Chapter 19

Bella:

After Edward's question, we repositioned slightly on the bed. Edward claimed I was too distracting being naked, so I put on his shirt, although I'm not sure how much that helped. I also text Maggie, telling her I wouldn't be back for a few hours and left it at that. If I told her about Edward, I knew she'd want to call me and ask a bunch of questions.

"Your sister, Alice, and her husband found me a few months ago," I begin. I reach down and grab his hand, entwining our fingers. It helps to calm me down. "They spoke a bit about you. They were worried and Alice thought that if she found me and brought me to you, then you'd go home with them," I explain.

Edward's eyes narrow ever so slightly.

"A few days later, we flew out to your house," I admit.

At this, Edward gets off the bed and starts pacing around the room. In any other circumstance, Edward pacing in his boxers would be funny. Now, though, I'm too scared he's about to run away.

"They really missed you, Edward, and initially I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Then we…we went to Italy," I tell him quietly.

Unfortunately, he hears me. And he doesn't look happy with me right now.

I push on. "We managed to get information out of Aro because my friend, Maggie, came with us. She has a gift, which means she can tell people are lying. Aro told us everything. Everything he knew. After that, the rest of your family went looking for you but I couldn't. I should have stopped long ago but I didn't and maybe it was still too late. I didn't know where they were going, just that Aro thought you were in Europe," I rush out.

For a while, Edward continues pacing. I shift on the bed, wondering if I should leave. Edward did pay for this room, but I don't exactly have much to wear. My jeans, yes, but my top? I'm pretty sure it's in shreds.

"I'm sorry," I whisper, fighting back tears.

Edward glances over to the bed and before I can say another word he's sat next to me on the bed, a look of remorse on his face.

"Don't cry, beautiful," Edward coos, cupping my cheek. "I'm sorry for my reaction. I just haven't seen my family in so long."

Now, it looks like Edward's the one who's about to cry.

"They love you, Edward. So, so much. They just want to see you again, they just want you to be happy," I assure him, leaning forward to kiss his lips.

"I love you, Isabella Swan. I can't believe I've only known you for less than a day," Edward muses, pulling me into his arms.

"Love you, too," I grin, kissing his cheek.

His hands start to work their way under the large shirt I'm wearing, but I bat them away. Edward pouts adorably.

"Don't give me that look," I warn. "We still need to talk. Are you going to speak to you family?" I ask him.

"Do you know how hot you are when you're all commanding?" Edward grins.

I hit his arm.

"Ok, yes, I am going to. But the phone I have with Alice's number on isn't with me. It's at my other hotel room," Edward tells me.

"I guess we can have a bit more fun then," I smirk, taking off the shirt.

Edward's eyes widen before he pounces, tackling me to the bed.

A/N: Thoughts on their chat?

Leave me a review!

Also, as a side note, I'm just about to go to the cinema to see Paper Towns! Anyone else seen it/a fan of John Green? :)
