ranka and he'll never want to talk to me again. =D
Twilight Chapter eight, pt 2
So, Edward takes Bella to dinner, claiming that she's in shock. He gets her coke and bread sticks and ravioli. After some small talk and the waitress hitting on Edward. We get down to BUSINESS.
But not like that.
Apparently they don't do that until book four. Early on, but not until book four.
After some "Hypothetical" dancing, of hypothetically, do you think someone could read someone's mind." Edward admits to having followed Bella to Port Angeles. This does not bother her. \~/
You know what? At this point? Bella deserves everything she gets. Unfortunately she doesn't get everything she deserves. \~/\~/\~/ At this point? Any sensible person would be running for the police or doing something so that the wait staff would be alerted into knowing that "hay there's a stalker here."
You're not supposed to be happy or pleased that someone admits to stalking you like this. This IS something that supposed to bother you. Yes, there is something wrong here, you should be worried. Strange surges of pleasure are BAD in general. When it's coming from your stalker? Even more Bad Bad. When it's coming from your stalker who keeps on saying I'm bad for you, you should keep away from me? Even worse. \~/\~/
Look, even EDWARD is wondering why she's so pleased to learn that he's stalking her. Dude, I know you're not the brightest... smartest vampire to ever be undead, but really, cut her loose already.
Bella wants to know why Edward had rescued her, after all, maybe her number had been up at that time. Personally, I never understood the concept of your "number being up" If you're supposed to die when your number is up, then when you die, your number is up. All other times don't count. Edward, still chugging on that "I'm dangerous, no really" train, tells Bella that her number was up the first time they met. And yet, she's not dead.
We learn that Edward keeps track of people by using his mind powers. ""It's harder than it should be — keeping track of you. Usually I can find someone very easily, once I've heard their mind before." " A neat trick actually. Fairly standard, but still, always a neat trick. So, he kept tabs on Jessica because "only you could find trouble in Port Angeles". Yup, that's our speshul snowflake Bella. Going off and doing stupid things because Meyers demands it.
He tells her that once he learned that she had separated from Jessica and Angela, he started to look around for Bella in such a way that it wouldn't look obvious that he was looking for her. Then the Rescue and then him saying that he needs her to stay with him so he doesn't go back and kill those guys who were going to do Bad Things to Bella.
They leave after that.
The entire point of this chapter, I believe, is so that Edward and Bella could have some alone time, talk things, where it can be set up that Bella may confront Edward about being a vampire. However, it's done in a completely over-dramatic, making your heroine look utterly moronic, way. The best way for this would have been for Bella and Edward to have run into each other "accidentally". Bella could take that opportunity to corner Edward and drag him to a Starbucks and quiz him. Thus, not making her two friends seem like uncaring idiots as well. It would have been a more natural way of meeting and Edward wouldn't have to admit that he was a creepy stalker. Even if it doesn't bother Bella. She's very "Okay!"
Edward: I stalk you.
Bella: Okay!
Edward: I'm dangerous and want to kill you.
Bella: Okay!
Edward: I'm an evil vampire.
Bella: Okay!
Edward: I'm really a woman.
Bella: Okay! Can we have teh sexxors now?
Edward: Not until the fourth book.
Bella: *sighs* Okay.
Die Bella. Die.

"I followed you to Port Angeles," he admitted, speaking in a rush. "I've
never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it's much more
troublesome than I would have believed. But that's probably just because
it's you. Ordinary people seem to make it through the day without so many
catastrophes." He paused. I wondered if it should bother me that he was
following me; instead I felt a strange surge of pleasure. He stared,
maybe wondering why my lips were curving into an involuntary smile.
