Reunited

I had about two minutes before Edward and the others returned according to Alice. It had only been an hour since he left but the need to see him was exasperating. I paced up and down the living room nervously, I knew what happened tonight would have made Edward upset and I wanted more than anything to reassure him, after all if it wasn't for me being so selfish and thinking only about my needs none of this would have happened.

I stopped pacing and sat on the sofa next to Alice, "How long now?" I asked her impatiently. Alice looked at me and smiled, then walked over to the front door. As soon as she reached the door it opened, causing my heart to skip a beat at the site of Edward.

Edward's topaz eyes locked with mine instantly, sending the butterflies in my stomach fluttering. He walked through the door and stopped, leaving a good ten feet between us. I wanted to close the distance between us, but I dared not move. The last think I wanted was Edward loosing control again because of me.

"How do you feel Edward?" Carlisle asked but Edward and I were still looking at each other, lost and oblivious to anyone or anything around us.

The intense stare he was giving me was sending a warm feeling through my body; his eyes were full of love, making my heart melt. I realised I stopped breathing and drew in a jagged breath. Edward immediately looked away, breaking our connection and turned around to face Carlisle.

"You were right Carlisle" Edward said slowly. "I don't feel the same way."

His words sent a shiver through my entire body. "You don't... feel the same way?" I managed to ask with a lump in my throat. Before my tears had a chance to fall, Edward was kneeled in front of me as I sat on the couch. He grabbed my hands in his and kissed them.

"That's not what I meant love" he looked into my eyes and stroked my cheek with his hand. Relief washed through me as I realised that whatever didn't feel the same, had nothing to do with his feelings towards me. I also realised that Edward was close enough to kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing my face closer to his, but before I could kiss him, he stood up and took a few steps back.

He kept his eyes on mine, letting me know that everything was ok between us, but I couldn't understand why he didn't want me to kiss him or be close to him. Was he still struggling with the scent of my blood?



"Edward" Carlisle's voice forced Edward to tear his gaze from mine "Is Bella's scent as strong as before?" Edward glanced at me, then closed his eyes and inhaled.

"Yes" he whispered "but it's different" he opened his eyes and my heart rate began to speed up.

His once topaz eyes where darker and continued to get darker as he moved his gaze from my face, down towards my body before meeting my eyes again. The intensity in his eyes caused me to blush. He looked at me like he wanted me, right here, right now.

I shook my head, trying to regain some composure as I remembered that all his family where in the same room as us. "Is it different in a good way or a bad way?" I asked with a shaky voice.

Edward smirked "Good way"

I was so relived and yet curious to what he meant by that, after all, if it was different in a good way, why could he be near me?

I stood up and walked towards him, stopping until I was about three feet away from him. He kept his eyes on me and I kept mine on his, trying not to think about the fact that six other vampires where looking at us.

"Why is it in a good way?" I asked him.

"It's better, much stronger..." his eyes moved from my eyes to my lips which caused me to lick my bottom lip instinctively. I took a step towards him slowly, I still wasn't sure whether he wanted me near him, but I couldn't help myself. All I wanted was to be in his arms again, to kiss him until I stopped breathing.

". . . only now, I don't have the urge to drink you blood anymore"

"You don't?" I took another step closer to him, waiting for him to step back but he didn't. His perfect, beautiful face and immaculate body was a foot away from me, I let my eyes roam over him, from his messy bronze hair to his designer shoes and up again until they fell on his flawless lips.

"No" he whispered.

The look in his eyes sent a shiver through my body and I didn't care that all his family where in the room with us, I didn't care that Jasper could feel the need I had for his brother, all I wanted was him. He was my future husband after all.

I took the final step toward Edward, pressing my body to his.

"So does that mean it's easier for you to be around me" I placed my hand on his chest, tracing my finger around a button on his shirt. He leaned down until his lips where inches from mine, his breath deliciously clouding my mind and making my heart beat faster against my chest.



I leaned in further. He pulled away.

"Can you guys give us some privacy?"

I was still standing close to him, waiting for his lips to touch mine but Emmett's voice snapped me out of my trance.

"Oh it was just getting good!" Emmett's remark caused me to blush. I looked towards them and they were all sat on the couch, as though they were watching a romantic film, the only thing missing was popcorn.

"Are you sure you can handle it Edward?" Carlisle asked.

I noticed the slight nod Edward gave his father and then he shook his head slightly at him, confirming my suspicions that they were having a conversation.

"Well if you think it's ok then we will leave you two alone" they all stood up and in a flash were by the front door.

"We will be back tomorrow night" Alice said and I knew they would be; Alice was never wrong. They all smiled at us before disappearing, leaving Edward and me alone for the second time in a day.

As soon as they left I felt Edward push me up against the wall, pressing his body against mine, his lips inches from my lips.

"Now, as much as I am sorry about interrupting us earlier, I have nothing against us continuing were we left off."

And with those words, his cold lips crashed onto mine, finally giving me what I wanted and sending a pleasurable sensation through my body.

Yes, let us continue shall we?
