There he sat, calm and giving me a beautiful godlike glance with, his face gently twisted in a crooked smile that would break my heart. He appeared to a marble statue. What about him as a human? I tried to imagine him, skin flushed with color, warmth from his fingers when he touched me, and sparkling emerald green eyes. The sun crawled through the trees, hitting his skin with a magnificent glory. Each wrinkle of skin shone with the luster of millions of stars, a feature only a vampire would have. Instead of the green human eyes he had dark purple bruises under his eyes and the charcoal irises constantly reminded me that he thirsted for me. My face twisted in slight disgust. His fair and happy look quickly changed to one of despair and confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" his face twisting back into my favorite crooked smile.
I turned around and looked at the beautiful scenery around Carlisle's mansion.
"I'm just thinking about you, good and bad."
His face dropped the crooked smile at the thought. We sat in silence for a while looking into each other eyes. His face lifted into my favorite smile as the wind came and tousled my hair, and then he tucked a loose strand behind my ear. Electricity flew through me as his cold, hard fingers brushed against my skin. He turned into a statue once more, a statue too beautiful for words. He looked at me with an expression that I was unsure of. After a while I discovered he was studying me.
"Okay, now why are you looking at me like that?"
"Just thinking about how I happen to thirst, fall in love, and not be able to use my powers on the same particular human?"
His words stung slightly. He obviously saw my expression.
"No, I don't mean it like an insult. I just think it's peculiar."
"Yeah, it is weird. I mean-"
"Edward!!" a deep grumbling voice interrupted me.
"What does Emmett want now?" I breathed in an annoyed voice.
"We're going for our monthly hunt." he said as when quickly stood.
"Coming Emmett." he said no louder than an inside voice.
"Promise you won't take too long?" I put on my puppy dog expression.
"Of course." he leaned into me and we shared a brief kiss. My heart didn't start to race as his sweet smell flooded into me, or pull him close to me when the kiss was at its sweetest, but I still had to catch my breath when he finally pulled away.
"I'm getting better at this." I told him.
"Oh Bella," he sighed, "when will you ever stop thinking I'm a god? I'm just Edward Cullen."
"Yes, you are. Edward Cullen, the handsome, lion eating, love of my life."
He paused to giggle at the comment, and then he stood up and charged away to the company of his "family." I stood there alone, looking back to the spot where we were sitting. I started the walk back to the Cullen house and saw a bush rustle, unnaturally.
"Alice? Emmett? Jasper?" no answer returned.
"Carlisle? Esme? Your 'children' are pulling pranks on me." still no answer.
"Rose? C'mon don't tell me it's you the mature one." the silence deepened.
"Edward?" I finally squeeled.
I ran, finishing the the long hike, I could have sworn I saw a streak of red dashing by with a cooling breeze. It must been my imagination. I slowly arrived at the Cullen house, hopped into my old car, and turned on the roaring engine. I pulled off the driveway and drove home to Charlie.
"Come back soon." I mumbled because my imagination was truly scaring me.
