“Hey! Where’s Alice?” I asked as I met Edward by the passenger side of his Volvo.

“She won’t be riding with us today,” he stated as if it were no big deal. “Today is all about you and me.”

Little did I know, he wasn’t lying a single bit.

The drive to school was slower than usual and he watched me the entire time. When I asked about the change in behavior, he said it was because he wanted to see me as much as possible, and school could wait. I chuckled inwardly, pleased but embarrassed by the new attention.

At school, I was escorted to every class and seen to my seat. Edward would carry my books, pull out my chair, push me in, get out my supplies, and cater to any and everything I could possibly need. The stares I was getting from everybody made me a bit insecure. The glares from Mike were laughable.

During lunch, I was seated at a table to myself and Edward rushed to buy one of everything for us. Of course, I knew he wasn’t going to eat anything, so it only made the attention worse.

After school, Edward drove slowly again and I figured if I asked it would be the same reason as this morning. When we did reach the house, his beautiful honey-colored eyes held mine. Unable to turn away, I just sat in the car dumbly for a while until he came around to open my door. I was walked inside and kissed goodbye.

Overwhelmed by the newfound attention, I dragged myself up to my room and lied down for a break. After a quick nap, I managed to pull myself together and finish homework. When visiting hours arrived, Edward didn’t miss a beat in ringing the bell.

Despite the long day, I was excited to see him and practically fell on my way downstairs. A grinning, messy bronze-haired, pale face greeted me, pulling me into a strong embrace. I breathed in deeply, wanting to take in as much as I could, including the delicious scent surrounding me.

We cuddled on the couch, wrapped in each other’s arms, watching the TV. but not really understanding what was going on. Today was pleasant, yet horribly embarrassing at the same time. Sitting here, together, just us, was the best thing in the world – enjoying his comforting embrace, smiling up at his beautiful face, breathing in his delicious scent.
