Chapter 3.
Walking into that room and having my eyes land on Isabella looking so lost made me have to stop for a second to catch my breath. I didn't know why she was like this but who ever made her feel this way better careful that they don't have to cross paths with me.
Thinking about the look on her face a brilliant idea popped into my head. Is could go two ways. Really well or terribly wrong, i was hoping i would go really well.
"Isabella" i called through the bathroom door.
"yeah"
"I'm just going to run out for about 20 minutes okay."
"alright"
"and Isabella"
"yeah?"
"dress in something comfortable, casual if you will"
"okay"
After hearing her respond i ran out of there to my car.

Bella POV
Casual. Sexy casual or laid back casual ? What do i wear ?
Looking at my clothes i decided on a black and grey jersey ruffle tiered tank combo dress and my black leather gladiator sandals. I put in my silver hoop earrings and my necklace, i added some silver and black bangles.
Edward said casual but i still wanted to look good for him. I hoped this was good enough.
I heard Edward knock and call my name , I couldn't of taken that long to get dressed ? Could i ?
"I'm ready Edward, just let me get my bag and ill be out there in a second."
"you don't have to bring your bag Isabella, just your phone if you want."
I did as he suggested and only took my phone and keys out of my bag along with two twenty dollars bills. Just in case. My father always told me, "never leave the house without your own money Bella, that's your insurance".
Walking out of the bedroom to say i was surprised to see that Edward had changed his entire outfit was an understatement.
When he first got here he was wearing slacks with a light blue button down and black dress shoes. Now, he was wearing blue denim jeans with a grey t-shirt and back boots.
"How long was i getting ready for exactly ?" I ask out loud.
"not that long about 45 minutes or so" Edward answered.
"and you left, got changed and came back in that time ?"
"well. Yeah. I drive fast."
"I remember i was almost road kill by your hands once." he laughs at this.
"i would of been back sooner but i stopped to pick this up for you." he said drawing my attention to the single yellow rose with red tip he was holding.
"Thank you. It's beautiful"
Xx Xx
"Where are we going ?"
"hang tight love, we'll be there soon"
Edward looked over at Isabella trying to gauge and see if she noticed his slip.
She actually had but kept her eyes glued to the scenery rushing by her with a slight smile on her face. Since arriving she hadn't been anywhere but on the campus grounds.
"It's beautiful"
"Yes. You are"
"i wasn't talking about me Edward"
"you may not have, but i was"
"thank you" she answers letting her hair fall to cover her face a bit.
Twenty minutes later Bella started noticing bright lights every where. A fair. He was taking her to a fair.
For Edward to witness the way her eyes would lit up on that Ferris wheel or every time he won her a stuffed animal was amazing to him.
He wanted to live his life making her smile. He wanted to be the reason that smile was on her face. All he could think about was how beautiful she was.
Xx Xx
After helping Isabella out of the car, he opened the back door to retrieve the bag of stuffed animals he had won her and then escorted her up to her room. He gave her a chaste kiss good night and left with the sound of her bell like laugh fresh in his memory.
As he walked to his car, Edward thought about his life. He thought of the way he wanted things to happen. He had found a wife and he hoped Isabella would agree to be, but he also knew he didn't want to force her into anything, he wanted to make sure she knew what she was getting herself into.
He couldn't even really begin to think of how that conversation would go. He would call his father in the morning but he would put it aside for tonight and enjoy a good nights rest thinking about his Isabella.
Edward woke early the next morning desperate to speak to his father before he took anything further with Isabella
-*TEHO*-
Carlisle was sitting at his desk looking over some shipment that was supposed to come in feeling rather frustrated and about ready to kill someone because something just was not adding up. And nobody fucks around when it came to a Cullen. Especially when it came to their money. Many had tried and failed and others learned from example.
Carlisle hears his phone ringing from some where under all the papers on his desk. When he found it he saw his sons' name displayed. A rare smile appeared on his face. He would never admit it but everyone knew Edward was Carlisle favourite. He never treated any of his children terribly he loved them to death, but he just loved Edward to a different extent. Maybe because he saw so much of him self in his oldest son.
"hello son"
"hi dad. Are you busy"
"i am never too busy for my children."
"i wanted to come see you. I want your advice on something."
"well I'm at home so come over, we'll talk"
"thank you dad. This is important to me"
"anytime son. I'll see you in soon"
Xx Xx
Edward called Isabella before going to go see his father to make sure she was alright, ending the conversation before he could slip up and blurt something out to her, he wanted to speak with his father first but reassured her that he would see her later that day.
Pulling up to the large house he has always known as home was great he always felt like he could breathe easier when there.
He knocked on his fathers' office door and calling for him.
"come in son"
"hey dad"
"so what do you want to speak about son?" Carlisle asked after getting up to kissing his sons' cheeks.
"i wanted to tell Isabella about us, about our family, about who i am, who i will be.. I want her to know before she gets caught up in anything, i want her to make the choice."
" i can't say i understand where you're coming from Edward, as you know you're mother was born into this life, just as you and i but i do agree with what you're saying. I see you care deeply for this girl and i would back you up if that is what you need from me, but please consider this before you tell her."
Edward waited for his father to continue.
"let us, you're mother and i, go out to dinner with you and Isabella. I would like to know this girl that has stolen your heart so quickly"
Edward smiled at his father. Something that was rarely spotted on Edwards face and this surprised Carlisle but nothing like the words that then came slipped from his sons' lips.
"it was never mine to begin with."
"Ill call you with the details later father." Edward said over his shoulder as he left the room.
Xx Xx
It had been a couple more weeks of getting to know Bella better and his father bugging him to meet her before he actually asked Isabella to go to the dinner with them
"so will you go"
"i would like to Edward but i don't have clothes nice enough to meet your parents."
Isabella had seen how Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett dressed and the clothes they wore were in no way cheap.
She herself owned a few costly things but one of Alices' dresses could probably buy her entire wardrobe.
She had gotten close to her boyfriends family and they all loved her, and she them.
"that's the only thing you have a problem with? Your clothes?"
"well. Yeah i guess so"
Edward pulled out his phone and called his sister.
"yes fratello?"
"how would you and Rosalie like to take Isabella shopping"
"ill be there in 5 minutes and why do don't you just say Bella like the rest of us ?"
"ill see you soon."
"ill just ask Bella"
"i see you soon shorty"
Minutes later Bella was being dragged out of the apartment with Edwards credit card in her back pocket after much (MUCH) debate.
Xx Xx
"what kind of card is this any way. Its so heavy." Bella asked Rosalie
"that my dear Isabella is what we call a Black card."
"Bella and so what its black."
"why is it that only Edward is allowed to call you Isabella?"
"everyone has always only called me Isabella when I'm in trouble but i feel different when Edward calls me by my full name"
Alice and Rosalie rolled their eyes. They could see that these two were in love but neither would admit it to each other. But neither knew what was to happen that night would be a catalyst to such confessions.
"How do you even get one of these things?" Bella kept looking at the card obviously fascinated.
"lets put it like this Bella. The card is available through invitation only. If you meet the criteria for the card , American express sends you an application. Basically you have to spend a minimum of about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year on an American express card before you can even be considered to carry one of these."
It didn't even register to Bella just how much money Rosalie had said until they where on their way back to her dorm.
Before she knew it Alice had pulled her into a high end boutique that she didn't want to be in. She was used to nice things but this was crazy.
"Alice we can find something just as good that cost less"
"Bella."
"what"
"relax and let me get you an outfit to meet my parents in please ?"
With Alice busting out the puppy dog eyes she just could not say no. Well she could of, but she didn't want to hurt Alices' feelings.
And so they ended up leaving the store with a one shoulder lace blue dress with a brown belt. Brown boots and a brown clutch to match.
After straightening out her hair and finishing her make-up. Her usual foundation with a little bit of gold eye shadow. She got into her dress then put on a her accessories with included a watch, bracelet, necklace and earrings.
She just finish putting on her shoes when Edward knocked, she grabbed her clutch and exited the room.
"wow. you look so good babe. Okay lets go we have to get there in 30 minutes and my father likes punctuality."
"okay. I'm ready"
Xx Xx
The drive to the restaurant was silent. Isabella was nervous to meet Edwards parents and Edward just wanted this to go well so that he could make the next step in their relationship.
They walked into the restaurant holding hands. Esme had been so excited to meet the woman that had been making her son so happy but upon seeing the girl, she noticed her family had left out one tiny bit of information.
"SHE'S BLACK ?!"

yes Fratello?- yes Brother ?
