ISABELLA SWAN

Right now, I looked everywhere around us. We were halfway from my house, near the playground. In twilight.

I couldn’t breathe. I never knew he also felt the same way. I felt so happy. And I don’t even know why. Why was I so scared in thinking that he didn’t feel the same way? I wanted to jump and shout at this moment. But it is still all too confusing at the same time. A handsome boy like him, like me. Isabella Swan?

“Bella!” my mom called from the doorway in our house. “Dinner is in a few minutes. Get inside.” Then she looked at Edward, “Hey Edward, say hi to your mother for me”, she smiled.

“Okay Mrs. Swan”, he answered back, politely.

“Mom, give me a few more minutes”, I pleaded.

She hesitates, “All right, just come back before it gets real dark. Or I’d have to go back and get you.” she said with a mother tone. Then she gave a wave at Edward then turned back into the house.

“Edward,” I began, I don’t even know what to say. “Do you really like me?” I choked out before even thinking. Seeing him grinning there looking like an adorable actor, makes hard to believe he is into someone like me.

“Yes, very much”, he smiled, sincere and honesty clear in his eyes. I think my heart stopped beating. “I was thinking…” he looked down and whispered “can I kiss you?” he asked, and then he looked up at me. His eyes were gentle. I was feeling a lot of butterflies in my stomach. Then he started to fidget at his shirt. I guess he was nervous too. And then I found myself leaning in closer to him. He did the same and kissed me lightly on my lips. Then everything was forgotten. I only thought of him. But as soon as we got back to our poses, we got back to reality. But the feeling inside me was still strong. I was like floating on a cloud of happiness. The best feeling I had ever. My first real kiss.

“Bella,” he whispered, “would you like to be my girlfriend?”

“Yes please”, I whispered back with a smile.
