A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the inspiration and chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet.

Chapter 167. Why, is not this better now than groaning for love?

Edward lasted until midnight before he caved. He'd wanted to see her tonight but Bella had been worried that he'd already taken too many risks as it was. She'd pacified him then by making plans to Skype with him, but now he was nearly beside himself with worry after numerous calls and texts had gone unanswered.

As he rode past her house on Jasper's bike, his fears for her escalated, seeing the grounds ablaze with light and security clearly visible. Bella's bedroom was in darkness.

Since there was no chance of reaching her room undetected now, Edward hid and waited.

This chapter was unbeta'd. I slept most of the day trying to get rid of a summer flu and just finished before posting.
