Edward's pov.
I look over her body again. Her small white shorts, her tight black tank top. Emmet would make my life hell if he was here now, but thanks to Alice who got everyone to go to Danali for the weekend, I'm good for a few days.
Fucking fridge boy. My smile falls. Damn, I forgot about the heat. Sure it is clouded, which is why Alice told me this weekend would be perfect since she wouldn't see me in the sun, but it's humid and she must be so uncomfortable. "Shit" I mutter. She looks up wide eyed. "What?" I ask. "You cursed … Kind of" a smile starting to form on her lips. I couldn't help but smile back. "You are rubbing off on me." "So… what's the shit about?" "It's really hot, and we don't have an air con or anything." I say rubbing the back of my neck. "Don't worry about it! It's going to rain later." She says walking up to me. "How did you know?" I knew already thanks to Alice, but how did she. She slowly stepped closer to me and wrapped her arms around my waist. "Can't you smell it?" I wrap my arms around her shoulders she sighs happily. Yay! Nice and cool.
I take a deep breath. I love this. She doesn't smell as strong as most people do. She smells like the ocean but that's it, no amazing blood or anything just clean and fresh. Sometimes she smells a bit like some of the mutts but nothing I can't handle. I didn't even realise it at the beginning, but that must have been why I wasn't bothered that she came so close. It's nice to not always want to kill all humans.
"Nah, I don't smell it." I lie. "Well come on, you said you had a surprise to show me, bring it on." She says stepping out of my embrace in going into the house. I always pictured myself with a bit more, old fashioned girl, but I guess I could adjust, or tri to.
Come on, I took her hand as she looked at around the inside of the house. Her mind was going a mile a minute so I couldn't make heads or tails of what she was thinking, but the look of total amazement on her face made it pretty obvious. I lead her upstairs and down the hall. As we came to a stop in front of a door I leaned down and whispered into her ear. "Close your eyes." Eeek I love surprises. I smile as she closes her eyes and I open the door and lead her inside. "Open"
"Holy fucking shit!" we really need to work on her cussing. I watch as she her eyes roam over the book covered walls. "This is amazing!" she says awestruck. "My father has an extensive collection." She walks over to one of the walls and gently runs her finger over the spines. I silently step back and sit on the floor with my back against the couch.
After a while her finger stops on one of the books. I smile at her as she turns and walks over to me. She sits down next to me. I pull her close to my side. She smiles back at me
leans against me and opens her book and starts to read. I just silently listen to her mind as she reads.
"Would you like something to drink?" I ask as she turns a page. "Yes please, something cold." I get up and she lies down on the floor continuing her reading.
As I enter the library with a cold glass of chocolate milk (Mind reading is awesome) I see her small form spread out on the floor lying on her stomach with the book lying at her side. She's so beautiful when she sleeps. I think smiling. I put the glass on the table next to the couch and lower my self to the floor next to her.
My eyes drift over her peaceful form and feel the heat coming off of her. We really need to get an air con. I lean closer and run my fingertip over her shoulder. A small smile spreads across her face as a moan escapes her lips. I freeze fearing that she wakes but her eyes stay close and as I read her mind I see her dreaming of being in the desert and smiling fondly at a small line of ice running down her shoulder. I take that as my queue and run my finger tips up her back to her throat. She shivers and smiles more. I feel her strong heartbeat under my finger tips. I just lay down beside her while she sleeps.
Later on as it gets cooler she starts to wake. I lean over and softly kiss her warm cheek. I feel her turn around and her warm arms encircle my neck. She pulls me closer to her and kiss my lips softly. "Is it raining yet?" she asks softly. "Not yet… but almost." "want to go to the beach? It's always nice when it starts to rain after such a hot day." "I don't want you to get sick." Pssha! "I wont get sick! Stop being a sissy!"
I couldn't help but laugh at her as I stand up and start to carry her out of the room.
