Chapter 2

After a few minutes he pulled away and dragged me off to class. In home room our teacher printed on the black board Happy Birthday Bella for the world to see. Ugh. Just want I needed more attention. Several people came up to me during the day to wish me happy birthday I smiled and thanked them and went on my way. On my way to lunch I felt cold dainty hands cover my eyes.

"Yes Alice?"

"So as you know today is your birthday," she began.

"No," I replied cutting her off sarcastically.

"Well I have a special surprise planned for you and you are going to love it."

"Really Alice? You know how I hate surprises."

"Trust me your going to love it." She laughed as she sauntered off to the Cullen table. I looked to my right and saw Edward standing by the door.

"Do you know what this surprise is?" I asked him.

The smile on his face told me he did.

"Edward please tell me you know how I hate stuff like this."

"I am not going to ruin this for my dear sister," he chuckled, "Relax love it will be fine. I am going to drive you home after school and after Charlie gets home we will head over to my parents house."

"If I didn't love you so much I would hate you." I replied taking a seat next to Alice and the rest of the Cullen's.

"Happy Birthday Bella!" Emmet boomed forcing me into a great bear hug. I looked at him fuming when I suddenly felt my mood start to change.

"No fair Jasper. Quit messing with my emotions." I looked over at him and he gave me a puzzled look. I glanced over at Rosalie, the only Cullen who hated me, and she was glaring at me. Why she hated me I had no idea she was like a vampire Malibu Barbie minus the tan.

After the lunch period was over Edward walked me to our English class where we were reading my favorite book the notebook. I sat down next to Edward and pulled out my book. I began to think of allies' and Noah's relationship and compared it to mine and Edwards. They were each other's first love and Edward was my first love. I began to daydream about my life with Edward when the final bell rang. Edward walked me to my locker and helped me gather my books for my home work.

"Just one hint please." I begged.

"You will find out in due time my love all in due time." He put his arm around me and walked me to my truck. As soon as his arm was securely around my shoulders I instantly felt safe and warm. That's how I always feel with Edward and the feeling was amazing.

With in a few moments we reached my house, and before I could even blink my eye he was there opening my truck door to help me out. I grabbed his hand and led him into my house. I set my stuff down at the kitchen table and led Edward into the living room. I sat down on the couch and snuggled up to his chest breathing in his heavenly scent.

"Why do you love me? " I asked him

"Because my love you are my world my only reason to exist. You bring joy to my life that I have never experienced before. You complete me. Everything you do fills me with awe; though I am selfish for letting you love me back I do not regret it."

Tears filled my eyes as I sat up and looked into his. I grabbed his neck and pulled him toward me falling back onto the couch kissing him. My breathing started to get irregular and I began to feel hot and sweaty. I parted my lips slightly allowing Edwards tongue access. I felt it slip in and I moaned with pleasure. My roaming hands found their way to Edwards's shirt and began to lift it up when he jerked backward flinging himself to the door.

"Damn it Bella," he scolded, "You know we can't do this."

"Why the hell not?" I asked.

"Your father is just a few blocks down the street for one thing, and I cannot let myself lose control. Not with you, if I hurt you I don't know what I would do with myself."

"You won't hurt me Edward. You love me you would be kind and gentle and caring. I know you would never hurt me I Trust you why can't you trust yourself?' I was so frustrated with him.

"Because Bella I am a vampire if I lost control for just one second I could crush you and kill you, then what would I do with myself?"

"You won't" began but he cut me off.

"You don't know that Bella."

"Yes I do why can't you trust me and have a little faith in yourself"

"No Bella your father is pulling up the subject is closed."
"For now,"I glared at Edward as Charlie walked in the door, carrying what smelled like fish.

"Hey Bells!" He called out, "I thought you would be over at the Cullen's so I got some of harry Clearwater's fish fry."

"We're getting ready to leave now dad." I grabbed my coat and headed out to my truck.

"I'll have her back before ten chief Swan," Edward said to my dad as he hurried out the door after me. He reached me in no time and slid into my driver's seat of my truck.

"Bella love please don't be mad and spoil the evening Carlisle and Esme worked so hard as did my brothers and sister."

"Don't you mean sisters?"

"Well Rosalie did not actually help per say"

"Why doesn't she like me?" I asked Edward as we headed to his house.

"She is jealous of you."

"Jealous of me." I laughed, "Why she is like a vampire Barbie."

"She is not happy with our life. She would have rather died. While she is grateful Carlisle gave her another chance and she has a loving husband, you can do something she can never do."

"What?" I asked curiously.

"You can have a child. Yes Rose can adopt but it is not the same. You can have a child and grow old and have a normal life that she can never have and she thinks you are stupid for wanting to throw all that away to become a vampire like us. Part of what she says I believe that's is why we can't do what you desperately want to do."

"What make love?" I asked

"Well that too sort of but I was talking about turning you. I won't do it Bella I will not end your life and damn your soul."

"Well as far as I am concerned my soul is already damned because if I can't be with you forever it's not worth living. I don't care about my soul whatever take it now do as you wish but I know what I want and I know other vampires who will give me what I want if I asked them to but I am waiting patiently because I want you to be my maker."

"I can't Bella"

"You can you just won't," I replied getting out of my truck as he parked in his driveway. He came around beside me and grabbed my hand.

" at least try to look happy for them please?" he begged.

" Ok," I replied and I took his hand. He led me up his steps and into his house. As he opened the front door I was blinded by a flash of light.
