Chapter 9 – Innocent mistake
Blushing hard, I roll over to face his dense body. He seems to be panting, as if it was some sort of adrenaline shot that had coursed through his body. I seem a little out of breath myself, as my heart flutters and my head is in a daze. I just simply smile to myself, shaking my head in wonder.
"That was exhilarating! My hearts beating a mile a minute" He says as he rolls his body to face mine. I feel a strange sensation to laugh as I pierce my lips from smiling a rather goofy grin, why did he make me feel this way? We'd only reconnected within the last 12 hours and now it seemed we were in some sort of impulsive trance, unable to take our eyes off of each other, as if we were two wonderful, tantalising beings.
"Did I pressure you too much Bella? You seemed to freeze up..." He asks with a wondrous expression plastered on his soft face. I hesitate before I confess.
"Well, for one, that was my first real kiss ever and the fact that I am only 14 and you are over 20... I was in too deep Edward, I'm not that gorgeous 20-something year old you were in love with, I'm just some inexperienced minor." Oh shit.
His expression had completely changed, from his spectacular happy face; it had become a somewhat sullen and angry face. His lips are pierced and he looked up at me, his forehead and eyebrows styled in a furrowed fashion.
"Why have you been looking through my things? I don't recall giving you permission to do this..." His teeth were grinding against each other, the noise like a food mixer with a heap of cement in it. It is not pleasant. Guilt stricken, I begin to sweat and I horrid cool shiver tantalises my spine. He angrily gets up from the bed and shoves on his jeans; delving in his deep pockets he finds the note.
He pauses a moment before unfolding the ball of paper into its flat former self.
"Oh, you saw this, huh?" His tone has reverted back to his original solemn, humble ways. He seems in some ways apologetic for getting angry, which I now feel he had the right to do. I swallow hard.
"Yeah, I did. Look I'm sorry for going through your things; it technically was an accident that I pondered upon it. You see I was fumbling around in the dark and..."
His finger was pressed to my lips, words fail me.
"It's okay Bella, it was an innocent mistake. Right, I think it was about time we got some breakfast don't you?"
