"Hello, Ms. Swan," he said as he entered the house.
No, I didn't want to smile back, but he had such a stupid grin on his face that made it almost impossible for me to control my smile!
He said he wanted to see me tonight. He said he couldn't wait until tomorrow!
"Sorry, I got a bit late," he said.
"I think you're on time," I smiled.
"No... It's..." His expressions turned into something serious.
"What happened?" I said.
"It's just... No, probably I shouldn't discuss it right now," he said.
"What is it?" I said.
I had never seen him hesitating for anything.
"Mom figured out there is something going on between us..." he said.
What?
"Oh!" I said, "How?"
"I don't know... " he said, "Maybe it's just our body language... I don't know."
"And?" I said.
"Nothing," he said.
"Oh, it doesn't seem like it was 'nothing'?" I said.
"No... It's..." he said, "She didn't like it. I just had a heated discussion with her on the phone."
"Oh!" I said. I was so disappointed to hear that!
"Why?" I said.
"No, it's because..." he sighed, "No, just let it go."
"So she didn't like it because I used to be Carlisle's wife?" I said.
He didn't say anything.
Oh, so my fears weren't so irrational after all?
"She will come around," he said.
Would she?
"Do you think she's going to understand?" I asked.
"Is there any reason why she shouldn't?" he asked.
"I don't know..." I said.
Suddenly I was feeling so low.
No... We were never going to make it!
"Look at your face!" He laughed.
Excuse me?
"Relax... I was just kidding!" he said.
Excuse me?
He was... what?
"Edward... Just leave!" I said.
"I was just kidding!" He said.
"You're such an ass! How can you be so insensitive about everything? I don't want to do anything with you!" I said, "Just leave!"
"What? You were almost ready to end our relationship because of such nonsensical things, and I can't even joke about it?" he said, "Like, I thought I'd say I love you in some romantic way, but I had to do it like, Please! please! Don't leave me! I love you! I beg you!" He mocked himself, "Come on! You deserved that for spoiling things!"
"I didn't spoil anything intentionally!" I said, "Okay, I was wrong, but that doesn't mean you have any right to make fun of me like this!" I said, "Just leave!"
"I'm just trying to tell you that we shouldn't allow anybody else to spoil anything between us," he said, "I was in such a nice mood earlier and then you had to come with..."
"Oh really? And who is spoiling the mood now?" I said.
"Oohh, are you in the 'mood'?" He winked.
I... can't with him!
"No, I am not!" I snapped.
"Okay, I will be serious," he said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.
"Don't touch me!" I said as I tried to release myself from his grip.
"Naah!" He smiled as he pulled me closer.
God!
That stupid smile on his face again!
No!
I was not going to smile back!
"I want you to know that if you have any problem, you can talk to me. You can tell me anything! I'm here to listen to anything you say. I'm not going to judge you! Just don't come up with any stupid ideas like this again!" He said as he looked into my eyes.
"Yeah right! I should tell you everything, so that you can make fun of me, like you just did!" I glared at him.
"Yeah, you're right. I guess I spoiled my case!" he laughed shamelessly, "But... I promise I will be sensitive going forward."
"No... Just leave!" I said, "I think it's too much for you to be sensitive!"
"See... So there are two options..." he said, "I crack some really stupid jokes when I'm really happy, which I am right now! Another option is, I get busy with something else," he said as he leaned his head and brushed his lips against mine.
"Believe me... I have a very single track mind. If I'm occupied with something else, I won't get a chance to come up stupid jokes!" He breathed.
God! So this was how the seduction works I guess! I was so angry at him, but...
"I really hate you," I breathed against his lips.
"I know," he said as he kissed me.
