CHAPTER 12.

We drove in silence for a couple of miles, Edward kept his eyes on the road and I looked at him, expecting him to scold me for being so egocentric.

I mean, I had gotten what I wanted out of him, and then we left Jason alone on the floor in the street. That sounded selfish to me.

I shivered as the cold came through the open window on Edwards's side. He looked at me and pressed the up button. The window went up noiselessly; I wrapped my jacket tighter round me and shuffled down in my seat, curling my legs under me and resting my forehead against the window. I closed my eyes momentarily and heard Edward stop the car and put something warm over me. From the feel of it, it was his expensive leather jacket.

I smiled to myself and went to sleep, knowing that we had a whole night ahead of us with the short amount of gas my car already had.

There was a beeping sound from my pocket and I groaned, sitting up and taking it out of my pocket. I glance at the mobile screen and turned it off. I wasn't going to let Jason harass me with consistent phone calls and texts. Edward looked at me and the crooked smile that made me fall in love with him, appeared in his handsome face.

I peeked at him from my under my jacket collar and he laughed.

"You're not going to tell me off?" I asked, suspicious about what he was thinking. I was too tired to go into his mind, and it took me a lot of energy just to say those words.

"Tell you off? For what?" he asked.

"For being egocentric." I muttered so low I hoped he hadn't heard. But he had.

"Why would you be egocentric? Bella, you haven't done anything to be conceited, you know." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I did. I got what I wanted from you and I left Jez on his own in a street. That is selfish if you ask me."

"But I'm not, am I?" he smiled at me. I had this horrible feeling I wanted to stick my tongue out at him, but that seemed childish, and according to my human years, I should be about twenty. I grimaced, am I that old? Urgh, thank God I'm not human. I would be worrying about my age all the fricking time! I couldn't go back to sleep after that. I was wide-awake, talking to Edward about everything and anything that would pop into my mind.

At around 10.00pm, Edward stopped the car in front of what looked like a little Bed and Breakfast. He looked at it for a minute and then over to me.

"You're tired, Bella." He noted.

"No, I'm not." I protested. Just then, a great yawn escaped. Edward laughed and pulled me onto his lap. He pulled his seat back so there was enough room for him and me.

"Of course you aren't" he replied sarcastically.

"Yeah, but I don't want to go in."

"Why not?"

"Because I would want you in the same bed as me, and then I would kiss you and that might lead to something that you don't want me to do."

"Hence I would do something I don't want to do." He murmured in my hair. He started to hum the lullaby I had 'grown up' with. The first few nights that Edward used to stay at my house, he stayed all night with me, sending me to sleep by humming the lullaby he had written especially for me. He stroked my hair as he hummed me to sleep.

The last thing I remembered was Edward lying me down in my seat, and stroking my hair a last time before ending the lullaby.
