.::Edward::.

After our flight landed we walked to the car rental counter to pick up the keys to the audi I had rented before leaving.

We were on the road heading to the house Esme and Carlisle owned here in France and had gladly let us borrow for the week.

I hadn't told Bella we would be staying at a house instead of a hotel so she was confused when she noticed that the more I drove the less buildings and people she saw.

"Where are we going?" she asked looking out the window.

"It's a surprise, but I can tell you it's a little place I like to call home whenever we come to France" I really did want to surprise her, so I just decided not say a word about the house.

"I do have to tell you Edward…I don't like surprises" she turned to look at me.

I smirked at her.

She smiled and didn't say anything afterwards she just turned to look out the window again.

I still couldn't read her thoughts; not knowing what she was thinking was somewhat frustrating.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

She turned to meet my gaze. "Just wondering where we're going, well more like trying to figure it out." She said scowling at the last part.

I sighed. "You really don't like surprises do you?"

"No, I really don't. Why do you want to know?" she seemed to notice something so then added "Not that I don't like surprises, I mean why do you want to know what I'm thinking?"

"Not being able to read your thoughts is frustrating; I'm used to being able to read everyone's thoughts." I answered looking away.

"Most of us feel like that all the time you know"

"True" I smiled.

Silence filled the car until we finally reached the house, Bella apparently was so lost in her thoughts she didn't even notice me get out of the car and walk over to the passenger's side until I opened her door.

"Close your eyes" I told her knowing she hadn't paid much attention to the house and that I still had the chance to surprise her.

"No, didn't I just tell you I hate surprises?" she said pouting and trying to look at the house but I covered her view, she looked so cute but I was now immune to it since I Alice used the pout against me all the time.

"Oh no, that's not going work on me come on" I said grabbing her hand, pulling her out the car, and covering her eyes with the other.

"I never agreed to this you know" she said as we walked inside the house.

"And I never said you had to agree"

"So…what do you think" I told her, taking my hand away from her eyes.

Bella gasped when she opened her eyes and I waited for her response as she started to look around.

"Edward…wow…this place is amazing" she said walking over to the window covered wall that faced the lake.

"Hold on, I'm going to go get our bags and I'll show you to your room"

"Let me help"

"No that's fine Bella I can get the-" she didn't let me finish my sentence she had already gotten her suitcase.

"Its fine, I'm not used to people doing things for me so I much rather take my stuff" she said with a smile.

"I see that, come on let me show you your room then" I said guiding Bella up the stairs.

I decided to give Bella the extra room next to Alice's and across from mine.

"Here we are" I opened the door for her.

"Cool room"

"Esme's doing, she loves to decorate"

Esme had decided that the theme for this room would be black and white but to give it some colour she had added purple as well. The walls were all white with one simple purple line running in the middle, except for the one were the bed was at that one was all black a mirror with a purple frame hanging from it. The carpet was white with a purple rug under the bed. The bed was white and low with purple and black sheets, I really hoped Bella didn't ask why there was a bed in this room, on the opposite wall there was a black leather couch just like the one I had.

I was glad she liked it.

She put down her suitcase and then I left her too look around the room as I went to put mine down.

"Edward?"

"Yeah?" I said going back to her room.

"Umm…why is there a bed in my room if well, we don't sleep?" she said with a confused expression.

I chuckled at her expression, but then again that was the one question I was dreading she'd ask.

"This was going to be Alice's room before but she decided she wanted the one next door and that one already had a bed, so we just left this one in here, but turns out she doesn't use that room either…"

"Wait why would Alice need a bed though?" please tell me she really isn't asking that; as much as I would love to answer I much rather not talk about why Alice would need a bed for.

I internally shivered before answering.

"All I can say is that it was supposed to be for Alice's and Jasper's personal use…" I trailed off and looked at her to see if she understood what I meant, and didn't need for me to explain any further.

"OH!" she said looking down nervously, I was pretty sure she would've blushed if she could.

"Yeah… want me to give you a tour of the house?" I said changing the subject and glad she had understood.

"Yes, sure" she smiled at me.

I showed Bella Alice's and Rose's room first, well more like closet, even though we all had our own rooms Alice was always in Jasper's room since they were married and the same went for Rose and Emmett, so since neither one of them used their rooms Alice had turned hers and Rosalie's room into a two giant closets, to put clothes in whenever we came here, since she shopped for everyone and didn't even let us repeat our clothing.

"Whoa…that's umm a lot of clothing" Bella said looking inside the room.

"What? There are clothes in there?" I asked looking inside the room.

"Mhmm, a lot too"

"That's weird Alice never leaves her clothes and she only stocks this place up whenever we come here to France."

That was really weird why would Alice leave clothes here when she never does…unless she had already seen me and Bella come. That pixie probably saw us coming, and to think I was trying to avoid her coming with use to France, she had known all along. She could at least have called and told me that we didn't need to bring clothes.

I wonder what other things she has seen happening during our trip.

"Come on I'll show you the rest of the house."

I was finishing showing Bella the two rooms when my phone rang. I checked the caller ID.

Alice.

"Alice is calling do you want to look around while I talk to her?" I asked Bella.

"That's fine" she said heading going down the stairs.

I made a mental note to finish showing her around later, before I answered the phone.

"Hello Alice"

"Hello dear brother, so how do you like your trip so far?" she said with hyper as usual.

"You should know, you are the psychic one in the family"

"Yeah, you're right, and I do have to say that you are being completely boring...I mean seriously showing her the house? That can wait for later…" she was right but right now I don't think it was a good idea to take her out to a place were there was a lot of people.

"So you did know…did Esme know as well?" I asked remembering the clothes and also to change the subject.

"No, she had no idea…that's how I knew you were going because I had a vision of her suggesting where you should take Bella, and I thought it would be romantic and that you two needed this time alone, also there's always time for shopping later" I heard her giggle "oh, by the way I can't believe you had the guts to do what you did at the airport"

I had already forgotten all about that.

"Thank you Alice" I heard hear giggle again and I think I also heard Jasper in the back so I decided to cut the conversation short.

"Alice seems you're…erm… sort of busy so I'll just let you go, and I have to get back to Bella."

"Yeah, ok, have fun. Oh and Edward we picked up your car Jasper and I will be going to get you when you get back and have fun with Bella." she giggled.

"Bye Alice" I said, and the line went dead not giving me a chance to ask what she meant by saying 'Have fun with Bella'

I couldn't stop thinking about what Alice had said I felt anxious to find out what it was, it made me excited to think that maybe something happened between Bella and I, to try and calm myself I went to look for Bella.

I went downstairs and Bella was nowhere to be found, but then I noticed the small door in the living room that led out to the lake was open, Bella was lying down by the lake looking up at the sky and I noticed it was dark now.

"Beautiful isn't it?" I asked as I sat down next to her.

"Huh? Oh yes very, I've never seen the sky like this, filled with so many stars" she sat up "In forks it was really hard since it's always cloudy and phoenix, there were just too many lights in the city."

"Did you like leaving in phoenix?"

"Hmmm, I guess so it was a really nice place. There was my mother, the sun and less rain from the little I can remember…"

"I'm sorry"

She turned to look at me, "For what?"

"Because if I wouldn't have bit you, you could be with your dad right now, and you would be able to go back and visit your mother whenever you wanted to, spend time in the sun."

She let out a soft laugh while shaking her head.

"I'm not, yes I miss them but what can I do what's done is done, and plus so far I have actually enjoyed the time I have spent with you and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be here, somewhere in France, staring at this amazing star filled sky…I think a thank you fits better..."

This made me happy; it reassured me that she didn't loathe me for what I had done even though she had told me before she wasn't mad.

"Though I do wish that I would get to see them even if it's from far away, it wouldn't really be right to just show up when they think I'm dead…"

"Yeah that's true, if it were me I would probably freak out" I said with a small laugh and she joined.

"Don't worry though I'll take you to see them when we get back" I assured her letting silence fill the air.

"So what do you usually do to entertain yourself? I mean not sleeping gives you more time to do things and it probably gets boring not doing anything…" she asked breaking the silence.

She was right not having anything to do did get boring, it was hard to find something exciting to do, usually I would just go hunting with Alice or stay at home listening to music or I went to my meadow, played baseball with the family and other things, but ever since she came into my life the nights had changed.

The first couple of nights while she was turned I had spent them in the room with her and I didn't care I liked being there, next to her, but I couldn't tell her that I would probably sound like a freak.

"Well I would usually just go out and hunt with Alice; I've always been closer to her than any of my other siblings, stay at home listen to music or when the weather is right we go out and play baseball" I answered leaving out the meadow.

"For someone who has a lot of time to have fun, you are sort of boring, well except for the baseball part that sounds sort of fun I would like to play but I suck at sports" she laughed.

"Oh so now you think I'm boring after you said you actually like spending time with me?"

"Yeah, I do…why do you have a problem?"

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't…"

"So what are you going to do about it if you do?"

I went to my sitting position to crouching and gave her an evil smile.

"You wouldn't dare" she said getting up quickly and taking a few steps back, probably guessing my plan that I would 'attack' her.

"Are you sure?"

"No not really, but if you do dare I guess you're going to have to catch me first" she said running into the woods nearby laughing, as I went after her.

I ran as fast as my legs would go but even though she was a newborn I was able to catch her.

I had my arms wrapped around her waist before she had the chance to dodge me.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Bella laughed "Away from you so I don't get killed for calling you boring."

"Well then this should teach you not to make fun of me" I said tightening my arms around her.

"Oh yeah, I'm so scared" she said not bothering to pull away.

"What do you want to now? I can finish showing you the house if you want" I told her not knowing what else we could do, when I was around her I felt that nothing else mattered, I forgot everything else so I just went with whatever came to my mind first.

"Can we do something else? It's not necessary for you to show me the whole house."

"What do you want to then?"

"I don't know watch a movie or do something exciting…"

"Ok, then let's go back to the house and I'll try not to be boring" I said letting go of her waist.

"Come on let's go then" she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the house.

.::Bella::.

Every time I touched Edward, it was like I could feel some weird vibe from him, but the best part about it was that it felt so good. As we made our way back to the house Edward practically kept dragging me because I kept stopping on purpose just to annoy him.

I just ended up annoying myself though, because it didn't seem to bother him at all so I decided to keep up my pace with him.

We reached the house too soon, I didn't want to let go of his hand, I loved the way his skin felt against mine.

"You still want to watch that movie?"

I noticed my clothes where dirty from running around and I felt like taking a shower, I didn't know if vampires needed showers but that didn't matter.

"Hmmm I was actually wondering if could take a shower first?"

"Yeah sure" He nodded and walked upstairs leading me to a door next to Alice's room.

"Towels and whatever else you need" he said pointing at a towel rack and then to a counter in the huge bathroom, I should be expecting everything to be extremely big I mean just the house was humongous, but I just couldn't get used to it.

"Thanks" I told him as he walked out.

"No problem." he gave me a small smile.

I closed the door after him and then stripped out of my clothes and walked inside the shower turning on the water.

It felt so good to shower, but I could feel the warm water on my cold skin start turning cold as well, so I rinsed the shampoo then the soap from my body and turned off the water.

I stepped out of the glass shower grabbing two towels one for my hair and one for my body. I wrapped the towel around my body and ran the other one through my hair to dry it a little, then found a brush and ran it through my hair just to get some of the knots out.

The mirror was fogged up so I ran my hand through it to see myself since I hadn't had the chance to do so, I looked different, paler than before my eyes were now burgundy I definitely had to go hunting soon, no idea how I was able to keep so much control with my thirst as a newborn. From what Edward had mentioned I could easily loose control and attack someone.

When I was done I noticed that I had forgotten to bring a change of clothes with me to the restroom.

"Just perfect" I muttered.

'I guess I'm going to have to go out there in a towel' I thought tightening the towel around my body.

Gathering my dirty clothes I opened the door to the restroom and walked out.

Just when I thought I couldn't get any unluckier Edward walked out of his room almost bumping into me.

"Bella" he breathed when he saw me standing in front of him. I just stared back at him trying to figure out his expression and the emotions in his eyes.

After that I don't know how it happened, Edward was kissing me and instead of stopping I kissed back, it felt so right.

Focus Bella, I said to myself remembering that I was still only wearing a towel. It took a lot to stop myself but I knew I had to, that was the right thing to do.

"I umm think I'm going to go and change," I mumbled walking at vampire speed to the room leaving Edward standing in the hallway. I could feel Edward's gaze on me, but I preferred not to turn around knowing that if I looked at him it would do me no good that I would want to go back and kiss him again.

I let out a big breath leaning on the closed door. Was it possible for Edward to feel the same way I felt when I was around him? Did he feel the same way I felt when he was kissing me? I needed answers, but those could wait maybe during time I could figure them out on my own, perhaps even this week could be enough time to get them.

I ran to my suitcase and put on whatever I found first, I ended up wearing pair of jeans and a purple shirt which matched perfectly with my room sort of weird.

I sighed when I heard a knock on the door and began to feel nervous.

"Bella?"

"Yes Edward, come in." and he did but then abruptly stopped.

"What's wrong Edwar-" I noticed what he was staring at; he was staring at the towel I had been wearing earlier and forgot to pick up from the floor.

"Oh...sorry." and stumbled to pick it up I leaned down to grab it.

When I turned around our eyes locked for a moment until I broke away. "What was it that you wanted?" I asked walking out to the balcony the room feeling the need of fresh air. I could feel his eyes burning into the back of my head as he followed and stopped by the doors.

"Bella, I just wanted to apologize for… for the kiss I shouldn't have done that, especially without your permission..."

"Edward, don't worry about that." I reassured him not turning around.

"Bella look at me and tell me that you forgive me…please" He said coming over and lifting my chin up with his finger so I would look at him.

"I forgive you Edward, I'm serious don't worry about it" I said looking straight into his eyes.

We kept staring at each other and I observed he was now leaning on the rail I didn't even notice him move, but I had noticed his eyes were darker now.

The light coming from the sky changed, the sun was out, and Edward's was scintillating. He looked amazing in the sun, feeling the urge to touch his skin so I moved closer to stand in front of him and reached out and placed my hand on his cheek noticing that mine was also sparkling. He closed his eyes.

"Our skin does that out in the sun that's why is not really a good idea to go out, it would make real obvious that we aren't human" he said opening his eyes and grabbing my hand in his and began to play with my fingers as the sun bounced of my skin.

"I think it's better than turning into ash" I joked.

"It is" he smiled at me and I smiled back.

"The heat feels so good too," he gave me an agreeing nod.

"Do you want to go out? I don't know do something fun instead of being here at home?"

"No I'm fine here at home, plus I don't want to risk loosing control and attacking someone. We know what happened after you did…you got stuck with boring little me" I smiled.

"Yeah you're right. There are two problems though, one you're not boring at all I actually enjoy your company and two I'm glad I did what I did or else you wouldn't be here with me." he said still playing with my fingers.

"Want to watch the movie then?"

"That sounds about right"

He stopped playing with my fingers and grabbed my hand lacing his fingers with mine pulling me to his room.

"Choose any movie you want" he said motioning to the wall covered with more than enough movies. It was sort of like the room back in forks only instead of CDs it was movies.

'So that's probably Edward's room' I thought remembering the cd covered wall.

"What do you want to watch" I asked not really wanting to choose something that only I would like.

"Doesn't matter I've seen each movie more than once and I like most of them so it won't bother me if I have to watch them again" he said looking back at the TV to turn it on.

"No, I'd rather you choose I'm pretty sure you have a better taste in movies than I do" I told him taking a sit on his leather couch.

"Alright, so you're okay with anything?" he said walking towards the shelves with the movies.

"Yeah, anything is fine."

He apparently just chose whatever he saw first because it didn't take him long to put the movie on and then sit down on the opposite side of the couch.

I did though make one mistake when I said anything was fine, I had forgotten I wasn't the type to watch scary movies and that is exactly what he had chosen, a horror movie.

This was going to be a long movie.


Sort of like this chapter sort of don't...hope you guys like it though.
