My fingers drummed against the table, I was waiting for my dad to go upstairs to his bedroom so that Edward would come over. Anger washed against my face, it was already nine o' clock and he was still watching his game. His deep voice bellowed from the family room, laughing at some loser who missed the ball. "Hey dad I think I'm going to go to sleep," "Okay Bells, goodnight." I didn't move, instead calling out, "Shouldn't you be getting to bed too?" I saw his head turn around, as he looked me in the eye, "Your not planning to sneak out are you?" I frowned, "What the heck? Of course not! Is it like bad for a daughter to want her dad to get some sleep? Sheesh." I stood up and stomped my way to my bedroom, I was angry that he had seen so clearly through my face and wished I didn't just throw a seventeen year old tantrum at my dad. "Can this day get any more worse?" I whispered up to the ceiling, apparently it could. I felt a wetness against the insides of my underwear and suddenly realized what time of the month it was. "Great" I groaned as I got up from my seat and dug through my drawers getting to my tampons and pads. After finishing up in the restroom I wormed my way back to sit on my bed, I pulled my legs up holding them close as the pain in my abdomen increased. Strong hands dragged themselves against my hair and with a start I realized Edward was next to me, I let his caress envelop my head and soon I was leaning against him moaning softly. "Don't worry he's not mad at you," Edward whispered into my hear, "He was just surprised." I nodded not trusting my self to speak, "Maybe if he knew you were…hormoning…he would be a bit more understanding." I rolled my eyes up at my boyfriend, "Like I'm going to tell my dad I'm on my period, that's just as embarrassing as having my boyfriend know." I muttered the last part, wishing he didn't have amazing hearing. He chuckled, "I always know Bella." I sighed, a question coming to mind. "It doesn't bother you?" He looked away reminding me about my own cycle, "The blood is dead it has no affect on me." He said it so monotone that I realized he didn't want to embarrass me further by discussing it. I smiled as he opened up his arms to hold me closer. I snuggled against his cold marble chest, the ice cooling off the fire.
