Envy
Chapter 1
A shiver passed through me as I stepped out of the silver Volvo and into the cold air. Although it was mid-July, today's temperature had reached its lowest of 57 degrees.
It didn't help too much when a pair of cold arms slid around my waist and pulled me closer to the owner of them. I couldn't help but feel warm-inside at least-by Edward's touch.
I quickly began tracing every part of his face, desperate for a distraction. I didn't want to let go. His face was so smooth and unbelievably gorgeous. Edward grabbed my hand and gently pulled it away from his face after kissing each one of my fingertips.
"Bella," he sighed. Unlike Edward, I couldn't read minds, but I immediately knew what he was thinking and the words that were about to spill out of his full lips. "You must tell him now. Eventually, you'll be wearing you're ring and Charlie will be wondering who presented you with it."
I thought about this for a moment and, being my stubborn self, I tried to protest, knowing there was no use. "Maybe...I don't have to wear it. Why do we need some measly band to prove our love for one another?" I innocently kissed the tip of his nose before quickly turning away, afraid to see his expression.
He chuckled quietly and my head suddenly shot up. He was wearing one of his adorable, model-like, breath-taking smiles, but it didn't touch the hurt in his eyes. "Oh Bella, you know how much this means to me. But I understand your intake on this and am willing to do anything you have in mind."
I hated to see him upset. It was like watching a baby teeth; a cute, perfect, gorgeous baby. "No, no. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Edward. If that means having to have it on paper and tell everyone I'm getting married at 18, then I'll do it." I forced myself to smile while trying to spit out 'married' without gagging.
He crushed his cold set of lips onto mine which sent my heart speeding faster than vampires can run-if that was possible.
He began leaning away slowly, savoring the moment and not letting go of my face to control my breathing. "Isabelle Swan," his velvet voice commenced, "I Love you. And I will do anything that makes you happy-even if it means running off to Vegas and skipping the part where you tell your father that you're marrying a lethal vampire and possibly becoming one of us within a few weeks."
Possibly? I thought to myself. I'd have to bring that up later when I wasn't so eager to get the next hour over with. "No. I have to do this. It's the right thing to do." I stated firmly.
"Since when did you decide to do the right thing?" A smirk skulked onto his face. "I know it certainly wasn't when you met me. Although, I don't mind your decision…"
"I knew it was the right thing the second I laid eyes on you." I thought about this for a second remembering the first time I saw him in the lunchroom-thinking that I wouldn't cross his mind once. And here we are, discussing our marriage.
"Does that mean you're only with me for my looks?" The playful smile still hadn't left his face.
"So, you do think you're irresistibly gorgeous?" I answered returning his expression. "I knew it was impossible for anyone to be as selfless as you are."
"Not necessarily," Edward objected, with his smile fading a bit. "You just seem so intrigued by me-physically." He slowly leaned toward me with his smile returning. He was trying to make a
point and succeeded with flying colors because he-and everyone within a 2 foot radius-could hear my heart flutter. "Well then," he stopped just in time for his lips to be moving against mine as he spoke. "It's time."
