"Do I know you from somewhere?" She asked and I froze, tensing up. Now how the hell was I supposed to answer that? Only half of it.
"Um, well, you might recognize my voice?" I answered.
"You're voice?" her brow furrowed on her forehead.
"I'm kind of part of a pretty big band." I smiled at her.
"Oh yeah? What's it called?"
I grinned at her. "Sweet Affairs."
Her mouth dropped. "No." She gasped.
"Yeah." I nodded and set her omlet down infront of her.
"What do you do?"
"Sing."
She stopped mid bite. "You're joking right?"
"No." I laughed and sat down infront of her.
"Could you play me something?" She asked sweetly.
"Of course." I nodded and got my guitar from the living room. "What do you want to hear?"
"Surprise me." She smiled.
I plucked a few notes and started to strum.
"My head is stuck in the clouds. She beggs me to come down says 'Boy, quit fooling around'. I told her 'I love the view from up here. The warm sun, and wind in my ear. We'll watch the world from above, as it turns to the rhythum of love.
"We may only have tonight. But till' the morning sun you're mine. All mine. Play the music low, and swing to the rtythum of love.
"My heart beats like a drum. A guitar string to the strum. A beautiful song, to be sung. She's got brown eyes deep as the see, that roll back when she's laughing at me. She rises up, like the tide, the moment her lips meet mine.
"We may only have tonight. But till' the morning sun you'r mine. All mine. Play the music low, and swing to the rhythum of love. Oh, play the music low, and swing to the rhythum of love."
She smiled. "It's so much better live."
"Why thank you." I nodded and placed my guitar back on it's stand.
"So who's the girl you were singing about?"
"This..girl..I met. A long time ago."
"Oh." She nodded. "Was she pretty?"
"Beautiful." I smiled.
"Do you miss her?"
"I did." I confessed. "But I don't have to anymore."
She smiled and nodded.
"Would you like to do something with me today?" I blurted.
"Sure." She took a drink of her water. "Um, you would have to let me go home and shower, change, and get all dolled up for you." She smirked.
"Fair enough. When you're finshed I will drive you home."
"Thank you." She smiled slightly and finished her breakfast.
I dropped her off at a large three story house.
"This you're place?"
"No." She shook her head and laughed. "My best friend. Rosalie Hale."
"The model?"
"Yup."
"Nice." I nodded. "Well, I will pick you up at 2?"
"Sounds great." She nodded and climbed out of the car. She closed the door giving me a cute wave before I drove off.
"Rose!" I called out as I entered her house. "Rose! I know you're here! Your car is sitting in your driveway."
She came bounding down the stairs in a sports bra and shorts. "Sorry. I was working out. What do you want Swan?"
"Hello to you too. I have a date at 2."
She spit out the swig of water she had taken. "Shut the hell up! Bella Swan is going out on a date?"
I rolled my eyes. "Why is that so hard to believe."
"Because the last guy I saw you talking to was Jacob and that was almost a year ago." Rose shrugged. "So who's the guy?"
"Edward Cullen." I smiled.
"Shut the hell up, again!" She yelled. "Edward-freaking-Cullen? Bella Swan is going out on a date with Edward Cullen!"
"Oh my God." I sighed. "I'm going to wait in the bathroom while you call Alice." I sighed.
"Kay."She waved me off typing Alice's number into her cell.
I walked up the double stair case and up to the top floor where Rose's master suit was. I flipped on the tv in her bathroom and searched the channels, waiting for Alice and Rose to come upstairs.
"I'm here!" Alice walked through the door rolling two suit cases behind her.
"Alice what are those?" I pointed behind her.
"This one is make up." She shook the left one. "This on is hair stuff and your outfit." She smiled setting them down and unzipping them.
"Awesome." I whispered to myself.
I let Alice pluck, wax, and pull on my face while Rose brushed, straightened and shined my hair. I'm not sure how long I sat there letting them torcher me but I was greatful when it was finally over.
"Okay!" Alice chirped. Yes...chirped. "You're finished!"
I got up and walked to Rose's over sized mirror to inspect the dammage and was pleasently surprised. They didn't make me look like a hooker this time. "Wow." I smiled. "You guys did awesome." My hair, straighted, went down to the middle of my back and turned under slightly. My make up was very light-as it should be in March- and my lips was stained a light pink. I hated gloss.
"I know." Rose smiled. "Edward is going to love it, too."
"Edward?" Alice asked. "That's the guys name?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Edward Cullen!" Rosalie yelled.
Alice let out a long gasp. "No!"
"Yes!" Rose smiled and nodded.
"Ohmygawd! Bella! How in the hell?"
I shrugged. "I met him last night."
"Oh, so that's where you went off to." Rose smiled knowingly.
"It wasn't like that. He said he wasn't the 'taking advantage type'."
"Awww." They both jutted out their lip.
"Yeeah. Well I gotta' go. Thank you guys." I huged them and made my way down stairs.
"Call us later!" Alice yelled.
"We was details!" Rose added.
Oh, my friends. Sure enough, as soon as the time on my phone said 2:00 pm, Edward pulled up in the driveway. I bit my lip when I saw him strech out of his car. I swear it was like a movie. He was in a white button up shirt and khakis with brown leather flipflops. The top few buttons on his shirt were opened, making me just want to-
"Bella." He greeted. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you. So do you." Was my oh so brillant come back.
He chuckled and I blushed. "Thank you, as well." He looked over my shoulder and smiled with a small wave.
I turned around and saw Alice and Rose peeking through her living room curtins, waving back.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Yes." I nodded and he turned to lead me to his car. I took the time to turn back around and wave them in the window away. They laughed and quickly shut the curtins. I turned back around in time for Edward to look at me, where as I gave him a huge smile. Nope. Nothing going on here.
"Um, well, you might recognize my voice?" I answered.
"You're voice?" her brow furrowed on her forehead.
"I'm kind of part of a pretty big band." I smiled at her.
