New Life, New Family, Old Friends

CHAPTER 6

Adrian's POV:

6 Months Later~

It has been six whole months since I found Bella in the woods. And I don't regret any minute of it. Bella and myself have grown closer and have become inseparable.
I have feelings for her that I have never felt for any else before. The more I'm near her the more I want to hold her hand and touch her.

I can't get her out of my mind. I know I'm not supposed to have these feelings for her. I mean she is just so beautiful. Everything about her.
Her quirky smile, biting her full lips, and even more surprising since she has become a vampire, she is still a bit clumsy. Not as much as before I'm told, but still slightly clumsy.

I think I'm in Love with Isabella.

Bella's POV:

It's been six months since Adrian and I have started our makeshift family. And I'm happy. He makes me feel safe, loved, cherished, and so much more. I know I shouldn't, I mean I only just got over Edward a couple of months ago, but I think I love him.

A lot has happened between us since that fateful day. Charlie even came and visited. He has told me that he and Sue are getting married next year. I was shocked to say the least. But I'm glad for him. He deserves it.

Renee has called non-stop, even though she's not my real mother. She insists on making sure I'm safe and happy. I'm happy that I had the chance to have them as my parents. I don't regret a single thing. Surprisingly, I don't regret ever meeting Edward either.

If he didn't come into my life and leave me there, in that forest. I probably wouldn't be who I am, and where I am today. So for that, I'm thankful.

Adrian and I are laying on the couch in the lounge room watching TV. I'm making him watch Vampire Diaries, he hates it, hehehe. I like comparing them to us and it's not much different.

Adrian and I have lived of many different supplies of blood. The best and our favorite is Human Blood. It was only a week after I changed that my thirst for blood became an issue. An Original's hunger can be sustained for a month at most. I was too side tracked before to even notice the slight burning in my throat.

Unlike the Cold Ones, our bite is not venomous. We can drink and erase the memory of the human who we drank from 'Just like vampire diaries, as I told Adrian, makes me wonder if an original helped write it hehe.' It makes it easier for us and especially for me. I didn't want to hurt anyone and once Adrian told me about how we hunt and erase. My mind was at ease and it didn't kill or hurt anyone. At most the Humans would be tired from the blood loss.

The last episode of season 1 finished and I just looked up at him from his shoulder and smiled, waiting …. Waiting. Hahaha,
his face was wide eyed as he stared blankly at the television screen. I couldn't help myself but lean forward and kiss his check softly, an then quickly get up to go to the kitchen for a blood bag. Before I could take my third step he'd stood up and was in front of me before I could blink.

Raising his hand slowly he cupped my left cheek and smiled at me. He leaned forward and kissed the tip of my nose with a smirk and went into the kitchen leaving me in a bit of shock. 'What just happened?' I followed after him in shock and watched as he grabbed a blood bag and heated it up in the microwave.

He ignored my presence until he had the contents in a glass and on the island in front of me. "Thirsty?" he asked. 'What is he up to?' I reached for the glass and took a long sip. He just stared intently at me. I put it back down and he drank the rest.

"Adrian, what was that?" he smirked "What?" I sighed in frustration. "The kiss." His smirk grew "What kiss? You started it." "Did not!" he put the glass in the dishwasher and put the bag in the bin. "Sure sure.. If you wanted a kiss you could have just asked." He turned and faced me with a shit eating grin.

"In your dreams, pretty boy." I walked back into the lounge room and plopped onto the couch. Picking up the remote I scanned the TV for something interesting to watch. Nothing. I sighed and turned it off. All the while Adrian was watching me intently from the doorway.

I turn and face him, watching him watching me. Slowly I get up and walk to him, moving in as close as our bodies will allow, reaching up wrapping my hands around his neck and softly press my lips to his. Its sweet, gentle and exactly what I had imagined it would be like. He doesn't respond for all of 10 seconds before he kisses me back with fiery passion.

I pulled away to look at his face. He had confusion, shock and what looked like love shinning in his eyes. What? Love? No it can't be, I'm just being delusional. "What was that for?" he asked. I thought momentarily. "I don't need to ask to kiss you." I stuck my tongue out and smirked.

Adrian's face lifted from shock to a grin. "Well neither do I then." He stated as he reached down, lifted my chin and kissed me again. This went on a few more times before his sudden outburst of feelings.

"Bella I love you." He stated clearly with a serious expression. "What?" I asked dumfounded. He ran a hand through his brown messy hair. "I love you. I have for a while now, I just couldn't get up the courage to say it." Wow. 'It can't be. I thought it was just me!'

I smiled at him and hugged him from the front "I love you too." I whispered. He of course heard me and pushed me gently away and looked into my eyes. "Really?" I smiled up at him "Yes." He pulled me back towards him with force and hugged me tight. "I never thought I'd hear the day that you return my feelings." I could hear the love and sincerity in his voice.

I pulled back from our embrace, took his hands in mine and smiled up at him. "I'm so thankful that you found me Adrian."
