Bella POV
When I woke up my body felt so soar. I noticed I was able to open my bad eye just a little bit. I looked around the room with my good eye and noticed that I wasn't in my room. That's when I remembered everything that's happened.
I was surrounded by pillows and a warm comforter. When I made an attempt to sit up, pain shut through my stomach which made me groan in pain. All of a sudden the door busted open.
"Bella are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? How are you feeling?" Edward was asking me so many questions.
"Edward could you just quiet down for a minute please," He shut his mouth like I asked him to, "I think we need to talk, like seriously."
Edward nodded in agreement. I saw him place a glass of ice cold water on the night stand and I felt my mouth go dry. My throat pleaded for it. I looked at Edward pleadingly hoping he would catch on and thankfully he did or I would die of thirst.
I took three large gulps before the glass was empty. I was satisfied as I rested back on the pillows.
"Edward why are you doing this?" I just wanted to know so bad.
"It's hard to explain. I mean I just feel this sort of connection with you. I know this may seem crazy but I think I've developed feelings for you." After Edward had admitted this, he looked as though a weight has been lifted off his shoulders.
"Edward, I'm sorry to burst your little bubble but I don't think I could return those feelings," Edward looked really hurt as I said this, "I mean you are a ruthless mob boss. You kill people and use drug money to make a living. How is that someone worthy of love? I don't even know if your capable of feelings at all." I wanted to be honest with him.
"Listen here sweets, just because of my line of work, doesn't mean I'm not capable of feelings. You act like you know me so well but you don't. So I would suggest you watch that mouth of yours before I do something that I might regret." He sneered at me. His eyes shown anger which angered me.
"You know what, if you hate me so much why did you bring me here!? You could have just took me back to my apartment where I could nurse myself. I don't need you or anyone else to help me alright." I huffed and looked away from him. I saw his eyes soften a little.
"I'm sorry. I have a temper that I can't quite control." I felt the bed deep beside me. Before I knew it, I felt lips touch my shoulder.
My heart melted at his words. They sounded so sincere, but I knew that I couldn't be with him no matter what. Firstly we just met and I hardly knew him at all. Secondly, his family isn't all that kind except for Esme and Marcus. I'm not so sure about Alice though.
He was in the mafia for crying out loud. It wouldn't be smart to date him at all. That's like committing suicide on my part. I just don't know what to do.
"Listen Edward I don't know what to say here. I mean we just met and your family isn't to fund of me. We all know that Aro and his goons are not going to like me at all except Marcus. They see me as a threat and I have to keep myself safe. I don't think your world is safe for me." Tears filled my eyes as I stared at Edward's heartbroken face.
"I understand Bella." Edward got up and began to walk out the room.
"Edward wait a minute," He stopped in the door way and turned to look at me, "Can we at least get to know each other personally if you want to, I don't know, date or something." I felt the blush creep up on my face.
"Sure Bella, I'd like that very much." Edward grinned at me and walked back to the bed. He sat down and looked down on me.
"So I guess we could play 20 questions now." I gave him a small smile which he returned. This game went on of 10 minutes.
I learned little by little about him. He seemed pretty happy that I was answering his questions whole heartedly. I felt something within me rise for some reason. I wanted him near me, as close as possible but I knew that could never happen. I'm not worth all this trouble but I guess if being with me will make him happy then, I am going to go along for the ride.
