Chapter Two
BPOV
Why was he staring at me like that? I knew I should be thinking this guy was a freak but I just couldn't find it in me to call him that, even if it was in my mind. Though he may appear strange with his beautiful face I could never think of him as a freak. I saw the others at the table eyeing him curiously and they seemed to be exchanging words now but their lips were moving so quickly I wasn't sure. He never said a word to them, just kept looking at me.
I finally decided it was time to look away from his stare and try and join in on the conversation around me, but I could feel his stare on me the whole time. I glimpsed at him from the corner of my eye. Still staring. I quickly looked down at the table in front of me. I turned to Jessica. I had to know who they were, and more importantly who he was.
"Who are they?" I asked.
She looked to see who I was talking about, though probably already knowing. Like me she quickly looked down when she saw Edward staring but then looked up again when she saw he was only looking at me. She giggled.
"You mean the one's at the table with the guy looking at you?" she snickered. I blushed and nodded.
"That's the Cullens and the Hales. Emmett, Edward, Alice, Jasper and Rosalie. They're all adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife, they moved here just two years ago now"
"That's really nice of them. To take in all those kids"
I looked over to him again and saw that he was looking at me with a tiny smile playing on his parted lips. It seemed like... in adoration somehow. I looked down again.
"Well, I think Mrs. Cullen can't have kids or something" she sniffed. What a bitch! That doesn't lessen their kindness you know!
"And they're all together!" she exclaimed "You know Emmett and Rosalie then Jasper and Alice"
Oh, he's not single. I couldn't understand why that upset me so much.
"Only Edward is single. The one still staring at you" she snicked again.
I actually felt relief when I heard this, but I dismissed the feeling as soon as it came.
I glanced back at the one I now knew was called Edward. He still staring at me. I was beginning to get the feeling that he probably wouldn't stop staring at me even if the whole room went up in flames. I tried, with no avail, to stop looking back at him, but I just couldn't stop glancing every few minutes. Everytime I looked he was still staring. Will he ever get bored of this!? I though angrily, he was making me uncomfortable. Yet at the same time the look he was giving me and the fact he wouldn't look away made butterflies flutter in my stomach.
Finally, I decided enough was enough and managed to persuade Jessica and Angela that it was time to leave the cafeteria and go to class. My next class was biology (;I think you know who's going to be there;).
As I walked out the cafeteria his eyes continued to follow me until I went through the doors and even then I caught glances of him trying to still look at me, going on the very edge of his chair and leaning far away from the table.
EPOV
No! Please don't go! My thoughts begged Isabella as she walked out the cafeteria with her friends. The pain instantly started to come back in my chest as she walked further away from me.
Go on then, Alice said in her head.
I looked over to her. She looked over in the direction Isabella had gone. I smiled at her and quickly got up from my seat.
She prefers the name Bella. She "called".
Bella. Beautiful Bella.
BPOV
I rushed to my locker. The corridor was nearly empty apart from the footsteps I could hear walking around the corner.
I tripped on my boots and dropped all my books to floor.
I was aware of someone helping me pick the books up and I silently thanked them as we stood up.
"Don't worry about it" a velvet voice spoke. I looked up and gasped. It was him.
He looked deep into my eyes and I into his. I became a little dazed and seemed he did too. "Thanks anyway" I mumbled looking down again.
He handed me the rest of my books and our hands touched. His hand was freezing, but I barely registered that fact. When we touched a current of electricity seemed to pass through us and I gasped once again.
Before I knew it his large white hands were fisted in my hair and he quickly pulled my face to his and his icy lips moved against my own.
It was the most amazing feeling I had ever felt in my life. I didn't react at first, I didn't want him to think I was easily won, but I couldn't stop myself, I soon kissed back. Our lips moved in sync with each other. His tongue swept across my bottom lip and I parted my lips for entrance. Our tongues met for a moment, then I turned unresponsive and tried to push him away. He was obviously wondering why I'd stopped so he looked back at me curiously.
I glared at him while he wore a somewhat hurt expression.
"What the hell did you do that for!?" I hissed angry.
"Bella, I-" he started but I held up my hand to stop him and walked away from his embrace.
Why had I done that?! How could I?! I'd given my first kiss to a guy I didn't even know! But worst of all, I had enjoyed it. I hadn't wanted to stop when I'd pushed him away, I'd wanted more, wanted to go deeper. I was disgusted with myself.
After a few minutes by myself in the empty corridors I knew the bell was going to ring soon so I made my way to biology trying desperately to get Edward Cullen and our kiss out of my mind. Of course I failed.
I handed my slip to the teacher Mr. Banner when I walked into the classroom. I made my way over to the desk he'd pointed to where I was going to sit and I stopped dead in my tracks. Messy bronze hair, pale skin, black eyes. Shit!
EPOV
How could I have done that?! I thought angrily to myself.
My heart was gripped with pain as I realised what she must think of me now. And worst still I couldn't find out from simply reading her mind. But I knew it would be stupid to dwell on the hope that she might even consider for a second being with me again. I just couldn't help myself when our hands had touched. She was so close to me, close enough to reach out and touch. The warmth coming from her body and the way her lips moved as she talked, though she had said little, it was too much for my self-control to not just hold her body to mine. But when our hands had actually touched every ounce of my self-control was gone in an instant. The need to have her closer had overwhelmed me.
The kiss was the most incredible and beautiful thing I had ever experienced in my existance. I allowed my mind to dwell a long time on how wonderful it had felt to finally have her close to me and to kiss those soft warm lips. But the best thing about the whole event, had been the fact that this angel, this goddess had responded to my kiss. To feel for even a moment that hope that she might want me too, the complete joy that coursed through me was indescribable.
I sat down at my seat in biology, not paying any attention to my surroundings or the thoughts of the students around me.
"I'm the new student" I heard a sweet voice say. The sound was like music to my ears.
I looked up and saw the face that had not left my mind since the moment I saw it. Unable to help myself, a smile crept upon my lips at the knowledge that Mr. Banner would have no choice put to place her next to me at the only available desk left. But I got rid of the smile quickly so that she would not see. She doesn't need to think worse of me than she already does I told myself.
When she saw me a look of horror came into her eyes and she stopped walking. That made my heart sink all the more as I remembered that she would hate me. If only she could know how much I loved her.
She started walking again and slowly sat next to me. Her heart was beating frantically but her facial expression was unreadable as she stared to the front of the classroom, never taking notice of me. All I could do was stare at her like I had done in the cafeteria.
After ten minutes had passed, though it seemed so much longer for me, I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to communicate with her somehow. I turned onto a clean page in my notebook so I could pass her a note, at least to say sorry for kissing her earlier.
I'm sorry..- No that wasn't enough. I scrubbed it out.
I sighed, then I knew what I had to say, what I was desperate to know.
I wrote again. Can you forgive me, Bella? Yes that was what I wanted to say. Just to know that I was forgiven, that there could be a chance to start afresh and to get to know her better. I passed her the note and watched her reaction as she read it.
She hesitated and her heartbeat grew noticeably faster.
Why was she taking time to answer? Why was this hard for her? Did she feel the same way?
Finally she wrote down her answer with her eyebrows scrunched together in what looked like confusion. She passed me the note and I quickly looked down to see her answer.
First.. why did you do it?
How could I possibly explain this to her without her being frightened of me? Well, I'm a vampire and we do this little thing called imprinting when we find out soul mates and well.... I imprinted on you and I'm so in love with you that you should call it obsessed rather than love. Somehow I don't think she would be fine with that explanation, but what else could I say to her. So I put the one thing I could think of.
I don't know.
She looked at my reply and shook her head.
You just don't kiss someone and then say "I don't know"
I suppose I was going to have to get better at my "human" replies.
Look, I like you and I just couldn't help myself
Its still a poor excuse
I don't know what came over me
I still doesn't make it okay
Please, Bella
She looked up at my face. My eyes silently pleaded her to understand and forgive me. She stared into my eyes with her mouth slightly parted. What was wrong with her? She looked... dazed. Why? By what? Me? I began to feel warm and fuzzy inside again at the thought that I had that effect on her. She shook her head to try to remain focused on the subject but she couldn't seem to think of anything to say. I had to know something, and only she could give me the answer I needed to know.
You kissed me back, why?
She looked down at the table and her cheeks blushed bright red. I didn't think it was possible to adore her more than what I did, but that color on her cheeks made her look so sweet and innocent that I couldn't help but filled with awe at her beauty again.
I don't know
I quietly chuckled at her answer.
You see
A small guilty smile appeared and she blushed even more. So adorable. She looked up at me again. We stared into each others eyes for an unmeasurable period of time. If my heart could beat it would have been going very fast, just like her's was now. Just like before, the need to hold her to me, to touch her, flared as strong as before. It was like a warm glow which soon became like burning fire spreading in my veins from my heart and out into the rest of my body. It was getting harder to hold my hands back and I had to grip them together to keep from grabbing her, but I knew if I just suddenly reached out and held her my embrace as I wanted so, so much it was bound to bring attention.
We continued to stare at each other and she couldn't seem to look away just as I could not. Little did she know, or any of them know of the struggle I was battling inside. Then something I did not expect, a strain grew against my pants too.
The struggle I mentioned before... nothing compared to how it is now with an erection. If I had not being going through what I was going through I would have found the subject of me with an erection comical, but in the current situation I was in it was impossible to do so.
Our stare had become more intense if that were possible and it did no good for my already poor state of self-control.
"Miss Swan" Mr. Banner called. Having already asked her the question twice.
She looked away from me and our moment was over. For her anyway.
I did my best to look away from her as I tried to recover my self-control. My hands were shaking very hard underneath the table as my instincts to just take her up in my arms and take her somewhere I could relieve my need to do so many things I had never wanted to do in my existance before now.
After several minutes I was able to regain my self-control, though I was sure it would still weaken a little when I looked at her again. I was right, but it was manageable, only just.
I had almost forgotten what I had wanted to know before our moment. I still had to know if she forgave me for what I had done, so I passed her another note asking the same question as before, silently praying.
She looked at my note and smiled. She looked into my eyes, and after recovering from her dazed state, she nodded. I let out a big breath I had not known I'd been holding. She looked down at her book again, but I continued to look at her unable to look away from the one I loved for even a second. I would never let her out of my sight again, I vowed to myself. Even if she were not to know it most of the time, I would still look at her from afar, whenever I could. You can call it stalking if you wish, I don't care. I loved her so much. I would never allow any harm to come to her.
And I knew, someday, perhaps soon, I would make her mine as I was already hers.
Hope you enjoyed it!
And please, please, please, please, please review and tell me what you think!
