A/N:

I didn't get 10 reviews. I only got six, but that's close enough.

Ain't I sweet?

Moving on, I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed!

It makes my day and makes me want to update faster.

So, again a BIG THANKS!

Also, this chapter is where Edward starts getting a little more forceful and demanding. But there will be no abuse or anything, just a little darker, sexier Edward. *swoons*

I kissed him again, savoring the moment.

"I must be going, Bella. I have other matter to tend to. But, I'll see you again tomorrow, so get some sleep, love." He kissed my forehead and gently slid me off his lap.

He walked toward the front door and vanished.

----*----

BPOV

Arghh!

That man or vampire infuriated me to no end.

He waltzes in my life like he owns me and then I break up with the guy that has always been there for me and it turns my life upside down.

Great.

Just what I needed.

And for what exactly? I wasn't even sure why I did that. What was this gaining me? What was his purpose?

And the damn man can't even give me any explanations whatsoever!

Nothing.

Nada.

Zero.

Goose egg.

Life's peachy ain't it?

You will learn soon enough, my Bella.

Get out of my head! And how do you even do that? I shouted in my head.

I am a vampire, Bella.

So? What does that have to do with anything?

It has everything to do with it. Now sleep my love. You need your rest.

I wasn't sleepy though. And why is Jesus' name was he bossing me around for? I wasn't a child.

Believe me, Bella. I have felt first hand that you are no longer a child.

And I swore I could actually here him chuckling in my head.

Blushing at his statement, I sat on my couch and I vehemently told him I wasn't going to sleep. I wasn't tired and I could do what I please.

Bella, you will go to sleep. You need your strength, if you are to be strong enough for what I have planned for you.

And what is exactly is that? I thought at him.

Enough talking. If you do not go to sleep, I will just have to make you. Which one would you prefer? The easy or the hard way?

He wouldn't. He couldn't make me do anything I didn't want to.

Do not test me, Bella. I am not one to be fooled with.

I snorted at that.

Try me, I challenged.

And then my head felt dizzy and suddenly I felt as if I had just run the Tour de France.

My arms and legs felt like lead and my eyes shut of their own accord and then darkness overtook me as I fell on the couch.

----*----

BAM!

I jumped up quickly and swayed as my body fell back on the couch.

Looking around my apartment, I was in a daze.

Why the hell was I on my couch?

And then I realized it.

Edward.

That stupid vampire did something to make me fall asleep. But now that I thought about I did feel really rested.

Like I had just gotten 24 hours of sleep; I felt really rested and my body felt good.

Carefully, I sat up off the couch and tried standing up.

Wobbling slightly on my legs, I stood up and walked into my kitchen, looking for something to eat.

I was starving.

Opening up the pantry, I stuck my hand in and grabbed a bag of popcorn.

It fell out of my hand and I bent down to retrieve it off the floor. That's when I felt something behind me, a presence near me.

Still bent over, I was afraid to look behind me—afraid of what I was going to find.

Everything in the kitchen was silent and I was straining my ears to hear anything. Maybe I was just being paranoid.

And then I heard a voice mumble "perfect "behind me.

Everything in my body roared to life and I knew who it was behind me.

Quickly, I stood up and turned around to come face to face with none other than Edward.

Perfect. I thought, just perfect.

"Do you always have to do that?" I asked, irritated.

He chuckled. "Do what, my Bella?"

"Sneak up on me like that. I don't like it. And stop calling me that."

He frowned. "But you are my Bella."

I shook my head. "I am not anyone's. Not you, Jacob's or anyonelse's for that matter. So why can't you leave me the hell alone?" I all but yelled.

His beautiful deep, green eyes became dark and his face turned angry.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him.

"I do like a little fire in my women, but I will not be talked to in that manner. So either mind your manners or you will be punished." He growled.

I scowled at him.

"I don't think you—"I started, but was cut off with his lips.

He pressed his lips against mine and softly kissed me.

I sighed and opened my mouth and his tongue darted in.

We kissed for what seemed like an eternity, until Edward pulled back and we were both breathing heavily.

"Wow." I breathed.

He laughed and the sound was almost musical. "That's exactly what I was thinking, love."

I stared into his eyes and noticed that our noses were almost touching. I brought my hand up and ran it through his hair.

I had wanted to touch it since the first day I saw him. His hair was an unusual color, but it was soft and my fingers floated through it like silk.

"Your hair is so soft." I murmured.

Bringing my gaze back to his face, I noticed that his eyes were closed and his face was peaceful.

"You like that?" I teased.

"You have no idea." He whispered; his eyes still closed as if he was memorizing my touch.

I withdrew my hand from his hair and his eyes fluttered open. We gazed into each other's eyes.

"You don't know how it's tortured me; being so close to you, but never touching you. And now that I've felt your touch, I'm never going you give you up. You will be mine forever."

My heart skipped a beat as he said forever and my pulsed race.

That's all I ever wanted to be was his forever. To stay with him and never let go of him.

He was mine.

Edward grabbed my arms and threw them around his neck and drew me close, smothering his face in my hair.

"You smell wonderful." He said and I could feel his breath on my neck.

I melted.

Abruptly, he pulled his head back and released me.

"Before I forget, there are other things that need attending to. Be ready tonight, Bella. I will come for you."

He pulled me in for another kiss and I swooned at his touch.

The minute he vanished, reality sunk in.
