Note: Hello! I'm sorry it took a while to update but I have a free class so I decided to type and update! I know you hate me for ending the last chapter the way I did so here's the next one.

Chapter 16: I Love You...

EPOV

She was so beautiful that I couldn't help myself. When she turned around I took her in my arms and kissed her passionately. I could tell by her heart beat that she wasn't expecting it but she loved it all the same.

After a couple of minutes I remembered we were on stage and that she needed to breathe so I pulled away. I heard a soft whimper, as if she was telling me not to stop but she didn't pull me back towards her. She blushed and looked away.

"I guess all of you girls can stop dreaming about being with Edward 'cause Bella's already got him!" Emmett's voice boomed. Bella blushed deeper, it was so adorable.

"Let's go Bells. We all need to relax a little." I put my hand on the small of her back and guided her back stage. The rest of the band followed.

As soon as we got to our room the comments started.

"Geez, Edward! I thought you were going after her for her blood and we'd have a massacre on our hands!" Emmett laughed. Rosalie slapped him upside the head.

"I thought Lauren and Jessica were going to kill the bouncer and get up there and kill Bella for kissing Edward. They were furious. Along with every other girl there..." Jasper snickered

"Do you need to sleep, or eat, Bella?" I put my hand on her sweating forehead. I felt her lean in and let out a soft moan. That small sound sent my hormones into high gear. A smile spread across her lips as Jasper laughed, feeling what I was feeling, and told Alice and the others what I felt. Soon the room was filled with laughter.

"I'm fine Edward. I just need you hands on me and I'll be good enough." Her statement made my hormones go even faster and made controlling myself the hardest thing I ever had to do.

I couldn't stand the laughter. I wanted to talk to Bella about how I felt but not in front of all our friends and family.

"Could you guys go hunt or something? I wanna talk to Bella. Alone." I spoke in a low voice so Bella couldn't hear.

Don't worry you won't hurt her. And I approve of anything you want to do with my friend.

Alice's vision gave me slight peace of mind. Her other comment once again had my hormones raging. Everyone filed out of the room saying things like, "be gentle." And "I knew you would end up together."

If Bella could hear that she would blush.

"Bells, we're going to hunt. Alice and Rose need a lot of blood since they're newborns. Just stay close to Edward and we'll be back soon." Emmett gently kissed her forehead and a growl escaped my lips.

"Sorry." I muttered, but he knew I couldn't control it.

As soon as they were out I sat down next to Bella and she wrapped her arms around me. She looked so peaceful, almost angelic. I couldn't imagine turning this beauty into a monster like me. She had lived through enough pain. She will live a better life without being one of us.

"Edward...what are you thinking?" Her question startled me slightly.

"I'd rather know what you're thinking. Your mind is the only one I can't read." She smiled and opened her eyes for the first time since coming back here.

"Maybe I don't want you to know."

BPOV

Maybe I don't want you to know that I've been trying to tell you I love you for the past few days and every time I don't because I know you'll reject me.

I sighed. I knew he couldn't possibly be happy with me. That kiss was just because he wanted all the girls to think he was taken. He couldn't love me. I was too plain. Brown hair, brown eyes, pale. The only thing that I had going for me were the balloons attached to my chest.

"Bella, I want to tell you something. And if you don't like it we can pretend I never said anything and everything will be like it was before I said it."

You're in love with a beautiful vampire and she's waiting for you in some beautiful castle...I knew it...

"Bella, since the first time I saw you, in your yard playing with Emmett, I thought you were beautiful. I wanted to get to know you. I wanted to protect you from everything, weather it was a bee or a meteor. I loved dressing up for my mom to take photos of our 'wedding' and see you in that beautiful toilet paper gown. Bella I...I love you."

I stared at him, unbelieving. Had he just told me he thought I was beautiful playing in the mud with Emmett. That he loved it when we had the fake wedding. That he wanted to protect me. I was speechless. And he took it the wrong way.

"I'm sorry, I know it was stupid to say but I wanted to say it. I needed to. I hope everything can go back to being the way they were before. I'll let you rest for now Bella. Just call me if you need anything." He tried to get up but I wouldn't let go. I couldn't. I never wanted to.

"Don't leave. Don't ever leave me. I never want to be away from you again. I thought you were too good for me back then and I still feel that way about now. But if you really feel this way and you truly love me don't go. I love you too Edward. I've loved you since the day you came and played in the mud with Emmett and I. I love you Edward. Please don't leave me again."

I let everything out. Everything I had been trying to say for the past week. I know it sounded desperate but I was. I never wanted to be away from him again. I was holding onto his chest crying slightly. He held me as tight as he could without hurting me. We just sat there for I don't know how long.

After what seemed like an eternity Edward lifted my head and kissed me. This time it was filled with love, not just passion and energy. My toes tingled, that's how good it was. I whimpered when he pulled away.

"Bella, I need to keep control or else you'll end up dead. Or worse, like me." His voice held notes of sadness.

"What if I want to be like you? What If I want to spend the rest of the life this earth has with you?" I loved into his golden eyes and froze. They were filled with love and passion but also with something I couldn't quite distinguish.

"We've been over this Bella. Everyone is trying to tell me that you'd be better off as one of us but I don't think that. If you can live a normal life as a human you should take it. It's not fun being a monster." He looked away. I pulled his face back towards me.

"But I'm in love with you, monster." We both smiled and kissed again.

The kiss started getting rougher and faster. I started feeling a burning between my legs. I knew what it was but I didn't know if he was feeling the same. He pulled me onto him and I could feel him against me. My legs were on each side of him and the feeling of being touched there ever so slightly was intoxicating. I wanted more as the burning and warmth stated to get more and more.

"Bella, are you—"Edward tried to say but I cut him off. I wanted it and so did he. I wanted to prove how much I loved the monster that he thinks he is.

I started pulling at his shirt and he just ripped it off. His chest was perfect. Everything about his was so perfect. I kissed down his neck to his collar bone and heard him moan. I smiled and continued to travel lower and lower until I was at his waist.

I could hear his small moans escaping and it made me want him more. I lift me lips back to his and he untied my corset. It fell off of my body revealing my bare chest (You can't wear a bra with it) and his lips started roaming my neck and my breasts.

He licked one of my pink peaks and it sent me wild. I moaned and he bit down gently which elicited another moan from me. I ground my hips into his and heard him moan. I did it over and over again

His right hand was on my left breast, playing and pulling at my nipple while his left was on my ass, squeezing and feeling. Having him so close made me want him so much more.

"Oh, Edward. Please...I want it" I managed to say.

Without a word I was flipped onto my back with Edward hovering above me. His member was poking the inside of my thigh. His lips were all over my chest. His hands were driving me crazy. My hips moved up against him and he moaned with me. He reached for my pants at the same time I went for his. I undid his belt and--

*knock knock* "Hey, Bella, can I talk to you for a bit? I wanna ask you something!" Jacobs's voice was clear and he sounded a little rushed. I heard Edward growl.

"Stupid mutt ruined a very special moment." Edward growl as he got off of me and handed me a shirt.

"He won't go away no matter what I say. I can see that in his mind. I'm sorry Bella."

"It's OK." I had the shirt on and hugged him from behind. "We always have later tonight to finish this." I whispered seductively. He looked at me with unbelieving eyes.

I winked and walked over to the door. I opened it and saw a half naked Jacob.

"What is it Jake?" I asked impatiently.

"Let's walk and talk." He held his hand out for me to take. I pushed it away and blew a kiss to Edward. He blew one back and gave a warning glare to Jacob.

Note: You all officially hate me huh? I couldn't resist...plus I needed to have Bella and Jake talk. It was the best way. Don't worry; there will be a real lemon later on. Please R&R for now. I love reading what you think. I'll try to update fast. BTW: I will be acquiring a couple of stories from a friend of Mine. Her Name is VegiVamp and she has no time to write anymore so she asked me to finish her stories. I'll be fixing them up and everything.
