Hidden Kisses At Midnight
Chapter 10
The morning was a rainy one and Edward walked into the school and towards his locker hoping to see Elise on the way, but she was no where to be found, but he had seen her car in the parking lot. Opening his locker a piece of paper fell out and he picked it up off the ground. He smirked as he read the paper. Closing his locker he placed the paper in his pocket and walked down the hall weaving through students and he reached the schools library that was down a dark corner and apparently no one ever used the library and with that there was never a librarian on duty. He walked between the shelves until he heard a whisper and he made his way towards the whisper where he found Elise sitting at a table.
"The library, eh?" he asked as he bent down to kiss Elise who kissed him back. Taking the seat next to her he smiled at his girlfriend.
"So when I left your place last night I came home and my sister was waiting for me. My parents are gone off for an early preparation for the council meeting. They sent her to look after me this time, but this morning I begged them to let me stay at Tara's, though my sister is still in town." Elise explained.
Edward looked at her with concern. He could tell she was upset over everything and he knew that this wasn't a position she wanted to be in. They had been sneaking around for over a month and each time it was getting harder on both of them. During school they were not allowed to converse with one another due to there were other wizards and witches at the school who Elise had told him would fib on her at any moment. During the day there were others in town watching out for her. Their only escape was their midnight meetings at the docks.
"It's all going to be alright." Edward said as he pulled her into his lap. "We have been getting prepared for the meeting also. Hopefully Carlisle can convince them we are here for good and relations will be lightened." Edward ran fingers through her soft hair and placed a kiss on the nape of her neck.
"Hopefully." Elise said breathlessly against his chest. Suddenly the bell rang. Elise groaned at the sound and turned to Edward. Edward wrapped his arms around her and planted a soft kiss on her lips before letting her go to stand. "See you later." She said before slipping away.
Waiting a while Edward stood in the library. He finally stepped out of the library when he heard the second bell. Most of the students had already gone into their classrooms and he made his way to his locker and then to his first class. After his first class and going to English where he saw Elise he smiled even though he knew that she couldn't acknowledge him in public. Sitting there starring at her he heard Alice think.
She is worried about the meeting?
Edward slightly nodded at Alice's thought and glanced at his sister sitting next to him before turning back towards the front where the teacher lectured.
My visions keep changing about her. She keeps deciding to go and then changing her mind. Have you talked about her going?
Edward then nodded again.
Is she?
Edward shrugged. He wasn't actually sure about if she was going to go or not. Some days she would say that she was going to go anyways, but then she talked about how afraid she was to go and how upset her parents would be if she showed up. He knew it was wracking her mind to decide if she was going to go or not. He knew for sure he was going to ask her when they met at the docks that night…hopefully since he wasn't that sure about their meeting since she was staying with Tara.
When it was time for lunch he sat at the usual table and glanced across the room to see Elise looking unhappy as she did everyday at lunch sitting with the students he now knew were other Witches and Wizards that lived in Middleville. He didn't pay any attention when Tara and Alice took their seats.
"So tonight at my place. My parents are leaving for a few days to visit my brother and his wife in California. Elise is already staying the night so you are all welcome." Tara said happily.
"Sounds like a plan." Alice said happily. "You up for it Edward?" she asked and Edward nodded. He was finally happy to know that he was going to have some time with Elise.
It was torture waiting for that evening. He let Alice drive her Porsche to Tara's house since she was excited to drive it. Pulling up to the house he saw Elise's car in front next to Tara's. They decided it would be best if they parked around the corner just in case the neighbors got a little suspicious. Alice parked the car and they walked around the corner to Tara's house. The two of them walked to the door and knocked. It was opened by Tara and he quickly spotted Elise on the couch in the living room.
"Hey come in!" Tara said happily as she moved to let them in the house. "There is pizza in the kitchen."
"We had dinner before we came." Alice quickly said to Tara.
Edward saw Elise give them a wave. Alice and Tara were already in the kitchen talking when he walked over to the couch and sat with her. He let Elise lean into his arms while looking at the TV screen. "What movie is this?"
"A Walk to Remember, it's one of my favorites." Elise said happily looking up at him. Edward bent down and kissed her softly. Elise quickly stood and took him by the hand. He looked at her for a moment with confusion, but let her pull him down a hallway. He allowed himself to be pulled into a dark room, but she quickly turned on the lights and shut the door behind them.
"It's not quite midnight." Edward joked before kissing Elise passionately. Glancing over he spotted where the bed was and quickly pulled her in that direction, but not letting his lips leave hers. He picked her up into her arms and laid her down on the bed where Elise looked up at him for a moment and smiled.
Kissing her again he could feel her struggling to take off his jacket so he quickly did it himself and let her unbutton his shirt the same way she had done in his room. He loved the feeling of her warm hands against his cold skin. Moving her to the side he gently yanked her shirt off to where she was only in her bra from her waist and above. He let her fiddle with the buckle of his belt when all of a sudden the door burst open to the room and Alice was standing there looking a little embarrassed to what she had walked in on.
"We've got to disappear. Elise's sister is here." She whispered quickly. Edward glanced down at Elise whose face was fear stricken. He quickly grabbed his jacket and shirt and made his way out the window with Alice. He and Alice slipped to the bush in Tara's backyard and made it around the corner to where the car was waiting. Getting in the car Alice swiftly pulled away and out of the neighborhood.
