My Twilight Journal: Edward Warms Up

Alright are you ready for my thoughts? I have a lot of them. I really am enjoying the Twilight book and it seems to have taken hold of me.

Let’s get started with my thoughts on the next part of the Twilight book. First off, Edward is so confusing. He saves Bella from being crushed, then he won’t talk to her for a month. Then all of a sudden he is talking to her. I can totally understand where Bella is coming from when he does talk to her again. Nothing seems to make sense to her. He flip flops and she needs to protect herself from him. Now he is telling her it is better that they are not friends. What is up with that? Of course I understand he is a vampire but Bella doesn’t get it at all.

Edward playing a game.

Edward seems to be around when Mike, Eric and of course Tyler asks Bella to the dance. I really like the part where Edward blocks her in so Tyler can ask her out. I would be so mad but it was pretty funny!

Bella and her feelings.

I am really enjoying seeing the obsession that is happening to Bella when it comes to Edward. I guess in part because I was like this in high school. I would obsess over every move a guy I liked, would make. With Bella it happens without her wanting it but yet she does it anyway. She thinks of him. She dreams of him. She can’t do anything without him interrupting her activities in some way! Edward is such a mystery and she is so drawn to him. All he has to do is show her that she can trust him and then it is all over for her. She will give herself to him completely.

Seattle.

It is amazing to me how moody Edward is and how Bella can see it. She is pretty observant with Edward. I think the first step to getting Bella to let her guard down was Edward asking Bella if he could take her to Seattle. For me this is significant because it brings me back to high school again, literally. Seattle is where I went on weekends and yes where I went with guys I liked on occasion. I can imagine what it would be like for Edward and Bella to go alone to a great city like Seattle! So I am very excited for them to go to Seattle together! But again in the book Edward gives her mixed signals. Let me take you to Seattle but you really should stay away from me!

Edward’s change of heart.

Okay so far this the best part of the Twilight book. When Bella goes to lunch and Edward is singling her out. He is by himself and not his family. He wants her to sit with him alone. This makes my heart and my stomach do flip flops! Isn’t this exactly what any girl would want. A gorgeous guy that is such a mystery wants you to sit alone with him at lunch! Then Edward says “…I got tired of trying to stay away from you.” I really liked how they bantered. Edward tried again to get Bella to understand that he is dangerous and she felt it but couldn’t deny how she felt drawn to him.

Biology

Edward skipped class but was right there when Bella needed him. Edward definitely has a way of getting what he wants. He was able to get him and Bella excused from school and take Bella home. Some more great alone time. I am all for that.

That is it so far…

I am loving it and I want to read more! I love the chemistry between Bella and Edward. Even thought for whatever reason he thinks they are bad for each other, they can’t seem to stay away from each other. They are like magnets!

Until next time…
