Chapter 12 Bella POV

I stared at my daughter with wide eyes as she looked anywhere but at us. "…were going to just order dinner. Kira come sit down." She sighed but did as she was told and sat in the chair. "what happened?"

She licked her lips, "Rosalie was, a bit out of it today. I thought she was upset because of Andrew but when I finally asked her, she uh, well she asked me out." Val took the lead "and that isn't something you want? With her I mean." She shrugged, "I mean yah, kind of. She's hot, she's beautiful, she's funny, fun, nice-at least to me. We get along great, she didn't judge me about my past. She's-she's amazing. There's something about her that just draws me in."

"then what's the problem?"

"she's made for someone else!" I shared a look with my wife, "what do you mean?"

"I mean you heard Tanya, vampires have their one mate, occasionally two. But there is that one person made for them. I don't need another Derek situation, and I sure as hell don't need things to get serious and then get dumped. And If she isn't looking for serious and just to hook up I don't do that anymore."

She had started pacing halfway through. "for her to have the nerve to ask me out knowing it would only be for however long until she meets them. Like some fucking toy! Are all vampires the same!?" My wife sent me a look that said if I didn't tell her she would, and it wasn't for us to tell but it didn't look like Rosalie took the rejection very well. "sweetheart, did you think that maybe, there was a reason she asked you out?"

"what kind of reason? What reason can someone have to do that knowing it wouldn't last? I did it with Derek because of how rare he said it was, and then wolf after wolf imprinted. I'm not doing it again." She caught the next look I shared with Val "what? what do you know I don't?" Val cleared her throat, "well sweetie it's just, I don't think Rosalie would do that to you."

"but she did, she asked me out knowing that."

"I think, I think she isn't really worried about that."

"what do you mean? Why?"

"…it's not our place to say."

"but you're going to anyways. I'm your daughter, you're not going to choose a vampire over me."

"One, don't get smart with us. Two, you are correct. Are you sure you don't want to hear this from her?" She looked down in thought before sitting back down, "I do, but I'm not sure what I would believe from her."

"I don't think she would, or even could lie to you hon." She frowned but nodded, "tell me." I took a deep breath "you are her mate." She froze completely, eyes wide and mouth hanging open, she was silent for to long and Val got up and kneeled by her "this doesn't have to mean anything Kira. You aren't going to be forced into anything, if you want nothing to do with her then that's fine." I nodded in agreement. She finally looked up at us, her eyes swirling with emotions, "she told you this?" We nodded, "and you believe her?" My wife's face showed nothing so I knew she was still fighting the thought but I nodded. "it's not Rosalie's style to lie. She doesn't see the point in it."

"so if I asked her point blank?"

"she would tell you." I could tell she was fighting it but wanting to believe it, "Kira like your mother said, this doesn't have to change anything."

"but it changes everything mom." She shook her head, "the house she's staying in, do you know it?" I turned to Val who pursed her lips, "it's the one we almost bought." She nodded "may I borrow one of the cars? I promise to be back by curfew." Val let out a sigh but tossed her the keys to the Tacoma, "please be careful."

"and call if you need anything." She nodded and bolted out the door. I took the seat next to my wife with a sigh, pulling her down onto my lap. "should we have done that?"

"you mean tell her the truth?" rolling my eyes, "I mean telling her something Rosalie should have."

"exactly Rosalie should have."

"she was still trying to get to know her."

"defending the vampire are we?"

"says the woman who was in a deep conversation with a vampire when I got home." I squeezed her waist and she snorted "I wouldn't exactly call it deep."

"hmm what exactly did you two talk about then." She hummed as she leaned into me "as I said she came to warn us about the whole Emmett thing. She is aware of the gist of what we are now." I'm sure my eyebrows were in my hairline "you told her what we were?"

"I did."

"…why?"

"…I don't know." She tilted her head to look at me, I placed a kiss to her lips "something is different about that vampire isn't there."

"aye, I may have, well I took a look at her soul." I chuckled a little at that "of course you did. You know you're not supposed to be doing that."

"shush you. That's not the biggest rule we have broken and you know it."

"mmm what did you see?" her lips pursed "a line."

"hmm to her mate then?" she shrugged, "I don't know, there were two though. And I don't think it was mates."

"why not?"

"…because one of them was-it was attached to me." I froze, my mind going blank before racing "what do you mean attached to you?"

"just that, one went off out the door, the other was attached to me. I swallowed thickly, my arms tightening around her waist, "what does that mean?" I choked out, she turned in my arms to look me in the eyes taking my face in her hands. "it could mean any number of things babe. Most likely I guided her soul sometime in the past and it had a lasting affect."

"does she look familiar to you?"

"well, no but she's a vampire, looks change. Besides I can't be expected to remember every single face." I nodded still lost in thought. "your over thinking this honey." I was going to reply when Leah walked in with a sleeping Aidan in her arms. My wife placed a kiss to the side of my chin before getting up and taking him from her. "this child has so much energy." I send the wolf a smile, "we really appreciate this Leah." She waved me off "don't worry about it, you know I enjoy him, so do the others. Especially Jake. Oh and he already ate dinner." We thanked her and said our goodbyes and I followed Val up as she carried him to his bed. She set him down and turned to me with a raised brow, "what?" I shook my head with a smile, "I love you."

Her own smile melted my heart as she walked up to me, her arms wrapping around my neck as I wound mine around her waist. I placed a kiss to her forehead before moving to her lips. SEX SCENE-I deepened it as I pushed her towards our room, she moaned into my mouth when my tongue swirled with hers. "mmph what about mm dinner?" My hands went to the hem of her tank-top "can wait." She rose her hands above her head allowing me to remove it, her bra soon following as I attached my lips to her neck. She threw her head back with a moan and I kept walking her back until her legs hit the edge of the bed. I didn't waist time pushing her down onto the bed reaching for her sweats. I slid them down her legs slowly as her eyes darkened with arousal. Crawling back up her body I place kiss after kiss until I reach her lips. She deepened it pulling my into her as I fell between her legs. I pulled away for air before skimming my lips down her neck to her collar bone, by the time I reached her breasts she was panting. I took a nipple in my mouth sucking while lightly pinching the other between two fingers. She gasped as I bit down lightly before moving down her stomach. She pushed her hips into me and I had to hold her down as I slid my way down her body, I moved her legs so they rested over my shoulders. She gasped when I took a long lick up her slit and it quickly turned into a moan when I took her clit into my mouth sucking it. I ran my tongue roughly over the nub as her hip jumped frantically, wrapping my arms around them to keep them in place I slid my tongue into her entrance. Her hand shot to my head gripping my hair as she pulled me into her with a deep moan, her words coming out as a gasp "fuck Bella don't stop baby." Her breathing was coming in pants as I slid my tongue in and out of her core, her hand tightening in my hair as her back arched up and she moaned my name as her release dripped down my face.

Her back collapsed onto the bed, her breathing heavy as I licked up every drop. I crawled back up her body placing kiss after kiss on her warm skin. She shivered lightly as I ran my hand up her side until I was caressing her face. "I love you" I murmured against her lips, they turned up as she opened her eyes "I love you to." I kissed her softly before letting her catch her breath, and then I was on my back staring wide eyed at the woman straddling my waist as she smirked down at me.

She leaned down for a kiss quickly sliding her tongue past my lips as her hands traveled my body. She ripped the shirt off of me with a quick tug and took my breast in her hand running her thumb over my nipple before pinching it sending a shock of pleasure through me. Her warm tongue swirled with mine as she tugged on my nipple, my hips jumped into her begging for some kind of friction. She pulled away and slowly unbuttoned my jeans before sliding them down, she ran her hands up and down my legs as she kneeled between them. Licking her lips she ran her finger up from my entrance to my clit over and over and I already knew I was soaking wet. She pulled away and a whimper left me at the loss of her hand only for a whole new flood of want to crash into me as she licked her fingers clean "mm baby you taste so fucking good." She murmured before pressing her lips to mine once more. I could taste myself on her tongue as she pressed the length of her body to mine. She slid a hand down between us until she reached my clit once more rubbing circles around it. My breath left me in a gasp as she pressed down harder "mm you like that baby?" it took me a minute to find my voice "fuck Val." My hips were jumping in rhythm with her fingers, her body on mine keeping me pressed down. I looked up into her eyes as I spread my legs farther for her and in one swift move she slid two fingers deep into my core. I could feel myself get closer and closer as her hand moved faster. My back arched up with one final thrust and I was clenching around her fingers as my vision blurred and the orgasm ripped through me. I laid there panting for what felt like hours well aware she was licking her fingers clean. When I could see straight again I looked up to see her looking down at me with a cocky smirk. END

Kira POV

I can do this, I can do this. I can't do this. Why was I doing this. I tapped my fingers on the wheel as I got closer and closer to the address my mother gave me. Turning down the dirt road I felt my heartrate speed up like crazy when the house came into view. I can see why my mother's almost bought it, it was very Victorian for Forks. I pulled up out front and sat there staring at the house for a moment trying to gather my nerve. Getting out it felt like the longest walk up the stairs to the door, my hand felt like it weighed a ton as I raised it to knock. I waited for what felt like forever before turning around, I didn't get past the first step though as the door opened behind me. Spinning around I meet the golden eyes of Rosalie. They were lighter so I knew she hunted, but they were still dark as she gazed at me. "Kira, what are you doing here?" she asked when I didn't speak, her voice soft and guarded. I opened and closed my mouth trying to find the words but all that came out was "is Emmett your mate?" her brows furrowed and I saw pain in her eyes but I don't know for what, "no." I nodded, I already knew that. "Am I?" Her eyes widened and it was her turn to stumble for an answer, my mother was certain I was her mate, now it's up to her to tell me the truth I already knew. The signs were all there, the Cullen's didn't socialize with people, Rosalie especially. But she did with me. Rosalie doesn't like people, she isn't even that nice to people, she was nice to me. She even apologized to someone she considered an enemy. But would she tell me the truth? What reason did she have not to? And then she said the word, so quiet I almost didn't hear it "yes." I blinked a couple of times, I knew the answer but hearing it still threw me. Looking up into her golden eyes so full of pain, worry, concern I knew there was no way she was lying to me. "well shit." I uttered only to regret it when she flinched. I ran my hand over my face trying to think of something to say before I put my foot in my mouth again. "Rosalie-"

"it's ok Kira, you should probably just go." She wrapped her arms around herself and I never thought she could look so vulnerable. I looked into her eyes as she willed away the tears that would never fall and with a deep breath I made a decision. I took the few feet between us with her watching my every move, I placed my hands on her shoulder to steady me as I rose on my toes and pressed my lips to hers. She completely froze and I'm sure her eyes were wide. I didn't give her a chance to move even an inch before I pulled away, "pick me up for school tomorrow." And I turned from her making my way back to the truck. I chanced one look back at her in the rear view and noticed her eyes were still following me.

My mind was racing the entire drive back home. When I got there I walked right upstairs and fell into my bed with a thud, I laid there staring at the ceiling for what felt like hours. "…I just kissed Rosalie." I murmured. I rolled over and pressed my face into the pillow waiting for darkness to consume me.

When I woke up I could hear the steady thrum of rain on the roof, a look at the clock read 6:15. With a groan I rolled out of bed and into the shower. Throwing on some clothes I grab my jacket and bag tossing them on the couch as I make my way into the kitchen. My mother stood in front of the stove flipping pancakes with Aidan on her hip. "where's ma?" she turned to me with a smile "still in bed."

"she feeling ok?"

"she's fine just tired right now. How did last night go?" I shrugged "honestly not sure, I did tell her to pick me up for school so we will see if she shows." She chucked and placed a plate in front of my spot as I grabbed some juice "sweetheart I don't think she can say no to that." I hummed in response as I took a bite not really sure if I believed it.

Sure enough as I finished my breakfast and cleaned my dished there was a nock at the door. My mother sent me a smirk as I rolled my eyes and grabbed my stuff. Throwing the door open I have never seen Rosalie look so damn nervous. She tried to send me a smile but it came out more of a grimace. "Good morning Kira."

"Morning Rose." I followed her to her car as she opened the door for me like always, Derek ever did that, I mean we usually took his bike, but still any doors. "Driving the Tesla again huh?" her smile turned a bit more real when the car was mentioned "yah the BMW needs work done and I haven't gotten the chance."

"ahh, cool cool."

"mhmm." The ride to school was quiet and awkward as she tapped her fingers on the wheel. She pulled into a spot away from Edwards, who decided to make an appearance again, and he wasn't alone. Next to him stood one mountain of a man with some little blonde hanging on his arm. I couldn't stop the snort that left me, her eyes left them and shot to me in question. I shrugged, "he downgraded." Was all I said, and it was worth it to watch her eyes light up a little more "thank you." She reached for the door to get out when I grabbed her other arm to stop her. She looked to me confused "is everything ok Kira?"

"we should talk about last night." I watched as she immediately shut down all emotion "I don't want you to be late for class." I rolled my eyes "with your driving? We got here early and you know it." She let out an almost inaudible sigh before sitting back into her seat "ok."

"I'm your mate?" She nodded not able to look at me. "your only mate?" She frowned but nodded again. "I kissed you." Her lips twitched "you did" She murmured. "you didn't kiss me back." She whipped her head around to look at me but didn't say anything. "which I guess is reasonable since I took you by surprise." She blinked. I licked my lips, "is that date offer still available?" She blinked a couple more times before "you said no." Nodding "yes I did. I-I didn't want to say yes and have you leave me." I turned to look out the window as my moms SUV pulled up next to us. "…why would I leave you Kira?"

"I didn't know I was your mate Rose. I thought we would go out for a while, I'd fall then you would find them and leave." I saw her hand move out of the corner of my eye as if t reach out to me but she pulled it back. I took a deep breath before turning back to her "I'm fucked up. Far more than the past I told you, the scars and needle marks are just a part. I am fucked up. So I warn you of that now. But if you would still like to, I would very much like to go on that date with you."

"so…your only going on a date with me because your my mate?" I furrowed my brows and I admit I got a little angry "it's not a pity offer if that's what you're thinking Rose. I told you why I said no." Her eyes darkened and I could tell she was fighting her own anger. I took a deep breath to calm myself "ok, so I would like to go out with you, if you still want. Because I like you, not because of pity, or because I am your mate. Just because Rose." She took my words in thinking as the bell rang, and finally "I would like that." I felt the tension leave me, mostly. "Great, awesome." I took the moment she turned to look at me in my advantage and once again pressed my lips to hers. She once again froze but it didn't last long and she kissed me back softly her ice cold hand cupping my cheek. A shiver racked through me and she pulled away "sorry" she murmured. Rolling my eyes "you saw my mother shove ice down his throat right? This is nothing." I kissed her again quickly and got out of the car. She quickly followed clearly still in shock. She walked around to greet me as my mom got out of her car as well. As soon as she did the three vampires were making their way towards us. I rolled my eyes at the cocky smirk dickward wore and slid my hand into Rosalie's, she squeezed it gratefully as the giant vampire walked up to us with him. "Rose." She raised an eyebrow at him but didn't respond, "this is Amber." She still didn't respond but it didn't matter as he turned to my mom with a big grin "Bella Bear." She looked him in the eyes unimpressed not sparing the girl a look before turning to Rose "want me to get Val?" I snorted knowing she would, Rose let out a little chuckle before looking at him "No, not really worth the trouble." With that she dragged me off towards the building, my mom following as Edward yelled after her. A few students turned to look at the idiot not even sparing us a glance. My mom is a fair teacher, but she also takes no nonsense and the other students know that.

Once we were in the building and out of earshot from them I glanced at her "are you ok?"

"I'm fine. Thank you." She squeezed my hand again and glanced down at them intertwined. I stopped and she was pulled to a stop looking worried "what?" I sent her a smirk before gesturing to the door on my right, she looked as if she would be blushing if she could. "right." She shifted from foot to foot and it was so damn adorable watching her shift nervously. I tugged on the hand still in mine and watched her eyes widen as she stepped up to me. This time though she leaned down to meet me half way pressing her lips to mine, I didn't need to have vampire hearing to catch the gasps around us. I pulled away and smiled at her darkening eyes before walking into class not sparing our audience a glance.
