Epov-
She pulled away so quickly and I muttered a small sorry. Color ran up to her cheeks and I smiled. Her blush was adorable.

She sat in the passenger seat of the car and I closed the door. I quickly went to the driver's side and got in. We drove in silence for a little while until she began to speak.

"Thank you for doing that. You looked like you were going the other way." I was, I wanted to tell her. But I stopped for you.

"I was just going out for a drive. Don't worry about it." I studied the expression on her face.

"So…" she said. She was reluctant. Like she knew something. It occurred to me that I couldn't read her mind…

"So…" I said. She looked at me curiously, her brown eyes burning into me….

Bpov-
"I don't think we have properly met… I'm Edward Cullen." I smiled.

"I'm Isabella Swan… call me Bella, though. Isabella is a mouthful." He laughed and it was like music.

"Okay then… Bella it is… if you don't mind my asking, what are you doing here on vacation? Where's your family?"

"It's a long story…" I said, while coming up with the perfect lie in my head.

"Don't worry I think I can keep up."

"Well, my, umm, Uncle owns a big house in Italy. I had been so busy unpacking and such I hadn't left the house in about three months." Or three years. I added in my head. "My brothers and sisters had something to attend to so my uncle sent me here to bond with nature before I start school." School of Volturi training. "So, here I am…" He looked at me curiously, as if processing something in his head.

"Your parents…." He left the sentence hanging for me to finish.

"Died. When I was very young." I said. At least some part of what I tell him should be true.

"Oh. Sorry… if it makes you feel any better mine died when I was young, too.… I never knew them. Carlisle and Esme have been the only parents I have ever known." He said quietly.

"Is that who you're staying with at the cabin?" I asked, hoping it sounded like something a friend would ask.

"Oh I'm here with my adoptive brothers and sisters. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett. Rosalie was the first to join our family after me and then Emmett. Alice and Jasper were adopted at the same time because they met at the orphanage and didn't want to be separated. " He said.(Believeable enough???)

Epov-
I studied her face as I spoke my carefully chosen words. She didn't seem fazed by my lie and not at all suspicious. Well I have to be a good liar.

"Wow. You have a big family. I admire your parents for adopting all of you. I remember my uncle restricted me to no boys 'till I was eighteen." I chuckled. Good. She can't be attracted to me then.

"Well, my parents don't have to be worried about that. Alice and Jasper are together and Rosalie and Emmett are together." Why was I telling her all of this? I would never see her again and I probably just disgusted her. It was silent for a minuet. Then she looked up at me.

"Well, if they don't have different bedrooms then that could consist of a problem." And she laughed..I cursed myself for thinking something like that. I was a horrible person. Too selfish of a creature to let her go. "Edward…? Is anyone home?" She asked, and I looked at her.

"Sorry… I zoned out for a second. You were saying something."

"Well, it seems everyone is your family has someone… and what about you?" she asked. Her eyes were searching mine, as if even if I lied to her she would find the answer there.

"No. I haven't found that special person yet." But I just did. There was an awkward silence for a minuet when I asked, "What about you?"

"Well… if I had found the guy I guess my uncle couldn't stop me even if he wanted because the first guy I would fall in love with would probably end up being the one I spend forever with."

Bpov-
"So you haven't found anyone? It's hard to believe with your beauty no boy caught your eye." I blushed. You're right…no boy caught my eye

"Thank you but no, no one was ever good enough." Until you, of course. We neared the cabin and he slowed to a stop.

"I can drive you to get your car tomorrow." He said as he turned off the car. "Then we can get a tow truck to get it." I nodded. He returned to my side to open the door.

"Okay… and thanks, for everything." He smiled a crooked smile. I committed it to memory, just like I committed everything about him to memory. His voice, his smell, his clothes, his smile….

"No problem, Bella."

"Tomorrow, then?" I asked.

"It's a date." He smiled and went into his cabin as I went into mine.

Epov-
"It's a date." I said, kicking myself for the choice of words. Her heart rate sped up and she smiled. I walked to my cabin as she walked into hers.

"I told you that you would come back for her. How right was I?" Alice asked as she stood by the door. I smiled and nodded.

"Your right." She smiled and I walked to my room. I sat there for an hour when a thought occurred to me. I was putting her in danger by constantly meeting her. I sat debating with myself.

You love her.

I love her enough to know not to want to put her in danger.

You'll be miserable.

Its one thing to make me miserable, it's a whole other thing to get her involved.

You already did. By picking her up today.

It won't happen again.

Yes it will. You confirmed it today. You won't want to call it off after seeing her face.

I'm not associating with her, and that's final.

Keep telling yourself that because it sounds like you're convincing yourself more then me… or trying to.

What do you know? You're just a voice in my head.

Okay so that was the last straw. I just had an argument with myself. In my head. I got off the bed and went to find Alice.

"Am I crazy?" I asked her quietly. She was sitting in the living room with Jasper; he was reading a civil war book and she was reading a magazine. She looked up as did Jasper.

"Why would you ask that?" She asked.

"I'm in love with a girl. A human girl. Whom I haven't even known for twenty-four hours. And I say I'm in love with her. That impossible right?" I asked.

"Edward… trust me on this one; you're in love with her." Alice said. "I haven't seen a vision clearer since Jasper."

" Alice... I don't want to hurt her." I whispered.

"You won't. You've been alone for a century. You've never had anyone! You've finally found the person that completes you. You're probably thinking that it's love at first sight. You fell in love with her the minuet you saw my vision."

"I'm not in love with her; I can't be."

"You are Edward. Trust me." Jasper looked up to meet my gaze. I sighed and got up.

"I need air."

I walked out when I saw all the lights out in Bella's cabin. She was probably asleep. I walked up to her window and slightly opened it so I could go through.

She looked like an angel asleep like that. Her hair was fanned out on her pillow like a halo and the blanket wrapped her up so nicely. Tomorrow... I'll tell her tomorrow. I was about to crawl out when I heard it. I was very soft but enough to make me freeze and my heart stop.

"Edward…."

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
