I can't Help Falling in Love with You by juicie (audio ebook reader .txt) 📕

out with me. Let me make you happy.”

“I don’t know”, I answered slowly. “Edward, I like you. I have liked you for quite some time, now. Ever since my Mom said, you only did those things, because you liked me. But how can I trust you? How do I know that this is not another one of your games?”

“I can understand that you cannot trust me, really I can. But please, trust Alice. She never did anything to you, honestly, she always tried to stop me. She knew the real reason for all this long before I did. She would never mislead you, she loves you. And… and if you still don’t believe me, than at least trust your mother.”

“Don’t bring my mother into this”, I warned.

“But she was right. Bella…” he breathed. He was close. Too close.

“Edward, please.” I took a step back. “I don’t know if I can do this. I really don’t.”

“How about this: You give me this date tonight, we’ll have this picnic in here, in front of the fire. We talk and eat. And at the end of the evening you tell me if you have changed your mind about me. You are free to leave and go home and never talk to us Cullens again. Or you decide that you want to give me a chance – which I really hope you’ll do – and have that sleep over with Alice tonight.”

I still wasn’t sure about this, but I nodded. “If I give you that chance”, I said, “you will be no more than my friend afterwards. And we will see from then on how things develop.”

“Sounds fair. I would love to be your friend by the end of the night.”

“Hm”, I only made. I went back to the blanket and sat down. Curiously I looked into the basket for what other food it held.

We placed it on the blanket between us and started to eat and talk.

I knew, if the evening continued like this, Edward stood a good chance of becoming my friend and maybe, someday, my boyfriend.
