Bella's POV

“Okay.” I replied straightforwardly. I was aware of something unusual about him all along, and somehow, even under all of the stress, fear, anger and the plethora of other emotions I’ve gone through today, I just knew in the back of my mind that it was something similar to this reality. Every time I imagined that I was in some danger, my primary thoughts consisted of a monster movie… and apparently I was dead on.

Well, bad choice of words.

So here he was, the apparent love of my life that I couldn’t remember, ‘dazzling’ me as I had explained it in my journal, informing me that he was a member of the supernatural world, and somehow, all I could do was accept it happily. It was time to change the subject.

“So… reading minds, huh?”

“Yes. And speaking of, your father has just made his up to check on you.” I groaned, aggravated. I forgot about having dinner with him and now I wasn’t really concerned with it anymore. Edward was definitely distracting. “Pretend you fell asleep,” he whispered, and before I could bat an eyelid he was gone. I laid down on top of my comforter to act as if I had fallen asleep unintentionally when I finished my shower.

I heard my father march up our flight of stairs, and then my door creaked open. He set something down on the bedside table next to me, and the smell of pizza hit me like a ton of bricks. Immediately my stomach turned with hunger and I had to prevent myself from grabbing the whole plate and shoving it down my throat. He sighed and turned my light off, and as soon as the door shut behind him, I sat up, set the dish in my lap and forced a huge bite of pepperoni and mushroom into my mouth.

It felt like heaven.

Edward came out while I was chewing impolitely and I was sure that I blushed, but I just couldn’t help myself… I probably could have eaten my own hand at this point. He chuckled when he saw my face.

“I apologize from keeping you from your dinner Bella.”

“Ish o-ay,” I said with my mouth full. Immediately I was embarrassed again, but I couldn’t think about anything else except taking another bite of my heaven sent dinner. Although I was extremely focused on eating, I was still incredibly aware of exquisite Edward. He sat down next to me and relaxed with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed at the ankles.
