Chapter Three
Later
that night, after I had droped Erin
off at her house, I went back to the Cullens.
For one of mine and Alice's Slumper-partys.
With NO boys.
Ha.
Yeah right. Alice knew I would go to "bed" early.
Edward had
bought a bed for him and me. Not that he needed one. But I guess he
was just thinking ahead. Knowing that I wouldn't be changed until
after collage always mad my heart break, but Edward had his
reasons.
"Kassity?"
Edwards's voice swam though the darkness. He had been hunting with
Emmet and Jasper, and he always knew that I would wait for him to get
home before I went to sleep. Yet, every time, he asked if I was
awake.
"Yes
Edward?" I said with a slight sense of sarcasm in my voice. I was
positive that he caught it.
As he climbed into bed with me, it
felt as if someone had thrown a giant ice block at me. But it didn't
matter. I was already used to this feeling.
"Kas?"
Edward asked. I already knew what it was about. The beautiful,
singing, English accented Robert.
"Yeah"
I replied after a few awkward moments in silence.
"You like him
don't you." This wasn't a question, it was a statement.
"Who?"
I had decided to play dumb, which wasn't that hard for me to do
around Edward.
"Robert." His voice rose to octaves, and at
this moment I knew that he had sat up and was very angered by my
response.
"What are you talking about Edward?! I LOVE YOU!" I
shouted. Not that I needed to, the whole house could already hear our
conversation. Stupid super sensitive hearing.
"I saw the way you
looked at him. And he dazzled you didn't he?" Now this was
getting out of hand. I shouldn't have daydreamed about Rob at all,
but what was I supposed to do? Act like he didn't affect me?
Buts
that's what I had to do. In order to keep the peace between me and
Edward I had to.
"I love you Edward." I mumbled. Knowing that
no matter how softly I spoke he could hear me.
Edward took that as
a yes. And stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind him, and
I could hear the water splash in the river as he ran across it.
I
decided to walk downstairs to see what they had heard. Of course they
heard everything.
"Hey guys." I said so quietly it almost felt
like I hadn't said anything.
"Hey kass."
Alice, standing at the bottom of the steps, looking really
sad.
"What's
going on?" I asked after a couple minutes of mine and Alice's
staring contest.
"Well, uh, when Edward went out hunting, Robert
told him that he had a special power too."
"So what's that
have to do with anything?"
"Well, his power is uh, um."
"Alice
just tell me!"
"He can make anyone fall in love with him. If
he likes them, they can't not like him back."
So that's what
this was about! Robert liked me! And that's why Edward was acting
so antsy.
"Oh." Was all I said. Then I walked back upstairs,
grabbed my keys. And decided I would go home. Get as far away from
that English accented, amazingly haired go- NO STOP! You can't
think like that.
On my way home, someone jumped onto the roof of
my car. I guessed it was Edward, so I hadn't pulled over.
But
when the door opened, I got one on the biggest shocks of my life.
