When I woke up the next morning it was 8:30 a.m. Also, there was a note by my clock and it had my name on it. It was in Rosalie's handwriting. I grabbed and opened it.
Bella,
Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and me went to the store. We'll be back soon. Don't worry. Just call Alice's or mine's cell phone if you need anything. Ok.
Love,
Us all 3!!
I put the note down and got up. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my hair and my teeth. I didn't want morning breath. I decided since I was probably not going to have any visitors, I could just stay in my pj's. I walked to the kitchen and searched the cabinets. No wonder they went to the store, there wasn't anything to eat.
"Ugh…" I groaned and shut the cabinet. Knock, Knock. Someone hit the door. I walked to the door and opened it. When I saw who was there, by breathing caught in my throat and my heart accelerated.
There was Edward, his hair a sexy disarray, and the crooked grin spread across his face when he saw me. His eyes searched me over, taking in my appearance. I was wearing a silky pink camisole and matching shorts that Alice had giving me as a welcome-to-our-home present. When I looked into his eyes, they were alive and dancing. His grin grew wider.
"Hey, just wake up?" he asked, a chuckle escaping his perfect lips. I just smiled at him.
"Why yes, in fact I did just wake up. I'm trying to find something to eat right now. Alice and them went to the store and now I know why." I chuckled and sat down on the couch. Edward just came over and sat by me and looked me in the eyes.
"That… is why I bought these. Alice called and said you would probably wake up before they got home and that you would probably want something to eat." He smiled at me and lifted up a white paper bag. He opened it and took out a donut and handed it to me. It was chocolate and still warm. I took a bite and it practically melted in my mouth. I closed my eyes and took another bite. Edward chuckled beside me and I realized how ridiculous I must look. I opened my eyes and smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry. It's just been so long since I've had a donut like this." I took another bite.
"It's ok. Most people haven't. These are from one of the best donut shops in the city." He smiled at me and my heart melted. He just looked so perfect… like an angel. No, I can't like him. I'm still trying to get over Jacob. But will I ever get over him? I felt a tear fall down my cheek and I saw Edward's smile falter. His eyes searched my face with a worried expression on his face. Then he did something I didn't expect him to do. He took his hand and wiped the tear away with a gentle stroke of the back of his hand. I closed my eyes at his touch as it sent a trail of fire where his hand touched. Then I remembered how Jacob would wipe away my tears the same way and a sob escaped my lips. I dropped the donut and put my face in my hands. I felt Edward put his arms around me and held me as I cried into his shoulder and stained his shirt with my salt tear.
"Shhh, Bella. It's okay. What's wrong?" he asked as he soothed me. I just cried harder, wishing that it was a different pair of arms that was holding me and a different voice that was soothing me.
"I- I- I'm s-s-sorry E-Edward. I- It's j-just t-that…" I trailed off. He just kept holding me. We sat there for a minute and I guess we both didn't hear the door opened, but we did Alice gasp and Rosalie run over to me. She took me from Edward and held me. I stopped crying and wiped my eyes. I gave her a watery broken smile. She smiled a worry smile back at me.
"Are you okay? What happened?" she asked, worry and confusion filling her eyes.
"Hold on. I have to apologize to Edward." I stood up from the couch and walked over to Edward. He looked at me with confused eyes and he seemed wary.
"Edward, I'm sorry I started crying like that. I didn't mean to. And it's not your fault. Here, I have to explain, so you know why I cried and if I ever do it again." I smiled at him and led him to the couch. We sat down and for the 5th time since I've been here, I told my story. Edward just sat there and listened, his eyes on me the whole time. When I was done, he sat there and stared at me.
"Bella… I'm… sorry. I didn't mean to." He looked down, pain in his eyes.
"It's not your fault. It's mine for putting you in that position when you didn't even really do anything. I didn't mean to start balling." I smiled at him and he smiled back. So now everyone knew my story and now I didn't have to hide who I was in front of them, including Edward. I smiled at the thought of how I already had 5 friends who knew my secret in Seattle and I've only been here like 2 weeks. I could tell this would be a good year, and it hasn't even started yet.
