I Know What I Am
You think I look the best
When my hair is a mess
I can't believe you exist
I could get used to this

Chapter 7: I Could Get Used To This
I woke the next morning with a start. Was yesterday all a dream?
"What's up love?" Edward asked.
"N-nothing, I just thought that I was dreaming about yesterday but your really here!" I exclaimed. "Do I need to pinch myself?" I joked.
"Nope, I am here, you aren't dreaming." He chuckled.
I smiled then sleepily curled back up under the covers. I was just drifting back off to sleep when a startling thought occurred to me.
"Holy hell what time is it, we've got school!" I shouted, sitting bolt upright and snapping my head in the direction of the clock. It was twelve in the afternoon. I looked at Edward incredulously.
"Why didn't anybody wake me up?" I moaned. I didn't mind being late but that just meant that everybody would notice me. I've changed in many ways but I'm still the shy girl that I always was.
"Well Alexis did come to wake you but after I saw you go out like a light as soon as you hit the pillow last night, I thought that you might need a nice lie in. Besides, we've got the whole day to ourselves now." He grinned whilst running his lips along my jaw. All conscious thoughts flew out of the window at that moment.
"Mr Cullen are you trying to lead me astray? I'm a good girl you know." I said in mock shock.
"Maybe..." He smirked. I just laughed and got up to take a shower.
I hurried as I washed my hair, quickly washing out the shampoo. I wanted to get back to Edward a.s.a.p!
As I stepped out I realised that I had no clothes to change into. Oops!
I wrapped a towel around myself and tentatively walked out of the bathroom, Edward had changed into a pair of jeans and a black shirt. Sneaky man.
His eyes widened as soon as he saw me, wrapped only in a towel. A low growl was emanating from his chest and, boy, was it sexy!
He moved so quickly, I had no time to react.
Edward grabbed me and threw me, lightly, to the bed. We had never gone this far, he had always been too afraid of hurting me. There was no need to worry about that now.
I giggled girlishly as he climbed on top of me and proceeded to kiss all along my collarbone. With only a towel wrapped around me, all of my feelings became more intense.
It felt like a live wire was shooting up my body, everywhere Edward's lips touched.
When he finally brought his lips to mine I reached up and tangled my hands in the back of his hair, this earned me another growl from him. His tongue brushed my bottom lip, asking for entrance which I gladly gave him. We had definitely never kissed like this! I wasn't complaining though, I loved it.
"You are a far too tempting for your own good Bella." Edward breathed as we pulled away.
"Well you know, we Sirens were known for being temptresses." I joked as I sat up, securing the towel again to make sure it didn't fall down.
"Don't I just." Edward muttered.
"Now if you don't mind I was trying to get dressed before you distracted me." I said in mock anger.
"But you liked it." He smirked. I shrugged, I had to give him that one.
After I was dressed we headed to the kitchen so that I could get some breakfast.
"It's odd that you can eat but you don't use the bathroom, where does it go?" He asked, poking my belly.
"Straight to my thighs!" I joked. He laughed at that.
"But seriously, I have no idea where my food goes."
Edward walked over to the radio and switched it on. A recent pop song came blasting through the speakers. I began to sing along softly.
"Edward, could you pass me the bread please." I said as I began to slice cheese, I was making cheese on toast.
Edward didn't reply, in fact, he didn't move.
I spun round to see him standing there, in the spot where I left him, his eyes were glazed over and he was looking at me in awe.
"Edward, hellooooo... Earth to Edward." I shouted, waving my hand in front of his face.
When that didn't work I began to shake him lightly. When that still didn't work I shook him harder. He still didn't respond.
I couldn't understand what had happened. I thought back to what had happened before he had gotten all hypnotized.
He had gone and switched the radio on and then I started singing...
Oops!
EPOV
It was like a mist had clouded my eyes, I couldn't see properly, there was a fog in the room.
An angel voice was calling me, singing to me. There was a small sense of foreboding to the voice but I allowed myself to be sucked into it anyway.
I wanted to go to the voice but I couldn't move, she had frozen me in place with the sound alone.
Then, as suddenly as the singing began, it stopped.
The angel came forwards and started speaking to me, I felt something cold hit my face but I couldn't respond, I just wanted to hear her sing again.
I smiled at her, hoping that it would make her sing to me but instead she threw her head back and shrieked in pain.
Suddenly the mist cleared and I found myself back in Bella's kitchen, my hair was damp and Bella was stood in front of me looking relieved.
"What just happened?" I didn't recognize my own voice at first, it was a little shaky.
"I... I kind of hypnotized you. Unintentionally, of course!" She looked sheepish.
I didn't understand.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Have you heard the legends of Sirens enticing men from ships with their voices?"
I nodded.
"They aren't legends, they're true." She exclaimed.
"Oh."
"Because you are my mate, my singing draws you in more than it would draw anyone else in." She continued.
"Why did you scream in pain?" I said. I was worried that she might have hurt herself but then I remembered that she was almost as strong as me now.
"That's the only way to snap you out of it." She smiled.
"Bella, just out of interest, why is my hair damp?"
"Oh that, I forgot how to un-hypnotize you at first so I just threw water over you." She laughed.
I said nothing, I just walked over to the sink and flicked the cold water at her.
She yelped in shock and flew at me. I caught her easily and began tickling her mercilessly.
"Stop... STOP!" She squealed in between jagged breaths.
"Are you sorry?" I grinned playfully, still tickling her.
"Y-yes!" She gasped.
I let her go and we both stood in the middle of her kitchen, laughing like idiots. No, laughing like Emmett.
A rancid smell caught my nostrils.
"Eugh, what is that?" I choked, holding my breath and pulling a face.
"The toast is burning." She giggled.
"Bellaaaa... what do you want to do today?" I asked for what seemed like the hundredth time this morning. She simply couldn't decide.
"I know." She grinned, jumping up and pulling me with her, surprising me at first.
"I want to show you something." She smiled, this time she seemed a little shy. I took her hand in mine as she lead me through the back door and into the huge garden that was at the top of a big cliff.
She walked me right to the edge of the cliff and then looked at me with a huge grin on her face.
"Jump with me." She whispered.
I widened my eyes in shock, Bella never seemed like the type to go cliff diving.
"Don't worry, I'm safest when I'm in the water, I want to show you what I'm like." She reassured me.
I nodded and smiled at her.
She took a calming breath and leapt off the cliff. I watched her enter the water gracefully and was shocked when I noticed that her clothes had changed as soon a she had resurfaced. She beckoned me to join her.
The sea was perfectly calm today. I, like Bella, took a calming breath and jumped.
The water was warm to me as it engulfed me. I was sure that to humans though, this water would be freezing.
"Bella." I called as I emerged from beneath the water.
"Over here." She replied. She was sat with her chin on her knees on a large rock over in the shallower parts of the water.
I had only ever seen Bella in a dress once and that was at prom. This dress was beautiful on her, it was an extremely pale purple floaty thing with spaghetti straps. The material was mostly just chiffon.
The water lapped at the edges of Bella's feet, making the dress float on the surface. It looked amazing.
I pulled myself up beside her and we just sat there, watching the sun rise over the horizon.
"I love your ensemble." I said, breaking the silence. She blushed.
"Every time I go in the sea this happens." She laughed.
"Is it the same for all sirens?" I asked.
"Yes, our dresses change in accordance to our emotions, Alexis usually has a pale yellow because she is always happy and Esmerelda's is usually a light blue, it stands for peace." She explained.
"So what does yours mean?"
"Mine means serenity or contentment." She smiled slightly.
I pulled her close and kissed her head.
I felt exactly the same.
