Disclaimer: Eh...No Engheesh. No Twilight ownded?
I finally gave up my protests, remembering that it was Edward Cullen carrying me, not Mike, nor Tyler; I could at least slow them down. My heart raced, every time I was told that someone was visiting, I wasn't exactly in my happy place. I Isabella Swan was only staying still because my personal Romeo was holding me in place. And he was my superman, and there was no kryptonite in his case.
I hummed in annoyance for a bit before settling into the icy cage his arms made, pressing my face into his chest to inhale the luxurious scent he gave, not even realizing we were on our way up the stairs, towards his room.
"Bella, we need to talk a little bit," he said softly and he opened the door, shutting it quietly behind him and going to the long leather couch, setting me down first and perching himself there afterwards, and I frowned, ignoring the stiffness in his movements, as if his joints were tired, and he was aging.
Which I knew was impossible.
"Those two…I don't think it's going to be very safe for you right now. And until I know why exactly they are interested in you, I don't really want you alone." He mumbled, sliding his hands up to cover his face, almost as if he was hiding a moment of weakness. "Edward? I don't care," I mumbled, sliding over and taking hold of his wrists, tugging on them enough for him to show that I wanted them to stop blocking the face of my god.
"What do you mean, Bella?" he grumbled, sighing but complied, letting his hands fall down to humor me. "I mean…well. I mean, I've been enough life threatening experiences, why should this be any different?" I said, almost cautiously, knowing my protector wouldn't be to happy from that comment.
"Because Bella! I don't know why they want you! They can block me out with no apparent strain! They're strong. And…I don't know how much longer I can protect you." He said quietly, almost unwillingly but I was a bit jilted by his words. "You're saying…" I breathed out fighting the urge to jump his Apollo-ness. "Damn you gods." I hissed, falling backwards on the couch, groaning, it was too hard to be mad at that face.
"Damn you gods?" he asked curiously, looking thoroughly lost and leaned over me. "You, get!" I snapped, pushed him and his sweet odor away from me so I could think straight, grumbling some more as I sat up, gathering my thoughts. And finally, Edward's light bulb clicked on, "Silly silly Bella." He teased for a little. Before he grew serious once more, "What were you going to say?" he asked, as if his mind weren't set, as if I could sway whatever decision he had made that involved my life, and I was left as a bystander of way too often. "I mean! That, you're saying, that a family of vampires, with many special powers, can't keep me from falling?" I said, surprised by my own dumbness. "Bella, haha, this is serious." He groaned, shifting a little on the couch. "Fine, but Edward, really. You know good and well I fall apart when you leave, I know you know that I hate endangering your family, so…What do you plan on doing?" I whispered, knowing I couldn't talk him out of his serious mood.
"Well, you'll
have to trust-"
"We just talked about this."
"Well, I was just putting it out there."
