The First Encounter

BPOV

It was one of those cold, days you spent inside your house. It was Mid-November. It was raining cats and dogs outside, and the wind crushed against my bedroom window with the great force of the seven seas. I arose from my sleep when I heard a car approaching my drive-way. I got up from my bed tripping because I'm such a klutz, and looked into the mirror as I always did.

In the mirror, I saw my long brown, wavy hair. I had that kind of hair. Next I saw my deep brown eyes. I had deep brown eyes and brown hair. I was very pale, so I looked weird with brown hair, and pale skin. I was a short girl, even as a child, my classmates would make fun of my height. Now at the age of 16 I was 5'2. I was petti almost pixie like, so people who didn't know me thought I was young. I had long slender legs, but no athletic I was always very clumsy and falling down on flat surfaces. I was the biggest klutz on west side of America.

After, examining myself in the mirror I heard my father calling my name Isabella.

"We have guests", he said.

My father was a very corky kind of person, very warm and inviting. To everyone else he was a big shot lawyer, Mr. Swan. But to me he was just dad. As I put on my favorite pair of flip-flops, I imagined how our guests would be like. Normally, my father's business friends were old and dull. Most bold and in there 50s. But our guest today was different this man had gone to college with my father.

My dad had said to me that he was going to move to our small town of Forks. They were going to live with us. Until he found a home of his own. So they were going to be with us for a while. This man was suppose to bring along his teenage son with him.

So I thought I would have a companion in this big house. Some one to talk to, I never had siblings. My mother left my dad and I when I was just three. She left a note and just left me with my father. So I had a lot of respect for my father, he had raised me all alone. He was my mom, and dad. We could talk almost about everything, but not about everything like you would talk to a mother.

He was always spending time with me, as if he was trying to fill the void in my heart, but it wasn't the same as if I were with my mother. I cleared my thoughts, and walked out of my room. As I walked through the hallway I heard laughter. Then, I knew I had taken too long. I made my way through the hallway and down the stairs. As I walked towards the living room, I pulled my hair back.

Then, I saw him. He was the most beautiful being I have ever seen. He looked like a Greek God Adonis myself in my living room. He was the most beautiful person I have ever seen he looked as if he was cut out of a magazine. Then I heard the voice, that I fell in love with. His voice was smooth and husky.

"Hi" He said.

Since I was a klutz you can all see what I did next walking towards him to shake his hand I tripped on the carpet. As usual, I made a fool of myself. But lucky, he caught me before hitting the floor. His hands against my bare skin gave me goose bumps I felt a surge of electricity run through my arm, his hands were icy cold.

After, I got up, I introduced myself.

"Hi my name is Isabella but call me Bella". I shock his hand, he had an icy firm handshake.

"So what's your name?" He was tall 6'2 and handsome.

"My name is Edward". He had a very unique color of bronze hair color, cut short. He was built you could obviously see he had muscles, but lean. He had this amazing shade of emerald green eyes, the kind you could just look into. His eyes had dark circles under them as if he hadn't had a good night of sleep, but never the less he was gorgeous. There was depth to his eyes. I turned awkwardly towards my dad, trying to hide the blush that had developed just by looking at him.

"This is Mr. Cullen and his son Edward," said my dad.

"Hello everybody", I shuck Mr. Cullen's hand.

Finally noticed my other guest. Cullen was very young, I haven't expect this, I expected a 50 year old that was bold. He was none. He looked like his son. "Oh so your the girl, Charlie can't stop talking about, I heard a lot about you said Mr.Cullen or Carlisle.

"Oh wow. I looked sly around the room only to see two bags. Wow you guys travel light". I said while looking around the room. Carlisle and Edward looked at each other with a grin as if they were keeping a secret.

We travel light, because our things are going to come in a few weeks from LA when we find a place, commeted Carlisle.

The next few minutes were a blur, I stared at Edward completely unashame, I couldn't stop looking at him. Like if he would disappear into thin air. I caught glimpses of him from the corners of my eyes. I couldn't believe he was going to live with me. How lucky was I.

Oh Charlie how is the business out here I hear a lot about the firm you work for. They handled that big case against the school board right? Oh yes, we did handle that case. But enough about business how have you been you don't look a day over 25. Wow your in such good shape.

My dad and Carlisle talked a lot, they were catching up. So I got up to leave them alone. Well, bye I see you two have a lot to talk to. As soon as I did that my dad said.

" Why don't you take Edward to his room so he can get some rest, It must have been a long trip". Sure I'll take him to his room.

"C'mon, lets leave them alone." I responded.

I walked towards his suitcase to pick it up like a good hostess would do. But as soon as I did this Edward picked it up before me. What a gentlemen? I try to be. His voice was so smooth it was mesmerizing. I was quiet on the walk to his room. Thinking of what to say to sound cool. We made our way through the hallway.

"You must be tried from your trip", I broke the silent.

"Well, just a little bit" He answered weary.

"Well, heres your room next to mine" I told him.

I walked him in. He set his suitcase on the edge of the bed.

"So are you excited about school tomorrow?" I asked him trying to make conversation.

"Kinda of, I don't know anyone except you."

"Don't be worried everyone will be nice to you. I'll be with you so don't worry you'll have a friend." I told him honestly.

He gave me this loop sided smile, that I instantly loved. He was beaming, looking at me.

"So your a senior in High School right? That must be cool right? Wow only one more year of school until college. That must be so cool." I eagerly spoke. I myself couldn't want to leave boring old Forks behind.

"Well, yes it is", he said.

Then Edward started talking about his last school and how he didn't have much friends. Then I knew the reason why, it was because he was so gorgeous the boys there must have been jealous of him. We talked for endless hours about school and life.

He was my friend now. I felt at ease with him.

"Well, its getting late so there are some clean sheets in the closet, if you need anything just knock on my door okay. So Edward I can give you a ride to school okay? " I told him.

"That would be great. So see ya later". He spoke with his smooth voice.

As I walked out, he grabbed my arm and gave my a good-night hug.

"Don't let the bed bugs bite", he said.

I hugged him back I felt comfortable with him, as if I had known him my whole life. I couldn't wait to tell my best friend Alice she was going to flip out. Me and Alice have been friends since I could remember. She was my partner in crime. I fell asleep with wild thoughts running through my head.
