PROLOGUE
ALICE CULLEN
Only when I opened my eyes I realized what I had just done. I stared the bed table, biting my forefinger while I pulled the blanket over my body. I wasn't cold, I just didn't want visual evidences that it had actually happened.
As if it would make any difference.
The dirty walls of the cheap motel, weakly lighted by the old lampshade would eternally make me remember every detail of that night, for more that I forced my brain to forget them. But did I really want to forget that? I didn't know.
The strong arms embraced me from my back and I felt a cold body getting closer to mine. He kissed my shoulder and tried to turn me back, but I refused. Like I said, I didn't want visual evidences of my crime. I held my knees and stood laid in fetal position, hoping he would give up. But he wouldn't, he never does.
Being at least five times stronger than me, he didn't need much effort to turn me to him. As a last try to hide from my conscious the totally inconsequent I was, I strongly squeezed my eyelids, avoiding looking him in the eyes. Then he called my name.
I started an invisible and mute instant fight with myself, deciding if I should already open my eyelids or not, until I was forced to open my eyes. Emmett opened a big smile, making the dimples emerge on his cheeks and making me wanna punch him with all my strengths. Why didn't he feel as guilty as I did? "Because he's Emmett", my own brain kindly answered for me.
I mentally gasped and declared myself defeated. Or a traitor - maybe that was the most suitable word. I stared at Emmett with the most regretful look I could, and he simply kissed me. That was it. I was officially defeated. Tired of fighting, I held his face in my hands and kissed him back, it was easier that way. I was easier to worry about everything else later.
It was easier to accept the fact that I was in love with that teddy bear.

NOTES: Here it is, the English version =P
My English is not that good, so maybe the translation is not as good as it could be. But even so I hope you like it! ^^
The poem before the prologue is from a Brazilian writer, so it's a little bit hard to translate – sorry for that.
And so this is it… An Alice/Emmett fanfiction. =)
It was the first one of that shipper in Brazil, and most people really like it. I'm waiting to see what you think of that. ;)
Hope you enjoy it ^^
Cold kisses,

PS: by the way, it would be really nice if I had a beta reader from US, Canada, England, Australia, NZ, or any other country that actually speaks English that I can't remember right now… =P
Cause I can translate the general idea, but sometimes I just have to go through some details… a beta reader would really help with that… and I guess this is the only way I can keep uploading the English version.
So, if anybody is interested, e-mail me, or talk to me by msn ()
Thank you all =)
