Hello everyone, thanks for baring with me. I've been trying to figure out the ratings, I think I have it now as for the ages of Bella and Edward, Bella is 20 (her second year at the university) and Edward is 27 (it's the start of his second year as a lecturer)
Hope this clears a few things up, please keep the feedback coming.
Happy Reading...
"Bella!" "psssttt" "Bella" I blinked quickly a couple of times and looked across to my friend, Jessica, I looked at her quizzically.
dward"what?" I whisper, then I realise. No… Please no, it can't be. I looked over to Edward and yes it was true, I had day dreamed the entire thing. Not one single thing of that was real. Damn it! I so wanted it to be the case. To have him that close to me, the heat fierce between us. I just kept looking, staring hoping to see something. But I did not see anything. He just looked over me like I was nothing there, like I didn't even exist on his radar. But then I'm sure we've all had situations like that.
"Right then I think we'll leave it there for today, we're going to pick this up again next week" Edward spoke to the class. Getting myself back into the room I got myself up from the chair and slowly started packing my things away, but being in a daze from that day dream I did not see that I was the only one left in the room. Other than Edward that is.
"How'd you find today's lecture? I saw you just a minute ago, seemed I bored you into a day dream." Oh my, this was something else, this was like the day dream. I gasped a little in shock at the similarity and turned hesitantly to face him. Looking down both shy and embarrassed I started to speak.
"It was a good lecture, I've just has something on my mind that's all, I do quite enjoy Shakespeare though." I reassured him that he wasn't boring and it's true I did have something, more like someone, on my mind and it was totally inappropriate for me to tell him, especially as it involved him and being near him. A smirk crept its way onto my face, bugger. He looked at me with curiosity in his eyes, those deep brown chocolate pools he calls eyes. Right stop it. I hastily grabbed my remaining things and headed towards the door, not allowing him to say anymore.
Just as I walked pasted the last chair in that row my body started to tumble towards the floor, my bag has already hit it and I was next. Thump!
"Oh shit, are you okay?" He came walking towards me, not slow but not a run either, it's difficult to describe. I sat up onto my knees and rubbed my sore hands, I looked up with the idea of getting up but as I did so my eyes were met with his. In shock, I quickly got up almost hitting his head with mine.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I…err…should be heading to the bus, you've probably got another lecture to teach." I had almost reached the door when he next spoke.
"Actually, I haven't and I really want to make sure that you are okay, I mean you did fall on my watch." His words just rolled of his tongue like silk caressing my skin, he could talk for days and I would not get bored. I showed him the palms of my hands and told him I was fine, he hesitantly nodded his head and we both left the classroom behind, both heading for the lift and both getting into the same lift.
"Bella, do you mind pressing two. I sort of have my hands full" I looked down at his hands and it was safe to say he had half a rainforest in his hands. I hadn't noticed until now. Then again, I was trying to avoid looking at him so I wouldn't blush or do something overly silly. I pressed two then zero, the floor I was getting off at, the last chance of that day I had to do or even say something to him. Taking in a deep breath I muttered the words
"would you like me to help you back with those?" A timid smile spread across my face and I looked up at Edward and he had returned the smile it was as if he was waiting for me to offer. No words were spoken between us instead he handed me a few papers as we exited the lift. This was way better than that day dream.
