"Bella, please sit down…"

"No! I will not sit down!" I said, pacing the floors of my bedroom.

It was roughly one in the morning and I was still up talking to Edward about the danger that Charlie was putting himself in.

"Does she even care?" I asked, quickening my steps in frustration. Edward merely stared at me from his seat on the old rocking chair from my childhood days. "Does she even realize the problems this could cause!?"

"I do admit, this does cause a few issues for us to sort out…" Edward said, rubbing his neck in an awkward manner.

"A few issues?!" I couldn't help shrieking. I paused and waited for the sound of Charlie's snore. After hearing it, I whipped around to face Edward head on.

"Oh I can think of more than a few."

"Bella…"

"One." I said, sticking out a finger to quiet him. "She's not only a vampire but a succubus—"

"Former succubus, Bella—"

"Two." I continued as if he hadn't spoken, "This causes issues of Charlie finding out that not only is she a vampire but that I'm currently dating one as well!"

"He's not going to find—"

"Three, he'll be in constant danger! She could bite him at any second!"

Edward cut in, his voice sounding a bit angry, "You know, you're always in danger from me too!"

"That's different and you know it!" I answered back. "Oh, and what about the fact that she'll break his heart when she leaves?"

"What if they don't leave?"

"They better if they know what's good for them!" I answered back, alarmed at the prospect that they might be staying. "And the fact that she doesn't even care about him just makes it—"

"How do you know she doesn't care?"

"Please, Edward, you know how they think of men and humans for that matter."

Edward merely looked at me as I continued to pace the floors, only slightly careful enough to keep my steps quiet.

"That's my main concern though," I said angrily, "Is that she is simply going to hurt him! Maybe not by biting him but by breaking his heart and he has had enough of that. He wasn't even completely over Renee before she decided to stroll right into his life. I mean what the heck is she—"

The next thing I knew I was in a passionate kiss with Edward, his cold lips burning mine. I instantly forgot what I was ranting about and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in closer. As he pulled away, he smiled his breathtaking, crooked smile.

"You're amazingly beautiful when you're mad," he said, his voice silky smooth.

"D…don't try to change the subject," I managed to choke out, my head still spinning.

He sighed and ran his mouth up and down my jaw line. I felt my heart rate speed up and my breathing become ragged.

"Come on, do we really need to worry about this now?" he said, his lips gently rubbing against my ear.

I shivered, knowing that he had beaten me once again.

"I guess not…" I grumbled unwillingly. "But there is one more thing…"

"What's that?" he asked, his hand rubbing my back in a very distracting manner.

I pulled away and sat on my bed, mainly to clear my head.

"Billy."

Edward froze, and then nodded understandingly.

"Yes… that does pose a problem…"

Sighing, I leaned forward to rest my head on my hands. Edward sat cross-legged in front of my feet.

"Charlie is going to want to introduce Kate to Billy…"

Edward nodded, taking one of my feet into his hand. He began to rub it, his cold hands feeling surprisingly good on my feet.

"I don't doubt it," he said, "The do—I mean wolves are going to be quite upset to hear that Charlie is seeing a vampire…"

I nodded, although I was only half listening. Like so many other things, Edward was amazingly good at foot massages. Closing my eyes, I allowed my mind to clear as Edward massaged my foot.

"You really are good at everything aren't you?" I said finally, opening my eyes as he switched feet.

Edward merely laughed and continued rubbing my foot. I sighed, still distraught over the whole situation.

"Why couldn't Charlie have chosen a normal girlfriend?" I moaned.

Edward chuckled and looked up at me.

"Like father like daughter, I suppose."

I chuckled weakly, rolling my eyes. Edward was distracting me again by leaning forward to put his head in my lap. I rumpled his hair fondly.

"Well," he said, rising. "It's time for my human to sleep."

"I don't think I can tonight…" I said, sighing.

"Do you have other ideas what we can do then?" he asked, his voice unintentionally seductive.

I flushed at the possibilities of what we could do, if only I were also a vampire like him. Edward eyed me suggestively, raising an eyebrow, which only caused my blush to deepen.

"Oh, I don't know," I said, standing up to face him. "We could hitch a flight to Las Vegas and get married."

Edward laughed and scooped me up into his arms.

"Don't tempt me," he said, placing me into my bed. "I know you too well for that."

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"I mean, you're not ready." He said, climbing over me to lie next to me. "I know you aren't."

"Guilty as charged," I said, turning to face him. "I hope you don't take that offensively though…"

"I… sort of understand." He said hesitantly. "You're worried about your parents…"

"Yes, partly." I answered, "But it's also the fact that I'm just nervous about it… what if… after we're married… you don't want me anymore…"

Edward propped himself up by his elbow, looking down at me with utmost seriousness in his eyes.

"I'll always want you…," he said quietly, "Haven't I already told you that being away from you once was nearly enough to kill me?"

"Not literally kill you…" I muttered, looking away.

Edward grasped my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

"Bella, I want to be with you forever. I love you with all my heart and without you; there is no reason to remain alive. Even if the Volturi wouldn't kill me, I would simply find another way to die. Life without you has no purpose for me…"

"You can't kill yourself!" I exclaimed, "Not over me…"

"Try me." He said dryly.

I sighed, snuggling in close to him. I wished there was a way to prevent him from doing that act, even if I did die. Something that would prevent him from killing himself.

Then it hit me.

I smiled at Edward, closing my eyes as if to attempt to sleep, but in my head, a plan was forming.

Tomorrow, I would talk to Alice.

I know weird cliffhanger and this chapter is not quite as long as I'd like it to be but… shrugs please R &R!!!
