I'm sorry everyone… I have worked out a new system so I hope to be posting more often!

This is the second part of ch. 4

And no…I don't own twilight

I smiled and turned around to look at her, but saw Edward standing in the doorway. He was looked as if he felt slightly out of place.

You are always welcome here, Edward, I thought, knowing he would hear me. He smiled and nodded but still looked unsure.

Esme too turned and looked at Edward. He made a greater show of feeling content, no doubt feeling the need of it from her mind.

"Are you two ready to go?" asked Edward. We nodded in response. "All right then, I must admit, I have never swam in a private pool, just the ocean. Shall we head down?" He headed downstairs as Esme and I followed. It was just like him to get excited about something, but for some reason, his actions didn't ring true. I felt like he was putting on a show for us.

By the time Esme and I had reached the patio door, we were just able to see Edwards feet disappearing into the water. I smiled wryly to myself.

"Perhaps he only came home for the pool?" Esme remarked sarcastically. It truly wasn't her best joke, but her words did succeed in making my laugh. It was amazing how she was always able to lighted my mood; just by hearing the quiet optimism in her voice, I though that maybe, just maybe, everything would be alright again.

I looked at her and just couldn't help kissing her lightly on her full, alluring lips. She really has to be one of the most beautiful creatures in this world. I pulled away from the kiss, for I felt someone watching me. Treading water in the deeper end of the pool, Edward was watching us: again, looking as though he felt slightly out of place.
