Chapter 11: Reminiscing-5

And yet another part! :)

El’s POV

 I stretched on my bed and sighed deeply. I wonder if my love for Edward is even healthy. I mean who loves someone to the extent to think about things that’ll definitely hurt in the end? Of course, I do! Coz I am the stupidest person to have ever been born on mother earth!

Anyway, I think it’s better to go over it all here at home instead of in school and get caught by Edward instead like today. I blushed over today’s memory and got lost in my train of thought. For a month and a half Edward and I had hid our relationship from our friends all the while getting to know each other.

We used to spend all the time at my place on the pretense of me tutoring him for math. During that period we got to know a lot about each other from favorite movie to food to most hated person and subject. And even had him stop calling me peanut. I mean I don't if it was weird or cute and it always made my heart flutter but I loved the name he had given to me the day he asked me out, the name that only he could call me- El.

During this time I had felt my crush for Edward develop into a major case of liking-itis. Though Edward had been a player before I happened to him but once we were together he stopped his “activities.” He used to spend all the time with me and when we would be not together he’d always call me or text me. It was like I was with him 24/7. And I loved it.

Edward also had the habit of flattering me with gifts and compliments. And I will never deny the fact that he had spoiled me to death in those one and a half months. And I had thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an altogether new sensation for me. Having a guy in my life. I had often seen Alice and James going all lovey-dovey over each other and I had always been wishful but I had never ever thought I’d experience it in real. And that also with Ed.

I know it might come as a surprise to anyone if they got to know the real story behind me and Ed getting together. No one would’ve ever thought that I, Elizabeth Jane Anderson would readily accept a proposal from Edward like this. But I did. And I also knew the reason behind it. And I never told it to anyone not even to myself.

I always said I had an itsy bitsy crush on Ed but that is untrue. Yes I accept it now. It is so not true. I had a deep liking for him. In fact I believe I was bordering on the stalker line. I had noticed him since we were kids and were in kindergarten together. And when we came in to high school I had always noticed him. I liked how he used to doodle in his notebook when he was bored in class, how he twirled the pen in between his fingers when he tried to focus, how he was lost in football when he played, how he smiled when he won a game and how he was him. Sigh! Yes I had always liked him. But I never made it obvious to him or my friends. I guess I am just good at hiding stuff.

And as I spent more and more time with him I knew that is was not my crush developing into liking-itis but my liking-itis turning into love-ingitis. I closed my eyes as my thoughts wandered to a night when Edward had called me.

I saw my phone ringing and I picked it up and checked the caller ID. Ed’s face my smiling at me. I smiled and answered.

“Hello”

“Hey El, whatcha doing?”

“Umm I am talking to you?”

“Ha-ha. Before that?”

“I was picking up your call?”

“Okay fine. Forget it princess anyway what’s the time?”
