"No, but let's go." She replied with a soft, musical giggle. I laughed along with her and together we walked up the stairs to my front door.
Chapter 18:
BPOV
"Ready?" Edward asked me, his soft velvet voice was like heaven to me.
This was going to be interesting, I've been his girlfriend for what? 2 minutes and now I'm meeting his family. Alice was nice enough, so I'm really hoping the rest of the family is as welcoming as her.
"No, but let's go." I told him with a small giggle, he chuckled along with me and the sound of his laughter was even better than his voice, if a sound could ever be better than his velvet, musical voice that I loved so much.
As we took each step towards the door, I got more and more nervous. Edward sensed this and whispered into my ear, "It's ok. I'm right here with you." Then he kissed my cheek and squeezed my hand. That one sentence was enough to reassure me.
My cheek was still tingling in the spot where Edward had kissed me when he opened the front door.
"Bella!" Alice squealed when she saw me in Edward's arms. How did she get home so quickly? Never mind…
"Hello Alice." I replied, my voice a little shaky. She ran over and gave me a hug.
Next thing I know Alice had let go and I was face to face with six inhumanly beautiful people. Edward squeezed my hand and introduced me to them.
"Bella, this is my mother, Esme, my father, Carlisle, my brother, Emmett, and you already know Alice. Then we have, Jasper, Alice's partner and Rosalie, who is Emmett's fiancé. Jasper and Rosalie are twins." They each gave me a hug and welcomed me to the family.
Esme was lovely, she had a beautiful heart shaped face and lovely burgundy hair. Carlisle was blonde, tall and looked way too young to have children who were already in their twenty's.
Emmett was tall, muscular and had short, dark hair. He was extremely scary but when he spoke it was all fun and games. He was a giant teddy bear. Rosalie was tall, blonde and was the most beautiful woman I had even seen. She was one of those people that made you self conscious by just standing the same room as you.
Alice was pixy-like and thin to the extreme. Her hair was short, dark and spiking out in every direction, and her partner Jasper had honey blonde hair, tall, not muscular but more toned and was very friendly.
After I had met everybody Edward took my hand and we walked up to his room on the third story of their massive 3 story home.
"They like you you know." he said to me as we sat down on his black leather sofa.
"Really?" I asked feeling a little self conscious and worried.
"Really." he told me. "So…What would you like to do?" he asked.
"Um…I don't know. It's getting kind of late I should probably head home." I said to him reluctantly.
"Oh, ok. I'll drive you." He answered.
On the way back to my house I was thinking very hard about what I was going to say to my dad. He only just found out about Jacob and I and now I was going to tell him I was going out with his doctor. Edward noticed my concentration and released my hand from the death grip I had on the seat of his Volvo.
"Sorry."
"What's wrong love?"
"Nothing." I replied.
"Bella, please tell me. I don't like seeing you worried." he told me. I felt my cheek flush as I blushed just 1 of my hundreds of shades of red.
"I just don't know what I'm going to tell my dad. I mean he just found out yesterday that Jacob and I are together and now I'm going to tell him that Jacob broke up with me and now… guess what dad? I'm dating your doc-." I was cut off as he silenced me with a kiss.
How good it felt to have his lips against mine. How natural this felt to be with him this way.
