A Friendly Conversation

Everyone was still in class by the time Edward and I made it back to the parking lot. We decided to live dangerously and just skip the rest of the day. Hell, we might as well since we didn't even go to our morning classes. Edward wanted to meet Aunt Hope officially, so we decided to go to my house. I went to my car and I assumed that Edward would take his car. Just as I was about to drive off, Edward jumped into my car in his vampire sonic speed.

"Edward, what are you doing? What about your car?" I asked him.

"Jasper will drive it home." he replied as I started driving us to my house.

"Wait, how do you know that he will?"

"Because I told him."

"I didn't hear you talk. Oh yeah, I forgot about your Jedi mind trick thing."

"It's not really a trick. I can just read minds."

"And communicate apparently. Do you get to control their minds and make them do and say stuff like Obi-Wan?"

"No, nothing like that. I can just speak to my family in our minds."

"Cool beans. So can you read my mind?"

"Actually no."

"Really?"

"Really. I can read everyone's mind, apart from yours."

"Whoa, that's trippy. Is there something wrong with me or something?"

Edward started chuckling, which sounded hella sexy.

"I tell you I'm a vampire and can read minds, and you think there's something wrong with you?"

"I'm a very eccentric person, Edward. I thought you would have figured that out by now. Besides, I'm not exactly in the Human category myself, in case you've forgotten."

"How can I forget? I did rub your belly after all." he replied as he smirked at me.

"Which felt very nice by the way. Though I'm still surprised that you did that. Aren't you and werewolves enemies?"

"Well the Quileutes are definitely not our friends, but like I told you, I couldn't hate you even if I wanted to."

"Same goes for me double. Especially since I'm friends with them. But if they don't like the fact that I'm with you, then that's their misfortune."

"And what about Hope? What will she think about this?"

"Don't worry; she's totally cool about it. I told her that I was sure you were a vampire, and she said that if you really aren't dangerous, then it was nothing to worry about. She's very open minded, you'll like her."

"You must love her very much."

"I do. She's the only family I have left, blood related or not. I'd be lost without her."

Edward touched my cheek, his cold hand felt amazing on my skin, sending shivers down my spine. We spent the rest of the car ride in a comfortable silence. Then, after hearing enough silence, I decided to educate Edward on some Repo. We made it to my house by the end of Legal Assassin. It actually surprised me to find out that Edward really liked the music.

"You certainly were not kidding when you said how amazing this music is." he told me as we were exiting the car and walking to the front door.

"I told you. Now you just have to watch the movie. But that will have to wait until after you meet Aunt Hope."

The door was unlocked since Aunt Hope was home from work, so we just walked in.

"Lucy, I'm home!" I yelled out in my very crappy Ricky Ricardo impression.

Aunt Hope walked towards us from the living room. She saw Edward and just gave a bright smile.

"Hey guys. I see you guys are ditching school for the day, you rebels." Aunt Hope teased.

I knew she would be cool about us playing hooky considering our current situation. She turned to face Edward, giving him a big welcoming smile and held out her hand.

"You obviously must be Edward. It's very nice to meet you, I'm Hope Carter."

"It's nice to meet you too, Miss Carter." Edward replied as he shook Aunt Hope's hand.

"Oh no, please don't call me 'Miss Carter'. Call me 'Hope'; 'Miss Carter' makes me feel old."

"But you are old, so shouldn't he just go ahead and call you 'Miss Carter'?" I asked her teasingly.

"Vivie, I love you. But so help me if you call me 'old' one more time, I will kick your snarky little ass in front of your boyfriend."

From the corner of my eye, I can see Edward's perfect lips twitching as he was trying not to laugh.

"Ok ok ok, let's call it a truce for right now, so Edward won't have to pry us apart, ok?"

I said.

"Fine" Aunt Hope replied dejectedly.

"Friends?" I asked.

"Till the end." She still sounded defeated when she said that.

Edward couldn't hold it in anymore and just started laughing at our affectionate behavior towards each other.

"Are you two always like this?" he asked.

"Hell yeah." we replied in unison.

"Well let's go to the living room and have a little rap session." Aunt Hope announced as she lead us to the living room.

"'Rap session'? Either you're trying to sound hip, or you really are old for using that phrase." I giggled at her.

"Watch it, ingrate." she snapped back at me.

Edward and I sat down on the love seat, and Aunt Hope sat on the chair facing us. It was time for our serious talk. Serious, yeah right, but whatever.

"So Edward, since you and Vivian are here instead of at school, I'm going to guess that you are what Vivie thinks you are."

"Yes. I'm a vampire."

"And I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you know what we are." She then held her hand up before I could say anything, "I know what happens when you assume, Vivie, so don't say it."

"Ok." I replied as I gave her a cheesy smile.

Edward smiled at me before he replied.

"Yes, I know what you and Vivian are; it doesn't bother me at all."

"Really? Wow, I guess Billy and the others are more prejudice than I thought you would be." Aunt Hope said.

"We have our differences, yes, but that won't stop me from being with Vivian. No offence to you, of course."

"Oh don't worry, I may be friends with them, but that doesn't mean I follow their way of thinking. Besides, anyone who loves my Vivie so much to save her life and be with her no matter what is pretty damn good in my book."

We all smiled at each other. Edward held onto my hand, caressing it with his smooth, pale, cold fingers.

"So your family's like you too, right?" Aunt Hope asked Edward.

"Yes. We've been a family for over eighty years; Carlisle is really like a father to us."

"Oh and get this, Edward can read people's minds." I jumped into the conversation.

"Really? That's so cool! So can you control people's minds too, like Obi-Wan?" Aunt Hope exclaimed.

Edward looked back and forth between Aunt Hope and I.

"You two really are alike, huh?" he asked.

"Yep." I replied.

He chuckled as he answered Aunt Hope's question.

"Vivian asked me the same thing. I cannot control minds, or do the 'Jedi mind trick'. I can just hear what people are thinking, and I can communicate my family through our minds."

"Wow, that's really trippy. Can any of your family members do stuff like that?" she asked.

"My sister Alice can see the future. It's based on a person's decisions, their future changes if they change their minds on a decision."

"Wow. Did she see me coming?" I asked him.

"She knew something new and interesting was going to happen but she didn't see you."

"Dude, am I special, or is there really something wrong with me?"

"There's nothing wrong with you, Vivian. Anyway, Jasper, Alice's mate, can manipulate emotions."

"Like an empath?" Aunt Hope asked.

"Exactly. He can feel everyone's emotions, and he can control their emotions as well."

"No wonder he looks like a kicked puppy every time I see him in school." I said.

"Yes. Imagine walking into a room full of people and being hit with all of their emotions at once: anger, lust, sadness, happiness, depression, everything. It can be too much to bare."

"That sounds like it really sucks."

"It does, but it's not all bad. He can make people calm if needed."

"Your family sounds very interesting, Edward. We all have to get together sometime." Aunt Hope said.

"Aunt Hope, you just want to check out Carlisle, you know you do." I told her.

"Um excuse me, Missy, but you're the one who called your boyfriend's dad a DILF."

"Do I even want to know what that is?" Edward asked.

"Well, I'm going to be honest with you, Edward. Your dad's hot." I told him.

"Now I feel very uncomfortable." he replied to me.

"Oh don't get your panties in a twist; this was when I hated your guts."

"That makes me feel so much better."

"Oh shut up, you little drama queen." I said as I playfully slapped his shoulder as he started laughing.

"Well, I think that's enough interrogating for right now don't you think?" I asked Aunt Hope.

"Ok, I get it. You little love birds want some alone time, so I'll back off for now."

"That's all I'm asking."

Edward and I stood up and I held his hand as we started walking to the stairs up to my room.

"Edward and I are going to hang out in my room for a bit." I yelled out to Aunt Hope as we were walking up the stairs.

"Ok. Use a condom!" she yelled back at me.

"I always do!" I replied.

Edward laughed at our exchange, knowing that Aunt Hope was joking about the condom

comment.

"You and Hope are very interesting together." Edward told me as we made it to my bedroom door.

"You'll get used to it."
