Introductions
As we walked out to his Silver Volvo It began to rain even harder. Luke took off his jacket and put it over me protectively. I was pretty impressed. He was such a gentleman. "Hey, Luke?" I asked as he opened the car door for me. "Yes?""I was just wondering, why are you such a gentlemen? I mean, you open doors for me, pull out chairs for me. It's a bit old worldly. Don't get me wrong, I love it! But it still stumps me. Care to explain?"He paused, let me into the car, crossed over and let himself in on the driver's side, started the car, and then finally said, "I guess you could say that I was raised that way...my parents...well, my real parents, were always proper. My Father always told me that in order to be a real man you must always be respectable, agreeable, and persistent towards women." He smiled wistfully and then said, " I guess that's how he got my Mother to give him the time of day.""Persistence...huh!" "What?""Well, I've never thought of persistence as a guys way of showing manhood, or affection. I actually think it's kind of... romantic!"Luke looked at me and his eyes just looked brighter, happier; as if I had just given him a gift that he really wanted. We just stared at each other. His eyes were just so beautiful. I really didn't want to look away, and It looked like Luke was feeling the same way that I was. It took me a while to realize that we were moving closer, and closer to one another to a point that our noses could have touched, after I realized this I blushed and pulled away to ask, "Are we going to go to your place or not?" He looked at me for a moment smiled and then turned the key to bring the car roaring to life as he proceeded to pull out of the driveway. The ride to his house wasn't long as I was hoping it would be, we passed many forests but I really didn't see any of them we were moving so fast that the whole outside was a just a green blur. Until we were at a full stop in front of a beautiful white three story Victorian house in the middle of a beautiful meadow, it was breath taking. I was staring at it when Luke came to open my door and offered me his hand, as I climbed out of the car I heard loud shouting. It was coming from inside the house, as soon as I heard it all of my nervousness shot at me at once..Maybe they're talking about me, maybe this visit was a bad idea, oh what if they're fighting because of me!
Oh, this is going to be bad I can tell! Luke took me out of me reverie by taking my hand in his and said, "Don't worry Lily; you'll be fine they'll love you!" "Are you sure about that?""Positive!" I sighed in submission; I really hope that he's right. As we walked up to the door step all of the voices stopped the house was completely quiet, this made me even more nervous, oh crap! Now Luke's opening the door, and holding it out for me. I step forward into a classic white room it looks so open, in the back of the room there's a large wall completely made of glass, the glass wall was overlooking a large forest that just added to the beauty of the room.
At first I only saw Mr. Cullen; he was standing next to a platform for a grand piano. Mr. Cullen looked good as always, but his eyes were slightly less honey gold and more of a squash brown, when he saw me his eyes brightened a bit and said, "Oh Lily! It's so nice to see you again! How have you been?""I'm alright, thank you for asking. It's so nice to see you too Dr. Cullen!" I said with cheer not trying to show my nervousness. Then he replied ,"Please, call me Carlisle, I think we've known each other long enough for a first name basses." I smiled and said, "All right then. So Carlisle how have you been?"He chuckled and said, "I've been ok nothing to complain about, and you?""I've been great !" He smiled and said, "That's great, I hope that my son behaved himself while he was helping you.""Oh, Luke was great! Quite the gentlemen may I add ! He did most of the heavy lifting. He's the main reason that we finished so quickly." Carlisle's smile widened as he said, "I'm so glad that he was such a help to you. Usually he spends his time reading or playing his violin, it's nice that he actually got out to do something else."I was shocked and then turned to Luke and ask, "You play the violin?""Yes, he does and very well may I add." said Carlisle, before Luke could even answer. Esme now coming into the room in a short, light lavender dress that formed to her body perfectly, her hair was put into a side pony tail that curved around her neck elegantly, she smiled at me kindly and said, "It's very nice to see you again Lily.""It's very nice to see you as well, Mrs. Cullen." She looked at me again and said, "Please Lily call me Esme, I know that we've only known each other for a short time but I much rather you call me Esme.""Oh, I'm so sorry. Did I offend you? I just wasn't sure whether or not you preferred being called or Esme." She put her hand up to stop me and said, "No, no, it's alright, you didn't offend me I just wanted to let you know.""Oh ok, so Esme have you been well?""Yes very, thank you!" she said with a grateful smile. I was then greeted by Jasper and Emmett both of whom were happy to see me, Emmett getting a little ahead of himself came running at me and picked me up in a big bear hug. I couldn't breathe he was squeezing me so tight, I could feel Luke's hand in mine tighten, I got really nervous, I don't know why but I was scared. After I collected enough air, I croaked out, "Can't breathe!" Emmett looked at me and said, "Oh! Sorry! Lily! I didn't mean to crush you." He looked repentant as he set me down, so he was automatically forgiven and I said, "Wow, so it's not just Luke who has the super strength!" They all looked at me with shock washing over all of their faces; they stared at me not moving, not even breathing, just like statues. They all froze, except for Luke who was by my side still holding my hand. After there was a long moment of silence I decided to break it be saying, "I guess you guys must lift weights a lot... Right!" I looked to Luke to see if he got it, thankfully he did and said, "Oh yeah Emmett, Jasper, Edward and I lift weights all the time! Sometimes Carlisle comes too." "That sounds fun. Must hurt in the morning though.""Yeah it does.""I'm sure you do other things as a family." I said trying to change the subject, but sadly my attempt was futile when Carlisle asked me, "How did you know about Luke's strength?""Um, it's a pretty long story and half of it I was unconscious." They looked at me again in shock; I gave up and said, "I bet Luke will tell you everything about it when I leave. Is that ok? Would you rather I left now? Luke we could always study some other time during the week." I was so flustered, this whole meeting the family isn't turning out as well as I had hoped. Then Edward came from behind Emmett, he was tall, boyishly muscular, had bronze hair, golden eyes, and was exceedingly beautiful (Not as beautiful as Luke, but still Beautiful), he then came to stand right in front of me, he began to scrutinize my face and looked deep within my eyes intently as if he was listening to something... he was looking so intently it looked like he was trying to read my mind? I was curious so I thought to myself 'I don't know what's going on but I really don't care...If something is going on then I won't pry or anything I'll just make up excuses or I'll ignore it completely'. Edward's face smoothed and he began to smile at me and said, "I'm so glad that you think of it that way Lily." I was confused for a moment and then I smiled at the success of the experiment and said, "Well it's none of my business so why should I pry." His smiled widened and then he stepped forward and said, "Hi, we haven't been formally introduced I'm Edward, I am so happy to meet you!" I smiled at his understanding and said, "It's so nice to meet you as well Edward." Then I thought I would test it out again so I thought to myself, 'I hope that we will be good friends Edward.' Edward's smile widened farther than I thought possible and said, "I hope so too." I didn't want to think this comment so I said, "You know that's pretty cool! Whatever that is ... It must be very helpful." "Yes, but also very annoying!" He said shaking his head slowly."I see how that can happen." He smiled again at my understanding. I turned away from Edward to look at everyone else, they all had a dumb founded look on their face as if I had shocked them with a bolt of lightning. I realized how weird it must have been having a mind conversation with Edward in front of everybody. Oh no, not another awkward conversation! Oh, I've had so many today I really don't like awkward silences, they feel so wrong to me that I always get squeamish, it's a very unsettling feeling. I then thought to myself again saying, 'Edward I'm sorry for asking this but I need you to make up an excuse so that Luke and I can leave and study, I can meet everyone else later, but I really can't handle any more awkward conversations for today! Please! I'm so sorry!' Edward nodded and said, "Hey Luke weren't you and Lily going to study for a test! Maybe you two should get started; she'll get to meet everyone else later.""Good idea Edward!" said Luke with a grateful smile. I smiled at Edward and thought, ' Edward I owe you so much ! I don't care if I just met you but you are so awesome! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!' He smiled and said, "Anytime!" Finally Luke and I were alone. I felt so relieved that it was just the two of us. Luke led me into a white room with one wall made of glass overlooking a brook and then there was a big pile of CD's from every genre, and every year, it was pretty dare I say it, awesome. I turned to Luke looking into his eyes and then sighed saying, "Wow you sure like music. Is this your room?""Actually this used to be Edward's room; I kept his collection mainly because we have pretty much the same taste in music.""Speaking of music, Carlisle said something about you playing the Violin? Oh! I hear that you play it pretty well!" He looked down shyly and said, "I may play...a little." I smiled at him because I knew this would make him really happy, after a while my smile got wider and wider until Luke had to ask, "What's making you so happy?""Well ...I don't know if you know this already, but my favorite instrument just so happens to be the Violin!" Lucky for me I was right, the moment I said it his eyes got brighter he smiled my favorite excited smile and said, "Well in that case would you like to hear it?" I got excited now, I love the violin ever since I was little the violin was always my favorite and always will be. I love how the player can make its music so passionate, or they could fill it with sorrow, he could fill it with all the happiness of the world just in one smooth motion across the strings. Luke already had his Violin out before I could even answer but I said it anyway, "Yes, I would love to hear you play!'" He smirked a little and asked, "Do you have any requests?"I thought about it for a moment and said, "Gavotte!""But that's so easy?" he said with a sour tone, I bet he wanted to show off, but I countered his sourness with, "But Gavotte is one of my favorite songs! It's so lively and happy it just makes me want to smile." His eyes brightened and then said, "Gavotte it is!" and without a moment to lose he began playing, the way he moved his fingers across the neck of the instrument was like a Irish jig the way his fingers danced light and short, it was beautiful in it of itself, but the music was absolutely amazing it made me feel so happy! The music was smooth and melodic and then in a minute it was short and to the point, he made the music move me and I could see from his own facial expressions that he seemed to enjoy it just as much as I did. After the song was over he looked at me for a second and then was at my side asking, "Lily are you alright? What's wrong?" That was when I realized that I had been crying, Luke whipped the tears from my eyes as I said, "Oh nothing is wrong... it's just that you play so wonderfully, I couldn't help but cry, I was so happy!" He smiled at me his eyes softening and once more he pulled me into a gentle embrace that made me almost swoon, the smell of fall engulfed me again as the cold arms wrapped around me, once more in a lovely kind of way. All I wanted was to stay that way forever, in his cold strong arms and to feel the comfort of this embrace forever. Friends can hug...right ! I hug my friends all the time... but then again I never feel like staying there forever...maybe I should stop this before we get to far...then again maybe not. He was still holding me when we heard a light knock on the door. I quickly pulled away from him as the door began to open, it as the small pixie haired girl that kept staring at me at school. As she entered the room she asked in her bell voice, "Am I interrupting something?" I looked at Luke his face looked calm but I could sense that he wasn't happy about her disturbing us, he looked at me smiled and said, "Lily this is my sister Alice, Alice this is my... friend Lily." Alice smiled at me and said, "It's wonderful to finally meet you I've heard so much about you!" "Really?" I asked with a smile, Luke looked at me shyly and then looked at Alice and said, "So what do you want?"Alice shrugged and said, "I just got home and I heard that we had a visitor...I was just coming to say hello.""Well it's very nice to officially meet you Alice!" She smiled at me flashing her perfectly white teeth. After a slight pause Luke said, "Well Alice we were just about to do some studying so is there anything else that you came here to do?""No, not really ...hey Lily later do you might want to hang out?" I smiled at her and said, "Sure, I'd love to! " Alice smiled and said quite gleefully, "Ok, well I'll leave the two of you alone to studying." Then she danced out of the room ever so gracefully out of the room. I turned back to Luke and said, "Well I believe we haven't even started studying... To be honest I know the book threw and threw. I highly doubt that you have to study.""Your right but we could never be too careful... but let's just saw for arguments sake that we wouldn't study, what else would you have in mind?""Well you still haven't told me your point of view on Pride & Prejudice.""Oh, yeah I haven't have I ?" he said with a mocking smirk then added, "But we need to start studying!""Think of it this way, your summery of the story will be a form of studying." "Why do you want to know so badly?" "I want to know because... I value your opinion." I said, as persuasively as I could. He smirked at my feeble attempt and said, "Ok, but you asked for it; I think that the story is mostly about misunderstanding, Love, and how one person is perceived.""Huh...""What?""Well I just thought it would be a little longer then that! I'm a little disappointed." he looked sad so I quickly added, "But it's short, and right to the point. You know you sort of remind me of Mr. Darcy. ""Really? How so?" Luke now intrigued leaned forward. I blushed slightly and said, "Well you act like a gentlemen as I've said before, your trust worthy, and quite the hero in dyer situations. Just like Mr. Darcy." He looked at me, his eyes smoldering and growing warmer by the minute he then took my hand and said, "You know you remind me of Elizabeth Bennett ." I stared into his eyes and said breathlessly, "How so?"His face came so close to mine that I could feel his cold breath on my face, the scent of it made me a little dizzy, it was so sweet and delicious that it drew me closer to him as he said, "Well Lily, you're smart, clever, curious, polite, stubborn, kind, and extremely Beautiful kind of like Elizabeth...Except better! You're so wonderful it's almost impossible to compare you to anything..."I blushed a bright red and looked at the floor. Luke saw my reaction and said, "It's true you know! You are the most amazing person that I've ever met, and believe me I've met a lot of people!" I looked up into his eyes , they were sincere! I couldn't believe it, how could someone so beautiful and perfect as him even consider a person like me to be... beautiful? I blushed again at the thought, "Luke your just saying that to be nice.""No I'm really not! You are amazing! The more I learn about you the more wonderful you get! The more wonderful you get the more I want to do this!" He then leaned forward and kissed me, earnestly, and gently, as his cool lips moved over mine I could feel his hands wrapping around me as he pulled me closer to him, I could feel my own lips moving across his and my own arms wrapping around his torso as I pulled him closer. The feeling of his cold skin on mine was like electricity it ran through me like a current all over my body. I couldn't breathe! I actually couldn't breathe! I started to suffocate so I tried to pull away but he just held me tighter so I tried again but he held me in an iron grip. There was no way that I was going to move and Luke made sure of it. I was running out of the last air that I had left when I thought of my conversation I had with Edward, I didn't know exactly how this whole mind thing works but it's my only choice, so I began to think in hopes that he would listen I thought, 'Edward please help! I'm suffocating! Come quick! ' I heard a sound coming from down stairs and in only a few seconds I saw Edward at the door. He was by my side in a flash as he began to unhinge me from Luke, I have to admit that I really didn't want to leave him but I needed to breath so I gave no fight against it, when my lips were finally released from his, I gasped in a breath of air as I fell to the ground I couldn't move for a few minutes all I wanted to do was breath. As I looked up I could see Edward and Luke staring at each other, both were in defensive crouches I didn't understand, I was still a bit light headed from the kiss. Then Edward said, "I'm sorry but you would have killed her if i hadn't intervened.""How do you know!" growled Luke "I know because she told me! She was asking me to intervene." Luke looked at me for a moment, and then he straightened up and came to my side saying, "Oh Lily, I'm so sorry! Oh, how could I have done that! I forced myself on you! I can't even begin to think how much you must hate me!" I looked at his warm sorrow filled eyes and said, "Luke! I don't hate you! It takes two to kiss and I for one was defiantly kissing back! The reason why I was pulling away from you was because I couldn't breathe! That's why I called Edward.""I'm sorry Lily, I just got so frustrated that you couldn't see how much I liked you, so I decided to show you! " I smiled and said, "Oh, you showed me alright! I just don't know how you could feel that way towards me. I'm so plain so... normal and you're so amazing so fantastic..." Edward then said, "Lily you really can't see yourself."Luke added, "Edward is right you have so many outstanding qualities that there's too many to count!" I then thought all these things through and then said, "I need to go home!" "What?" Luke and Edward asked in unison. I looked down at the floor and said, "I have a lot to think about! I need some time alone to think this through, I'm sorry! " I then stood up and then went for the door, I was stopped by two sets of hands on pair on each arm I turned around to see they're astonished faces and said, "I'm sorry, I'm only human I need time." At this Edward looked at Luke and the both released my arms, I then asked, "Can one of you drive me home?" Edward nodded and headed straight for the door, I followed behind him, as I left the room I could almost feel Luke's sorrow and pain as we left, if there was one thing I hated to do it was to give Luke any sort of pain, so I quickly ran out of the house to the Silver Volvo before the tears could come. As we drove to my house I began to think but before I could think freely I asked, "Edward, could you refrain from listening to my thoughts for the rest of the day...I rather think freely without you saying anything to Luke!"Edward looked at me with kind eyes and said, "Of course." I smiled weakly and thus began my thoughts.
