Chapter 2
I was in the shower getting ready for class when i heard my phone alerting me to a new message.
What are you up to today ? Not recognizing the number i replied.
Who is this ?
Edward.
Oh.
So ?
So what ?
What are you doing today?
Class- B
what class ? I want to see you ;)-E
I have criminology class at 10 and then i have my public speaking class at 1. -B
How about i take you to grab something to eat before your public speaking class ? -E
Yeah sure. Sounds good. I finish my first class at 11:05 . courtyard cafe. -B
Alright sweets. See you in a while.- E
Sweets ? Really ?
I chose to wear a pair of black skinny jeans with my brown Uggs and a white t-shirt under my blue love pink fur lined hooded sweatshirt.
I pulled all my hair in to a loose bun at the top of my head not bothering to straighten or fully dry it today. I grabbed my bag, checked for my phone and i was off.
Class was rather uneventful to say the least. Only my second day and i was already bored out of my mind in these classes.
As soon as i stepped out of the building where my criminology class was there he was leaning against his car. Dark washed jeans, button up dress shirt, leather jacket. He looked like he step right off the pages of GQ. Umm.
I walked over to him.
"hi"
"hi sweet girl"
"what are you doing here? "
"well i couldn't wait. So. Here i am" he smirked. I rolled my eyes.
"if you say so"
"shall we get going?" he asked as he opened the passenger side door.
"you're always opening my door. Why is that?" i asked as he got in on the drivers side.
"you've never had a man open a door for you?" he asked as he pulled out of his parking spot.
"other than my father when we're entering a building? no."
"well I'm here to change that". He took his eyes off the road for a second to give me a lopsided grin.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
Minutes later we were pulling up to the courtyard. We ordered something to eat and then went to grab seats.
"so tell me about yourself Isabella"
"tell you what? What do you want to know.?"
"anything."
"there isn't much to tell really."
"okay how about we play 20 questions"
"okay but any question you ask me must be something you're willing to answer also."
"okay. Deal"
"whats your favourite colour?"
"purple. Sometimes green. Right now green."
"why green right now?"
"cause your eyes are really pretty and they're really kind of drawing me in"
"my eyes have been described as many things never have they been described as pretty"
"well they are."
"okay. Next question"
"oh no you don't whats your favourite colour ?"
"brown"
"why brown?"
"because its a constant reminder of you la Mia bellezza"
"what was that ?"
"Italian"
"what does it mean?"
"ill tell you someday"
We continued on like this until i had to leave to go to my public speaking class.
"Isabella" Edward called running after me as i walked to my class.
"yeah"
"i want to take you out like on a date. To dinner. Tomorrow"
"okay. Ill go"
"okay 7 tomorrow night. Alright."
"okay. Wait Edward" i called after him as he walked away.
"yeah ?"
"what should i wear?"
"a dress". He smirked over his shoulder and walked away.
"hi". A blonde coming from the opposite direction from where Edward just left called. I didn't really know if she was talking to me. So i didn't really bother to pay her any attention.
"In the blue sweatshirt". Well, now i knew she was talking to me.
"yeah ?"
"was that Edward Cullen you were just talking to ?"
"yeah"
she looked me up and down and then walked away chuckling to herself while she pulled out her cell phone.
I knew it was a joke, it had to be. That's the only reason some one like Edward would talk to me.
~*TEHO*~
Kate couldn't believe her eyes. Why would Edward be talking to someone like her ? She had to tell her sister.
Tanya had her heart set Carlisle Cullen had promised her that she would be the one marrying Edward and with a marriage to Edward Cullen came wealth and power was a given.
Carlisle had approached his son about the topic of marriage. Find some one in six months or you marry the person i chose for you.
"In about to step down and you will take over, but not before you are married. Six months to find someone and six months to get married."
When Edward first got a good look at Isabella and the innocent look on her face, yet the fierce look in her eyes, he Knew. She wouldn't be someone to put up with bullshit. He may have loved her before he even heard her speak but when he heard her speak he knew for certain that she would walk down the aisle to him and absolutely no one else.
Now he just had to get her to fall for him.
~*TEHO*~
When Carlisle got the call from an obviously upset Tanya stating that Edward was seeing some one "a black girl of things" she had said with such disgust that it had Carlisle thinking maybe who he had in mind for his son wasn't the best after all. He didn't mind the colour of the persons skin as long as they were loyal and trustworthy. All Carlisle cared for was respect.
He speed dialled one of the four numbers saved in his phone. His eldest son. Heir to his legacy.
"Mio figlio"
"ciao papà".
"Come va con la tua ricerca?"
"Sta andando bene. Penso che l'ho trovato. "
"E quando si è madre e la incontrerò?"
"Non ti preoccupare papà. quando si sente lo stesso per me è quando. "
"Quindi hai già dei sentimenti per lei?"
"Sì papà. diverso da qualsiasi altro. "
"Buono. male parlare con te presto figlio. Ricordo che ti amo e faccio solo quello che penso è meglio "
"Lo so papà. ti amo troppo "
~*TEHO*~
I sat watching something on the television, i couldn't really tell you what was showing. I'd been in this daze for a while now. From since that girl laughed at me i couldn't really think about anything else. I just wanted to curl up and die. I really thought he liked me. I was already smitten with him.
Wheres that tapping sound coming from?
I heard my room mate speaking to some one. Couldn't really tell. Didn't really want to know.
"Isabella" i looked up to see Edward there.
"what are you doing here?"
"i thought we had a date. I tried to call you but you didn't answer"
"i didn't because i figured you were calling to break the date so i thought i would save myself more embarrassment".
"why would you think that ?" he asked.
So i told him what happened yesterday.
"Isabella i genuinely like you and i think you like me too unless I'm mistaken."
"i do like you but i just don't know why you like me when there are so many other more beautiful women walking around here."
"i like you because you are you."
"but you're perfect and I'm ..." i motioned to myself "this"
" Isabella i spend my time with you because i want to. I want you beside me, i want to have someone i can trust, someone who is there for me and not just my name. I have known you for such a small amount of time and i already have feelings for you. So I'm going to tell you instead of ask you. You are my girl now. You're MY woman. I've seen you give me attitude, so i know you have it in you. So don't let anyone fuck with you. Understand?"
"yeah, i understand."
"good so get that cute little ass up, go get dressed and lets go" he said cheekily trying to lighten the mood.
"and just so you know, your skin colour is only a part of you. It's not who you are."
AN: see you next week or maybe later this week depending on how it goes.
