(ROSALIE'S P.O.V)

Content.

The feeling I am unaware of until this very moment. Bella had fallen asleep several hours ago but I refuse to leave her side. She looks so peaceful in her sleep and I feel so content just watching her all night. Yeah sounds creepy but I can't help it. My human MATE is too beautiful to resist.

"Rose..." my sister called to me from the closed door.

"Come in Alice." I responded without taking my eyes off to the sleeping form next to me. Alice entered the room quietly being careful not to wake up my human mate. In my peripheral vision, I can see a small smile in Alice' feature.

"You know, you look even more beautiful without a usual scowl on your face. Right now, you look so relax, calm and peaceful. It's nice." she said as she sat down on the bed. My only response is a smile because honestly I don't know what to say to that. After a moment I heard her heaved a sigh before continuing to speak "Rose, I know you don't want to leave Bella even for a second but you need to hunt. The sun is about to rise and it's Monday we have school later."

I groaned at the thought of school. I don't think I can control myself anymore if that pervert Mike keep staring at Bella inappropriately.

"Remind me again why I am not allowed to kill that boy Mike." I said seriously which earned a giggle from my tiny sister.

"Because Rosalie, you can't let the green eyed monster control you. Now shoo! Go hunting while Bella is asleep. I'll watch over her, I promise." I let out an unnecessary sigh before placing a gentle kiss on Bella's forehead. Alice was right, I need to hunt. I reluctantly got up from the bed while Alice took the spot I just vacated. She laid a little too closer to my human mate earning a disapproving look from me.

"Alice if I didn't knew any better I would think you like to meet the green eyed monster too. You do realize you're closer to my mate than necessary, right?" I said to her threateningly when I saw her arm laid comfortably at Bella's waist. Of course Alice is well... Alice. My threat didn't scared her even just a bit. Instead, she rolled her eyes as she shoo me away to leave. I narrowed my eyes to this as I speak again, my tone was firm. "Alice! I said-"

"Rosalie your jealousy is a bit too much. I'm not going to take her away from you, okay? Now, be quiet you're waking Bella up." she cut me short before I could threaten her again. Bella stirred a little, fortunately she didn't woke up. Another sigh escaped my lips before turning to the door.

"I won't be long." I said simply before closing the door and leave.


The sun had already rose when I came back from the hunt. I made sure to be quick and full before going back to my sleeping mate. To my relief, Bella still peacefully asleep in Alice side when I got to my room. My sister aren't lying that close to my mate anymore, she's now currently sitting beside my mate reading a magazine to entertain herself. She looked up from the magazine meeting my gaze. A smile gracing her face. I return the smile, silently thanking her for staying with Bella while I'm out. Without a word she got off of the bed and leave the room quietly with a nod.

I don't know how long I've been watching Bella sleep. Her presence alone is enough to make me forget everything around me. I know I need to wake her up soon so we won't be late in school but I don't want to, I don't want this blissful moment end. I wish I can keep her here forever. I know I will never be tired just looking at her.

My musing came to a stop when I heard my human's heartbeat began to speed up, a sign that Bella is waking up. I watch her as her eyes sleepily blink a few times before her gaze settled to me. A smile forming her lips.

"Good Morning, Bella." I greeted softly at her.

"Morning, Rosalie..." she replied rubbing her eyes adorably. "Do I need to get up? I'm too lazy, your bed is too comfortable and smell nice."

I actually smile at this. Bella is acting like a child and it was too cute to witness. She buried her face deep into the pillow, inhaling my scent in it. It's really great to know that she like my scent. I always notice her calm or smile everytime she caught my scent.

"As much as I want you to stay here, I'm afraid we can't. We have to get ready for school." she let out a groan after hearing school. Obviously I am not the only one who hated school. "Come on, Esme made breakfast for you."

She didn't moved. She remain lying on my bed, her face was covered by a pillow. If I can't here her heartbeat I would mistakenly her asleep. She's awake though. Or maybe she's beginning to fall asleep again.

"Bella..." I called to her with a hint of playfulness on my tone.

"Hmm?" she hummed in response peeking a little at the pillow she's hugging. I swear I never envied a pillow until now.

"If you don't get up now I'll tickle you." I said seriously as I could. Bella's eyes widen watching my expression intently.

"You wouldn't-"

"Try me." I moved slowly to her, Bella's eyes if possible widen even bigger as she watch me moving closer to her. She sat up hurriedly when she realized I'm serious and tried but failed to escape me. I poke her side lightly and I was not disappointed at the reaction I got. She jumped up in surprise and narrowed her eyes on me. I'm not affected of course, I know she's not really upset so I continued tickling her. It didn't take long before I heard the beautiful sound of her laughter.

"Sto- stop... pl- please..." she said in between hysteric laughter. She's so beautiful. Her eyes teary from too much laughing, her cheeks were flushed and her lips was curve into a big genuine smile. I want more than anything to just kiss that lips already and mark her as my mate. It took a lot of my self control to not do just that.

"So... would you still like continuing your sleep?" I grinned at her, somewhere along our playful tickling I ended up on top of her. Our face dangerously close but I didn't moved away from my position. Bella's face were still red though I'm not sure if it's from our position or from laughing too much maybe both. But whatever the reason was... Bella looks so much beautiful when she's blushing.

"That... was so... unfair." she said in between catching her breath and pouted cutely. Her breath tickling my face as she spoke. They said human's breath at the morning has an unpleasant smell but Bella's far from it. She always smells sweet and fresh.

'No doubt her lips tasted sweet too.'

Bad thought.

I felt my golden eyes turned black at that thought. 'Control yourself Rosalie, you can't kiss her now. You'll scare her away.' I closed my eyes telling those exact words on my head repeatedly. I can hear Bella's heartbeat began to speed up. 'Shit! I'm scaring her. I need to get up.' but my body won't comply. Instead I felt my body lean forward. I chanced to open my eyes for the last second before our lips finally touch, maybe if I see how scared Bella, I'll be able to stop. But... Bella doesn't look scared. Her eyes were shut. 'Does she want this too?' I didn't bother to answer that question. I will find out anyway. So I closed my eyes again. The same time that our lips met.

The kiss was innocent. Lips were touching firmly. No movement. No tongue involve. It was just my lips touching her lips. I never expected this kiss to be like this, not that I'm disappointed. I actually like it. Very much. But I thought I would turn into a hungry animal giving the fact that I waited this moment for so long and how I desperately wanted it. Fortunately it wasn't the case.

It was me who gently pulled away from the kiss after awhile. Our forehead touching still as I opened my eyes. The sight that greeted me warmed my long dead heart. Bella's eyes were still shut closed but the sight that almost made me cry in relief was the soft smile gracing her beautiful face. Seeing that, answered my question earlier. 'Yes, she want this too.' and with that, I once again leaned in and capture those enticing lips for our second kiss. She was startled at first but then relax at the kiss.

I was not mistaken. Her lips tasted sweet but better than I imagined. I began to move my lips expertly but gently which earned a moan from her. Her hands automatically went to the back of my neck as she started responding to my kiss. Her inexperienced lips move clumsily against my own lips. And damn! That clumsy lips of hers were the greatest kiss I ever received in my hundred years of existence! Too bad though, we have to end this kiss before I suffocate her. This time it was Bella who pulled away to catch her breath. She didn't speak but her eyes, her expression, her smile... says only one thing. She likes me too or... I hope love me as well. We just laid there. At my bed. Me, on her top. Our foreheads were touching as we stared at each other's eyes. No one dared to speak. The mood was too good to be true that we feared it will break as soon as we speak. We both know we have a lot to discuss but we also know that it wasn't the right time to talk. So we just laid there. Both have a smile on our lips.

"Hey Rose, morning Bella! Esme said breakfast is ready you two may want to go downstairs before the food gets cold." Alice suddenly popped up from nowhere startling the two of us. And just like that, our blissful moment broke.

"Morning too, Alice. Can you please tell Esme we will be downstairs after Rosalie and I got ready?" Bella requested politely. My sister just nod at her making Bella smile appreciatively. Alice turn to me and sent me a wink before walking out the room. That's when I realized that Alice had intended her interruption my moment with Bella. 'Oh I'm gonna kill her for this.' I thought irritatedly.

"No you won't. She's your only sister and you love her too much." I heard Edward said from his music room. 'Stupid annoying mind reader.' Edward chuckled but didn't say anything more.

"I love you too, sister!" Alice teasingly said downstairs, she clearly heard what Eddie had just said. 'Urg! She's lucky she's my sister and I love her or else...'

"She loves you too, Ali." Jasper joined in. Interrupting my train of thoughts. I can tell from his voice that he's smiling. 'Stupid emphatic brother.'

"Yeah she definitely love you too, Alice." Edward said laughing really hard when I groaned quietly so Bella won't hear. Jasper and Alice soon joined in, laughing hysterically at my expanse. 'Stupid gifted vampire!' I mumbled exasperatedly. Bella looked at me in concern, I guess my expression gave away my annoyance at my siblings.

"It's nothing. My gifted siblings just bullying me." I whined at her which earned more laughing from my siblings, we can now practically hear their laughter in my room, to make matter worse, even Esme, Carlisle and Emmet joined in. And when I thought it won't get any worse, I proved it wrong. Because at that moment... Bella burst in laughter too!


Everyone's eyes are on us as soon as we reached the campus. We are always getting this kind of attention anywhere we go so we had already got used to it by now. Bella though is another case. She looks uncomfortable as we walked together to the hallway. The fact that she's the new student and that she's with me, one of the infamous Cullens, the most unsociable person they know and the renown Ice Queen of Forks High, no wonder people would stare at her. It was the first time in two years they saw the Cullens getting along with other human that is not part of the family after all. I would laugh at their reaction if only Bella isn't look uncomfortable with everyone gaze.

"You should get used to it. I'm sure you'll get a lot more of this staring in the future. That is if you still plan to go to school after you were changed." I said to her as I walk her to her first period. What I said is true. Bella will become even more beautiful. Her every physical flaws will vanish in instant making her look perfect, not that she isn't perfect now. She looks perfect to me. She will always be. I'm sure if she decided to blend in with humans after she was changed, the attention she's getting now will be doubled or tripled when she become a vampire.

"Actually, I still don't know what will I do after my change. Aro promised me he and his kingdom will help me to start but once I got used to being a vampire and I got a full control of my hunger, it's still up to me whether I want to stay to them or leave." Bella explained to me. I'm relieve that Aro gave her a choice and didn't forced her to stay and become a guard in Volturi especially it was obvious that Bella has a gift. I wonder if Aro's gift works on her? Possibly not too.

"You can stay with us if you want to. I'm sure Carlisle and everyone else in the family will be happy to have you." especially me but I don't want her to be my sister, I want more than that and if the kiss this morning was any indication then I'm sure Bella didn't want to be my sister either. And she just confirmed it.

"Then you'll be my sister..." Bella made a face with that which earned a giggle from me. "and sisters don't kiss-" she paused then a full blush spread on her face. She bit her lip shyly as she whispered "intimately."

If I'm still human I would be blushing too. Luckily I wasn't. It'll be a shock to the humans if they saw the one Rosalie Hale blush. I was about to reply but the sound of the bell interrupted me from whatever I am going to say. Bella gave me a friendly kiss on the cheek then she spoke again.

"I'll see you at lunch. Uhm, I'm hoping we could talk about what happened this morning?" Bella sounds shy and unsure so I smiled at her and nod.

"I'll come and get you at lunch. I know a good place for a private talk. Have a good day Bella." I said to her as I hugged her goodbye. I waited her to be seated at her seat before I decided to leave and go to my own classroom. Wishing on the way that our talk goes well.

(BELLA'S P.O.V)

The tingly feeling and the delicious taste of Rosalie's lips still lingered my mind as I watch Rosalie go to her own class. The kiss for the lack of better term was amazingly great. The fresh aroma of rose and the taste of her cold lips blends in deliciously that it left me intoxicated. For awhile, I thought I was dreaming. Rosalie Hale kissed me. Not once but twice! And God, it was too great to be true! To say that I'm happy was understatement. I am overjoy. The woman I just realized I'm in love with, kissed me. Maybe she feels the same or at least like me, why did she kissed me otherwise?

'You do realize she has mate somewhere, right?'

My smile faltered at what my inner voice had said. It's true, Rosalie has mate somewhere. All vampire has. I was so absorbed to the great tingly feeling that Rosalie's kiss brought me that I completely forgot about her mate she haven't met yet.

'Maybe you are her mate?' my inner voice said again.

'First you remind me of a very hurtful reality and now you're trying to console me?' I replied to myself like a crazy human would. When did I start talking to myself?

'You know it's possible, all the sign was there. She's a bitch to everyone but with you she's nice. She's protective of you. She smiles to you. A lot. She whine at you this morning. She's more open to you than her siblings. She's comfortable with you. She glared to everyone who's making you uncomfortable. And, you saw the way she looked at you when you two kissed. She likes you. Or maybe even love you.'

What my inner voice said made me feel a bit better. Just a little bit. All of it was true but I don't want to get my hopes up. It will hurt too much if it came out I am not her mate. I love Rosalie. I now understood those feelings I felt the first time I locked gaze with her. The need to know her, to be close to her, to make her smile, my protectiveness, the pull... is now all make sense. It was love at first sight.


A/N: It's been a long time, isn't it? I want to apologize for not updating for too long. There's just a lot of things happened to us this month. I was on the hospital for two weeks and a few days after we got out of the hospital, the typhoon hit us. Two of our roof was tore violently by the heavy wind and our wall was completely destroyed. We don't have electricity for three-four days so I really can't write anything. When the electricity was back, the next problem was the access to the internet. We can't plug our wifi router because it was wet from the rain. The broadband don't have signal either. So you see? Even I want to update, I really can't. I hope my readers understand this and still keep supporting me. Please pray for us. We are really in need right now. Your prayer is more than enough to help us. Thank you and again sorry for the delay.
