Heyyy guys! Here's a new chapter!
Previously: "So Bella, I have to tell you something."
"Yeah?"
"You know Tanya?"
"Yeah," she said again, "What about her?"
"I broke up with her. And I was wondering, if now that I wouldn't be cheating on anyone…………….would you like to go out with me?"
Bella's POV:
I just stared at him, "Wh-what?"
He stared back and then said, "I broke up with Tanya so that you wouldn't feel I was cheating on anyone. So then I asked if you want to go out with me."
Yes. I thought but the words that came out of my mouth were much different. "N-no."
"Why not? I thought we had really cliqued the past day or two." He said looking confused.
"I'm sorry Edward, but how am I suppose to trust you? I know you broke up with your girlfriend, but what happens when you find someone else? I'm probably going to end up like Tanya. Plus, I just had the brake up with Jake and I can't have someone do that to me again." I said then started upstairs, but about halfway up them I looked back and added, "But I would love to be friends." And I really would. Edward seems good friend material, but I'm not so sure about boyfriend material. I'll just have to wait and see what the future has in store for me.
Edward POV:
Friends, friends, friends, friends………… I have enough friends! I want Bella as a girlfriend not just a friend! I mean I broke up with my girlfriend for her! I'll just have to do more, show her how much I'm ready for a steady relationship. I have to prove it to her! I'll be her friend for now, but I am determined to get this girl to like me the way I like her. I have never felt so strongly for a girl as I do for her.
As the rest of the week past I have slowly admitted to myself that I am in love with Bella Swan. I would watch her talk to Mike Newton and become extremely jealous. Not only Mike, but any guy that took a look at her. I don't think she's noticed, but practically all the guys look at her as she walks by. We have been hanging out at home a lot, but only as friends. I've been thinking about ways to prove to her that I'm not going to do anything to her as did her ex. I have tried getting Alice to convince her, but Alice refuses to, not even believing me. Rose as well, and Emmett wont because Rose will tell him not to, and being the guy he is, he'll listen.
It was Friday night when I finally got an idea that I liked. I was lying on my un-made bed staring at the ceiling. My room was a mess, and I was supposed to be cleaning it but I decided to do that later. I had magazine's all my desk and clothes scattered on the floor. But I didn't really care about all that, all I cared about was winning Bella's heart.
My plan was simple, I'd tell her for an assignment for………..English class, I have to interview a person from my house. I'd interview her and find out her favorite things. Then either tomorrow or Sunday, I'd put something extravagant together for her. I don't know what yet, but it has to be great!
I went downstairs with a notepad and pen in hand and noticed she was watching T.V. Okay good; she's not doing anything important so I'll be able to get her to answer questions for my "interview."
"Hey Bella?" I said as I got closer to her.
She jumped—startled, "Oh, hey, Edward. Sorry, I didn't hear you coming. You're so quiet!" she said and then laughed. "Do you need something?" she asked me.
I sat down next to her on the couch and grabbed a pillow and positioned it under my arm. "Actually yeah, for my English class we have to interview someone in our house. Can I interview you?" I asked her lying smoothly.
"Sure thing!" she replied, "What kind of questions are there?"
"Well, you'll find out in a minute." I said, and then began asking questions, "What is your favorite color?"
"Blue."
"Okay, I know you have a lot of favorite bands, but which band is your first favorite?" I asked.
"Ummm, I'd have to say Secondhand Serenade."
"What is your favorite song by them? And then what is your favorite song in general?"
"Okay, um, well my favorite song by them is Maybe and my favorite song in general is I'm Yours by Jason Mraz." Perfect! I know exactly what to do with both those songs!
I laughed, "The song I had to sing in the car that day."
She then blushed before saying, "That's not why it's my favorite song. I liked it before I even knew you."
"I know. Just thought that was funny. Anyways what is your favorite food?"
"Mushroom ravioli." She said. She had now stopped blushing. She then said, "How does this have anything to do with English?"
I didn't know what to say now, so I just had to wing it, "I have no idea! The teacher told us to ask these questions and that we would be doing something with them in class on Monday." I lied once again, but it's not like this lie was bad, I'm trying to do something for her. And thankfully she believed every word of it.
"Okay. Teachers are really weird sometimes." She laughed, "Any more questions?"
"Yes! So, we must continue. Favorite desert?"
"Hmm, chocolate cake!" she then laughed and added, "With vanilla ice cream!"
I laughed along with her, "You can't forget the ice cream! What is your favorite kind of flower?"
"I like freesias. But not just one color, I like when there are a bunch of different colors in a bouquet. Like whites, blues, and purples." She said as I nodded.
"Would you ever like to play an instrument?" I asked pretty much knowing her answer, but just double checking.
"Not really, but I would still love to hear you play piano. You never did play for me." She said with a fake pout at the end.
"I promise I will," I said then added, "Sometime very soon."
"Thank-you." She said with a smile. "I'm looking forward to it." I just smiled back. I asked a few more random questions and when Bella decided to go to her room I went to find Alice. Once I explained to her my plan I asked her to help me.
"Come on Alice! Can you seriously think I'd put all this together if I was going to dump her in a week?" I asked.
She thought about it then said, "I see your point. What am I suppose to do?"
"Just take her out tomorrow, shopping or something, but make it an all-day thing. So I can put together my plan. Oh and no one is aloud in the backyard tomorrow, make sure you tell everyone that. Well except Bella of course." Alice perked up even more at the word shopping.
"Fine, I'll do it. On one condition." She said with an evil grin.
I sighed, "What's the condition?"
"If Bella does decide to trust you after this and you hurt her, I have full permission to make your life a living hell." She said, now with a bitter-sweet smile.
"Fine." I said.
"Repeat after me. Okay?" she said.
I sighed again; this was getting old, "Okay."
"I Edward."
"I Edward." I repeated.
"Promise to."
"Promise to." I repeated, just get to the chase Alice, I thought
"Give Alice full permission."
"Give Alice full permission." I repeated, again getting old.
"To make my life a living hell if I shall ever hurt Bella."
"To make my life a living hell if I shall hurt ever Bella," I said and then added, "You done now?"
"Yup, I'm done. You must really like her, I mean you know what its like to be on my bad side, and your giving me permission to show you my bad side if you screw up! But anyways I'll take Bella shopping all day tomorrow, what time will you need her home?" Alice asked.
"Don't have her home any earlier than 7, and if by some crazy chance she makes you come home early, make sure she goes straight to her room or your room, or something upstairs. Also, don't go out for dinner."
"Okay, okay. So have her home at around 7:15 I'll say, no dinner, and if she makes us come home then go straight upstairs!" she said.
"Correct!"
"Ay-aye captain." She then put her hand to her head as if she was saluting me. I just rolled my eyes. She then said, "Well if I have to get up early to go shopping, I'm going to have to get a good night's sleep. So nighty-night Edward! Don't let the bed bugs bite!" she started to her room but then turned around and said, "Oh and by the way, good luck with Bella. I have a feeling you guys will work out!"
I laughed, "Thanks Alice. Night."
After she went to bed, I got some water and went upstairs to my room. Right before I went to bed, I imagined what exactly I will do tomorrow. I mean, I didn't have much time to plan it out, but hopefully Alice is right about Bella and I working out. I can sure see it.
