Chapter 7
"Are you aware, you just spent the night, alone, in a hotel with a Vampire, on the outskirts of town? You just risked your life quite severely," smirked Edward.
"When we were driving here, I was waving goodbye to mum and she looked like she was about to jump in the car and come with us to make sure we didn't get up to anything. And Charlie looked slightly green as well," I laughed, before shoveling another piece of pancake into my mouth, "Esme didn't seem to really mind about our little trip. In fact, she actually slipped a little mischievous smile when we were leaving," I laughed, remembering Esme's secret smile.
As I was eating I looked into Edward's eyes, they were the blackest I had ever seen them. Hollow and lifeless, though he didn't have a soul (which I was positive he did).
"Edward…your eyes, they're pitch black," I said worriedly. Edward hesitated slightly.
"Bella…I didn't want to tell you this, and I don't regret last night… not at all," he grinned to himself, "But you have no idea how hard it was… not to take you. I could've so easily done it, just one slip up. And also…I felt that… maybe I went to fast for you…if you know what you mean."
Edward's voice was filled with guilt.
"Well…I don't actually mind that much…about the…cough fastness," crimson crept up my cheeks and Edward laughed at me.
"I guess last night was just extremely difficult…though, at a certain moment not. I felt almost human for a moment. My skin felt live, I was warm. You have no idea how amazing that made me feel, and it's all thanks to you," he smiled.
"And…please be honest…was it that hard?" I asked cautiously. Edward hesitated.
"There was one point…where I almost…. I almost bit you. Bella, you have to be careful, just because we got last night right, doesn't mean we can do that whenever we want. You see how my eyes are this morning. It's not safe if I'm hungry," he said sadly.
I reached over and grabbed his long slender finger and intertwined them with mine.
"Edward, I know that. It's okay, I know you have limits to your control."
"I keep telling you I'm not perfect."
I rolled my eyes.
"Alright I really need a shower," I said, shoveling down the last piece of food.
"Yeah me too…you know, we could save water?" he grinned. I slapped him on the shoulder.
"That's the worst pick up line I think I've ever heard," I replied.
"I was joking," he laughed.
"Yeah I know," I smiled, turning my head to watch him as I walked into the bathroom. He blew me a kiss and I smirked at him.
The warm water beat my shoulders, relaxing my tense muscles and helped me relaxed. I took my time to think.
I sighed as I remembered last night. It was amazing. But in the back of mind, a little thought went out to Jacob. What if I had never moved to Forks, never met Edward? Would Jacob be the one standing in the hotel kitchen right now?
A thought came to me, if Edward hadn't send out that invitation, Jacob would never have run away and he would've never found her… Jade.
If it weren't for Edward, Jacob would still be in love with me. I almost slapped myself then. How could I have thought that? I had chosen Edward. It was unfair to Jacob and to Jade to feel like this. I hated myself, but I couldn't help feeling jealous.
----------------------
JACOB'S POVI could tell that she was jealous. The looks she sometimes gave me, and her body language. I laughed to myself. I was slightly enjoying this, maybe more than I should.
I loved Bella. But Bella next to Jade, I just couldn't compare. I looked down at her, curled into the crook of my arm. She looked so innocent, peaceful. I just never thought this could happen to me. After I had gotten to know Bella over the past few years, I had grown to be in love with her.
I felt amazing when I was with her, I could tell her anything. I had grown so close to her, I loved her and cared for her. And when she had chosen him…over me. I just never thought I could find anyone else. But a beautiful miracle came to me.
I partly had the bloodsucker to thank, if it weren't for him sending that invitation, I wouldn't have run away, and I may have never found her.
My brow creased as I thought about where Bella was right now. I wondered if it had happened yet. I'm not sure if I wanted to know if it had, I may not be in love with Bella anymore, but I still cared so much for her.
Will she still be the same Bella I know and love? How can I live with wanting to kill her every time I'm with her, her scent burning my nostrils?
I may have found my one true love, but I loved and cared for Bella. Maybe it was time to separate myself from her. Jade might be in danger. Maybe it would be best if I just stayed away from Bella.
But for now I'll enjoy that jealousy- while it lasts.
--------------------------------------
"Bella, you know we could stay here for a little bit longer," Edward suggested eagerly, smiling innocently. I glared at him.
"I know what your trying to do, but I'm going to be like you soon, no matter how much you delay it it's going to happen eventually," I said. Edward's brow creased with worry, and slight anger.
"Bella…are you absolutely sure your ready for this? I still don't think you fully understand what you're getting yourself into. You know, there's nothing to make you rush your decision."
"Edward, I'm definitely ready for this. I want this so bad. I just want to be with you forever," there was complete sincerity and honesty in my voice, and Edward knew that. He sighed, but smiled at me, touching his long slender fingers to my face.
I felt myself grow red beneath his touch, my heart quickening. Edward chuckled.
"I'm going to really miss that."
"Let's go home Edward."

AN: Yeah, this chapter was a bit of a short, not really interesting chapter. But it's leading up to bigger events and I want the story to build instead of having action action action. Thanks for the support guys, sorry I didn't update in awhile, I was on camp. But school's over now, so I have no more work or exams so I'm free to write whenever I want!
