Authors Note: Okay.. first of all, thanks for those who gave reviews and MoonShineMystery, thanks for correcting me.. I guess I accidentally type in Alexander. Six chapters.. would it be too fast? By the way, Bella doesn't like Brandon, don't get it wrong.
Disclaimer: Stephenie's the one who owns it.
"Well, I don't think that's important to tell you, I'm rich but I don't feel the love that I wanted…the love that I hungered from the person I cared from." He whispered the last sentence.
"Well, no doubt, just go after the person u cared for, I believe she'll be touch and accept you." I advised.
"That's a good idea, but how if the girl doesn't know that I long for her love and her touch as much as I needed blood." He said, looking deep in my eyes.
I bit my lip, thinking what to say next.. I have no idea what is he talking about!
"Erm, tell her your feelings then." I studied his face, "Who is that girl you're talking about?"
Brandon seemed to ignore my question, so I didn't want to force him if he didn't want to.
"What time is it anyway?" I asked.
"It is eleven at night now." He murmured.
"What! I better get going, Edward must be looking for me now, see you tomorrow Brandon." I said while knotting my shoelace.
"Let me drive you to there, since that it's already late at night." He offered.
"Well, if it's regarding my safety, then no problem." I accepted.
I hopped in his car; it was a black shiny modern Mercedes.
"Put on your seatbelt, I'm afraid I might drive faster than the speed limit." He ordered.
I quickly put on my seatbelt and sit back. I look out into the murky streets..
"Bella, what makes you like Edward?" He suddenly ask.
His question really caught me off guard. I bit my lips, figuring what should I say. Anyway, why is he asking me this type of question.
"You know Brandon, love cannot be force or explain, I like his scent, his smile, his touch, I kept thinking about him day and night. Do you experience love before? If you do, you'll understand what I meant, everything about him makes me makes my heart beats faster than usual." I explained.
"When I am mortal and now immortal, I don't really love someone truly, I just consider it as part of a human's life; woman's love." He said.
"Then you are absolutely wrong, we need love to go on our life, doesn't matter human or inhuman." I advised him.
He smiled and nodded. "Thank you Bella, you really are a good and likable friend."
With that, I returned his smile and got out of the car. "Anytime Brandon, thanks for driving me here."
I unlocked the door and quietly walked to my room, it made me feel like as though I'm breaking in my to own house.
I turned on the lights and jump to my bed, I was so tired to think of anything. I wonder what's Edward doing.. Edward! He must be dead worried now.
I grabbed my phone in the kitchen and dialed Edward's number.
It just rang a few times then a musical voice answered the call, "Hey, is that you Bella?"
"Yes Edward, it's me, I call to tell you that I'm fine, don't worry."
"For heaven sake Bella, why couldn't you call earlier? I was so damn worried, we looked for the whole park, Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rosalie too.
Then I heard a female's voice, "Edward, is that Bella calling?" Alice asked.
"I'm really sorry Edward, I wanted to.." Suddenly I was cut off by another female's voice "Edward, where had you been, I've been waiting for so long in the room."
If I wasn't mistaken I think it is Liz's voice calling for Edward, and what hurts it the word 'waiting in room'.
"I guess you have something better to do, I'd better get to sleep now, bye Edward." I said, everything in a rush.
"Take care Bella, I'll come by your house to pick you up tomorrow morning."
I hung up the phone..
I slunk away to my room to brood. I couldn't sleep, once I closed my eyes, images of Edward and Liz popped up in my mind. I admit that I was jealous, right, nothing to be embarrassed about.
I dread to think what would happen if Edward leave me because the answers to this question remained as elusive as ever.
The next morning…
I ate my breakfast and headed to the door, only to find a silver Volvo parked neatly outside my house.
"Good morning, my love." Edward said romantically.
I glance around his car, no sign of Liz. Good!
"Morning dear." I replied. "So, what's the plan for today?"
"Honestly, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I wanted to see you more than ever, I missed you Bella." Edward said.
"Really? Your words is beyond belief." I alleged suspiciously.
Edward stared at me, trying to make out what I meant.
"So Bella, tell me how you got back to your house safely and did anything extraordinary happen?" He asked while studying my face.
"You reminded me of a question I wanted to ask you, where did you go with Liz when it's raining?" Desperate to change the subject.
He was silent for 3 seconds until he finally found his voice back "Liz convinced me to look after you when the rain stop." He explained.
Just like what I predicted, well, this is definitely the one right thing she ever done..
"Edward, what do you think of Liz?" I asked, curious.
"Well, she is sweet and friendly.. that's all I could think of, why?" He answered.
"Nothing… just wondering, you know, I have nothing better to do." I replied, smirking.
"All right then."
Edward was driving at human speed, which pleased me very much, but one thing is, where are we going?
Edward pulled over, "I guess I changed my mind, I'm taking you to the meadow instead, you're going to stay overnight, is that fine with you?"
"Then I'll have to call Charlie." Edward handed me his cellphone, "Here you go."
I hit Charlie's number and sent him a voice message, since that he is busy now.
"Hey, it's me Bella, I'm going for overnight at the meadow with Alice, just to inform u well, take care. Bye."
I handed it back to Edward with a "thanks."
There waiting at the door was Alice, no doubt she certainly saw me coming from her vision, I can see that excited face lit up on her.
"Hey Bella! I miss you a lot thought!" Alice ran over to me, giving me a bone-crushing hug.
I gasp for air, "I-I can't breathe." I choked out those words.
"Oh, I'm sorry Bella." She gave me an innocent smile.
Edward held my waist as we walked in the hall. "Hey Liz, Bella's gonna overnight here today." She rose from the table and her glance went directly to me, I felt an icy shiver race along my spine.
"H-hi." I wave at Liz.
"Why are you here?" She asked frostily. I didn't know exactly why am I here too though.
"Pay the Cullen's a visit I guess." I answered.
She nodded and ran upstairs, so obvious that she wanted to avoid me.
Edward took my hand, I felt the coldness of his gentle touch swirl through me.
We went up to the living room, his meadow, was crystal clear from dust, not like in movies, dark, murky and covered with spider webs.
I looked at a necklaces exhibited in a secured glass case, hung on the wall, I can see it's a very old one, If wasn't wrong, it belongs to the ancient dynasty. Edward followed my gaze that leaded to the necklaces that I least was attracted with.
He pointed to the first necklace, delicate-gold beads alternated with gold-date shaped pendants. It was beyond beautiful, the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen.
"The fire is a symbolic of eternal love, passion." Edward explained.
I couldn't imagine owning such an exquisite piece of jewelry.
"The necklace said, it would like you as its owner, it hasn't been wore since a century ago, would you like to accept this necklace?" Edward said as he slipped the necklace around my neck
I walk to a picture framed, glancing at my reflection and the sparkling topaz just below my throat.
"How do you know the necklace likes me?" I grin at him
"Well, did you just forget I got the ability to read minds? The necklace suits you well, you look beautiful with it." He complimented.
I gave out a giggle, "It's too hard for me to resist after you've laid it around my neck." I teased.
"You do not need to resist, it's a gift, passed down by every generation, I promised her to give it to the woman I love." He said.
"How many generations?" I asked, skeptical, but still intrigued.
"I couldn't remember, but all I knew is it's a very old one." He answered.
I kissed his cheek and whispered, "Thank you dear."
"But beware, it has a curse sealed in it, once you wore this necklace, it has an invisible curse, never kiss other man besides me when you're wearing this chain, my mother didn't say it in detail." He warned me.
"Wow, it sounds so dangerous, but no worries, I will never kiss other man, never will I break this promise." I assured him and smiled sweetly.
I glance back at myself, I look totally gorgeous with it, a beautiful gold necklace sealed with a curse in it, but it's a risk wearing it.
A/N: Kayz.. I'll update every chapter 1 by 1 then, easier for all of us. :)
