So here's chappie 8. I was wondering does anyone want lemons in this story? Because i might be able to make that happen lol.
Enjoy!
I wasn't hungry… So I decided to skip breakfast and head straight to Edwards house. Worried thoughts swam around in my mind however. Should I call for him or should I wait that he comes here? Is he even home? I shook my head and reminded myself that he promised to see me again today. I took a deep breath and told myself to suck it up, I would simply go and nock at his door and hope that he would answer.
I made a final stop in front of a mirror, I fixed my hair and made sure I looked decent and then slowly made my way to Edwards's house.
I walked up the stone steps and very quietly knocked on the door. I nervously fidgeted with a stray strand of hair as I waited for an answer.
I realized that I must not have made a very loud sound so I took a deep breath and knocked harder.
A blond, handsome young man answered momentarily, he cocked an eyebrow when he saw me.
"Um…Hi?" he said; more like a question than a greeting. I feared I had gotten the houses mixed up.
"Good day, I'm looking for Mr. Edward Cullen…" I said brightly.
"Oh. Right…" he looked back into the house, "Edward! Someone's here for you!" I was slightly taken aback. But it passed as I saw angelic Edward emerge. He pushed the tall young man out of the way.
"Bella!" He smiled a dazzling crooked smile that winded me; he then took my hand and courteously kissed it, leaving a pleasant tingling sensation where his lips had made contact.
I blushed, "Nice to see you again Edward."
We stood there both gazing at each other, his liquid green eyes were positively mesmerizing, I wanted to reach out and touch his beautiful face. The lanky boy coughed breaking us away from each other.
Edward looked slightly flustered, "Bella, this is Jasper, my very good friend."
"Nice to meet you Jasper," I curtsied. (My manners were in full swing today) He smiled, not very enthusiastically might I add.
"Jazz, can you leave us alone for a minute?" Edward asked, Jasper obliged and slowly made his way back into the house. Once he was out of ear reach Edward spoke,
"Sorry about him…He can't stand when Alice is away."
"I see," a thought crossed my mind at that moment, how was it that Edward and Jasper were both at home while everyone else was out working?
"Edward?"
"Yes?"
"Why aren't you at work?"
He laughed, amused, that made me grin stupidly in return "Well, Jasper and I are students at the university of New York… But seeing as it is summer and we decided to take winter courses we're here… Sometimes we work, but only when we really need the money,"
"Don't you need money to school?"
"Well Jasper has a scholarship in sciences…And I… have one in music."
"In music? I didn't know you were musical. What do you play?"
He chuckled, "I play the erm…Piano." He ran a hand through his tousled bronze hair, was he embarrassed?
"Really?" I was in aw, honestly I was. Some girls liked men who could hunt, some girls liked sailors. I was the type of girl who liked intellectual men, men who could play music, men who could read, appreciate and understand literature. Men exactly like Edward.
He studied my face a moment, and playfully scrunched up his nose, as though he was concentrating very hard on something.
"What are you thinking?" he asked.
I giggled, "Nothing."
His playful expression became a very, permit me to say, sexy pout. Although I knew this was for the sole purpose of my telling him what I was thinking, his perfect lower lip invited me in. With very much effort I resisted the temptation to kiss him, right there, right then. I wouldn't have wanted to look too bold especially with Jasper being nearly within earshot.
"I was just thinking, how incredibly amazing it is…that you play the piano, I mean… and the fact that you got a scholarship…is just…Wow."
He chuckled again, "Bella, you're too much…"
He suddenly looked slightly confused as though he was contemplating something. When he finally spoke, I knew why.
"Would you like to come inside?" he asked very cautiously.
I bit my lip and felt my face heat up before I answered "Sure," I said smiling uncertainly, I was taught to never enter a boys home if his parents were not present… Well since I'm already in loads of trouble, I thought to myself, I might as well go for it, what's the worse that can happen? With that in mindI linked my arm to Edwards and he escorted me in.
The house was precisely like Alice's had been, simple yet charming in a cozy welcoming way. We went directly into the kitchen, which was right down the hall from the entrance. Jasper was sitting at the small round table; he seemed very absorbed in writing something.
"Hi again," I tried, he didn't look up.
"Jasper!" Edward's tone was menacing, Jasper's head shot up, his expression full of annoyance,
"Hello, again," he muttered.
"Jasper, this is Alice's best friend, I don't think that it's wise to be rude." Something changed in the way Jasper sat, his eyes brightened.
"Oh! OH! You're the Bella, well I'm so sorry!" he said, "And it's very nice to meet you!" he added seconds later.
Edward chuckled quietly beside me, then leaned in to whisper in my ear,
"Would you like to see the rest of the house?"
Again I nodded, but blushed immediately afterwards.
He looked concerned, "I don't want you to feel uncomfortable Bella… If you want we could just go for a walk or for breakfast, are you hungry?"
My stomach growled I nodded sheepishly. That made him chuckle. I couldn't help but grin back; he had a way of making my heart do about eight triple flips with one smile or laugh.
"Jazz!" he called from the entry way, never taking his eyes off mine, "I'm taking Bella to lunch."
I loved the way he said that. Almost as though he was courting me, "or taking me out on a date" as people were beginning to say these days…
Jasper just grunted very audibly, obviously still absorbed in his work. Edward took my hand gently and led me out the door.
He led me through the park where we had kissed the night before. My mind wondered, remembering the sweet memory.
The park was simply lovely in the daylight. A thin, bright canopy of leaves let in streams of light here and there. I could hear birds singing pretty love songs to one and other. I stopped walking abruptly at a patch of sunlight, feeling the heat again my face.
Edward paused too; I could feel his eyes on me as I tilted back my head soaking in the warmth. We stayed there for a moment, not moving, just enjoying the moment. It was so peaceful, the birds, the trickling water coming from a water fountain, the distant sounds of the street traffic… It was so perfect, all the sounds blending together in harmony.
I opened my eyes and he was standing right in front of me; his eyes simply smoldering. It took my breath away. He was smiling slightly, an expression on his face that I couldn't read.
He took my hands in his, still looking at me. His touch made my heart pound, made my lips itch for his. He carefully gently raised my arms around his neck, and leaned in to press his lips gently to mine. I responded immediately, parting my lips, allowing his tong to dance with mine. I intertwined my hands in his soft hair pulling him closer to me.
He broke away, and kissed my jaw line up to my ear, "wow," he whispered.
"Wow." I agreed giggling.
With a finale kiss on my lips, he took my hand again and we made our way to the small café for breakfast.
