Chapter 3

Oh. My. God! Wait… why am I so excited? I mean yeah, sure I am going over to the Edward Cullen's house, but seriously, I only discovered that I liked him like basically 3 seconds ago. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.

The phone rang, interrupting my thoughts.

It was Angela.

"So, what are you going wear this avo? Angela asked? Hello to you to Ang!

"Umm.. I haven't really thought about that much? I said it like it was a question.

"Maybe my skinnys, red tank top and black converse? With minimum make-up?" I continued.

"Yeah, sounds good. Good idea to go au-natural for the first 'study session'"

"Angela! You know that we are only going to be studying!"

"Mmm-Hmm" she didn't believe me!

"Seriously though Ang, it's not as though he thinks of me that way anyway!"

"Of course he thinks of you in that way!"

Wait, backtrack. Me? Plain, old Bella. As if! Edward Cullen could have anyone he wanted! Why choose me?

"Why do you think that Ang" I tried to humour he by playing along.

"Seriously Bella, do you think he would have forgiven you so fast if he didn't?"

"Umm…" She did have a point…

"No way Angela, he was just being polite."

"Whatever you say Bella" she just let it drop, knowing that she wouldn't be able to convince me, no matter how hard she tried.

We just chatted on about nothing until I looked at the clock.

"Shit! I'm going to be late to Edwards's house!"

"Oh! OK, cya Bella. Good Luck!"

"I'm going to need it" I mumbled as I hung up the phone.

I quickly got ready and glanced at myself in the mirror as I rushed out the door.

I didn't look half bad. That was a surprise.

Too quickly I was pulling up to the beautiful white mansion that was the Cullen's humble abode. My truck groaned in protest as a turned off the engine.

I walked up to the front door and, with a shaky hand, rung the doorbell.

Edward answered the door.

"Hey Bella, you look great!" he said super casually, his voice like velvet. How had I never noticed that before? Snap out of it Bella!

"Thanks" I hoped I didn't sound as nervous as I felt.

He just chuckled, and beckoned me inside.

I should have known that the inside of the house would be even more beautiful than the outside. It was just so, open and inviting.

Edward led me through to the kitchen.

"Would you like something to eat?" he asked, "We have gourmet chocolate cookies, tantalising corn chips, mouth-watering lemonade and refreshing water"

I couldn't help but laugh and Edward laughed along with me.

We were just recovering when Edward's mum walked in.

I blushed a little and she laughed softly.

So many people were laughing at me today! Maybe I should become a comedian.

"You must be Bella" she said simply.

"Yes. Thankyou for having me Mrs Cullen"

"Oh please, it's such a pleasure to finally meet the girl we've been hearing so much about and please, call me Esme" this time it was Edward's turn to blush. Maybe Angela was right.

"You have a beautiful home" I complimented sincerely.

"Thankyou Bella"

Esme glanced over at Edward was looked like he was counting down the seconds until his mother left.

"Well Bella, it's been lovely meeting you but I'd better get out of your hair and let you get on with your study"

A flash of relief crossed Edward's face as Esme retreated.

We stood around awkwardly for a while.

I decided to break the silence.

"Sir, I think I'm ready to order now" I hoped Edward would realise what I was doing.

He did.

"Yes Miss and what would that order be?" he asked, playing along.

"That would be the tantalising chocolate cookies and the mouth-watering lemonade"

"Oh, you mean the gourmet chocolate cookies and the mouth-watering lemonade?"

"Oh yes, do forgive me" I restrained a giggle.

"That's quite alright Miss, your order will be ready presently"

We both laughed again.

It was like we had been friends for days not 24 hours!

Edward got our afternoon tea and we headed upstairs.

I knew that whatever this study session held, it had to be good. I was already beginning to see glimpses of a more carefree Bella that I thought was long gone.
