"Bella!" Edward exclaimed on the other line. I instantly relaxed at the sound of his voice. I roughly heard the Volvo's engine in the background. "Is everything alright? Would you like me to come and get you now?"
DISCLAIMER: you get the point. i don't own twilight.
"Everything is fine, and yes, please." I heard the sound of the engine getting louder, he was speeding up. This made me smile; he was just as excited to see me as I was to see him.
"I'll see you in a moment," he said. Sure enough, the blinding lights of the Volvo hit the street Jacob and I were walking on. We had reached the Rabbit at this point.
"Be there in a sec," I said.
"I'll see you then," he said, I could hear the smile in his voice. I smiled and snapped the phone shut.
"So I guess your leech wants you back now. Hmph. Hey, the guys and I are going to have a dinner at my house tomorrow; it's my dad's birthday. Do you think you can get away?" he asked. His excitement was contagious.
"I'll try, I'm pretty sure I can, but you never know. Thanks for tonight; I'll let you know about tomorrow. Bye Jake, it was great seeing you," I spoke warmly. He took his arm - already stationed on my shoulders - and wrapped it around me, pulling me into another hug. This time he lightened up so I could breathe.
"Bye, Bells. Try real hard for tomorrow, okay?" he asked. He sounded regretful. I felt bad for not talking to him much tonight.
"Sure, sure," I said with a smile. He smiled back, releasing me to walk the awkward distance over the boundary line.
Edward was out of the Volvo now, pacing. The second my foot crossed over what I guessed was the boundary line, his head snapped up like someone had called his name. He looked directly at me with eyes filled of love and relief. I smiled and ran over to him at my 'slow' human speed, careful not to trip over anything. Edward happily opened his arms to allow me into his stone cold embrace. He kissed me passionately and carried me to the car.
"I've missed you, Bella," he murmured as he carried me like a little child.
"I missed you too," I smiled at him and kissed his neck. Edward set me to my feet when we reached the passenger side of the car and quickly had the door open for me. I smiled in thanks and sat myself in the already warm, relaxing car. In a matter of a second, Edward was next to me, starting the car so there was a soft purr, and turning the heat up for me.
"How was your night?" I tried to see if there was anything false about his curiosity. If he was doing it to show he was okay with me going over. His eyes were bright topaz, warm from hunting.
"It was good, the new pack member was nice," I shrugged, hoping he wouldn't ask for details.
"That's good," he said, turning back to the wheel. He wrinkled his nose and pulled out.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Please, don't be offended, but, well… you stink, love," he said, wrinkling his nose again. I rolled my eyes and turned to the window, hoping we could talk about something other than our werewolves' troubles. As usual, it wasn't that easy. Edward picked up my hand and brought it to his lips, as if to kiss it, but wrinkled his nose and placed it back in its previous location.
"What?" I asked dumbly.
"Why does your hand smell so much more potent than everything else?" he asked. I realized in that moment what he was referring to. Koda's lips had been on my hand.
"Uh… I'm not sure. I shook hands with them?" I guessed. I really didn't like lying to Edward, but this was necessary. If I told him the truth, he would have probably killed Koda and caused a war between my best friend and my boyfriend.
"Are you sure that's it?" he asked, turning to me and raising an eyebrow. I shrugged, hoping to dismiss it. He sighed and became annoyed. "What I would give to listen to your thoughts…" he mumbled.
We were on my road at this point and I could feel exhaustion taking over. Leaning my head back on the seat, I let out a satisfied sigh and waited until we came to a stop.
I felt my eyelids droop as Edward stopped the car and turned to me. I fought to keep them open and looked at him; the vision of beauty next to me. Seeing my tired state, Edward pulled his hands up to my face and cradled it. As he was leaning in to kiss me, I tried to wake myself up. Thankfully, it worked. His kiss sparked energy in me, like a wick of a candle held to a flame. I felt cold run throughout my body and I welcomed the shiver that came. Unthinkingly, I wound my arms around his neck, pulling him to me. All too soon, he released me. I looked in his eyes and found only raw excitement. He closed his eyes and wrinkled his nose again. He thinks I smelled. Terrific.
As if he could read my thoughts, "It's not your fault, love," he murmured, opening his eyes. They had calmed and now were incredibly soft. "Bed time for the human," he smiled. I smiled and nodded, completely content.
Before I could protest, Edward had my door open and was helping me out. He promised Charlie couldn't see; that was reassuring. With a final kiss, he ran off to my bedroom to wait for me as I faced Charlie. As usual, he was stationed in front of the television, watching a recap of the basketball game. I attempted to tiptoe past him, but ultimately failed.
"Hey, Bells!" Charlie greeted, sitting up from his laying position on the small couch. "Have a good time?"
"Hey dad, and yeah, it was great." I said, faking a yawn. "I think I'm going to bed."
"Sure, g'night, kiddo," he said slowly, raising an eyebrow.
"Night, dad," I mumbled, darting to the stairs.
