Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight nor do I own Lolita. Both stories and characters belong to Stephenie Meyer and Vladimir Nabokov's respectively. But I do own the second best thing. Which is this story. Wahaha!
Full Summary: Even as kids, Edward Cullen has always been a little over-protective of his sister's best-friend, Bella Swan. But what happens when Edward comes back from college to find his innocent little angel all grown-up? And to make things even more interesting, he's now her new English teacher. Will his obsession push him too far? Possessive/Obsessive Edward. Inspired by Vladimir Nobokov's novel Lolita. Rated M for a reason.
Prologue
"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul…"
EPOV:
Lying on a cheap and creaky old bed, I stared at the cover of the worn-out book in my right hand. It was a copy of Vladimir Nabokov's infamous and controversial novel, Lolita. It was one of the few books that I had brought along with me after leaving home. I've read it about a million times already but I never really understood old Humbert Humbert's fascination with little 12-year old, Dolores Haze. But I guess that was because I never really knew what love was until I saw her again. I put the book down on the nightstand, right next to the table lamp, and turned my attention to the figure that was peacefully asleep and encompassed in my left arm.
Bella.
MY Bella.
To her mother, she was Isabella. To her juvenile friends including that vile Mike Newton, she was Isa, Izzy, Ella or whatever stupid nickname they gave her. But to me, she would always remain MY Bella. It means beautiful in Italian, which is exactly what she is.
Beautiful.
I've known her since she was a born and I must say, I was quite fond of her when she was a child. But it wasn't until I came back a few months ago after graduating from college, did I realize that I was in love with her. I was deeply, madly, and irrevocably in love with her and nothing anyone says or does will ever change that fact. Never.
They tried taking her away from me which infuriated me to no end. I wasn't going to let that happen so I did what I had to do. I left home as well as my family, taking her with me. Which would explain the situation we were in right now. We have been hopping from one motel to another for the past few weeks now and as much as I wanted to pamper my little lover and check into a Hilton or a Hyatt, we needed to be discreet and I couldn't risk them taking Bella away from me.
I just couldn't...
They just didn't understand! No one did! Not even my own family. I recall my last conversation with my mother…
"Edward! Please! Stop this! What you are doing is wrong! You can't love her like that! She's practically a child! Think of what Renee would say!" my mother begged through her tears.
"Well we wouldn't know because she is dead!" I snapped.
This caused her sob even harder but I didn't care. She lost her best-friend and was hurting but what she was asking of me would hurt me a million times more.
"And don't you dare tell me who I can and cannot love!" I spat before reaching for the door to my room and slamming it behind me…
It wasn't only mother who disapproved of my feelings for Bella, but so did the rest of my family and friends. My father Carlisle… Emmett… Rosalie…Jasper… and the one person whose reaction had hurt the most, my sister, Alice.
Back then as kids, when Alice and Bella would play pretend or in this case, "Princess", Alice would make me Bella's Knight in Shining Armor, much to Bella's dismay because she hates being a "Damsel in Distress", because she always wanted Bella to be her sister since she and the rest of my family have been cheated of that opportunity. So I guess to Alice, these "pretend marriages" I had with Bella during playtime would make Bella some sort of "unofficial" sister.
I thought of all people, Alice would be happy with the idea with me and Bella being together but the exact opposite happened.
She was horrified.
She was just like the rest of them.
They told me that if I continued to pursue a relationship with her, I'd earn myself a one-way ticket to prison. She was jail-fucking-bait. But that didn't matter to me. Not even the thickest steel bars can keep me away from her. Not my family. Not my friends. Not Bella's petty little friends. Not the fucking authority. No one.
Not even Bella herself…
The thought of someone trying to come between me and my Bella angered me and caused my arm around Bella to constrict causing her to stir.
"Mmm… Edward…" she mumbled before moving even closer to me, refusing any space to come between us.
God I love the way she says my name… even if she is asleep. It was even better than the moans I would elicit from her when we had made love. Although that day was a depressing one, it was one of the best days of my life. When I had made love to Bella is was pure bliss filled with love... Unlike that completely useless fuck Tanya.
Whether the entire universe was dead set against my relationship with her, she would be mine forever. It was only a matter or time until they stopped looking for us. When they did, we can put this behind us and start living a wonderful life together…
As soon as she turns eighteen, she and I will get married. Just the thought of it causes me to imagine Bella all dolled-up and in a white gown… all…
Perfect.
But my visualization doesn't stop there, I start envisioning Bella glowing and her stomach swollen with MY baby inside her. I soon find a small tear of happiness escaping my eye.
I wiped it off with my free hand before pressing my forehead against Bella's.
"We'll be together forever Bella… nothing can tear us apart…" I whispered as softly as I could before giving her a soft yet passionate kiss on the lips.
No matter how old she is, she will always be that angelic and innocent doe-eyed beauty in my eyes.
My Bella…
My own Dolores Haze…
My… Little Lolita…
So… what do you think? I know that some things are a little confusing as of now but not to worry readers! In due time will everything be revealed.
Note: If you actually read Lolita, then you'll probably notice the similarities or same directional flow the story has. Like I said, it's INSPIRED by Lolita. But I can assure you there's a distinction. Also, the Edward here is different from the Edwards in my other stories. This one is more obsessive and possessive than the other ones. But nevertheless, he is still that gorgeous hunka-man-candy that we all know and love. Hehehe… and yeah. They're age difference in my story is eight to nine years. I know it's not that big of a deal, trust me, I would know, my parents have a fourteen year age-gap, but let's just use our imaginations and assume it's some sort of crime. Ok? Bella is a minor after all…
Again, because of college, I'm super duper busy and I barely have time to update as often do. If I had it my way, I'd update everyday. So yeah… I'll do my best to make that happen. But I must say, reviewing will inspire me to update faster. Really, IT DOES. So click/tap that whore of a button down there. Wahaha! ;D
