Italic: Bella's thoughts.

(Recap)

I smiled back at him, regretting ever leaving him in the first place.

(Bella's POV)

Overhead, low, thin clouds crept around the small town and brought the ocean's cold. The cold didn't come to me all at once, but slowly and gently. I started to shiver, but I didn't know if it was from the cold or fear.

"Edward?" I called out, my voice hoarse from the cold.

I walked along the sidewalk, edging toward a corner when a ruffling sound came from behind me. I whipped my head around, frantically searching where the noise came from. As I turned my head back, a shadow passed in front of me, as fast as a bullet, leaving me more frightened. I bit my lip, wondering where I was going anyway.

"Please, Edward." I tried again, pathetically. There was no way he would be out at this time.

"Bella?" Someone called out from behind me. I whipped my head back and yelped out in pain. Whiplash! My hands flew up to my neck, soothing the pain, or at least trying to.

I looked back up and saw Edward smiling down at me. I felt the heat rush up my cheeks, blushing.

He's just a guy, Bella, he's just a guy.

I chanted. A beautiful guy.... My other side argued back. I smiled at him in relief. I felt better around him; protected.

His hands were around my waist, pulling me to his chest. And I don't know how, but suddenly my hands were around his neck, my fingers knotting in his hair, pulling him closer. Not getting enough of him.

And we were kissing.

His lips moved in perfect motion with mine, and it felt like my arms were supposed to be around his neck. It felt like we were supposed to be kissing. It felt like we were supposed to be together. I felt complete around him.

Nothing could break this moment. It was so precious; I wanted to stay like this forever. Only I couldn't because....

"Bella?" Edward asked again. I opened my eyes, slowly, letting my eyes absorb the light. I squinted at him, and sighed.

Just a dream.

I groaned and pulled the sheets over my eyes, not wanting the dream to end. But I let my hands fall, loosing grip of the sheets as Edward's face came into view.

He smiled as my eyes opened again. "You said my name again...." he murmured gently. I bit my lip.

What did I say now?

"Don't worry, love. I'm not mad." He ran his hands through my hair, stroking it softly. I turned my head to the side, hiding my face away from him. And to tell you the truth, I got comfortable with him calling me 'love'.

"I'm mad. You weren't supposed to hear that." He took my face in his hands, making him look in my eyes. "I can't help but hear, and you know that I'm never leaving your side. Where you are, is where I'm going to be." He said fiercely, his crooked smile once again dazzling me.

OK, I must be dreaming now! I couldn't believe what he had just said. He really cared about me!

The door flew open, revealing a very disturbed Alice. "Charlie and Jacob are on there way."

I turned my head to see her expression. Her eyes were focused on Edward, (sadly he let go of my face). I looked back at Edward, my eyes widening. He took a deep breath. "Get Carlisle." he said to Alice. Alice went ahead to do her duty's, and Edward looked back at me, his eyes cautious.

"I'm sorry I keep causing so much trouble," I whispered, before he had a chance to say anything. He shook his head before I was even finished. "Bella, your not the one who has to apologize. It's Charlie; he has no right to hit you. No matter what the scenario might be." He placed his hand on my cheek, stroking it with his thumb.

And I couldn't help but lean into his touch, letting my eyes close. But what happened next surprised him as well as me. I turned my head slightly, his hand still on my cheek, and placed a soft kiss on his palm. I felt his hand leave my cheek, and opened my eyes. When I looked up, Edward was staring at his palm, where I had kissed him. He was acting like I licked him or something! Sometimes he can be so absurd!

He looked up at me, his lips slightly parted, and then he smiled, dazzling me for the second time today. My hand came up to my temple, rubbing it softly. He watched me, quietly before placing his cold hand on my forehead. It was cold, and it soothed the pain away. It helped me relax.

"When am I going to be able to go home?" I asked him. His jaw stiffened up and he replied through his teeth, "You want to go home?"

I shook my head, "NO! I just wanted to get my story straight for when Charlie gets here. I'll say I still need some medication and then I'll go home tomorrow." I said in one quick breath. How could he think I wanted to leave him?!. His expression didn't change. His eyes still wide and his jaw stiff, so I continued, "I don't want to leave, but if you want me to....." I quickly added.

He let out a sigh of relief when I finished. "No, I don't want you to leave. Ever. You can stay here as long as you like." He promised. Edward's voice was sure, but his eyes held something else. They were a light black, and it looked like they held a secret.

I wanted to know the secret, so I tuned out and started thinking of how would know a lot about the Cullen's.

My eyes flickered to the ceiling. Thinking. Jacob had said before that he knew a lot about the Cullen's. Maybe a date wouldn't be such a bad idea.

What are you thinking!? If you agree to go on that date with Jacob, Edward will think you're not interested in him! Use your brain, girl!

I debated with myself.

"Edward...."- I paused, trying to find the right words- "You know how Charlie gets when I'm here. You see how he gets." I said, lifting up my eyebrows. He winced at the sight of what had happened a little while ago. Could it have been just this afternoon?

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, maybe it's best if I go home with Charlie, see how things are at home. If there a little rough, then I'll wait to ask him."

"Ask him what?" Evident sadness in his voice. Man! That's what I was trying to avoid.

"Of letting me be around you. He apparently told me that you were....dangerous." He shook his head to himself. Edward hesitated. "Tell me exactly what he told you."

"I don't think that would be a good idea....." I bit my lip, suggestively. "Charlie can be a bit aggressive, don't you think?" I laughed weakly, lifting up my head slightly, showing what he was capable of.

He sighed, frustrated. He stood from his seat and walked around the room, pacing. I watched his every move, not leaving my eyes of his. Alice came in, OK I lied, she ran in, and went straight to Edward. They talked so fast, I didn't get a word they said. Edward would now and then look up at me, and close his eyes.

After a couple of minutes, Edward left the room, leaving Alice in the room. She shyly smiled. "Hi Bella," -she paused, looking down- "I need a moment with you....Is that okay?"

I nodded, weakly. She sat down, on the edge of the bed and looked me straight in the eye. "I really---"

Jacob burst through the door before she could continue, "Get away from her, bloodsucker!" He ran to me, his arms wide open. His strong arms sung my legs and he carried me downstairs like a bride. Very uncomfortable.

"Jake, let me GO!" I screamed, flinging my legs, impatiently. But of course I wasn't strong enough; I mean have you seen his arms?!

A low growl escaped Edward's mouth as he sprinted in to the living room. "Step away from her!!" Charlie yelled his eyes big with rage.

As they were talking, I tried to push back on Jacob's chest. But failed. Jacob got the wrong impression and tightened his arms around me, whispering, "Don't worry, Bella, I won't let them hurt you."

"You had not right to hit her!" Edward growled through his stiff jaw. He took three long strides forward, to me, but Jacob just took three steps back.

I looked into Edward's eyes, his eyes met mine and he let out a loud sigh.

"You had no right to take her away from me like that! She's my daughter and she lives with me!" -He paused, pushing Jacob and me down the last flight of stairs- "Let's go."

"Charlie, listen to me." Edward said. Charlie turned around, carelessly and crossed his arms.

"I'm not going to go along with this because you don't discuss things with her, you hit her. Everything has to be your way! You don't let anybody win, because you think you're always right! So since Bella is eighteen, a legal adult, let her choose where she wants to go."

Charlie's arms un-crossed and he held up his hands in front of Edward. I cringed, thinking of what Charlie was going to do to Edward. "No! Please don't hurt him, dad! Hold on." I yelled, detaching my self from Jacob's embrace. I walked to Edward, grabbed his hand and dragged him to the kitchen.

"What are you doing? Charlie's going to murder you!" He looked me in the eye. My chest was heaving up and down from the thought of my dad hitting Edward. He swallowed silently, "You want to leave." He said. He didn't say it like a question or a statement, more like a fact.

I shook my head, "No, I don't. But remember what I told you upstairs. I'll see you later, Edward." I quickly hugged him, but I stayed there a second longer than I should, saving the feel of his body pressed so close to mine. I walked out of the kitchen with a last glance at Edward, and into the living room.

(At Bella's house)

"Good choice, Bella. Those guys looked like they were about to eat you alive." Jacob chuckled, silently, as I made my way into the house. I turned around, irritated.

"What are you still doing here, Jacob? You got me home, safe and sound, not what do you want?" My hands were shaking and my chest ached. He answered automatically.

"Our date...." he mused. I let out a loud sigh and walked up to my room to change.

After taking a quick shower, I walked to the closet. While rummaging through my closet, I found a really cute pair of skinny jeans and decided they were suitable. I chose a light brown shirt with a V neck and took a look in the mirror. And I actually had to drag my feet downstairs, to find Jacob smiling at me, a smile of flirtation.

When I reached the last step, Jacob said, "Bella…"

I looked at my outfit and then back at him. Was I too formal? Too casual? "What? Am I that bad?" I asked.

He shook his head. "You look hot." Child like, I turned my head the other way. Was that supposed to be a compliment? I had never gotten a compliment before, other than from Edward.

And just the thought of his name, made me smile. I loved how his hair was that familiar bronze color, and how his lips moved when he said my name. I loved the way my hand fit perfectly in his, like it was made to be there. He was an irresistible desire. Something I couldn't ignore.

I didn't realize I was day dreaming until Jacob placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Thinking of me?" He asked, a devilish grin plastered on his face and his eye brows were raised. I rolled my eyes. Psh! As if.

"Let me just get my sweater, just in case I need it..." I mumbled, changing the subject. As I walked out, I heard him say something like, "I hope you don't need it."

I wish I never agreed to this! I thought.

(A/N: I'm not going to write the date, because it's going to be too long, and I want to get to the part where Jacob drops Bella off and blah blah blah! So in a sentence this is how there date went. Jacob was being obnoxious the whole time, always trying to find an excuse to kiss her, or touch her. But Bella always refused! )

(After there date)

"I had a really nice time, Bella." Jacob said, leaning in. I toke a step backward. Uh-oh.

"Yeah…." My voice broke out at the end and Jacob smiled. He touched my cheek with his fingertips and winked.

I shuddered, appalled.

How could he think I was attracted to him? Didn't he see the way I look at Edward? The way I feel around Edward? The electric shocks that go through me when he touches me? He has no idea….

"Yeah, OK bye, Jacob." I didn't give him a chance to say goodnight or anything because I walked straight up the steps to my house. When I heard his car rumble on out of the driveway, I knew it was over.

After I finished changing, I made my way downstairs. Charlie wouldn't be home for another three hours, because he had a night shift at the station.

Thankfully. So now I had the whole house to my self. But that wasn't my intention. I was thinking of walking around.

Outside a slight breeze filled the night sky. Good thing I was wearing a sweater. To kill time, I started thinking of Edward.

I was delighted to know that Edward still went to my school, which was the only place I was allowed to see him in. Not my house, not on a date.

I looked down at my shoes, blushing as I remembered the dream I had this morning. The way his arms fit around me waist, the way we started at each other without speaking, the way his lips moved against mine….

But I couldn't continue thinking because as I looked up, Edward was staring at me. A smile on his flawless features.

"Edward." I breathed. I blushed when he began to walk forward, to me. "You shouldn't be out alone, Bella. I have told you before." He warned, that crooked smile still plastered on his face.

"I don't recall you telling me that." I grinned. I couldn't believe I was walking forward as well! I must be dreaming.

"Must've slipped your mind then." He said in a teasing voice. I gasped when he lowered his head to mine and whispered in my ear, "But you should have known, otherwise."

"I'll keep that in mind." I gasped, trying to lower my heart rate. He smiled at me and walked next to me.

"What are you doing out here anyway?" I asked him after a couple of minutes of silence. It was uncomfortable, I needed to hear his voice, and it helped the nerves too.

I felt the coldness of his body reject to mine. Our hands were almost touching, and I had an irresistible urgency to reach out and stroke his lips with my hand. So when I felt my fingers twitch forward, I knew I was in trouble.

You better not….Don't even think about it, Bella!

Before I knew it, I reached over and grabbed his hand, intertwining my fingers with his. I didn't have to look up to know he was smiling down at me. So I kept looking down, turning three shades of red.

"It's OK, Bella, I don't bite." He said in a teasing voice, but I could hear the warning behind it too.

And as if it was the easiest thing in the world, Edward leaned down to kiss my red cheek.

That's when I started hyperventilating.

HE KISSED ME!! He actually kissed me!! EDWARD CULLEN KISSED ME!!!

Somebody pinch me! I squealed silently. When Edward laughed, I think I must have looked ridiculous. Screaming; just because a guy kissed my cheek! Wow, I am so pathetic. But I mean come one, you would have died to if you felt his lips come in contact with your skin!

What was that word I had used a little while ago? Irresistible desire. There you go. Edward was exactly that.

(After three hours of talking)

A giggle escaped my lips as I looked down. "OK, I admit it, it is kinda funny." I mused, quietly.

His smile faded. "You should go home, Bella."

I looked at him, puzzled. "What? Why?" I didn't want to leave him.

"Your father's home. He's looking for you."

Hey everybody! Right now I'm in my dad's work, because it's take your child to work day. Your all VERY lucky my dad works with computers and such, becuase if not, this chapter would have come out next week. Sorry for updating this now though.
