Growing More

Chapter 36

Bella's POV

---- Next Day ----

"Bell, c'mon. Time for class," Edward murmured, and I stirred into consciousness.

"Five more minutes," I pleaded.

"Although you look and sound adorable baby, we have to go to class today."

I groaned and sat up, rubbing my eyes. As I opened my eyes up, my eyes almost bugged out of my head.

Edward stood wearing a black tuxedo, a dark grey tie, and black dress shoes, his hair slicked back as best as possible - however you could still see the spikes in his hair attempting to break free.

"Damn," I mumbled, "you're hot as hell."

A smirk broke across his face as he pulled me off the bed and into his arms.

"Thanks..." he purred into my ear, "I'm all yours."

"How did I get so lucky?"

He chuckled.

"Bella, the only lucky one here is me."

"Such a liar," I teased, shoving him playfully. "Why're you all dressed up anyway?"

"We've got a performance down at the town hall today. I am the only pianist."

"Well, good lucky baby," I smiled, going through my closet. I didn't know what to wear.

"Here," Edward smiled as he handed my a bundle of fabric. I unfolded it and found it was his white button up that he wore a few years ago on my first day back to Forks High. I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face as he helped me put it on.

"You look..." he trailed off, watching me as I showed myself off.

I stopped. "What? Is it bad?"

"No. You look... sexy,"

I scoffed. "Please."

"No, really."

"Edward, be serious here, please."

"I am being serious."

I rolled my eyes and slipped on some black leggings as Edward stood there, watching me.

I put on some white high tips that folded down on the sides, and held my arms out as if to ask for his opinion.

"Bella," he said simply. "Come here."

I did as I was told, and he leaned down to press his lips to mine. He placed one hand on my waist and one hand on my face. I placed my hands on his back, clawing at the collar of his tux.

We were in the car singing along to 'Somebody to Love' by Queen on our way to the campus.

As the song ended, Edward turned the volume down and slowed to a stop at a stop sign.

"What is it?" I asked, worried. He didn't usually like silence in the car unless he was upset about something.

"Did you know it's your twentieth birthday in a couple weeks?"

"Yeah... You know I don't want anything, right?" I was scared of what he could be planning.

"Oh, I know. But you know no one cares," he smirked as we turned onto the road that the college is on.

So remember a few years ago when I bought that book "Opposites Attract" by a girl named Josephine? Turns out she's in my college.

I met her at registration, and she is hilarious. She's like girl Emmett.
