Yep, this is the next chapter. Maybe it'll actually be intriguing this time. Have fun reading it. I dont own any of the stuff yada yada yada like everyone says. although i wish edward was mine ;) yup.

Chapter 2:

"You'll see, it's a surprise." And with that he turns on the radio.

I sit, impatiently, until we arrive at the Cullen's home. Edward steps out, opening my door a split second later. He takes my hand and helps me out so I don't fall. I blush as he smiles widely at me, obviously thinking about my clumsiness.

"Thank you, my prince," I say, flashing him as seductive a smile as I can muster, but it fades in the glow of his perfectly white, mischievous grin. He suddenly pulls me so my body is flush against his, dipping me like a ball room dancer. I feel my face heat up and my pulse quicken tremendously.

"You should know better than to tempt me, Bella," he says, smoothly, seductively. His face so close to mine that our noses brush against each other. He growls softly, playfully, leaning me against the car and leaning in to my lips…I close my eyes and wait, breathing in his sweet smelling breath. Then his hands catch my wrists, gripping them tightly. I open my eyes again, seeing his eyes deep, black, and hungry. My adrenaline pumps as I realize it's not only a human-type of hunger.

"Edward…?" I whimper, fear marring my face. He growls deeply and leans towards my neck.

"Edward!" a high pitched voice shouts, as a pair of strong arms grabs Edward around the torso and pulls him away from me. I look and see Jasper and Alice restraining a very hungry, very scary Edward.

"Edward?" I whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks. His eyes slowly settle into a calmer state. He shrugs out of Jasper's grip and falls down to his knees, his head resting in his hands. Even in his distress he looks like a god.

"Edward," I say, walking closer to him with my hand outstretched, resting it softly, slowly, on the top of his head.

"Don't," he hisses, his voice harsh, though I sense the anger is more directed at himself, "Not yet. I'm still very dangerous." I don't remove my hand, though. I somehow can't find myself to be worried about my welfare. I gently stroke his hair as I step closer to him, standing right in front of his crouched, god-like figure.

"Bella," Alice warns, taking a step forward. I silence her with as assuring a look as I can pull off.

I touch Edward's back with my other hand, gently rubbing it up and down. He seems to relax a bit and wraps his arms around my hips, pressing his cheek against my stomach.

"Bella, I am so sorry. I only put you into danger, nothing good ever comes from your exposure to me." I sink down so I can throw my arms around him.

"Don't say that!" I plead, anxiously. "Never say that nothing good comes from us being together!" I bury my face in his shoulder, my tears soaking through his white t-shirt. When I look up, into his eyes, they're warmer and repentant. Scorchingly so.

"There, now. You're better." I say trying to smile, wiping at a stray tear that tumbled from my glistening eyes. He catches my hand softly and places it on his cheek.

"What would I do without you in my life?" he asks, rhetorically, to himself. I smile and blush, staring straight into his eyes. They are all black now.

"You need to go hunting, Edward." I say, quietly, noticing that Alice and Jasper have gone back in the house, though probably are still watching.

He nods, agreeing entirely after two loss of controls today, "But I can't leave you alone," he says, his eyes soft and loving.

"I'll be alright, Alice and I will go…" am I really about to suggest this? "We will go shopping." I say, forcing a smile. He laughs outright at this, a heart melting, booming sound.

"Alright, but I will be back before dark, Bella, I promise you," he says with a beautifully sincere face.

Alice bounds out onto the porch and squeals with glee, "Yeeees! Bella, we're going to find you something spectacular to wear for when Edward does come home!" Edward reaches out and strokes my cheek with his hand, then hops into his Volvo and speeds off.

Alice takes my hand and drags me to the garage in the back of the house. She leads me to a black eclipse and pushes me into the passenger side. In a second she is seated in the drivers seat and starting the car.

"So, was this a bad suggestion?" I can't help but ask with a nervous smile across my face. Alice, me and shopping has never been a good combination. She smiles wickedly as she speeds out of the driveway and onto the dirt road leading from the Cullen house to the main road.

"We'll have to find you something sexy for when Edward—" she begins quickly, smiling.

"Excuse me!" I can't help but scream. If I thought regular shopping was bad, I can only imagine this "sexy" clothing Alice will be picking out. Sometimes I think she forgets that I'm not a vampire who likes to flaunt what I don't have. My cheeks flush red.

"Well, Bella, don't you want Edward's jaw to drop?" she asks, laughing at my reaction. I grimace, but think of the idea of Edward—my Greek-god-of-a-runway-model—being stunned by me in something sexy.

"Well, my jaw drops when I see Edward in a t-shirt," I confess. She giggles.

"Then it's settled. Edward will be thoroughly surprised to see you tonight, Bella, believe me!" Her voice trailing off ominously.
