2 weeks prior.
"Hi," her voice said softly, lifting her eyes to meet his.
He said nothing in return. His eyes pierced hers before sweeping slowly over her outfit. Bella wore a baby pink strapless mini dress, her feet bound in raspberry satin stilettos. Her nails and toes were neatly French manicured. With a long, slender neck and wavy mahogany hair that flowed down her back half up, half down. She was clean, and he liked that.
Edward couldn't help but stare, and in his state of arousal, he failed to notice how uncomfortable Bella was feeling.
Bella knew she looked fucking delectable, but this was a whole other level. She felt victimized by his stare, and the longer the silence grew, the more the hairs on the back of her neck stood up.
What the actual fuck? She thought, bringing her hands to her neck for comfort.
"Hey!" Bella said firmly. "My eyes are up here! Are you going to say anything?"
Delicious, ravishing, gorgeous—Edward's thoughts were cut off by her voice. His eyes cut to hers.
"What?" he spat.
Bella frowned. "What?! What do you mean, what?! Fuck you, I'm leaving!" Grabbing her satin raspberry purse (to match her heels because if Bella is anything, it's practical), she stood quickly, her thin hourglass frame highlighted in the lamp light, and Edward was mesmerized. Even in her anger, Edward ingested it like a parasite. He would take her in any way he could.
Bella turned and left quickly, her heels clacking behind her. She almost sprinted to the front door of La Bella Italia, jerked open the door, and headed across the street to her old red, beat-up truck. A stark contrast to her near-perfect image. But this truck was one of the last things she had of Charlie. This was his baby, and he cared for it deeply.
Hoping in quickly, she locked the door immediately, took off her heels, put the keys in the ignition, and Bella was off. As she took off, she took a quick glance to her left, looking inside the restaurant. Her heart jumped in her chest when she saw Edward just … standing there at the window, watching.
Mine. He thought.
An: hope you enjoyed! Just FYI, this story will be a slow update. I find myself changing my mind about what should happen frequently hahaha even though I absolutely know how it's going to end. Lmk what you think of this Edward. Also, this Bella is strong; she needs to be ;). All mistakes are mine.
