CHLOE
It had only been a day since all the drama with the Volturi and they hadnt yet come back to visit us. I had been home so my mom could see I was still alive but then immediately made my way back to the Cullen's house. As much as I loved my mom with everything in me, being at the Cullen's house was much more fun, that was my home now. I just wouldn't tell anyone that's what I thought just yet. I walked up to the Cullen's house but before I got to the door, it opened and Eddie was standing there smiling at me.
"Hey," I said with a smile. He smiled back and held his hand out towards me. I blushed involuntarily as I took it. He pulled me towards him and into the house. The house was quiet.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Not here," he said and led me into the back yard.
"Eddie…?" I asked as he led me over to a table with a purple table cloth and a purple candle in the middle. I smiled widely. He dropped my hand and pulled the chair out. I sat down.
"Thanks," I said, unable to stop smiling. He had done all this for me? He lifted the cover from the plate.
"Fajitas?" he asked. I laughed.
"Did you make this?" I asked him, he sat down opposite me.
"Not really. It was my idea but my grandmother made the food." he said. I nodded.
"Thought so. It was still incredibly sweet of you. Thank you," I said taking a wrap and putting some chicken in it.
"What about you? What happens if you eat food?" I asked taking a bite. He shrugged.
"I've never tried. I'd imagine id have to puke it back up like my parents do."
"Ew," I said. He laughed.
We continued to talk whilst I ate the fajitas. I thought it would be awkward with him not eating too but it really wasn't at all. We just spoke the entire I was done Eddie came over to me and reached for my hand. I stood up and he took a remote out of his pocket he pointed it over the other side of the patio and music started to play. I laughed.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked.
"Sure," I said smiling. He pulled me into his chest, keeping his hand in mine and wrapping his other around my waist.
"The first time we danced together. What you said to me… "
"Hmm?" he asked spinning us around to face the other way.
"Did you mean you?" I asked.
"Yes."
"I never told Renesmee I was in love with you. How did you know?"
"Because I knew that what I was feeling couldn't have been one way. The first time I touched you, when you held my hand, when you were dying-" he said choking on the last word. "Something went through us. I knew you felt it, even amongst what was happening to you," I nodded. I did feel it. "After talking to my parents, I knew that was it. You were already attracted to me, every girl I meet is attracted to me-" he said and smirked, I rolled my eyes. "-and when it happened I knew that it was inevitable. But I wanted to put it off for a while, let you grow up a bit more; you were only fifteen, and so innocent and sweet. I didn't want to ruin that." He continued.
"If you recall I was the one with a boyfriend, I was far from innocent," I said to him with a laugh. He didn't laugh though.
"Can I ask how many?" I frowned in confusion. "Boyfriends have you had," he finished.
"Oh. Just Zac. He was my first."
"Kiss?"
I nodded, he nodded back.
"First anything else?" he asked. I knew what he was hinting at. I shook my head violently, making the yard spin in my head.
"No no nothing else. But I assume, considering you're only five years old that I'm…" I said trailing off, he nodded. I leant into his chest; I couldn't bring myself to look up at him. He moved my hair back and kissed my forehead. He put his hand under my chin and tilted my head up, forcing me to look at him. He looked into my eyes and I stared into his, they were his incredible brown and red colour. He must have hunted earlier before i got here. It was crazy how beautiful he was. I almost had to look away, but he didn't let me. He tilted his head ever so slightly towards me. I took in a sharp breath as he came close enough for me to feel his sweet breath on my face. He closed his eyes and tilted his head so his lips could reach mine.
The moment his lips touched mine, my legs collapsed. He caught me and supported my weight. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. His lips stayed still against mine but it was only a second before he gained enough confidence to really kiss me. I deepened the kiss; feeling his breath in my mouth had my head spinning. I broke away gasping for air. I was jealous that he didn't need oxygen; all I wanted was his lips on mine. He kissed my jaw and then my neck. He paused longer on my neck and I heard him swallow as he moved to my shoulder. I dug my face into his shoulder, savouring his smell. He chuckled moving my hair from my collarbone. I pulled back to look at him, he was smiling at me.
"We should do that more often," he grinned, I smiled back.
"If you say so," I replied, reaching for his lips again. He met me half way, he seemed more confident this time, not even hesitating.
EDDIE
My date with Chloe went surprisingly well. I didn't intend for us to have our first kiss but the moment seemed so right that I just couldn't resist. It was nearly midnight; Chloe had gone to bed in Renesmee's room, something that she's been doing a lot this week. I was planning to sleep tonight so I was just in my sweats, I climbed into my bed and pushed the quilt down to my hips, turning on my side to face the wall that connected mine and Renesmee's room.
Before I closed my eyes to sleep, I heard someone moving out on the landing. I could tell it was Chloe. I listened again as to where she was going. This time she didn't walk down the stairs she walked up to my door and paused. I listened closely to her heart and her breathing.
"You can come in you know," I said loud enough for her to hear. I heard her take in a breath and place her hand on the door knob; she turned it and walked into my room, slowly. I smirked at her.
"Can I help you?" I asked sitting up from my lying position. I watched her standing there, she never said anything, only walked over to me and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded slowly. I reached over and touched her arm. Just say it Chloe, he won't say no. At least I don't think he will. I frowned in confusion. "What do you want Chloe?" I whispered to her. I've been having trouble sleeping ever since the thing with the Volturi. And I still can't sleep. She thought. "How can I help?" I asked. I've tried everything but this, and it worked last night. I just want you to hold me. She admitted finally in her head. I moved my quilt off my body motioning for her to climb under it. She smiled and shuffled herself over to me. I kissed her head.
"One minute," I whispered climbing out of the bed. I walked over to my closet, pulling out a plan white t shirt. I thought it was slightly inappropriate sleeping half naked with her. I crawled back into the bed beside her and wrapped her in my arms; she curled into me; fitting perfectly. She took in a deep breath and I rested my head against hers, breathing in the scent of her hair and feeling the burn that I knew would become very familiar. Closing my eyes, I remembered the best I could the feeling of her in my arms. I opened my eyes nearly an hour later. I wasn't sleeping just memorising. I looked at her face, her beautiful peaceful face. She was sleeping, breathing in and out slowly. I placed my hand on her face and watched her dream. A noise tore me away from her dream. I looked up to see my dad standing at the door. He walked in and closed the door; pulling my desk chair over to the side of my bed. He sat down, I was ready for him to tell me off, I didn't care that it wasn't appropriate; it wasn't like we did anything.
"Don't look so protective. I'm not going to tell you off," he chuckled. I relaxed and let out a small smile. "It's amazing isn't it? I actually kind of miss it," he said looking at Chloe sleeping. I smiled wider at him, tightened my arms around Chloe and nodded.
"Did you stay with mom every night?" I asked. He nodded.
"Pretty much."
"Did grandpa ever catch you?"
"What do you think?" he asked raising his eyebrows. I laughed. "You have to understand Eddie; you can't do this all the time. Renesmee isn't allowed to sleep with Jacob. I can't make exceptions just because you're my son. Renesmee won't like it."
"Don't you mean Jacob won't like it?" I asked. He smiled and nodded.
"I trust you more than him. I know nothing would happen between them, Jacob wouldn't disrespect me like that. I just know where you personally are coming from. I've been exactly where you are. Jacob and Renesmee are a little different. Plus she's my baby girl. I don't like the idea of her belonging to another man."
I smiled and looked down to Chloe sleeping; her eyes flickered a little bit.
"I understand. I'll make the most of it while I still can," I said then paused. My dad went to get up from the chair. "Why don't you trust Jacob as much as me?" I asked. My dad turned to look at me.
"Jacob tried to take the reason for my existence away from me. Not easily forgiven," he said.
"I thought you had forgiven him," I said a little confused.
"I have," he shrugged then smiled at me. "But it doesn't mean I can't give him a hard time," he said and winked. I laughed. "Enjoy the moment son." He said and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
"Jacob tried to take Bella away from Edward?" Chloe asked sleepily. I looked down to see her staring up at me. I stroked her cheek.
"My parents have quite a history with Jacob. Jacob and my mom had… a thing," I said. Chloe's eyes widened.
"Renesmee doesn't know about this," she said as a fact. I shook my head.
"Before she was born, Jacob was convinced he was in love with my mom. He tried to persuade her to be with him instead of my dad but my mom knew who her true love was. She chose my dad."
"Wow. That's going to be quite a show when Renesmee finds out," she said and laughed. I smiled.
"I've teased her about it for the past year. She still isn't onto it," I said to her.
"I don't think it's your place to tell her Eddie. It should be Jacob."
I nodded.
"I know, I know," I said and kissed her head. She sighed and rested her head back on my shoulder. "Go back to sleep, I'll still be here when you wake up," I whispered to her.
"'Kay," she said lazily and closed her eyes. After a few hours she started tossing and turning, I put my hand on her cheek, wanting to know what was distressing her. Her dream was of the Volturi, Aro had me in his arms as Felix came over. He took hold of my head then blocked Chloe's view to me. There was a scream that came from me as Felix killed me. EDDIE! Chloe screamed in her head.
"EDDIE!" she screamed again, this time out loud and jerked awake, sitting up in the bed. I reached for her pulling her into my chest.
"I'm here. I'm right here. Everything's okay," I reassured her. She cried into my chest securing her arms around me. I kissed her head and ever part of her face I could reach. After ten minutes she had stopped crying but was still pressed into my chest. I unwrapped my arms.
"Go back to sleep, I'm right here," I whispered, and she lay back onto the bed. Her eyes were already closed. I placed a kiss on her forehead and watched for any other dreams that would upset her.
I watched her as she slept until the sun started to rise.
"Good morning beautiful," I said as her eye lids opened to reveal her hazel eyes.
"Mmmm," she murmured and curled further into me. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her body.
"I want to wake up here every day," she said into my chest. I didn't say anything, I didn't want to tell her that it can happen but I didn't want to disappoint her either. I just kissed her forehead and she pulled her head back to look at me. She stared intently at my face, I started smiling at her.
"What?" I asked a little self conscious now. She shook her head and snuggled back into me. I placed my hand on the bare skin of her waist where her pyjama top had ridden up slightly with her tossing and turning. I made it look like an insignificant move so she didn't think I was reading her mind. He's so beautiful. How could this be happening? I persuaded myself for so long this wasn't going to ever happen. And now here I am in his bed! And oh my gosh he is so hot without his shirt on! She thought, her voice rising at the end when she said bed and hot. I couldn't help but laugh a little. She jerked up.
"Are you reading my mind?" she asked looking at me. I smirked at her.
"Maybe," I answered her. She narrowed her eyes at me.
"I don't like people invading my privacy. It's my head." She pouted. I smiled warmly at her and placed one of my hands on her face.
You can come inside my head whenever you want. I'm sorry I put so much doubt in you, I never meant for you to feel you're not worthy of me. I placed in her head.
"I'm not," she said looking down. "Not really."
I laughed at her and she looked back up at me confused.
"You have no idea how much you sound like my mom did when she was dating my dad. I've seen all my dad's memories of my mom human. Would you think that my mom was not worthy of my dad?" I asked her, raising one of my eyebrows.
"No! You're parents are perfect for each other. I've never actually seen any two people more in love than them," she said.
"Then stop saying you don't deserve me. It's the same thing."
"Okay i'll stop saying it," she said looking back down at the sheets.
Don't think it either. I thought to her. She sighed and looked back up at me. She placed her hand on my face stroking under my eyes and my cheek down to my jaw bone. She then ran her finger along my chin up to my lips. I wasn't reading her mind at that moment in time but I knew what she wanted. Chloe was shy, even now. She didn't know how far was too far and she didn't know what was safe with me. I knew that I would have to interpret anything she wanted that she wouldn't say out loud. Either because she was embarrassed or too nervous. I reached up to where her finger was on my lips, taking her hand in mine. I threaded my fingers with hers, still staring into her eyes. Gently I pushed her from her side to her back and placed our entwined hands next to her head. I reached over, using only my torso and so I wasn't fully on top of her and brought my lips to hers. Savouring the feeling of her lips against mine, I loved kissing her. Her spare arm found its way up my chest to my shoulders and she wrapped it around me. She deepened our kiss herself; her tongue slipped into my mouth, and new feelings erupted in my body. Spreading in my veins like a fire. I responded to her automatically, positioning myself better to kiss her. She let go of my hand and wrapped her other arm around my neck, locking her hands together to keep me there. I placed my hand back on her waist where I could feel her skin. Instead of reading her mind this time I decided to let her read mine.
I love you so much. I could feel her smile as she came out of the kiss.
"Love you too," she whispered. I kept my weight on my left hand that was positioned by her head. Using one hand she pulled it away from my neck and ran the tips of her fingers down my chest to my stomach. Then dropped it. I pulled myself off of her, lying back down next to her. She let out a small moan of frustration and positioned herself so she was face to face with me again. I smiled at her and I knew that she couldn't help but smile back. She leant forward and kissed me this time. Putting her hands on my chest to force me on my back. I chuckled as she rested her torso against mine placing kisses on my jaw bone.
"You're getting a bit carried away for only being together for a few days aren't you?" I heard Renesmee say. I drew my attention away from Chloe and to Renesmee standing at my door. I just smirked at her. Chloe jumped and rolled off of me. She blushed scarlet red and Renesmee smiled at her. "I mean I haven't even spent one night sleeping in Jacob's bed," she said wiggling her eyebrows. Chloe smiled a little and pulled the covers off her. "Ah well at least you're both in pyjamas," she laughed. I narrowed my eyes at her; did she really think I'd take advantage of Chloe like that? Chloe blushed brighter and climbed out.
"I'll see you later," she said to me, I nodded to her and Renesmee and Chloe left my room.
