we walked to his car which was at the other side of the parking lot he opened the door for me and i got in. once he got in and closed the door i asked him. "how did you catch me if you were on the other side of the parking-lot and why are your hands so cold. the only explanation is that you are a vampire but i know that cannot be right." i said. "but the thing is, you are right." he said "what? no it can't be true!" "don't please i do not eat people my family are what you would call vegetarians of our kind we hunt animals. i don't want you to think of me as a monster because i'm not." "i don't think of you as a monster i just really really like you and i want it to go further than us just being friends." i said. "well i am glad you said that because i wanted to ask you will go out with me?" i kissed him on the cheek. "does that answer you question?" i told him. "yes." he answered "so what are the perks of being a vampire?" "well if you are lucky you could have a special ability i can read minds in a mile radius all except yours." "wow! so have you had a girlfriend before?" "no, no one was right for me. i didn't feel any connection between anyone before you." right then he started the car. we got out of the parking lot fairly quickly. he took my hand and held it. "is my hand too cold?" he asked in concern "no they are perfect." but they were cold but nothing i couldn't handle. "so what is your address?" he asked "oh ya sorry it is 10880 Malibu Point, Malibu, Calif., 90265." "ok thanks". we get to my house and i told him the password to the gate. we get up to the house."wow you have a beautiful house." "thanks". he gets out of the car and opens my door and holds his hand out. right then he kisses me on the cheek and when he does my father a mother are standing at the door. my mother looked mad but my father looked shocked. "got to go looks like i am i trouble" i told Edward once he let go of my hand i felt paper. i kissed him on the cheek then i went to the door. when i turned around and waved bye. "Couch now." I heard my mother say. So i went to the couch and sat down. "why was that boy kissing you on the cheek?" my mother asked me and my father still in shocked. "because he is my boyfriend." i said not knowing what will happen. "is he in honors classes?" "yes he is in all my classes." i said " well we approve." they said " can i go know?" i asked them "yes you may go." i got a snack and went up to my room. i heard breathing "hey beautiful." Edward said "oh my god you scared me! how did you get in?" i asked him "sorry and the window." i laughed "should have known." "did you read the paper i gave you?" he asked "no i was too busy getting interrogated by my mom and dad." i said " well it is my phone number so you can always talk to me."he said i went up to him and hugged him his chest was just as cold as his face and hands but it felt good while i was hugging him he kissed me on the top of my head. " how can you control your self around me?" i asked him "lots of practice i have been around humans all my vampire life." he said "oh ok" i said "Miranda!" i heard my father yell. "stay right here!" i told Edward. i went out the door and ran down the stairs. "ya whats up dad?" i asked "who are you talking to?" he asked my panic started to come i had to think of something convincing. "i am talking to Edward on my phone." i thought he would buy that. "ok." "is that all you wanted to see me about?" "no, i heard you got in a fight with your brother." he said "oh you heard about that?" "yes i did. explain to me what happened." my father said. "well Jacob came up to Edward and i at lunch and he asked me who he was. i said this is Edward and then he told him to stay away from me and i was tired of him doing this to all my guy friends. so i went off on him. can i go know?" "yes you may go." "bye i'll be up in my room if you need any thing." i said and ran back up the stairs. "hey i am back!" he was looking at my pictures on the wall. i opened my chips. he was looking at our family picture. "that's when we went to Hawaii. that was the last time when my brother was actually nice to me." he put his arm around me. "don't worry about him just focus on us our future." "i know i just want to know why he is like that about me." i said "well the thing at lunch he thought i was going to be trouble for you and he didn't want your heart broken." he said trying to make me feel better about him. "yes i know what he was trying to do but i need to make my own mistakes, but i know you are not one." i don't think i could have said that any more perfect. "as you can see as the years go on my brother i less and less happy with me. i do not get it but he is the one failed. you didn't hear that i am not supposed to even know that." i said "can you promise me one thing?" he asked me "yes anything." i answered. "don't tell anyone that i am a vampire that would put me in danger and worst you in danger, because i do not want to put you in harms way." he said "you have my word. three reasons why one i wasn't going to tell anyone any way, two you told me not to, and the most important three i don't want to lose you." i told him "don't worry you will not lose me." he said i started to cry, but it was tears of joy. " and your not getting rid of me quickly." i said i smiled so he would not think i was sad. "why are you crying?" he asked me "these are tears of joy. someone finally care about me that's a guy and not apart of my family." i said "you will all ways have me."he said. "so where is your car?" i asked him wondering how he got here. "it's at my place." "oh ok do you want me to take you home?" "no i still don't know what their reactions will be, but i think Alice has already told them. she can see the future." he said "Miranda! Jacob dinner." my mother said. "you should go to talk to your family." i kissed him on the cheek "bye see you tomorrow." i said as soon as i was at the door he stopped me. "i have to go." i told him "i know i just was going to say i may come after your finished with formally introduce myself." "Miranda if your father has to come up there to get you you are in trouble!" my mother said "i have to-" he was gone. i ran down the stairs "sorry i was still on the phone."
"so Miranda you have news?" my father asked me. "i have a boyfriend Jacob." "it better not be that Cullen guy!" he said "it is and what do you have against the guy hun?" i asked him he started to get me mad with that one sentence. remember what Edward said don't worry about him focus on us. i kept repeating that in my head. "he looks like a trouble maker! that's all" he said "he is not a trouble maker he is sweet and kind to me! he has had all a's in his entire life! why can't you be happy for me this once just one time Jacob is that too much to ask? what happened to my nice brother? no need to answer because i know it he became an asshole!" i said. i couldn't take it "Miranda!" my mother and father said at once. "i am sorry Jacob that was out of line." "it's ok" he said " oh I wanted to tell you that Edward wanted to formally introduce himself after dinner if that is ok with you?" I said " I like this boy he want to formally introduce himself, and you said that he was in honor classes?" my mother said. "Yes like I said before he is in all my classes."I told her after that dinner was over and I called Edward to tell him dinner was over. not sooner in five minutes he Was here. " how does he know the gate password?" Jacob asked " I told him it." I said. once I saw him at the door I opened it. "hey!" I put out my hand and he took it I lead him to the living room. "This is my mother Pepper and father Tony and this is Jacob." I told him he already knew Jacob. "You have a beautiful home Mr. and Mrs. Stark." Edward said "why thank you. You are such a nice boy!" my mother said. "Why don't you show him around the house." My father told me "ok can I show him the garage?" " yes." so I pulled him to the second floor. i took him to our fitness arena Jacob was there. "go change." Jacob said "do we have to do this now?" i asked him. "you want to impress your boyfriend right?"
"ok fine! stay right here i will be right back."i told Edward i ran up to my room and got changed and then i ran back down. "so you are going to fight with your brother?" Edward asked me "ya! this is on thing that we both like doing together." i told him Jacob laughed "what happened to your shoulder?" Jacob asked "oh this i turned around and hit the locker." i said "ready?" Jacob asked "always" i answered. we went into the arena and our mother and father came in. my father went up to Edward "is she going to get hurt?" he asked in concern "no" my father answered, "she is the best on in our family." as soon as he said that i turned my head and Jacob took a swing and i dodged it. i kicked him hard under his ankles so he would fall to the ground. that's when my father rung the bell and my mother put a point to my side of the board. i helped Jacob up and then i went to Edward. "i will never under estimate you again." he said "again?" i asked him "yes well i didn't think you could take down your brother." he said "oh that's what you mean." i told him. he laughed "how is your shoulder?" he asked "it's fine just a little sore. come with me to the garage." i said. we went out the door down the stairs and past the living room and down more stairs. i put in my password and the door opened. "Jarvis wake up i'm home!" "welcome back miss Stark." "come here!" i dragged him to over to the cars. "this one is my dad favorite." it was the oldest car we had. "which one is your car?" he asked me "the Audi with the licence plate that says MSTARK1. want to go up?" i said "sure." he held out his hand and i took it. we went upstairs and my mom had ice cream out. "oh good i was just going to call you guys up. do you like strawberry or vanilla Edward?" my mother asked "strawberry please." my mother gave us our ice cream in the old fashion ice cream bowl. she pulled out the whipped cream and i gave her our bowls. "thank you Mrs. Stark" he said "oh call me pepper." she said we went outside. my backyard was over the ocean but we had a balcony over it with concrete, grass, and a pool. we sat at the edge of the pool. i took off my flip flops and put my feet in the pool he did the same except he was wearing tennis shoes. "so what did your family tell you?" i asked "they said that i ignorant for my actions my parents were more understanding they asked me 'do you trust her' and i said yes she is the last person that would tell our secret." he said. to ease the mood i got some whipped cream from his and put on his nose. i got up because i knew what he was going to do. he wiped the whipped cream off his nose and he got up and ran to were the deep end was. " you can't run forever." He said while laughing. My family was watching us. " you're right I can't." i said once I finished saying that I jumped in the pool. It was still warm from yesterday. He came over to the edge that I was at. "What am I going to do with you?" I started laughing and I grabbed his arm and pulled him in. "Just love me." I said once he came up. My family came out of the house. "Jacob come here!" I said once he was close enough to reach I pulled him in. My father, Edward, Jacob, and I were dying laughing. My mother was not. My father went to get us towels. my father had built a dryer so we would be dry before we would go in the house. Each one of us got in it after one of us was out. Once we were all dried it was 8:00 "I better go my parents will get worried." Edward said "well Edward you are welcomed any time you like." My mom said. I walked him to his car. "I had fun." He said smiling my family trying to be slick looking out the window "good because there is a thing that i have to go to for the company this friday and was hoping you would come with me?" I asked him "of course I would go." He said "you better get going so your parents aren't worried." I said he started laughing " ok see you later." He said kissed me on the forehead. "Bye." I said softly. i went back inside they were looking at me. "you know you guys aren't slick i saw you looking out the window next time use the security camera." i said "i'm going to bed." and left to my room it was 10:00 and i was beat. i got into my pajamas and went to sleep
