Lol, So I saw this last night in a forum and I thought it was hilarious:
BELLA: Hey Edward, can I be a vampire now?
EDWARD: No!
BELLA: *sulks*
EDWARD: Bella, can't a long happy life with me be enough?
BELLA: Not if I have to get OOOOOOLD!
EDWARD: How about I throw in a growth-accelerated half-vampire mutant baby?
BELLA: ...We could make this work.
EDWARD: Attagirl.
Just thought I'd share it. ^.^
This is a bonus chapter for you guys since I was late on the update!
Lights! Camera! …Read!
I heard his heart rate change in pace. His breathing was deeper and more often. He was waking up.
I got up to make sure the piano was tuned and played a couple of random notes softly. I heard his footsteps getting closer. I heard him reach the bottom of the stairs.
It's now or never, Bella. Don't chicken out! It's too late to be getting all nervous.
My hands made it to the keys and I began to play my song. I heard him stop at the door and began my first verse. He opened the door and made his way towards me as I continued to play and sing. When he was right next to me I gave him a smile and moved over to allow him to sit with me if he wanted to.
I could see him through my peripheral vision watching and listening to me intently with a glowing smile on his face. It was hard to keep my focus on the song. I wanted so bad to turn and look at him and just gaze into his beautiful green eyes.
I finished playing the last note and then felt completely nervous again. I held on to the bench at my sides. I held on tight but controlled myself enough not to destroy the wood. I wouldn't want to leave any hand indentions on his bench either. I don't think he'd like that very much.
I looked up from my lap to search for those emerald eyes that seemed to always captivate me. As I found them my head was spun and my stomach tightened. I was locked and completely lost in them. I couldn't help but smile. I bit my bottom lip in anticipation.
What if he didn't like the song?
"That was…Bella, your voice…" I held my breath, "It's beautiful."
Is he just saying that?
Ok so, maybe he likes my voice but not the song…I wouldn't blame him. It's utterly depressing…
"Thanks, I…I wrote this last night." I paused.
Should I tell him I wrote it thinking of him?
Will it scare him away?
"I just felt like I had to write my feelings and thoughts down. I don't want to hold back anymore."
I looked away. I was too scared to see his reaction.
Would he realize what I meant with the lyrics?
I slyly looked out of the corner of my eye at him.
He seemed distant, like he was thinking about something really hard. His facial expression looked confused. His lips parted as if he was going to say something, but he stayed quiet.
Did he figure it out?
My nerves got the best of me and I did the first thing I could think of.
I started to play another song that I had just learned.
After I played a few bars of music he finally spoke up.
"Clair De Lune?" he asked surprised.
"Yeah, I learned it last night after I wrote my song…It's one of my favorites. I found it with your music sheets. I hope you don't mind me going through them…I won't go through them again if it bothers you." Damn it, why do I always have to ramble when I'm nervous? I tried not to look at him and just continued to play. "I'm sorry."
"It's one of my favorites too." He said.
I felt as if something was pulling at me to turn and look at him once more. He was smiling his beautiful crooked smile. I was so relieved. I smiled back at him.
His eyes were looking straight into mine as if he were looking deep with in them, searching for something. I swear if it were possible my heart would have exploded. My stomach was full of butterflies, my head was spinning, and my hopes soared.
I can't believe that after all these years I've finally found someone that made me feel this way.
I only wish that it wouldn't have to end. I knew one day, the only person who could make me feel like this would be gone. How will I go on without him afterwards? Does he have any idea how much he means to me?
I pried my eyes away from his gaze. I had to compose myself.
I noticed his breathing became irregular. And I could have sworn at one point his heart had skipped a beat.
"Bella…" he breathed.
Now his heart was racing. It was faster than I have ever heard it beat before…
Could this mean…that maybe…
"Hmm…?" was all I could get out. If I would have said anything else my voice would have cracked from anticipation.
He looked like he was thinking, trying to organize his thoughts and figure out what words to say. Waiting for his reply, my mind came up with a million different things he could want to say. But there is only one thing my heart longed for him to say, would he say it?
"Um…Thank You." He said a little bit hesitant. He had a half smile, half frown on his lips.
"Oh…for what?"
What could he possibly want to thank me for?
From the look he was giving me, it seemed like this really wasn't what he was planning on saying. More than ever, I wanted to read his mind this very moment. But I couldn't risk him reading my own in return. Not now, I was afraid if he heard the thoughts running through my mind right now I would scare him away. I'd hate myself for subjecting him to listen to my endless thoughts of love for him if he didn't feel the same way towards me. He'd probably think I had some child-like infatuation with him and push me out of his life.
"For being such a great friend."
I'm a great friend?
God, if he only knew I longed to be more than justthat…
I tried to smile at him, but I felt as if my heart had been ripped out from my chest.
Is that all I'll ever be to him? A friend?
I mentally sighed.
If that's what he wants, then I'll be the best damn friend he'll ever have.
I'll be there for him as long as he wants me to be.
I'll be at his side for the rest of his life, if he'll allow it.
A moment later he began to play an accompaniment on the other side of the piano. The two pieces played perfectly together. I smiled brightly.
With every moment that passes in my fast life of existence, I fall even more in love with him…
Is that even possible?
We ended the piece and smiled at each other.
"It's much more fun playing with someone than alone." He said.
"Yep. Definitely." Our smiles turned into quiet laughter. I truly was having fun, just spending time with him made my existence just that much better.
I don't for how long, but I had lost myself in the moment. Probably just a few seconds but it felt like I had been in the same moment for hours. I wish it were hours, even then it still wouldn't be enough.
"Embry and Seth are almost here for you to sign the treaty."
"Huh?" I snapped out of my admiration of his emerald eyes to the sound of his voice. How does he do that? "Oh."
We got up and walked out to the front porch to wait for them to arrive. A moment later an old red truck pulled into the drive way. The two of them jumped out of it. They looked like two very young teenagers.
I winced as they got closer.
"Hey, Edward!" The smaller one said with a wide smile.
"Hey, Seth. Embry."
"Jacob Black told us to come, that you have agreed to sign the Cullen treaty."
"Yeah that's right. I'm Isabella Swan." I held out my hand to him but he made no move to shake it, so I lowered my hand.
"Let's hurry and get this out of the way. I don't have all day." The taller one, Embry said.
Edward rolled his eyes as him.
We walked closer to them and he handed me the treaty. I read it over. It was quite simple really.
"We, the Cullen's, sign this treaty with the promise and agreement to not hunt on any Quileute land. Nor shall we bite or harm any human. In return, the Quileute's must stay off Cullen property and withhold any information on their true identities. None shall cross over the treaty lines.. If either party fails to stay within the boundaries, it here by voids this treaty and consequences shall be endured."
In other words, "I agree to sign this treaty and if I screw up you have the right to kill me."
I signed the bottom of the it, right under Jasper's signature.
"So Edward, you look tired. Did you get enough sleep after they party last night?" Seth asked. "I hope you come back over soon. It was really fun having you there.
I turned to Edward behind me and mouthed 'What party?' and narrowed my eyes at him.
"Yeah, it was fun. Tell Jacob I said thanks for inviting me."
"Okay, I will."
"Come Seth, We've got things to do." Embry huffed as he walked back to the truck.
"Well, I guess I'll se you later." Seth walked after Embry. "Call me if you ever want to hang out!" he called over his shoulder.
They drove off and we walked back inside into the living room.
I sighed. "Edward…You were at a werewolf party?"
"Yeah." He chuckled.
"It's not funny Edward. They're dangerous. What if they would have hurt you?"
"They wouldn't. They have more control than you might think." He smiled. "Besides, some of them are pretty cool. They aren't all as rude as Embry. I had a good time."
Good time, huh? I repeated as I opened my mind to him not trusting my voice.
I sighed. How could he be so careless? Regardless if they're in control or not, they're werewolves! They're still very dangerous.
"So are vampires." He said with a 'don't even try and deny it' look on his face.
I frowned.
"Touché" I said.
It still eats away at me that I came so close to killing Edward. How could I have been so careless.
"Don't dwell on the past, Bella."
"Sorry."
He smiled. "We shouldn't think about it too much. Now is what matters."
I couldn't help but smile back.
"Edward, those wolves, they looked so young."
"That's because they are. Embry is 17 and Seth is only 13."
I gasped. "That young? But why? Why them? They're so young, so much to live for than to belong to a pack of wolves! It's such a shame…"
"They didn't have much of a choice. When vampires settle close to their homes, the direct descendants from the former pack began to change. It just so happens that most of them are still very young. The original pack members, the ones who formed the treaty, were either too old to change or dead. Jacob Black is actually the only one from the original pack. As for the others, their children had to step in their place. It's quite sad really."
"It's a tragedy." Children…
Bella! We're back!
Alice's voice rang in my mind.
"Err, and I was really starting to enjoy the quiet." Edward said under his breath.
I laughed as Alice and the rest of the family entered the house through the backdoor.
Good work, Bella! I thought I would have to drag Edward out of his room when we returned. I had a vision that he locked himself up there and didn't come out all day. That is, until you decided to play that song, which by the way is very well written!
I smiled and nodded at her.
You know, sometimes I really hate her visions…always knowing what I'm going to do.
I turned my head quickly to Edward's thoughts. I laughed loudly and thought back my response.
Oh, I'm sure they'd think the same about your little ability as well. In fact, I'm sure they'd be extremely annoyed if they knew!
"Hey! So you want to let us in on your little joke, Edward?" Emmett playfully glared at me. "You know, it gets annoying sometimes that you can read everyone's mind, Bella!"
Edward chuckled. I guess you're right.
Emmett rolled his eyes and followed Rosalie upstairs.
Edward groaned. You're so lucky you can turn on and off your mind reading abilities when ever you please. Their thoughts get so perverted sometimes. And the things I end up seeing! Ugh…
Well, let's get out of here for awhile and escape their thoughts, before it gets too bad.
He smiled at my idea.
"Bella!" Alice was next to me in a flash and held my hand. "Let's go to mall!"
"Uh, Edward and I were just leaving though…"
"Well, he can come too if he wants." She said as she turned toward him.
Oh, Edward! Please, don't leave me alone with her! She'll buy the whole mall for me…
"Sure." He said loudly.
"I drive!" Alice exclaimed.
We went to the garage and stood in front of all the cars.
"Uh, so…which one are we taking?" I asked.
Alice squealed with excitement. "Really, Edward? You'll let me drive it?!"
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"My Vanquish" Edward said giving Alice his keys.
"Little Bro, you're definitely my favorite!"
We walked towards his shiny, black Aston Martin. Wow, Edward really had a good taste in cars. It definitely tops my Audi.
I sat in the back while Edward was in the passenger's seat and Alice drove.
For awhile the drive was pretty quiet. The radio was on playing and Alice was singing along to it in her mind.
Hey Bella, Maybe we could go to the music store at the mall today. There are a couple of new CDs I want you to listen to. Is that alright with you?
Yeah, that sounds good. What CDs?
Well there's this new Thrice album that came out I want to get. And there's a Linkin Park piano tribute CD I saw online that I want to check out.
Oh, I heard about that. It should be good.
Ha-ha, maybe we could ditch Alice when we get there too.
Alice growled.
Edward! Don't you dare ditch me at the mall.
I stiffened and looked at Alice and then at Edward. His face was full of shock and confusion.
"Oops." Alice said.
"Oops?" Edward asked skeptically.
"I…I guess I have a confession to make." I turned back to Alice. She had a look on her face that of a child who had just been caught doing something they weren't supposed to be doing.
"Well I…Edward, you see…I know about your…gift."
"What?!" Edward and I yelped at the same time. Alice winced.
"Um, I've known for awhile now, Edward." She smiled sheepishly. "Seriously though, did you think you could hide something this big from me?"
"How…When?" He asked still in shock.
"Well, It was actually the same day you found out about it, while I was driving back home from the mall that day. You were debating weather you should tell us about it or not. I got a vision of what would happen if you did tell us."
She replayed that vision for us in her mind.
Everyone was sitting in their usual spots in the living room.
"So what is it, son?" Carlisle asked.
Edward paced a little in front of them.
"Well, I think I'm going insane." He stopped pacing and stood before them all. "I…I think I can read all of your thoughts…I can read your minds."
Alice was smiling. Emmett started laughing hysterically. Everyone else was wide-eyed looking at Edward.
He sighed and sat in the arm chair with his face in his hands.
"Ok bro, prove it. What am I thinking about right now?" Emmett said with a sly smile and rolled his eyes.
Edward screamed and started to pull his hair.
"EMMETT! Stop thinking of my sister naked! PLEASE!"
"Holy shit, he can read my mind…" he said laughing obnoxiously.
Rosalie struck him hard on the back of his neck.
"Ow…what was that for Rosie?"
"For showing him what I look like naked!" she hissed.
"That was priceless!" I laughed.
"Oh god… Bella, you have no idea how horrible it is. That happens almost every day! And the worst part is, I can't tell him to stop because then everyone would know…" Edward cringed at the memory.
Alice giggled. "Well at least I'm a little more considerate. I wait to make sure you don't have to listen." She said with a smile.
"Yeah, but sometimes I still get Jasper and your lustful thoughts."
"Well, that I can't help." A new round of giggles escaped from Alice and I.
"Though at least you won't have to hide it from me anymore now that you know, I know. And no, I haven't and won't tell anyone else about this. I'll leave that decision to you, Edward."
"Thanks, Alice."
The rest of the ride to Seattle was quite fun. Alice let us in on some other visions she had every time Edward was indecisive about revealing his gift. They were all quite hilarious. Apparently one of her most recent visions was Edward slipping up by screaming at Rosalie and Emmett to stop being so damn perverted. But it got really awkward and a bit dangerous because Alice had to snatch him up on her back and run out of the house with him when Rosalie found out what his gift was. She wanted to rip Edward's head off for being so intrusive. Not that he could help it though. Edward was going to have to be a bit more careful, just in case.
We had a nice day at the mall. Edward and I bought a few CDs and a couple of new books. Of course Alice bought loads of new clothes. To which surprisingly, they were all for her except for 2 outfits for me.
When we were all done shopping and browsing, we decided to go watch a movie. Edward insisted on picking the one we saw: "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" What the hell is a Lycan? I hadn't heard of what the movie was about but after the first couple of minutes I figured it out.
"Edward…" I groaned.
"Bella?" he chuckled.
"Why, Edward? Why would you have us watch this?!" I whispered roughly.
"Because it's awesome. Have you really not seen Underworld 1 and 2? I'll have to make you watch them later."
I rolled my eyes. "How a vampire could ever love and have sex with a werewolf is beyond me. The smell alone would be revolting!" I mumbled to myself.
Apparently Alice and Edward heard my comment. They laughed in hysterics. The theater echoed 'shhhh' at the two for interrupting the balcony sex scene of said revoltion.
"Just watch the movie Bella. It's really good." He whispered in my ear.
His hot breath sent a spasm of heat throughout my body. I wanted to keep the sensation. It was so warm and different than what I'm used to feeling, being so cold all the time. I wanted him to do it again.
"Pay attention, Bella." Edward whispered in my ear again and chuckled.
Oh shit.
I turned to look at him. He gave me a crooked smile, winked at me, and pointed at the screen. Watch it.
I pushed away Edward's gift from my own.
How embarrassing…
I shrunk in my seat and tried my hardest to watch the movie and take my mind off of what just happened.
Unfortunately, It didn't last that long. I kept thinking, 'Oh shit, oh shit. I can't believe he heard me thinking about how his breath at my ear made me want his warmth…'
But wait, was he…flirting?
Gah! Pay attention, Bella! Stop. Thinking. Of. Edward.
This time I did watch the movie. It was actually quite entertaining. Not at all how it really would be with vampires and werewolves. The funniest part to see was how easily it was for the vampires to be killed in the film. Not realistic at all!
Then again, I was a myth anyways. So how realistic can I be?
"So, what'd you think of the movie, Bella?" Edward asked on the way back to Forks.
"It was surprisingly good. We should watch the other two tonight."
He smiled. "Well, the others are quiet interesting in their own way. It's a bit weird when they're trying to make mutant vampire/werewolves hybrids though. The main female vampire in that movie is a much better actress though. She's really cute too…"
I felt a brief feeling of jealousy that he thought the underworld vampire actress was 'cute'. That is, until he quickly added something else to the end of his sentence that made my heart almost start to beat again.
"…but you make a much more beautiful vampire, Bella."
He thinks I'm beautiful? Oh, Edward…
"Thanks." I said in almost an inaudible tone. He grinned.
And I know you're such a sucker…for anything acoustic…
I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID to see who was calling me.
"Aro."
Sooooooooo, what'd ya think?!
Hehe, I'm so evil. ^.^
Leave a review please! (It would really, REALLY make my day!)
