EDWARD MEETS BELLA…IN REAL LIFE

Dear Kaleb,

So up until about two months ago, my Twilight knowledge was limited to mocking any girl I saw for reading “that apple book”.

But when I moved across the country to live with my uncle, swapping into a co-ed high school with my cousin, out of nowhere there were apples, flowers, ribbons and chess pieces everywhere there was estrogen, including the desks of some of my teachers! It roused my curiosity a bit more and I asked my cousin about it, worried I’d find out she was as crazy obsessed with it as all the other girls were. To my huge relief, she informed me that she wasn’t. She was just starting the first audio-book a friend had lent her. It was supposed to be this epic love story. Bleh.

Anyway, Liz got me invited to a friend’s party later that week since I was the ‘new guy’. Just after I got there, I spotted a girl across the room chatting up with some friends. The most conspicuous thing about her was that she was wearing casual clothes at a Halloween party.

I asked Liz about her and she kinda did a double take when she saw who I was talking about. Told me that was Bella, the girl who’d lent her the Twilight audio. I felt weird just walking up to her out of nowhere so I asked Liz if she’d introduce me and she obliged.

“Hey, guys. This is my cousin,” she told them casually, “Edward, this is Bella.”

And the girls totally flipped, especially Bella. Scared the crap out of me too. They squealed and giggled and I turned beet red, feeling like an idiot since I’d always hated my full name.

“Just Eddie,” I corrected with a glare at my cousin as I shook Bella’s hand.

Out of nowhere (again) the girls decided to unanimously ditch the two of us with some lame ‘dying of thirst’ line, leaving Bella and me alone. So in an attempt to make small talk, I asked her about her outfit and if she couldn’t find a costume. She blushed quite obviously and told me she was dressed as ‘Bella Swan’

Logically, I figured that meant she really COULDN’T find an outfit. When I told her as much, she gave me a LOOK.

“Bella Swan? From Twilight?” she asked me, like it was supposed to be clear as day.

“The apple book?” I asked, not having any idea whatsoever what that had to do with anything.

“You really don’t KNOW?” she said, almost laughing.

This exchange led into a long and detailed conversation which started with explaining (to my embarrassment) about the novel’s characters EDWARD Cullen and BELLA Swan and why my introduction sent her and her friends into fits of hysteria. It lasted pretty much the entire party, about vampire baseball and how transformed human blood makes vampires stronger, the whole deal. When the party ended, she tattooed most of my forearm with websites to check out if I was interested, including this one. Thrown somewhere in the middle was her number.

So before my uncle came around to pick us up, I asked Liz, casually as I could, if I could upload the audio book to my MP3 player. She rolled her eyes, as she pulled out her iPod and lent me a headphone.

Three weeks later, we’d gone through all four audiobooks and I was starting to follow the movie news (was I the only one who NEVER saw that proposal coming?). Liz’s crowd, including Bella (who I’d been talking to since Halloween) invited me to go to the midnight movie.

As we were walking out, I figured now or never and asked Bella if she wouldn’t mind being my stupid lamb. Ignoring her friends who awwed and cheered behind us, she just laughed and told me that she was glad it didn’t take me 90 years.”

  1. Ok. That was cute, really cute. I’m jealous.

    I hope they can last for eternity, like the original Edward and Bella.
    lol.

  2. Okay… I dont really have the same reaction as every other girl here… I thought this report was kind of “fake sounding”. I don’t know, but it sounds like the guy made up the story or at least exaggerated on certain parts… It just didn’t sound realistic.

  3. awww I want to be someones stupid lamb and have something that coincidentally syooperb happen to me! Or atleast be second party to witnessing something so meant to be ! *whimpers* I’m jealous, lol.

  5. That was really cute, one of my favorite couple hook-ups caused by Twilight xDDD

    But really, what are he odds of something like that happening? Lucky girl!

  9. so romantic *sigh*

    so things like that do happen in real life after all 😀

    *just crying a little*

  12. Edward, two pieces of advice for you:

    1) you’d better start using your full name
    2) BEWARE a younger man named Jacob

    This is THE BEST STORY EVER!
    I wish stuff like that would happen to ME! at least now I know there’s at least ONE couple out there called Edward and Bella – and they’re fans! awwww! now I feel like crying, this is soooo cute!

  13. OME thats sooo completely adorable i would’ve flipped out too if someone said “Edward this is Bella”lol thats so amazing!!

  14. This is so amazing! WOW! How crazy is it that his name was Edward and hers was Bella!? And that this Bella was obsessed with twilight!? This is hilarious. It would be pretty crazy to have the same name as your favorite heroine in a book series and then stand there being introduced to a boy with the same name as the hero! That’d be awesome. This is my favorite twilightguys report so far!!!!

    I actually have my boyfriend reading New Moon. It sucks because I spoiled the whole Victoria being in the water when Bella jumped off the cliff thing for him because I didn’t know that he hadn’t gotten to the part where Bella realizes that. He got pissed! He was like “it was her!!!??? why’d you tell me!?” lol oops.

  15. *fangirl scream* that is CRAZY!! unforunately, i kind of doubt eddie is a vampire… BUT this makes me wonder: if edward is allowed to call emmett and jasper “em” and “jazz”, why does nobdy call him “ed” or “eddie”??? it waould only be fair…
    anyway, yeah, this is my favorite guy story so far 🙂

  16. Aw that’s so cute! My mom has a friend who named her daughter Isabella, and another friend’s child is named Edward. Now they are about 4 years old, and Bella and Edward go on playdates. =D

  17. 108 Aree-

    check back with us on twilightguy comments with your report from seeing if it is your friend. 😀

  19. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
    OMG!
    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!
    I laughed a lot. Eddie, you are great! The whole ‘will you be my stupid lamb’ comment was HILLARIOUS. But still totally cute.
    LUCK!
    ilua!

  22. Besides the Hale twins, I’d say this is probably one of the best yet. I couldn’t help the little feminine “aaaaaw!” as I read this. I mean…for real? How cute. And I don’t use that word lightly. Or the feminine “aaaaaw”s.

  24. Is this a true story ? Because if it is, then it is really cute and very twilighty… if not… well I guess it’s a good story 🙂

  27. The best part is that he didn’t know the names of the main characters, so he had no idea why they were hysterical. too funny…

  29. Awwwww!;D

    Every part is DAZZLING and funny=D

    Well,my fav part is when Eddie responded, “Just Eddie.”. He’s like Bella Swan who hates her whole name Isabella. How ironic!=))

    And ofcourse…how can we ever ignore the “stupid lamb” and “massochistic lion” love affair;D

    TWILIGHT is indeed not just a fantasy…but a shining fantasy that can and will touch the hearts of anyone…forever.=)

    Btw, this is my first time too to visit this site and i LOVE it immidiately!=D

  32. =D hahahahahhaaahha

    That was awesome xD
    my FAVORITE of them all!

    i love how he asked her to be his girlfriend!
    lol wanna be my stupid lamb?
    hahahaha love that part xD

  33. That was SO adorably cute! I LOVED THIS STORY!!!! Man if I were there I would be one of the girls screaming when the cousin introduced him as Edward this is Bella!!!

    O man I wish my name was Bella!
    This story was amazing!!!!! <3
    😀

    P.S. the stupid lamb line was too die for! loved it! 🙂

  35. LOL.
    Coincidence, isn’t it?
    “Edward, this is bella.” LOL

    XD

    And the last part was pretty funny too.
    “…she was glad it didn’t take me 90 years.”
    lmao

  37. “As we were walking out, I figured now or never and asked Bella if she wouldn’t mind being my stupid lamb. Ignoring her friends who awwed and cheered behind us, she just laughed and told me that she was glad it didn’t take me 90 years.” – This is my favorite part of story, other than the part when they first met. How cool is it that two people with the same names as the two characters of the most awesomest book meet and now are dating ? Its either a coincidence or fate. I’ma go with fate on this one ( ;

  38. I think this is my favorite one so far.

    The fact that THE Edward doesnt like to be called Eddie, but this one does, is a bit funny, though.

    And being called the ‘stupid lamb’ would have been a bit insulting at first, but if I was Bella (XD), I would have said yes anyway. 😛

    *slightly feminine ‘Aww’s!’ in background*

    Believe me when I say I dont do that… except for that one time.

  42. Oh my Edward. I think I’m tearing up!! Awwwweeeeee, that is so frikkin sweet. You win the awesomest Twilight guy award. Would you like a trophy or certificate?

  43. awww that is by far the cutest love story related to Twilight I’ve heard! That made my day, because today I’ve had a pretty rotten day…

    anywhooo

    I think its awesome that this is your job! Happy Twilightin!

  44. thats so awesome. && cute!..

    his name is eddie!..

    what a coincidence..i love the part when he said. “..if she could be my stupid lamb”
    haha! i loved it.

  45. thats so awesome. && cute!..

    his name is eddie!..

    what a coincidence..i love the part when he said. “..if she could be my stupid lamb”
    haha! i loved it…:D

  46. “would you mind being my stupid lamb?”

    I think any girl would melt after hearing that…no matter his name was!

    lol my bro’s gf has a 5-year old daughter named bella and she’s as obssesed w/ twilight as I am. were always planning bella’s future and how she’s gonna end up with a edward!

  48. Aww, that was awesome!!! Almost more romantic than the book itself… although… I wonder how often the real Bella and Eddie will check to see if the other one is like their fictional name-sharers…

  49. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! that was soooo sweet!! I want to find mine edward, but unfortunately I’m not named Bella..
    Aww, it was just so sweet..” and I asked her if she wanted to be my stupid lamb” holy cow, I wish I had a boy friend who could say that to me..!! ;D we would be talking twilight all say long, while we were lying on my bed, awww.. Soo cute..! <3
