A/N- I don't know how many of you read Blood Red Tears, but either way, the point is I'm juggling a lot of stuff right now, so updates are taking way longer than usual. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about this story!
MRS. MEYER OWNS ALL.
Chapter 5- JPOV
Last night long, I don't think I've ever felt so hot... that came out wrong... very wrong. Thankfully Edward, Emmett and Carlisle managed to get the living room fixed up again before Carlisle had to be back at the hospital. He hadn't had to go back yet. When he came in to check on her this morning, her temperature had gone down.
Now was the tricky part, I had to pry her off of me so I could go take a shower... "Bella, I have to go take a shower, I'll only be a couple minutes. Please don't cause any more havoc." surprisingly she let go without a fight.
I quickly went and had a cold shower, when I returned Bella was standing outside the door. That surprised me more than I thought possible. "Um, Bella? What are you doing? You're supposed to be laying down." she rubbed her eyes.
"I have to go to the bathroom..." she muttered, I let her by, frowning. I grabbed the empty glass on the desk and zipped downstairs to fill it up again. I headed back up to my room, only to meet Carlisle on my way.
"Go have a quick hunt and then come back." he said. So I took the glass and set it down on the desk in my room, and headed out to hunt.
As soon as I was in the woods, I could smell a deer nearby, not nearly as satisfying as human, but satisfying none the less. My thoughts were on Bella at the moment, I was wondering what she could possibly be destroying in my room, I shuddered, I didn't want to know.
As soon as I had fed off the deer I headed back to the house. Surprisingly the house was almost silent. I stepping in through the front door, expecting to hear something crash, but I didn't. I made my way upstairs and to my room, only to find Bella, sleeping peacefully, wet hair and all... wait, wet hair? I guess she had a shower too.
I went to slowly turn around, but she knew I was there. I turned back to her, but she just laid there peacefully. I turned back around and was about to leave, but couldn't? How could this human keep me here like this? I went back to the couch. I felt her skin, she had cooled down reasonably, but was still running a high fever.
I sat down on the couch, lifting her head slightly so it rested in my lap. I looked upon her gorgeous face, she looked so peaceful, trapped in different dreams, that not even Edward could read. I wondered what she was thinking about, but I had no idea.
I listened to her slowly steadying breaths. She rolled over slightly, pressing her face into my shirt, that's when I realized that she wasn't wearing her tank top anymore, but one of my tee shirts. I looked over at my drawers, expecting to see clothes strewn everywhere, but there was none to be seen. Surely she had to have done something... right?
I started looking all through my room, under things, over things, checking things, everything was in the exact place where I had left it. I checked the bathroom, even her tank top was neatly folded and sitting on the counter. Maybe she didn't do anything to my room... I zipped all around the house, but nothing was out of place... I went through my room, again and again, nothing. It was just, normal. I did another go over of the house. That's when I heard Emmett "What the hell happened here?!" I zipped down to the living room entrance to see it completely upside down. I swear it wasn't like that before.
How the hell did Bella manage to get all the way downstairs and mess up the whole living room in the five seconds I was gone? That's when it came to me... Bella hadn't done anything, I had been running around the house, flipping things over to see if there was absolutely anything out of place. That meant, the whole house was like this. I started cleaning up as fast as I could, and had the living room quickly done. I started working on the rest of the house.
It was around noon now, and I had almost the whole first floor done. I dragged my feet up the stairs to the second floor... I still had the third to do. I kept going and finally found myself on the third floor, despite the vampire speed, it had still taken about three hours. I was working on cleaning up the last room, I only had to put one thing back.
I was done, and I quickly headed back to my room, Bella sat there, her eyes watched me as I made my way hesitantly over to the couch. A few minutes later Carlisle poked his head in the door. "You're up?!" he sounded relieved. "So Bella, tell me why Jasper was the one to find you and not your father, or the hospital?"
"I didn't want to bother Charlie with it... and at the time, I figured it would pass..." she trailed off, her face scarlet. Carlisle frowned but left, probably confused. "I'm sorry you had to drag me all the way over here-" I pressed my finger to her lips and she quickly quieted.
"It really is no problem Bella, in fact it was rather amusing at times..." she froze. "You don't like Edward very much do you?" she shifted uncomfortably. "I don't think he's liking you much anymore, either... the cell phone did it." she gave me a questioning look. "You broke his phone... and almost Emmett's and Carlisle's... you shattered almost every breakable thing in the living room, we also made a few other... interesting, discoveries..."
"Oh, my god! I am so sorry!" she looked ready to cry.
"Bella, it's fine..." I said automatically pulling her into my arms, not really thinking that it might have just been because she was sick that she 'liked' me... I hadn't even thought of that. She surprised me, she pressed her face into my chest and curled up in my arms, just like before. Miraculously, her fever had dropped again, she was now just very warm. Her blood was so tempting, normally I would have given in by now, but I couldn't drink her blood, I just couldn't. She froze and then looked up at me?
"What kind of discoveries?" she demanded.
"Besides the fact that you hate cell phones? Let's see, you don't like Edward, you don't mind Emmett... you're a little uncomfortable around Carlisle..."
"And what about you?" she prodded, I was kind of hoping she would forget about me... not really but, it would be easier to not have to explain.
"We found that you like me best... and we found that out the hard way." she groaned and pressed her face into my chest again. "Is that assumption correct?" slowly, she nodded. "Yeeeesssss!" I said quietly. Her head snapped up.
"What did you just say?"
"Nothing, me, I didn't say anything!" I turned my head away. She took my face in her hands and turned my head back towards her.
"What did you just say?" she asked again.
"Nothing!" she narrowed her eyes.
"Ok, ok! I said; 'Yes!', I'm happy, I like you!" she looked at me surprised. Her hands dropped and she sat in shock. Then I did what was totally uncalled for, I quickly pressed my lips to hers. She didn't respond at first, then her fingers slowly started to wined into my hair. I finally pulled away when her scent started to become too much, my vampiric senses were going crazy.
"Sorry." she said immediately recoiled and tried to pull away, she should know by now, that I was much stronger than she was, at least when she wasn't sick. I took her face in my hands and slowly, carefully pressed my lips lightly to hers again, this time pulling back almost immediately.
She slowly opened her eyes. "I must be dreaming." she said before pressing her face into my shirt again.
