"Edward, please let me go."
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"What if I begged?"
"No."
I sighed. Okay, if he was going to be like that, then I would have to get more creative. Two hours and Edward hadn't let me go. Not that I minded sitting in his arms, but one needs an occasional break from sitting motionless for two hours.
"I have to go to the bathroom," I announced.
He grinned. "Nice try."
"Um…I'm hungry?"
"You just ate this afternoon." He winked.
I let out another frustrated sigh, and decided to change tack. "If you don't let me go," I threatened, "I'll…uh…"
How did you threaten a vampire? Edward seemed to be thinking the same thing, as he said, "You can't threaten me, Bella."
"I'll bite you!" I declared finally.
He looked skeptical, and then burst out in a fit of laughter. I rolled my eyes to the ceiling while he composed himself. "You're going to bite me?"
"Yep," I said. "So if you don't let me go in three seconds, I'm biting you. And it shall hurt."
He pressed his lips together firmly and finally let me go. "Are you happy?"
I smiled. "Very happy."
