The car ride was full of mutual enjoyable silence. I closed my eyes when the drive began but they were soon back open . I only could see his smile and the gleam of his eyes within the depths of what appeared to be a forest.
"I told you it was only a ten minute drive."
That was all he stated as he slide out of his and waltzed over to my side of the car, opening the door for me.
"Such a gentleman you are."
"Trust me I am just trying even out the rest of the evening in advance."
Of course his statement was followed by a wink shortly afterward. I grabbed his as we entered the small home.
"Where are your parents?"
"It is my place."
The tone of his statement left no room from questions. We followed the sound of the music which is where we found Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rose. Emmett and Rose were cuddled on the couch with Rose humming in Emmett's ear and Emmett drumming his finger on her thigh . Jasper and Alice were intertwined in some complex sort of waltz. Instead of ruining the moment with our entrance, I opted to join in. I rested my arms around his neck as he gripped his hands on my hips, touching the small of my back. I sway was reminiscent of that of a grade school dance but a lot less awkward and a lot closer. I could her Edward's voice in my ear as he sang in time with the lyrics.
Give me love like never before,
'cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya.
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
Give a little time to me, or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
As the song came to close, I reluctantly removed my arms from around him. He removed one but left the other on the small of my back. "Ok guys. How about a movie?" That was the last thing I expected from Edward. Was the bad boy soft? The surrounding approval secured our plans.
"Cool. I will get the snacks. I need someone to get the drinks."
His statement was accompanied with a pinch on my backside, causing an almost inhuman sound to escape from my throat.
"Thanks for volunteering Bella."
I fell out of heaven
To be with you in hell
My sin's not quite seven
Nothing much to tell
Lust I haven't craved
A sainted boy I'm not
I'll take it to my grave
A side cursed on rot
"Grab the glasses and the bowl out the cabinet."
"Which one, Mr. Boss Man?"
"Mmm… I kinda like the sound of that. The one next to the microwave. I'll get the popcorn while."
While Edward rummaged lower for the popcorn, I looked up the containers. The glasses proved easy enough to get down while the bowl proved harder considering it was on the top shelf. Determined to get it myself I balanced on my tippy toes. I should have known. I felt him before he even touched me. It felt like a sunrise in hometown, Phoenix. The way it gets hotter and hotter as the sun rises to your sweltering and suffocating. By the time he touched me, I might have not been sweating but I was damn near panting. He arm encircled my waist as he reached up to grab the bowl which I had try so hard to procure. He put it down in such as gentle manner as to not disturb the tension that stood between us. He spun me around not just looking but seeing. What he saw I wasn't sure.
"Don't move."
His stare was enough to stop any plans I may have had. Unnervingly beautiful. Eyes solid like the glass marbles that you refuse to trade. He put the ice tray on the counter and then the popcorn in the microwave. I know he could feel my confused stare on his form but he made. Maybe the moment was lost maybe it was back to snacks. As I went to go for ice tray he words froze me.
"I said don't move."
He punched the time into the microwave.
"Three minutes is not nearly enough time.
It was my mistake to think he was talking about the popcorn. When he crack the ice, he resolved seemed to do the same. Hot and cold is the all I could feel. His warm mouth on mines attacking not fighting just taking, just giving, just wanting , just lusting, just helpless, just to the rescue. Coldness dripping down neck running in the collar of my shirt. When he moves my neck it cold at first then warm then hot kind white pain. Pain to the point of pleasure. Then he's whispering murmuring.
"Are you my angel or my devil?
Either way I going to hell.
As long as I get to remember this heat
I think I can make through those flames."
Time waits for no one. So there should have been no surprise when the microwave beeped. But moments like those deserved to last forever. How much of that was real? The look on Edward's face almost made me want to believe it all was.
"We're starving here." Em's voice rang out.
But maybe it was a question for later. It funny how one moment can distract you from the present.
Thanks for reading. Please review if you would to have a moment like this. XOXO
