Hidden Kisses At Midnight
Chapter 11
Elise was filled with panic as she quickly grabbed her shirt off the floor and put it on not realizing that she had put it on inside out. Jogging out of the room she went into the living room where she saw Liz sitting on the couch with her legs crossed. Liz glanced up at Elise who entered the room trembling. She tried to clam herself knowing that Liz would know very quickly that she was up to no good.
"What are you doing here?" Elise asked quickly.
"Checking on you." Liz said at once as she continued to sit. Elise looked at her trying to have some type of insight on what she wanted with her. "Something told me you were up to no good."
"Well that something was wrong." Elise spat as she leaned against the wall watching Liz who then looked like she was going to laugh.
In everything that Elise and Elizabeth did over the years growing up Liz was always noted as being the pretty and smarter one. Elise always found herself in the background or form the outside looking in when it came to matters of her older sister. Whatever Liz thought or did was always more important than anything Elise could ever do. This was always true in the eyes of their mother who always showed favoritism towards Liz who grasped every concept when she was first taught, but Elise was the one who needed a little more practice or a little more help and that always frustrated their mother. Their dad had always been a bit more understanding though hard on both girls he was a little lenient to Elise because he saw that she just needed a little more help. The only thing was they always trusted Liz over Elise and having Liz come and watching over Elise in this way showed that they truly did trust Liz more.
"Your shirt is on inside out." Liz simply stated. "Why is that?"
Elise quickly worked up the perfect lie in her head. "We were trying on clothes earlier and I must of not paid attention that I put my shirt on inside out." She then paused. "Sorry that offends you." She spat the rest with a smirk.
Liz simply rolled her eyes at Elise who stood there leaning against the wall not moving afraid of what Liz might say next, but she hid her fear well. "Your lips don't look like you were trying on clothes. Take a look in the mirror." Elise then felt the terror that ripped through her entire body as she turned to the mirror that was in Tara's living room and saw how red and swollen they were from her intense make-out with Edward. "Now you will stop seeing that…boy." She spat her words and stood walking over to Elise. "We are not to associate ourselves with vampires and definitely not sleep with them." Liz was now whispering fiercely into Elise's ear so Tara couldn't hear.
"I've never slept with him." Growled Elise at her sister. Though in the back of her mind she knew she was pretty close to doing just that in the bedroom and then she realized she didn't know what were the consequences of sleeping with a vampire, especially losing your virginity to one. Still starring at Liz who was slightly taken aback Elise stayed quiet.
"Whatever you do with him stop it, now so I won't have to tell mom and dad of your disobedience." Liz spat before making her way to the door and slamming it behind her.
Directly after the door slammed Tara entered the living room from the kitchen and looked at Elise who was on the verge of tears, but she held them back and just slid down the wall that she was standing against. Elise was now sitting on the floor and the tears had started to come. Tara rushed over to her and at on the floor with her with an arm placed around her.
"What happened?" Tara asked Elise who was wiping her eyes with her shirt.
"My parents aren't that fond of Edward so we've been pretty much sneaking around and somehow Liz found out and is threatening to tell my parents." Elise said in one breath before breaking down into to tears again.
"So wait where were you and Edward just now?" Tara asked.
"In the guest room." Elise answered as she finished wiping her face and was taking deep breaths.
"Doing what?" Tara then asked.
"Pretty much just kissing."
"Pretty much?"
"It was starting to go a little farther when Liz showed up."
"Farther?" Tara was now sitting with her mouth wide open and Elise couldn't help, but laugh at her best friend. "Where did Alice and Edward go anyway?"
"They escaped through the guestroom window." Elise then said still laughing at Tara.
"I knew something was weird with you two when you stopped sitting with us at lunch because all of lunch he is always starring your way." Tara said as she stood and helped Elise up off the ground. "How about we have pizza and find a way to sneak you two around your tattle of a sister."
Friday morning Elise trudged into school still upset over what had happened the night before. She was so angry at Liz she couldn't handle it all. She walked to her locker where she scribbled down a note for Edward and slipped it into his locker like she had done before. Walking to the library she walked inside the cold and dusty place and made her way through the bookcases to the spot she had waited at before and then moments later Edward came walking in looking gorgeous as he always was. Elise smiled to herself at the sight of him and remembering the feeling she had the night before when they were alone. Edward sat next to her and bent over for a kiss that Elise gave him happily.
"So what happened after we left?" Edward asked as he took her hand into his.
"She gave me this sad speech about checking up on me and then she told me that she knows about me and you and that I had to stay away from your or she will tell my parents." Elise looked down when telling him the last part because with everything she didn't want to have to stay away from him.
"We'll figure something out." Edward said at once.
"Hopefully." Elise said looking at him. "I was thinking tonight when I get off of work maybe I can come over to your place. Tara was thinking that we tell my sister we are going off to her grandparents place that is nearly thirty minutes away and on the way she drop me off at a rest stop and you can pick me up from there."
"You've thought really hard about this." Edward said with a laugh and Elise smiled at him.
"Very hard." Elise said before kissing him quickly and standing. "I will leave you a note after school with all the details."
Elise made her way out of the library and then to her locker where Tara was waiting for the news. Elise nodded in response to what she knew Tara was thinking. The bell rand and Elise was off to class. The evening had come quickly and Elise had done a good job at convincing Liz that she and Tara were driving to Tara's grandparents place. It was raining when Elise and Tara pulling up to the dim rest stop, but Elise saw Edward's car right away.
"Tomorrow morning at ten we will be here." Elise told Tara before getting out of the car and running in the rain to Edward's car. Slipping into the car she was met with a kiss. The two of them watched as Tara pulled back onto the highway towards her grandparent's house. Elise put on her seatbelt and sat back in the car as Edward pulled out of the rest stop and out onto the rainy highway. Elise glanced and saw he was driving at least 130 miles per hour. She decided that she wasn't comfortable with looking ahead while he drove so she turned to him. "I'm so scared."
"Of what?" he asked.
"Of Liz finding out anyways." She said softly as she bit her lip nervously.
"It's going to be okay." Edward said reassuringly and Elise did feel a little bit better.
It wasn't long before they pulled in front of his house and they got out of the car. Elise was in his arms in a matter of seconds as they walked into the house.
"We have the house to ourselves." He said softly into her ear. "Everyone else is gone hunting for the weekend."
Elise just nodded as they walked up the stairs and into his room. She sat on the couch and leaned into his arms when he sat as well. Elise just let her mind wander as she felt him plant kisses on her neck. She felt his mouth move the kiss up towards her ear and she suddenly felt his tongue flick over her ear and she felt shivers run down her spine. "Edward…" she finally spoke.
"Yes." He answered in a soft whisper in her ear.
"Before at Tara's…" she paused as the feeling of is breath on her neck. "We went well a little far and I truthfully have never, you know…had sex."
"I understand." He breathed and then she turned her head to look at him.
"I'm scared." Elise then said looking him in the eye.
"We don't have to do anything you don't want to." Edward then said running his fingers through her hair. Elise smiled and quickly kissed him.
"I want to it's just that I don't know what precautions to take you know with…with a vampire." She then let out a small laugh and looked at him in the eyes still smiling. "I want you I really do."
Edward kissed her quickly, but fiercely. "I want you, too." He answered. "It it's any help I hunted before I picked you up just so I wouldn't lose any control with you since I knew we would be alone."
"Thanks." Elise said before kissing him back.
"We don't have to do anything if you don't want to." He said softly as he held her closer to his body.
"Thank you. I now really just want to enjoy being here with you." She said happily as she looked at him. "I love every moment I get to spend with you. I don't have all of the stress I have in my everyday life when I am with you, I just get to relax and be who I am without worrying about being judged or put down."
"I'm glad I make you feel that way." Edward said before placing a kiss on her forehead. Elise then placed her head on his chest and his fingers entangled themselves with hers as they lay there. Elise then drifted to sleep on his chest letting every worry she had in the world fade away with her slumber.
