Chapter 11
BPOV
On Monday morning as I got ready for school I felt like a completely different person. I was dressing differently. Instead of my usual boring clothes with my hair in a ponytail, today I had my hair hanging loosely past my shoulders and I wore clothes that almost matched Edwards' style. I put on a little bit of make-up. Not much, just eyeliner, mascara and red lipstick. When I was done I looked at myself and smiled
Monday was a new day. A wonderful day. I was wearing the new clothes I bought – the one's Alice didn't approve of. Apparently they were 'too dark'. Whatever, I liked them. And when I got to school, Edward seemed to like them too. I found him walking down the hall toward the end of lunch. I tapped him on his shoulder to get his attention.
"Hey Edward," I said smiling as he turned around. His eyes widened when he saw me. I batted my eyelashes at him.
"Wow," he said sounding a bit surprised. A smirk fell onto his lips. "Like the new look, Izzy."
"Thought you would," I said feeling more confident.
The bell then rang signalling the end of lunch.
Edward was about to start walking to class but I stopped him. "Let's skip class today," I said with my own smirk.
Edward raised an eyebrow at me. "Am I turning you into a bad-ass?" he asked with a sense of pride.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe," I said innocently and turned around to walk outside. Edward soon followed after me.
30 minutes later I found myself just talking with Edward. We were sitting on the couch in his living room. He was asking me questions and I was answering them. Soon I was telling him all about my life. And he was listening. I was surprised to find that underneath Edward's tough exterior, he was really sweet and kind.
"Why do you love learning so much? Doesn't it ever get boring?" Edward asked me curiously as he took a sip of his drink. We were sharing a Smirnoff. I didn't plan on drinking more but I guess you never know what might happen.
I thought about his question for a few seconds. "I don't really know, honestly. I guess I've just always liked books." I said shrugging.
He raised an eyebrow at me. "Seriously?" he asked bewildered. I smiled and nodded. "Hmm," he looked like he was thinking for a moment.
"What other things do you like? Going out? Partying? Shopping?" he asked like he was trying to find something that would make me seem like not so much of a loser.
I bit my lip knowing that my next words would probably make Edward think I'm the lamest person in the history of ever.
"I'm not the biggest fan of shopping and I don't usually get invited out. But I guess I'd love to. Like, I loved going to Seattle with you. That was fun. And also hanging out at the park. That was cool too." I rambled a bit at the end and looked down blushing.
"You're so..." Edward paused as if trying to find the right word. "Different." he settled with.
I looked up and raised my eyebrow at him. "Different?" I asked incredulously.
"Yeah," he said nodding. I just accepted it. There's nothing wrong with being different, right?
It then became silent. I felt too frigid. I reached over and grabbed the Smirnoff from Edwards hand and chugged down the rest of it. He looked at me astonished but I saw a small smile tug on his lips. Although the Smirnoff wasn't strong at all, it made me feel a bit more confident as I stood up and held my hand out for Edward to take.
"Show me your room?" I asked boldly as I batted my eyelashes at him.
He smirked and grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs to his room.
His room was exactly how I expected it. Messy but not disgustingly messy. It was nice. And there were lots of CD's arranged all over the room. It was cool.
I walked up to his bed and ran my hand across the sheets before sitting down on the edge. I looked up at Edward expectantly who was watching me from the doorway.
"Come sit next to me," I said with a smile and patted the spot next to me.
Without a word he sat down next to me.
"I've talked so much today. Its your turn to talk. Tell me something about your life." I said to him.
He gave me a crooked smile. "You are so lame," he stated bluntly.
I blinked for a few seconds shocked at what he said. I felt offended for a split second until he started chuckling. His laugh was like music to my ears.
"I didn't skip class just to talk," he said honestly.
"Okay, what do you want to do then?" I asked annoyed with myself. Of course he wouldn't want to talk. He's too cool for that. I really think I need to start taking notes about this guy so that I can stop appearing like a complete loser in front of him.
I was too caught up in my own thoughts that I didn't notice when Edward started to lean in. But I sure as hell noticed when his lips connected with mine. How could I ignore it when it felt like a bolt of electricity shot through my body.
This was my first kiss.
I was kissing Edward Masen.
And it was my first kiss.
My first kiss with Edward Masen.
Oh.
My.
Gawd.
Please don't hate me! I know this chapter was really short and crappy but I really thought I owed you guys an update. Sorry it took so long.
