Bella sat in the Cullen's living room, hands folded primly in her lap as she admired the engagement ring placed up on her slender ring finger. Pretty soon she'd be one of them, beautiful, graceful, stuck in a world of eternal beauty. Of course her family would die off and she'd stay young forever but the idea didn't really bother her as much as she thought it would. She would be with Edward forever; they'd remain in the throes of love permanently, soul mates. She couldn't help the grin that graced her lips as her Edward came into the living room, a vision in his black sweater and faded denim jeans. He offered her a smile, sunlight pouring through the window and glinting off of his face. He shined like diamonds; Bella always thought he was by far the most beautiful creature to grace the planet. And he was all hers.

"Edward" Bella held up her arms, like a child begging to be picked up. Edward sank down onto the couch beside her, enveloping her in his arms carefully, making sure that their bodies didn't touch too much in order to keep her from freezing from the coldness of his skin. Bella rolled her eyes at that, pretty soon they'd be the same temperature.

"We haven't spoken about the wedding" Bella scolded, finding her eyes meeting her fiancés with a glint of amusement. Edward looked back at her, his eyebrows furrowing a bit as he took in her chocolate colored irises. It reminded him of the events between him and that stranger last week. The window had been replaced but Edward still couldn't enter Carlisle's medical room without being reminded of what had happened there. Of those hands sliding over his skin, burning like fire, of a set of lips trailing over his own, of earthy scented breath sliding over his face and a large body moving against his own.

"Edward" Bella set her hand upon his shoulder, shaking him free of those old memories. He offered her a small, tight smile taking her hand in his own to kiss it in apology. "You were saying, love?" he covered the strain in his voice with a veil of silk and smiled a bit as he watched Bella's pupil's dilate at the sound. She was too easy to fool, sometimes, it truly disappointed Edward.

Jacob paced around the house, anxious to no end. He hadn't phased for four days, trying to escape the probability of everyone finding out about his imprint. Sam suspected it, Jacob knew that much. But the Alpha probably figured that it was a girl on the reservation, how wrong he was. Regardless of that, Jacob wanted to go back. He had to see Edward even if it was just a momentary glance through a window or catching his scent through the breeze. He knew that Bella, Charlie Swan's girl was dating Edward (he only knew that because Charlie constantly vented to Billy on how much he hated the Cullens), maybe she'd have a sweater of Edwards or even better yet, maybe Edwards scent lingered by her home. Jacob didn't know Bella all that well; she never did like him back when they were younger so he always made a point to be out of her way. But now, he knew that if she was his only connection to Edward Cullen, he'd have to seek her out.

It was the only way to be with Edward, it was Jacob's last option and boy was he desperate.

Edward shifted behind the wheel of his car, fingers clenching the steering wheel hard enough to leave dents where his hands rested. His eyes gazed easily through the lazy fall of rain towards the small front porch of Bella's house. The moon trickled across the cement road underneath the wheels of his car, catching the side of his face as he peered cautiously through the rainfall up to Bella's bedroom window that faced the street. He waited for a few silent moments, the CD in his dash replaying over and over in the background. When Bella's bedroom light flickered on and she peered out the curtain of her bedroom window to wave, Edward let out an unnecessary relieved sigh. Edward found himself becoming more and more protective of Bella as time went on. Although Victoria and the Volturi were no longer much of a concern, he still worried. Bella Swan was a magnet for disaster, bad things and beings were lured towards her by invisible forces, it was up to Edward to protect her.

Edward let a small crooked smile flicker over his lips as he returned the wave for a moment, putting his car into drive and stepping on the gas. He maneuvered through the small puddles that lay in the road before him, trying to focus as much attention as he could on anything but the urge think of that man that remained a constant in his mind. He didn't know why he thought of that man so damned much, he didn't even know him all that well.

Edward veered left down the road and headed in the direction of the bluffs near the ocean, he needed space to think.
