The first happenings between the boy and a Vampire. If only it were the last.
Don't own twilight.
Edward POV
Alice said he would talk to her tonight and I could not stop myself from feeling proud of myself. This Brian Evans was one of the few gems within this school. Of course my negative biased opinion made anyone who didn't acccept Nessie with open arms little more than a scrap of mud on my shoe.
Brian stayed away from us like any other human would but I noticed he knew our names and every once and a while he would think about us. Sometimes in ways that worried me, sometimes with envy for our solitude, and more times than not our impeccable, as he put it, choice of cars. My opinion was already rather high of him but it only improved today.
I had been whispering in Bella's ear when she suddenly ran into someone. I cursed myself for both my ability to dazzle her and to be dazzled. Her scent was enough to captivate my mind, but now that this boy was looking up from the floor my mind spun into overdrive. Bella did her best attempt at a feint and fell into my arms easily. To slow however he had seen the hesitation. Surprisingly quick reflexes for someone who just ran into someone I thought trying to keep control of the negative feelings that were buildings as this human criticized the possibilities of a girl knocking him down so easily. Then his thoughts took an unexpected turn. They ran through everything he knew about my Bella with complete objectivity.
"I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going," he said in all sincerity not stopping to pick himself up before trying to gather Bellas things. I felt the protective side of me ease slightly as I saw how jumbled his mind was. I had heard he and the girl whom had been sneaking peeks at him all year had finally gotten together but he was putting himself through the wringer just trying to figure everything out. I felt a bit of sympathy for him when this thoughts about his sister came into play as I could see a lot of Alice in her. I reached down and picked up the last of the two books and when he tried to hand them back to Bella I capitalized on the chance and took them.
I can't get paper cuts anymore you know Edward. My heart said in her mind a little testily. The pure euphoria that was Isabella Cullen's mind filled me for a brief second before she laughed low enough the humans wouldn't hear as she shut her mind to me once more.
"No no it was my fault. I have no excuses for not paying attention to my surroundings," Bella said sweetly and it was hard for me to correct the frown that always followed when I was separated from her beautiful thoughts.
Expecting a hurried good bye I was surprised when he looked at us in a new light. He had always seen us as people but now he saw us as good people. He even thought we made a good couple which proved his judgment was dead on. Then the scary thoughts came. He focused on our eyes knowing they were not normal and then played with what our eyes and a super strong girl smaller than him could mean. I tensed focusing on his mind and he noticed that to. Just when I was beginning to think we would have to leave and start over his thought just fell away. It was replaced by a innocent assumption that Bella just didn't want him to feel bad for being taken down by a girl. He shrugged it off as easily as the thought came and I relaxed immediately.
"You sisters Violin solo was awesome Edward," Brian said with his hand behind his head with a slight smile. I searched his thoughts as he tried to remember but he really did remember that he loved the solo. His mind was just so congested with thoughts about basketball and his brooding obsession with Melissa Roberts he didn't have much more room to think.
"You should tell her yourself," I said trying to keep emotion from my words, "It seems she doesn't fit in very well in this school." He immediately agreed mentally and felt bad but went as far as to accuse me of this. Of course he didn't say anything out loud, he was to polite for that, but when his head went through the evidence I had a hard time disagreeing and sighed in defeat. She was my little girl though and as Jacob Black had already found a place in her heart I refused to deal with any other boys.
Brians thoughts told me he had taken the sigh as annoyance and he quickly apologized.
"Oh ah sorry for bumping into you Bella and for taking up your time. I'll try to tell Renesmee like you said," he said in a very submissive way making eye contact with me and Bella laughed.
You are such a silly daddy she let slip before the wall went up again. I held back a grunt when my mind was hit with a strangely familiar barrage of thoughts that just barely fit into my vampire brain. They reminded me so strongly of my first year with Bella I barely held back a snicker. I had not been able to comprehend the feelings she was provoking from me for a good long time and I could tell his human brain was already overloading.
"Oh ah sorry," he said still a bit dazed and I could only nod fully understanding his position. Bella giggled softly before the minute bell rang and he departed with a quick "Uh oh gotta go."
We leisurely walked towards our next class with a smile on my face.
"Whats so funny," Bella asked giving me a perfectly stunning smile. I shook my head a bit my smile never leaving.
"He just reminds me of myself when I first met you," I said wistfully.
"He loves her than?" she asked quietly with her own smile.
"Truly, but he wants to do something for Nessie now. I don't know how that's going to sit. I think I'm going to push things a little to make sure it turns out well," I said happily and Bella only leaned into me more with a kind smile.
