"And he leaned down once more to press his cold lips to my throat."
He softly brushed his lips against my neck moving down toward my collar bone then up to my chin. He finally whispered, "Are you absolutely positive this is what you want?"
"Yes," I choked.
"Well," he started, his scent filled my nostrils and I nearly forgot how to breathe, "I don't think you're ready."
I tried to push him away, but it was no use. He was too strong for my use. The tears started to well up in my eyes. He lifted my chin with his cold hand. "You're not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not ready to take your life away from you. I'm not worth it." How could he say such a thing? My life revolved around him. Without him I wouldn't be here right now. Without him I wouldn't be alive. How can he say that he's not worth it?
"Edward, how can you say that you're not worth it?"
"Just, trust me-we're not ready for this." He looked up at me and caught my gaze with his golden eyes. He was cheating. I hate it when he cheats. He knows that all he has to do is look at me with those soft pleading eyes and I would give in. Not fair!
"Fine," I sighed. A huge grin appeared on his flawless face. Within seconds I was cradled in his arms. "Edward, please, you don't have to carry me everywhere. I can still walk you know."
"I know, but I need some excuse for carrying you everywhere. This just seems perfect." He started running toward the silver Vanquish. When we got there he opened the door to the passenger side and set me down gently. Before I could even get my seatbelt on he was in the driver's seat placing the key into the ignition. "Where to?" he asked. I was completely confused, not like that wasn't anything normal.
"Um…what?" I asked stupidly. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks from the stupidity of the question. He gave a small chuckle.
"Never mind," he replied as he stepped on the gas. We seemed to be going awfully slow. I leaned over to look at the speedometer. Fifty-five miles per hour.
"Why are you going so slow?" He seemed amused by my question.
"Usually you are begging me to go slower."
"I know," I stammered, "but, this is incredibly slow compared to what I'm used to now."
"Cops are just down the street."
"Oh," I breathed. Such a stupid reply.
We drove in silence for a couple minutes until I threatened to kill Alice under my breath.
"Excuse me?" He asked laughing.
"I said I'm going to kill Alice."
"Why? It's not going to be the easiest task."
"I'm going to kill her because-well; look at me!" I said motioning my hands at my dress and the Stiletto's.
"Now why would you want to kill Alice for that? You look so beautiful it should be illegal." I smiled at his comment and once again felt the heat rising in my cheeks.
We arrived at my house and Edward came over to the passenger's side, opened up the door and lifted me up in his arms.
"Put me down now!" I protested.
"Why? You don't actually think that I am going to let you walk up those steps to the porch do you? With that shoe on and your cast-you're a death trap! More-so than before. Therefore, I am carrying you."
"What about Charlie?" He sighed in defeat. Yes, I thought to myself, finally-an argument that I have won.
He set me down gently and walked me up to the front door. I opened up the screen door then reluctantly turned around to say good-bye to Edward, even though I knew I would see him as soon as I went to my room. He walked toward me and gave me a peck on the cheek. Then, I opened up the door and saw Charlie asleep on the couch. I snuck up to my room, nearly killing myself by tripping over the first step. Luckily, I grabbed the railing before my face made fierce contact with the stair in front of me.
Once I got up to my room Edward was laid out on the bed with his hand behind his head. "I see you didn't kill yourself," he said mockingly.
"Hardy har har har," I replied.
"You need some sleep."
"No I don't! I'll be fine! If only I could get this shoe off…"
"Do you need help?"
"No! I'll be able to do it myself!" I started walking over to the bed, and then I tripped over my own feet and felt a cold grasp on me. I opened my eyes and I was only about an inch or two from the floor. "What am I going to do with you?" he asked. I was able to hear the laughter and enthusiasm in his angelic voice. He gently lifted me up and sat me on the bed. I bent over and unlaced that death trap that Alice called a shoe. "Ah," I sighed in relief as I slipped the shoe off. Edward sat at my side and I rested my head on his shoulder as he caressed circles in my back with his hand. After a few seconds he rested his head on top of mine and started humming the lullaby that was so familiar to me. Within minutes I was in a dreamless sleep in his cold and strong embrace.
I awoke with the feeling of warmth on my cheeks. Something I didn't feel often. I sat up and scanned the room for Edward. I didn't see him anywhere. I scrambled out of bed and noticed a folded piece of paper on my dresser with my name written on the front in his elegant script. I opened it up and saw:
Take as many "human minutes" you need. I am downstairs. I have a surprise for you.
"A surprise?" I said to myself. I hate surprises.
I grabbed my bag of toiletries and headed to the bathroom. I turned the water on for the shower, washed my face, and then climbed into the tub. The hot water relaxed my tight muscles. The whole time I was pondering over what this surprise could possibly be. With Edward, I have found it better not to think about it. He's too unpredictable to guess.
I climbed out of the comforting shower and dried myself off. I headed over to the mirror and wiped away the condensation so I could see my face. I fumbled with my hair, trying to get all of the knots out without ripping half my hair out of my head. After a good ten minutes of struggling I headed back to my room, grabbed my favorite pair of jeans and my blue blouse that he loved to see me in. Then, I headed downstairs. I turned the corner to the kitchen and called out Edwards's name. There was no answer, and that petrified me.
I felt cool arms wrap around my waist as I stood there frozen. "Morning angel." I heard coming from a musical voice. I quickly turned around and hugged Edward with all my might. "What's the surprise?" I asked.
"Well, if I tell you it wouldn't be a surprise. Would it? Turn around."
"What? Why?"
"Bella, just turn around and close your eyes. Please." I obeyed and felt cloth against my eyes.
"A blindfold!"
"Yes," he said tying it behind my head "Is that too tight?"
"No-it's fine."
"Good." I felt him scoop me up in his arms as he started walking.
"Edward, where are you taking me!"
"You'll see." I heard him open up the front door and then once again, I felt the warm sun on my face. Oh-what I would give to see him sparkle in the sunlight one more time. Before I knew it, I was buckled into the Volvo and the engine started revving. As we sped off, I reached back behind my head and tried to untie the blindfold. I felt a cool hand on top of mine accompanied with his musical voice. "Uh-uh. Don't even think about taking that off right now." After his hand left mine I heard the calming music of Claire de Lune. The Volvo came to a stop and once again I was cradled in Edward's arms. I felt the breeze whipping against my hair as I tried my hardest to keep my mind off of not hitting anything. We came to a sudden stop and he set me on my feet gently. I felt him untie the blindfold. "Keep your eyes closed," he whispered into my ear. He removed the blindfold and guided me across the terrain. "Open your eyes," he whispered again. I slowly opened my eyes afraid of what I might see. He rested his head on my shoulder and asked, "What do you think?"
"Oh…My...Gosh!"
