Lexi groaned in pain the next morning as the sunlight hit her face. She growled and hid under the covers. She hardly remembered what happened the night before. Fuzzy images started popping up, like when Jessica offered her the drink, then dancing with some guy she didn't even know, and last Edward taking her home, which led her to throw up.
"Do you do the opposite to what they tell you, my child?"
Lexi looked up and saw a fuzzy image of Gabriel. She put on her glasses and saw the disappointed look on his face. She smiled weakly. "Gabriel," she rasped.
"Does it hurt a lot?" he asked.
Lexi nodded slowly, trying to prevent the pain. "Please, make it go away," she moaned.
Gabriel shook his head. "This is your punishment, Lexi. You should have listened to Alice."
"How was I supposed to know that there was liquor is that thing? It didn't even smell like liquor," she said, sitting slowly on the bed.
"Well, I guess it's one of those fruity drinks young people drink nowadays," he said.
"I feel like a fool," she said. "I don't know why I could have trusted that… bitch!" she snarled. There was a loud bolt of lightning that Lexi could swear it hit right behind the house.
"Lexi," said Gabriel, shaking his head. "You must learn how to control your anger. It doesn't look like it now, but she will pay all her sins when it's time to judge her."
Lexi huffed. "I guess."
Gabriel smiled and patted her gently. "I quickly came to tell you that he's healing, Lexi."
Lexi looked up at Gabriel. "Edward? He is? H-How?"
There was a sudden knock on the door and a smiling Gabriel disappeared immediately before the door opened. "Lexi!" said Carlisle cheerfully, making her wince in pain.
"Hi," she grumbled.
He chuckled. "Here I brought you a pill for the headache. Apparently, you still have the human characteristics, but you are immune to our venom and can… fly."
Lexi smiled and gulped the pill down. "Thank you and yes. Gabriel told me that it'll happen."
"Gabriel? Is he the person you talk to?" he asked.
Lexi furrowed her brow. "What?" She was supposed to be the only one that could see him and hear him, making sure that no one could listen.
"We all here you talk to yourself. Our hearing is sensitive. We were just hoping you weren't going crazy," he said.
"Oh," said Lexi. "Well, yes, I talk to him. He especially comes when I'm in need or if I need advice. Speaking of which, where's Edward?" she asked.
"He's… Well, just listen," he said. Lexi stayed quiet, trying to hear what Carlisle was hearing. There was a small tune coming down stairs. It was a beautiful melody. She closed her eyes trying to captivate the music. It was soothing to her heart and she almost felt her headache drift away. She honestly didn't know if it was the pill or the music.
She reopened her eyes and saw Carlisle smiling at her. "Is that… Edward?"
He nodded. "Yes, he started to play again."
Lexi smiled. "That means he's getting better!" she said excitedly, but groaned feeling her ache returned.
Carlisle laughed. "Why don't you shower and your breakfast would be ready soon."
Lexi sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. She went over to the shower and turned it on. She quickly took off her clothes plus her glasses and got in. She moaned as the warm water gently hit her body. She closed her eyes, still hearing Edward's music being played. Her heart swelled with emotion. Her thoughts got lost thinking back to the night before. She started to remember Edward's eyes the way they twitched in anger or when they soften in affection.
Her eyes widen when she heard something fall to the floor. She pulled the curtain to see who was there, but saw no one. She gulped seeing the window also open. What scared her most was that there was no music being played.
"W-Where's Edward?" she asked Esme, as she ate. The others were out hunting and Carlisle had to leave for an emergency call to the hospital. "Did he go hunting with the others?"
Esme shook her head. "No, he went last week. I think he's in his room," she said, taking Lexi's plate.
Lexi got up and carefully walked back upstairs. His room was just across hers. Her room was used as some sort of garage, but since she arrived, the Cullens decided to clean it up and store the things somewhere else.
She softly knocked on the door and waited for Edward to open. She didn't have to wait more than two seconds before Edward opened the door.
Lexi smiled. "Hi," she said.
"Hello," he murmured.
"I-I, uh, can I come in," she stammered.
Edward hesitated for a minute, but opened the door for her. She walked in and looked around. After weeks of living in the Cullen household, she had yet to see Edward's bedroom.
"Nice room," she said. The irony is that it looked a bit messy. There were stacks for books by his bedside and another stack of CD's, tapes, and discs by the stereo furniture.
"It's messy," he said. Lexi shivered. She didn't realize he was standing so close to her. "Cold?" he asked. Lexi simply shook her head. She gasped as she felt his breath closer to her neck, his face nestled between her hair. "Do you remember what happened last night?'
"N-No," she quivered.
"You were dancing erotically with some teenage hormonal boy," he spat.
"I wasn't aware of that. I didn't know what I was doing," she said, closing her eyes, feeling the seduction of Edward's body.
"If I were not to show up, God knows what would have happened," he said. His finger tips were barely tracing her arms.
"Alice and the rest wouldn't have allowed him to do anything to me," she said, leaning back to him. She was suddenly harshly turned around, crushing to his body.
"Do you enjoy provoking me?" he growled. "How do you know he wasn't a vampire? We could make ourselves seem human. How could they have prevented you to be taken away? He could be as dangerous as me."
Edward had backed her up to a wall. She was suddenly frightened of him. She had yet to see Edward this angry and it scared her. "E-Edward, please, you're frightening me. You're hurting me!" she whispered.
Edward stared into her eyes and slowly loosen his grip but didn't let go. He suddenly smirked. "You're supposed to be my guardian angel not the other way around. I cannot protect you from every evil that is out there. Human and vampire or even werewolf alike."
"W-Werewolf?" she asked. "Why…?"
"I heard the mutt's thoughts," he hissed. "He was in it, too, to please Bella. All he cares about is her and satisfying her and himself."
"You mean Jacob, right? Why would Bella want this though?" Lexi's eyes suddenly widen in realization. "She's jealous."
"What?" said Edward, taking a step back.
Lexi nodded. "Yes, she wants you back. That's why she did this."
Edward shook his head, turning away from her. "No, she doesn't. She wouldn't have slept with him if she did love me."
"How could you say that, Edward?!" cried Lexi getting angry. She walked in front of him making him look at her. "She is capable of doing anything. How could you defend her after what she did to you? Or are you just her little bitch?"
Something in Edward snapped and he lifted his hand as if to slap Lexi. She froze as Edward lifted his hand and waited for his hand to collide with her face, but he was too frozen in place. He was shocked at what he was about to do. Not once has he ever hit a woman before, especially a mortal.
Lexi closed her eyes and felt her warm tears fall. "Why don't you just do it? Get it over with. Isn't this what you wanted? To get rid of me, to make me shut up."
Lexi was about to leave, but Edward closed the door quicker than her before she had a chance to turn the knob. "I-I'm sorry, Lexi. I don't know what I was thinking."
"You were following your urges and instincts. Only your heart can control that." She tried to move his hand, but of course it didn't budge.
"Lexi, please, you're the only person I can fully trust right now," he said slowly, looking into her eyes. Lexi sighed as she let the words slowly sink in. She moved closer and hugged his hard body.
"I hate it when we argue," she whispered.
"So do I," he said, wrapping his arms around her.
Lexi blushed thinking about what happened when she was showering earlier. "Edward, can you be completely and outmost honest with me?" she asked.
"Yes," he said.
She looked up at him. "Was it you who was in the bathroom this morning?" She could have sworn that if Edward were human, he'd be turning ten shades of red.
"It wasn't my intention to disrespect you in any way. I was just… curious if you were feeling alright…" He was cut off when Lexi put her hand over his mouth.
"You are such a bad liar, Edward," she said. She gasped when she was pushed back on his sofa, being pinned by him. Part of her was excited, but the other was almost fearful. He slowly inhaled her aroma, making his mouth water. He leaned in so his lips were only inches away from hers.
Instead his mouth drifted away from her lips and focused on her neck. She moaned as she felt his tongue tracing her neck, his mouth gentle kissing every inch it could taste. Edward looked up at her pleasure. Her mouth was slightly opened, moans coming out of it, her eyes half closed staring at the ceiling, fluttering and trying to keep them open. He could hear her heart beat rise. He could feel her blood run through her veins like all those other times.
His animal instincts were controlling him again. He didn't think he could stop it this time. Lexi's eyes widen when he felt Edward's teeth pierce her skin. She gasped at the feeling that felt so good. Her hands rubbed his back to his neck, while her body arched back in ecstasy.
"Edward," she moaned.
Edward grimaced when she moaned his name, releasing his teeth from her neck. He was afraid that if he drank any more blood, he would kill her. He gasped for the familiar air, watching in fascination as her wound disappeared almost immediately, but her body was still reacting to the bite. He became aroused, feeling her move closer to his pelvis.
Lexi swallowed and breathed heavily. Her hand traveled from her hair, to her face, down her neck. She hissed at the tender spot. There was still a bruise there, but it looked more like a hickey. Edward groaned as her other hand moved down her body, brushing past her breast and going down to her stomach area.
Before it could go lower, Edward snatched her hand. He was already hard and he didn't need more encouragement. Lexi looked back at him and watched as his eyes turn to a golden yellow to a bright green.
She blushed when she thought of what could have happened if Edward had not stopped her. "Wow," she simply said.
"I'm sorry, Lexi. I shouldn't have done this, but you taste so… delicious," he purred.
Lexi ran her fingers through his hair. "I love to see your eyes turn green," she said.
"Lexi, I don't want to hurt you," he said, sadly,looking at her love puppy eyes.
Lexi smiled. "I rather get hurt than see you suffer. I could tell that you needed that for a while."
Edward nodded. "So much for being a vegetarian," he mumbled.
"Diets are meant to be broken," she whispered.
Edward smiled and stroked her hair. "You have such beautiful hair," he commented.
Lexi scowled. "It's too long. Maybe I should cut it…"
"No! I like it," he interrupted. "Don't ever cut it."
Lexi grinned. "OK, then," she said, moving her hand to the buttons of his shirt. Edward grabbed her hands and placed them over her head.
"An angel turned minx?" he asked.
"I-I have never felt this Edward," she said. "I've never had a boyfriend and this is unknown to me. This thing that makes me desire you. I feel like I can't control it sometimes."
"You have no idea how I feel about you," he said. "Your flesh calls to me, telling me to take a bite. That's all I need. One small bite of you to be satisfied."
"Edward," she whispered. "H-Have you ever been with a woman before?"
He shook his head. "But I've read a lot about intercourse between a man and a woman."
Lexi bit her lip. She could hear commotion come from downstairs for her misfortune. "Maybe you can show me later what you learned in those books," she said boldly.
Edward moved as Lexi got up to leave. She smiled giving him one last look before leaving. Edward sighed lying back on his couch, thinking about Lexi. She was driving him mad. Temptation for her blood wasn't all that he was after. The temptation of the flesh is what he truly craved for.
