How Did I Fall in Love With You
Chapter 5
Bella's POV
After ten minuets driving in my old rusty, red truck, I arrived in the Cullen house. I felt so scared that I can hear my heart beating through my ears. I tried to remind myself to take deep breaths and try to relax, but my heart would not stop racing in my chest.
I got out of my out dated truck, and walked toward the front door. I nervously knocked the door and took another deep breath.
Esme was the one to answer the door.
"hello Bella." she said smiling in a small and humble tone.
"hey Esme." I responded back.
"why don't you come in." she said while opening the door for me.
"thanks"
Right when I stepped in to the house, Alice ran to my side and gave me a friendly hug.
Esme just giggled and went to the kitchen.
"Bella!" she shouted. She yell was so loud that I could have been deaf.
"Alice!" I shouted back.
"okay, well I planned your party. Since its in a couple of days and your almost a legal adult, were going to a club!" she sang. Her voice was so sweet that I had felt a slight pang of jealousy.
She caught me off guard. I guess I haven't told her about my fear of dancing and I m a really uncoordinated person.
"wait, Alice my birthday is on Saturday, the 13th of September. I don't think you can plan a party that fast. And plus don't you have to be 21 to have a party in a club?" I wondered if she heard my voice shaking.
I was desperate to have any excuse to get out of this nightmare. Anything to get out of this party Alice had planned for me.
"well, you thought wrong! All I need is the invitations to be sent and the food! And well what I didn't know is that your birthday was this Saturday! Ugh. That's just great! That just gives me less time to plan and get our dresses. For gods sake its already Wednesday!" she fussed about.
"I'm sorry Alice. By the way where is this 'party' going to be?" I asked truly curious.
" That's a secret! Just come here at noon Saturday so I can get you ready."
"Alice, I don't-"
"No Bella! What ever you say were still having this party no matter what!" she fussed about. I could tell in her voice that she was getting aggravated.
"But-" I tried to say, but she interrupted me again.
"No Bella. Just come to the party and you'll I promise you will have a good time." She tried to keep her voice from showing that she was getting angry.
I just nodded knowing that I would lose the conversation.
Alice and I started to walk to the kitchen, when I accidentally bumped Edwards shoulder.
"oh I'm sorry." I said apologizing.
'no, it okay its my fault. I didn't see you there. You have nothing to be sorry about." he responded.
His emerald-colored eyes caught my attention fast. His piercing eyes locked on mine. Is it possible they could be greener than before?
That was the first time I actually talked to him; our first conversation.
"well anyway. I'm Edward Cullen. Your fiancé." he took out his hand for me to shake.
I took his hand and introduced myself.
"well, Bella's a very beautiful name. And you're a really beautiful person." I didn't know if he was telling the truth or just playing with my mind.
I blushed tomato red. "thanks."
"well I'll catch up with you and Alice later." he said walking out of the front door.
"ok" I stood there frozen.
Wow he was beautiful. I mean just looking at him sends tingles through my body. I have no idea what is happening to me. I have never felt this way before.
But a guy like that already has a girlfriend or even girlfriends. He was a player, and he doesn't know what love is.
"Bella? Bella, hello? Bella!" Alice said shaking me gently.
"oh I'm sorry Alice. Did you say something?" I looked at her with questioned eyes.
"yeah I did, your party. Here let me give you some helpful advice. Edward may seem like he's a good person but he's not. He doesn't believe in relationships and girlfriends. He's a player. Once a player, always a player. Just stay away from him and whatever you do don't fall in love with him."
"don't worry Alice I don't like him like that." at least I think I don't. " I've been through a lot and the last thing I need right now is a complicated relationship."
She nodded and we finally got in the kitchen. I knew Alice too well, and I could tell she was worried about it. Esme was baking cookies and it smelled absolutely delicious.
"wow, mom that smells so good!" Alice shrieked.
"yeah, Esme you're a really good cook." I said smiling at her.
"thanks girls! Please don't be shy, take a cookie and tell me what you guys think." Esme said proud of her creation.
Just as Alice and I were about to take a cookie Carlisle called everyone to the dinning room.
"Emmett, Esme, Bella, Alice and Edward, please have a seat in the dinning room table." Carlisle stated.
When everyone was seated, we noticed that Edward was the only one missing.
"ugh that boy will seriously make me pop a vein in my forehead. Alice and Bella if you don't mind, please find Edward and tell him to get his butt in the dinning room table now" Carlisle said frustrated.
He was pinching his nose and shaking his head with true disappointment.
"sure thing Carlisle." I said while Alice and I stood up.
"Here you look outside Bella and I'll look upstairs."
I nodded and went out of the front door.
I saw Edward and a girl with a fake dyed blonde hair, about my age, making out beside his shiny silver Volvo.
I guess they didn't hear the front door open, cause they still had their lips glued together by the time I was outside.
I cleared my throat, which finally caught their attention. At that moment their lips parted and I felt a sense of jealousy and anger. Wishing that I was her.
I had no idea why I felt this way. Crap, I hope I'm not starting to fall for Edward.
"umm Edward your father wants all of us to meet in the dinning room table immediately." I said quietly.
I quickly went back to the house not waiting for his response.
I was about to have a full blown out meltdown, when I realized I shouldn't have one.
Alice found me and quickly rushed to my side.
"Bella are you okay? What's wrong?" she asked worriedly.
I just shook my head, afraid that my voice would give out what I was feeling.
" okay well, did you find him?" Alice asked.
"yeah, he was out side, making out with this blonde girl."
"wow typical Edward. Whatever lets get back." I could tell in her voice that this was typical Edward behavior.
"okay." I said quietly.
We went back to the table and told Carlisle where Edward was. We sat there for about 2 minuets when Edward finally came in.
"sorry I was late." he said sarcastically.
"whatever Edward." Alice said annoyed.
"Well lets get this started." Carlisle continued "okay since it is Bella's birthday on Saturday, she will be a legal adult. Her parents don't know that you two will be legally married so, Bella told them that she got a new job, that pays a lot We cant have your wedding on a weekday because Bella still goes to school. So we'll have it next Saturday. This will be like an actual wedding, as in guests will be arriving. After the honeymoon, you guys will come back here and live in different rooms."
While Carlisle was explaining, I noticed Edwards worried eyes on me. Like he was embarrassed about what I walked into.
"wait, what do you mean honeymoon Carlisle" I asked him nervously.
"well, of course since it's a 'real' wedding, you have to have a honeymoon. I ordered you guys separate rooms. Just for a couple of days in Hawaii as a show for the press. You two don't even have to look at each other while your there."
I nodded as I understood what he was explaining.
"so I guess that's it. Oh yeah, I just remembered, Bella, Alice insisted that we have a big party, to officially say that you and Edward are going to be married."
I panicked. I hated being celebrated, especially if you're a klutz like me. Being the center of attention.
"no, Carlisle we don't have to have a party." I interjected.
"yes, finally! An excuse to get drunk!" Emmett said laughing.
"yes we will Bella. No matter what you say we will have this party." Alice said starting to get irritated.
As I was about to say another word, she gave me the death glare and I decided to just shut up about it because we already went over this.
When the meeting was over everyone started to scatter out and went their different ways.
As I was about to follow Alice towards the kitchen, when something caught my wrist.
"Bella, I'm really sorry you had to see that, earlier." Edward apologized.
"no, Edward its okay. She's your girlfriend, so I guess its okay." I tried to make my voice steady but had no luck.
"she's not my girlfriend. I don't have one." he smiled and proud of what he just said.
"okay. Why were you kissing her?" I asked pressing on the subject.
"I don't believe in love and I guess its just having fun. Nothing serious." he tried explaining but I couldn't comprehend what he was saying.
I just looked at him. Truly distrusted with what he just said.
"okay Edward. That's your life, not mine. You can do anything you want, even if that means making out with numerous women."
With that last word, I walked away.
I went into the kitchen and found Alice and Esme.
"Alice I'm sorry, but I have to go. Thanks for everything."
"Sure anytime. But are you coming back soon right?" she questioned.
"as soon as I can, I promise."
I gave her a friendly hug and exited out of their humble home.
I quickly missed Esme and Carlisle's special warmth and courteous. Alice's bubby, friendly, and sisterly comfort. Emmett's one of a kind jokes. They were like the ideal family, except for Edward.
They are doing so much for me and my family that the least I can do is change their son to a better person.
I got into my old, rusty car and entered the freeway.
I tried to get the picture of Edward and his mystery blonde locking lips out of my head. What did she mean to him? Was it something serious or just messing around?
Why did my world suddenly revolve around Edward Cullen?
While I was driving, I noticed a very familiar shiny Volvo.
Is that Edwards Volvo?
I just shook my head, knowing that it was impossible.
I know I was hallucinating and with Edward in my head all the time now, so that was a possibility.
When I arrived home I had the biggest surprise of my life.
