There are times when Edward's mind reading ability really comes in handy. At this very moment in my life however, it's not so handy for me. I constantly have to avoid my serious thoughts whenever Edward comes close to me. Which he does unnecessarily often, I guessed it was because he was trying to find a crack in my mind. A fracture of a second where I slip and think about the secret. That way, he would be there to hear it. Usually, I love my brother's presence, but right now he was getting on my last nerve.

That's why I decided to get away for a while. It also made sense because Bella was staying over for the weekend and I really had too much on my mind to have to worry about keeping my distance from a very delicious-smelling human.

"Rose, I can come with you." Alice told me for the hundredth time.

"No, Alice. You need to stay with Jasper and make sure he is careful around Bella. And to make sure the boys don't get into too many shenanigans."

She sighed. "Ok, Rose. If you don't want me to go." She hinted.

"Alice." I sighed. "This has nothing to do with me not wanting you to come with me. I need to be away from all the drama for a little while. Will you do something for me?"

She looked up and met my gaze with wonder. "What do you need?"

"I need for you to not look for my future. I don't want anyone else knowing this secret unless it is my absolute last resort." I told her firmly.

"Ok. Be safe. We all love you." She gave me a big hug and kissed me on the cheek. And let me walk out the door.

So this is how you plan on fixing it? My annoying voice chimed in my head. Going to his house? I was in my car, parked outside of his house. It's the only thing I can think of that will make things right. I answered my voice. And how exactly do you plan on making things right? The voice asked me. By walking through the doors and not leaving until I fix everything.

I bravely got out of my car and strutted to the door. When I rang the door bell I heard a boy's voice telling his mother to answer the door.

Then the door opened and a middle-aged woman was standing on the other side. I saw her expression turn from wonder to awe as she took in my beauty. Then comprehension lit her face as she realized who I was, her son must have told her all about me and apparently my appearance.

"we have long awaited your arrival." She marveled at me and stepped aside, gesturing for me to enter the house.

I stepped in and was surprised at how lovely the inside looked. Flowers were put out everywhere and their walls were painted a lovely shade of light brown. Someone raced down the stairs at the sound of my arrival.

It was him. And he was no different than how I remembered. He had long, black hair. With sexy light brown eyes. His muscles were toned and he wasn't wearing a shirt. He smiled at me the moment he caught my eyes.

"You have no idea have happy I am see you here." He smiled down at me with glowing eyes.

I smiled at him. "I am delighted to be here." I replied.

He reached out and took my hand. He led me upstairs and into his room. His bed was unmade but other than that it was moderately tidy. He had a few miscellaneous books out of his shelf and on the floor. Some dirty shirts were in a small pile in the corner. The radio was playing. I recognized the tune of a song by Muse.

"How did you get away from the other vamps?" He asked me casually.

"Bella came over and I told them I couldn't handle being around a human. It was too much of a risk, I wouldn't have been able to focus on not killing the poor girl."

"So, you decided to come and see me?" He smiled at me.

"You have explained to me what has happened. I know that it hurts you to be away. And I don't like causing people pain." I looked down at our hands. His was rubbing mine, tracing the top of my fingers.

"Are you actually telling me that you care about a werewolf?" He asked me playfully.

"Are you actually telling me that you care about a vampire?" I laughed with him.

"I guess I am. It's crazy how imprinting works isn't it?" He asked me.

"I never thought I would ever be in this position. In the arms of a werewolf."

"You know what? I think you smell very good."

I laughed. "You certainly smell better than you used to, to me anyway."

He was suddenly serious. He gazed intensely into my eyes. He raised free hand to touch my cold face. His warm hands burning with every touch. I closed my eyes as I took in this moment.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale, I am totally and completely and unconditionally in love with you. You are the whole reason for my existence. I am one hundred percent dedicated to you. Words can't describe how I feel about you."

"And I think I have fallen in love. Again. I can't help it. The commitment you have shown me is too hard to resist. I love you Embry Call."
