I stood there with the sniper in my hands about to shoot. Tears streamed down my face blurring my vision. My finger twitched on the trigger.
"Bella? What are you waiting for?" Jake asked with frustration.
I let go of the gun, not him. Not Edward.
"I-I can't do this," I said as clearly as possible.
I stood there staring at Edward still staring through the window. I wiped the tears. Bella you have failed the voice inside said to me in disappointment. I looked down. I failed. I shook my head.
"Bella?" Jake asked.
"What?" I answered angrily.
"What's wrong?" He placed his hand on my shoulder.
I shrugged it off. "Nothing." I walked away without another word.
I got back to our roof and back to the suite. I didn't know Jake was behind me until we got the suite. I opened the door and went straight to my room. I turned on my lights. I looked across the street to see Edward still looking out the window. It was long while until his eyes met mine.
He frowned then disappeared from the window. My insides dropped because he had just walked away the sight of me. I walked away from the window to sit on my bed ready to cry myself to sleep because my whole existence was a fail when my phone started ringing. I snapped my head to the phone. I took the phone and walked to the window to see Edward looking out the window with the phone to his ear.
I opened it. "Hello?"
"Bella?" he said.
"Yeah," I said shyly. I felt really guilty.
"It's Edward," there was a smile in his voice.
I laughed and walked away from the window. "Edward I'm really sorry I shouldn't have left but-" he cut me off.
"Walk back to the window," he told me. I did as he said. "Bella, it's okay. I'm not mad at you. Sad yes, disappointed I didn't get to spend time with you, yes. But I understand."
"How do you understand" I asked a little confused.
"You have your reasons right?" he said and waved in the window.
"Yes."
"Then I understand."
I smiled and placed my hand on the glass of the window.
"No, you don't you have no idea."
"Bella, will you come over here?" he asked.
"Where?" I asked.
"To my apartment."
I had already screwed up why not do it some more.
"Yeah." I smiled.
"Perfect. I will see you in a minute," he said as he hung up the phone and as he placed his hand on the glass. Then he walked away from the window.
I got out of my jump suit and into a pair of jeans, and a flowery V-neck t-shirt. Might as well be comfortable. I walked out of my room.
"Where are you going," Jake asked when he saw me leaving.
"Out. I don't know when I'll get back," I said trying not to let my emotions show.
He gave me a wry smile. "Be safe."
The lobby was vacant as I walked through it. I walked through the big revolving doors to out into the noisy streets of Chicago and across the street to Edward's apartment. I rang the buzzer. Edward answered.
"Bella?" he asked.
I pushed the button.
"That's me," I said taking my finger off the button.
"Apartment 7," he said and the door buzzed and it was open.
I hurried up counting the steps as I got closer to Edward Cullen's apartment. I lifted my hand to knock. When I was about to knock the door opened.
"Bella."
Edward's eyes gleamed with happiness when he saw me. And I all but was able to control myself. I stepped forward and crushed my lips into his. At first he was stunned and didn't react, then began to kiss me back with enthusiasm. All I could feel was relief at first then came the fireworks exploding everywhere inside my body. It was like Edward was trying to leave a mark on my soul as he backed us into his apartment.
He shut the door without breaking our kiss. My hands went to his neck to hold him closer to me then he already was but it was not enough. Edward seemed to feel the same way. One of his hands was at the back of my head holding it in place the other around my waist holding onto me tightly.
When I finally needed oxygen I broke away from lips, panting heavily as I did so. Edward's lips left my skin and travelled down to neck leaving trails of fire wherever it touched.
"Bella," he moaned into the crook of my neck.
"Edward," I breathed back. "Kiss me."
He obliged smacking his lips back to mine. They were so soft and warm. I jumped up onto him so that my legs were around his waist. Edward slammed my body against the wall; I felt no pain and fisted his bronze hair. Edward's lips broke away from mine again and he moved them back to my neck, suckling on the skin there.
I pushed his head lower, tightening my hands on his hair.
"Bella," he growled against my collarbone.
I moaned while he swiped his tongue over my collarbone. I loved to be kissed there.
Edward seemed to understand and clamped his teeth over it.
"Oh God!" I cried out. Something tightened in my stomach making me want him more than I had ever wanted anything or anyone else.
I could feel him smiling against my skin as he took me to his bedroom.
