Chapter 20
Vanessa's pov
I was awoken by a slight shove on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw Edward's golden one's. "That was amazing." I began to freak out, just slightly though. "What was amazing?" He smiled his signature crooked smile and said,"I may not be able to read you're thoughts, but I can see your dreams. It was basically terrific, and made my day, week, maybe even month." I had this weird look on my face and said,"How is that even possible?" He smiled again and said,"It's like this, when you're awake you're mind is guarded, when you're asleep you let down your defenses." I smiled and said,"You're going to be watching me sleep a lot, aren't you?" He smiled and nodded. "Come on, don't even pretend my singing didn't help you sleep, just a little better." I nodded and said,"OK, maybe a bit better." Truth is I hadn't been sleeping. It wasn't because of Jake either. I kept dreaming about the attack. Last night was the first time I hadn't. "Can I ask you a question,Vanessa?" I smiled and nodded. "What's it like kissing a werewolf? Just curious, you don't have to answer me, if you don't want to." I smiled and said,"We haven't kissed yet, so I don't know." He had this look of horror on his face. "You're his imprint, his "soul mate", and he hasn't kissed you yet. No offense Vanessa, but that's a bad sign." I giggled and said,"I know. My turn to ask you a question." He nodded and gestured for me to go on. "Am I really that un-kissable? Do I have the words "Keep away" written on my lips?" He started laughing and didn't say a word. He was driving me insane! "What the hell is so funny?" He kept laughing and said,"I will tell you what is hilarious. Vanessa, whether you like it or not, he's a werewolf. He doesn't realize what he has. If it was anyone else, they'd have kissed you a thousand times by now." I blushed slightly and smiled. "So, I'm not un-kissable. Just have an idiot for a boyfriend." He nodded and smiled. I leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Thanks, Edward." He nodded and said,"You're welcome, Vanessa." I smiled and started giggling uncontrollably. I giggled a lot when I was around him. I put my hand on my neck, and felt the beads of sweat dripping down. I looked out my window and saw the sun shining. I felt his cool hands massaging my neck, ever so gently. I smiled slightly. I glanced at the clock and saw it was nine thirty. No way Jake would be up. I laid my head against his neck, trying to cool off. For a place that rains all the time, it sure was sunny a lot. I heard a knock on the door downstairs and looked at Edward."Alice. Wants to make sure you're wearing decent clothes." I laughed and went downstairs, Edward following closely behind. "Hi, Alice." I said as I opened the door. "You are a mean girl, Vanessa." I was kind of shocked. I thought I was nice. "When was I mean?" She smiled and said,"How dare you not tell me your birthday is June twentieth. It's less than a week away. Had to leave it to my visions to tell me! It's barely enough time to plan a party, but I think I can manage." I frowned. I hated parties, especially birthday parties. "Alice, I don't do parties, I also don't do birthday's." She frowned and looked at me with this desperate look in her eyes. "Please? You're birthday's on a Thursday. You can spend that with the wolves, and then Saturday will be us. Please? Esme and Carlisle are dying to meet you. Well, not literally, obviously, but you get the point." I frowned and gave in, "Fine, but I'm not happy about it."She smiled and clapped her hands. "Yay! You real birthday's only two days away, so that gives me four days to plan! Plenty of time!" I crossed my arms over my chest and tried to frown, but ended up laughing instead. "Well, that's all I came over for, that and to steal Edward away. After I saw you saying yes, I began to draw up plans, Edward has to pitch in. Come on, Edward, let's get." I smiled and waved good-bye. "I'll see you tonight." He whispered just loud enough for me to hear. I decided to go over to Jacob's house, I was going to get him to kiss me one way or the other.
