wouldn't have minded though!"A huge grin spread across her face.
"Oh my God, you met someone, and on your own no less. So spill, all of it now!"
I recounted all of the events to Rosalie and she sat there silent thinking. All of a sudden she got up and hugged me.
"Oh Bella, I am so happy for you, I am just speechless, he sounds great, well he better be great or he will have to answer to me that's for sure."
I laughed a Rose. "Well the good news is that he lives somewhere in the Northwestern States, and I am moving back too, sooo maybe we can still see each other." Rose looked at me and got a serious face.
"I hope so too Bells, I don't want to see you hurt"
"Rosie, I will enjoy him while I can, and I wont keep any expectations."
"Speaking of the Northwest Bells I have some news for you, but don't freak out okay?"
I looked at Rosalie nervously and she was hesitating. She looked at me and frowned. Oh not not bad news I hate bad news. She had planned to stay with through the holidays, and now she was going to have to back out.
"Damn" I said to myself.
"I didn't even tell you and your already thinking its bad" she laughed."But seriously, I know that I planned to see you over the holidays, but something has come up and I am going to be moving, soooooooo, the plan will have to change." I looked at her and I felt tears starting to flow. I loved Rosalie and I didn't want to be apart from her forever.
"Oh Rosie, what happened, why, Oh you are one of my best friends and I don't want to lose you." She hugged me and laughed,
"You didn't let me finish Bells. I got the part for the movie, and it requires me to move to Seattle, so I was thinking we could live together, I was actually thinking of making it my permanent residence, what do you think?" I looked at her and shrieked.
"You get to live in Seattle, THATISSOFREAKINGREAT!" I hugged her and we fell laughing.
We sat and talked about our moving plans. I went to rinse my coffee cup when my cell phone rang. Rose ran and grabbed the phone she looked at the caller ID, smiled and answered.
"Bella's Tourist Service, Rose speaking, services from Bella are available for you anytime!!!" then she started laughing. I blushed, she was so embarrassing.
She was listening to something Edward said and replied."Really, maybe I could meet him someday then, she smiled and winked at me and handed me the phone.
"Good Morning Edward, now what could you have said to Rosalie to make her actually get quiet?"
He laughed and said that she was just like one of his older brother Em, because he would do the same things to him. I smiled and asked him what was on the agenda for the day.
"Well how about breakfast?" I agreed and told him that I would meet him at his hotel in an hour. I ran upstairs and showered quickly. I went into my closet and could not find a thing to wear, I cussed loudly. Rosie must have heard my ranting and came in with a blue top. She looked into my closet and pulled out a nice pair of blue jean shorts.
I got dressed and she handed me some pretty blue sandals. She pulled my hair into a loose ponytail and some hair fell around my face. "Perfect" she looked at me and smiled. I hugged her, grabbed my keys and purse and ran out the door.
I arrived at the hotel about 30 minutes later and walked inside. I saw a woman standing behind a long marble counter. She looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"Can I help you with something, you must be lost, because you don't belong in here?" She was snide and I was about to respond when someone said
"Oh, No, she was just the person I was looking for!" I knew that velvet voice anywhere. Edward. He enveloped me in a hug and kissed my forehead. I was dizzy from it but I hugged him back.
"So nice to see you again Bella, shall we go?" He pulled away from the hug and grabbed me by the hand. He looked at the girl behind the counter and smiled.
"Irina" he nodded his head in her direction.
As we walked out I looked back at her and she was fuming and I was happy. I threw up my middle finger with my free hand and walked away with my Edward. My Edward!!!!! When we got outside Edward started laughing.
"Did you just flip her the bird?'" I was embarrassed, but he was laughing.
"You are a feisty one aren't you!" I looked at him and said
"Well someone had to put her in her place, and it may as well have been me."
"Oh Bella, Im not upset I thought it was great. I would have done the same thing, I just didn't want to offend you." He looked at me and smiled.
"Lets eat, Im starved!!!"
We headed downtown and found a small café around the corner. We talked as we ate and I found out that he had 2 brothers that he referred to as J and Em. His Dad was a doctor and his mother was an Interior Decorator. I could tell how much he loved them.
When we finished we walked through Millenium Park again and we sat and watched the kids run in the water. Then I had a great idea.
"Why don't I take you to the Museum of Science and Industry, its my favorite, and it interactive, you can touch everything,"
"Sounds good to me Bella, lead on guide" I held out my hand to him and he laughed and took it.
We took the bus and Edward asked a million questions about it.
"Have you ever taken a public bus before, Edward?" He looked embarrassed,
"No I haven't, but its fun." There was an older gentlemen sitting in front of us and he turned around and looked at us. He smiled and looked and Edward and said,
"Young Love is wonderful, don't let her go my son, she is the one I can tell". And with that he winked. got up and walked off the bus. I was red, very red. I looked at Edward but he wasn't embarrassed at all. He just looked at me and smiled and squeezed my hand. Our stop had come and we crossed the street and entered the museum. Edward saw the huge locomotive train on our right and went to investigate it immediately. Apparently he loved trains and one of his favorite toys as a child was a train set that his real parents had bought him just before they had died. I didn't want him to feel sad, so I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the Coal Mine exhibit. As the elevator went down and the guide was talking to us, Edward whispered into my ear. " Thank You Bella! I looked up to him and smiled.
After the Coal Mine exhibit we wandered into the Whisper Room. I told Edward to go the other side and face away from me. I whispered.
"Edward can you hear me? He laughed, and it was loud.
"This is so cool Bella, I have never seen anything like this before!" I laughed
"I thought the same thing when I first came here too with Rosalie"
He got quiet all of a sudden and whispered
" Hey Bella, I think I like you, a lot" My heart jumped right out of my chest.
"I like you a lot too Edward"
"Good" he answered and before I knew it he was behind me and he wrapped his arms around me. I turned around and looked at him and he bent down and grazed his lips across mine. I looked at him and grabbed him by his hair and pulled his lips to mine. His lips were soft and warm and I didn't want to let go. I felt so many emotions at once. I felt my whole body get warm and a small part of me was leaping for joy, I pulled away and he held me. It all felt so right.
"Lets finish our tour of the museum shall we?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled.
"Certainly" he gave me one more quick kiss and grabbed my hand. Edward had to use the restroom and while I waited I ran to the gift shop and purchased a diecast train for Edward. A souvenir, then maybe he will remember me. I ran back just as he was walking out.
By the time we walked out of the museum it was starting to get dark. Had we been in there that long? Edwards phone rang and he answered
"J, my man are you here?" He listened and responded."Okay I'll meet up with you in a little while." He hung up the phone and looked at me and was sad. "Well my brothers just landed and said we needed to meet to discuss what the plan is for this trip. So they are going to meet me at the hotel, they are on their way now." I had to admit I was a little disappointed, but I wanted to have a strong front, beside it was his brothers, not some other woman.
"That's fine Edward, I would like to spend more time with you tomorrow if you can?"
"Are you kidding, that is exactly my plan. Apparently there are some set plans for Saturday, but before and after that its all about you and I spending time together." I was so relieved.
"Okay great lets you back to the hotel then."
We grabbed a cab as it would be a lot faster. When we pulled up in front Edward gave the driver some money and told him to get me home safely. He turned to me and cupped my face in his hands. "I will be seeing you tomorrow Bella, that's a promise", and with that he kissed me, it was a small feathery kiss, but it said a lot.
"Okay" was all I could respond. He laughed and got out of the cab. As we drove away it felt like a piece of me was gone. And I was both sad and happy at the same time.
