A/N… okay, so I was supposed to updating the guard but the file has vanished in the vast sea of my way too big hard drive! I cant find it so I've started again. Should only take me a day or two, you know I'm pretty fast at updating. So anyway… enjoy!
Chapter 4
Bella.
"done" he said as he sat down on the bed across from me.
He handed me some pain killers and a glass of cold water.
"I cant wait. I haven't had pizza in months" I told him. He smiled "I've never had it. It smells vile though so I know in not missing anything"
"shut up, pizza is the food of the gods" i laughed. He rolled his eyes "yeah, the gods of dirt and cardboard"
"how would you know, you've never tasted it" I said with a smirk. I had this argument all the time with Emmett. "don't knock it until you try it"
"why would I want to try it?" he asked with a laugh.
"so I can prove another vampire wrong" I smiled.
"another? Who have you proved wrong before?"
"my other brother Emmett. He was making fun of the black forest gatto I was eating so I jumped on him and shoved a piece in his mouth. He loved it"
He looked shocked. "you jumped on a vampire and shoved cake in his mouth" I just nodded. "He eats it while he plays on his video games now. Says it's the only human food he doesn't want to bring back up"
He shook his head. "this is the strangest thing I have ever heard. A human living with vampires"
"wanna hear something even weirder" I asked with a smile.
"you're a leprechaun!" he gasped. I laughed and smacked his arm "dick!"
I liked peter. He was a nice guy. He's just as Jasper described him, except Jasper forgot to mention that he is drop dead gorgeous!
Seriously. Every other vampire paled in comparison to peter.
He had floppy brown hair. And a strong face. His nose is straight and perfect. His lips were plump and kissable. Slow down Bella!.. his body was toned and muscular but not huge like Emmett. Just big. And his eyes…… oh god! His eyes. Red was my new favourite colour. I would always think of peter from now on when I saw the colour red.
"pizza's here" he said bringing me out of my thoughts. How long had I been ogling him?.
He ran downstairs and was back in minutes. He placed the boxes on the bed and a bottle of coke and a glass on the bedside table.
"thank you so much" I said as I opened the box. It smelt delicious. Judging by the face he was pulling I'm guessing he didn't think it smelt so good.
"so go on then. What were you going to tell me" he said.
That your gorgeous and I would like nothing better than to lick you!
I shook my head "uh… oh yeah. My best friend is a werewolf"
his mouth dropped. "a werewolf!" I nodded "well technically, he's a shape shifter. But he changes in to a horse sized wolf"
"good god!" he said looking at me oddly. "any other mythical creatures in your closet"
I shook my head "not that I know of"
The pizza was delicious. "ohmygod" I moaned. "peter, try this" I said and held out the slice. He laughed "no way"
"pleeeeeeaseeee. I want to know what it tastes like to you" I told him. Really I just liked making vampires eat human food. It was funny.
"alright little lady, I shall make you a deal" he said with a wickedly sexy smirk.
"okay. So what's the deal?" I asked.
"for the next three days, we compare tastes. Whatever you taste, I have to taste and vice versa"
"deal" I said and held out the pizza with a grin. All my pain had gone now thanks to the extra strong pain killers.
He leaned forward and opened his mouth. Dear god, that mouth looks sinful!
I watched as he took a bite and chewed.
"surprisingly nicer than the man I had for lunch" he said after a minute. I burst out laughing. It was weird how ok I am with peter's diet.
"strange girl" he said as laughed but laughed with me anyway.
"so you and Jasper met when you were with Maria" I said. He looked shocked but I continued "what was your human life like?"
"I…uh, my family were jewellers. It was just my parents and myself. I cant remember my father much but I remember my mother perfectly. She hated being rich. Hated it when my father would buy her gowns and jewels. She said love was enough" he smiled at his memories.
"smart woman" I told him "I know exactly how she felt"
"you don't like expensive things?" he asked.
I shook my head "never have. Edward hated it. He wanted to buy me cars and flashy clothes but I wouldn't except them. I preferred my rusty old truck
"I'm impressed. Vampires tend to be very rich and like the lifestyle"
I raised one eyebrow "I'm not a vampire"
He smiled and nodded "so are you planning on becoming one?"
I immediately thought about Edwards lie and frowned. "yes. Alice and Jasper said they would do it when I want"
"and when do you want to?" he asked.
"I'm not sure. When I was with Edward I couldn't wait to join him. I didn't want to age while my boyfriend stayed seventeen forever. But I'm almost nineteen now. I think I'll wait until in in my twenty's"
"good. Choice" he laughed " You don't want to Be stuck as an awkward teen for the rest of existence"
Urgh. Imagine If i ended up like Edward! The thought made me shiver in disgust.
"are you cold?" he asked then shook his head "of course your cold. Your sitting in your underwear, talking to a vampire" he picked up a remote control and pressed a button. A fire immediately cackled to life in the fireplace by the bed.
"smooth" I laughed "bet that works well with the ladies"
"you tell me. You're the first lady I've had in here. And seeing as though your more than half naked, I'd say it works" he winked.
"ha fucking ha" I said while blushing. He was the first man to ever see me in my underwear besides Edward that time.
"so your not a secret incubus then?" I asked with a smile. Ever since Jasper had told me about the girls from the Denali coven were succubi, I have been teasing him and Alice about being sex addicts.
He leaned closer to me to answer "why, would you sleep with me if I were?" he asked huskily.
My face flushed scarlet and he laughed. "I'm sorry I couldn't resist"
I flicked a piece of pepperoni at him which he caught in his mouth.
"so tell me. What are the cullens like?" he asked.
"they are great. Esme is the best mother in the world. She loves so fiercely and would give you the world if it made you happy. Carlisle is the both a father and a mentor. He's one of the nicest men you will ever meet. Rosalie as a goddess. She's stunning. We didn't always get along but were ok now. Emmett is one of my favourite people in the whole world. I love him to bits. He's my gently giant. He's big and scary but a big softy at heart. Jasper of course you know and alice is….. Well, alice. She's a hyper pixie. Full of love and life"
"and what about Edward?" he asked.
I groaned. "Edward is…..different. He's sweet and loving and perfect but at the same time he's controlling and jealous and stubborn"
"not to mention frigid" peter smirked. I giggled "yeah, that too"
"not to sound sleazy or anything but, how the hell could he refuse you!" he said. I saw his eyes flicker over my scantly clad body.
'he's a vampire virgin" I shrugged.
"your kidding!" he laughed. I shook my head. "I was his first girlfriend"
Once the laughing had calmed down he spoke again. "how are you feeling?"
"better. Thank you"
"do you feel up for a tour of the house?" he asked. I nodded eagerly.
In the next second, he scooped me up off the bed into his arms.
"are you ok?" he asked. I was breathing heavier than before. I nodded. The truth was that being so close to him was causing my body to react. He was holding my half naked body close to him and my chest was flush with his.
"this is the bathroom" he said. I looked around. Everything was black and silver. On closer inspection I noticed that everything was black marble.
"its beautiful" I said looking from the claw foot bath to the giant shower.
"I'm glad you like it" he smiled. My heart started pounding when he smiled.
"moving on" he said and whisked me down the hall. "office. Though I'll never use it" it was a smaller room with a desk and loads of book shelves.
"spare rooms" he said pointing to the two closed doors. "I want to show you my baby"
I laughed "your baby?"
"yeah. I had her specially made to suit my needs" he grinned.
"ohhh, so it's a blow up girlfriend" I said with a smirk.
"shut it, kitten" he growled. Oh sweet baby Jesus, That growl! my eyes fluttered back as I thought about that growl.
I didn't even feel us going down the stairs.
"Bella. I present to you………… my baby!" he said and turned me around.
in front of me was the biggest TV I had ever seen.
"holy shit" I said in awe.
"three hundred inch" he said proudly and ran his hand lovingly down the screen.
"so no doll?" I laughed.
"no, I prefer the real thing sweetheart" he winked.
I blushed again. Damn my blush.
I looked around the room so I didn't have to look at him. It was amazing. Everything was dark but not in a bad way. It was comfortable. The couch looked so soft and it was roughly the same size as a small family car.
"wow" I said "I love this room"
"really?" he asked in surprise.
"yeah its perfect. Dark but not too dark and totally comfy"
He smiled "I'm glad you like it. Charlotte would have hated it"
"she obviously didn't have good taste then" I said without thinking. He looked down at me and raised one eyebrow. "oh crap, I didn't mean…… I just…uh……your very……..I meant…."
He burst out laughing "oh I like you Bella"
The sentence made me tingle. stop it Bella!
"we can order some food online after the tour and have it delivered tomorrow so you don't starve. I don't want Jasper killing me for underfeeding his sister" he smiled.
I rolled my eyes "Jasper's not my dad. But thank you"
He just winked. There was something different about peter. He wasn't like any vampire I had ever met.
"what's got you thinking so hard?" he laughed and I realised I was staring at him.
I blushed and looked away "I was just think that you aren't like any vampire I have ever met" shit, why did I tell him that?
He just stared at me for a minute. "is it because of my eyes?"
I shook my head "no, its something else. I've met plenty of human drinkers. But none like you"
I realised then that we weren't moving. He was just stood in the kitchen, holding me and staring at my face.
I looked away. "this kitchen is amazing" I told him. He looked round "I know. And I'm going to be able to use it"
I yawned widely causing him to chuckle. "lets go up to bed" he said. His eyes widened when he realised what he'd said. I just laughed.
He smiled slightly and shook his head before grabbing his laptop and running back upstairs.
He dropped the laptop on the bottom of the bed before laying me carefully against the pillows. He went to pull away but stopped. He was inches away from me.
Why had he stopped? Why is he still so close? Is he going to kiss me? Do I want him to kiss me?
I looked from his eyes down to his lips and back up again. He was doing the same.
"Bella?" he said after a minute "I'm kinda stuck"
"stuck how?" I asked and cocked my head to the side.
He pulled his chest back slightly.
"oh fuck!" his shirt buttons were caught on the front clasp on my bra.
"looks like one of us is going to get flashed and since I haven't seen boobies in a while I'd like to keep mine on, if you know what I mean" he winked.
"peter Whitlock, you're a pervert" I laughed.
"peter pervert. that's me" he grinned.
I rolled my eyes and unbuttoned his top button. "no flash for me then" he said with a fake sigh.
"not this time, this one's for me" I said and sent him a wink of my own.
I tried desperately to keep my heart beat steady and my breathing even as I slid each button open slowly.
I got past the trapped button and freed it easily but kept going. I looked up at his face as i opened the last few. His eyes were dark and on mine and his lips were parted slightly.
I got the last one open and slid his shirt over his shoulders, ignoring the pain from my own shoulder as I did so.
I gave the shirt a little push so it pooled around his back and elbows as he hovered above me.
I lowered my eyes from his to look over him. He was glorious. I had never seen a finer man in my life. His shoulders were well toned and just begging to be bitten. His chest was sculpted by the gods themselves.
I looked back up to his face. Was he closer? fuck I didn't care!
He breathed my name so low I almost didn't hear it.
The next second a loud ringing sound pierced our little bubble.
"fuck!" he hissed and sat up. Disappointment flooded me as he reached for the mobile on the bedside table. He didn't pick it up, he just pressed a button.
"yeah?" he said out loud.
"peter, get your shit. Were going out" a male said over the loudspeaker.
"no can do, kid. I've got company" peter said and opened up the laptop.
"company? Bring them along, I brought some pussy with me" the man laughed.
Peter's eyes quickly flickered to me but I looked away.
"damn it, Jace. Your on fucking loudspeaker. Could you not be so vulgar"
"what?" the man said "I didn't mean anything bad. I've got candy and her friend Victoria with me. Come on man, come out"
I was feeling really bad now. I'm getting in the way of his life and I'd only been here a few hours.
"what the fuck are you doing with that slut?" peter asked suddenly.
"fuck you peter!" a woman shouted down the line.
"seriously dude. Bring the guy along. We'll have a blast" the man was once again on the phone.
"I have female company, jace" peter told him.
"shiiit! Its about time man. I was beginning to wonder if you'd gone gay" the man chuckled.
"shut the fuck up, jace. Its Jasper's sister" peter said and sent me a smile. I couldn't even bring myself to return it.
"Jasper, Jasper!" the man asked in disbelief.
"the one and only" peter chuckled.
"fuck, I have to meet her. I'm on my way"
Peter quickly looked at me "is that ok?"
"sure why not" I shrugged. I wasn't tired after our little moment anyway.
"dude , she sounds hot! Is she hot?" the man asked excitedly.
Peter chuckled "she can hear you, you know"
The man just laughed.
"jace" peter said.
"yeah?"
"lose the sluts" he said before hanging up.
"I'm sorry" I said before he could speak.
"for what?" he asked, shocked.
"for getting hurt. For you having to help me. For being a burden. For stopping you from going out. For….." he placed a cold finger against my lips.
"one . I didn't want to go out. Two . You are definitely not a burden. Three . I didn't have to help you. I chose to help you. And four . I feel like a dick for saying this, but I am really not sorry you had the accident"
I couldn't talk because his finger was still pressed to my mouth so I made a what! Sound by humming.
"being here with you, even though I don't know you. Has made me happier than I have been in years. I've been alone for ten years Bella. So I don't care how insensitive I sound. I'm glad you came off your bike"
I didn't know what to say. Luckily I didn't have to reply as his friend arrived.
"peter!" he called out.
Peter was still watching my face. I suddenly realised that I wasn't dressed. I looked down at myself. God! I was black and blue.
"shit!" peter breathed. The next think I knew, I was wearing his shirt and he was buttoning it up.
"I'll just go talk to him for a minute. He can be a bit much" he said and got up.
I just nodded.
As soon as he left the room, I got myself comfortable. Well as comfortable as I was going to get. The pain killers were wearing off a little.
I looked around the room, my eyes falling on the mobile on the bedside table. I shot it a dirty look. "stupid phone" I muttered.
I couldn't believe I had just taken peter's shirt off. I smiled to myself and breathed in his scent. He smelt like that fragrance that that my moms husband wears only I can tell that peter's is natural. What's it called?
jean Paul something. I remember I used to steal it from Phil because I loved the smell of it.
"Bella. Can we come in?" peter called.
"yeah" I called taking a deep breath. I really hope this one doesn't want to eat me. Most vampires do!
Hope you liked it! Up next, peter's pov.
Please review.
