Chapter 17 (-EPOV- Captivated Cullen -)
She's so adorable as she blurts out her reply. "Why would you want to do that?" Then she gasps, eyes wide, and slaps her hands to her mouth in shock.
I chuckle and remain standing because I haven't been invited to sit. "Honestly? I couldn't help but feel this attraction to you yesterday, so I was hoping I would find you here again today."
I study her to determine what her reaction to my brashness will be, but yet again she surprises me ."You feel it too?"
She's blushing, much the same as yesterday.
"What is wrong with you? Get a grip!" I hear her start to mumble to herself.
She puts her palms to her eyes, lets out a shaky breath, looks up and starts to ramble, "God, I'm sorry. I don't know what has gotten into me today. Please, have a seat. Can we start over? Hi, Edward, I am pleased to meet you. I am so attracted to you that your beautiful green eyes haunt me in my sleep."
She gasps with wide eyes once again. I bite my lip, trying to suppress the huge smile trying to break free; I can't remember the last time I've been so captivated.
Sitting down in the booth, I decide that being forward has its rewards.
I reach over to grab her hand, the pull I have felt over the past twenty-four hours intensified, and my response to her is much more quiet than intended."Well then, Bella, with that settled I would like to get to know you better. May I take you out?"
Just then, the Pixie on wheels interrupts the moment. "I have a much better idea. We're celebrating Bella's graduation by going to the Bloodthirsty Leeches concert tonight, and I have an extra ticket. Why don't you join us, Eddie?"
