(Bella POV)
Not in a Literal Sense:
Edward stared at me for at least ten minutes after I told him I was human. After about a minute and a half, human things started happening. I got bored just staring at him, standing in the same position. I walked over to Alice who didn't look surprised at all. After Edward was able to move and talk, he walked over to me and pulled me out of Alice's arms. He looked pretty furious.
"What did you just say," he asked me, anger burning from his voice, setting my ears on fire.
"Edward, calm down. You wanted me to be human my whole life. Never vampire. I am giving you another day with the human me. You should be excited, not mad. I am human and there is only one thing you can do to change me back," I told him.
"What is that? I am willing to do it right now," I told him.
"Edward, if you are going to change me right now, I will not tell you."
He bit his lip and closed his eyes and asked, "What are your 'demands' towards the subject?"
"You cannot change me back before 11:50 tonight. At the twelfth ring of midnight, I will be human forever if you do not… kiss me."
"Bella, you realize that kissing you isn't the hardest thing to…" he trailed off and then looked at me, his eyes crazed.
"Your scent is back," he said.
"Then you better get a hold on yourself because biting me and injecting more venom into my system could be fatal towards me."
He looked very confused.
"I already have my personal venom and your venom, what you injected into me when you originally changed me, stored away somewhere in my body. When you kiss me, the venom will flow through me again."
"Bella, I… I… I want you… a vampire. I… I know that I always wanted to keep you human but… please Bella. Just… just let me kiss you now," Edward said, broken invisible sobs in his voice.
"Edward, I didn't get this from Carlisle for nothing. I didn't do it just to make you eat your words. I also just wanted to remember the human side of me."
"Bella, do you know how dangerous this could be? For you and me? I had trouble restraining myself when you were human. Now you are human again and I am not sure how close I will be able to get to you."
"Edward, you are going to have to get used to it quick or you will have to change me again."
"I'll have to change you back no matter what," he said.
"But with this, you have to kiss me before midnight. If you don't, then you have to bite me or inject more venom into my blood stream again. This is what you get for wanting me to be human."
"I didn't mean it in a literal sense."
"Edward..." I started. I couldn't continue. I was too choked up on the subject. The way he was right now, it made me feel like this was a stupid plan. I started crying.
He was over to me right before the first drip of natural salty water was out of my eye. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I leaned my head against his shoulder.
"Bella, don't cry. If this is what you want, you can have it. I just want you happy."
I hesitated so he asked, "What would you like to do first as human?"
"How about a trip down Memory Lane," I said. It sounded more like a question than a statement.
