Instead of fighting his lips, I let him kiss me. We had an immeasurable moment of peace between us, and then he broke away.
"I'm going to miss your overreactions."
"I'm not," I grumbled.
"I'm also going to miss your blush. But, it's too late for that, I guess."
"Naw, you think?" I asked sarcastically. He grinned his breathtaking crooked smile. He pulled me close to him, place in cold cheek on my equally cold head.
Alice chose that moment to bang in.
"Yes!" she exclaimed. "My vision was right! It was freaking RIGHT!!!" She did a happy dance around the room, making Edward and I laugh.
Everyone else filed in to the room, Rosalie going, "What's all this commotion?" Alice grinned at Rosalie.
"Jeez, I really should stop betting against you," she grumbled while handing Alice a fifty.
"You'll never catch me betting against you Alice. I hope you know that," I laughed. Everyone joined in. After a while, everybody left leaving me with Edward again.
"So," he breathed on my neck with chills going up my spine, "now what do we do?" I gulped. I had an understanding of where he wanted this to go.
"Um." He laughed at my nervousness.
"Bella, I'm kidding. You know what 'kidding' means, right?" I glared up at him.
"Did I do something wrong?" he asked worriedly after a few minutes of staring at my vicious glare.
"I'm kidding. You do know what 'kidding' means, right?" He threw his head back and laughed. It surprised me when I actually laughed with him. That was twice I actually laughed after he left.
But now, I didn't have to think about the fact he left. Because he's here with me now. Most likely, he'll never leave again. Unless he wants to protect me again, which I don't think would be a problem. I mean, I am now almost completely unbreakable.
"So, what are we going to do?" he asked, this time in a formal tone.
"About?"
"Us, I guess." If I could blush, I probably would've.
"I thought we established we're back together now," I said quietly.
"Just checking," he said with a smile in his voice.
"You are so freaking mean!" I yelled playfully, and then I pushed him onto the couch. I wasn't used to being so strong, so I pushed him with a little more force than necessary.
"If I'm going down, you're coming with me!" he exclaimed, and he pulled me down too. He pulled and pulled, but with the heads up, I didn't falter from my position. He growled.
"Resisting isn't an option, missy." He pulled me down harder than ever, and I gave up. He held me there, his face close to mine. I didn't breathe or else he would hear it shaking, and I was also glad my heart couldn't beat, or he would hear it accelerate.
"What are you thinking?" he asked in his irresistible velvet voice.
"About how I'm glad you can't hear my heart beat any more." He laughed his soft musical laugh.
"Aw, it couldn't have been THAT bad knowing I could hear you heart go over 180 when ever I touch you."
"You wouldn't know. Your heart has never beat when I met you," I breathed. Finally, getting sick of all the pretenses, he kissed me.
I was delighted I was now a vampire, because there were no longer any restrictions. So when I overreacted this time, he didn't become immobile stone.
He actually did it back, his lips becoming more urgent, and hands knotting in my perfect hair. I, of course, was no better.
When he opened his mouth, I thought for a moment, and went after the opportunity.
After about 10 minutes of this, we heard a soft knock at the door.
Reluctantly, our lips parted, and I sat on his lip with my arms flung around his neck.
Alice walked in, with an alarmed expression on her face.
"Jacob Black is looking for Bella."
I jumped up and ran down the stairs at top speed, and gracefully stopped at Jacob. He looked down at me angrily.
"BERTHA SELLERS? BERTHA FREAKING SELLERS?" he screamed at me.
"Not so loud! My ears are sensitive goddammit!"
"I don't CARE about your ears! HOW could you do this to ME! How could you become a filthy BLOODSUCKER?" I just looked up at him, feeling terrible.
"I didn't do it on my own accord though." He looked at me disbelieving.
"You didn't?" I shook my head.
"It was a bit of a shock when I found out. But I didn't know that it would change this much. I guess I'm mistaken." He was shaking uncontrollably now.
"Jake, calm!"
"Yeah, calm," he panted. Finally, he quieted.
"Bells, this isn't good. This really isn't. Sam has to know. He won't be happy, but he really has got to know. I don't think this will result well, Bella."
"Jake, don't tell anyone! You can't! Tell Sam I went cliff diving and you couldn't find my body! Tell him something! Anything but that!"
"I can lie to Sam, Bella. It can't be done."
"Well then."
"What?"
"I guess I have to go down and explain to Sam myself."
And then I zoomed away.
