BPOV:
"Ok Edward. Mike Newton asked me to go to the movies with him and Jessica. I really don't want to go but I don't want to hurt Mike's feelings again. So I told him yes."
"And? That's not bad." he said.
"Well, I want you to go too." I told him.
"Bella. You...please tell me you haven't agreed to double date with Mike Newton. Of all people, Bella, really? I will have to deal with all his thoughts about you. How could you do that?" he asked.
"I'm sorry. But I can't stand it. Being here when Emmett becomes the human...vampire pillow. Please Edward. Can't you block him out? I do it all the time." I pleaded.
That last part made him smile.
"Ok, I suppose I can endure two hours. I am kidnapping you for a week." he said.
Somehow we had gotten in his room. I couldn't remember how. But Edward does that to me. I could walk around for days not eating or sleeping if I was with him.
I looked up at him now, I so badly wanted him and I had him. I came to a realization that this fairy-tale life with this wonderful man was mine! I began laughing hysterically.
"She is going into hysterics!" I heard Alice say, "what'd you do Edward?"
"Uh...I didn't do anything...I don't think." he was worried, but I couldn't stop laughing. "Bella!! Bella what's wrong? Why are you acting like this?"
"I...ha ha...love you!!" I yelled, then jumped into his arms.
"Bella...you scared me to death!" he complained, "Sometimes I wonder how you make it through the night."
"That's an easy one," I said, "I have you!"
"Forever love"
"Ugh!" I jumped down from his arms,"Sorry, but I really don't want to talk to you right now."
"Wha-what?" he stammered. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No silly!" I said "I'm just really, really hungry."
"Oh" he exhaled, relieved "What would you like?"
Alice had somehow disappeared from the room after she knew I wasn't going insane.
"Hmmmmm...we should go to the grocery store. Vampires don't need simple human food." I said teasingly.
"Alright, I'll meet you in the car." and he ran off. What? Why did he do that?
I started walking out of his room and turned the corner into the hall when I jumped a foot in the air and screamed bloody murder.
"Oh! Geeze Edward I thought you left!" I exclaimed.
"Isn't that what you wanted?"
"No! What gave you that idea?" I asked.
"Hmmmm...well...'You make me so happy but sometimes I like to walk on my own'" Edward imitated my voice perfectly.
"Hmph!" I crossed my arms over my chest, "I changed my mind. Sweet me off my feet Mr.Cullen." I said sarcastically.
Within a matter of seconds we were at the Volvo and driving to the store.
"I can't wait until I don't have to eat." I said, "Food that is."
"I can." Edward mumbled.
"Edward we have been through this before. You already have my soul. Even if you do believe that's what you're doing, it doesn't matter because it is already yours. So, on that note. Why not make it easier on both of us?"
"And I have told you before that I would love to make you eternally damned, don't get me wrong. But in doing that I would feel so incredibly selfish. So, on that note. Why not keep you human?" he asked.
"Because, it is my body and I should be able to decide what to do with it. So, now it's settled." I said.
"Bella...we aren't talking about...sex here. This is your entire life." he complained.
"yeah, it is my life. And I want to spend it all with you! So why don't you just stop fighting me on this?"
"Ok, ok. I just thought I would try one more time to discourage you. Then it's decided."
"I was never undecided" I mumbled mostly to myself, crossing my arms across my chest in frustration.
"We're here." Edward was on the other side of the car, opening my door. I stepped out, careful not to trip.
"Let's go get some food." I said.
"I have one question for you. May I ask?" he asked.
"Of course." I said, a nervous blush threatening to expose itself.
"Do you promise to answer?" he challenged.
"I promise." I said, instantly regretting it. Edward could be very creative.
"Do you want kids?" he asked. The blush that had been creeping up was now full blown on my face.
"What?" I shouted, "What kind of question is that?"
"A simple one. yes or no?" he asked again.
"No" I answered simply.
"And why not?" he asked.
"That's two questions." I said.
"Please!" he said, unleashing the full power of his gaze on me.
"Ok, I'll answer." I said.
"Wait! I would like to rephrase my question." he said, as I was walking human pace with him down the aisles of the uncrowded grocery store.
Ooooo...a sale on cereal!
"Mhm. And what is the 'rephrased' question?" I asked.
"Do you not want kids because I can't give them to you?" he asked.
I froze.
"Are you asking, that if I were not with you, would I want kids?" I asked.
Then an old lady passed by, then stopped in front of Edward.
"It's ok son. My husband is infertile too. Life goes on." said the creepy old lady. Then she walked away.
"Ok that was creepy." said Edward.
"yeah. And no. That is not why I don't want kids. In case you don't remember , I took care of Renee for lord knows how long. And now I am taking care of Charlie. I'm tired of taking care of people. The only person I ever want to take care of is you. I can't do that unless I'm immortal." I explained.
"Do you think you have enough food?" Edward asked.
"Um...oh I guess." I answered, looking at the cart full of random items. I placed the baby food I had accidentally picked up back onto the shelf. I started walking back to the front of the store to check out when I realized something wasn't right. Where was Edward? I turned around to see him standing there, hands clenched in fists, jaw tightened. I pulled the cart over and ran back to him.
"What's wrong Edward?" I asked, longing to touch his face but knowing that right now wan't the time or place.
"The pack is here." he said sternly.
"Oh god! Why can't they just let us alone?" I asked, then blurted out, "Is Jake with them?"
"Yes." he said.
Yay! I can't wait to see Jake!
"Oh, well that's cool." I said," What do they want?"
"Oh nothing. They don't even know we're...too late. They caught my scent. They're coming to talk to you." he said.
