Let Me Love You

Chapter Six

Shock was not a strong enough word to describe Emmett's expression. But it was soon replaced by anger and pure hatred.

"Give. Me. The. Camera. Alice!" he said between gritted teeth, seriously considering on actually beating a girl up.

"Sure thing, big brother!" Alice surprised him when she just tossed him the device. If I couldn't read minds, I'd be as confused as he was right not.

"Uh...yeah! Right!" he obviously didn't know how to respond to the sudden change of heart. Or what he thought is as.

Bella covered her mouth quickly, trying to stifle the giggles that were about to pour out of her soft, full lips. So beautiful...I wonder if they will feel as soft as they look against mi-

-JAB-

"Ow!" once again, I was rubbing the sore spot. Dang, that's gonna bruise...

"For the love of God, have you never had a damn crush ever?!" Jasper ridiculed, but still only loud enough for me to hear, smiling like everything was normal.

"Well, you would know; always feeling my emotions 24/7 and all!" I hissed back, not looking directly at him, and staring out at the scene that his gaze was on as well. Alice had the biggest smile on her face at the moment.

"But I'm going to need the camera back soon" Alice looked like she was a kid on a sugar-high. If she jumped any faster, she'd turn invisible—not to mention ruining her new Gucci flats, which I doubt she'd be too happy about afterwards.

You could practically hear a light bulb 'DING!' over Emmett's tall frame, before he replied with a "Sure thing" and whipped the video recorder into the pavement. Rosalie and Jasper dropped their jaws in alarm, not believing that he went as far as breaking the thing into a million pieces.

"HA! What are you gonna do now?!" Emmett's booming laughter could be heard from miles away; passerby's stopping to give him weird looks, proving me correct.

"I have the disc in my hand, Smart-one" Alice giggled, twirling the CD between her fragile looking fingertips.

Everyone burst into laughter, at Emmett's expense, after he just shot back a "Meany!" as his only comeback. When everyone let out all their humor, Alice pointed a finger into the sky like a superhero.

"Off to the bat-mobile!" she faked seriousness in the lowest voice she could manage, and was off to her Porsche with Emmett yelling "Hey! Come back here!" going after Alice, with Rosalie trying to catch up to Emmett, and Jasper, shaking his head chuckling and fallowing the three.

"Well there goes my ride" Bella mumbled, but you could tell she wasn't really mad at all, with that radiant smile spread across her flawless face.

"Here, I'll drive you home" I held out my hand to her, chuckling, smiling my crooked grin. I don't know where the sudden confidence came from, but I was glad it came at an opportune time like this.

"Thanks" she took my hand, looking up at me with her doe-like chocolate brown eyes through her long, thick eyelashes, with a small blush powdered on her delicate cheeks. A smile still gracing her lips into a smirking gesture at my sibling's little show.

The same electric spark shot through me like it did earlier. Bella still didn't seem to have felt it once again, not even looking at our clasped hands as though anything unusual was happening. I left it, too embarrassed to bring it up and talk to her about it.

When we got to my silver Volvo, I opened the passenger door for her and she said a quiet "Thank you" before getting in. I shut the door, and quickly made my way to the drivers side and hopped in. I stuck the keys in the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot quickly.

There was silence for a few minutes, before it felt too awkward for me, and I broke it with a question, hoping to get to know her better.

"So...how to you like Forks so far?" I didn't take my eyes off the road—though I didn't need to pay much attention—too afraid to look her in the eye.

"It's really different from Voltera, with the rain and all, but besides that, really fun, I'm really glad you guys are here. I wouldn't exactly know how to make good friends with humans, you know?" I could tell she was looking at me through my peripheral vision.

"Yeah, it would be hard to keep the whole existence of vampires a secret with people like Jessica and Newton around," I spat his name out like it was poison and Bella laughed "and besides that, they can be so...revolting sometimes, with their raging hormones and all"

"Yeah" she laughed, nodding in agreement.

"What's-" she cut off my next question with one of her own.

"Do you want to just play 20 questions?" her musical laughter filled the small space that was my car.

"Sure" I chuckled and continued to ask my question, "What's your favorite color?"

That seemed to catch her by surprise. she furrowed her perfect eyebrows, tapping her chin lightly, in deep thought.

"Well...I don't exactly have a favorite color." She finally answered.

"What do you mean?" I was confused. Everyone had a favorite color.

"Mine changes from day to day, but I'd say that my favorite color today is...brown"

"Brown? Why brown?" That was an unusual favorite color. Most people would prefer something like blue or red.

"Because it's a color this town lacks; there's too much green." I laughed. "And brown is a warm, comforting, dry color, unless you count the mud." I thought about it. She did have a point, it was too wet and cold, and there was beyond doubt too much green in this small town.

"I guess you're right" I chuckled, nodding in agreement.

"So, what's your's" I glanced at her and before I could stop myself, I blurted my answer out.

"Blue" Did I mention it was the color of her sweater that she had changed into, before we left to the mall? No? Well that was why if I could, I would be as red as a tomato.

"Why?" she laughed. Apparently she didn't notice the reason...thank god.

"Well...um..." I swiftly scrambled through my brain for an excuse. "It's soft, also something this town lacks of—thanks to the absence of the sun—and is just an amazing color" Especially on you...I wanted to add. Yeah, that was the best I could come up with. What's wrong with me today?

"Hmm...true" she smiled up at me. There was a strange feeling in my stomach, like butterflies of some sort...must be the deer I had last night.

We went on asking each other the most random questions the rest of the way back to her place, from favorite band, to favorite thing to eat (but our answers were obviously extremely different).

I pulled up to her house way too soon for my liking. I should've stuck to the speed limit, I cursed myself inside my head for not thinking of it earlier.

She opened the gates and I drove up her driveway to her grand home.

"Thanks for the ride, Edward" and then she did the most unexpected thing; she leaned over the console and kissed me. Okay, not on the lips (although I wished), but on the cheek, and I swear I could've felt my dead heart beat erratically the few milliseconds.

"Bye, see you tomorrow" she opened the car door and got out.

As soon as she got inside and closed the door, I slowly brought my hand up to the cheek she had just brushed her lips on. It still tingled, and the biggest grin was plastered on my face the rest of the way home.

That was definitely not the deer from last night.

This was going to be written much later, but you're lucky; IT'S A SNOW DAY FOR ME TODAY:D Good thing too, cuz I stayed up til 2 in the morning cuz I couldn't sleep, but bad cuz I wasted an hour trying to rush and finish my geo project cuz I'm a HUGE procrastinator. Well I'm getting better and not slacking off till last minute but I still get my moments. I'll be fixing it later, but right now, I'm too lazy. I'm really only being lazy cuz I've been SUPER busy the last week and not to mention sick (I'm still slightly sick though -.-") Oh yea, and I actually managed to pull myself to a passing grade for science LOL, but it was SO not worth the video I watched the last class of biology. I ended up watching 'The Miracle of Life' –shivers- anyone watch it before? Where some lady gives BIRTH?! OMG that was the sickest video I've EVER seen! The class next door to mine (there's like a door and windows connecting our two classes) kept looking into ours and it wasn't until the actual 'giving birth' part did I realize that they were waiting for our reactions when it actually got to the scene (they watched it the day before us) and they could hear our whole class screaming our asses off and I accidentally looked THREE TIMES! (I know what you're thinking,smart eh?)The first time, I thought that everyone was lying and that the video didn't actually show a woman giving birth, but I was SO SO wrong. I've never been more wrong in my life...and the second and third time, I thought it was over and HOLY FUCK! MY EYES! After the video was over, I've never been so scared in my life. Seriously, I'd rather watch Saw 1,2,3,4 AND 5 then watch that video again...and I might not ever want a child ever again (unless maybe adopted). THANK GOD, I'm doing physics now :D (it's supposed to be harder but screw, I HATE learning about reproduction). Okay, change of topic. I'm just like Bella, I hate winter. I couldn't even start my x-mas shopping yesterday because there was SO. MUCH. DAMN. SNOW! Not to mention freezing rain! Grr...

Kay, I think that's all that's left of my life story so imma go now

Buh-Bye :)
