Well, I'm sorry I didn't post on Friday, or Thursday. It's been busy for me, and when I tried writing the next chapter, I couldn't. So, I just read Twilight, and then New Moon. Ha, I love those books. Well, Happy Easter for those who celebrate, and if you don't... Happy Sunday! Okay, I'd like to thank my friend Amber for her opinion on some of the reactions Bella has (even for the previous chapters), I mean, she gave some good responses, and she cooperated pretty well, considering she never read Twilight or New Moon (Ha, I had to explain why Edward left in New Moon), but anyways, thanks to her, also to Breanne for her insight. And, of course, to the people who review. And... I want to add this in, due to easter and all... Long live the bunnies. Ha. You should read Watership Down, it's amazing... and full of rabbits! Oh, well, enough of me. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or New Moon. But, everybody knows that! The amazing Stephanie Meyer does, who I shall probably never meet due to the unfortunate thing that her book tours don't come to Canada!
Alice's POV;
I was driving myself to school today, and I did not have a problem with it. But that was obvious. My usual driver was with my best friend, and I was definitely happy about that. I wanted to scream with happiness, but I knew I shouldn't… I didn't want to scare anyone. Ha! I smiled though, and kept on driving. I was driving Jaspers' car, since Rosalie wouldn't even let me touch hers. I sighed, but kept on driving—his car smelt of him and I breathed in, enjoying the scent. I love him so much. I looked through the window and noticed I was arriving at the school—early. I love arriving early!
I put the car in Edwards' usual parking spot and turned the car off. It was a black car, fast, but inconspicuous. He wasn't like Rosalie and bought the car everyone knew about—the red Mercedes. I smiled at that thought and stepped out of the car, and had the attention of a freshman who thought of me as a single senior who was innocent. I laughed at that thought and knew he didn't know about Jasper, since he graduated the previous year and gone to "university". I didn't want to lead him on, so I didn't look at him, and leaned against the car, waiting for Bella and Edward to arrive. I knew they'd be here soon enough, together.
I smiled and waited, and knew it would be 3 minutes until then. I closed my eyes and looked up to the sky, glad it wasn't a cloudy day, but I knew the freshman was coming over, with his friend. I sighed, and knew what was coming.
"Is that your car?" he asked, the one that "wanted" me, his name Brad—since I "saw" him introduce himself. I shook my head, and kept my eyes closed, staring at the sky. Brad didn't seem to notice that I was trying to brush him off, came and touched it. Jasper won't like that… I shook my head, telling him not to touch the car. He noticed that and stepped away. "I'm Brad by the way, and this is Chad," he said, indicating his friend, who was shorter then me. I giggled, and shook there hands. They didn't seem to notice my unusual cold hands.
"Hello Brad, hello Chad. You're freshman aren't you?" I asked, trying to discourage them—it didn't work. It seemed that since I knew they were freshman it encouraged him. "Yeah, we are… And you're a senior," said Brad, who stuck out his chest as he said that. I nodded but looked away. Chad was doing the same, embarrassed that Brad was making a fool of himself. "So, if that isn't your car, and I noticed your brother already has a car, so it isn't his, whose is it?" He was persistent, and I wanted to laugh at his foolishness… but I didn't. I told him the truth, partially. "It's my boyfriends."
He was surprised, I could see that, but didn't back down. "How come he doesn't go here? Did he drop out?" I wanted to laugh at that thought. Jasper drop out of school? Ha, he loved learning… but not high school. I decided to finally let him go, since Edward and Bella were going to be in 1 minute. "He's actually came home for awhile, from university. I'm glad too, I've missed him." Brad looked shocked, and I decided this was a perfect moment to say goodbye. "Well Brad, Chad, I'm glad to meet you, but I've got to meet my brother and my best friend now." I started to walk off, but Brad grabbed my arm. He grabbed my arm. "Please let go, now." My voice was hard, and I was glad Jasper wasn't around. "Want to go out sometime?" I sighed in frustration, and moved my arm from his hand. "No thanks. I have a boyfriend who I love more then what you're capable of." I knew it was mean, but I didn't want to see him. Chad heard this, and grabbed Brad to go. "Come on Brad, just let it go. She doesn't want to go out with you. She's obviously in love with her boyfriend," and dragged him off. I was about to smile a thanks to him, but Edward and Bella arrived.
I turned around, and noticed Edward looking at Jaspers' car, in his parking spot. I smiled at him, and waved to Bella. They looked happy and I wanted to burst with happiness. Bella was still dressed the same, but looked different. Everything was perfect about her, and Edward, same with him. They definitely are great together! They both "heard" that and smiled, while Edward parked his car in the spot beside mine. I didn't give Bella a chance to even unbuckle her seatbelt before I was over her. "AH! I'm so happy for you two," I hugged her and she hugged back, and laughed. Not the laugh she had with Rosalie and me, but a laugh that I have not heard her laugh since her 18th birthday… or the vision I had of her and Edward. It didn't matter, she was happy, and so was Edward. I looked up, and he was already at the open door, waiting to get Bella out of the car—waiting for me to get off of her. I smiled, and stepped out. Edward smiled a thank you and put his hand out for her. I sighed with happiness and stepped back another step. "How was the rest of your evening?" I knew what happened, but I still asked them. Edward and Bella gave me a look at the same time, and I had to laugh. "Okay, fine. I just wanted to hear it from you," I grumbled jokingly.
Bella laughed again, and stood up. The outfit Rosalie and I picked out went great with her. It was a basic outfit, but went well with Bella. Of course, it was the only time she'd ever come out like that with me being in the same room. Bella looked at me in horror, and I knew she "heard" that thought. I laughed again and pulled her along, but Edward was at her side, holding onto her hand. I sighed, and knew the only time I'd have alone with her in a long time was in school, and I wanted it to come faster. Just as I thought that, the bell rang—signaling for students to get to there homerooms. I sighed, and looked around. Students were making their way across the lawn, and walking to there class. Edward, Bella and I did the same, but then Bella turned the other way, away from the English class.
Edward was at her side in an instant, and had grabbed both her hands. "Where are you going?" His voice was filled with concern and sorrow. I wasn't the only one that noticed, and Bella smiled up at him—reassuring him. "I'm not leaving you, well… I am leaving you, but only for now," she whispered and stood on her tiptoes, to reach his lips. The height difference was comical, and I let out a laugh. Edward and Bella both turned to me, and I rose up my hands. "Fine, I'm going, but I'll see you in gym Bella." I stepped back, and gave Edward a wave. He looked confused; he forgot that Bella wasn't in our English class. I sighed, and walked into the class. Some students looked up at me in surprise, to see that I wasn't without my brother but went back to there conversations.
I sat down at my usual seat and listened to Bella talk to Edward—explaining she wasn't in the class. "Aren't you going to English?" he asked, still not getting that Bella wasn't in our English class. She sighed, but let out a laugh. "Well, I am," she said slowly—getting that he didn't remember that she wasn't in his class. "I'm just going to my English class. Edward, remember, I'm not in your class?" He remembered, because he swore under his breath. "Well, I don't want you to be alone," he told her slowly, and she laughed. "It's okay, but Edward, I'll see you at lunch." I heard her kiss him goodbye, and walked to her class. A few moments later, Edward appeared. "Alice, I'm not staying in this class." I looked at him, and nodded. "I'm coming with you," I added. He looked at me for a moment, and was about to argue, but decided not to. I picked up my bag and followed him outside.
"She is not going to be alone in any of her classes," he said, walking to the office. Walking? Slow down Edward, you're going to fast. He slowed down his pace, but we were already in the office. Mrs. Loss was sitting at her desk, reading yet another romance novel not appropriate for school grounds when we came in. She looked at us in surprise, but kept it hidden pretty well. She marked the place in her book and put it in a drawer. "What a surprise to have you two here. Shouldn't you be in class?" I looked at the clock and it read 9:35 AM, classes were started. I nodded my head, but Edward beat me to it. "Yes Mrs. Loss, we should, but we wanted to know if we could both switch our English classes. Actually, I was wondering if I could change my entire schedule." Mrs. Loss looked at loss, but regained control. "Of course you can do so. It isn't that late into the semester. Alice, would you like to too?" I thought about it for a moment before I nodded my head. "Yes please." She nodded her head, and turned to the computer. "What classes would you like to switch Edward?" She wasn't even done asking him before he went listing the classes he wanted. "I'd like to have English with Mrs. South first period, open gym with Mrs. Gabe, my free period after lunch and I think I'll keep biology the same." He sounded like he was actually considering something else, but I knew better. "Alice, what would you like?" I thought about it for a moment, for real, and came up with an answer. "I'd like to have English with Mrs. South first period, keep my gym class the same, but take me out of chemistry and put French instead? So, free period after lunch as usual, but French last period." She looked confused, but she got it all.
"Okay, your schedules should be printed out in a moment." She looked at the printer and it whirled to life, spitting out 2 white pieces of paper. "Here are your classes, and just hand it to your teacher when you get there." I nodded, and said thank you when I took mine. Edward did the same, but he had urgency in his movements. We stepped out outside, and noticed the sky. It was about to snow. "Emmett will be happy," I muttered as I walked, walked? More like ran, to our English class. It seemed they were watching a movie. Edward looked at me for a moment, and I smiled—reassuring him. It's going to be fine Edward. She'll be happy to have us there. He nodded and with that, stepped into the class.
The whole class turned around, and I noticed they stared at us, surprised. The teacher was in shock, but regained control. "I think you're in the wrong class Alice, Edward." We shook our heads. She knew us, she thought us English in grade 9. We both passed the class with flying colours. I stepped up, and Bella looked at us surprised—happy, but surprised. "We switched into this class. I hope it isn't a problem." I took out my schedule, and Edward did the same, his eyes on Bella the entire time. She looked happy to see us, and lit up when she noticed we were staying. We are most definitely staying. She smiled at my thoughts and waved to us. I laughed and waved back, before turning to the teacher. "But… why? This work will be too easy for you both." I nodded my head, and Edward did the same, still looking at Bella. People in the class stared at us, shocked, but I didn't care. "We just need a change." She was reluctant to let us into the class, but agreed. "Okay, well, there are 2 empty seats at the back beside Isabella Swan," she pointed Bella out, and Edward was already half way there, "And, we're watching A Series of Unfortunate Events with Jim Carrey to compare this movie to books." I nodded, and turned around. But before I got to my seat, I had a vision… a amusing vision.
Bella's POV;
When Edward kissed me this morning, it felt so right, so wonderful; I didn't want it to end. But, all good things come to an end, and that kiss was not an exception. I sighed, thinking about it, when Edward squeezed my hand. We were in his car, driving to school, for school. Urgh, I hate school. "I don't want to go to school, I hate it." I muttered, and Edward laughed. I love his laugh. "Well, grade 12 is an important year you know." I laughed, and turned my head to look out the window. Even though we were just sitting next to each other in a car, driving to school, I didn't want it to end. Especially what was at the end of the car ride… School. "What are you thinking about?" Edward asked me, and I looked at him. He was looking at me, and he looked head-over-heels… with me. I laughed, and told him the truth. "I don't like school. Never have, never will." He laughed, a big laugh, and I laughed too. "Well, you'll get used to it. Believe me." I smiled, but looked back out the window. We were arriving in the school parking lot, and Edward went quiet. I gave him a peculiar look, and all he said was, "Alice is in my spot." I laughed, and saw Alice wave to me. I waved back, and she looked like she was about to burst.
They definitely are great together! I "heard" Alice say and I smiled. Edward smiled too, and I wanted the seatbelt off so I could jump on him—but I couldn't. Edward was parking the car, and plus, I didn't want to cause an accident. I was about to take off the stupid nuisance of a seatbelt when Alice opened the car door and jumped on me. "AH! I'm so happy for you two," she shrieked, while hugging me. I hugged her back and laughed. Alice is great! We were laughing with her on my lap, and I didn't care if anyone saw. I was content with life at the moment. I looked up and saw Edward waiting for Alice to move. I laughed some more and Alice got off. I was unbuckling the seat belt finally when I saw Edwards' hand held out for me. I smiled and took it, glad for his help. Alice interrupted this with a silly question. "How was the rest of your evening?" You already know! You knew before us! I gave her a look, and noticed Edward did the same. I wanted to laugh at the in sync ness of us, but decided against it. Alice noticed this and laughed. "Okay, fine. I just wanted to hear it from you," and grumbled jokingly.
I smiled, but then stopped in horror. Alice's thoughts did it to me of course. I was back to being her doll, and I wanted to groan out. At least she let's me pick my shoes! I smiled at that thought when Alice grabbed my arm. It felt like I was being pulled. Edward was holding onto my other hand, and I never wanted him to let go of it. I loved the feel of it in my hand—it felt wonderful. But, the bell rang, signaling for students to go to class. Is it that time already? NO! I didn't want to go to English. I was alone there, and I didn't want to go. Alice and Edward were in my original supposed to be class, but I switched it, for Elizabeth. I sighed, and walked with Edward to his class, but noticed my class was on the other side of the lawn. I turned to walk there, releasing Edwards' hand in the process, No! I don't want to leave you! But I knew I had to get to class; being late on the second day, yeah, that's smart. I rolled my eyes and was about to walk farther, but I noticed Edwards' hands holding mine.
"Where are you going?" His voice was filled with concern and sorrow so much, it broke my heart to hear him so sad, and I didn't want him to be. I smiled up at him, because I knew he loved it so, and stood on my toes, trying to reach his mouth—but he was still too tall for me. I reached a bit more, and I reached my goal. I was about to kiss him when I heard Alice laugh. I turned to stare at her, losing my height in the process, and was at my normal height again. She raised her hands up in surrender it seemed, and told us with a smile, "Fine, I'm going, but I'll see you in gym Bella." I smiled at her, remembering she was in my gym class. Yes! She walked into her English class, with her packsack behind her back, gracefully, of course.
I turned back to Edward and saw him staring at me with hurt on his face. Don't be hurt Edward! "Aren't you going to English?" he asked, speaking slowly. I let out a sigh but laughed. "Well, I am," I said slowly, watching his face, seeing hope flash across it, "I'm just going to my English class. Edward, remember, I'm not in your class?" I searched his face, and he remembered. I knew he did, because he swore too fast for me to comprehend what he said. His face was full of regret and then determination. "Well, I don't want you to be alone," he said slowly. I had to laugh at that, even though I wanted to same thing. Don't leave me Edward. Not ever. "It's okay, but Edward, I'll see you at lunch." I reached up again and kissed his lips. After 30 years without him, I didn't want to separate, but I knew I had to go to class. I finished my kiss and walked to my class. I wish he was in here.
I wasn't the last person in the class, and took my seat. There were 6 people away, and Elizabeth Paz was one of them. At least she is learning to her ability. I smiled at that thought, happy I did a good deed. I put my head to the desk and blocked out the thoughts of the people around me. Sometimes this talent is really a drag. Even though I was feeling down, I was still happy. Edward was with me again, and I had my family back. I smiled at that thought and listened to the teacher talk about the movie. I've never seen it before, and it seemed interesting enough. Nor have I read the books. I sighed, and realized I've never read a book in a long time.
Just as the movie was starting, I smelt the smell I forever loved. Edward's scent. Alice's scent was with him, but it didn't register after that. Edward's smell was too powerful, even to me, as a vampire. Why aren't they in class? They were running towards the English class, and then slowed down at the door. There was hesitation, but I heard Alice's thoughts: It's going to be fine Edward. She'll be happy to have us there. Does that mean they're coming in? I wanted to run to the door and run to Edward, but I knew I couldn't, I had to control myself. Just as I was contemplating weather to do so or not, Edward walking into the class.
He was truly beautiful. My memory did not give him justice. He looked at me the moment he walked in, and I smiled. I didn't notice the class went quiet when they came in. I didn't notice the teachers shocked expression… I noticed Alice behind him and I smiled even more. I was surprised to see them there, but I didn't care at the moment. I wasn't alone now. I moved my eyes back to Edward willingly, and he was looking at me. I smiled at him some more and turned the attention to the teacher. Edward didn't faze.
"We switched into this class. I hope it isn't a problem," Alice was talking to the teacher, while Edward, was looking at me. Alice took out her schedule from her jacket pocket, and Edward did too, absentmindedly. A couple of students followed his topaz gaze, and noticed he was staring at me. Oh no, Edward stop staring at me! I did not like the attention. I hated attention. Well, at least they're staying… Aren't they? Mrs. South looked like she wanted to kick them right back to the other class, but kept it in. Alice's thought is what reassured me; we are most definitely staying. I smiled at that and waved to Alice. She waved back, her small hand barely visible before turning back around. I looked back at Edward and zoned out the teacher. He was staring at me, doing the same, but listened to the teacher for a moment, before walking towards me. He was already half way there before Alice started to walk, I noticed, and I wanted to laugh.
When Edward sat down next to me, I wanted to sit on his lap, literally. I wasn't close enough to him. I didn't want to be away from him. "What are you doing here?" I asked quietly while the teacher turned the move back on. He looked at me for a moment, and I couldn't breathe. Good thing I'm not human anymore. "I switched my schedule to match yours," he finally said, staring at me. I was happy. I couldn't control it, and I did what I wanted to do. I jumped on him, and hugged him. He was surprised, I could see that, and Alice was trying not to laugh out loud. Bella! You're so silly. But… Mrs. South is going to be kind of angry at you. She wanted to read. I ignored her, and hugged Edward with too much enthusiasm. "I'm glad you did so," I whispered quietly, before kissing him. It wasn't the kiss we had earlier that morning, or the kisses I gave him outside… This kiss was full of passion, the passion that was there for 30 years. I wasn't aware of the hoots people were giving, and neither was Edward. Alice was trying not to laugh, and I didn't notice that. All I noticed was Edward's tongue in my mouth, with my tongue, devouring each other.
After it seemed like a minute, I let go of him reluctantly, and looked around the class. People were starring at me open mouthed, astounded, some surprised, and some jealous. But Mrs. South's face was different. She was angry. Uh oh. I looked at Alice and she was looking at me, trying not to laugh. Nice Bella. I think you might get a detention. Too many plans are going through her head… although she will take you outside. I sighed, and looked back at Mrs. South. She regained her posture, and walked towards the back of the class, towards me. Edward was holding onto my hand, but I didn't notice.
"Isabella Swan, please come with me outside for a moment," was all she said, and I nodded guilty. I unenthusiastically let go of Edwards' hand and followed her outside into the snow before she stopped. "Isabella, at your old school, was it okay to jump on students and… attack them with your body in a classroom?" I looked at her, and her face was red—with anger. What she did was wrong. I thought she was good student. I stopped listening to her thoughts then and answered her question. "No, Mrs. South, it wasn't okay." I made sure my voice sounded sorry, but all I wanted to do was be with Edward again—in his arms. But she wouldn't let me go that easy, I knew she wouldn't. Ha. I wonder how Edward's feeling… "Miss. Swan, look at me," her voice was angered. I looked at her, and noticed she was angry. "You are not to sit by Mr. Cullen for the rest of time in this class," she finally said, her voice even. I'd never let her sit beside him again if there is a chance she's going to act like that.
I stared at her in horror, the only thing I can do. "What? I can't sit beside him?" My voice was even, but inside I was screaming. She looked over me for a moment, and nodded her head. "You are to sit on the other side Ms. Cullen. I'm allowing you to sit at the back, but Alice will always be between you. If I see anything, and I mean anything happen between you two during my class, I will move you to the front." Her voice was crisp and angry… and she was serious. She could've just given me a detention, but she gave me a punishment that was worse, not being able to sit beside Edward, my Edward.
Edward's POV;
I wasn't expecting Bella to jump on me and hug me, and I was definitely not expecting her to kiss me… especially the kind of kiss she had given me. It was full of raw passion, and I was surprised at first, but I kissed her right back, giving her the same amount of passion. I was oblivious to the thoughts around me, and all I could say was when she ended it, I was disappointed. I could tell she was reluctant to get off of me, but I wouldn't let go of her hand. I looked around the class, and noticed Mrs. South staring at Bella with too much anger. Oh no. I looked at Alice with panic, and she noticed me, but looked at Bella. They were having a conversation. All I heard was that Bella would be taken outside.
Isabella Swan, please come with me outside for a moment," Mrs. South asked her. Bella was nervous, I could tell. I squeezed her hand in reassurance, and she squeezed back before letting go. She was following Mrs. South out of the class and shut the door. Once the door was closed, the talking started. I didn't want to hear them talking, I wanted to listen to the conversation outside. Alice was looking at me and she caught my eye. "Edward, it won't be bad. Don't worry." I nodded my head, but I was rigid. Bella was getting in trouble. She's not supposed to get in trouble. I turned my head towards the door and I heard Bella talking, her voice filled with her sorry. "What? I can't sit beside him?" What? She can't sit beside me? I looked at Alice and she ignored my eyes, and just looked at the door too. I returned to the conversation, and I knew English was not going to be good. "You are to sit on the other side of Ms. Cullen. I'm allowing you to sit at the back, but Alice will always be between you. If I see anything, and I mean anything happen between you two during my class, I will move you to the front." She was angry, and I knew not to cross her.
I looked at Alice and she shrugged her shoulders. It could be worse. I sighed and leaned back in the chair, knowing it would be. I looked around the class, and people were staring at Alice and me… especially me. Their thoughts were inexpiable, especially the male population of the class, that I wanted to rip the eyes off of them for even thinking about Bella that way. Just as I was about to jump up in anger, Alice touched my arm. I turned my head to her, and she shook her head. We can go home after this Edward; we don't have to stay here. I nodded my head, still angered.
But that anger disappeared when I saw Bella walk through the door. She was embarrassed, and furious. She didn't even look at Mrs. South when she took her seat. "Alice, Edward, can you please switch seats please?" Damn teenagers and hormones. She didn't even wait for Alice and I to switch seats before she walked to the front of the class. I blocked her out. Alice stood up, and I did the same. Bella wasn't looking at either of us when we stood up. She was staring at the black board, furious. Alice and I switched seats, and Alice took Bella's hand. Bella didn't bother to pull it away; she just let it lay still. "It's okay Bella. We don't have to go to gym if you don't want too. Edward and I both agreed we could go home," she said. Bella looked at Alice, and then moved her gaze to me. It was full of embarrassment, love, and anger. She nodded before looking away. "I'd like that, thank you."
She didn't say anything for the rest of the class, and Mrs. South kept on looking at us. I wanted to snarl at her, but Alice put her hand on my arm again. "It's okay, it'll be fine." I nodded, but looked at the black board too, not paying attention to the movie. All I noticed was that Jim Carrey overplayed his part.
When I looked at the clock on the wall, I noticed we only had a minute left. Alice was already getting her bag ready, and Bella had her packsack on her shoulder. I was the only one not ready. I put all my stuff in my bag, and on my shoulder before the bell rang. Bella was the first one up, walking out of the room very fast. I was second, catching up to Bella, and Alice was behind me. Half way across the lawn, an obnoxious looking boy stepped out in front of Bella. She looked up, anger in her face. I was on her right side, holding her hand, and Alice was on the other side, holding her packsack, and avoiding snow piles. "So, I heard you kissed him," he pointed to me. I was about to snarl but Bella beat me to it. She let out a growl, "Yes, so?" He seemed oblivious to the fact I was beside her. "Well, I was wondering… Would you kiss me?" He looked at me then and saw the anger on my face. Alice noticed too, and grabbed him. "Why don't you leave the seniors alone Brad? Come with me now." Bella and I stared at him with rage as he walked with Alice to her car. Bella stared at him for moment and then looked at me… and smiled. It warmed me up right away.
"Nice anger you have Edward," her voice was playful. I smiled at her, and she laughed. "I guess having the whole sharing emotions thing is not very good. One of us should be able to tell obnoxious boys I'm not available without violence." She was laughing now, and I let out a laugh. Of course, it was my anger getting her angry. She saw my face and laughed. "Let's go, I don't want to be here." I nodded my head and agreement and walked along side her, holding her hand, feeling wonderful, when we walked to the car. She stepped into the passenger side and got in. I got in the driver's side and noticed Jasper's car already gone. Bella noticed too. "I guess she wants to see Jasper," was her theory. I nodded again. How does she know Brad? As we drove, Bella turned on the radio.
"I don't listen to music that much anymore," she said quietly. Even though her voice was quiet, it was full of pain. I looked at her and then put my hand to her hair, moving it from her face. "Neither do I." She turned to look at me, and we both were enveloped into pain—shared pain. Because we were feeling the same emotion, it was double the pain--emotional pain. Bella let out a gasp, and pushed my hand away. No! Not again. Bella turned her head to the window and was sobbing quietly—tearless sobs. "I don't like the pain Edward, I don't." Her voice cracked halfway through and I knew I needed to comfort her. I pulled the car to the side of the road and motioned for her to come over to me. She did so.
"Bella, it's okay. It'll get better. Just remember, I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens." I soothed her, letting my breath go over her face. This would've made her stop breathing as a human, but now, it calmed her down. "Thanks Edward." She leaned her head to my chest and hugged me. I loved the feeling of her, and I knew if I lost this again, I wouldn't be able to survive, so I hugged her back. "I love you Isabella Marie Swan." She looked up at me and smiled. "I love you Edward Anthony Cullen." Her breath was delightful, and I went in to kiss her again.
She responded by kissing me back, and then laughed. "Let's go home now." I agreed, but didn't let her go, my arms still around her. "Let go of me now Edward!" her voice was playful and I leaned in to kiss her again. She gave me a peck on the cheek instead and moved slowly out of my arms. I leaned into her and kissed her forehead. "You're lovely," I whispered, wanting to show her how much I truly loved her… and then I knew what I was going to do. I was going to ask her to marry me. Just like in Alice's vision. Bella leaned in and kissed me on the neck, sending excitement coursing through my entire body, "And you're handsome." She laughed, her laugh vibrating through my neck. "But you're so much more then handsome, don't forget that." She pulled away then, and then whispered, "Let's go home now." I nodded, and I knew what I was going to do tonight.
I restarted the car, holding onto Bella's hand, and drove fast to the house. She held onto my hand, and was in silent thinking the entire way. As we reached the house, I slowed down. I could tell Alice was already home. As I parked the car in the garage, Bella jumped out. I stared at her and she laughed. "You're a slow driver, did you know that?" She laughed at me, and stuck out her tongue. I stared at her for a moment in disbelief. I'm a slow driver? "You used to think 60 was too fast," I told her, and laughed. She was shocked for a moment, but then came close.
"Edward, darling," she made the darling sound funny, "I'm going to hide in the house and you're going to have to find me. Be warned, I'm good at this game." I thought she was joking, seriously. "But you know, your smell is forever with me. As soon as I smell you, I'll know where you are." I pointed out the obvious, but she didn't seem fazed, she actually seemed she was holding in laughter. "Okay, but give me a second, to you know, hide." She ran from the garage, but was back a second later. She smiled my favorite smile, and laughed. "I need a kiss to last me awhile," as she said that, she jumped up to kiss me on lips, landing on my body. I automatically held her, but she jumped back down. "Game begins! Oh, and no cheating. Alice will see it, you know." She laughed and ran ahead, but paused. "I love you!" She ran off.
I was in a daze for a moment before I realized what I had to do. I ran through the garage, avoiding Rosalie's car when Bella's scent disappeared. Huh? What's happening?
Oh! Well, not much angst in this chapter! AH! Edward is going to propose to Bella, but we all knew that, since Alice had that vision in one of the earlier chapters. Ha, well the next chapter is about Edward trying to find Bella... and if you're confused to why he can't smell her... It's because of the other power Bella has... You know, masking her smell. :) Well, I'll try and post later today, or tomorrow... Maybe I'll even write another chapter after this!
P.s: Sorry if spelling mistakes or whatever come up. : And Brad, has a important part later on in the storyline... So does Elizabeth actually, so stay tuned.
Review please? They make me happy. :)
