Bella's POV
I woke up and felt something hard next to me. I soon realized my head was on Edward's stomach and he was playing with my hair. I don't remember falling asleep last night. We talked all night, I hope I didn't fall asleep on him while he was talking. Oh my god how embarrassing. I looked up and smiled.
"Good morning, love." He smiled. I chuckled in response. I felt a strange sensation when he said that. He's so beautiful. My eyes gazed down to his lips.
Yum :]
I broke my delirious thoughts of Edward naked and yawned. I dragged myself out of bed, I was still in my joggers and tank top from the night before. Crap! Today is school! I looked at the clock frantically. But my eyes went to the bed, Edward wasn't there anymore.
"Don't worry Bella, it's only six." He breathed from behind me. That's why I felt so tired. I only got two hours of sleep. Maybe even one. I turned around and smiled trying to make it seem like I wasn't going to go limp any minute. He brushed the hair out of my face and then caressed my cheek with the back of his hand.
"You're so tired…" He said, though I already knew that. It sounded like he was sorry, or anxious because I was tired.
"Bella are you really alright?" He asked, a different expression.
"I just need some sleep Edward."
"Yeah I know that, but you don't even look a little shaken, I mean you were just attacked by a vicious vampire. You should be hiding in a corner somewhere"
"I take horrible things calmer than some." I smiled weakly. "I always feel safe with you, so there is no need to be shaken, anyway."
He sighed. "I'm waiting for something to happen that will send you running out the door in terror."
"That's never going to happen silly." I said poking his nose lightly with my index finger. He smiled.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you more." I smiled.
"Sorry my love, but that is impossible." He grinned. I giggled and hugged him tightly I almost fell asleep on his shoulder. But I pulled away unwillingly and walked past him into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair that was already a mess. I got dressed, Edward left the room. As if I would care if he watched me get dressed. If anything I wanted him to. I really need to stop getting ahead of myself, we haven't even kissed yet. He came back in when I was done and told me to go eat breakfast. He was going to go home and change quickly.
The thought of being away from him made me get this feeling in my stomach, like I was about to up chuck, but I nodded and was able to stuff my face with cereal. So there's a plus after all, I didn't look like a complete pig in front of him. Charlie was already gone for work so I didn't have to lie to him about why I was so tired. Edward was back in about five minutes, I was still pigging out. I stopped and put my dish in the sink. I was so exhausted. Getting attacked by a vampire can get really tiring.
"Come on." Edward said pulling my hand. "You can sleep on the way there." He said softly. It was like a lullaby. It made me want to fall asleep right there.
He opened the door for me and then closed it. I was already almost passed out the minute my butt touched the car seat. Edward ran to the other side and when he was in the driver seat he kissed my forehead gently. My head jerked up. I scooted over to the middle seat and cuddled up to Edward. He put his arm around me and I snuggled in his chest.
He drove off unusually slow, which is around sixty miles for him, probably not to wake me. I was so used to him driving a hundred miles that this seemed slow. I need a serious therapist. Edward smelled so good. It was distracting me from sleep. I just closed my eyes and let them get some rest.
I was awoken when Edward drove over the school speeding bump, he kissed the top of my head to reassure me that everything was okay. He stopped the car, I thought he was going to make me get up and walk inside the house.
"Sleep." He whispered. I moved a little closer and rested my head on his shoulder. I passed out. He probably just sat there.
. . .
"Bella, love." He breathed. "Wake up."
I jolted my head up and looked around. "What time is it?" I asked worried.
"10:00."
"TEN?! What happened to school?" I asked.
"Are you still tired? You can go back to sleep." He said, my eyes probably looked dead. I was tired, beyond tired. And when you fall asleep it's even more hard to wake up. School was sounding less and less appealing to me.
"Do we have to go?" I asked.
"At some point. How about at lunch? You can sleep, then eat and we can go to biology." He said. "Lay down." He grinned. He moved all the way over and I laid down on the seat. I rested head on his lap and curled in a ball. I was so comfortable. Edward was playing with my hair just so I would know he was there. I love him even more today than I ever have. I never thought that was possible, but it is.
"Bella. . ." Edward whispered. "Wake up."
I groaned.
"It's lunch." He said. I jerked up. I was starving.
"Lunch?" I asked with a smile. He chuckled.
"Yes, lunch for the human." He teased. I rolled my eyes and fixed my hair and makeup in the review mirror.
"Okay let's go." I said grabbing my backpack. We both walked out and there was a couple people walking around and some leaving for lunch. Edward grabbed my hand and kissed my cheek as we walked in the school. We dodged the teachers and headed for the lunch room. I stood in line and got a hamburger with French fries. Yum, nice and fattening.
Edward was behind me, all of a sudden he sighed.
"What?" I asked.
"Look at them, just look at them" Edward groaned not looking over. I glanced at the table filled with the four beautiful, pale-faced people grinning and whispering to each other. Probably trying to figure every possible way to make us feel more uncomfortable. Yes, and even Rose was smirking, she probably liked the idea of making us angry and embarrassed.
"This is going to be fun." I said sarcastically.
"Heaps of fun, I'm sure. Can't we sit somewhere else?"
"We'll have to do it sometime or another. Might as well get it over with. Let's go." I said. Edward paid for my lunch, I tried to make him let me pay but he insisted.
"Were a couple now, it's my job to do that stuff." He smiled.
"Yeah, pay for my lunch and protect me from bloodthirsty vampires, but that's all I promise." I smirked. He laughed and took my hand. He inhaled deeply, and beautifully I might add. We walked over to the table and they were ALL starring at us. Edward pulled out my chair and I sat down. Alice's mouth was shaped like an "O" like she was going to say AWWWWW, and then she gazed over at Jasper. I rolled my eyes at her, warning her not to say a word.
Edward sat next to me and put his tray down. Of course, I was the only one who took a bite from my hamburger, probably looking like a complete hog to every other student in this school. Rose, Emmett, Jasper and Alice were all still staring at us, but somehow, it felt like they were all just staring at me.
"So uh," Emmett said breaking the silence.
Big surprise there.
"You too. . ."
"Yes." Edward said looking up. I was surprised his voice was so nice. "Bella and I are a couple and I would appreciate it if you could refrain from talking about it." Never mind. The words turned angry and already frustrated. He knew the worst was only to come.
"Oh come on!" Emmett argued. "I've been saving up for this since she was sixteen!"
"No, no Emmett, we should be understanding." Alice said still smiling. I looked down at my food embarrassed.
"Right, right. They need their privacy too. . . . did you guys kiss yet?" Rose asked smiling. I choked on my French fry.
"ROSE!" I said.
"What? It was a simple question."
I looked over at Edward, he was beyond nervous. I heard a low hiss escaping his lips, Rose ignored him. He didn't know what to say, I sort of felt the same way. "That is none of your business, thank you very much."
"I'll take that as a no." Alice said laughing.
"OH COME ON EDWARD." Emmett laughed. "You still haven't knocked boots?"
Edward growled vigorously and I choked again.
"Emmett. . . I swear. . . to God." I warned.
"So when did this all happen?" Jasper asked, changing the subject. Edward was still trying not to pounce on the perv boy Emmett. I was debating whether or not to just let him, but then I thought of how many tables would be destroyed. . . and all the witnesses if Edward killed Emmett. Then he would get charged for first-degree murder, killing someone over a sex question, and then go to jail. I could defiantly not handle being away from him for such a long period of time. I soon gave up on it and squeezed Edward's hand, trying to calm him down.
Edward went to answer Jasper but I stopped him. I knew he wouldn't answer and just end up flinging across the table which I was trying my best, with our little squeezing-each-other's-hand talking, not to make him do. He was squeezing my hand again with irritation. "It happened when Vincent ran off. That's all you need to know." I said. I starred angrily at Jasper. He sent waves of calmness over me, too much calmness. I felt like I was on funny gas. Worse than that, I felt completely loopy. My eyes were droopy and I suddenly felt like I was floating and like I was so happy.
Jasper Hale. . . is most defiantly, most positively going to die.
"And Edward was just a doll! Let. . . me. . . tell. . . you!" I giggled loudly. "It was so cute the way he said it. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!."
I sounded like I was high off of something. Edward looked at me like I was insane. He immediately looked at Jasper. I was still laughing in the background like someone who escaped an insane hospital.
"Can you please not intoxicate my girlfriend?" He asked with a growl. I was now bending over with my face on the table, laughing.
"Sorry, Sorry. I didn't know you wanted to do that." Jasper grinned. I soon went back to normal, but I had a headache and I was getting moody already. I pulled my head off the table, the whole room was spinning.
"Jasper, I'm forewarning you. When we get out of this school…" Edward said rubbing my back lightly.
"Calm down Edward, let us have a little fun. We've been waiting you to get a girlfriend for over eighty years now."
"YEAH." Emmett said shooting him a dirty look.
Edward sighed and squeezed my hand under the table again. I grinned, now alright and back to normal. No headaches and dizziness. I was willing to take a big step, don't ask me why. But I bet I could take his mind off this torture. It took me about ten minutes to build up the courage to do what was on my mind. I don't know how he will react, it was worrying me. I remember when we first met, I had to stay away from him for a while, when I was old enough to understand, Edward told me how my blood sang to him, and how he was tempted to taste it. My mind went into a whirlwind of memories, all the while. . . Emmett and Edward were throwing French fries at each other.
"Emmett just stop talking." Edward growled.
"NO!" He said narrowing his eyes at Edward. Then he stuck his tongue out. Try seeing a muscular man sticking his tongue out at his younger brother, only the Cullen family, let me tell you. Edward sighed deeply. He was so frustrated.
"I'm surrounded by idiots." He mumbled putting his hand on his forehead.
Then about ten fries were flung at him at once. Another sigh.
My mind went back to what I was planning before, trying to make him feel better. I began to get really nervous. But before I talked myself out of it I already let go of his hand and flattened it. He looked at me confused. I realized my hands were trebling. You would think I wouldn't be nervous. But I put his cold hand on my thigh and slid upward. He grinned at me.
"Bella." He smiled trying not to make his excitement detectable.
I laughed and kept moving up. His golden, butterscotch eyes were immediately intense when I slid his hand up my shirt a little so he could feel my warm skin. The others were soon not paying attention, talking about their things. Edward tried to hide the pleasure in his eyes. His hand moved down again, I bit my lip trying to not to moan. How emberrassing that would have been. Ugh.
He went to my ear, his cold breath made him shiver. "Can we save that for later?" He whispered, his tone was so low and irresitable. It was so quiet I thought no one could hear, but Alice was staring at me, a little shocked and then completely in awe. Edward noticed and completely looked away. Embarrassed by his hormones. I was still dizzy from the words he whispered in my ear. Did he really mean it? I mean we haven't even kissed yet. I wonder what it feels like. My mind went in a whirlwind of fantasies and I was soon blushing.
Jasper busted out laughing. "HO HOOOO. Well, well, well." He smirked evilly.
My face flushed and I was as red as a tomato.
"I thought you guys said you weren't moving that fast!" Jasper smiled. Edward looked confused, probably trying to cover up what he just said to me, but really not knowing the feelings I just felt.
"Shut. . . up Jasper I swear on everything that is holy, you'll suddenly be in Korea and you will not know why." I warned in a whisper. I meant every word I had just said. I don't know how, but it was on my list of things to do in my life.
Kidnap Jasper and bring him to Korea.
Edward was still acting dumbfounded and I kept shooting Jasper evil glares and thankfully he didn't tell everyone what I was just feeling.
The bell soon rang and Edward and I headed over to biology.
"That was horrible." I whispered as we walked down the hall.
"Horrible is a bit of an understatement." He said.
"Well, it's over with. If they ever bring it up again I fully give you permission to kill them." I said.
"Yes, ma'am." He grinned slyly. I almost fainted.
We sat in class and Mr. Molina brought in a metal cart on wheels with a big TV on it. Movie day. . .
Every time we had a movie day, I was always so tempted to touch Edward, and now I could do it.
Mr. Molina played the movie and turned the lights off. I was imminently starring at Edward. He exchanged my gaze. Amazing. His eyes burn with intensity even in the dark.
"What?" He asked after a long moment of silence.
I stared for a minute and smiled. "I love you so much."
He grinned. "I love you more."
"Sorry my love, but that is impossible." I said in a deep voice mimicking him from this morning. He laughed. Thankfully we were sitting in the back, so Mr. Molina wouldn't bother us.
I reached out and put my warm hand on his cheek. He put his cold hand on mine and held it there.
"You don't know, how unbelievable that feels Bella." He whispered. My heart automatically started thumping faster. Any, and every time he touched me, I felt his electric currents run threw me. Everything pumps a little faster.
He slid my hand down to his neck, I gulped. He groaned a little from the heat of my skin. It made the hair on my arm stand up. He opened his eyes again and they were different, like he wanted to do something. . . but didn't.
Mr. Molina glared at me, and I resentfully pulled my hand away from his neck. But I soon grabbed his hand under the table. He attempted to watch the movie while his thumb caressed my hand, intertwined with mine. Just then I realized something.
I've dreamt, no I've lived for this moment. To hold his hand, not one as friends, but as lovers. That when he held my hand it meant something. It meant he loved me, it meant he just wanted me and it meant that I was in his life for a reason. I completely tried to seduce him in lunch, I kind of wish I could take that back, then I remember his cold breathe on my ear, and I'm glad I did it. But I completely broke the take it slow policy. But it's so hard when you actually have him, and his lips right near you. You're so tempted. I don't know how I resist before, because it's nearly impossible for me.
Suddenly the lights flickered on, I jumped, startled. I heard a low chuckle next to me. I glared at the Greek god sitting next to me. The bell finally rang, which I really didn't want it to, because that meant I was going to have to be away from Edward. He said he was going to try and get all of our classes together. I think he just wants to keep an eye on me.
Gym. . . sigh.
I played soccer, well not really. I let Jessica do all the work. I tried to ignore Mike's evil glares at me. Ever since I broke up with him for my angelic new boyfriend, well he was much much more to me than that, but ever since Edward and I became a couple the glares just became more and more pronounce.
The day was dragging on too long.
Gym was over and I got my regular clothes on, in a hurry to see Edward again. Which made me, being my accident-prone self, trip and fall. It didn't matter, I was minutes away from Edward. I ran out of the building and there he was, his arms folded and leaning on the hood of his Volvo. It was the single most hottest thing I've ever seen, in my entire life of existence.
I ran over, he was smiling widely. I jumped on him and he caught me while I wrapped my legs around his waist. His cold arms wrapped around my back and he clung to me closely. I immediately blushed at my excitement. If my mind was working correctly I wouldn't have done such a childish movement. I let go and he flashed that beautiful crooked smile at me, it made me almost faint. He chuckled lowly and kissed my shoulder lightly, sending my thoughts in a whole different direction.
"Can't you save that for later?" I heard a voice, it was mimicking Edward from lunch. I looked over to see Alice and Jasper standing next to us. I groaned. Jasper looked annoyed as well. My feelings are probably driving him nuts.
"You annoying little pixie. Do you ever go away?" Edward asked glaring at her.
"No." She glared. "This is important anyway. About Vincent. Get in the car." Alice said, then her and Jasper climbed in the back seat.
So much for alone time. . .
