Chapter 10

"So I was thinking about your whole witch theory thing when I decided to check some stuff out."

"What?" I asked.

He pulled out a picture of a map with two dots on it. He straightened out and smiled.

I looked at the map confused, "Okay what am I supposed to be seeing?" I asked.

He frowned right when he was going to explain Anna walked in, "I found something."

We all turned to look at her, "What?" I asked.

She walked up to me and gave me what use to me a paper, "A note," she said happily.

I took it from her gently but it was withered and dirty, "Where did you find it?" I asked.

"On one of the blonde victims clothing," she said. She looked up at Andy and grinned. I shook my head, "What did I tell you two this morning?" I said as I looked at the paper in my hands.

"Sorry," Ana said.

"Is Ang here?" I asked.

"Yeah she's in her office," she replied back.

I walked passed her and started walking to Angie's office. I walked in and stopped in front of her at her desk, "I have something for you to do."

She smiled and stood up, "Finally," she said as she gently took the paper from me, "What is it?"

"A note. You think you can try and figure out what it says?" I asked.

She walked passed me and to her computer, "I'll have it ready in a couple hours," she looked down at her watch, "So then maybe you'll see it tomorrow because its late already."

I looked down at my watch, "You know what? You can do it tomorrow if you like. Its late you should be getting home already."

"You sure?" she asked.

"Yeah," I gave her a quick hug, "Go home. Get some sleep."

She nodded before she walked out of her office. I turned around and slowly walked out of the office and back to the lab.

We all left shortly afterwards. Edward and I left together. I walked into the house completely exhausted and fell on the couch, "I'm bushed."

Edward came and sat down next to me, "Go to bed I'll be there in a bit."

I nodded and got up and started walking upstairs. I did it very slowly because I was tired and scared that I might fall down and kill myself. I got into my pajamas and slid under the covers. My eyes immediately closed when my head hit the pillow.

"Have you found anything new?" Melissa suddenly said out of no where.

I jumped up and opened my eyes from surprise, "How many freakin times do I have to tell you not to do that?!"

"Sorry," she said apologetically. "I thought you heard me."

"Yeah sure cause you can hear ghosts appear out of no where," I said sarcastically.

"Sorry I just wanted to know," she said.

"Look I'm tired can you just come tomorrow morning and ask?" I said as I lay back down to sleep.

"Yeah okay sure…so how has the sex thing been going?" she asked.

I looked up at her a bit irritated but I really did want to talk to someone about it, "Its not."

"What? Why?" she asked.

I took a deep breath, "James is back," I whispered.

"What?!" she yelled.

I brought my hands up to my ears and sat up, "Ow. Not screaming would help," I said as I slid my hands down.

"I thought he was dead?" she asked.

"Yeah I thought you were dead too and look," I said moving my hand up and down in front of her.

"That's different. I had unfinished business and now I'm your guide."

"Yeah well you'd think your guide would know that the man that raped and tried to kill you would be coming back from beyond."

"You can't blame me. I have an afterlife to live you know?"

I smiled at her, "You do? I thought you were just here for me?"

"What? Just because you're not having sex doesn't mean I can't," she said with a smug smile.

"How the hell does a ghost have sex? This isn't fair," I pouted. "You're out having an afterlife and getting laid while I'm here not getting any."

She smiled, "That's not my fault. You're man is the one that doesn't want to do anything."

"Do you know why?" I asked. "I mean you can read his mind right? Can't you just tell me why he won't?"

"No need you already know," she said as she got off my bed, "Maybe you should try tonight. He's just downstairs watching TV. And he's wide awake."

I smiled, "Fine but you have to leave."

"What? Why?! I don't want to miss the fun!" she said as she crossed her arms.

I chuckled as I started getting out of bed, "Fun? More like work."

I walked downstairs slowly and quietly, "Hey," I said once I was finished walking down the stairs.

He turned his head to look at me, "Hey. What are you doing up? I thought you were beat?"

I walked over and sat on his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck, "Melissa woke me up."

"Why?" he asked.

"She just wanted to be caught up on the news," I said with a shrug.

It was quiet, well except for the TV, as we stared at each other. I decided it was finally my chance. I slowly leaned in and kissed his bottom lip lightly. He kissed back immediately. I deepened the kiss as my tongue explored his mouth. I pressed my body closer to his and slowly forced him flat on his back on the couch.

My legs pressed up against his thighs as I got on top of him and kissed with more passion. I was ready to do it. I wanted to do it. I needed to do it. I thought I was so close to having him when he suddenly pulled me off of him, "Bella," he sighed a bit frustrated.

"What?" I asked a bit breathless but not getting off of him.

"You know what," he said with that expression that I did something wrong.

I got up and off the couch and stood up to face him, "I can't wait for you forever Edward."

"Why not? I waited for you," he said as he sat up on the couch.

"I was ready a long as time ago Edward. I love you and all but I can not wait for you!"

And then there was a loud crash from behind me.
