Sofia's (POV)
The past 2 weeks have been great masen has stuck to his word, I've got to know his family a lot better, I've spoken to Masen's mother Bella i explained that i don't want to be a bad influence on her son, Bella laughed and explained that i wasn't a bad influence on Masen she actually thanked me, she said that I've changed him, she explained that ever since he was little he was always the odd one out, out of his brother and sisters and for that he sort of resented them, he developed a more wreckless attitude.
Bella gave me a hug, i couldn't help but feel loved she even said that if my relationship with Masen grows then she said she approved which made me happy. Oh i forgot my ribs and my leg has healed i can move finally! It was nice to run and move again i was finally not the bed's prisoner!.
The only thing that is getting more harder is avoiding the truth, Masen really wants to know and i was so close to telling him the situation with my father, but Masen is the only one that knows about my mother, Carlisle came in yesterday he comforted me saying that if i ever need to talk privately he will listen, just all these gestures make it more hard for me to turn away, i was pulled out my thoughts because the door burst open and in comes Jasper.
"Whoa! A lot of anxiety in this room you okay Sofia?" Uh-oh! I forgot he's empathy. I sighed. "Yeah i'm okay jasper, trust me, just a lot of things on my mind you know?" Jasper winced his eyes, he didn't believe me, i put on a brave face and touched his shoulder as if to reassure him.
"Jazz honestly i'm fine, don't worry about me" Jasper smiled and nodded his head. "Okay Sofia! But you know i'm here if you ever need to talk right?" I like jasper he's just so calm and relaxed the only time i ever see him panic is when Alice is having a vision, but aside from that he's just a really nice, reserved guy.
When Jasper turned to look at me again, i gave him a real goofy grin, if you're wondering why i'm stuck in my room, well you see Masen has planned something big that he doesn't want me to see, any minute now, Alice, Nessie, Lizzie, Leah, Anna and Sam will be bounding in here and right on cue Nessie, Lizzie, Anna and Sam came and tackled me to the floor, ah yeah! The girls introduced me to Sam she is really nice Mase showed me the text message she sent to him i thought it was so nice, she's just a genuinely friendly and funny girl to be around.
Us girls were laughing Nessie and Lizzie rolled off of me while Anna and Sam got themselves tangled between me and Lizzie, Leah somehow wriggled out of this tangled mess and was standing laughing at us. it was a really funny sight it looked like we were playing twister, we was also greeted by Emmett's booming laugh, there at the door Jasper, Edward, Emmett, EJ, Seth and Jake were in the door way with Alice when we were all untangled we all sat on the floor blushing.
"HAHA! You all finished playing twister?" good comeback Emmy. I started glaring at him playfully.
"yeah it was fun Emmy, unfortunately with your size you would have crushed us all" Everyone just erupted into fits of laughter Emmett pouted like a child and stuck his tongue out, it seemed like the whole house heard i heard Esme, Bella and Rose Giggling downstairs. "Don't be jealous sofie! You just know that i could beat you at that game!" Emmy wagged his eyebrows knowing that he could as he's frickin vampire! But whatever i'm half vampire i could kick his ass!. The only thing i could do was stuck out my tongue which only caused everyone to laugh more; Alice was smiling and rolled her eyes.
"Okay! Boys! Sofia needs to get ready now if you won't go out quietly then I'll force you out!" all the boys eyes widened and they all rushed out the door with their tails behind them the one thing I've learned is you never under estimate Alice Cullen she may be small but damn! She can be deadly! Soon enough it was just us girls in my room.
Oh yeah Esme prepared me with a new room, i love it! Two of the walls are lilac, the other two are cream, the carpet is fluffy cream colour with a large purple rug, there's a large dressing table, i have my own en suite bathroom, i have a Jacuzzi bath, steam shower, i have my own walk-in wardrobe thanks to Alice and Nessie, i have a large queen sized 4 poster bed, with purple and white bedding i have a large plasma screen TV above the bed, two side tables on either side of the bed and my own study desk, i just love it!. It's just bright and warm.
Soon enough i was being dragged by none other Anna and Sam they were under direct orders of Alice so i just didn't ask questions, it's just better that way. I was in my bathroom.
"Okay Sofie, Alice wants you to have a shower, Nessie and Lizzie are picking out your outfit, Leah has snuck away to be with EJ... as usual... HAHA, Rose will be up in a few minutes she's going to do your hair, me and Anna are going to do your makeup, guided by Alice of course, so no stress and no asking questions because you know we can't tell you" It really bugged me that everyone in this house knew what Masen was planning apart from me, i hate being kept in the dark, but i guess that's the mystery, but the way these girls were going on like it was a date or something... wait... is it? I mean i wouldn't object if it was but you know would have been nice for me to have a heads up. EUGH. I sighed heavily so then i gave my best puppy dog eyes and pout a trick i learnt off Lizzie, Sam and Anna were giggling until i heard the most scariest voice ever!
"SOFIA WILLIAMS! You are not trying to get information out of Sam and Anna, now get in the shower you're going to be late!" I squeaked, what? Alice is scary when she wants to be. Soon enough i was on my own in the bathroom i locked it, i put my dirty clothes in the washing basket i turned on the water in my shower, when you first see all the dials on the shower it looks majorly confusing but it's not! When i finally got the water to the temperature i wanted i instantly relaxed all my muscles i didn't realise how tense i was feeling, i was feeling really calm, i grabbed my favourite cherry shampoo, and put it all through my hair, mmm! Then I grabbed my favourite vanilla essence body wash I love that smell, 20 minutes later i switched off my shower and grabbed my bath robe, i put my hair in a wet bun, i didn't bother brushing it as rose was going to do it anyway.
I brushed my teeth and washed my face, i then grabbed a smaller towel out of my small cupboard and wrapped it around my tangly wet hair, i unlocked the bathroom door, the TV was on, Nessie and Lizzie were arguing over colours i couldn't help but giggle, Rose was sitting on my bed, she was just so... beautiful!, Sam and Anna were setting out all the makeup on the dressing table the hot curling irons were resting ready to be used the hair dryer was beside it as well, suddenly i felt two cold hands drag me towards the dressing table Alice!.
"Just relax Sofie! We will be done in no time... well when i say no time i mean at least 3 hours!" WHAT?! 3 hours?! ARGH this is torture, Lizzie was stood by my side giving me a smile that said i know how you feel, Nessie and Lizzie finally sorted my outfit and left, it was just Rose, Alice, Sam and Anna in the room, Rose unwrapped the towel off my head and pulled the hair band out my hair, my hair was still soaked, she brushed my hair and started to dry my hair with the hair dryer, with me being half vampire my hair didn't take long to dry, i was watching Rose with Awe through the mirror, as she noticed i was staring she smiled sweetly at me, me and Rose have gotten close she's like a best friend and a sister wrapped into one, i told her how i felt and she was so happy.
"How are you feeling Sofie?" Rose was talking calmly to me knowing i was feeling quite nervous It's only masen! And yet i yearn to see his beautiful face, that side smile that i can't help feel that was only made for me!, the way he wraps his arms around me at night, the cute things he whispers in my ear when he thinks i'm sleeping, it feels like i haven't seen him for months instead of just half a day, i just miss his goofy faces he pulls that just make me laugh, yep! I admit it! I have fallen for Masen Jemmett Cullen! I can't help it!, i'm still not sure if he feels the same way but.. Well.. Maybe i can tell him how i feel today. I smiled but then i realised i haven't answered Rose's question.
"Just a little nervous, god knows what masen's planned for me, and when it comes to Masen planning something you just don't know what you're going to do" All the girls were giggling i was laughing a long with them, there was no more conversation after that Anna, Sam and Alice were doing my makeup it was quite hard to talk, when the girls was done i was just taken aback of who that stranger was in the mirror, I have never worn makeup as i don't know how to put it on but.. for the first time i actually felt beautiful i was wearing a bronze blusher on my cheeks, i had mascara and eyeliner on my eyes i had golden and brown eye shadow with a neutral toned lip gloss, my hair was half up half down with big, loose curls, i was just so fixed in the mirror i just couldn't believe it was me, i turned to look at the girls, everyone just started screaming which deafened me, Alice was bouncing up and down in one spot and clapped her hands, Sam and Anna just stood froze in shock, rose gave me a hug.
"Sofie you look amazing!" I appreciated the girl's efforts i really did so i pulled them all into a group hug they were all laughing and wrapped arms around each other. "Thank you so much guys i appreciate it" They all said in unison. "You're welcome Sofie" the door then suddenly burst open with Nessie and Lizzie with a full on pout and hands on their hips i giggled.
"Hey! We helped too! And Sofie you look HOT! Masen is going to drool!" I started to blush but i ran to them and gave them both tight hugs. "Thanks Ness, Thanks Lizz love you guys!" They were giggling but nodded.
I was then being dragged again apparently it was now 3.00pm and Masen was going to be here in 30 minutes so i had to get changed, i gasped when i saw the outfit it was gorgeous, though Lizzie hates shopping and Nessie has just a major passion for fashion just like her aunt they really outdid themselves since the weather was very warm today i was given a very cute white mini dress that came a couple of inches above the knee, brown, ballerina flat shoes, with a brown leather jacket with a matching gold belt and gold jewellery, it was a really cute outfit, soon enough i was changed and just gasped when i saw myself in the mirror i was just happy that all the girls helped me look like... well... this! I smiled then i heard Alice call me down i looked at the gold watch that Alice got me and it was 3.30, i should be going now.
When i walked down the stairs i didn't take notice of everybody around me, i thanked the compliments but my eyes were stuck on the person that i haven't saw for nearly a day, it does sound really cheesy when i put it like that but when you develop these kind of feelings for somebody then it just seems like a day without that person you care about it seems like a whole year to you, strange i know, Masen had all the guys around him but his eyes were fixed on me, he gave me my favourite side smile, it was funny though cause we sort of matched... this is Alice's doing, Masen looked really... good! His hair didn't need doing as it was already sort of spiked, just how i like it the sun was shining so i could see the mahogany brown tint in his dark bronze hair, he was wearing a white shirt with brown lining on the shirt i liked the fact that you could see his muscles through it, he wore dark jeans and brown shoes.
I was just so fixated by his looks that i realised i was staring at him... well drooling i started to blush as everyone was starting to notice, alice finally spoke. "Well... Sofie what do you think?" Alice was expecting an answer which i had no idea for, Edward started to chuckle i was just so confused so Edward answered for me. "Alice... Sofie hasn't been listening she's been... pretty occupied" I gasped then playfully glared at Edward and he chuckled and gave me his crooked smile.. that's where lizzie gets her smile from then. "EDWARD!".
Alice started to pout playfully everyone laughed and shook their heads, me and masen gave everyone a hug and told them we'd see them later, Nessie and all the girls wanted details, of course! As me and Mase made our way to his car, he opened the door for me.. Such a gentleman and me having no clue where were actually going i wasn't sure if i was overdressed or.. What! I looked at masen at the exact same time as him and we both just smiled at each other.
"You look beautiful Sofie, i haven't been able to keep my eyes off of you" I blushed and suddenly grabbed his hand, i missed that smile, i missed his touch! I was happy now.
"Thanks Mase, you look very dashing yourself if i must say!" It was Masen's turn to blush i couldn't help but chuckle. "Thanks now do you want to know where i'm taking you?" My eyes widened i shook my head so fast that i thought my head was to come off my shoulders Mase smiled evilly.
"Well too bad it's a surprise; i just hope it all goes well. By the way... this is..Um my way of... taking you out on a date.. But i mean if you wanted to?... i don't know.. Um or if you preferred just going out as friends... i'll be more than happy DAMMNIT WHY IS IT SO HARD TO TALK TO YOU!" I smiled, wow Masen is really nervous but I'd be more than happy to go on a date with him, my feelings are just too deep to be just friends and i'm sure he's lying.
"Masen.. Calm down i'm sure it will be perfect, just relax okay! I don't care where i am just as long as your here with me!, i don't care about all the fancy shmancy stuff, i mean I'd be happy to just watch a movie with you and think it was the best day of my life" Masen looked really shocked but i wasn't ashamed i meant every word i just hope this hasn't complicated things but from what i can gather this just made Masen happy he grabbed my hand and kissed it and started the engine.
Finally we were in perfect silence there didn't have to be conversation, the only sound that was floating around the car was Masen's songs at the moment Clair de Lune- Debussy was playing a loud it was just such a beautiful piece of music, me and Masen were exchanging smiles every now and then and i could see he was growing more and more nervous, then i started thinking where we was going, at the moment forest was all we could see we were on a small trail until we had to stop and walk the rest of the way we didn't have to worry about the car getting stolen the area we was in was secluded.
I was grabbing onto Masen's arm careful to not fall, because i can be quite clumsy now and again, Masen was guiding us through the forest we wasn't running we were taking our time and just taking everything that nature had to offer us, the sun was beaming and mine and Masen's skin was glowing which just enhanced on Masen's beauty i gasped a bit he just looked... beautiful, we didn't talk for a while until Masen broke the silence with his dazzling, beautiful voice.
"Were here!" Masen grabbed my hand and i gasped so much! I have never seen so much beauty i was standing in a meadow there were rare flowers growing, there was a stream not far it was just so... beautiful! I turned to look at Masen who was just smiling.
"Masen, WOW, this place is so beautiful! Where on earth did you find this place?"
"Actually i wasn't the one that found this place... my father did, when he moved from Alaska and he was the one that was on his own... he stumbled across this place and used it as he getaway hide outs, but when he met my mother... it sort of became their meadow and when me and my brother and sisters were young they used to take us here and play.. i haven't been here for a while but... i spoke to Alice and she said she saw a vision of us here... Do you like it?" Are you kidding me! I love it!.
"Mase. It's perfect thank you for bringing me here!" Masen smiled, exhaled really loudly and nodded. "You're welcome i'm glad you like it... oh and with my mom and grandma's help they toke the liberty of preparing us a picnic hamper, as I'm aware you haven't eaten" As soon as he said that my stomach started to growl which caused us both to laugh.
"Does that answer your question?" i raised my eyebrows and i giggled again, the picnic hamper was full of lots of goodies that Esme and Bella prepared, there was Macaroni and Cheese, there were two bottles full of blood and some chocolate brownies with a tub of chocolate ice-cream. Masen had laid out a blanket with the picnic hamper on it, me and masen shared everything out equally and started eating, this date was just perfect, in the middle of eating Masen spoke up.
"Did you really mean what you said earlier?" i was confused. "What do you mean?"
"I mean what you said in the car, about you not caring where you are as long as your with me, did you mean that?" A smile crept onto my face i could see worry and hope in his eyes.
"Yeah! I meant every word, over the last couple of days things have changed dramatically, i'm going to be honest i went from hating you to... really liking you... we have a lot of things in common, our personalities are just so alike, but as i said before i wouldn't care where i am, as long as i'm with you then it doesn't matter but i do appreciate you taking me here, this is really personal and i'm glad that you shared this with me." Masen looked relieved and happy, i'm glad he's happy when he's happy i'm happy and that's the god honest truth.
"I'm really glad that you feel that way, Sofie... i really am, and you are a really an amazing girl. I admit from the first time i saw you in chemistry.. i was stunned, i never taken an interest in any girl but you! I was just so taken aback by you, i thought you were the most beautiful girl i have ever seen, just within the space of 5 minutes of talking to you, i had become so infatuated by you and when the accident happen just made me realise just.. how much you mean to me.
what i'm trying to say is Sofie... that i... love you.. If you don't feel the same i understand but i just cant ignore how strong my feelings are for you-" I didn't know what happened but i just kissed him! My heart was kicked up a few notches i could taste him on my lips, we were moving in perfect sync, my lips fit into his perfectly Masen had stopped with his babbling and had pulled me tighter we finally got some air, i blushed crimson.
"I-I i'm sorry i didn't know what happened but i was just so happy that you felt the same way-." Masen Chuckled really loud. "So you decided to attack my lips?" this only caused me to blush even more, Masen stroked my cheeks from where my cheeks were burning.
"It's okay Sofie, i know i should have told you, but i was just so scared that you may not have felt the same way but i just needed to tell you how i felt before i did something stupid" I understood and nodded.
"I understand, i'm glad you told me.. so what does this mean?" Masen pretended to think and smiled, he pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around me and kissed my hair and inhaled in my scent.
"This means my dear little Sofie that i am yours... if you will have me?" I couldn't think of anything better, i turned around kissed his cheek and nodded. "Masen Cullen of course you silly half vampire!" this caused us both to laugh, i turned back around and i leaned the back of my head on his chest, i just let out a sigh of bliss, listening to his thrumming heartbeat, my life couldn't get any better than this, i have a boyfriend, a family that loves me and who i love dearly and friends i would seriously die for. What else could i possibly need?
I wasn't sure how long me and mase were sat like this for, but the sun was setting and it was starting to get dark me and mase were lying down on the blanket the forest was quiet me and mase were just staring deep into each other's eyes, i was looking at his eyes closely his eyes were a very light brown and had very unusual gold flecks across his eyes, but that only added to his beauty, he was just a spit image of Edward but with darker hair and bulkier.
"I love your eyes, to me your eyes are your most dominant feature" I smiled, i loved my eyes too they were so unique and knowing nobody else had this specific eye colour which only made me feel more blessed.
"Thanks, i like your eyes to, the gold flecks in your eyes are really unusual but it only adds to your beauty..." I blushed as i realised what i said, but it's hard to not be honest he has this way of making people so comfortable around him it's just hard, Masen gave me the side smile i was dazed a little bit. "I see i have that effect on you to! HAHA" I smiled and pretended to not know what he was on about. "don't know what you mean" Suddenly i was swooped into Masen's arms it was so quick that i was a little bit dizzy.
"Don't pretend... i make you go all gooey don't i? My dad has that effect with my momma, so i know when someone is dazed when i see it" I couldn't help but laugh. "Even if you did so what?" I tried to sound like it wasn't that much of a big deal but trust me it was! He has a major effect on me that he doesn't know about.
But masen got so close to my face our lips were inches away from touching and my breath just hitched, which only caused him to prove his point. He pulled away which only caused me to pout. "Your teasing me!" Masen belted out a loud laugh. "Don't know what you mean!" now that's just not fair so i had to intervene and so i started to purr i could see his body shake a little bit OH so i'm not the only one who can be dazzled then. Masen turned to look at me i was inches away from his lips again i could feel his heart thump twice as fast as mine, he was trembling a bit i blew on his lips which caused him to shake.
But then i gave him an evil smile and jumped out of his arms and ran off into the forest back to the car i was laughing while running i heard a belted laugh and not long after Masen caught up with me he gave me an evil smile he tried to grab me but then i jumped up and started going through the trees i could hear his protests from below which only caused me to run faster.
Eventually when Masen got to the car where i was already waiting he started pouting like a little child. "That's not fair, you teased me!".
"HAHA! Awe. I'm sorry" Masen gave that evil smile again then i was suddenly moved forward and into his arms what the? Then i realised that Masen was controlling my mind! Two can play that game so i turned invisible i didn't cut off my scent but he started to panic.
"Sofie? What the? Where are you?" I didn't answer but i walked up behind him then i reappeared. "I'm over here!" which caused Masen to jump out of his hard skin i was on the floor laughing. "It's not funny, you scared me!"
"Well you shouldn't have tried to control my mind!" Masen rolled his eyes, then wrapped into a hug and started kissing my head. "Will that do? To prove I'm sorry" I shook my head. "Nope! Going to have to try harder than that" Masen then kissed my cheek. "What about that?" I smiled and shook my head again. "Nope" Masen then kissed my nose.
"Now?" I giggled and shook my head, "Nope try again" Masen then realised what i was saying so then he leaned down so then i tiptoed and we both kissed our scent was swirling around us, our lips were in perfect sync again, i wrapped my arms around his neck his arms were wrapped around my waist, mine and masen's hearts were strumming three times as fast, i could feel him smile but i wanted more, i didn't want to break the closeness and it was clear Masen didn't want to either but when we finally caught our breath.
"Come on! You've got to forgive me now! Actually i don't need to apologise for controlling my girlfriends mind for hugs!" It was ages that i was genuinely smiling, it has been so long that i forgot how to.. all my life i had been living in the dark and now since meeting masen, him taking care of me when i was at my most vulnerable, him holding me through the nights when i was scared of the nightmares him bringing me here on our first date, it was all because of him he's brought the smile i have on my face and i couldn't be more than grateful because he's shone the light, got rid of the darkness and now i feel confident enough to tell my family the truth and the whole truth about me.. Because i'll have masen there.
