I woke up early in the morning and I saw that Edward was watching me, my arm was lying over his waist and my whole upper body was lying on his chest. I turned so I was lying next to him.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked as he brushed the hair out of my face.
"Wonderful, did you enjoy yourself?" I answered within a yawn.
"Yes, you kept saying my name and that you loved me." I could see he was beaming.
"That's because I do love you, I've only know you for days but it seems that we have know each other much longer and it also seem shorter. I'm not making any sense, am I?" I slowly got out of my bed, rubbing my eyes.
"I know what you mean." He said as he went to my closet "Let me grab you some clothes." I rolled my eyes as I smiled at him. I combed my fingers through my hair and I felt it was full of knots.
"Okay, but what did I do while sleeping? My hair is a big mess." Edward just chuckled as I grabbed some underwear. A red bra and a red thong, I saw how Edward looked at them. "Why are you looking at them like that?" I said as I grabbed the ice-blue v-neck long-sleeved shirt and the light-blue jeans.
"How can those be comfortable?" he asked as he pointed at the thong.
"Edward that's what they call a thong and they are quite comfortable but I wear them because they show off my ass better in those pants." I winked at him and he was looking at me openmouthed. I chuckled at his expression. "I think that's means yes, but I'll need a human minute!"
I locked the bathroom door behind me, not that it would stop a vampire. I chuckled at Edward's expression; he was so cute when he was embarrassed. But which girl talks about underwear with a guy from the 1800s? I showered after I had brushed the knots out o my hair, than I dresses and I blow-dried my hair. My hair fell in soft waves and I smiled at my reflection, I looked genially happy even my eyes were shining with happiness, how was I going to survive without Edward? I knew I couldn't, I would do anything to stay with him, a life without Edward was worse than death itself.
If Edward didn't want me anymore I would find a way to be with him anyway. If it was because I was human and he was vampire then I would make sure I would get changed.
I walked down the stairs, I could smell some waffles, and Edward was going to make sure I would gain weight. "That smells like waffles." I said as I walked into the kitchen, he smiled at me when he was doing some dishes. Since when did dishwashing look hot?
"Feeding time." He said as he winked at me.
"Want a taste?" I sad as I picked up a waffle, he hadn't seen it and his faced was chocked.
He turned and he started laughing when he saw the waffle. "Did you really think I meant a taste of me?" I asked while laughing. I seated myself down and ate from the waffle "You should have seen your face Edward." I said while I tried to stop laughing.
"You're a tease you know that." I took a bite and nodded. I swallowed and licked my lips as Edward watched me eat.
"I know, but you make me act like that!" I said as I pointed my fork at him.
We spend the rest of the meal in silence and I kept glancing at Edward. When I was done he grabbed my plate and washed them. "You don't have to do that you know." He walked towards me, moving at a human pace.
"But I want to do such things for you Bella." I smiled at him as he wrapped me in his arms.
"I'll get you to the hospital; Carlisle will be working with you. I don't have to work today as a therapist." I smiled at him.
"What kind of therapist? I mean you can read mind that must come in handy sometimes." I was curious about what he was doing.
"I work with people with Asperger and autism. Their minds are quite interesting." I chuckled.
"I bet you hate it that you can't read my mind." I said as we walked towards my car.
"Sometimes I do but I also like the silence around you, finally having my mind for myself without hearing someone else's thoughts. And you keep surprising me, that's something little people can do." I smiled up at him as I grabbed my keys.
We drove to the hospital, talking about books, music and numerous other things. I loved listening to Edward when he was talking about his life as a kid. I must have been wonderful, carriages and dresses. I tried to picture Edward with green eyes; it was stunning to say the least. I wonder what shade of green they would be.
Edward accompanied me to the door of the hospital, wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on my lips, a soft and short kiss. "You'll have some explaining to do. Jessica's and Lauren's thoughts are screaming at me, those thoughts are very bitchy." I chuckled and walked towards the door.
"See you tonight?" I asked loud enough for Lauren and Jessica to hear, I heard them gasp as I was standing in the doorway.
"See you tonight Bella, last night was" he was looking at me and he grinned "perfect." I turned around and faced him throwing him a blow kiss.
"Now I really have to go before your dad kills me for being late." He chuckled as he walked towards his Volvo. I walked inside and noticed that everyone was staring at me; I blushed as I got inside.
"Morning people." I said cheerful as walked towards Angela. "Hey Angie!" I said as I smiled at her.
"My God! You and Edward?" I nodded and smiled at her.
"I know! I think he wanted to make it official, you should see the faces of the 2 bitchetiers." I said as I pointed at Jessica and Lauren. Angela starts laughing and I walk towards the changing room.
"Spill Bella! What's up with you and Cullen?" Lauren asked as I grabbed my lab coat.
"We are together Lauren, he visited me last night and he stayed until the morning. But nothing happened apart from talking and kissing." Score Bella, now she's going to think something happened that night. I hadn't lied, I just told the truth.
"He spent the night with you?" her voice was full of surprise.
"We just talked and Edward slept on the couch. But I have to get going Lauren!"I brushed passed her as she stared at me. She was probably thinking I slept with Edward, how much I wished that was true. I shook my head and knocked on Carlisle's door.
"Come in!" Carlisle's tone was serious.
"Morning Carlisle or should I say bad morning?" I said as I looked at Carlisle's troubled expression.
"Bella, I'm glad to see you but that vampire keeps getting away. I never saw someone that's so good in hiding and running. We don't even know what that vampire looks like." Carlisle brushed his hand through his hair, that's were Edward got that habit from.
"Jake and his pack saw her Carlisle, Edward now knows too. She's a redhead Carlisle, and she is very good at self-preservation, that's all I know." Carlisle looks up at me.
"That really makes sense, but why is that woman here? She isn't hunting as far as I know." I shrugged.
"Maybe you can ask the wolf pack to help you catch her?" I looked at Carlisle, knowing that they didn't like each other. "I don't mean to be rude Carlisle but I think you guys have a better chance to catch her with the wolves help."
"Actually that is a great idea Bella, that vampire keeps getting away because she goes on Quileute land. When the wolves help, that won't work anymore." I could barely hear him.
"I better get to work, and euuh Carlisle. Edward kissed me in front of the hospital and Lauren is telling everyone that we slept together but Edward would just lie beside me when I slept." Carlisle just smiled at me.
"I know Bella, Edward is a bit old-fashioned. He still thinks marriage comes before the first time." I smiled at him. Edward was a 210 year old virgin? I was 27 and I never thought of it but Edward wanted to get married first?
"He's still waiting?" I asked as I looked at Carlisle "I've been waiting for the right guy for 27 years and I thought that was long."
"You're a virgin? In these times?" I chuckled.
"I've been a zombie for a long time and I didn't feel feminine enough to date. I've had real problems when they told me I couldn't get kids of my own. See you later Carlisle." I said as I fled outside the room.
When I got into the lab, the feeling of being watched returned. I was getting paranoid, there was no-one outside, just woods and animals. I was really losing my mind; I had some kind of separation anxiety when it involved Edward.
I turned on the radio that was placed in the lab and I was singing along with 'Dirty dancer by Enrique Iglesias feat Usher'. Moving a bit to the beat, hoping the feeling would disappear.
"It's a game. That she plays. She can win with her eyes closed. It's insane how she tames
She can turn you to an animal!" I was singing and dancing when Mike fucking Newton came inside.
"Someone is in an amazing mood!" he said as I lowered the volume of the radio.
"Well that's because of Edward Mikey!" I said as I brushed passed him to put the some samples in the freezer.
"So you and Cullen huh?" I smiled at him.
"Yup, I can't believe how safe I feel when I'm around him." I smiled at Mike.
"I don't know Bella; he looks at you like you are something to eat." I chuckled.
"You're just jealous that you can't have me Mikey!" I pressed my finger against his chest. His expression was chocked; "Just joking Newton, I know you like Jessica." I said that last part softly when she walked past the door.
He blushed "You got me Bella. Maybe I should ask her out." I saw how Jessica was listening to our conversation.
"Well you can ask her now Mike, she's standing right outside." I said I loud enough and saw how Jessica's eyes were shining. "She will say yes, trust me!"
With that I got out of the lab and left them by themselves, those guys have been crushing on each other for years maybe but they were too scared to ask.
When I was walking around the hospital I noticed the little boy was just sitting there.
"Hey, do you remember me? It's Bella." He looked up and smiled at me as e grabbed his keyboard and started to play 'Claire the Lune'. I smiled back "You remembered the song I like."
"Can I play something for you?" I asked and he handed me the keyboard.
"If you tell me your name then the song will have a title." I said as I smiled at him.
He hesitated when he looked at me.
"I'll play it first and then you can decide whether or not you want to say your name." I looked at the little guy; he was a good looking kid. He had a toothpaste smile and piercing blue eyes even though his hair was a dark brown.
I played a song that was gentle and loving, a song that when you listened to it, it would seem easy to play while it actually was a difficult song. I once wrote it but I never finished it, I saw how the little kid was smiling at me and he warmed my heart.
It also hurt to know that I couldn't get a child of my own; as long as I had Edward it wouldn't be that bad.
When I finished the song the little boy was beaming and clapping.
"My name is Riley Tanner" he said softly and I heard a gasp behind me.
"Well Riley, now you have your own song! I can write it down for you if you want." He looked at me and smiled.
"I'll bring it to you tomorrow okay Riley?" he nodded and I turned towards the door, a woman around the age of 26 was looking at me.
"My son never talks to anyone besides myself. I'm Bree Tanner, that's my son." She looked at him with love in her eyes and also with pain.
"How old is he?" I asked low enough so Riley wouldn't hear us.
"He's 6, everyone told me I had to get rid of him but I just couldn't. I don't know why I'm telling you this but I trust you because my son seems to like you. They told me to get rid of him because I was attacked and he was the result." I smiled at her.
"I understand why you couldn't do it. I can't have kids because this guy James Jackson attacked me; he didn't rape me because I was able to fight him of." I saw how Bree her eyes were as big as saucers now.
I looked back at Riley and then I saw the similarities with James.
"I can't even imagine what you've been through Bree; I thought he was hard on me. But Riley is a nice kid, and James is death so there's no need to worry about him." Suddenly her expression changed and she smiled.
"That's the best new I've heard in years! I hope that bastard suffered." She kept her voice down and I smiled at him.
"You're not the only one that hopes that Bree. But I have to get back to work." She smiled at me as I left. The rest of the working day dragged and I noticed I was glancing at the clock every five minutes, waiting for Edward, waiting for that feeling to be gone.
I also glanced outside, like I was expecting something was going to jump out of the forest. I was really getting paranoid.
"Bella I need your help, Riley is freaking out!" I looked as Carlisle and followed him towards Riley. Riley was screaming and kept repeating don't touch me.
"What happened?" I demanded as I looked at Mike.
"He freaked out when I touched him." I glared at him.
"Get out of this room now Mike!" I shouted and I noticed that Riley was looking at me, still rocking back and forth. Mike left and I walked towards Riley.
"Shh, Riley he won't touch you again. I know he should have asked you." I held out my hands as I crouched. Riley ran to me and threw himself in my arms. I started to hum his song as his shacking lessened.
Suddenly Edward was crouched n front of me. "He's okay now Bella. Hey Riley, you gave me quite a scare you know." Riley looked up at Edward.
"Eddie!" he said as he moved from under my arms and hugged Edward, even though I hated the nickname I was smiling.
"Bella is nice!" he said and I looked up at Edward.
"That's why she is my girlfriend Riley, I told you about the sweet girl didn't I?" he nodded and went back to his bed. Edward helped me up and I noticed the feeling of being watched was gone. He kept holding me by my waist as he walked outside.
"See you tomorrow Riley" Edward and I said at the same time, causing us to chuckle. I noticed Carlisle was smiling at us and I smiled back.
Edward went home with me and I fell asleep in his arms.
*start dream*
I'm going to make you suffer for what you did to my James.
He's death because of you Bella!
I'll get my revenge on you!
Edward will leave you and you will never see him again!
I'll make you suffer like you made my James suffer!
It was dark, it was pitch-black and I couldn't see a thing. I only saw those words in bright red letters, a bloody red. They twirled around me and kept accusing me of James his death. I even smiled, I was glad that bastard died.
Edward will leave you Bella.
He doesn't love you.
You're just another girl he can wrap around his finger.
You're just human Bella.
He will never change you because he doesn't want to be with you forever.
I knew those words were lies, Edward loved me and I was sure he wanted me forever.
I loved Edward, I loved him more than life itself and I was sure Edward felt the same.
"I love Edward and he loves me!" I shouted and suddenly everything changed, I was in a room. A dark and cold room, it smelled like Edward, mold and dirt. I was in some kind of basement.
"Edward?" I asked as I heard some movement.
"Stay away Bella! I don't want to kill you." I heard how his voice was raspy and weak.
"Edward are you okay?"I asked as I moved towards him, my weak eyes only saw a silhouette lying on the floor.
"Stay back Bella" my eyes adjusted to the dark and I saw Edward, he was skin over bones. He had a massive purple bruising under his eyes and he looked so old and fragile.
"Edward" I said while I was sobbing.
"Bella, wake up it's just a nightmare!" The healthy panicked Edward shouted.
*end of dream*
I opened my eyes and I was looking at a healthy Edward, he was worried.
"Bella, are you okay? You started sobbing and kept repeating my name. What did you dream of?" he asked as he hovered over me.
"I'm perfect now Edward, it was just a silly dream. I was in a basement with you and you were really thirsty. You were skin over bones and kept telling me to stay away. It's just a stupid dream and you didn't kill me in the dream so that must mean something about your control." I smiled at him as his expression went to serious.
"Bella you can't trust vampires, trust me." I chuckled as he leaned down to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he kissed me, my fingers brushing through his glorious hair. It felt like silk and I would never get tired of running my fingers through it. I opened my mouth for him, sighing as his tongue entered my mouth and caressed my tongue. Kissing Edward was addicting, you could never get enough. He pulled back way too soon and I pouted when he stopped kissing me.
He gave me a soft peck on the lips before laying himself next to me. I moved closer to him and laid my head on his chest. "Mmm" I moaned as I looked up at him, his chest wasn't moving, he wasn't breathing.
"Breathe Edward." I said as I grinned at him, he took a long breath and I smiled at him.
"Better." I said while suppressing a yawn.
I drifted off to sleep not much later. I woke from a dreamless sleep in Edward's arms, went to work when everyone was asking me about me and Edward. Every time that Edward wasn't around I had that stupid feeling again. I was really getting paranoid, but that's the exact same thing I thought when James was stalking me.
What if someone was really watching me? What if I wasn't getting paranoid? I shook my head as I checked on Riley, he was sleeping. I noticed that the feeling of being watched was gone. I went to the changing room to place my lab coat in my locker. I gasped when Edward was leaning against my locker.
"Hey!" I said as he helped me take of the lab coat and placed it in my locker.
"Ready to go love?" he gently pushed me against the locker.
I looked up at him and nodded, he leaned down and kissed me, Edward pulled away way too soon and he growled "What is Tanya doing here?" I looked up at Edward confused.
"Who's Tanya?" I couldn't help the jealous and anger I felt.
"She's just a friend Bella; I'm not interested in her." Then he pressed his lips against mine "there's only you my love" at those words I heard a gasp and I turned my head.
"No way Eddie! You found yourself a girl, there is a God! You must be Bella! I'm Tanya, I've tried so hard to change his mind but now I see why it didn't word between us two, he likes brunettes." I chuckled and walked towards the stunning woman, she had long, curly, strawberry blonde hair.
"Nice to meet you Tanya." I could feel Edwards's eyes in make back as I gave Tanya a handshake.
She pulled me in a hug and I heard Edward growl at Tanya.
"Overprotective much Eddie, I just thought she smelled nice gee. I'm not going to bite her!" I chuckled and walked back to Edward.
"You can never be sure around vampires, you can't trust them. Right love?" I looked him in the eyes and he smiled down at me.
"I better get going, Eleazar wanted to visit you guys." And with those words she went back outside, I saw how the guys in the hospital were drooling over her. Who would blame them, she was one stunning vampire.
Edward would talk to me and kiss me; I would sleep in his arms, wake up and go to work. Then we would go home again and the cycle would repeat itself. Days turned into weeks, being away from Edward even for an hour hurt. I was addicted to him, we kissed some more and I knew that I couldn't live without him.
I finally had to force Edward to go hunting, he would drop me of at the Cullen's home and then he would go hunting.
I walked inside and I saw three new vampires and Tanya, I smiled at her.
"Tanya you were so right, Edward is overprotective, now I get 10 vampires to watch over me." She chuckled and pulled me in a hug.
"Bella, this is Carmen, my sister Irina and Eleazar." I smiled at the unknown vampires and noticed how Eleazar was staring at me.
"Can you please stop staring, it makes me uncomfortable. I know I'm human but there's no need to stare." I said as I glared at him, I noticed how Carmen and Irina were looking at me with a chocked expression. Tanya just chuckled.
"Carlisle, do you have any idea what a strong vampire she can become?" I looked at Eleazar.
"Huh?"I didn't understand what he was saying, me a strong vampire? How could he possibly know that?
"What do you see Eleazar?" Carlisle asked as he looked at me.
"Can someone tell me what is going on please?" I asked as I looked at Carlisle.
"Eleazar can see the gifts a vampire has or what gift a human will develop when he or she is changed. What do you see for Bella Eleazar?" Carlisle asked as everyone was looking at me.
"She will become a dreamwalker!" he shouted and Carlisle gasped.
