Bella's P.O.V:

Then I glanced up at Edward.

So many unfathomable emotions were written on his prefect features.

I didn't know what to say, neither of us did. I guess the one word that comes to mind is awkward. Then finally, he spoke.

"Are you still hungry?" He asked quietly.

"Funny enough, I'm not anymore." I sighed, looking down at the pavement.

More silence.

Now the hurt was beginning to swell up like a big balloon inside of me, being getting bigger and bigger as the minutes passed. I needed to stop it, I needed a distraction.

"You could come back to mine for a bit if you want…" I invited him, despratly wanting to get away from this crowded town.

"Of course, if that's what you want Bella." He replied, looking directly into my eyes for the first time.

I nodded then headed towards the bus stop.

"Wait, wait, Bella. I'll drive us there, my car is just around the corner."

"Are you sure?"

"I insist." He replied, holding out his hand, and smiling warmly. I took my hand in his pale palm and gasped aloud.

"Oh my god, you're so cold! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept you standing out here for so long waiting for me."

"Bella, you're arrival was well worth the anticipation, I've couldn't stop thinking about you since I met you. And trust me, its not your fault I'm cold. I'd just get used to it if I were you."

I raised my brow in confusion. Not just because of his unusual finishing sentence, but because it seemed he liked me as much as I liked him.

"Come on Bella." He said, chuckling to himself.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I turned my key in the door. Then I remembered when it was too late, I'd left the place in such a mess from this morning!

"Please, excuse the mess. I swear its not usually like this, I was rushing to get re-"

But he silenced me with raising his hand in dismissal, going round abnormally fast and picking up and mess that'd just been in the kitchen less than a three seconds ago.

"How-"

"Sit down Bella, I need to tell you something before you get too close to me." I already am.

I obediently sat down and gazed up at Edward, awaiting his explanation.

"Bella, I really, really like you."

"And I really, really like you to." I replied with a wink.

"That's what I was afraid of."

"What are you talking about? You just said-"

"Bella, its dangerous for you to be around me."

Then everything began making sense. "Oh my god, you've got HIV or something haven't you?" I said, my voice shaking.

However, his laugh just echoed off the walls.

"No Bella, I don't have 'HIV'."

"Phew. Wait, then what do you mean?"

Then the scene from earlier flashed back to me.

"What's going on?" I asked again nervously.

"You gonna tell her or shall I?" Jake said to Edward with a sneer.

"You wouldn't." Edward warned with a icy glare towards my ex.

"Wanna bet?" He snapped back.

"Tell me what?"

"I'll tell you Bella, but later."

"Why not tell her now 'Edward'" He spat the name like it was filth.

"She wont understand." He whispered, pain in his eyes.

"You're not kidding are you?" I realised.

He shook his head.

"Is this something to do with werewolves?" Was all I could gather from the confusing memory.

"Merely." Was all he said.

"Edward, come on tell me. My ex husband used to be a werewolf, it cant be weirder then that!"

He snorted. "Bella, just promise you wont hate me." His eyes were filled with sadness.

"I promise." My voice was getting weaker and weaker as this conversation went on.

"Werewolves are supposed 'good guys' right?"

"They are." I replied automatically.

"Ok, what is a werewolves main purpose?"

I remembered back to that day on the beach with Jake, before he was a werewolf, when we were both so young, and happy.

"To protect."

"Yes Bella, but against what?" He pushed.

"V-Vampires."

He just stared at me, waiting for me to get it, and when I soon did, I wish I hadn't.

"Y-You're a, a V-Vampire?"

He nodded once again.

"Oh God, Oh God." I was in shock, unsure of how to react.

"Bella please, I swear to you I'd never dream of hurting you! Well, I don't dream but you know." He said in hurry, wrapping his arm around me. "Its ok. You're safe with me, I promise."

I struggled out of his hold and paced up and down, holding my head. Why cant I fall in love with a normal guy?

Despite all this, I didn't want to loose Edward, vampire or not.

After a few minutes, I took a deep breath of air.

"I'm not giving up on you." I said, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Are you sure you want to get yourself into this?" He asked steadily.

"Sure as ever." I replied.

Edward held my face in his cool hands and looked me deep in the eyes.

"I love you." He whispered. "And I don't expect you to love me too. To you its been a extremely sort time since you met me but to me, that's like years for me…"

"You need to stop talking for a while." I said, planting a kiss on his icy lips.
