Hello hello! The last chapter i'll be updating today. Happy reading...
School ended. Will walked me and Ness to the parking lot.
His eyes fell on the huge crowd and he leaned towards me whispering, "Ooo, I see that all your siblings are here. So, shall we?"
He's really serious about the whole competition thing.
"Hi guys!" Will waved while running towards them excitedly. "Elbert, Olivia told me that you have the sexiest crooked smile. So can we have a little competition and all the Cullens will be the judge?"
"She told you that? Well its not the sexiest, someone has already gotten that title." He tilted his head towards me and winked.
Thankfully Will never saw that.
"Well, I suppose we can. So does it take place here? Now?" Elbert turned back to Will.
"Yes, right now." Will smiled.
"Hold on a second. What will the winner get? Without a winning prize, a competition is nothing." Emmett asked.
"I know! But I will reveal it later, after the competition." Alice beamed.
When it comes to competitions, these two vampires are so predictable.
Both of them displayed their smiles without any difficulties. Then voting began.
Rosalie, Emmett and I voted for Edward. However, Ness, Bella, Alice and Jasper voted for Will. I knew Will was going to win this competition. Hah!
Edward oh Edward, didn't I tell you Bella would say that Will's crooked smile is better than yours? See, even your daughter betrayed you.
I saw Ness mouthed, 'Sorry Dad' innocently.
Alice jumped in delight, though I knew she'd seen this. "I shall present you the winner of the best crooked smile, William Eastwood. As usual, winner always gets a prize right? This time, the prize would be Olivia's first kiss!"
I glared at her, what did she just say?
"Little girl, she meant that you need to kiss Will." Edward tapped my shoulders.
"No!" I made a furious face.
Will knew I didn't like this so he soothed things off, "Oh I don't need a prize. This is more like a voting than competition."
"No, no, no. This IS a competition, and you WILL get your prize." Alice insisted.
"A- Mary, I WILL give him HIS prize when the time comes." I stuck my tongue out at Alice.
Hah, her plan didn't work out after all.
"Don't worry, you will get your prize, soon, very soon." Edward cheered Will up, though I didn't think he needed any. "Do you want to come over to our house later?"
Ugh, so Edward thinks that by making us see each other the whole time, we would end up as couples in less than a week. Boy was he wrong for I have got determination stronger than this
"Sure, buddy." Will told Edward.
Whatever, I didn't care. In the house, we were all playing in the living hall. But, Emmett ruined my day.
He took out his videos and announced, "Let's have a video marathon."
I thought he was going to show those videos which he attempted to send to "World's Most Amazing Videos". However, he didn't get to do so because Carlisle pointed out that their identity might be exposed and the Volturi would hunt them down.
Speaking of the Volturi, whenever I tried to asked them more about it, they just shrugged it off, a mixture of annoyance and fear on their faces. Judging from their facial expressions, I knew they weren't too keen on revealing much about the 'Royal Vampires' to me and thus I decided that it was best to just let the subject drop.
When he played the video, I knocked Emmett down and strangled him. "Why must you show that video?"
It was a video he named it, "Olivia's Life". It had various scenes which circled around me, but of all people, why must he play it for Will?
Will laughed, "Chill Olivia. My friend, this way, I can know you better."
"What does watching this video has got to do with knowing me better?" I shouted, still hitting Emmett.
"Of course it does. Now, I know that you hate humongous wardrobes, you dislike shopping, you can't cook and…" he stopped and watched the video in awe.
Why is the living hall quiet out of sudden? I turned and looked at the TV.
A girl was learning how to read music notes, with the Edward's careful guidance. Then the TV turned black, I knew it was Emmett's voice coming out from the stereo speaker. It said, "A day later." It was the same girl again. The moment she placed her delicate fingers on the piano, it was so obvious that whatever that happened around her was none of her concern. She played as if she was one of the internationally known musicians, really enjoying herself.
"She's—You're extraordinary." Will looked at me, fascinated.
"Thank you." I blushed. I can't believe that's me, really.
"Why not you play a piece for Will?" Edward asked.
"Which one?" I rolled my eyes.
"Perhaps the one you were playing recently, Chopin's etude, opus 10, number 3?" Edward said.
I headed towards the grand piano, and sat down. Before I started, Jasper, the history lover gave everyone a brief introduction, "You know what? Through this piece, Chopin expressed his love for his country, Poland. It is regarded as the most affectionate piece he has ever composed."
It was only then that I knew that Edward's idea of asking me play that particular piece, was in fact to express my love, not for my country, but for Will.
Well, since I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of them, especially Will, I performed my very best, blending my soul into the music. I closed my eyes, enjoying the beautiful melody played emotionally.
"Olivia!" Will shouted with full of joy and… love. "It was a sensational performance!"
"Thanks." My cheeks flushed red.
"Kids, it's dinner time now. Will, are you staying for dinner?" Esme shouted from the kitchen. It was unusual to see her cook such big portions, seeing no one eats besides Jacob, me, and sometimes Ness, though she preferred blood more.
"Oh my… I didn't know its dinner time already. I'm sorry Esme, but I've got to go now. Bye guys!" He stood up and headed to the door.
"Olivia, send him off, you're the host, remember?" Alice who was acting as if she was eating called from the kitchen.
"Okay." I listened to her and didn't even stop to think of why she said so.
I opened the door and led Will to his car. He opened his car door but did not get into it, instead, he turned and said, "Thanks for today. I really know you better now."
I smiled, "You're welcomed. Its good that you know me better now, You know, through that video."
Unexpectedly, he kissed my left cheek. Without waiting for my reaction, he got into the car and sped off.
I stood there for what seemed like hours. My cheeks was red hot and I could feel as though my heart could jump right out of my bones, tearing out of my skin. Out of sudden, I felt calm again. I knew Jasper was near me. He tapped my shoulders, "Sis, let's go in. Don't torture your stomach, its making annoying noises already."
I laughed and went in to get my meal.
That night, I touched my left cheek again before sleeping with a smile. I thought I heard Edward chuckling from his room, but it didn't bother me as much as it used to.
Those few nights my sleep were uninterrupted by dreams.
(I'm sorry. I'm lazy to write about their days spent together. Cause i'm afraid that the chapters will get longer and longer. Aiming to finish within 20 chapters. cries Just imagine normal friends, hanging out together.)
For two weeks, Will and I spent every minute together, wanting to know more about each other desperately.
However, all he knew about me was the "me" after I woke up, finding myself in front of the Cullens, without any trace of memory.
The day before school started, he asked me, "Olivia, would you like to go for a dinner? With me?"
Without a second thought, I agreed. "Remember to dress up nicely. I'll pick you up at 6 later." Was all he said before heading home.
Once I got into the car, Edward, Bella and Ness smiled at me. Of course they must have overheard our conversation, but still, I acted as if I didn't know what that smile was for.
I reached home and screamed, "Alice!! Alice Cullen!! I know you saw that and I need your assistance right away. Please appear right in front of me within 5 seconds or I'll…" I couldn't continue so I started the countdown, "One!"
There she was in front of me, "Okay. Whatever that keeps my ear drums functioning properly. Do you know that your voice nearly got me deaf?"
"Sorry Alice. I didn't know that. All I know is that I don't have time for any chidings right now, you can do that later after my dinner. Oh, but no shopping please." I apologized quickly.
Alice chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't scold you. Sure, I believe I've stocked up some dresses in your closet. Come now, hurry. We don't have much time. Go take a bath while I choose the outfits."
I saw the looks on Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper's face, all puzzled. Emmett asked, "Why is she shouting like a freak? And what dinner?"
Ness stopped her dad who was going to explain to all three of them, "May I?"
The clock struck 6 times, and I heard a car heading towards the house. The gentleman knocked on the door, and I heard Emmett saying, "Hi. Dude, I think you need to wait a while. You know, girls."
"Hi Garrett. Hey guys. Yeah, girls." He chuckled.
I looked at the mirror once, I was wearing a red tube dress, one which was formal, and casual at the same time. The scarlet red tube dress was the one Paris Hilton worn early this year. On my request, Alice put a simple make-up for me.
Before going down I asked again, "Are you sure I look alright, Alice?"
"Yes, for the 88th time, you do. Your look, your dress, your everything will captivate everyone in the restaurant tonight."
I hugged her, "Thanks Alice. This is my first dinner with Will, and I really appreciate it."
"You're welcome. Now, don't make him wait. Go." She replied.
As I walked down the flight of stairs, everyone looked at me, stunned.
I waved at Will, "Hi! You're right on time."
"Hey, Olivia. You look really gorgeous." He gasped.
"Thank you, now shall we?" I replied. My face blushing once again.
He opened the front door, then the car door for me. "Hey, isn't that Beethoven's symphony that you're playing?"
"Yes indeed. Wow you're really a classical craze." He teased.
The restaurant was cozy. When we went in, I saw the looks of the men staring at me. Then I remembered Alice's words when she was assuring me that everything would turn out just fine. Will held my hands tightly, as if wanting those guys to know that I am his, not theirs. I smiled at the thought of that.
After finishing the meal, he took me for a walk in the garden nearby. There was a moment of silence, ugh, I hate moments like this. Its so awkward.
Now now now, if you may, click the "Go" button on the bottom left, and submit a review please... And thank you so so so so so much. Just like what i said in Chapter 7, you'll get a cheese cake and chocolate cake. If not, tell me what flavour you like, and i'll bake one immediately.
Erm, sorry, won't be updating this week. Maybe next week. Cause i'm having difficulties on imagining Olivia's life... and all. Ish! I'm gonna get my friend's help! And she's the one who's been editing my stories. A big hug and thanks to her! And, is this cliffie? Cause i'm trying to make it cliffie!!
