Hello readers! Keep in mind that this is a different more bolder Edward. Things are starting to cook!

CHAPTER TWO

Epov

Seventy years ago I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I left the one I loved to protect her from me, when really I should've have stayed for she was safest when she was in my arms. Isabella Swan, her name rolls of off my tongue like a sweet song. Sometimes my heart still cries out for her, but lately another has been filing the corners of my mind.

Six months ago, Alice saw her first vision of her, and that's exactly what she was a vision. Her long black hair in loose waves framing her beautiful caramel face, her plump lips, chocolate eyes that I could see myself getting lost in, and the way the light shines in her smile. She was beautiful, and for some reason that I hadn't discovered, I wanted her. I wanted her badly, in more ways I wanted Bella.

So I went to her in Ohio, and I saw Stevie, my beauty in person and I smelled her sweet blood. She didn't see me and that's the way I wanted it to stay, I couldn't bear to hurt my family again, but this desire I had for her was strong. Forgive me first love, I never wished to give my heart away, but you gave away yours. Could this be my chance? She was a trouble maker, not purposely but as my Bella found a way to fall this lovely angel found trouble. I could be her trouble, the dormant man in me thinks but I put him away and do what my head says. I do what I'm best at and I leave, no matter how much I wanted to stay.

Now here she is in the Forks High School parking lot looking as nervous as ever, and I couldn't help but smile. My family takes notice and follows my line of sight and then their thoughts hit me like a ton.

'Looks like Eddy's got a new obsession' Emmett

'This time I will support my brother and will be civil, and if he tells a soul what I am thinking I will kill him' Rosalie

'SHE'S HERE AND I'M SO EXCITED AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT' Alice

'She's so nervous, poor thing. I will not screw this up for you this time Edward' Japer

Jasper still sometimes blames himself for what happen. I must admit I was angry at him for ruining my one good thing, but he is my brother and I will always forgive him. Rosalie however is always full of surprises and I am no shocked now then I was on the first day we met.

I look to my favorite sister Alice, and she mentally tells me everything will be alright and to "just be yourself, but not your vampire self." I chuckled and ruffled her hair as I watched Stevie go into the office. I heard her strong heartbeat, her musical voice, and her absolutely hilarious thoughts. Her mind was different like Bella's in the way that I could only hear her at random moments, but I treasured those moments like none other.

A flash of her schedule came to me and Alice gave me a knowing look and my siblings wished me luck as I headed off to be a road block in her path. I stood in the almost empty hall pacing until I heard her soft footsteps and saw her come around the corner, hair fanning out around her. She was breath taking, and she wasn't watching where she was going. I smiled when she ran into me and cursed something Bella never did.

"Shit!" She looked up at me and thought, very cute boy. "I'm sorry; I wasn't looking where I was going."

"It's fine. I've never seen you before, what's your name?" The sight of her slackening jaw almost made me laugh, but I held it in and continued to hold her gaze.

"Stevie, my name is Stevie Benders." I know your name, I thought, I just wanted to hear you voice again.

I wanted to feel her skin, so I reached out my hand for her to grab silently praying she would. She didn't disappoint and when her hand fell into mine it felt like home. I noticed how she didn't flinch at the cold of my skin all the while fighting the urge not to kiss her soft hand, so instead I shook it and said with my grin, "My name is Edward Cullen."

Spov

Mr. Tie Me up Tie Me Down asked to look at my schedule and noticed that we had English, Math, Gym, and Study Hall together. Thank you God, if I get to see him almost all day everyday this might just be the town for me, I thought.

"Would you mind if I walked you to Spanish?" Hell no!

"Lead the way Edward."

He stretched out his arm for me to take and said, "I'd rather you'd walk beside me", and I blushed. His arm was covered with muscles much like Forks sky is covered with clouds, and I loved the feeling it.

"Where are you from?"

"Umm... I moved here from Dayton it's this small town in Ohio. Not small like Forks, well it's actually not small at all compared to Forks. It has a couple 100,000." Great, I'm a babbling mess.

"That is actually a big city compared to Forks!" He laughed and it sounded like the wind chimes my mother received as a gift from Bermuda, and it made me smile. "Stevie is a peculiar name for a girl. How'd you get branded with it?"

I chuckled for I have told this story many times. "My parents met at an Aerosmith concert and both shared a love for Steven Tyler. My father loved his voice and my mother his lips." Speaking of lips I'd like to suck yours off your head. "It's kind of ironic two black people at an Aerosmith concert, but they named me after the thing that brought them love."

"It suits you." My face scrunched up in confusion, "The name, Stevie, it suits you perfectly."

I hadn't noticed, but we were standing in front of the Spanish classroom and everyone was starring at our exchange. I blushed again, and looked back at Edward to say goodbye but he had this strange look in his eye. It was as if he didn't want to say goodbye and the fact that he did was killing him. My arm on its own accord reached out and I ran my fingers through his hair to comfort him. His head turned towards my arm and he kissed the inside of my wrist. My stomach did back flips and I resisted the urge to moan. WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING TO ME, I thought. He looked back up at me and smirked.

"See you next period Stevie." And he walked away making me want to chase after him.

I walked into Spanish finally meeting the stares of my peers and they all looked as if they seen a ghost. Does he not talk to people or am I not allowed to talk to him. The teacher cleared her throat and received my attention.
"I'm Senora Baumann..." She hesitated not knowing my name.

"Stevie Benders" I said loud enough for the whole class to hear so I could skip introductions. Senora Baumann (whom I learned was from Peru, but it was quite obvious from her heavy accent) told me to take the seat in the back. I headed towards my new seat and noticed that the person in the seat next to me had the same pale skin and topaz eyes as Edward. As I sat she looked at me, smiled, and mouthed a hello. I gave her the nod back. She was all but two steps short from drop dead gorgeous and had beautiful long following blond hair that any girl back home would die for.

She slipped me a note, I see you were with my brother, my name is Rosalie.

I hope you don't mind, I sort of ran into him, literally.

Ha-ha! No it's good to finally see him smile.

Well, then I'm happy to be the one to do that.

"Miss. Hale, paying attention back there"

"Lo siento. I distrajo." (I'm sorry. I distracted her) Senora Baumann looked well pleased that I knew some Spanish while Rosalie looked impressed with a single blond eyebrow raised. "I'm fluent" I mouthed back, she just winked and smiled.

Class continued on and soon the bell was ringing. Rosalie waited for me and we were heading out of the class when I yet again ran into a brick wall which was again Edward.

"It seems you just can't stop running into me." He said with his lopsided smile, and at the sight of it my own smile broke out.

"I'm starting to think this is purposeful." I said smirking back, and at that moment I got lost in his eyes forgetting Rosalie was there until she cleared her throat.

"I see you've met my sister Rosalie" Edward recovered quickly eyeing his sister with a strange look.

"Yes, we met." She said, and then turned to me, "I hope to see you sitting with us at lunch today Stevie"

"Sure! Well... I mean I don't want to intrude or anything." I was looking at Edward for I knew Rosalie wanted me there, but did he?

"We would be offended if you didn't." He said

"Then I will be there. Thanks for the invite Rosalie!" I wondered if she heard me because she was already walking away.

She spun around on one foot with so much grace that any ballerina would be jealous "You're welcome and call me Rose!"

Edward grabbed my hand and I felt that electrifying spark shoot up my arm again. I learned in the short walk to class that I loved the feeling of his hand in mine. His thumb rubbed small circles on the back of my hand. How could someone I just met make me feel like this, like I'm free falling? Unconsciously I leaned into his arm tightening my hold on him and I felt his hand squeeze mine in response. I could hear his smile and I felt the muscles in my own face straining from mine.

We arrived to English and I had to introduce myself to the class again, but my eyes were on the Greek God in the back row who was smirking at me. The teacher gave me a book and led me to the only seat available, right in front of Edward. If someone were to ask me what page we were on or what the hell we talked about in class, I wouldn't be able to tell them. During the entire class period Edward's hands were accidently brushing across my back and every time I would involuntary shiver, but this shivers were so good.

Epov

My God, What is he doing to me? I've never felt like this before, and I sure as hell don't want it to stop. Her thoughts were purring, and I was making it happen. It was all me and not these other measly little boys that wishes it was them. Her thoughts were encouraging me to be braver than I ever had been with a woman.

The teacher said something about Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnet of the Portuguese and I saw in her mind which poem she would be reading. So I leant forward, not caring if anyone saw me, and put my lips near her ear and upon hearing her breath hitch I whispered the poem in her ear.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Spov

I could feel his lips at the base of my ear and shivers of pleasure ran up and down my spine. I quickly looked around to see if anyone notice this intimate exchange going on, and it seemed if everyone was in their own world as I. As soon as he began he was gone, and I noticed other students talking amongst themselves. I turned to see him sitting back in his chair lazily looking well pleased with himself.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing to me?" I blurted and covered my mouth with my hand.

He leant forward and grabbed my hand from my mouth and played with my fingers. "Do you have any idea what you're doing to me?" He countered and I blinked rapidly at the sensation he was giving my fingers.

I leaned in even closer. "What's going on between us, I've never felt like this." I laughed, "You make me feel like I can fly."

"You make me want to do more than that" He said looking up at me through his eyelashes.

Then the bell rang.
