I had been having the most wonderful dream. At first I had been with my mom in Florida. But I didn't like it so I left. Edward took me to his house and finally gave in. He had bit me. At first, I was on fire. It felt exactly like when James had bit me a few months ago. But I had my guardian angel with me. He cooled my face. And eventually, the fire died out. I thought he was going to leave after I had changed. After all that pain, he might just leave me. What if I still wasn't good enough? But he quelled my fears. And he promised to never leave me. My Edward. Forever.
I knew it was still early, but something woke me up. A cool body on top of me. Edward. So I opened my eyes.
And there he was. Hovering right on top of me. I could feel my face heat up, but my body felt strangely cool. He scrabbled to my side, looking flustered.
"Bella. I didn't mean to wake you up. Um..." He visibly gulped. "It isn't what it looks like?"
Not what what looks like? I sat up. When I did, I felt my covers slip off my torso. My bare torso. Wait, what!? I pulled the covers completely over my head with a squeal, my face lit up like a tomato. "W-what the hell?!"
He took a step towards me looking guiltily at the floor. "I'm sorry." He muttered to my carpet.
Sorry for what? I wanted to ask. I peeked at the floor from under my covers. There, disregarded in a pile, were the clothes I wore yesterday. The clothes I had fallen asleep in. After spending the whole day with...
"Edward Cullen, you get out of my room right!" I shouted, sitting up in my bed. He looked up at me for half a second before he disappeared out of my open window. I wrapped my covers around my body and stormed to the window. After slamming it shut with a bang, I pushed the metal clasp to lock it. I saw him dash into the forest as I drew the curtains close. Good.
I dropped my covers to the floor and found my bag of toiletries. My green tank top and white capri pants lay on the chair. I snatched them up and raced into the bathroom, steaming.
I checked twice to make sure the door locked behind me and that the window in the small room was closed before I stripped out of my clothes. I never had to do that before. But now...
I growled as the water spilled out of the facet head. Cool water spilled into the tub below.
I turned the hot water up with a vengeance. After a few minutes, I jumped into the rain shower.
It was a little too hot for my taste, but I didn't really care. All I wanted was a minute to myself to think. I relaxed each muscle in turn, letting my mind wander for a bit before I assessed the Edward situation. I rinsed the strawberry shampoo from my hair and shut off the water. I yanked a towel from the rank and pulled it around my body tightly.
I hopped onto the counter and started the task of drying my hair. While I sat, I tried to understand just what the heck happened.
I remembered that Edward and I had spent most of yesterday in the meadow. He had held my tightly and told me everything he could remember about his mother while I listened. We had just talked. Nothing had hinted that Edward was going to-to try something.
I'd always held Edward up to such high respects when it came to our relationship. He was always a gentleman. Whenever a kiss threatened to get out of hand, he would cut it off, much to my dismay. So why now? Why did he pick today to start acting like the teenage boy he had been for the past 100 years?
A ringing from downstairs told me someone was calling. I hitched up my towel and walked down the stairs was care.
Charlie obviously wasn't home. I lifted the phone off the hook just as I spotted his note. A quick once over told me he would be home later this morning. "Hello. Swan Residence."
"Hi Bella!"
"Alice! Hey. How've you been?" I hadn't seen my tiny best friend all weekend. She had dragged Jasper on a shopping expedition in Los Anglos on Friday.
"Fine fine." She answered nonchalantly. "We hit about twenty stores yesterday before Jasper gave out on me. What a baby." A grumbled 'I heard that' was clear from him on the other line. Alice shushed him and continued. "So, how has your weekend been?" She asked.
"Um..." How was I to explain the single most embarrassing moment of my life? Oh, I just woke up to find your brother hovering over me as I lay in my bra and underwear? Yeah, just being casual about it. I groaned. "Alice, I'd rather not talk about it, if it's okay with you."
She sighed. "So her vision came true?" Jasper's low, attractive voice came over the phone. He seemed amused.
"What vision?"
I heard Alice trying to wrestle the phone back from her husband. "While we were hunting last night, Alice started to freak out. It's not everyday you see a miniature vampire scare away a two-ton bear by rolling on the floor with laughter." He snickered.
The sound of the phone being snatched away came over the line. "Shut up Jazz."
"Alice, what did you see?" I asked urgently, dreading her answer.
"Exactly what happened, of course. Edward undressing you."
I groaned in embarrassment, flailing my arms about. "I wish you would have called earlier!" I hissed into the phone.
She sounded confused. "Why? Edward could handle it by himself. It was no big deal."
"Handle what!? I wake up half naked and it's no big deal?" I took the cordless phone and walked back up to the bathroom.
Alice just laughed. "Oh! Well, what you thought was what I thought happened at first. You should have heard Jasper laughing." She squealed. "Jazz, put me down!"
"Bella, don't worry." Jasper came back on the line suddenly. "Edward didn't intend to do anything. Apparently, someone fell asleep in her clothes." I froze on my way into the bathroom.
"Yeah Bella." Now Alice was back. "You were mumbling something about it being too hot. So Edward thought it was because you were sleeping in your jeans. Jeans I bought you by the way. They looked great on you. Even if they were all wrinkled from you sleeping in them."
All the color left my face. Then, he wasn't trying...? And I said all that to him. Oh wow. I had messed up. "Great. Now I feel horrible about kicking him out of my room." More then that. I had basically accused him of being a pervert!
Jasper's quiet laughed came from the other line. I could feel my face glowing. Alice told Jasper what happened?! She was so dead.
"Seriously, Bella. Don't worry about it. From the mixed torment Alice saw on his face, your guess might not have been too far off." A loud crashing sound. "Alice! I was just telling her what you said. No need to jab me with your elbow-"
"You know Edward would never do anything like that, Jasper! You know that, too, right, Bella?" She sounded concerned. "Everything will be fine. But he'll want to explain everything to you himself." She paused for a bit. "Oh! I love that outfit. Nice pick, Bella. Edward will love it. Well, we should go. Edward's back. Go talk to him! Love you!" And then she hung up.
I sighed deeply as I pulled my clothes on. I should have known better. Of course Edward wasn't like that! How could I honestly think...? I shook my head as I pulled the emerald top over my head. I wiped off the steam from mirror and started to brush my hair back. I needed to talk to him. Now.
I dashed up to my room to find my sneakers. They were neatly lying on the floor at the end of my bed. Right were Edward had left them. My guilt doubled. Something moved outside. I opened the curtains a pinch to look out.
Edward's silver Volvo sat at the end of the street, just barely in view. And there he was himself, pacing near the edge of the forest. He stopped, turned on the spot and headed towards the house. His whole body shook as he sighed, freezing before he took a third step. Edward walked back to a tree and knocked his head against it. Repeatedly.
I dashed down the stairs as quickly as my legs would let me. So, of course, I tripped. Three times. I picked myself up off the ground and checked for bleeding injuries. None. Just scrapes in the surface.
I threw open my door and let the sunshine in. I blinked rapidly, searching for my Edward.
He still was by the forest. But he had stopped banging his head now and was sitting cross-legged on the floor in the shadows provided by the trees. His eyes were focused on the ground as I hurried to him. Edward flinched back as I stopped in front of him and knelled down.
"I'm really sorry about this morning, Bella." He whispered so low I had to strain to hear him. "I'm not even sure what else I could say-"
"You're forgiven." He gazed at me with shameful eyes. "No really, you're off the hook. Alice and Jasper called to tell me what really happened." I blushed slightly. "Now I have to apologize for thinking that-" Edward cut me off as he dragged me into a hug.
"I've never been more thankful for Alice's gift." Edward drew me closer, folding my legs under me as I sat in his lap.
I nuzzled my head under his chin. "Me either."
