The Possibilities

Kim's Grand-daughter?

   I wake up and stretch. I look over to see Edward looking at my pictures on my wall. I get up and look at the picture he was looking at in the moment. He stares at the pic of me and my grandmother. He stares at it closely. I smile. "I know her," he says. I suddenly remember that my grandmother used to tell me stories of Edward. 

   That is when I put all the pieces together. "That is my grandmother." I say to him. He looks at me questioningly. "You are Kim's granddaughter?" I nod. Then his eyes light up. "Where is she?" He asks excitingly. That is when I get sad. "She's-" I tear up. I sit him down on my bed. "She's not here anymore." I finish looking into his eyes with tears in them. 

   He looks down saying, "Oh." I lay my head down on his shoulder and start crying. He leans his down onto mine. "No wonder you look a lot alike." He says. "Yeah," I sob. I look up at him and begin to tell him of the stories my grandmother had told me of him and how she was in love with him but could not be with him. 

    He seemed to remember everything. He told me a little bit more then she had told me. I nodded and he looked at me deeply. And now I see why my grandmother was ever in love with this man. He was sweet and the twinkle in his eyes made him even more special. I hug him and I be careful not to cut myself with his hands. 

   He holds me in his arms as he is deep in thought. He probably held my grandmother like this in his arms once. I end up falling asleep in his arms. I dream happy dreams about Edward. I don't get it why am I having dreams of him and feeling butterflies when he smiles at me. 

   Curse all these feelings. I wake up in my bed with the blankets over me and Edward... gone? I get up fast and run out of my room. I hear snipping outside. I look out the kitchen window to see Edward trimming the bushes. I walk outside. I admire his trimming. 

   The structure of the bush turn out to be... Me? I walk over to him and say "Wow." He gets startled. I laugh apologizing for scaring him. He smiles. "I-Is that me?" I ask. He nods and smiles the cutest smile ever that makes me blush. Ugh here we go again you are blushing like a fool my subconscious says. I push it to the back of my brain. 

   "So, what do you want to do today? I have no school. Ooo I know how about you meet my parents and my brother?" I say. He looks at me with a sad smile. "Sure." I bring him inside and make us some Pb&J sandwiches. He has a hard time picking it up so I help him a little. 

   He smiles at me. "Don't mention it." I smile back. After we eat I clean up and we sit in the living room to watch some television. A few minutes later I hear the front door open. "Hello, hun we are home." My mom and dad yell from the kitchen. "I am in here there is someone I'd like you to meet." Mom and dad come into the living room to see Edward sitting next to me.

   She freaks when she sees his hands and then her eyes widen in shock. "Edward?" She says. He smiles shyly. "Oh honey we have heard so much about you from my mother." She walks over to him and gives him a hug. My dad just waves and smiles at Edward. 

   "He is more then welcome to stay for however long he wants." My father says with a smile. "That was my plan, dad," I said. He laughs and rolls his eyes. My mom and dad go into their room upstairs. I stay down stairs with Ed. After finishing a movie I tell Edward to stay so I can go get my brother. 

   As I drive to go get James from school I think about him and I start to smile. Oh my gosh just stop! I wait outside the car and out pops out all the kids running to their parents. James sees me and runs into my arms. I pick him up and put him in his car seat in the back. 

   We get to the house and tell him that there is someone is here to meet him. He goes into the living room to see Edward cutting some paper hearts. He screams and I run over to shush him. I tell him that he is harmless and will not hurt him. He trusts me and sits next to him. It seems like forever since they have been talking. 

   I am in my room and I hear footsteps. I look out my doorway and see Edward bringing a sleepy James to his bedroom. He then comes into my room as I put on my TV. He sits on my bed. I then have an idea. 

   "Edward, I am going to try something okay?" I ask him. He just nods. I get my brush from my drawer and start to brush his hair gently. I then get my hair straightener and start to straighten his hair. Once I am finished I have him look into my tiny mirror I put in front of him as I look at him as well. I blush red like a tomato again. 

   "Wow, Ed, you look really. Umm..." I stutter which is something I never do. He looks up at me and smiles. "Thank you." I smile thinking how great of a hair stylist I am. "Anytime," I reply. He stares at me for a little and I start to feel dizzy. The last thing I see before I pass out is Edwards hands.
