Chapter 16
Edward's pov
When I saw Vanessa's picture there was something inside me that intensified. It took all my willpower not to kill her, but it was worth it. My feelings got stronger when I saw her in person. This all started with a deal with her brother, kind of like a game. To see if I could get her, to steal her away. But, it was different now. I actually wanted her to like me, no not like. That wasn't good enough. I wanted her to love me, for me to be the only thing that crossed her mind 24/7. Then I thought of her with Jacob. Holding and kissing him . That thought made me so angry. He did not deserve her. She was too angelic, too perfect. He was a beast, a monster. I wasn't exactly human, but at least I wasn't that. Angels and dogs do not mix. I don't care if he thinks they are meant to be, she was better than him. When I saw her, I tried to read her mind, to see what she thought of me. But, I wasn't getting anything. It was just like with Bella, only worse. I concentrated harder and harder, but I just ended up giving myself a migraine.
Vanessa's pov
I woke up the next morning and kept thinking about my new vampire friends. Edward in particular. I remembered that Jacob was coming back at one, so we could be together. I hoped Jacob would take my mind off Edward. He still hadn't kissed me. I needed him to do it soon before my mind explodes. I had been thinking about this for a few hours. It was eleven. Two more hours to go. I heard a knock on the front door and went to go answer it. It was Alice. "Hi, Vanessa. Makeover time!" Time for me to be turned into a barbie doll I guess. "I don't really have any supplies for a makeover, Alice." She giggled and said, "I know. I brought Edward to carry my things in. He was quite eager." I smiled when I saw Edward carrying three duffle bags about to burst at the seams. "Alice? What's in all those?" She smiled and said, "One's for clothes, one's for make-up, and the other one's for shoes." I faked a smile and said, "Ah, that's... I'll be honest, that's horrible. I'm not exactly girly." She smiled and said, "I realize that. C'mon, please? For me?" I gave in and said, "Fine. Ya know for a vampire you have a very good puppy dog face." She smiled and mouthed," I know." Of course she knew, she knew everything. "I'm out of here, Alice. See ya-" I frowned and looked at him, "Oh no ya don't. If I have to deal with my "stylist", then you have to stay to keep me sane." He laughed and nodded. Then he got this serious look and said," Isn't Jacob coming back at one? I don't think he'll like me around." I smiled and said,"Well, he'll just have to get used to it, won't he?" He smiled and laughed. Then he turned away from the door and followed Alice and me upstairs.
