Lovesick Chapter 2: I Am Awake, a twilight fanfic

I'm going to keep going withthis one even if it has no interest behind it LOL. I like it.

Review if you like it, I need some reassurance :)

A/n I do own Twilight

The light of dawn streamed through my window, but that wasn't what had woken me up.

"Tá mé 'mo shuí ó d'éirigh an ghealach aréir
Ag cur teineadh síos gan scíth 's á fadú go géar
Tá bunadh a' tí 'na luí 's tá mise liom féin
Tá na coiligh ag glaoch 's tá 'n saol ina gcodladh ach mé ,"someone was singing, it was beautiful.

I fought to wake up and focus on where the voice was coming from.

"Sheacht mh'anam déag do bhéal, do mhalaí 's do ghrua
Do shúil ghorm ghlé gheal fá'r thréig mé aiteas is suairc
Le cumhaidh i do dhiaidh ní léir dom an bealach a shiúl
Is a charaid mo chléibh tá na sléibhte ag gabháil idir mé 's tú ," it was like a warm breeze, caressing me.

Sitting up slowly, I looked around, Colleen was in my room getting my laundry. The sun hit her and just the right angel making it seem as though she had halo of fire around her, she hadn't yet pinned up her hair. She must have assumed we were all still asleep.

"Deireann lucht léinn gur cloíte an galar an grá
Char admhaigh mé é nó go raibh sé 'ndiaidh mo chroí 'stigh a chrá
Aicíd ró-ghéar, faraor nár sheachnaigh mé í
Chuir sí arraing 's céad go géar fríd cheartlár mo chroí ,"she place clothes from my hamper into her basket, oblivious to me.

I stood, not thinking as clearly as I should have been, I wanted to touch her hair, to see if it would burn me.

"Casadh bean sí domh thíos ag Lios Bhéal an Áth'
'S d'fhiafraigh mé díthe an scaoilfeadh glais ar bith grá
'Sé dúirt sí os íseal I mbriathra soineanta sámh
Nuair a théann sé fán chroí Cha scaoiltear as é go brách," I inched closer to her, her voice was sweet, like honey.

I reached out quickly putting my hands deep into the mass of deliciously red curls, scaring Colleen into dropping her basket, whipping around to face me. She looked startled, scared, I didn't want her to think I was going to hurt her.

"Shhhhh," I put my lips to hers.

She didn't fight me, she kissed me back as eagerly as I kissed her. My hands never left her hair, gasping for breath, we broke away from each other. The blush rose in her cheeks like the morning sun rose in the east, it made her that much more beautiful to me.

"Edward, um, Master Masen," she stumbled on her own words, "That was highly inappropriate, I'm the help, please take care that it doesn't happen again. I may be lower class, but I do have virtue and morals, and a heart."

She looked down, her long lashes hiding her eyes from me, I did not let her go.

"You fascinate me, I know this isn't something I should be doing, I understand the sheer impropriety of it, but I can't seem to let you go," I confessed.

We stood in silence, our hearts beating against one another.

"That song, what did it mean,"

"It's called, I Am Awake, in English, Would you like me to sing the words to you, in English?" she didn't try to move from my arms.

"Yes, I would like that," the thrill of her here, so close to me was like nothing I had ever felt.

"I have not slept since the moon lit the heavens last night
Just setting the fire and stroking the ember to light
The household's retired and I am left here to sigh
The roosters are crowing all the world is asleep barring I

My soul is enthralled with your mouth your face and your brow
For your sparkling blue eyes I abandoned contentment and glee
Due to longing for you I'm unable to travel the way
Oh friend of my bosom the hills come between me and you

Wise men proclaim that lovesickness can leave one unwell
I did not believe it until my poor heart came under its spell
A malaise in my craze I failed to ignore
With a hundred and more aching pangs it's pierced my heart to the core

I met a banshee by the Fairyrath near Ballina
I asked her politely if one could be cured of this "grá"
And she answered me kindly in tones so simple and low
"Once it sets in the heart it cannot be freed evermore", "She had her eyes closed as she sang and I was sorely tempted to kiss her eyelids, but I restrained myself

The song, it described very accurately how I felt, did that mean she felt the same? I searched her eyes, this strange creature pressed against me, against all the rules.

"Are you as infatuated with me as I am with you?" I asked her, my brow furrowed.

"Yes, I'm afraid I am, I have no idea why. It's like I am drawn to you, like a child to confections," she sighed and relaxed against me.

"It makes no sense, we only just met yesterday, do we fight it?" I asked her.

"Aye," she sighed, "I think we must."

She placed her head to my chest, I relished the feel of it, the hair on my arms standing. We would have to fight this, we couldn't allow this to happen, my heart felt heavy at the thought of letting her go.

"You should let me go, so I can finish getting your laundry and pin up my hair before your parents wake," she slid her arms around my waist, I shivered at the feel of it through my think nightshirt.

"I know, please don't pin up your hair," I grabbed a handful of it, smelling it, "please."

"I have to, please, let me go," I felt her stiffen.

I let her go, watching her kneel to pick up the laundry she had dropped. She stood, looking at me sideways, smiled and started to walk out of the room, singing.
