It was Saturday, and Bella was coming over. We were going to watch a new movie I had just gotten. I spoke to Carlisle, and he said the time was coming that I had to tell her. I had asked Alice how she would take it. But with this whole situation with the visions with Phil, every time she tried to see she came up blank. I was walking into this situation blind.

The doorbell rang, and I was there within a second. I waited an extra moment or two before opening the door. She smiled at me. Her eyes shined with happiness instead of the sadness and fear that had filled them when I first met her. There were times I would catch her deep in thought, and her eyes looked terrorized by the thoughts. Then I'd call her name, and she'd smile at me with sparkling eyes.

"Hey, Bells." I said wrapping an arm around her as I pulled her into the house.

She giggled. "Excited much?"

"Duh! Two hours of action packed awesomeness. What's there not to be excited about?" I said as we headed up the stairs to my room. Surprisingly, she only stumbled once. She sat down on my bed without hesitation as I set up the movie. I grabbed the remote and sat down beside her as I pulled her closer to me. She smiled and laid her head on my shoulder. I loved her being so close to me. Her scent was so intoxicating and calming. Not her blood but the smell of her hair and body. I had trained myself over the last week to the point that her blood hardly had any effect on me. I loved her too much to even think about such a thing like the taste of her blood.

We sat together watching the movie, even though, I was watching her more than it. She seemed entertained by it. Her head ended up on my chest. I wondered why she didn't notice my lack of heartbeat or that my body temperature was way too cold to be normal. Those would be alarming things to notice. She sat leaned against me completely content not bothered by the hardness or coldness of my body.

"Bella?" I said quietly.

"Hmm?"

"I have to talk to you." I said nervously as I paused the movie. She must have heard the nervousness and seriousness in my voice because she sat up right away and looked at me with concern in her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

I took her smaller, warmer hands into mine. "I… I would never hurt you, Bella, you know that right?" She tilted her head to the side in confusion and nodded. "Um, I have no idea how to say this."

She reached up and ran her hand over my cheek. I actually almost shiver. What has this girl done to me? "Just say it." She whispered. "You can tell me anything."

"I really, really like you a lot, Bella." I sound like I have a fourth grade crush, great! "But, um… my family and I aren't normal." I looked at her carefully. She didn't looked alarmed or even surprise. She just nodded for me to go on. "And when I tell you this, you can leave if you want. I won't make you stay." She still just nodded for me to go on. Her hand still lingered on my cheek. "Bella, we… we're… um, we're vampires." She probably didn't hear that with how quietly I said it. I dropped my head feeling shame and regret wash over me. I wanted Bella so much, now I knew I wouldn't be able to have her. I waited to feel the bed move or for her to make any sign that she as leaving. Instead, I felt a weight on my lap. I felt her hand move to my chin, and she tilted my head up so I was looking at her. I looked at her with confusion evident on my face.

She didn't say anything. She just leaned forward and kissed me. If my heart had been beating, it would have stopped all with that one kiss. It was amazing. She wrapped her arms wound my neck as I pulled her closer to me. She pulled back after a second with slightly uneven breathing and laid her forehead against mine. I looked at her questioningly. "I know." She whispered.

"What?"

She smiled at me. "I've heard the myths before. I noticed that you didn't eat and your skin is cold and you're worried about La Push and your heart doesn't beat and you're way too beautiful to be anything human." She told me. I gaped at her. She knew, and she's here. She's known for god knows how long and she's still here.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I wasn't positive, and I figured eventually if you wanted me to know you'd tell me. And you did."

"Then why are you still here?" I whispered running my fingers through her amazingly soft hair.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Other than the fact we're blood drinking monsters."

"Don't call yourself a monster." She chastised. "You don't harm humans from what I've heard. You've never done anything to hurt me."

"You shouldn't want to be around me."

"But I do."

"You shouldn't. You should be running away screaming."

"I don't do a lot of the things I should." She said as she ran her fingers through my hair.

"I don't understand you. I tell you I drink blood, and you kiss me." She smiled and giggled lightly.

"I figured it be a good way to tell you that I'm not scared of you." Her hand trailed down the side of my face. I found myself leaning into her touch ever so slightly.

"You're not scared?"

"I thought I would be, but I'm not."

I looked at her in amazement. Does this girl lack all sense of self-preservation? She could be lying just to make me feel better, but I knew she wasn't. Before I could stop myself, I leaned forward and kissed her again. She smiled against my lips before returning my kiss. I pulled her closer to me keeping my arms securely wrapped around her waist. I ran my tongue along her bottom lip. I might have been pushing my luck, but I couldn't help myself. She slowly opened her mouth allowing my tongue to slip in. She tasted so good. I wanted more. She moaned as her fingers ran through my hair. After a second, she pulled back a little breathing heavily.

"Humans have to breathe." She whispered. Oops. I leaned my forehead against hers allowing her to catch her breath again.

Oh my god! That kiss was so… oh my god! My heart is going crazy to the point I think it might break through my ribs and pop out. I stayed in his lap as I tried to get my breathing and my heart rate under control. His breathing seems hardly effected, which probably has something to do with him being a vampire. He ran his fingers through my hair a few times without moving out foreheads apart. I could get used to this.

Slowly, as I replace the oxygen I lost, my brain begins to work again. Oh how I wish it wouldn't! What does this mean!? Beyond the obvious that I am in undeniable in love with and just kissed a vampire, what does this mean? Does he feel the same way? Does he love me? No. That can't be. He's just caught up in the moment. Too awestruck that someone would accept him as who he is and what he is.

"What are you thinking about?" He mumbled as his thumb stroked my cheek.

"Nothing." I sighed. I didn't meet his eyes even though he seemed to be trying to get me to do so.

"Come on, Bells, tell me what's on your mind." He pouted slightly bringing out lips even closer. I desperately wanted to close the distance.

I took a deep breath. Now or never. "Emmett… I…" I looked down trying to avoid his gaze, but he immediately tipped my chin up ever so slightly so that I had no other choice but to look at him. His eyes looked pained with anticipation of something bad no doubt. I moved my forehead from his, so I could see him more clearly.

"It's okay, Bella. You don't have to be here if you don't want to." His eyes filled with shame, disappointment, and pain.

"You think I don't mean what I said?"

"It's only natural. I don't blame you." This was totally un-Emmett-like. He looked so sad completely different from the happy, playful teddy bear of a man only a couple hours ago. He wouldn't meet my eyes, and he looked like he might start crying at any moment. I felt tears welling in my own eyes. I didn't want to see him sad.

Reaching up, I stroked the side of his face softly. "I wasn't going to say that." I said softly.

When he finally looked at me, I could see the confusion in his eyes. "What were you going to say?"

I took another deep breath. "Emmett…" I couldn't help but take another deep breath. "I'mfallinginlovewithyou." I said it so quickly I don't know if he heard me. Part of me hoped he hadn't just so I didn't need to feel the rejection. Part of me needed to know knowing that continuing with my obsession with him without knowing is becoming majorly unhealthy. Still, I couldn't bring myself to look at him instead I turned my head away from him and stared out the window. In an instant I felt my head being turned in so I was facing him again. Before I could make two coherent thoughts, his lips crashed against mine. The kiss was more passionate, more urgent the last. His tongue slipped past my lips making me open them wider. I pressed myself closer and closer to him as my hands found his hair. I felt his cold hands slipping under the back of my shirt and settle on my back. I shivered but not because of the cold but because of the surge of pleasure that overtook my body.

He pulled back ever so slightly. "Sorry." He mumbled. I noticed his coal back eyes that stared back at me.

"Oh." My cheeks went up in flames as his hand rubbed over my cheek. "I assume that's bad."

"Not really. I can control it." He gave me a crooked smile before looking serious again. "I would never hurt you."

"I know." I said quietly.

"I love you too, Bella." He finally said.

"Thank god." I sighed with relief and kissed his forehead. He chuckled a deep chuckle as he pulled me into his arms and flipped me under him.

"Damn it." Emmett mumbled as he rolled to the side.

"What?"

Before he answered, the door flew open, crashed against the wall, and shattered. I jumped nearly six feet in the air as my hand flew to my chest. Alice was screaming at the top of her lungs as she jumped up and down clapping her hands together. I hardly noticed when Jasper got her to stop screaming because my ears were stilling ringing so loudly.

"Oh my god, I don't think I can hear." I said. Emmett glared at Alice and wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him. Slowly, the ringing subsided, and I could hear once again.

"I'm just so happy for you guys." I don't think she could physically stop jumping up and down.

"Alice, calm down." Jasper said smiling apologetically at me. She finally took a deep breath and grinned at me. "Come on, let's leave them alone now."

"No." She pouted. "I want to hang out with Bella. We have to gossip about Emmett and you! It's a rite of passage."

"Gossip about me? Is that what you and Rose do?" He glared playfully at her, and I couldn't help but smile at the love that they obviously shared.

"Maybe." She bit her lip for a second before adding, "Only good things, of course."

"We'll gossip later, Alice." I promised.

"I'll hold you to that." She grinned before pulling Jasper away from the door.

"No personal boundaries." I asked grinning at Emmett.

"Not at all." He chuckled and pulled me on top of him. I smiled down at him as he lifted his head to meet my lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."
