Ch.9:Good Idea
"I'm, um, we're, um. I don't know how to say this," he said.
"Just say it, E. By the way, you look simply handsome." It was the truth. Except he was more than handsome; he was exceptionally beautiful. I don't care if he was a pixie- wait, Alice is more of that. I could feel the sunshine radiate across his skin, as well see it.
"We're vampires. I understand if you run away, because of me being a monster. But before you do, I wanted to say I love you al-"
I wouldn't run. I would die before I did that. But the only reason I kissed him was because of one word. Love. He felt the same way I did.
The best part of it all was that he kissed me back. And it was great. My warm lips molded to his icy cold ones. Our lips moved in sync, like it was meant to be.
I started it, so I had to end it. After I broke it off, it took us a moment to catch our breath, but I don't think he needed it. It's time I told him. "I love you, too. And you're not a monster." I just can't believe he would think that about himself.
This time he kissed me. And I think he whispered 'thank you' against my lips. I must have imagined it. Probably not because I'm at boarder line make out with a vampire. He ended this time, and I read his whisper; it was something like 'venom'.
"Okay, anything you want to know?" he asked.
"Yes, um, how old are you?"
"I was born in 1901 and its 2012, so about 111 years old."
"What is this place?"
"My meadow. It can be ours, if you want."
"Of course, E. I want it to be ours forever."
"Hey, I want to teach you something. Give me your hand," I told him.
He gave it over and I traced his hand. I pulled down his middle and ring fingers to his palm. I looked at him and cleared my throat. I used my voice and said, "I love you."
I have no idea what it sounds like, but I've been told I sleep talk. I guess its okay, since his face lit up. He pecked my lips and stood up and held out his hand that I traced. I grabbed it and his iPad. He took it and typed, "I want to show you how I go through the forest." He grabbed my arm and hoisted me on his back and ran. Fast. I closed my eyes and laughed because I just loved this moment. E looked back with a huge smile on his face and stopped by the Jeep.
He opened the door for me and flashed over to the other side. He kissed my cheek and said, "Do you want to meet my family later at our river? It would be fun and maybe you can teach them something." I nodded yes and he started the car. He stopped at my house and I gave him a tour. We ended at my room.
He stepped in and I bashfully followed. He looked around and stopped at my massive book collection. He pointed to it and I blushed and signed, "I had a lot of free time, since no one wanted to get to know me. But now, that's changed." I kicked him out, so we could leave. When I returned downstairs, he was standing by the door and smiled. I smiled back and kissed his cheek.
On the way to his house, I noticed that it looked like we were going deeper and deeper into the woods. Then he turned into a semi-secluded driveway. He passed by a grand Victorian house with three floors to the garage near by. He parked in it and I saw a Porsche, a M3, a Mercedes, his Volvo (which is being repaired) and an Aston Martin Vanquish. He passed them all to park and got out to open my door, but I was still in shock from the cars. He laughed and helped me out of the Jeep.
I grabbed his bicep and we walked down a trail that led down to the river. The clouds covered the sun, so he didn't sparkle, but it was still warm out. I saw his siblings, Dr. Cullen, and one other lady. Alice flashed over to me and gave me a hug. Emmett came up and grabbed me and I started flailing. The group laughed and E signaled to Emmett to stop.
I stumbled when I got down and waved once E helped me settle. After I got hugs from everyone except Jasper, I was introduced to Esme, E's adoptive mother. I can see what he means by mother, because she was so sweet. We sat by the lake and everybody was waiting for something. I looked over to Edward and signed what. Everyone stared intently at his hands as he said that they wanted to see us 'talk'. My face must have said oh, because he laughed.
I asked him of they wanted to learn something. He asked them using his voice and they nodded and waited. I thought of what to teach them, so I decided to do the ABC's. It looked like a good idea.
This was going to be fun... I think.
