Chapter 13 Talking
I pulled away from Bella reluctantly. Her big beautiful eyes blinked up at me and we both looked towards the door.
Alice bounced happily in the doorway and skipped over to us.
"I'm so happy for you guys!!!"
She kissed the top of Bella's head and then mine. We smiled.
"You have no idea how he was Bells. He's such a drama queen."
Bella laughed and after a couple unsuccessful minutes of glowering, I couldn't help but smile.
Alice's giggles stopped finally, and she sighed.
"Well, I'll leave you to lovebirds to catch up, although I know that there will be more venom –swapping going on than story."
I growled as a laughing Alice danced out of the room.
Bella put her head down on my shoulder and I caressed her hair.
"Where were we?" I said softly to the beautiful angel in my lap.
"Right here."
She covered my lips with hers and we kissed softly until it gradually built up into a passionate battle of whose tongue got to be in whose mouth.
(A/N: ahahha that's a fun thing to say…)
We pulled away reluctantly, before it could turn into anything else. She kissed my cheek and then put rested her cheek against my shoulder.
I hummed her lullaby, something I hadn't done for in years in fear that it remind me of her. Now it was symbolic for my happiness.
It was something big for her too, I could tell.
She closed her eyes and smiled softly into my shoulder.
We sat there for several minutes, just listening to each other breath.
This was love; love where no words had to be spoken and silence was a comfort.
Violet and Zach walked in a couple minutes later. Bella must have been expecting it, since she had her eyes open and was looking towards the doorway.
The beautiful little girl smiled as soon as she saw her mother and Bella slid out of my lap and opened her arms as Violet walked into them.
Zach stood, looking at Bella and me with pained eyes. When our eyes met, he looked away and into the aqua pool as if searching for an answer between the waves of water.
Bella either heard something in his head, or understood something that I didn't, because she kissed my cheek and lifted up Violet gently, saying she was going to change her, and then she walked out.
We stood, or sat in my case in silence for minutes. It wasn't awkward exactly, but none of us knew what to say.
Finally he spoke.
"Look…I know I didn't exactly come across…nice…but…"
He stopped, and finally turned away from the water. His eyes were on fire, the yellow burning like melted gold.
(I mean the substance here, not the color. A/N)
"My mom has gotten hurt too many times…" Something happened to me when he said mom. I can't explain what it was.
"I blamed you for that for so long…and even when I knew it wasn't your fault, I had to blame it on someone."
He sighed, obviously relieved that he had that out of his system.
"Sorry…and I'm really glad you're with her again…"
And then he did something I'll never forget.
He smiled.
His whole face changed, the lines softened and his eyes lit up. His teeth were a wall of pearly white squares, and I stared at him in shock for a couple minutes before realizing I should smile back.
He walked out of the room, and I followed, almost dazed about what had just happened.
Ahhh. I hope Edward doesn't sound gay or something. I was just trying to get across how stunning Zach is. I need, need your comments.
Sneak peak of next chapter: Edward goes hunting with Bella for the first time, and something to do with Violet becoming something.
You didn't really think I was gonna tell ya the entire plot did ya?
