Bella's POV
I was quiet as we drove back to Charlie's. I still didn't understand why I had reacted so strongly to Kate and her sister's. They were all beautiful, Kate had hair like honey and she was the shortest, even though the one with golden hair was the second shortest both of them seemed to look up to her, even the tall one with hair like fine white sand. She was probably the oldest, I guessed, not sure if she was Tanya or Irina. I knew Carmen was the one who was married to Eleazar, the only man, she was obviously the caramel haired beauty hanging off him.
"Bella," Edward finally spoke up and I turned to face him, he looked serious. "I need you to stay away from the Denalis." He instructed.
"What," I stuttered in response. "Why?" And why does the thought of being away from them bother me so much?
A low growl erupted from his throat and his eyes darkened. "Because they aren't safe Bella." Edward explained, his eyes boring into mine. "I want you away from them because I don't want you hurt." Edwards face softened and he smiled at me. "I am just trying to protect you Bella. You do understand that don't you?" He insisted and I nodded.
"I understand," I told him hesitantly. "I, I will stay away from them." I agreed and he smiled warmly.
"Good." He praised before pulling me into a kiss. I kissed him back, feeling his cold marble like flesh against my own, adding fuel to a flame within me that I knew he would ignore. "You know I love you, don't you Bella?" Edward asked me when we parted.
I nodded, my whole body tingling at the kiss we had just shared. "I know Edward, I love you too."
He smiled and stroked my cheek affectionately before releasing me and turning back to his driving.
