I am soooo sorry that I haven't updated in forever. This summer has been hectic and my mind has been occupied with other things, but I promise I will do my best to update more often now! :)
Chapter 6: Vampire Curiosity
Edward stared at me for a bit and then calmed down. He asked," So…you knew what I was…and you're o.k. with it?" I suddenly felt ashamed for some reason, so I looked down at my feet. Edward must have seen that because he said," Oh no…don't get me wrong. It's great that you think that about me…I'm just trying to understand how you could think that. Most people try to avoid our kind, with good reason too, but you don't."
My face perked up at his explanation and listened closer. Edward continued," My family is different. We're…you might call it "vegetarians." We only drink animal blood." I understood now and said," So that's why I had a feeling I could trust you. I somehow knew you we're different from other vampires."
Edward had a frieghtening and sad look on his face as he said," We may be different…but we're still dangerous." I didn't care about the danger…I just wanted to be with him. I said," And I don't care about that. I trust you, and I can handle the danger, just as long as I'm with you." Edward then looked sad and said" I don't know if I can trust myself not to hurt you. I already bruised your arms, trying to save you from getting hurt, but you ended up hurt anyway, by my own doing." I sighed and answered," And I don't care. If you haven't noticed…I'm a klutz! I get hurt all the time, even when it's not your fault. All I care about…is you." I smiled, then started blushing slightly.
He smiled me a tiny smile, and then walked up to me until his face was right in front of mine. I could feel the tension was exactly the same as earlier today. Then he did something I didn't expect. He reached up and stroked my cheek with his ice, cold, hand. My heart sped up and I started blushing madly. He chuckled and said," I love it when you blush." I blushed even more and stared into his topaz eyes. He chuckled again and asked himself," I wonder…" I was about to ask what he wondered about, but I didn't get the chance. Right after he said that, he leaned in, closing the space between us, and kissed me.
I was shocked. I hadn't expected him to move in that fast. My heart went crazy as soon as his lips touched mine, and then I kissed back. Our lips were moving against each other's almost rhythm like. I wrapped my arms around his neck and wound my hands into his hair. I must have crossed a boundary, because he quickly pulled back, almost too soon. Both us had uneven breathing, even though I'm guessing he didn't even need to breathe.
In my mind I was screaming: We just kissed! He kissed me! Oh my god, he kissed me! I said," Wow…" still out of breath. He chuckled and answered," Amazing…your heart went crazy! I'll have to remember to be more careful around you in the future." I giggled and asked," So…does this mean that you trust yourself? You were able to kiss me without…problems." He chuckled and smiled at me, so I took that as a yes. "So…does this mean we're going out? That you're my…boyfriend?" I didn't know if that was the right word to use in his case. He smiled and said," If that's what you want." I answered," Of course it is!"
Edward chuckled, and then asked," Do you want to meet the rest of my family now…in person?" I stiffened. I didn't know if I was ready for that yet. I answered," I thought you said they didn't approve of us…being together." He answered," That was because they were afraid you'd tell our secret when the time came to tell you what I am. They expected you to leave me and we're afraid you would expose us. Now, they have nothing to worry about!" He sounded happier now. I answered," O.k. then…why not." I was feeling brave and felt like I could handle almost anything. He smiled and held out his hand for me to take…for the first time. I reached out and took his cold hand into mine. Wow…this feels really nice. Not at all like I thought it would be like. Then we started walking towards his house to meet the rest of the Cullens.
