Jasper lightly punched my arm as we got out of Emmett's monster jeep. Emmett and I have been cracking jokes all the way home about Jasper and if he was going to do anything serious with Alice at the formal, but we knew Jasper would never do that. But he was still fun to make fun of. Emmett was still booming as we got to the elevator.
"Well, what about you Edward. When are you going to make your move on Bella? Everyone already knows that your like deeply in love with her." Jasper teased, but there was a slightly serious and curious tone to his voice. Emmett started to laugh again as we stepped out of the elevator.
"I don't know. Soon, I know that for sure. I just don't know how she feels about me yet." I answered truthfully. They stared at me and smiled.
"Good for you. And I'm pretty sure she's crazy about you too." Emmett said as he hit my arm. We came up to the girls dorm and turned the knob. Emmett was the first to stroll in, then Jasper, then lastly me. I walked in and scoped the room. I looked for the face that I had to see, and when I saw her, face and all, my eyes widened. I felt my mouth drop open and my breathing quickened. I froze in place and looked her over. She was in a sexy, navy blue dress that tied around her neck and flowed to the ground. Then, she blushed bright red and looked down. Even when she was looking down, I could see the smile that spread across her face. I shook my head to clear my mind and flashed her my crooked grin. I reserved that one smile for her, and her only, because I knew how much she liked it. Emmett finally broke the silence.
"Hey ladies. What's going on here." Emmett boomed as he looked Bella over too.
"We're just checking out Bella's new formal dress. No boy will be able to resist her now." Alice clarified, and as she said that last part, her eyes flickered to me as if to prove her point. Bella finally spoke up and once again, I heard her bell-like voice that was so beautiful and stunning.
"I'm going to go change now." she said quickly as she fled from the room. I chuckled at her embarrassment and wished that she would've stayed, so I could see her in that dress for just a little while longer. I smiled to myself and went to go sit on the floor, that now seemed to be mine and Bella's spot. We always sat there together when I was here.
"So… Edward… what did you think of Bella's new dress?" Alice asked, sounding a bit smug. Everyone chuckled as they recalled my reaction.
"I thought it was wonderful and looked perfect on Bella." I told her in the same smug tone. She just smiled down at me from her spot on the arm chair, then rested her head back on Jasper's shoulder. Emmett and Rosalie just smiled from there spot on the couch. Finally, Bella came back out, in regular clothes, and took in the scene before her. She looked at me finally and I was smiling my crooked grin at her. I patted the space next to me, and like so many other times, she walked over and plopped down beside me. She turned to look at me and smiled. She looked like she was deep in thought. Then she looked around at everyone else. Then she turned her attention back to me as I was staring intently at her beautiful face and I smiled. I love her so much, yet she doesn't know yet. How do I tell her? Or better yet, does she love me the same way. I thought to myself as I searched her eyes for any hints. Then a piece of hair fell out of place, so I took my hand and gently pushed it back into place. She smiled instantly and closed her eyes as I touched her. I loved how she reacted to my touch. But while I was looking at her, a single tear appeared and fell down her face, but as soon as it fell, it was gone with a gentle stroke of the back of my hand. Her smile widened and she sighed. I wanted to pull her into me in that moment and kiss her passionately, but I knew that would make things more complicated for her, so I restrained myself. Then she spoke.
"Thank you. For everything." She breathed silently. Then after a minute, she opened her eyes and turned her attention to the T.V.
I'm falling so quickly for her, and I'm falling fast. But is she falling for me the same way I am for her. All I know is that if she is, I'll be waiting for her at the bottom to catch her in my arms. I thought and I let my eyes wander across my future that was sitting in front of me and smiled.
