Chapter 3

I couldn't help the smile that graced my face as I saw him climb out of the tub. I couldn't believe the guy I loved, the guy I thought was dead for so long was standing in front of me.

'Another one hey?' Edward smirked as he walked towards me his eyes roaming up and down my body. Water dripped from his hair, down his shoulders and rolled down his bare chest. Oh that chest, how I'd missed it.

'Erm...' I murmured, apparently unable to speak. I stared at his perfect face as I realised just how much I'd missed him.

His smirk continued as he stared at my chest.

'I...erm...heard you rent out rooms?' I stuttered.

'Pretty cute' he muttered to himself a finger on his chin as if in thought, as he wandered around me slowly. 'Hmm, yes, she can stay' he nodded as he returned to stand in front of me.

'Excuse me?' I asked incredulously folding my arms across my chest.

I couldn't believe this was Edward. My Edward. But there was no denying it. Even though some of his already amazing features had been enhanced by his change, it was definitely him.

'You can go' he said, brushing me off with a wave of his hand before turning his back on me.

'Edward...' I whispered sadly. Upset by the fact that obviously more than just some of his features had changed.

This was not the Edward I remembered. In fact the guy in front of me was a complete bastard.

Yet the thought of being away from him again hurt my heart. That was not even something to be considered.

'What?' he asked, turning back to me. For a second I saw the old Edward flash in his now topaz eyes, but it quickly disappeared as he cocked an eyebrow waiting for me to say something.

'Erm, I can stay?' I mumbled looking into his eyes, desperate for him to see me. Really see who I was.

He didn't.

'Yes, Jessica will show you' he said dismissively, walking away and dropping himself back down into the hot tub.

He grinned at the two girls who sat either side of him and stretched his arms around both of them. I watched as one of the girls whispered something to him and he laughed before leaning down and kissing her mouth roughly.

My heart caught in my throat, and if it were possible for me to cry I definitely would be. I wanted to shout at him to stop, to only ever kiss me that way but I knew I couldn't. I turned away quickly and followed 'Jessica' out of the room.

She showed me to my 'room' and rolled her eyes as I thanked her. I noticed she was human, I got a strong whiff as she whipped around and her hair wafted in my face.

I closed the door quickly, breathing in the fresh air. I was able to control myself around humans pretty well for a newborn, Aro had told me.

I slid down the door and sat on the floor, my head in my hands.

I was so confused.

I'd been so happy to see Edward, to see him alive after I'd thought he was dead for so long. Yet so much had obviously changed and I wasn't sure how to go about it.

I guess I'd thought that he'd be moping around missing me, and as soon as I showed up he'd recognise me and we'd carry on as we left off.

Things were so very different, it was as if I'd never fucking existed.

I sighed loudly into my hands before standing up and throwing myself onto the bed.

I stayed there, motionless for a few hours, thinking about what I was gonna do to get Edward back. I knew I didn't wanna just tell him who I was, I think I just kinda needed him to see that for himself.

First of all I needed to get rid of all the other skanks that were hanging on his arm.

I made a decision just as someone knocked on the door.

I was at the door in seconds, deciding I couldn't be bothered with human pace, and flung the door open.

'Hey' Edward smirked, as he allowed himself in my room.

'Yeah come in' I muttered closing the door, though my breathing sped up at the thought of us being in the room alone together.

'So, I never caught your name before' he grinned.

'Thats because you never asked' I snapped, putting my plan in motion.

'Well aren't you a feisty one' he winked moving towards me.

I could smell him as he edged closer, and all I wanted to do was grab his shirt, push my lips against his and never let him go again. But I couldn't.

So I stepped around him and walked to the other side of the bed.

'Are you gonna tell me your name or not?' he asked as he followed my movements with his eyes.

'Be...' I stopped abruptly, knowing I couldn't tell him my real name.

'Be?' He cocked an eyebrow.

'Beth' I finished.

'Beth...nice' he smirked.

He leaned forward and rested his hands on the bed looking up at me through his unbelievably long lashes.

'So, erm how does this work?' I asked as nonchalantly as I could, trying to avoid his gaze by looking at my fingernails.

'How does what work darlin'?' he grinned.

I couldn't help the small feeling of joy as he called me darling.

'Well all of it, I don't usually use hotels like this?' I asked.

'Well you can pay weekly or monthly, depends on how long your planning to stay' he shrugged, as I noticed him slowly edge his way around the bed.

'Well I don't know yet, so I'll pay monthly if that's okay' I told him.

'That's fine sweetheart' he nodded, his eyebrows furrowing as he looked at me. 'You remind me of someone' he whispered so quietly that if I was human, which he thought I was, I wouldn't have heard him.

He was edging closer and I needed to get away from him if I was going to keep up the pretence.

I quickly clambered over the bed so I was again on the opposite side to him.

'What are you doing?' he asked cocking an eyebrow.

'Look, I'm not going to be like all your other girls down there okay' I told him sternly, pointing to the floor.

He chuckled quietly before walking to the door.

'Alright alright, worth a try though' he smirked. 'I just came to introduce myself, I'm Edward by the way' he grinned his crooked smile that I had missed so much.

'I know' I smiled.

'Of course you do' he winked before opening the door and stepping out.

Once the door closed behind him, I let out a huge breath and sat on the edge of the bed.

This was going to be harder than I thought.

I grabbed my bag and pulled out my cell phone. I noticed a voice message and sighed, knowing it would probably be Charlie again.

It had been three weeks since I'd been changed and nearly four since the last time I'd seen my father. I hadn't answered his calls simply because I didn't know if I could go back. I looked different now, there was no way he wouldn't think something was up. I couldn't expose myself like that. Maybe I would return home someday, but it wasn't something I was planning anytime soon.

I pressed listen and threw the phone beside me as I lay down and closed my eyes.

'Bella, it's me again' He sounded so tired. 'Look I'm begging you, I just, if your, if your okay...just let me know please, just a text or anything. You don't need to come home sweetheart, not if you don't want to, if it's too hard then it's okay honey, I just need to know your okay, please Bells. I miss you and love you. Please' he sighed before putting the phone down.

I didn't want to hurt Charlie and I hated that I was making him so worried. I just couldn't risk talking to him.

I let out a breath and sat up grabbing my phone and ending the call. I smiled as I saw the picture of me and Edward I had as a screensaver pop up. I was leaning against him smiling as he nuzzled into my hair a grin on his face. I slid off the bed and walked towards the door. I padded down the hallway barefoot and walked slowly down the stairs.

I needed to see Edward. Even if he wasn't the Edward I wanted him to be, I was still unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

'Well hello Beth!' he cheered as I entered a lounge area where he was sitting in an arm chair, a bottle of beer in his hand for show.

I looked behind me to see who he was talking to, before I remembered that was my name!

'Oh! Hi' I said quickly, knowing that if I could still blush I would be.

He frowned for a second before grinning again.

'Nice of you to join us' he said loudly as a girl with blonde hair walked over and sat on the arm of his chair.

He placed his arm around her and nuzzled her neck as she giggled.

I looked away, feeling awkward and upset.

'Care to join?' he chuckled bringing my attention back to him.

'No thank you!' I huffed stomping through to what I guessed was a game room.

A couple of girls were playing pool and another three were dancing on a WII game. I noticed a sofa in the corner of the room and made my way to it, wanting to be out of the way.

I sat for a while watching. I saw how the girls got flustered and red and realised that all the girls here were human.

'Hi!' someone suddenly squeaked from beside me.

I turned to see a small girl, with short spiky hair, she reminded me of a little pixie.

'Hello' I smiled, shuffling away from her slightly so she wouldn't feel my cold skin.

'I'm Alice' she grinned.

'I'm Bel...Beth' I corrected, I was going to have to remember that.

'Hi Belbeth' she giggled.

'It just Beth' I chuckled.

'It's nice to meet you' she smiled sincerely.

'You too' I returned.

'Have you been here long?' she asked politely.

'No, I only got here today' I informed her.

'You like it here?'

'Erm, yeah I think so' I smiled.

She giggled, sat back and watched Edward stroll into the room.

The two girls who had been playing pool, giggled and ran over to him. He kissed each of them.

I looked away.

'Urgh!' I groaned in sadness and frustration.

'Your not an Edward fan?' Alice asked beside me.

'Erm, not really' I lied.

'Me neither' she shrugged.

'Really?' I asked wide eyed.

'You sound surprised' she smirked.

'Well, yeah I am, I mean I thought all the girls here liked him'

'No, I have a boyfriend...he's Edward's best friend' she informed me.

'Oh' I nodded. 'Does he live here too?' I asked.

'Yep, I only live here because Jasper asked me, he's working tonight though so I thought I'd come down and see what was going on'

'Yo, Alice, where's Jasper?' Edward called strolling over and shoving himself on the sofa between us.

I quickly got up, nearly too fast for human speed, but just about pulled it off. I couldn't let him touch me.

Edward sniffed his armpits and furrowed his brows at me. 'Do I smell or something?' he asked putting his arm around Alice.

She wiggled out and glared at him, but he wasn't paying attention, he was still staring at me.

'You don't smell' I informed him. Well you do, but you smell amazing.

'Well that's good to know' he smirked.

'Erm, yeah' I said awkwardly as he continued to stare at me.

'Seriously where do I know you from?' He muttered, more to himself than me.

I shrugged and he snapped his head towards me. He studied my face quickly, for a second his eyes looked sad and the old Edward was there.

I smiled and instinctively reached for him.

'Eddiiie!' someone called from behind me, causing my hand that was reaching for his face, to snap back quickly.

He quickly returned to normal and grinned at the girl making her way to him.

'Erm, I think i'm gonna head to bed' I whispered to no-one in particular.

'Night Belbeth' Alice grinned from beside Edward, who looked at me and smiled, the most genuine smile I'd seen from him since I'd been here.

'Goodnight Beth' he said softly, making my breath hitch. He then grabbed the girl who had called him to him and sat her on his lap.

'Erm, good...goodnight' I stuttered before turning on my heel and retreating quickly from the room.

As I headed up the stairs I let out a huge sigh. Yep. This was definitely going to be harder than I thought.
