Chapter 8 LPOV
Bella left the room and Parker followed her towards the bathroom. Our orders were to guard her when she had to be left unattended, we could leave her with the Cullens but still had to remain nearby, so Parker had to sit outside the bathroom door while she showered and dressed.
I closed the bedroom door and turned to Edward who was sitting on the bed in his black and gold coloured room. The bed I presumed had not been there before Bella came along. Edward sat up a bit more on the bed and leaned back on the iron frame.
"So what do you need to talk about?" he asked, "You appear to be blocking your mind."
"Well I would rather get the words out before you here them in my head"
"Well then. Speak away." He patted the bed in front of him while he sat up and crossed his legs. I moved over and sat in front of him, mimicking his position: legs crossed, hands folded in my lap.
"Look, I, uh, wanted to say I'm sorry for, y'know, running away like that and just, ugh, I don't know, I'm sorry, for everything. God this is a lot harder than I thought it would be." I dropped my head into my hands and tried to recollect my thoughts and tried order them again. This had seemed like it was going to be easy last night when Parker had talked me into talking with the family. Each individual freakin member! Stupid Parker and his annoying cleverness. But he had had a point.
I felt Edwards hand gently tugging my head by the chin up from my hands "I think I get where your going with this and you know what? I forgive you" I raised my eyebrows "What? Am I forbidden to perform an act of kindness now?"
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair "Honestly though how can you just forgive and forget like that?"
"To tell the truth Luna I do not have a clue. Maybe it's just because it's you. Maybe Bella's helping me become a nicer person and less of the moody pain in the ass I used to be. But whatever the reason just because you are forgiven doesn't mean I've forgotten." Edward finished his little speech and I smiled. It had been a long time since I'd been on good terms with him and I was happy about that. I dropped my head back into my hands and muttered
"I don't deserve your forgiveness Edward." I said my voice muffled by my hands again.
"Yes you do Looney!" I smiled again. It had been decades since I had been called that. I used to hit him for it but this time it made me smile. A lot. "What?" he said, "Am I not getting hit for that? Come on you can't have lost your touch that quickly!"
I looked up "Edward after all I've done to the family you are actually going to just forgive me?" he nodded "oh for gods sake Edward people died because of me! People died because I just couldn't let my friends go. Rosalie's best friend died! God how the hell are you able to forgive me?" oh way to go Luna I thought just poor your heart out to someone who you shouldn't even care about anymore.
Edward tugged my head up again and he was much closer than I thought he had been. Suddenly Edwards mouth was on mine in a passionate kiss something I hadn't had since Parker had slept with the Spanish vampire. Somehow my hands wound up tangled in that fabulous bronze hair he had and one of his was wound in my hair and the other was at the small of my back tugging me closer. Damn ha hadn't lost his touch. This kiss was brilliant and he hadn't forgotten how to please me: there was a lot of tongue action going on.
Then I heard the door open and a gasp echoed through the room. Edward and I broke apart and saw Bella staring at us with an open mouth and wide eyes that were filling with tears. She bolted from the room and I heard her footsteps echoing through the house. Edward sprung from the door and was about to run after her when I called his name. He turned looking at me expectantly
"Edward" I panted as I tried to regain unneeded breath " let her think. Just leave her be. I know how she feels. She just needs time to get her thoughts together then we can explain."
"Ok then" he sighed running a hand through messy hair "but I need time to think. I think I'll, uh, go hunt."
I nodded and watched him leave then my eyes landed on Parker lingering in the doorway again and I couldn't ignore the betrayal and shock written all over his face. He turned away leaving me alone in Edwards room and I curled up in a ball on the black and gold covered bed and tried to come to terms with what I had done.
