Yeey! I didn't kill Edward! Hope you'll enjoy this chapter...
I still don't own Twilight, it owns me...
Once inside his room, Edward threw me a coy sideways glance. He was nervous being alone in a room with me. My heart swell with this realization, it was cute. I slowly closed in on him, until the tips of my shoes were touching his. I stared deeply into his eyes, trying my best to communicate all the confidence I had in him and me, in us.
When he took in a hitched breath I raised my hands and cupped his face. His eyes widened as my mouth approached his. As I parted my lips and lightly blew, a strange sound emerged from his throat. Then my mouth finally touched his. The kiss was sweet and caring.
"I'm so happy to be finally kissing you like this." I said when I pulled back to look at him. "These last few weeks were hell! It really hurt to see Alec taking advantage of your memory loss. To see you look at me with hate in your eyes." I spoke more softly with every word.
"I'm sorry!" Edward almost shouted. "I shouldn't have believed Alec, I really shouldn't have! I wasn't even in love with the guy, but I wanted him to love me so much! For him to accept me, accept us. He played me, he played us! I should rip his head from his…"
"Edward," I interrupted him. "I know, I don't blame you, I'm just saying it hurt. And as much as I would love to inflict as much pain on Alec as we could possibly cause him, I don't think it's a good idea to actually do something to him. We are in a lot of trouble at school as is, I would hate to give Mr Greene an actual reason to come after us."
Edward let out a deep sigh, I could see the thoughts raging behind his beautiful green eyes. He sighed again in defeat. "You're right, we shouldn't make this harder on ourselves. Though I could always kill him in his sleep." I couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm not having you anywhere near him when he's asleep, nor awake for that matter. I'm a very patient person, well actually, I'm not." I thought my words through carefully for a moment. "I won't tell you who you can be friends with, I'm not the controlling kind. But I feel strongly about you not spending any of your time with that asshole!"
I was intent on seeing his reaction, so I noticed when he slightly winced while shifting his weight to his other leg. "Are you sure you're ok?" I asked him, he just nodded. "I was so scared, when your dad dragged you off, I was afraid he was going to kill you." I placed small kisses all over his face. His cheeks, his jaw, his eyes, his mouth.
"Remind... me to thank... your... mo... mother later!" he tried to say between hitched breaths, as I sucked the hollow under his ear and bit his earlobe.
"Shhhhh," I replied and took control over his mouth again. I could always kiss this boy, wherever, whenever. Finally I was with him, he was with me and it was right.
I felt him lower his body and his hands reached for my belt. I stopped him and pulled back. He looked up at me with wide questioning eyes. There was a slight tremor in his bottom lip, just before he took it in between his teeth. I didn't want him to think I didn't want him, so I quickly took his hands between mine.
"As much as I would love to do more than just kiss you, the house is filled with family. Yours and mine. I really wanted a moment together after all this crazy mess, but we should go downstairs and join the fight that is essentially ours." A blush shot over his face, like he only just remembered the people starting a revolution downstairs.
I placed a quick kiss on his cheek and pulled him into a tight hug. I sighed and reluctantly let him go. I took his hand and led him back downstairs.
As we walked into the living room, Alice brought us up to speed. The rest of the evening was filled with talk about our current situation. Edward would keep living with Alice and she told me I was always welcome. Emmett, Esmé and Alice would take Edward to the police tomorrow to talk through some options concerning Aro. My momma and Esmé were writing a complaint about mister Greene to the School board.
The two of them were also planning a lunch slash shopping spree next Saturday. I was obviously happy that my momma was ok with me being gay. I was also happy that she got along with my boyfriend's family. I was even over the moon she was finally making new friends here. But did she have to become friends with my boyfriend's mother?
I rolled my eyes at Edward when Esmé and my momma started planning more outings together. He just chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. Yeah, he didn't have to live in one house with his mother, he had a cool sister. Of course I had a sister, but she wasn't half as amazing as Alice. Rose was a bit immature for her age, and a bit vain at that. I loved her though.
When my momma said it was time to go home and start on dinner, Alice suggested ordering Chinese. And so we did.
While eating at the coffee table, sitting on the floor because there weren't enough chairs, I eyed Edward. He was looking at everyone, trying to follow the conversations. The smile on his face was huge. I guess he wasn't used to being around so much loving family.
I smiled as well. I hadn't been used to these kind of evenings for a while either. We used to visit family a lot when my dad was alive. But since he died it was usually just me and my momma. And Rosalie when she was home from college. I missed it, I missed my dad.
I lost my smile and felt tears hiding behind my eyes, ready to spring free at any moment. Edward noticed and sat closer to me, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "Isn't this perfect?" he asked. I nodded and leaned my head against the crook of his neck. "I think I'm in love with you." he said softly.
I turned my head to look at him and smiled. I kissed his cheek and rested my head back against his neck. Yes, it was perfect. Life didn't get any better than this!
.
Hours later my momma woke me up. I was still sitting on the floor but I was leaning my head in Edward's lap. He was sitting in a chair with his head back against the back, mouth opened, slightly snoring. "Jasper, honey wake up, we're going home."
I stood up and placed a sight kiss on Edward's forehead. Still half asleep I followed my momma to the door. Alice walked with us to let us out. "Charlotte, it was very nice to meet you. I'll pick up Jasper's overnight bag Friday around noon, that way he can ride here with Edward." Wait, what?
I glanced up to my momma questioningly with a sleepy smile on my face. "My bag?" I asked and she waved a hand at me, as if to tell me I shouldn't be asking stupid questions. Well, it wasn't stupid right? This was about me, I should be able to ask!
"That's a good idea Alice." My mother threw her one of our characteristic smiles. "Just promise me they won't be sharing a room, I'm old fashioned that way." She winked.
"What are you two talking about? Picking up my bag, riding with Edward, not sharing a room..." The two of them just stared at me, like I was missing some huge clue. I was way to tired to be solving riddles. Wait, overnight bag, riding with Edward, not sharing a room... "Oh... OH! Oh..." I smiled sheepishly as realization set in.
:D
