Bella:
"Bella, you look stunning," John gushes, walking over and giving me a quick hug before kissing both my cheeks.
"You're too kind," I reply, gently nudging his shoulder.
"And this would be Edward," John coos, placing his hand suggestively on Edward's arm. Yeah, I soon found out John was gay. And very much in love with Edward.
"Nice to meet you," Edward smiles graciously, extending his arm.
I take the opportunity to observe the area, noticing many people here. My parents have been invited, and I spot them across the room. Most of the people I don't even recognise.
After welcoming my parents, John ushers me behind a stand, where there's a large poster of my book, a stack of books, and a pen. Looks like I'm going to be signing all these copies. Recently, though, Edward and I have been practising my signature. To me, it just looks like a squiggle.
"Everyone, if I could have your attention!" John calls out, standing next to me. "Now, this lovely lady is Isabella Swan, author of the new book, Twinkling Game. I hope you'll all love it as much as I do, but before the signing begins, Isabella would like a few words," John announces.
"Um, well, thank you all for coming, it means a lot to me," I begin, glancing around at all my friends and family in the crowd. Edward's standing next to some people I don't recognise, though I presume they're fellow actors. "This is the first book I've written, and it's been a great passion of mine for many years. I'm overjoyed to be able to have Pearson publish me, and I know I couldn't have done any of this without John."
Cheers radiate through the crowd, and suddenly there's a rush forward as people clamber to get a book with my signature. The books are being given away for free, though there was an entrance charge.
"Isabella! It's such a wonder to finally meet you!" A woman, perhaps a couple of years older than my mother, tells me. I feel like I should know her, but I can't place her.
"Thank you for coming," I smile, hoping I don't give myself away.
"Has my son not told you?" She huffs, before disappearing into the crowd. Returning a few minutes later, she's dragging Edward with her. Wha…
"Sorry Bella," Edward mumbles, looking fully reprimanded. "This is my mother, Esme Cullen."
"Oh! Esme! It's a pleasure to meet you," I smile more fully this time, adding a special note in her signed book.
"I can see you're busy, honey, how about you, me, Edward and Carlisle go out for dinner tonight?" Esme suggests.
I quickly nod, and once again she hurries off. I return to signing people's books, when it suddenly hits me.
I'm about to meet my boyfriend's parents.
A/N: What do you think of the first part of the book signing? :D
