Chapter 21
Bella:
After a very brief conversation with Maggie about Edward, she demanded to meet him immediately. So, we changed our plans. Instead of going to Edward's hotel room first, we are going to mine and Maggie's, so that I can introduce the two.
We travel on trains across Berlin, arriving at the hotel just over half an hour after I ended the phone call with Maggie. We make our way up to my hotel room, with Edward looking just a little bit nervous.
"Just don't tell a lie and you'll be fine," I tell him, having already mentioned Maggie's gift to him.
"Ok. I think I can manage that," Edward says, flashing me a weak smile.
I unlock the hotel room and lead Edward in. Maggie jumps up and runs forward, analysing every inch of Edward. I roll my eyes at her.
"Maggie, this is Edward. Edward, this is Maggie." I give the formal introductions even though they already know lots about the other.
"Nice to meet you," Edward smiles, holding out his hand to Maggie.
"It's lovely to meet you, Edward," Maggie grins widely. I elbow her. "Hey! I'm just being nice!" she protests.
"Maybe a little too nice," I mutter.
The three of us sit down on the two twin beds. I cuddle up next to Edward, resting my head on his shoulder. His arm wraps around me, holding me closer.
Suddenly, Edward bursts out laughing.
"Um?" I frown, confused.
"While your mind might be blank to me, Maggie's is not," Edward says.
"I don't even want to know. It was probably something rude," I say, grimacing.
Maggie just laughs.
"So, Edward, what brings you to Berlin?" Maggie asks.
"I was doing some sightseeing. I've been travelling around Europe, just seeing some things," Edward replies.
We spend the afternoon chatting, all getting to know each other more.
Then, late in the evening, as the sun is setting over Berlin, we begin making our plans regarding Edward's family and how we're going to go about finding them.
