Hey! Another one here. Thank you so much for your support, your love, favorites, and silent readers!

Chapters will be a little more sporadic since I have a lot of reading to do for Uni. I'm currently doing research for my dissertation and that will take a lot of time.

Hope you like it!


The Butterfly Effect.


Chapter 4: Smooth adaptation.

Bella remained sited, stunned at his bluntness. But also excited. She loved the feeling and had not felt that with Edward for a time, possibly since they got back from his suicide attempt.

She managed to mumble "Really?"

He nodded. "I like you. A lot. I was attracted to you when you came earlier this year, I was drawn to your bravery and loyalty. And you are beautiful. But now that I know you a bit better, I know for sure that I like you, I am not merely attracted to you anymore, I really like you. I would like to keep getting to know you. All you want to share with me. We have the eternity before us. As I told you, there is no rush." He passed his knuckles through her cheek.

Bella smiled a little and pondered his words.

"I won't lie to you. I was promised a forever before and ended up with a broken heart and catatonic for six months. I don't like empty promises and lies. I will be honest with you, always. There might be times when I won't want to share something, but I won't lie about it. I like you too, a lot. You seem like a great guy, and you are extremely handsome." He smiled amusedly at that "but I don't want to end up hurt again."

Félix took her face in his hands, making her look at him in the eyes "I swear I will never hurt you. I do take my promises very seriously, you can ask whoever you want if you want to make sure. I will too be honest because that's what I expect from everyone. I will take this as slow or as fast as you want it. I won't say I'm madly in love with you because I don't know you that well yet, but I am certain I am falling for you." Bella locked her stare with his and saw the sincerity in them. She's always believed that she was a good character reader.

Bella smiled, another true smile. She believed him, and even though she didn't feel as deeply as him, and wasn't falling for him yet, she was excited to hear those words. They were brave words. He could face rejection but spoke them, nonetheless. "I like your eyes." She blushed ashamed, because of all the things she could have said, she blurted out the first thing she was thinking. But when you're looking at a red-eyed vampire so intently that's basically all your mid focus on. In that note she noticed that the characteristic red of "normal" vampires looks good on him, they were a little creepy but with his dark hair and eyelashes his red eyes were hypnotizing.

He laughed and impulsively kissed her forehead. "I like your eyes too" she giggled. This was an absurd conversation. Felix moved to return to his seat but didn't play- back the movie. Instead they did some more small conversation. They talked a bit more about them, but Félix kept touching her (grabbing her hands, or brushing his hand through her arm). She was comfortable with him. She had never doubt anything Edward ever said but couldn't help but wonder.

She thought about their compromise to tell each other the truth and in honor of that "Is it true that the beauty about your kind, your smell, your manners, is to draw they prey in?"

Felix thought about it for a few seconds before shaking his head " In my personal opinion, not exactly. We are stronger, faster yes, but that's just the nature of it, I have never wondered why, I just assumed it was something typical for us. Just like some humans have different skin colors depending on their home country." Bella nodded following his line of thought. "We are beautiful, and it can draw people in, but I don't think we are built to that. It's like asking if a lion is attractive to their preys because they are strong and big. It's nature. We need blood to survive, mainly human blood, that's biology. You need food, water, rest and a bathroom. Lions need wilderness. Again, it's biology. The food chain."

Bella thought about it. It made sense. "That actually makes a lot of sense. When Edward told me what he was, he said that everything about him invited me in".

"That's what made you ask?"

"Not really. I feel different when I'm with you than I felt when I was with him." She didn't want to compare, but it was almost impossible not to, and she didn't want to insult him by comparing him to her ex-boyfriend, but she had promised honesty "I don't know how to explain it. It's like you don't hesitate to say or do anything. He was always really careful about everything. Like he was walking on eggshells. I don't doubt that he loved me, but it is different." She finished blushing.

Bella could see that the comparison made him uncomfortable, he was tense and was frowning-Bella, every relationship is different. I am glad we are different. I might hesitate to do some things until you are transformed. But everything at its time. As I said. I really, really like you. I want to start something with you and explore it as it goes. I meant what I said. We have time, we have the eternity before us."

"I like the sound of that." She smiled. In the heat of the moment, her brain and mouth didn't connect, and she blurted out the first thing that crossed her mind "Can I kiss you?"

Félix didn't answer. He closed the space between them and caught her lips in his. Kissing her slowly, getting to know her flavor, she locked her hands in his hair and tugged at it a few times. He teased her lips with his tongue until she received him in. She sighed delighted. The kiss continue for a few seconds more until she break it to breath.

He leaned his forehead into hers and smiled. "That was...something" Félix laughed at her words.

He leaned to kiss her again but someone breaking in in his room without knocking broke the moment.

"Ups. Félix, Aro calls you." It was Demetri and he was trying not to laugh at Bella's blush and fast heart rate.

Félix kissed Bella's forehead and whispered that he'd be back in a few. Demetri stayed behind. Before passing through the door, Felix gave Demetri a very meaningful glare, but Demetri didn't even blink, he wasn't afraid of a frustrated Felix.

"So…"

"So…" repeated Bella trying to hold his stare, though he was making her nervous.

"You and him?" She shrugged "I knew you liked him." Then he gave her the most childish smile.

"Excuse me?"

"The last few days, when he would smile at you or wink at you your heart rate would accelerate, and you blushed a lot. So yeah, it was a bit evident."

Bella growled. Now, everyone knew she had a crush on Félix.

He sat in front of her, on the other on-sit sofa. "Don't do that. Don't let what others might think of you bother you. He likes you; you know?"

Bella smiled tenderly. "He told me."

"Don't hurt him." Demetri's face was serious with concern for his brother. "He's a pretty great guy."

"I have the same chances of getting hurt. I'm not planning on running away from him, or ...us. I like him too, a lot."

"Good, little human. We will get along pretty well."

"So that means Heidi will share?" Demetri looked at her and laughed. They would get along great.

"You will have to ask her."

She laughed and shook her head. They made small conversation until Felix came back.


It's short I know. But in order to continue with what I wrote, I'll have to make them shorter until I have more time to write!

Kisses!
