Chapter 8.

interruptions and visiting time

Bella

I wanted to bang jane and Alec's fucking heads together.

Demetri kissed me and it was like nothing I had ever experienced before.

And I have kissed a fair few guys in my time!

"you took a complete stranger in to the toilet for sex, jane. To me, that makes you a tramp" alec hissed at her.

"hey" I said as I got to them "jane is not a tramp. She's just having a little fun. You should try it"

I took Jane's hand and pulled her to the bar.

"I should make him pay for calling me that" jane fumed.

"yeah you should, just not here" I grinned.

"so what was with the kiss?" she asked after I took a few shots of some green shit.

"tri was proving how straight he is" I smirked.

"well straight he looked. And hard and thick and kinda huge" she giggled.

"jane!" I laughed "you little perv"

"what? I cant help it if I have an eye for these kind of things"

I snorted and took another shot. "you have an eye for erections?"

She burst out laughing "oh I like you Bella. We are going to have so much fun when your turned"

"I know. Is it strange that I'm kinda looking forward to it?" I asked.

"a little. But hey I'm the girl who can make people hurt just by looking at them. Strange is my middle name"

I raised my doubles glass to her "to strangeness"

"how many have you just had?" alec said as the guys joined us.

"I lost count" I shrugged.

"what happened to whiskey?" Felix asked as he eyed the green liquid in the shot glass in front of me.

"Jared said I'd like it and its free, so fuck it" I took another shot.

"who's jared?" Demetri asked. I'm sure his sexy jaw just clenched.

"the bar tender" I smiled. Just then he put another shot in front of me.

"god Bella, when you said you could drink I didn't believe you. Most men would be passed out by now" jared laughed.

"just keep em coming honey" I smiled.

He winked and left to serve someone else.

I noticed alec laughing and nudging Demetri.

"god I'm hungry. Is there any greasy burger places around here?" I asked.

The vampires all shrugged.

"there's one about four blocks away" jared said as he walked back to us "I get off in half an hour if you wanna wait, we can go together"

Demetri threw a couple of notes at the guy "that's for Bella's drinks"

I looked at him questioningly.

He just shrugged and took my hand, pulling me through the crowd.

Once outside he didn't let go of me but pulled me closer.

Jane and alec were once again bickering and felix was moaning about not finding his mate.

I laughed at how ordinary they all were. Who'd have thought that vampires would bicker and moan just like humans?

"what's funny?" Demetri whispered.

"all of you. Your all so……. Normal" I giggled.

"what did you expect?"

I shrugged "I'm not sure"

We walked for a few minutes. I moved closer to Demetri and he put his arm around me.

It felt right. Like I was made to fit here.

Just as we reached the café my phone began to ring.

"Bella, your tits are singing" alec laughed.

I rolled my eyes and got it out.

"hello?"

"hello Bee"

"Edward, hey. What's up?"

"I just wanted to tell you that we are in Italy and will be able to see you tomorrow"

Demetri's arm tightened around me.

Jane asked me what I wanted from the diner.

"chilli cheese fries, please jane" I said.

"what?" Edward sounded confused.

"I was just telling jane what I wanted to eat" I laughed. "god its hot"

To say it was night time, I was hot as hell.

Demetri pulled me closer and wrapped both arms around me.

His cool body was a god send.

"ohhh that's better" I sighed.

I looked up at Demetri's face. He was gorgeous. And totally looking at my lips.

Our kiss popped back in to my head.

"rose says is there anything you want us to bring you tomorrow?" Edward asked. I had forgotten about him.

"no, its ok. Thanks anyway though" Demetri dipped his head so his face was against my neck as a couple of girls ran passed us squealing.

"Bee, where are you?"

"uhhhhh" my mind had gone blank. "going back to the castle"

"why? Where did you go?" he asked.

I felt Demetri's lips press lightly to my skin.

"ohhh, fuck……….. Uhh, I went to a club with jane, alec, felix and DEMETRI!" I said the last one as a squeal as he ran his cool tongue around the shell of my ear.

"I'm glad you've made friends" Edward said.

"yeah me too" I sighed.

"so, where are you staying? With jane?"

"no, I'm in Demetri's loft with him"

I heard Edward growl "what!?"

"yeah, er I gotta go. My fries are here. I'll see you tomorrow"

"ok, goodnight"

I put my phone back in my bra and rested my head on Demetri's shoulder.

He smelt heavenly. I wanted to stay here all night just breathing him in.

He was back to placing soft, barely there kisses on my neck. At this rate my panty's were going to be soaked.

"sorry to spoil your little necking session, but these greasy things smell vile. Get them away from me. Please" jane said sounding like she wanted to gag.

I laughed and took them from her.

"want one?" I laughed and popped one in my mouth.

She pulled a face and skipped in front.

"so. Edwards in town" Demetri said after I had finished my fries and washed them down with coke.

"yep" I said and placed a cigarette in-between his lips.

I placed on in my own mouth and lit them both.

"he likes you, you know. Like really likes you" he said as the castle came in to view.

He still had his arm around me.

"you never know. He might turn out to be my mate" I smirked.

His face darkened.

"you should ask Marcus" he said as we walked onside and towards the elevator.

The others were already waiting for us inside.

"marcus?"

"yeah, his gift lets him see relationships and how strong they are"

I nodded.

The doors opened. "Aro wishes to see you all" Gianna said from behind her desk.

We all headed to the throne room.

"enter" he called before we had got to the door.

I looked up at Demetri to see if he was going to remove his arm from my shoulder but he just winked and gave me a slight squeeze.

"I'm glad to see you all getting on so well" aro smiled as we walked in.

"it will make everything easier when Bella is changed" marcus added. "have you thought about as to when you would like the change to take place, Bella?"

I nodded "I was thinking that I would like it to happen sooner rather than later"

"excellent. And who would you like to change you?" Aro asked.

I looked up at Demetri then back at aro "I didn't know I got to pick. I'll have to think about it"

Marcus smiled at me and Demetri and nodded.

The doors burst open.

"THAT'S IT. I'M GOING TO BREAK HER FACE!" Heidi screamed.

She walked towards me and Demetri moved me behind him.

"Heidi. Go away" he growled.

"no. I have had it with her. She's been here five fucking minutes and everyone loves her. Well she's not having you. Your mine!" she hissed.

Aro was laughing delightedly and clapping his hands together.

"such spirit the young have"

I looked at him like he had two heads. He didn't look a day over twenty three.

"I am not yours, heidi. I never have been and the sooner you give up dreaming the sooner you will find your mate and leave me the hell alone" Demetri told her.

Her red eyes were on me.

"you want him don't you" she hissed and made to grab me. "you little slut"

This bitch had it coming. I tried to get through Demetri and alec to get to her but Felix grabbed me around the waist.

"let me go"

"Bella. She could kill you" Demetri said as felix put me back where I was.

If only the guys wouldn't move so I could get to her and mess up her pretty face.

Something in my mind told me to go. So I did.

I dived again and this time no hands were stopping me. I collided with heidi and we both fell to the floor.

I was on top of her. My right fist smashed into her nose.

She screamed like a banshee "my face, my face"

My left fist went to her eye. This was fun.

I didn't see her arm come out of nowhere and smack my jaw.

I heard the cries of my new friends and I heard heidi scream louder than ever but I didn't feel any pain. I never feel pain when I get hit. that's why I am undefeated!

"STOP!" aro said loudly. I gave heidi one last hit and stood up.

I turned to find everyone's eyes wide and on me.

"what?" I asked "she wanted to hit me first"

"Bella. We cant move" Demetri said.

"did you do this?" asked alec.

Aro walked calmly towards me. His eyes were twinkling.

"I uh, I don't know" I said.

"it feels as though my legs are too heavy to move them" felix said.

"my mind still worked though. didn't it bitch" jane hissed at heidi.

"Bella, dear. What did you think just before you dived at heidi?" Marcus asked.

"um. I hoped the guys wouldn't move so I could mess up her pretty face" I told him.

He chuckled "well you certainly did that. Now try and make them move again"

He thought it was me who was making them heavy?

I thought about them moving again and heard them all sigh.

"marvellous" aro laughed.

"why didn't heidi hurt Bella?" Demetri asked as he came to stand beside me.

"that I don't know" marcus said.

"Eleazar will be here shortly. Then we will know. I suggest you get some sleep" aro smiled and caressed my cheek.

"what did I miss?" Caius said as he slipped in to the room.

Heidi was still on the floor. Her face was all cracked and messy.

"that bitch attacked me!" heidi pointed at me.

Caius smiled at me "I'm liking you more and more, miss Bella"

I don't care, he's still creepy.

I smiled back.

"lets go back to the loft" Demetri said and led me out.

We didn't speak as we made our way up.

Once inside the loft I felt tired.

"caius creeps me out" I yawned.

Demetri laughed "your lucky he likes you. Usually he's a dick"

"yeah but I don't want him to like me, like me"

Demetri walked me to my door.

"goodnight Bella" he said and kissed my hand.

"goodnight" I smiled and slipped inside.

I didn't have the energy to get a shower so instead I just got changed went to the toilet and went to bed.

You'd think that I'd be nervous about going to sleep in a castle full of blood drinking vampires but I wasn't. it was strange but already felt like part of them.

***

When I woke up I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.

The bed was the softest bed in the history of beds.

I sat up and stretched. The first thing I though of after the wonder of the squishy bed was Demetri.

I smiled and stood up. I picked out some cream yoga pants and a tight brown t-shirt matched with brown pumps and carried them through to the living room.

Demetri was laid on the couch watching TV.

"hey" he smiled.

"morning"

"afternoon you mean" he chuckled.

"what time is it?"

He sat up "almost five"

"pm!" I was amazed.

"you have some visitors waiting for you down stairs" he said with a slight scowl.

"why didn't you let them up?" I laughed.

"because I don't like Edward Cullen and I wanted to make him sweat a bit"

I smacked his shoulder as I walked past "and you said I was bad"

"does that mean I get punished too?" he smirked.

I stopped and turned to face him "there' a lot of things I'd like to do to you but punishing is not one of them" I winked and went in to the bathroom.

There was a bath as big as a swimming pool. It looked as deep as one too.

I needed a shower though so I set the taps running and got undressed as I brushed my teeth.

The bathroom in my room only had a toilet in it but this was one of my favourite rooms now.

I opened the door a little to tell Demetri to let the cullens up and was shocked to find him in front of it.

"what are you doing?" I cocked my head.

He held out my shampoo "you dropped this" his eyes raked down my naked body through the crack in the door.

I cleared my throat "done checking me out so I can get back to my shower?"

He smiled "almost done"

I opened the door wider and stepped closer to him.

Without another word he kissed me.

God I wanted him. I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anyone.

His hands ran down my heated flesh as his tongue danced in my mouth.

"I want you" he growled as he kissed down my jaw and back up.

"have me then" I told him.

His eyes turned black as I said that and he pulled me closer to kiss me again.

I pulled his t-shirt up and over his head. He was like a Adonis god. Perfect.

His kiss was unfuckingbelievable!

I reached down to open his jeans………

Ding!

"dude, is there any reason you wont let the cullen………….. Holy fuck!"

I squealed and ran back in to the bathroom.

Fucking alec!

I huffed and cursed my way through my shower and dressed quickly.

Alec and Demetri were playing on a game when I came out.

I glared at alec.

"sup, hot stuff" he smirked.

Demetri kicked him in the balls for me.

I winked at the pair and walked over to the lift.

"hey, where you going?" Demetri asked and walked over to me.

"the cullens. You left them down stairs remember" I smiled.

He nodded and followed me in to the lift.

I smiled at him and took his cigarettes out of his pocket.

The doors opened at a hallway I had never seen.

Demetri stepped out "coffee and breakfast?"

"a girl could get used to this" I laughed "thank you Demetri"

He winked and walked down the hall.

I leaned back against the wall of the elevator and closed my eyes.

Demetri was making me breakfast.

I had never had a man make me breakfast. It felt nice.

The doors opened and Edward was in front of me.

He hugged me tightly "I'm so sorry, Bee. Its all my fault you're here"

"well in that case I should be thanking you. I love it here" I laughed.

He pulled away looking shocked "you do?"

"yes. I have made some great friends. I have the best room ever. And I might have a kick ass power"

"but what about having to be turned?" he asked.

"I'm ok with that. Kinda looking forward to it actually. I just have to pick who I want to turn me………. Hey. Do you have a power?"

He smiled "I can read minds"

"fuck me! that's cool. What am I thinking right now?" I asked.

A laugh came from behind Edward "he cant read you. You're the only one he cant read. Now come and give your bitch a hug"

I hugged Rosalie "its good to see you. Both of you"

"hey!" Emmett said and elbowed Edward out of the way "don't forget me"

"you too Emmett" I laughed and hugged the giant.

"so, I hear your sharing a place with Demetri. He's the worlds best tracker. What's he like?" rose asked as we walked in to the elevator.

"world's best! Really? Wow. He's nice, I like him" I smiled.

"your one brave bitch living here. Some of the vamp here are seriously freaky" Emmett said.

"the only freaky one here is caius" I told him "that man gives me the chills"

"what about the witch twins?" Edward asked.

"who, jane and alec? There great. Like to ruin the moment but I like them both a lot" I told him.

The doors opened and we stepped in to the loft.

"wow. I see why you like it here. I always thought they lived in dungeons or something" rose laughed.

Emmett was on the Xbox before I could blink.

Alec came out of Demetri's bedroom.

"what are you doing in there?" I asked him suspiciously.

"looking to see if he keeps a diary" he grinned.

I shook my head "and does he?"

"nope. Hey veggies" he grinned at the cullens.

We all sat around the living room.

"when will you be changed?" Edward asked as he sat beside me.

"I get to pick the date myself so I'm thinking in a week or so" I shrugged.

"and have you learned what power you have?"

"not yet. Someone called Eleazar is going to see me and tell me what I have"

Edward smiled crookedly. It was beautiful.

"Eleazar is a good friend. If anyone can tell you its him"

Alec, Emmett and rose were all playing on the game, leaving me to chat to Edward.

"I wish I could be the one to change you" he said sadly.

"Edward. You and I are going to be living an different sides of the world" I told him softly.

"not if I join the volturi" he said and ran his hand down my cheek.

Uh oh! Edward wants to join to be closer to me.

"you cant do that. For one you live on animals and we drink human blood"

"we?" he smiled again. What was with that smile. It made me feel dizzy.

"I'm one of them now"

He leaned closer to me "you will be a stunning vampire"

I didn't like how close he was getting. I pressed myself back, away from him.

Ding!

Thank god.

Demetri and jane walked out.

Both were glaring at Edward. "I was already making you breakfast so teetree made you coffee" jane smiled.

I got up and kissed her cheek "your and angel. Thank you"

"I was going for real breakfast but jane said since its your last few weeks to eat, you should eat junk food. So she made you this" Demetri said and pointed to a breakfast burrito.

"and what's with the ice cream?" I laughed.

He grinned "I just took that to piss Gianna off"

"well thank you" I kissed his cheek.

Demetri, jane and I all went and sat at the small table.

"so I was thinking. After last night, I think we ought to stay in tonight. Save alec and Demetri from becoming the first vampires to have heart attacks" jane laughed.

"true" I giggled "no more toilet trips for you"

Alec threw me a dirty look.

"and when Demetri threw that man against the wall, it looked like his knuckles were going to burst through the skin" jane smirked.

"wow. Seams like I missed quite a night" rose laughed.

I looked at Demetri and smiled "you sure did"

"how come your all guarding your thoughts?" Edward asked.

"because its rude to intrude in peoples minds" Demetri said with a smirk.

"so anyway. How about a movie night" jane asked.

"yeah. That sounds great. Where's fee fee?" I asked.

"he's just with marcus" jane said.

"oh that reminds me. I want to go see marcus later" I said.

"yeah, I told him you wanted a chat" Demetri said and smiled.

"Bella. Would you take a walk with me?" Edward asked.

"uh, sure. Why not" I got up.

Demetri narrowed his eyes at Edward's back.

I picked up my cigarettes "I wont be long. Thanks for breakfast, you two"

I lit my cigarette and followed Edward through a door.

A long winding staircase was leading both up and down wards.

Edward walked up.

Soon we came to another door. Through this door was the roof. The sun was just setting. It looked beautiful.

Edwards skin was sparkling slightly.

He moved towards me quickly. "god, I've missed you" he said and brushed his lips against mine.

It felt wrong. These were not the lips my body craved.

What was wrong with me? Sure I wasn't one hundred percent about Edward but to not want him to kiss me? That was so not like me.

Then it hit me. I stepped back.

Ohhh fuck! I wanted to smack myself.

I was falling in love!
