I looked at him as he helped me to my feet. He had already grabbed my bag and had his arms ready to guide me. I contemplated for a moment is intentions than I realized he was harmless. Little did I know that there was more to Edward Cullen that I didn't realize until it was too late.

Bella's POV

Edward guided me to his car and opened the front door he skillfully placed in me in the front seat and when he was sure I was comfortable he shut the door. He was in the driver's seat already on his way towards the hospital. It had felt like I hadn't even blinked. As he drove, I glanced over at him; Edward startled me when I realized he was staring at me. It wasn't just a look over it felt like a glare. I quickly looked away and used my hair to shield my face. My insecurities quickly raced to the surface and my only hope was that the hospital entrance wasn't too much further.

She smelled heavenly. I kept staring at her trying to get a read on her mind, yet nothing came. It was slightly annoying. She glanced up at me and quickly looked to her hand as her hair shielded her face from my vision. I had a fairly decent idea as to why I wanted to kill her and worship her all at the same time. She was my singer.

I truly wished I could have talked to her, but for her safety, I needed to stay quiet. I'm sure she thought I was rude or maybe perhaps she liked it better that way. I shrugged at my internal debate as I pulled up to the back of the hospital and for the first time since our meeting my angel spoke.

"Why are we pulling up to the back? Shouldn't we go into the front?"

I breathed her scent in and tried to keep the venom from pooling in my mouth as I answered her.

"I work here."

I quickly opened the door and raced at a human pace to the opposite side of my car. She had already undone the seat-belt and was about to open the door with her other hand. I opened it before she had the chance to and helped her to her feet. As we went towards the door my hand brushed up against her lower back and I guided her through the door. I heard her gasp and I had hoped it was because she felt the same spark of electricity that I felt every time I touched her, yet, I felt that it was more because of the coldness of my hand than anything else.

As I approached one of the exam rooms a nurse came towards me.

"Dr. Cullen, to what do we owe this unexpected visit on your day off?"

Her name was Jessica and I hated her whiny voice. It irked me. However, I knew I needed to tend to Bella's arm as she shifted on her feet from the pain emitting from her wrist.

I sighed annoyingly and Jessica got the hint.

"If you need anything Dr. Cullen please let me know."

She hurriedly ran down the hall as I pushed open the door and placed my hand on Bella's back and ushered her into the exam room.

"You know," Bella said, "You didn't have to be rude to her."

I chuckled for a moment,
"You wouldn't be saying that if you knew what she was thinking."

I knew I was toying with her and I really hadn't intended on making it so easy but it was out now. I had to stifle my laugh as confusion adorned her beautiful face.

"Wait, what?" She said.

"Never mind, Bella, let's look at your wrist shall we?"

She pursed her lips and then held out her wrist. After some X rays I had determined that her wrist was severely sprained. I wrapped it with an ace bandage and grabbed a brace and proceeded to wrap that around her wrist as well.

"Um...I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, Dr. Cullen...but...

She paused and I interrupted her.

"Dr. Cullen sounds like my father, please call me Edward."

She smirked for a moment

"Alright then, Edward. You really don't have to wrap up my wrist twice, I'm sure the ace bandage is quite sufficient. "

I looked at her for a moment and realized that my beautiful Bella was a kitten trying to be a lioness. She didn't like to be fussed over and it was evident on her face as well as her tone, although polite, she was ready to counter if she needed to. It was then I knew I'd have my hands full with the girl. I mentally began formulating how I was going to tame my little lioness and claim her as mine.

It irked me to no end when people would fuss over me. I was clumsy, it was something that I have dealt with since the day I was born. With Edward though, it felt like he had to. Like I was his to take care of and the thought alone made me feel ridiculous. I mean seriously, here was this gorgeous man and he was worried about me? Hardly seemed right. I shot him a look as he applied not one but two braces around my wrist. The ace bandage was enough.

"Um...I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job Dr. Cullen...but...."

I didn't even get the chance to finish my sentence before he interrupted me.

" Dr. Cullen sounds like my father, please call me Edward."

I smirked at him, amused that he thought I was trying to make him appear old.

"Alright then, Edward. You really don't have to wrap up my wrist twice, I'm sure the ace bandage is quite sufficient."

I hadn't meant for it to come out bitchy. Nonetheless, I think he took it that way because his gaze became intense and his eyes were pitch black. Wait, what? His eyes were topaz a minute ago and now there black? I blushed and broke away from his gaze. Mentally tucking that away to dwell on it later. I heard him inhale and exhale deeply and immediately regretted my tone.

"Edward, I'm sorry...I just...I...."

I had no idea why it seemed so hard to even form a sentence. It was as if telling him I had no one to take care of me would have caused him pain. It was utterly absurd.

I cleared my throat and tried again,

" I wasn't trying to be bitchy, Edward, I just never had anyone make such a big fuss."
His head snapped up and I heard him mutter what sounded like, "damn fools, but I couldn't be for sure. He said it so fast that it almost seemed as if he was talking but not at the same time. It was definitely on the weird scale.

"Bella, I'm a doctor, this is what doctor's do. Besides, now you can have someone to make a big deal."

He seemed to be angry about something and honestly being in that close of proximity to him was intoxicating. I tried very hard to breathe and prayed that this whole fiasco would just hurry up. He squeezed my good hand and I looked up at him.
"You seemed to be lost in thought. I was afraid to startle you. Your all done. It should heal up just fine. Do me a favor though, try not to be so reckless."

I was still looking at our adjoined hands and reveling in the electricity that flowed between us. However, the second he made that comment, I shot my face up to his. He looked annoyed, angry even. He was actually scaring me. I tried to remove my hand from his and his grip just seemed to get tighter. I whimpered in pain and he growled. I took a few calming breaths and looked back up at Edward.

"Edward, your..um..I mean..I...

"Jeez Bella just spit it out." He demanded.

"Your cutting of the circulation to my fingers!" I screeched.

He immediately released my hand and started pacing around the room. I was confused. What the hell is wrong with this guy? I wondered. It was odd. I was afraid of him, yet, I couldn't be afraid of him. I didn't know what type of pull I had to Edward Cullen, but I was going to find out.

Author's Note: YAY! A new chapter! Ok so..here's the deal. I have had mixed reviews about Edward being a vampire or not being a vampire. Truthfully there are a lot of both out there. So, I'm actually working on a different story where our dear Edward is human vs. vampire. I had already started writing this chapter and it made more sense I guess to make Edward a vampire. I really hope it doesn't disappoint and once I have a few more chapters of the other story and a nice title I will post it. I am in the works of hopefully getting a beta. This story may be revised once I secure one..but until then..all mistakes our mine and thank you to my lovely friend Lauren for proofing. Also BIG thank you to everyone reading this story or adding it to their favorite or what have you. It means the world to me. XOXO~Cheyanne~
