CHAPTER1
It's amazing how quickly you can learn to be so dependant on someone. I always thought I would be a loner my whole life. Sure I would have friends but I would always feel like I would never fit in completely. That was until I met Edward.
Over the past year we had already been through so much, what with the whole him being a vampire who thirsted for my blood. Not to mention the whole thing with James when I almost got myself killed. If I ever had any doubt in my mind that I wanted to spend eternity with him, there was not any left in my head.
He was the one thing that completed me. I didn't know how I could ever live without him. I knew and Alice knew that someday I would be like him and any obstacle that stood in our way would vanish. We would be able to give ourselves to each other completely and that was the only thing I wanted.
But Edward refused and everytime I brought up the subject his topaz eyes would flash to mine angrily and turn the coal back that I feared. I didn't understand him. His argument was that he felt I would be giving up my life, but he doesn't realize that he is the only thing in my life worth losing and one day that will eventually happen when I get old and die. He is the only thing that matters to me. He is my life. Forever
" Bella, Bella are you listening to me?" his musical voice said as I snapped out of my daydream.
" Uh---no sorry," I struggled to say as I looked into his eyes. We were sitting in on his black leather sofa in his room. I had now taken to spending all my free time at the Cullen house.
" I asked you if you knew the answer to number 4," Edward said as he playfully rolled his eyes. He had come to know the blank expression I got when I was in one of my daydreams, which were usually about him. It was a Sunday afternoon and he was attempting to explain my Trig homework to me, since I obviously I had no idea what was going on in that class. It was hard enough to understand math when I wasn't thinking about Edward all the time, but know being able to concentrate in that class was becoming seemingly impossible. How could I concentrate when I knew that in a few short hours I would be sitting with Edward and his family at lunch?
I looked at him with a dazed countenance. Of course I did not know the answer to number 4 and he knew that.
" Okay," he started patiently, " to get the answer you just take the cosine of 225 degrees which is 5 pie over 4 in radians and than take the cotangent of that. Do you understand?"
I looked at him like he had just spoken in another language, with my jaw open and my eyebrows buried in confusion.
" Edward, you know I have no idea what you just said, and remember that unlike you, I have not taken this course over 15 times," I said.
" Oh Bella, don't be absurd, I have not taken this course 15 times," he said, " I have only taken it 14 times," He finished as a huge grin spread across his face. I took my book and threw at him with all my might; he of course caught it with no trouble.
" You know, I rather like it when you're angry" Edward said, " Your face turns a beautiful shade of red." I tried to glare at him, but his eyes were the most beautiful color and I couldn't help but to get lost in them. In an instant he was behind me putting his arms around my waist and he started kissing me below my ear and down my jaw line.
I could feel my heart start to race and I closed my eyes trying to concentrate and remember to breathe. " You know you can't be mad at me" he murmured as his cold lips made it to my neck and he then began kissing me down my neck and across my collarbone. When he got to my shoulder he stopped and started slowly rubbing his hand up and down my arms. The room started to spin.
"I love you," I said to him, even though he knew that. Then he slowly started to push down the strap to my tank top so it hung off my shoulder and started kissing my neck and his lips moved all the way up and stopping at the corner of my lips. He spun me around so I was facing him and he looked into my eyes. Okay Bella breathe in and out, that's usually how it works, I told myself. But it wasn't working; the anticipation of his hard lips against mine was unbearable. He gave a soft chuckle and leaned in and kissed me.
I tried hard to be still as he placed his hand on my lower back. This seemed to get easier for Edward each time and I was thankful for that as his lips started to part as they moved against mine. Very slowly he laid me down on the couch and he kicked our forgotten math books out of the way. Just then there was a knock on his door.
Edward groaned and pulled away from me and we both very quickly sat up and I adjusted my tank top.
"Come in," Edward said.
"Bella, Charlie called and he wants you home soon," Carlisle said as he stood in the frame of Edwards door.
Perfect timing Charlie, I thought sarcastically as I gather books and put them in my bag.
"Charlie, I'm home," I said as I stumbled through door, my legs still weak from my last encounter with Edward.
"Hey Bells, I just heated up the leftovers from last night for dinner tonight, hope that's okay" he said.
" Yea that's fine, I am going to just put my things upstairs and take a quick shower." I replied. Ever since I got back from Phoenix Charlie had been a bit more protective and was cautious around Edward. He still thought he was the cause of me leaving even though I reassured him that everything was fine and I wasn't going to go anywhere. Never the less he didn't like me to be out too late when I was at his house and wanted to know where were going and when I would be back.
When I got to my room I opened the door and put my things down. I turned on my computer and let it get running while I was in the shower. I grabbed my bag and went to the bathroom. When I turned on the shower the hot steam instantly filled the small bathroom. I took a deep breath as the hot water hit my back and relaxed my muscles.
When I was done I quickly got out of the shower and hurried to write my mom a quick email before dinner. She was also a bit more worried about me ever since Phoenix, even after I made a full recovery.
Hi Mom,
How are things in Florida? I heard the Suns won the other day, tell Phil congrats for me. Everything is fine up here, school's fine, and dad's fine. Today I was over at Edward's house while he attempted to tutor me in math. You can guess that had no success seeing as math has always been my worse subject! Went to the doctors yesterday for a check up on my leg and they said its all better, I can even go swimming if I want to, that is if I can find a pool around here. Well dinners ready so I will talk to you later.
Love Always,
Bella
After I sent that I got dressed in my gray sweats and ratty t-shirt and went downstairs. The smell of the pasta had filled the kitchen and quickly realized how hungry I was. It was rather quiet while we ate with the faintest attempt at small talk by Charlie. We still hadn't worked that part out yet. When we were finished I jumped up to clear the dishes and clean the kitchen so Charlie could catch the score of the game. Just when I was finished with the phone rang. I ran to it, only wanting to hear one voice.
Hello I breathed
Hello said the musical voice that I had come to know so well
Hi Edward, what's up? I said as I noticed Charlie's ears perk up
I just called to tell you that I can't pick you up tomorrow morning because Emmett and I are going hunting, in fact we are leaving in a few minutes he said
Oh, I said as I tried to hide the disappointment in my voice.
Don't worry Bella; I will only be gone in the afternoon, which brings me to the other reason as to why I called, can you come over tomorrow night? I have a surprise for you, he said
You know I hate surprises Edward, I said laughing
Yea I know that, he said
Then why do you do them?
Well, he started, because I can, he finished. I stood there not saying anything with a frown on my face.
Hold on, let me make sure it's alright with Charlie, I said as I put the phone down.
Dad is it all right if I go to Edwards for dinner tomorrow night? I will be home by 11, I added. He looked at me for a moment and then turned to see the phone lying on the counter and finally said I guess that would be all right. I picked up the phone and I heard Edward go Emmett stop being impatient I will be ready in a few moments!
Edward? I asked
Yes, he answered
I can come over I said
Excellent he said See you after school, and Bella, don't even bother bringing your Trig book, he added.
Okay, I said as I remembered our weak attempt to study this afternoon
I love you, he said
Always? I asked
And Forever, and answered.
After I hung up with Edward I suddenly got a pain in my heart. I already missed him and I knew that school the next day would be torture without him. Especially knowing that he had a surprise waiting for me later that night. I had long given up on thinking that his surprise would someday be changing me. As long as I knew that someday it would happen I had hope, and I had Alice to thank for that.
Most of surprises were usually a brand new expensive wardrobe that Alice had helped him picked out. I always felt awkward accepting them, I can't even imagine how much money he spends on them. It is so unnecessary, and every time I protest, but Edward is not one to take no for answer.
I decided I would give my Trig homework one more try before class tomorrow morning. Perhaps I would be able to concentrate since I no longer had Edward's lips exploring my neck and face. I opened my notebook and looked at question four. I stared at the problem and it looked like I was trying to read Chinese. As I stared at the problem my mind drifted to Edward. I could see his warm topaz eyes gaze into mine. I could smell his sweet breath on my face. I could feel his cold fingers brush along my cheek. I could hear his musical laugh and the way he said my name and the way he said ' I love you'.
The next thing I knew I heard my alarm go off. I slowly opened one eye to see the light of the sun flicker into my room. I looked at the clock and it was time to get up for school. I had fallen asleep at my desk and my neck was all cramped up. I slowly got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and attempt to brush my hair. I quickly gave up and put it in a ponytail. As I made it back to my room, tripping on the rug I heard Charlie's cruiser pull away.
Once back to my room I went to my wardrobe and pulled out my favorite pair of jeans, put on a black polo and slipped on my white and black Diesels, a gift from Rene. After I was done getting dressed I went downstairs to grab a back and a glass of orange juice before heading out to my truck. I made it to English just as the last bell rang and wave a quick hello at Mike and Eric who were already in their seats pulling out their things. The rest of the day seemed to go by pretty slow as I tried not to think about Edward and my theories as to what my surprise could be this time. As I entered the cafeteria my eyes glanced to Cullen's table only to find that it was still empty. The rest of the family must have joined Emmett and Edward this morning.
"Where is Edward?" Jessica asked.
"He's camping with his family," I answered as I smiled to myself.
"When is he coming back?" she asked as she slipped in next to Mike and he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"He should be getting back tonight, I'm going to his house for dinner tonight," I started, " he said he had a surprise for me," I added as I saw Mike roll his eyes.
" That's so sweet!" she squealed, "what do you think it's going to be?"
" I have no idea, nothing is ever certain with Edward," I sighed.
" Hey, how come you never surprise me?" Jessica said to Mike.
" Er- surprise!" he said as he handed her his half bitten apple. She took it and playfully hit him on the shoulder as she snuggled closer to him. Biology and Gym seemed to tick by. We were playing tennis in Gym and Mike won us every game. I of course stood in the back trying to avoid an incident. As soon as gym was over I quickly changed into my clothes so I could get home and go over to Edwards, but as I entered the parking lot I saw a tall figure leaning against the drivers door with his arms crossed as if he were waiting for me.
As I got closer to my truck I could see it was Edward! I dropped my bag and ran to him and threw my arms around him. Had it only been yesterday since I last saw him.
"Hello there," he laughed as he stumbled into my truck clearly not expecting my embrace. He smelled so good, even better than I pictured last night.
" I missed you," he said as he bent he head to kiss my neck. I could feel my heart skip a beat.
" I missed you too," I said as I got in my car and he got in on the passengers side. He told me about his trip with Emmett while I drove to my house. Apparently Emmett really knows how to piss off a grizzly bear. When we got to my house Edward was at my door holding it open before I could unbuckle my seatbelt. I ran inside quickly and put my bag in my room and met Edward downstairs.
As I walked back to my truck Edward caught my hand, " What do you think you are doing?" he asked
" Getting in my car so we can drive to your house," I answered.
" Silly Bella, we aren't going to drive," he said as he reveled in my expression.
" I was hoping you wouldn't say that," I moaned as he carefully threw me over his back. I shut my eyes tight as I felt the wind blow my hair back and in a matter of seconds it was over. He placed me on the ground as we stood in his threshold and put his arm around my waist to steady my balance.
" Okay so what's the surprise?" I asked the eagerness clearly evident in my voice.
He was leading me to Alice's room, he hesitated before entering and Alice was sitting on her couch holding out the most beautiful bathing suit I had ever seen. It was a two-piece bikini that was deep red and dark blue strings that tied back as a halter. At first I thought it was Alice since I could never pull anything like that off. I looked at Alice and then Edward feeling very confused. " I hope you like swimming," Edward said as he ushered me towards to bathroom.
