Falling For You ~Edward Cullen~
Chapter 25 Part 1
Arianna's P.O.V.
I poked at my food trying to decide how to ask him.
"Uh Arianna?" Tyler nudged my foot lightly.
"Huh?" My head snapped up.
He laughed lightly. "I've been talking for so long and you weren't even listening? I feel hurt."
He put his right hand on his chest pretending to look hurt.
I laughed with him. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking."
"How come you're not eating? Don't you like Italian?" he asked puzzled. "We can go to a different restaurant if you want." he added quickly.
"No no! I'm fine here, in fact I love Italian. It's just that I eat really slow....well sometimes I eat slow." I explained.
"Okay then..."
We lapsed back into silence.
This is the most awkward date I have ever had. We're not talking at all. Tyler just looks so uncomfortable. I probably look the same though.
Okay really have to ask him now. It's now or never.
"So Tyler, tell me about yourself." I spoke up, breaking the painful silence.
He looked surprised but answered anyway. "Uh, sure. So uh I was born on September 5, 1995. So I'm 17 right now. Uh my favourite colour is green, I love sports, I like to read, draw and dance. And that's probably it. How about you?".
"Well, I was born January 12, 1995, I'm 17 right now. I'm originally from England in BradFord West Yorkshire. But we moved here in America around 3 years ago. My favorite colour is blue, I like some sports but I'm not really a fan of sports but I'm pretty good in them. I love singing, drawing and dancing. I also love writing songs. And I love reading too." I finished.
"So if you moved here three years ago with your family, how come you're with the Cullens? I heard that you just live with the Cullens but you're not related to them." he asked confused.
Oh crap! Think fast Arianna. Think fast. Oh yeah! I got one!
"Carlisle is my godfather. He's my parent's besfriend. I live with them now because my parents travel around the world and they bring my little sister with them who's home-schooled. They don't like leaving me alone so they decided that I'll stay with the Cullens. I officially changed my last name to Cullen because first of all, I really like that last name. Second of all, I'll be staying with them for practically my whole life, yeah I'll be visiting my parents when they come for a week or something but I'll still be spending my time with the Cullens. And when I'm 18 and old enough to get my own place, I'll still be staying with them. So I decided to just officially become one of them. My parents agreed so now my last name is officially Cullen." I explained proudly.
"Ohh. You have a really interesting life. Better than mine anyway." he said.
I laughed. "Come on you must have some exciting event that happened in your life."
"Well, there's one, but it's not really exciting. It's sad actually." he said frowning.
Yes! Finally we're getting somewhere! Now it's my chance to find out.
"So what is it?" I asked.
"Okay how about this. You start eating, then I'll talk." he said.
Oh gross! Everyone in my family said that human food is really disgusting and you have to find a way to throw it back up later. I've never exactly tried it but still. Taylor is lucky that she's my bestfriend or I wouldn't do this at all.
"Okay sure." I said trying to sound enthusiastic.
I scooped up a ravioli and took a deep breath before opening my mouth. Here we go.
I put the ravioli in my mouth trying to chew slowly. I expected to just start throwing up right there because of the 'horrible' taste. I expected to start gagging. What I did not expect however was the taste of the ravioli. The taste is amazing. Just as I remembered it. But how? They all said that vampires can't eat food. It's too disgusting. The smell is even disgusting to them. But now that I think about it, whenever there's human food around, they all start making faces and gagging. But to me it smelled...normal. It smelled like how it used to smell when I was human.
I started scooping up more raviolis and mushrooms and eating them. It's so good.
I tried to eat fast without looking like a pig.
Tyler, seeming satisfied, started his story. "Okay so now that you're eating, I'll start. So I had this neighbour, she was absolutely beautiful and she was all I've ever wanted. I fell in love with her the minute I saw her. We argued every time we were together and my friends always teased me about that saying that we were just ridiculous because they said that she likes me a lot, but I never believed it. I knew she hated me. Well I thought she hated me. Then one day she just told me that she was moving. That broke my heart because I knew that I'll never see her again and that I'll never get the chance to tell her that I loved her. I was so heart broken that I just couldn't utter a word. I walked away from her." he shook his head sadly, regret burning in his eyes. "The expression on her face was horrible. I regret walking away from her. Then on her last day I finally decided to confess to her. I knew that I couldn't let her leave without letting her know. I confessed to her and....and.."
I put a comforting hand on his shoulder. So it is him. Why does my life suck so much! I fell in love with Edward and now he's with Bella. Now I think I'm falling for Tyler....
He took a deep breath and continued in a steady voice. "And she said she loved me too. We kissed but ended it. We promised each other to move on because we both knew it's not gonna work. I know that she'll always have a place in my heart but I'm a bit proud and happy to say that I finally moved on." he smiled slightly proud.
I forced a smile on my face. Should I just tell him about Taylor? Maybe she wouldn't want me to tell him. Maybe she wanted to tell him herself.
Ugh! What should I do?
I thought for a while and finally decided. Screw it I'll just tell him myself. I'll just try to hint it like I did for Taylor and if that doesn't work I'll just tell him straight out.
"Uh Tyler, do you mind if I ask what her name is?" I asked cautiously.
He looked puzzled but still answered. "Well, I don't mind since like I said I moved on. Her name was Taylor."
I stared at him trying to tell him with my eyes.
He started looking confused....then his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is-? No it can't- How- What-?" he gasped stuttering.
"I'm sorry but she is." I looked down sadly.
How come my love life suck so much?
To be continued......
