THANKS FOR THE FABULOUS REVIEWS! ENJOY THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Lexi gave Edward a helpless look, pouting. "The puppy dog look isn't going to work this time, Lexi," he said, cupping her face. Lexi sighed and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Tell you what. Why don't I take you till the end of the forest and then you can walk from there," he whispered in her ear.
"I guess," said Lexi still moody.
Edward got up and got her jacket, opening it for her. "It's cold out today, too." Lexi rolled her eyes and stuck her arms through the sleeves. He ran a hand through her hair, making a small sigh come out of her mouth. He smiled and pulled some of her hair forward to cling around her face. "I like this look better," he said, smiling.
"One day isn't going to kill me, Edward. Who will I eat lunch with? I normally have it with you and Alice. What if that hormonal freak, Mike, starts to flirt with me again? What if Bella talks to me? Don't make me go," she begged, clinging to his shirt.
"First of all," he said, sighing. "Instead of going to the cafeteria you can have the lunch that I personally made and go study in the library for that Government test we're having on Friday." Lexi gave him a questioning look. "Alice saw it," he explained. "As for Mike, if he gives you any trouble, remember what I taught you," he said, showing her his fist, making Lexi giggle. "And Bella, try not to worry about her. I already told you that I don't love her anymore."
Lexi smiled. "Does she know what I am?" she asked.
Edward shook his head. "No, I told her that you were immune to our blood," he said.
"What else did you talk about with her?" she whispered.
Edward smiled. "Are you jealous?"
Lexi blushed. "Edward, you said that I was yours, right?" she said, getting closer to him, making gulp and nod. "Then the same applies for me. You are mine, Edward." Lexi smirked, seeing the lust in his eyes.
"What I wouldn't do to take you now?" he growled.
Lexi smirked widen. "Then do as you please."
Edward looked into her eyes as the only form of communication. "That's cold, Lexi. Seduction so you won't have to go to school."
Lexi groaned. "It could have worked," she said, shrugging.
Edward laughed and picked her up in his arms, getting her bag while at it. "Let's go now before you're late."
Lexi walked slowly away from Edward, looking back every chance she could. Soon all she could were his bright green eyes hidden on the shadow. She slowly walked to her class, trying not to be seen, but it was a good thing that she was only noticeable when she was around Edward or Alice. Other than that, no one paid attention to her. As she made her way inside the class, she greeted the teacher and sat down. She silently waited until the bell rang knowing that students won't come in until the bell rang. They didn't want to miss such a beautiful day outside.
Just as the students began to enter their classrooms, Lexi met eyes with Bella. Lexi's jaw tightened in anger seeing her. Her eyes looked down to Bella's wrist, seeing a charm bracelet. Since she had her immortality back, she was able to see better that 20/20 vision. The bracelet had a small wolf charm and a crystal heart. They had a stare off, but it was interrupted when the bell rang.
"Hey, Lexi!" said Mike excitedly. "Cullen isn't with you today?" Lexi looked back at Bella who was sitting a few feet away. She knew that she was listening. "I, uh, hear that Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen take their kids camping whenever it's sunny out."
"Uh, yeah, that's where they are," she said, not really focusing to what he was saying.
"And why didn't you go with them?" he asked.
Lexi looked at him. "I couldn't afford to miss school. Edward," she said loud enough to make Bella go stiff, "cares a lot about my education. He's a very caring person."
"That's… interesting," said Mike. "Listen, if you're not doing anything for Winter Break, maybe we can hang sometime…"
Lexi smiled politely at him. "I'm sorry, but I going to be busy with the Cullens. Uh, Carlisle and Esme said that they were going to surprise us."
"Oh," simply said Mike. Lexi gave him another apology smile and turned her attention to their teacher, who was about to start her lecture.
Lexi walked to the library, ignoring the world around her. She sat outside on one of the benches and began to eat the lunch that Edward had made her. She smiled reading the note inside the lunch bag. So old school, she thought, giggling.
Lexi,
I hope you enjoy the lunch I made you.
Edward.
Lexi shifted in her seat, wishing that "love" was in front of Edward's name. "I guess he needs more time," she whispered to herself. She smiled when she the sandwich he made her. It wasn't grand, but it was better than the school's lunch. She pulled out her Government notes and started to study for the test. She didn't have that class with him, but he always helped her study since he had it for another period.
"Lexi?" She looked up and felt her stomach turn into knots, seeing Bella standing a few feet away. Now she wished that she hadn't taken out so many things out so that she could walk away quickly without making a fool out of herself. "Can I talk to you?"
Lexi sighed and nodded. "About what?" she asked, placing her book and lunch down.
Bella hesitated and sat across her. "About Edward," she said.
Lexi sighed again, raising her brow. "Edward? Why do you care for him?" Lexi laughed. "It's obvious you don't since you slept with that wolf boy."
"So, you do know. He told me that you let him bite you. Why are you not a vampire, then?" she asked.
Lexi glared at her. "I thought Edward told you already."
"Look, let's cut the crap and let me just get over with what I want to say. I love Edward." Lexi scoffed. "And what I did with Jacob was a mistake, but I offered myself to him and he didn't take me…"
"Maybe because he respected you and thought it'll be correct to wait until you married him to lose your virginity," explained Lexi.
"And you? He didn't respect you, did he, Lexi?" said Bella with a triumphant smile.
Lexi rolled her eyes. "How do you even know if Edward and I have made love," she said with emphasis.
"I saw the look on his face. He looked content, satisfied, a look that I don't I have ever saw on his face. Jacob as gets that look whenever we…"
"Fuck," finished Lexi. She made a face when she heard a thunder rip near the school. "The only thing I see here is that you just want him back only because you can't stand that he has someone else and he has moved on with his life."
"That's not true…"
"Yes, it is," she interrupted. "I wouldn't have cared if Edward would have chosen me or some other girl. The point is that he is happy again and he will get the love that he deserves. He won't have to worry about a certain person's selfish impulses and threatening his life and the lives of the Cullens."
Bella looked astonished. "He told you everything?"
Lexi sighed. "I know a lot of things, Bella," she said, starting to put her stuff away. She couldn't stand the tension in the around them anymore.
"What are you?" she asked.
Lexi looked up. "Let's just say I'm Edward's guardian," she said, getting her school and lunch bag, walking away from Bella. She walked swiftly to the attendance office. "Excuse me, I'm here to sign out," she said, pulling out her ID. Carlisle had gotten it for her just in case, though she didn't know how to drive. She quickly filled the signing sheet out and left the school. She didn't care if she had to walk back to the Cullen's house and she could care less if this would upset Edward. She walked into the woods and finally was out of view of any foreseen eyes.
Lexi looked back just in case no one was actually following her, but when she turned her head to look where she was going she bumped into a hard chest, making her fall on her bottom. She gulped when she looked up, seeing Edward. His eyes had changed back to a golden color, telling her that he had hunted earlier. He looked upset and disappointed at her. Lexi sighed and got up.
"Why aren't you in school?" he asked.
Lexi scoffed walking past him. "How did you even know I was going to be here?"
"I didn't, I decided to stay to wait for you after school and have a snack while I'm at it. You didn't answer my question," he said, grabbing her arm.
Lexi winced at the pressure that he squeezed. "I told you it was a bad idea to go. I probably jinxed myself for saying that crap earlier. I talked to her, Edward. You don't know how much I wanted to kill her. It took every moral ounce of me not to. I wouldn't want to be condemned to hell," she murmured.
Edward looked at her hurt face. "I'm sorry, Lexi. I shouldn't have let you have gone," he said, pulling her into his arms. "I just want you to receive the best education, but I guess wisdom and intellect are more important than that." Lexi smiled. "There's something else though, isn't there?"
Lexi nodded. "Why is that you decided to… you know, have sex with me?"
Edward sighed. He knew this might have come up either way. "And now you think I disrespected you," he said, running a hand through his hair. "I can't justify for my actions, Lexi, I just had an urge and I had that urge for a long time and I just couldn't control myself anymore. There is more than lust though," he said, cupping her face. "I know that, but this feeling is very difficult for me to express this feeling again. It sometimes scares me."
Lexi smiled and pecked him on the lips. "Don't be scared, Edward. I won't hurt, but I understand," she said. Edward smiled and kissed her, longer this time. Lexi sighed into the kiss and pressed her lips closer to his. She gasped as he pushed and pressed against the tree. She even thought that she felt it bent. The kiss got rough and more passionate, and soon Lexi started to have trouble breathing and Edward's lost of familiar air was making him uncomfortable.
Edward pulled away and they were both gasping for air. "I want to take you somewhere special, Lexi," he whispered in her ear. "You won't regret it."
