Edward's Temptation

(BPOV)

I couldn't believe that he just stood there and watched as my dad drove off with me. What was he planning that I couldn't stay beside him? I hate to say that I have this complex about being away from him too long, and knowing Charlie he would try to keep us apart. Now I wondered why my dad had even wallowed or should I say gave Edward his permission to ask me to marry him. Was this all a game to them, did they not even think about me in all of this. I would read Edward the riot act when he decides to show up in my bedroom. I was mad at him, no I was angry with him.

Charlie was quiet the whole drive home. When we got to the house he got out of the car and went to sit on the porch. He motioned for me to sit beside him. I did only because I was unsure of what he was going to do.

"Bells you know I love you more than anything else, right" he asked me. I gave him a smile.

"I know you love me dad" I said trying to think of where this conversation was going.

"I know we've only had a few months to get to know each other, but in that time sweetie you have also fell in love with Edward. I know he will one day take you as his wife and I will lose you. I know that there is something different about that family, but they seem to go out of there way to take care of you. I don't know what I would have done if it was me whop found you bleeding at the bottom of the stairs. I would have lost it" he said as he trying to keep from crying.

"Dad I will always be a part of your life in one way or another. Even if I marry Edward or not you will always be a part of my life. You are my dad and no one can take your place, Phil or Carlisle will only be my dad's after you" I said as I gave him a big hug and a kiss on the check.

"I only worry about you. Bells believe me when I say I am trying to look out for you. Billy says that it's not safe for you to be around the Cullen's but I only see love and warmth when I see them with you. They love you so much that I don't understand what his problem is with them" he stated trying not to look right at me just over my shoulder.

"What you think the Cullen's are different than you and me? Do you think they are aliens from outer space here to destroy mankind" I said trying not to giggle. He looked at me for a moment and then shook his head.

"Your out of your mind silly Bella. Billy says there enemies to all mankind that they are different for 'humans'. I just wouldn't go as far as saying they were aliens, but if they were as long as they took care of you. It would be alright with me" he said as he was getting up to go into the house. I stood to my feet thinking of what to say next.

"Dad you wouldn't care what the Cullen's were as long as they took care of me and kept me safe. Is that what you're saying" I asked almost questionably.

"I wouldn't care if they were vampires, as long as you my baby was safe with them" he said and then laughed at the thought of vampires existing. I followed behind him as we entered the house. I went into the kitchen and began preparing something for dinner. If he only knew how right he was about vampires. Damn Billy Black. I would tell Edward when I saw him what Billy had been filling my dad's head with.

(EPOV)

I watched in sadness as Bella left with her dad, yet I knew the day would come when she would have to go home. As I turned around I was now faced with six angry vampires staring at me. I was strangely annoyed that they were behaving like this Bella would be back.

"I don't understand the problem. Bella will be back. Why are you all staring at me like that?" I whispered trying to stay calm.

"You're an idiot. You asked her dad for permission to marry her. Are you out of your mind? You should have asked Bella first" yelled Alice. She was not a happy camper right now. "You have changed what I saw. You marry her yes, but never change her. I will one day lose my best friend because you're a jerk" this time she screamed her words at me.

"Alice I have told you time and time again, I will not doom Bella to this life. I want her to live a full and happy life. I will give her everything she'll ever want, but changing her" I said sadly. Yes I longed to have her as mind for eternity, but I wouldn't be selfish and change her only to take away her soul or the chance of getting in heaven. No her soul is much too valuable to just take it away.

"So your pet Bella is too valuable to change, but you would allow us to have to live with her till she dies as a human" roared Rosalie.

"She isn't something you can toy around with Edward. Bella is a decent human being that deserves to know what your intentions are and what they aren't. You can't just pick and chose for her. You need to remember she has a voice and a choice in what happens in her life" Emmett called out from trying to help Rosalie calm down.

I couldn't take it anymore I ran past them up to my room and slammed the door shut. I didn't understand I made my intentions know the moment I decided to stay with her. I loved her more than my own life. I would do anything for her. I would move the moon and stars if she wanted it done, but I would change her into a vampire. I made that clear to her the first time I told her about us. I reminded her why I didn't let her change after the James incident. She was meant to be human or I would have met her as a vampire. No it was the end of the discussion. Whether my family supported my decision or not Bella was going to stay human.

I opened my door to find Esme standing in the hallway. She turned and looked at me.

"Edward you are in all ways the son I never had. You were the first for me. I will stand behind you no matter what, but you also need to remember Bella does have a choice. I know you don't want to hear that, but you need to let her tell you her side of her thoughts before you shut the thought out" Esme said quietly before kissing my cheek and going into her room. I continued downstairs and made my way out of the house. I went around to the garage, walked past my Volvo to my special occasion car. I loved my Volvo, but I needed the change.

I pulled the slip cover off of my Aston Martin and got into the driver's seat. I put the keys into the ignition and revved the engine before putting the car in reverse and then pushing it into drive. I went past the front of the house to our driveway and before the house was out of my rearview mirror was going 80 down our long drive.

Once the car hit the highway I stayed at my current speed and headed into town. I went past most of the stores until I saw the shop that I wanted. I pulled into the only parking spot open and got out of the car. I could hear so many voices in my head, but began to block them out. I went around to the trunk of my car and noticed Mike Newton looking at me. I just waved at him, he turned and walked away. I reached into my trunk and pulled out a case and made my way into the store.
