The Forbidden Love
Iris Swan is the younger sister to Bella, they move to forks to be with their father but things take an unexpected turn when Edward Cullen enters their life.
Edward Cullen spent most of his days in a fog, the days blended together and he feels frozen in time, until the Swan sisters move to town, now his life is full of light and colour, he feels so alive again, he assumed it was to do with his singer, Bella. He thought that she was his, but if so, why does his soul cry out for another?
Hey all, my laptop broke so here I am typing this on my phone, just another story that has popped into my head, writing it for fun and I hope you enjoy! The chapters will be flickering between Iris and Edwards pov, as I have stated, I am not the best writer but its something I want to do, even just to make one person smile.
CHAPTER ONE
My name is Iris Swan, I turned sixteen last month and today I am sitting and fidgeting in excitement and anxiousness. Me and my older sister Bella start at forks high, as much as Bell's was dreading it, I was looking forward to it, I loved change, new places and making new friends, I lived for it. Bella was the complete opposite to me, she hated any kind of attention, she hated change and she was a recluse who hated interacting with new people.
"Will you please sit still Iris?!" My sister's angry outburst made me freeze for a second before I start fidgeting again.
"Why? I am just excited Bell's, fresh start and all that jazz. Hurry up, I want to get there soon you know!" My sister throws me a dirty look but it didn't faze me. Fucking stuck-up prude if you asked me.
Silence surrounds us in the truck, it made me feel more uncomfortable then normal, I hate silence, she wasn't even playing music, it made the atmosphere dull and tense. No more was said for the rest of the ride, so I decided to enjoy the view outside the truck, scrutinising my surroundings, the thick and dense forest, the dark green of the moss and leafs, it was a truly an alluring and captivating sight to me.
My Hazel eyes light up as the high school comes into view, before the older teen even finished pulling in to the parking lot, waiting until she slowed down enough, I flung the door wide open, grabbing my bag and spring out of the chevy, ready to face a new school.
I didn't even take a peep behind me at my sister as I made a beeline for the entrance, this is where we part company, it was always the same. At home we were your average siblings, we bickered, we fought, we spoke about mundane things but at school we was invisible to the other and we where both happy with those arrangements .
Swiftly making my way down the hallway, I was in a hurry to get my class schedule and I wasn't actually taking much notice of who was around me, so it was inevitable when I ran into a exceedingly strong wall, I would have landed flat on my arse if it wasn't for the walls cold hands grabbing my arms, stopping me from falling... wait, since when did walls grow hands? Alarmed I slyly peer up under my thick lashes and my eyes instantly connect with bright golden coloured eyes, my breath leaves me in a swoosh, a sledgehammer could have cracked me around my head and i still wouldn't be able to tear my gaze away, we are both stood, frozen, the only sound around us is my heavy breathing.
He has got to be the most ravishing creature I had ever laid eyes on, his bronzed spiked coloured hair, the pale almost translucent skin, his utterly voluptuous lips, my heart was galloping behind my rib cage and were his hands gently cradled my arms, all I could feel was electric shocks at the contact and pure heat radiating from his skin touching my bare arms, his eyes flicker down to my lips and on instinct I run my tongue along my bottom lip seductively, the gold eyes zero in on the small movement and he copies my action.
Lust bludgeons me like a freight train, my knees abruptly turn weak and I thank God the boy was still holding me up, because if he wasn't, I was sure I would be melting into a puddle at his feet. I feel his left hand slowly glide up my arm and my shoulder, coming to rest at the slight dip of my collarbone.
We were both caught in a stupor, under some kind of spell, I couldn't move and I don't think he could ether. His head leisurely inclines towards me and all I could think about was kissing him, right here and right now. I wanted it with every fibre of my being, the closer he got the more I wanted it, by the time his lips was nothing but a breath away I was desperate, he paused, I could feel the heat from his mouth, feel his breath mingling with mine, we still haven't broken eye contact and I know my eyes would be begging him to close the last inch between us, he looks indecisive for a couple of seconds and I notice the moment he made his mind up, his golden eyes darken in his hunger.
After what felt like an eternity, he finally closes the last remaining distance between us and the moment his lips touches mine, a bright burning fire explodes through out my body, this wasn't like the stories you hear or read about.
You know when a couple have their first kiss and it's all stars and fireworks, no this was utterly different, it was more, it was blinding, startling, accelerating and most of all it was electrifying, hot and terrifying all at once.
Breaking the kiss, I desperately try to fill my lungs with much needed air, on the first lungful of air, he spins me around, my back crashing against the wall, on the second lungful, his plump and soft lips are back on mine, a deep moan escapes me as I feel a growl ripple through him.
His hard and cold body pressing up against me, I can feel him everywhere and I can't seem to get enough of him, my arms skim along his arms, up around his neck and i plunge my fingers deep into his soft bronzed hair, his strong muscled arms where beside my head, palms resting against the wall, enclosing me between the wall and his body, shielding me from prying eyes, his tongue flicks out against my lips left me no choice but to open and accept him inside, I can not help but let out a moan as his fresh minty taste hits my tongue and a taste that was uniquely him. I couldn't get enough of it and the taste could easily become an addiction.
We are in no rush, he takes sweet and gentle time exploring me, tasting me. It felt like heaven, I couldn't think straight, all I could think and feel was him, the boy with the strange and beautiful golden eyes, beautiful hair and Adonis body.
"Iris!" my name being shouted startles me enough to pull away from him, he looks at me with a knowing smirk and I could feel my face heating up and this time it wasn't from the lust I could feel still thrumming through my veins.
"Iris, come on. We are going to be late!" A hand is on my shoulder, shaking me violently, glancing down I couldn't see anything and no one was around me apart from the Adonis, confused I chance another look around and in the deserted hallway it was just me and him.
It was when cold water hit me that I move, shooting up I gasp and try to take huge gulps of air in as I look around me in a state of shock, I'm not in school, I'm not in a hallway with the god like boy, no I'm back home, in my bedroom. Bella is standing at the end of my bed with a cat that caught the cream look on her face and an empty glass in her hand.
It took my brain a couple of seconds to realise it was a dream, and that in said dream I was kissing Edward, my heart thumps incredibly hard in my chest as the images from the kiss flashes in my head, it wasn't real, none of it, it never has been, Edward was my friend, my best friend and he was also my sisters boyfriend, at that thought I feel a sharp zapping pain in my chest, it felt kind of surreal, why? Why am I feeling like this? Edward had been Bella's from the start, and I have never felt any attraction towards him before now, sure I always appreciate his good looks but we are just friends.
So why did the thought of him and Bella make me want to vomit? Why did I want to violently and suddenly beat the shit out of Bella and scream at her that he was mine? My brain felt so foggy and I couldn't string a thought together, trying to slow my breathing and heart rate down, I didn't want my sister to catch on to something being wrong, I would never be able to explain the dream I just had, I wouldn't know where to start.
And if I thought things couldn't get worse, I was wrong, so wrong. "Good morning sunshine." My Hazel eyes snap towards the doorway where Edward stood, he is leaning against the doorframe with his shoulder, his legs crossed as he smiles at me.
Gold and Hazel eyes clash and instantly I was taken back to my dream, I could still feel his tongue dancing playfully with mine, his hard body flush against my body, my heart stuttered and my breathing became more shallow as I tried to desperately to separate dream from reality, Edward must have picked up on the slight changes to my heart rate and breathing because his face went from a cheeky smile to confused, I could see the question behind his eyes as he gazed at me but I couldn't bare looking at him anymore, sliding my eyes away I look at my hands that are resting in my lap, my fingers twirling together, a habit I picked up on when I'm nervous.
Closing my eyes, I slowly calm myself down. "It was a dream Iris, just a dream". I murmur this to myself softly.
Thinking more rationally now, it hit me that my sister actually threw water over me, I turn a deathly glare on her, my dream momentarily forgotten, she was still smirking at me in that pleased way of hers and I badly wanted to smack it right off her face.
"What the fuck Bella? Water, really?"
Her brown eyes are dancing with mirth as she backs away from the bed, good she knows she just poked the lioness and there would be repercussions.
"You wouldn't wake up baby sis, and we are going to be late for school."
"And that was the only way you could think to fucking wake me up?" My voice coloured with disbelief as I stared at her in shock.
"It was affective, wasn't it?" The giggle at the end is what done it for me, fast as lightening I jump out of bed, revenge the only thing on my mind, until Edward was in front of me, barely blocking Bella from view, he too had a smirk on his face.
"Now come on sunshine, time to get ready for school, revenge can be for another time." I couldn't help my reaction, the fact he was standing so close to me after that vivid dream, I leap away from him like I had been electrocuted, I was desperately trying to put as much space between us as I could and again, his face falls into confusion, as I said before, we are best friends, we bantered, we flirted, we hugged, we talked about everything, he called me sunshine and I called him moonlight, because I loved my mornings, I have always been a morning person, he once told me the reason he called me sunshine is because my personality reminded him of just that, that I could light up the darkest of rooms.
He was my moonlight because when the moon shone high, he was at his calmest, he told me he felt more comfortable when the moon shone high in the sky, it bought him peace and tranquillity, the world became beautiful to him, you saw another side to the planet when the stars twinkled above you and the glow of the moon reflected off the surfaces of the trees, water and land, this may sound a bit soppy but Edwards seemed to radiate light and warmth at night too, became more approachable.
I couldn't look him in the eyes, I couldn't even get my words out straight ether.
"Ye... yeah I... ermm... I will meet you in the car!" My face was flushing in embarrassment, I am mortified that I'm stuttering around him like a love sick teenager, words from many months ago flitter through my head.
"One of the reasons you are my best friend sunshine, is because you have never reacted to me like all other girls or even women do."
I slyly glance at him. "oh my moonlight, what about my lovely dear sister? Ah that's right, she was swooning just as much as the rest of them!" I giggled just remembering what my sister was like back then. Giving me a soft push, and a smirk gracing his beautiful face before he lent over to whisper In my ear.
"Well then sunshine, its a good thing your dear sisters swooning turned into love." I made a fake gagging sound with a mock disgusted face, Edward laughed before slinging his arm about my shoulder and used his free hand to tickle me into hysteria.
"Iris, are you okay?" slamming back into the present, Edwards concerned face in front of me, I decide I need to get my head out of my arse, he was correct, I had never swooned over him and I don't plan to start now, dream or no dream.
"Moonlight, I'm fine, I had a rough nights sleep that's all, now shoo, I need to get dressed and I can't do that with you and Bell's standing there watching my every move now can I?"
A mischievous feeling washes over me, time for a bit of pay back. I plaster a sultry look onto my face, dropping my voice in to a very sexy slur.
"Unless you want to see what a real woman looks like Eddie." And it had the affect I wanted, behind Edward I see Bella's face flame red, Eddie is looking everywhere but at me and I was pretty sure if he could blush, he would be as red as Bella.
Shaking his head disapprovingly at me, he begins backing away, I still caught the small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Your incorrigible sunshine, now get a move on, before I have to come over there and dress you myself."
"Promises promises darling." I say with a wink and then it was just me, standing alone in my room.
I close my eyes and take a big breath of air, I put the dream to the back of my mind, I head towards the bathroom, once I have showered, I wrap my towel around me before heading back to my room, walking down the hallway, Goosebumps prickle my skin, the hair on the back of my neck and arms stand on end, I pause and take a quick glance around, I was on my own.
It felt like someone was watching me, it must be my imagination, shrugging the feeling off I continue towards my room, it didn't take long before I quickly blow dried and straightened my dark brown hair, it wasn't long, just hanging below my shoulders, I had bangs and I thought they suited me pretty well, quickly dressing into Jean shorts, a white tank top and my flats, I put a dab of lip gloss, eye liner and mascara on, taking one final look In the mirror, I couldn't help but compare myself to my sister, I didn't really resemble Bella in anyway, I stood at 5 ft 3, slim waste, I had sparkling Hazel eyes, a small button nose, heart shaped lips, high cheekbones, soft jawline, I resembled my mum more then Charlie.
Grabbing my handbag, phone and keys I hustle down the stairs and out the door, I skip breakfast like most days, unsurprisingly Edward was waiting for me, it wasn't raining or cold but still pretty cloudy, the perfect day for forks.
Resting against his car, my sister was already seated in the passenger side, once again Edward looked at me disapprovingly, he hated the fact I skip breakfast, I just cheekily smiled at him, we had many disagreements in the past, he never won and so he gave up trying to nag me into eating so early.
He opens the door to the back seat for me, always such a gentleman, I smile in thanks as I hop in and buckle up.
Not much was said, I was in my own little world, trying and failing to keep that dream out of my head, thank the lord Edward couldn't read my thoughts! I know it frustrated him he couldn't hear me or Bella, I am also thankful she was his only singer, apparently I had the opposite affect, where Bella's blood made him want to go on a rampage, mine always seemed to have a calming affect, Edward sheepishly admitted to me once that I was the only reason he could adapt to being around Bell's so fast.
"Oh by the way Iris, I am going to La push to spend some time with Jacob after school, i take it you will be going to Edwards?."
I nod my head in agreement, remaining silent as dread filled my stomach, normally on the days she visited Jacob, I always go to the Cullen's after school, hang out with them, playing games and having jokes, Esme cooks up a storm of a meal before I eat and Edward drives me home, the idea of being alone, in a car with Edward made my body hyper aware, I push any thoughts about it away and try to ignore it, it was the best course of action, no need to stir trouble up when there were none, right?
School flew by in a blur, I couldn't tell you what had happened, what the lessons where about, nothing. All that was running around in my mind, is being alone with Edward, by the time the final bell rang out, my body was slightly trembling from the amount of emotions running through me, this had to stop, for the 100th time that day I had to remind myself it was a dream, that Edward loved Bella and Bella loved Edward.
Slowly walking to the parking lot, Edward was again, already waiting for me by his car, a dejected look on his face as he watches Bella and Jacob, I turn my gaze to them and my eyes turn cold.
I hated Jacob, but I hated Bella more for hurting Edward in this way, I know it hurt him more and more every time she left to spend time with her "friend" Jacob. We watch them as Jacob takes her in for a hug, he kisses her on the cheek before helping her put a helmet on, my sister climes onto the back of the bike, she doesn't even look back at Edward as they speed out of the parking lot.
I really couldn't understand how Edward could put up with their behaviour, until I look back at him, he loves her, it's clearly written on his face along with the hurt and I realise that's why he can handle it.
I take a much-needed deep breath and make my way over to him, his golden eyes land on me and the most gorgeous smile lights up his face, all the hurt seemingly disappears, he didn't wait for me to get to him, he rushes over to me, casually resting his arm on my shoulders, just like he has done many times before hand.
For the very first time, as his arm touches me, the same feelings from my dream erupt like a volcano inside of me, the electric shock waves, the heat radiating from his touch. I don't think I am the only one to feel it ether because as I stumble over my feet a little, Edward stops moving altogether, I hold my breath, refusing to look at him, I can feel his eyes on me, when I show no response to him, he thankfully continues moving us towards his Volvo.
It seems pretty tense between us, no words are muttered as he helps me into the passenger seat, by the time I have buckled my seat belt , Edward was in the driver seat and already pulling out of the school parking lot. In a daze I look out the window, the air in the car filled with tension, it felt so thick you could cut it with a knife, I could feel his golden eyes boring into me, his dark golden gaze feeling like a caress on my skin, I was a chicken, I refused to look at him, afraid of what I would find if I did.
Edward must have sensed something was off, we would normally be chatting away together, gossiping about the pupil's of forks high, but all we had was silence to keep us company on the drive to his house.
The moment the car come to a stop, I bolt out and head straight to the house, just before I could reach the front door, his finger tips catch my wrist, pulling me to a stop, my heart took up speed and I found his shoes very fascinating.
"Sunshine, tell me what's wrong? You have been off with me all day; did I do something to upset you?" The words are whispered softly, a tinge of hurt to his normally smooth and gentle voice.
Shaking my head with a negative response, I continue to look at his shoes, I wasn't brave enough to look him in the eyes and lie, but Edward wasn't having any of it. His cold finger tips grazed my chin, forcing my head up and forcing me to look at him. Just like my dream we become frozen, I couldn't decipher the emotions behind his eyes, but my body naturally responded to him, I had an overwhelming urge to plaster my body to his, and a startling realisation occurs to me that I want to kiss him.
I want him to make me feel like I did in my dream, I wondered what his actual tongue would feel like playing with mine. He must have seen something on my face because he let go of me quickly and took two huge steps away from me, I felt overwhelmingly crushed, I spin away from him, hoping to hide how much his small rejection hurt.
I swiftly make my way through the front doors and head straight for the living room, as per usual Jasper and Emmet are sitting side by side on their sofa playing some racing game, I observe them for a minute and a small smile graces my lips, they would forever be the same, always bickering and playfully shoving each other over a game. I don't think twice as I break out into a war cry and launch myself over the back of the sofa onto their backs, they both swear viciously at the surprise attack... how you surprise a vampire is beyond my understanding but I found it hilarious all the same.
"Oi mini, get your fat arse of off me!" My eyes narrow at Em bears words; oh, I have a fat arse, do I? Catching him by surprise, I slip into his lap and straddle him.
"But Emmy bear, you make such a comfy seat." I try to keep my face neutral and my voice as innocent as it could be.
His sitting still as a statue, staring at me, its not every day he finds his lap full of a human Iris. That didn't last long, his face turns from one of shock to naughty in a second.
"I don't care if I'm comfy mini, just be careful, I have precious extremities and my rosy would be most displeased If your fat arse damages the goods."
I couldn't help the victorious grin that crosses my face, he walked right into it!
"I'm a bit confused, from what I am feeling, there doesn't seem to be any goods available." Emmet is stunned at my comeback, he looks mortified and I feel laughter bubbling up, when he makes a wounded pitiful sound, I lose what restraint I have and burst into laughter, Jasper who was sitting beside us, watching the whole interaction can't restrain his laughter ether, we laugh uproariously together, I hear a beautiful tinkling laugh join us, I look towards the doorway where Rosalie stands, she winks at me and it makes me laugh all the harder, tear's of joy are streaming down my face, I'm doubled over on his lap, holding my stomach.
"You to Rosalie? How could you? Your meant to be on my side, you know your devilishly good-looking husband?"
"Devilishly good-looking husband? Where did you get that idea from my monkey man?" Her eye brows raise as she gives her husband a cocky smile.
"Right, that's it! I'm done with all of you, first my friend and now my wife, you both break my undead heart." He gently pushes me off him and into Jasper's waiting arms, Em bear crosses his arms like a petulant child, his bottom lip pouts and it makes us laugh louder, rosy smirks and walks away.
Once the laughing dwindles, I turn my attention to the man who's arms are currently wrapped around me, his already looking at me with a questioning look, I can tell immediately he knows something is off with me, he doesn't need to feel my emotions to know, his one of my other best friends after all and can read me like an open book.
As much as I get along with Alice and surprisingly Rosalie, Jasper, Emmet and Edward had become my very best friends, whenever I came for a visit, majority of the time you found us all huddled together, playing some kind of games, having a chat or bantering like kids.
Jasper pulls me in closer, giving some much-needed comfort and I relax into his arms, resting my head softly on his chest as my mind race's over today's events, I have never been more glad in my life that Jasper could hold me as he was now, it was the brotherly comfort I needed.
I found it shocking as much as the rest of the Cullen's when Jasper first begun hugging me, as he struggles the most with his thirst, the coven of vampires never thought they would see the day their newest member of the family would hug a human.
When the Cullen's first sat us down and explained about them being vampires, and the gifts they hold, they also let slip that I was different to Bella in the sense that, Edward couldn't read my mind, Jasper couldn't feel or control my emotions and Alice couldn't see visions of me, Jazzie had admitted to me, the reason he could be around me so often, that he could hold me and befriend me, is the fact he loved how calm I felt around him, he also told me my blood doesn't affect him like everyone else's, I smelt like comfort and home to him, and the other Cullen's agreed with him, they had never stumbled across a human like me before apparently, I never put much thought into it, I loved the fact they enjoyed being around me for me, not for any other motives, like wanting to eat me.
Jasper strokes my hair, resting his large hand on my head, I knew Jazzie and Emmy bear were communicating, speaking to fast for me to understand but I didn't care, I just wanted to curl up with my buddies and forget today ever happened.
"Hey mini, what's got your knickers in a twist today?"
I turn myself around in Jasper's arms so I could face Em bear, his facial features now softening as he saw the confused and sad look on my face, the playful banter from seconds ago evaporated.
"I had a dream last night, I don't want to go into details Em bear, I want to forget it happened, its been on my mind all day and I... I hate how it is affecting the way I think." Tear's well up in my eyes, I know things are going to change, that my friendship with Edward are going to change, I couldn't grasp exactly why but a gut feeling was telling me and I was terrified, I didn't want to lose any of them, when they disappeared a few months back, Bella was broken and I was hurt, it killed me to not have my secondary family around me, I could not face losing them in that way again.
Stealing me from Jazzie, Em bear holds me tight, rubbing my back with soothing touches, I feel myself begin to relax. After a time, I pull out of his arms and resituate myself between the two boys.
"Alright boys, the time for feeling sorry for myself is over, how about a movie?" Jasper and Emmet groan in misery together, the biggest grin splits my face.
"Let me guess, a horror?" I pretend to look horrified at the suggestion.
"Me? Watch a horror movie? Never!" I exclaim loudly, causing all three of us to burst into laughter again.
"Remember the last time we watched a horror film Jasper? Mini here fell asleep and Bella ended up losing her dinner half way through, what was the film called again?"
I jump in before Jasper can respond. "Saw two, it isn't my fault, you were just so snuggly Em bear, and I was tired from the shopping spree Alice took us on, and it isn't my fault Bell's has a weak stomach."
Gaining a look of disgust from Em, I again couldn't help the snicker as I remembered waking up to see a room full of vampires, all with horrified looks and a severely pale Bella.
"Mini, it wasn't the fact Bella had a weak stomach, I'm pretty damn sure I felt nauseated when she fell into a pit of needles, and I am a vampire, I can't feel nauseated, the idea of falling into a pit of needles is terrifying mini."
"Well then Em, maybe you shouldn't be such a pussy ether then."
An angry gasp was all the warning I got before I was forcefully pinned down gently, he took to viciously tickling me, peals of laughter is all that could be heard through out the house, I couldn't catch my breath as I could feel his finger tips dancing along my stomach, I needed to distract him, thinking fast I quickly lent up, and give him a soundless kiss on the lips, it was just a very quick peck but it done the trick, in shock he releases me, before he could react I spring away from him, giggling to myself as I put distance between us.
"hey Iris!" the pixie vampire comes bounding in, at human speed she makes her way over to us, she has a spring in her step and the smile she had was blinding. Grabbing my arm, she tugs me out of the room. "It is time for dress up Iris." I look behind me, at my supposedly best friends, begging them for help, Jasper just waves goodbye and Emmet bellows out a laugh at my expense, his laughter echoing behind me as the little pixie pulls me behind her up the stairs, I sigh in defeat, this was going to be painful.
Alice pushes me into the bathroom next to Edwards bedroom, I'm confused, as we normally head straight to her bedroom to play dress up. She looks devious as she turns to lock the bathroom door, putting a finger to her lips to tell me not to talk, she silently walks over to the sink, opens the door and pulls out a bag, it takes me a second or two to realise what she's holding and I fill with glee.
For she is holding a bag of water balloons and my body vibrates in excitement, this was going to be so fun!
We try to hide our manic laughter as we begin filling the balloons, we had spoken of this prank many times, I had the satisfaction knowing what was about to occur. Once the sink is filled with balloons, Alice magically pulls a bucket out of thin air, and we transfer the balloons into the bucket, we unlock the door and sneakily and quietly make our way back down stairs.
We could hear the boys still arguing over the game, Alice gently places the bucket by the entrance to the living room, poking our heads around, Em and Jasper are sitting playing the game, we a surprised to find both Edward and Carlisle were too sitting in the room, my heart tries to flutter at the sight of Edward who is calmly sitting in the armchair reading a book, but I viciously stamp down the feelings, this was not the time for that nonsense.
Glancing at Alice she nods her head to confirm it is time. Reaching down I grab two huge water filled Balloons, I raise my arm, I aim and excitement is radiating through me, bursting at the seems.
"FIRE." Alice shouts and the battle begins, with Alice's fast vampirism moves, and my speedy athletic moves, water balloons are raining down on the four unsuspecting men, screams of shock and horror join in with the loud and boisterous laughter from me and the pixie, the boys didn't seem how to react and I was lulled into a false sense of security thinking we had the upper hand, but that notion changed in seconds.
Quicker then I could blink, Jasper was up and across the room. "Your gonna regret that darlin." Is the last thing I hear as my friend and my team mate is kidnapped by her husband and whisked away.
I freeze mid throw as I quickly realise, I was now very alone and faced with three very soaking wet vampires, assessing the situation, Carlisle was crouching in front of the sofa, trying to find any kind of cover from the raining balloons, he has a massive grin on his face, his eyes sparkling with unhidden joy.
Emmet is standing in the middle of the room, still as a statue and a look of pure irritation and shock written across his pretty face.
And finally, my eyes land on Edward, he was across the room to where he was sitting, in the corner furthest away from where I stood, and the furthest away from the onslaught of the balloons.
"Mini, you are so dead!" Emmets growled threat normally would have made me react in some way, I would normally be hightailing it out of there, ready for some kind of war but I was rooted to the spot, my Hazel eyes never left Edwards, his eyes filled with elation and deviousness, he had the most wicked smirk on his face, my heart plummeted into my stomach, I had an awful feeling payback was going to be a bitch.
Ignoring Em bear, the balloon I was holding drops carelessly onto the floor as I spin on my feet, I have no idea where I plan to run, but I wasn't going to ignore my body screaming at me to get out if there.
It was to late, I was at a disadvantage, on the grounds that he was a vampire and I was a human.
Edwards arms of steel wrap around me, hoisting me into the air and straight into his arms, in fear of being dropped I instinctively wrap myself around him like a child, my arms around his neck, my legs around his waist as I nuzzle my face into his shoulder. Edward was already running through the forest before my mind caught up to what was happening.
"Edward! What... what are you doing?" My voice was high pitch, I had never ran with a vampire before, I had never been in Edwards arms like this, and I could feel sudden nerves eating at me wondering where he was taking me, there was also the fact he was soaking wet and now I was too, being held against him was cold, and soggy but underneath all that I could feel little tingles sparking between us, the shiver that coursed through my body, I couldn't tell if it was from the wet and cold or being in his arms like this.
He doesn't say anything, just keeps on running, i close my eyes, trying to focus on anything besides how he felt against me, I could feel the cold wind lashing against my cheeks, my once straight and neat hair flying all over the place, how he could still run with my hair in his face I would never know.
We come to a sudden halt, and at first I refuse to move and see where he took us, everything around us was deathly quiet and as I said before, I hate silence, gathering up what courage I had left, I pull my head away from him and terrifyingly look behind me, I choke on the shocked gulp of air I tried to inhale, my heart gallops in my chest, my body tingling in fear.
My face morphs into one of begging, my eyes blown wide and pitiful as I plead with him.
"Moonlight, please forgive me. I swear I will never ever do that again, please." His eyes are alight with unbridled joy and delight, pleasure is etched into every feature, I could feel the mischievousness seeping out of him, I knew I was screwed. Leaning down, he places his lips against my ear and that annoying shiver runs down my spine.
"It's a little to late for apologies sunshine" the whispered words where dark and held such forbidden promises, I gulped down my squeak of fear, my arms instinctively tightening around his neck, a slight shift in his body was the only warning before he throws us both of the edge of the rocks and we plunge down into the river below, a scream rips from my mouth as we plummet into the fresh water, he let's go of me as we hit the surface and I start thrashing my legs about, swimming up until I break the surface, sputtering water from my mouth, I could here his soft laugh, I spin around and splash water in his face, that shut him up fast. Just for a moment we are both still, giving each other playful looks before we both begin to pummel each other with water.
Falling back into our easy friendship, we start a splashing war, our laughter is echoing off the rocks around us, I try swimming away every now and then just to have him grab my foot, pulling me back towards him where the splashing ensues, it was an unforgettable moment, one that would forever be precious to me, it was so carefree and joyous, fun and childish, my stomach was hurting so much from the laughing, slowly and steadily we lose steam, our playful splashes tampering off as our laughter turns to small chuckles, he softly grabs my arm, bringing me gently into his body, where he cocoons me in his arms, I relax against him, resting my head upon his shoulder, no words where spoken, it was a serene moment, I wished I could stay with him like this forever, I adored our little moments like this together.
One of his hands is resting on my waist, the other is on the back of my head, holding me to him, he pulls my head back just enough to place a barely there kiss to my forehead, at first I don't react, after all this was a normal action for him to make, but when he moves down and places another one on my cheek, the atmosphere instantly changes around us, my heart quickens and I find myself breathless, my heart is doing a marathon inside my chest by this point, I begin to pant as my mind races through all different scenarios, the one that stuck was the image of him moving and placing his lips upon mine and I begin to sweat, the tingles that was an undercurrent between us are becoming stronger by the minute and I have no idea what to do with myself, it is only when his soft lips touch the very corner of my mouth and the tingles become unbearable does my mind clear enough for me to react, I pull myself away from him, I can't help giving him a cold and distant look, my body has suddenly shut down, it's screaming to get away from him. My brain on repeat, telling me over and over, he is Bella's, he will always be hers.
"Take me home" My voice is cold, my body ridged with barely contained anger.
"Iris, I..."
"Now Edward!"
His face becomes dejected, turning away from me he makes his way towards the bank of the river. I am clueless to what's happening between us, but it stops here and it stops now.
