Chapter 10
(I do not own anything)
"Come on get out of the house Embry, Quill and Seth are in the car thought we'd all go to La Push. Maybe barbeque and mess around."
Jake says at the door. I glance at my cell to see if Bella's called or messaged me. She's not called or text since the kiss and she didn't come to school today. I just keep telling myself to give her time. I can't even imagine how hard this must be for her. I'm sure I've also made manners worse with my slip up. I admire the picture I stole of her on my cell and head out the door with Jake.
I get in Jake's truck and my cell rings.
"Dad?"
"Hey son. How you holding up kid?"
"I'm alright the guys and I were about to head out to La Push. What about you and Billy?"
"In a boat right now fishing great weather out here."
"That's good dad I'm glad to hear that."
"The house still tact?"
"Somewhat yes."
"Should be some money coming in the mail soon I'm sure you're going to need groceries."
"OK dad. I'll look out for it."
"K, well love you Edward."
"Love you too dad."
That was the most decent conversation we've had since we lost my mother. Part of me wants to get all emotional about it but I am in a truck full of guys. But it sounds like Billy is finally getting through to him. At least I hope.
"WHOA who's the babe!" Quill says grabbing my cell from my hand.
I shake my head.
"Damn is that the girl!" Jake leans over to look while he's driving.
"Yeah."
"Damn you weren't kidding!"
"Jake! Eyes on the road!" I yell as he veers off a little.
He just laughs and adjust the wheel.
"Can you send me this pic?" Embry asks.
"Hell no I'm not sending you my girlfriend's pic you ass."
"I think we're all going to have to meet this girl."
"Easy Jake, besides I don't think Angela would appreciate you ogling some other girl. I'm not too crazy about the idea of you all doing that either."
Jake and I walk along the beach as the others are too busy punching each other in the arm seeing who can leave the bigger mark.
"Hey Jake, do you happen to know the reason the Cullen's aren't allowed on this land?"
Jake looks at me bewildered.
"What brought that on? That's a random question if I've ever heard one."
"Well it's just something I heard."
"You heard that huh?" He shakes his head half smiling but looking to the ground.
"It's just got more to do with silly legends and myths."
"So if I were to bring a Cullen here?"
"Still not a good idea probably, what brought this on?"
I shrug.
"You're not telling me that this new girl of yours is a Cullen are you?"
"What if she was?"
"You're kidding." He shakes his head.
"Of all the women in the world you pick one that the Quileute's have issues with?"
"That's just it I don't understand why?"
"Like I said Edward it's all myths and legends I just think it's funny."
"But what are these legends?"
"Mainly a lot of stuff about the pale faces and the warriors, the pale faces pertaining to ancestors I suppose of the Cullen's. I suppose it's just something that's been handed down a simple feud there once was now controlled by a treaty. There's a big story to that but Billy is better at telling it. I suppose I can see if he'll let us drag you here for a meeting one day."
"A meeting?"
"We Quileute's get together every once in a while. We talk to the spirits and our ancestors and speak of legends and old battles. It's interesting to say the least."
"So you don't believe any of its true?"
"What's with you Edward? Of course not."
I nod afraid to say anything else and let it go.
Jacob drops me off and I head to the shower first. Once I'm done I towel off wrapping it around me and head to my room to get some boxers on. I enter my room and double take towards my bed.
"Bella?"
"Bad time?" She says as lying on my bed looking sexy as hell.
"Um no. Just let me. Um."
She laughs.
"Human moment got it sorry." She puts my pillow over her face as I rush to get some jeans and a shirt on deciding now that boxers might not be the best idea.
I lift the pillow from her face.
"Decent."
"I'm sorry." She giggles.
"I didn't realize…"
"Don't be." I say almost desperately and remind myself to push it back a notch.
"You got a nice chest Mr. Swan."
"I don't think it would be deemed appropriate to say the same about you."
She shakes her head and tosses my pillow at me.
"Don't be silly you've not seen my chest."
I bite my tongue wanting to add to that but choose to be a gentleman instead. Though yes I'd love to see I shake off the thought. I plop down on the bed next to her.
"So why'd you miss school today?"
"I suppose you could say family issues and the need to extend my hunting."
"I so sorry Bella."
She narrows her eyes at me.
"What for?"
"Letting your family know you told me the secret."
She laughs at this.
"Edward I was going to tell them. It's just unfortunate you beat me to the punch. I wouldn't tell you something like that and not tell my family what I'd done."
"So you didn't come here to kill me?"
"Seconds remember Edward?"
"Gotcha."
We both rest our heads on our hands and eye one another.
"Would you like to watch a movie or something?"
"Sure, well if it's not too late. I know you human's tend to have these sleep habits."
"OH well that's nothing. Pfff, sleep who need's that?"
I rise and toss some DVD's on the bed.
"Your pick."
She picks something but we don't pay a whole lot of attention. We spend most of the two hours looking at one another or talking about nonsense.
"So about that kiss." I finally get the balls to mention it.
She lays back and looks to the ceiling.
"Did you not like it?"
She covers her face with her hands and laughs.
"That was the problem Edward. I liked it too much."
"Oh… Ohhhhhhhh!" I say as if finally getting it and feel a bit more relieved.
"We have to be careful Edward."
"So like um. How do I say this?" I press my lips together now lying on my back as well.
"You want to know if my blood lust goes up when I feel lust as well?"
I nod not able to control my grin.
"It depends on how heated I get. The kiss certainly had me going. It's an odd feeling to want to pin your boyfriend to a tree and seduce him one moment then drain him from life the next."
My eyes automatically shot open at the words pen to a tree, boyfriend and seduce.
"And what if I kissed you now?"
She sighs and looks to be in thought.
"How about I try something?"
"Like?"
"Just lay still and don't move."
I nod.
"I'm serious Edward."
She crawls over me looking at me. Every bit of me wide awake and I do mean everything. I feel her hips against my own.
"Don't move." She warned again as she leaned into kiss me.
I got so into the kiss and the arousal from it. I place my hands against her rear and start moving her against me. She flings back against my wall eyes black again. I notice though she controlled it better this time. I watched as she closed her eyes and worked on gathering herself. I took the time to put a pillow over "it". She opens her eyes after a few minutes. They are honey colored again and she sees the pillow on my crotch and can't stop laughing.
"And you didn't listen." She finally says once she stops laughing.
"Huh?"
"You had your hands all over my ass Edward. Do you want your pelvis broken?"
"Depends on the situation."
"This isn't a joke."
"Sadly, I wasn't joking. I can't help it if you drive me mad Bella."
She shakes her head and glances at my window.
"I better be going it's getting late and I know you need your rest for school."
"Are you going to school?"
"Yes."
"Well could I at least pick you up and maybe even take you home?"
"That depends are you bringing that pillow along?" She teased and was gone.

I walk up to the porch after hunting and Alice is there already waiting.
"TELL ME EVERYTHING!" She squealed.
"Alice!" I look around hoping the others aren't watching.
"Apparently you already know you perv."
"It's not my fault if I happen to see certain things."
"Well if you must know it was just a kiss and it wasn't our first it was our second this one just happened to go a little better, if you can really call it that."
"Oh please don't tell me he's a bad kisser Bella?"
"He's certainly not in fact he's a little too much. Which causes some issues I have to be careful with..."
"Ever think it could be the other way around for him as well? Face it Bella you're freaking hot and of course Edward's going to have a hard time keeping his hands off you."
"Alice!"
"I'm just being honest."
"Then what would you suggest I do Alice? Ravish him?"
We both break out in laughter as our dad walks up on this conversation just at the word ravish.
He shakes his head.
"I heard nothing…" He lies and goes inside.
"I do believe if our dear father had a beating heart you'd had made it stop right there."
I can't help but to crack up once again.
I step outside hearing Edward drive up. However, Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper are all sitting on the porch eyeing the poor guy as he steps out of the car.
"Dad!" I hiss.
"Don't you realize what this looks like to him!"
Emmett nods.
"It's just what it is Bella."
"You all must be joking he's a human boy what could he possibly do to me? It's him that needs the protection!"
I squeeze between them all and see Edwards grin as he sees the trio of male vampire power waiting on the porch.
"He's just taking me to school!" I turn and harshly whisper.
"Sure he is…" Emmett says and my dad hits him on the back of the head.
"What?"
Edward pulls out his phone eyeing me with a certain mischief about him. Dulling Banjos starts playing on his cell as he looks to the trio. Jasper loses it and Emmett looks confused. My dad just shakes his head with a hint of a smile. He takes my hand and walks me to his car.
"I'm so sorry." I said once he got in.
"Nah, I actually thought that was great."
"You really are odd."
"Once again says the vampire my dear."
He takes my hand kissing it and starts the car.
Edwardpov
We arrive at the school and instantly everyone is watching the moment I open the passenger door and Bella exits.
"Oh wow." She says looking around.
"It seems we've stirred up something."
"Certainly have."
I take her hand and we enter the building. Wondering possibly what sort of gossip she's hearing as we walk down the hall. We pass by Jessica and Mike both look completely stunned they even stop just to watch us walk by. Eric however tries for a high five at my locker right in front of Bella.
"What are you doing?"
"Aw gonna leave a bro hanging?"
"So you and Bella Cullen… Nice."
I shut my locker and wish he'd just shut up.
"Um yeah…" I nod desperately his way.
"Oh I get it bro."
He nods suggestively at Bella before finally walking away.
"Cool guy." Bella says with a huge grin perhaps enjoying my torture a bit too much.
"Relax Edward." She says and starts walking to class.
"Right.." I say watching her ass as she's walking off.
"Are you staring at my butt Edward?" She calls without looking back.
I clear my throat and catch up without answering.
Lunch was a bit awkward to say the least I've Eric and his new girl on one side. Then Bella has her family on the other. All in which eye us waiting to see what our decision will be.
"Outside?" Bella says.
"Um yeah good idea." I swallow hard though as I watch Jasper and Emmett stare me down like prey.
Bellapov
Everything seems to be ok for now that is. I'm learning to deal with the torture of desiring his blood more and more. However, I still find myself being careful when we're being intimate so to speak so not to break him. The dangerous thing about this however, is I find myself falling deeper and deeper. Everything about him screams at me. The way he smiles, laughs, how even though I'm a vampire Edward still treats me like a girl or lady to be exact, just who he is as a person, hell how he looks in just a pair of jeans and nothing else.
If only I had known the danger…
The whole time I was worried about me hurting him…
Never did I imagine something much worse…
