First of all I want to say sorry for taking so long to update! I have not been living at home for the past week and thus have been without internet. :(

Thank you for all the reviews! I never imagined that I would make it up to a hundred plus reviews and a little over 10,000 hits! I love each and every one of my reviewers and fans!

On a side note, for those of you who are Jacob fans, don't worry. He will be showing up again in either next chapter or the one after that.

Enjoy and Review!!

We sped down the highway, Edward never letting up on the speed until we had crossed into Idaho. My mind constantly wandered to Jacob, wondering what he was doing and where he was. The sun was beginning to lower in the sky and the scenery was beginning to darken.

We had said little during the ride, myself lost in thought over my former best friend and Edward thinking about who knows what. After a while, the silence began to eat at my nerves and I decided to ask Edward some things that had been nagging on my conscience for the past few days, to get my mind off the present situation.

"What are you going to miss most about me being human?" I questioned.

He looked over at me with a contemplative look in his eyes. "Well, there were many good aspects to you being human. For one, I could hear your heartbeat from miles away. It was the strongest sound in the world to me. The other would probably be your blush. It was so adorable and beautiful to see the blood pooling to the surface of your skin," he told me.

I sighed to myself. Now I all those things were gone for him. Was I worth it now?

He continued after a moment. "However, there are so many more wonderful things about you now that I could never even dream of. You are much less breakable, for which I am glad. Now I won't have to worry about crushing some part of you whenever I touch you. Also, you are more coordinated now." I shot him an incredulous look. He continued quickly, "I loved your clumsiness Bella, but the way you move now, it is absolutely mesmerizing. You are the most stunning and beautiful creature that I have ever met, and I cannot peel my eyes from you whenever you walk."

The car began to slow and I was slightly confused. We had over half a tank of gas. Edward began to speak once more though, "And one of the best parts is that I can kiss you now the way I have wanted to kiss you for a long time." The car stopped and Edward pulled to the side of the road. He cut the engine and turned off the headlights.

I looked over to ask him why he had stopped but his mouth was on mine before I could form a single word. It was absolutely breathtaking, the way he kissed me. I lost all recollection of the events that had just occurred as I was swept into the passion of the moment. It was even better than when he had kissed me in the woods during my first hunt.

There were no longer any boundaries and no hesitations. There was a forceful edge to Edward's kiss, but one of pure love, not of malice. I could not get enough of him and the feeling was mutual it seemed. We stayed kissing for many moments, drinking in one another's glory. However the moment was ruined, like always, with an interruption.

Edward's phone began to buzz and undoubtedly Alice was the caller. I could hear her voice through the receiver lecturing Edward. "Sheesh, you two really do need to get a room when you get to New York. Do you think you can focus enough of your energies just for a few hours to get far enough away from Forks? I can see both of your futures for now which is a good thing, but I still have no idea where the wolves are. We will all be on the road in less than 10 minutes." Without even waiting for a reason, the line went dead and Edward just sighed at the phone. Oh Alice, having to ruin our fun.

Edward looked over at me with an apologetic look mixed with a smile. "Leave it to Alice to see everything that we do," he chuckled. He then turned the key in the ignition and began speeding down the road once again.

"So we are going to New York?" I questioned.

"Yea, we own a house in Binghamton New York. We haven't stayed there in a long time and it really is a wonderful place to live, despite the overabundance of clouds. I don't find it nearly as rainy as Forks though which you should find as a welcome change," Edward responded with a grin. He was right of course. I had loved the people in Forks but the climate was not one to my liking. Clouds would be good because we could go out in the day without worrying about the sparkling skin aspect.

"Also, I think you should hunt love," Edward continued. "We wouldn't want to run across any humans unaware in our journey." I realized that we were in a very dense forest and that there had been no signs of human activity for quite a while. Edward pulled the car over once again, and we stepped out.

There was a slight rain coming down and it smelled wonderful. The scent of the lush wet greenery was very appealing. Overpowering that smell however, was the call of an animal's blood. My instincts threatened to take over, but I held back. I needed to learn self-control.

I stood there fighting my internal battle, my body rigid as a board. I felt a cool hand on my shoulder and gazed up into Edward's eyes. "I am proud of you for trying to exercise such self-control love, but you really must hunt. Let the instincts take over. There are no humans for a very long time," he said. I gave him a slight nod before I took off running.

I was upon the deer within seconds, sinking my teeth into the soft flesh and snapping the neck in almost the same instant. The warm liquid hit my throat and I began to once again drink in all the glory. I drained the beast of all its fluid and raised my head from the flesh.

I looked over to see Edward staring at me with hesitance. I let my instincts subside and I gracefully walked over and wrapped my arms around his neck. He nuzzled his face into my neck and threaded his arms around my waist. "You are simply stunning Bella," he mused into my neck. I smiled into his shoulder and we stayed locked in our embrace for a few moments.

All too soon I heard the blaring of a car horn a couple miles away. Edward chuckled and stated, "I can only assume that Alice has caught up with us. We should get going love."

We quickly ran back to the car and sure enough Alice was waiting in her bright yellow Porsche parked behind my roadster. I saw the Vanquish with Jasper behind the wheel behind her, along with Rosalie in her BMW, Emmett in his Jeep, Esme in the Volvo, and Carlisle in the Mercedes bringing up the rear. Quite a parade of expensive cars we had going.

Edward shot a glare at Alice but she simply smiled back at him. I heard him grumbling under his breath as we slipped back into the seats of the Lexus. The engine purred to life and we were soon speeding down the road again.

We sped across the country, driving through the night and into the morning. We drove the whole next day as well, stopping a couple times to refill the gas tanks.

Around dawn of next morning, we passed a sign saying 'Welcome to New York.' We continued for another few hours before passing into the Binghamton city limits. Edward steered the car down what appeared to be a deserted road. After about five miles, he slowed the car to a stop in front of a house even bigger than the one in Forks.

It was a modernized Victorian complete with a turret and everything. It was sided with a light gray vinyl and white trim adorned the entire house. It was absolutely breathtaking.

I heard all the other cars pull to a stop around us in the huge driveway. I stepped out of the car and realized the lack of a moving truck. Where was all the furniture?

My question was soon answered as Edward steered me to the door and led me across the threshold. The entire house was already furnished with pieces that were extremely similar to the ones that had been in the house in Forks. I even saw an identical piano occupying a majority of the space in the sitting room. I walked over to it and ran my fingers lightly over the ivory keys.

Edward came over to sit on the bench, pulling me down next to him. His fingers began to dance over the keys with the melody of my lullaby filling the room. Hearing it played on the piano in person was such a moving experience. If I could still cry, my eyes would be brimming with tears.

Edward finished with the last note and I threw my arms around him burying my head in his shirt. He laughed softly and wrapped his arms around me. I breathed in his ever intoxicating scent and slowly stood up.

He gave me my favorite crooked smile and pulled me to my feet. "Time for the grand tour," he said. (A/N: I am not going to get into the full layout of the house. Basically it is just a New England style rendition of the house in Forks.)

After touring the downstairs of the house, Edward pulled me up two flights of stairs to his room. I walked in the door and was thrilled to see that his room was located in the upper floor of the turret. It was a rounded room with a black leather sofa and a complex looking sound system. The racks for the CDs were bare but I assumed that Alice had packed those up back in Forks.

As I twirled around, my eyes came to rest on my true love. He was standing there watching me with a smile creeping onto his face. I stopped and glared at him. "Why are you just staring at me?" I demanded.

"No reason really," he said with a smile on his lips. "I just realized that we are going to need to buy a bed for this room now."

I gawked at him. "And why are we going to need a bed now that I don't sleep?" I questioned teasingly.

"Oh I can think of a few reasons," he murmured. The next second I was flying through the air as Edward pounced on me. He locked me against his chest with his strong arms as we collided with the sofa. I was momentarily stunned. I would never have guessed him to use that move again!

He showered kisses across my body as I stayed locked in his grasp. I did not struggle though for I was perfectly comfortable pressed against his cool body. We stayed engulfed in the affection between our two bodies, absorbing one another's forms.

I heard a pounding on the door and Jasper's voice rang through the wood, "Would you two calm down please? Your raging feelings are making me feel slightly nauseous." I heard a slight groan from the other side of the door.

I laughed and wiggled out of Edward's grasp. He gave me a pouty look but I just lightly kissed his lips. "We will find somewhere a bit more private later love. I promise," I said to him and winked. His sulky look quickly turned into one of contentment and he stood up to join me.

We walked over to the door and opened it to find a sick looking Jasper. I laughed at him and he glared at me. I was suddenly over come with emotion of passion and intimacy. It was indeed slightly sickening when not in the heat of the moment. "Now imagine that time about a hundred and you get what I am feeling," he commented.

I giggled and mouthed a quick apology to him before allowing myself to be led downstairs to talk with the rest of the family.

Ok, question time. I really want to make it more romantic between Edward and Bella and I wanted your opinions. Should I change the rating to M and make things more steamy? Or leave it the way it is? I am leaning towards changing the rating but I would love the input of my fans.

Please review!! Please! (gives you all puppy dog eyes)
