Chapter 12: The Lion and The Lamb
Later On…
Edward had his arm wrapped around my waist and the other running through my hair that was spread out on the pillow. I turned and faced him. He smiled my favorite crooked smile and kissed me. I smiled and snuggled closer pressing my head against his chest. He kissed my head as we lay in silence for a moment. "Tell me what you're thinking." Edward said. I looked at him and smiled. "Guess!" I joked. He rolled his eyes and tickled my side. "No fair!" I pouted. He laughed his musical laugh. His eyes were brighter and happier. He caressed my cheek with the back of his hand. I ran my hand down his arm and he shuddered a little. "Now you don't have to be bored watching me sleep!" I announced. He kissed my hand and said, "I was never bored!" I giggled. Silence came again as we stared at each other. "Honestly please just tell me what's running through that pretty head before I go insane!" Edward begged. "I was just thinking how happy I am." Edward's expression grew soft and he kissed my forehead. "I'm never leaving you again." "Promise?" I asked coyly. "Promise!" Edward said. "Pinky promise!" I laughed. Edward began to shake with laughter, "Pinky promise!" he said.
"Good!" I smirked. I tried to get up but Edward pulled me back. "And where are you going!?" he asked as he kissed my cheek. "I was going to go back downstairs, so the others don't think I killed you and am now a fugitive!" "They are definitely not thinking that!" I punched his arm. "Edward Anthony Mason Cullen!" He glared at the use of his full name. I laughed again. "What?" he asked. "You're dazzling me again!" He let me go and I put my clothes back on. I turned around and looked at Edward. "Are you coming?" He was dressed and by my side in seconds. I held his hand as we walked back inside. When we got into the living room I took his face in my hands and kissed him. "I love doing that!" I informed him. We heard a squeal and I turned around. Alice and Jasper were standing behind us. She gathered me up into a hug and I heard Edward laughing. "You two are back together!" she exclaimed as she released me. I looked at Edward and saw that he was looking at her in shock. "You had a vision of this!" he must have read her mind. "Maybe!" she said innocently.
I opened my mouth to comment on her snooping habits but Edward placed his hand over my mouth and stopped me. Jasper was laughing as Alice looked at him confused. Edward released me and placed his arms around my waist. Demetri walked by us. "Hey, look! You two aren't killing each other!" Edward glared at Alice. "Who else did you tell?!" "No one I swear!" Demetri laughed. "Please! The pixie told everyone! She danced down the hallway shouting, 'they're back together!" My jaw dropped, "Alice you didn't!" "I'm sorry I was just so happy and Jasper was getting annoyed with the excitement!" Edward smirked and I grew worried. Aro's a minor problem, but I could take care of him if it came down to that. Emmett came rumbling down the stairs and grabbed me from Edward's arms. He gathered me up in a hug, but let me go when Edward insisted that I be returned. I snuggled back to Edward's cold embrace and watched Emmett do a happy dance. Demetri ran from the room when Emmett insisted that he do a repeat of the dance. I heard my cell phone ring from upstairs in my room. Edward followed me upstairs and I grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello Bella." said a cold voice that I thought I would never hear again.
"James!"
