A/N: Here's Chapter 6. Sorry for the cliffie. *grins* Bri, calm down. Here's the chapter you've been waiting for.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight, but Covet it mine.
Enjoy.
Nothing.
I got up from bed and walked to the bathroom, "Bella?" I looked all over the room, and went to the balcony where she was last night.
I ran down stairs in a panic to find Bella nowhere. Not in the den, not in the kitchen, nowhere.
Where could she have gone?
EPOV
Panic mode had struck in. I was almost panting as I rummaged through the house. I don't know where she would have gone.
And what was with last night? Not a single word, but a million tears.
I checked the kitchen again, still nothing. "Bella!" I shouted from the front of the counter.
"Mmmm." I heard a groan from the other side of the island. I dashed over.
I gasped as I saw her lying there, shivering and shaking. Her eyes were closed and her lips were blue. What in the hell?
Just then a breeze came in from behind me. I turned to see the back kitchen door was standing wide ass open and pitch black outside. I ran and closed it quickly then running back to my love.
She was still shaking and her eyebrows were furrowed as if she was concentrating on something extremely hard.
"Bella, love." I touched her arm and brought it back to myself. She was freezing! "Bella, baby, I'll be back in a second. I'm getting blankets for you." And I ran into the den.
I grabbed each and any blanket I could find. I tried to run back to the kitchen, but the blankets blocked my view and I almost hit the wall.
Bella still layed on the kitchen floor, shaking. Her lips started turning her luscious pink soon after I wrapped her in the 5 blankets I found.
I pulled her onto my lap and held her, rubbing her arms and back trying to transfer my body heat to hers.
I'm not sure how long we sat there, but I fell back asleep. And when I woke, Bella stared at me.
"Bella, are you alright?" I asked, groggily.
Her eyes dashed around the room quickly and then back to mine. "Bella?" I rubbed her back soothingly.
She sat up in my lap and then stood, as did I. She stared at me again; I mirrored her, waiting for her to answer me.
Finally her eyes darted from mine straight to the floor. "I'm…sorry." She said in a weak, low voice.
I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to me. I couldn't bear her sadness. "Bella, baby. It's alright. You have nothing to be sorry for."
She began to pull away. "No, I do." I looked at her, completely confused. I'm sure my look gave it away because she sighed and said, "I have a secret."
BPOV
"I have a secret." I said, eyeing him. His face was confused, but also beautiful. I wasn't completely if I wanted to tell him about me.
My heart started racing and my breathing became raspy.
Before I knew it, I was in Edward's arms. I looked up at him dazedly, "What happened?" I asked, trying to get my breath back to normal.
He chuckled lightly, still holding me. "You, uhm, fainted." He steadied me flat on my feet and I held onto him.
"Really? How long?" I asked.
He looked me over as if I were unsure of my footing. "Just a minute." He said shaking his head. "Now what were you going to say?" he asked after a moment of placing my feet down again.
I stood across from him, silent. Could I really tell him?
I was biting my lip so hard, it could've been bleeding. HA! "Maybe we should go in the den." He nodded, so I walked to the white couch.
We sat in the same places as we had before, across from each other, facing. What would his reaction to it be?
"Alright," he said as he sat down. "What is it?" his tone was almost fatherly. How I missed Charlie.
Not only was the tone fatherly, it was stern and protecting. I could hear a hint of worry in the back of it too.
My head hung in shame as I whispered my secret to my love.
"I'm sorry, I didn't get that." He asked, scooting closer. I held up my hands in protest, making him stay.
After 3 deep breaths, inhale…exhale…inhale…exhale…inhale…exhale. I gulped and spoke my deepest secret of all.
"I'm a Vampire."
I was glad we were sitting, because Edward fainted in the couch. I wanted so badly to comfort him, but he might be scared of the monster across him.
Approximately 2 minutes later, Edward awoke, frightened.
"You're a…a…v-vam-pire." He said through multiple breaths, heavily.
I looked at him and nodded; no expression on my face.
"You're lying!" he shouted at me and stood up. I stayed on the couch as I spoke, "No, I'm not."
Of course, a typical human's response, "Prove it."
"I am only half Vampire." I said, stating. "I'm more human than Vampire, but I do have the Vampire traits."
"W-what are you talking about?" he asked confusingly.
I gestured for him to sit on the couch, "I'll stand thanks." I shrugged.
"My Father is a Vampire and my birth Mother wasn't when they conceived me. She died…giving birth." I explain and Edward gradually lowered himself to the couch, taking it all in.
His eyes dazed out for a moment. "Your family is Vampires." It was more a statement than a question. "Yes…but it is only me and my father."
"But how come you don't burn in the sun!" he shouted across from me.
I laughed, "Myth. Plus, do you ever see any sun here?" His eyebrows rose and furrowed. "But, do you believe me, Edward? Because I need you to believe me. I don't know if I can live without you." Tears stung in my eyes.
Edward looked at me and then stared at the couch below him.
"How long have you been…" he trailed off, but I knew what he was asking.
"All my life, but it's starting to show again. When I was a baby, nothing happened until I turned 16 and then it went away, but now it's back." I explained, shaking my head about the memories.
My 16th birthday was a disaster. I thought I'd gotten a pimple, but on my gums? I didn't smile the entire night and my parents were worried, I told them and they said it was time. So I didn't even get a sweet sixteen party with all my friends.
"We didn't stay in Phoenix long, just when the change began to happen, we drove straight to forks." I didn't know I was still speaking until I heard Edward's sigh.
I looked up to see him staring at me, I couldn't read his face; I didn't know what he was feeling.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, it was something I should've but…"I trailed shaking my head. Maybe he'd understand.
His answer surprised me completely. "I don't care, but do I still have to meet your parents?"
I smiled and began to laugh. "You don't care?" I asked afterward. He shook his head, "No. All I know is that before I knew, I loved you and I still do."
Speechless, I stuttered, "R-really?" I wasn't completely sure.
"Yes, really. But I do have a few questions." This was typical.
"Ask away!" I smiled.
"How is it that I couldn't tell?" he asked after a moment of silence, thinking.
There were always multiple ways to hide Vampirism, but being half, was definitely easier. And that's what I told him.
"Because I am only half, most of my body and my reactions are human. I fall, but I can be graceful; sometimes. My eyes are my father's original human eyes, chocolate brown."
As we sat and I explained everything to Edward, sometimes he would sigh or scoff and then more questions would flow from his mouth.
A part of me knew that he was scared; I could tell that when I told him he was. His heart began to race and his breathing became uneven; and of course, he fainted.
I wasn't sure of telling Edward about myself and my family, but I couldn't hold it in anymore; he needed to know.
"Don't you crave…blood though?" his question brought me out of my foggy daze.
His beautiful miraculous sage green eyes were hidden from me and I couldn't read him once more.
I looked at his lush, red-brown head of hair as I spoke. "No, well sometimes, but I like human food a lot more." And then he finally looked at me, I sighed.
"What about…earlier? When you were cold and shaking…" he trailed, but I knew what he was speaking of.
I nodded. "It's part of the change. It usually happens at night time. That's why I snuck out to the balcony last night." Before he could ask, I answered his unspoken thought. "I was crying because I knew what was happening again."
We sat in silence again until he spoke of food; my stomach rumble.
I was grateful that Edward had accepted all of this, but I couldn't help of wondering if he'd ever actually love me again. I missed his warm, soothing touch on my arm, my back, my… I stopped myself before the pool began to flood between my thighs.
I stood behind the counter as Edward cooked our brunch: eggs, bacon and sausage. Once again, I was grateful Edward didn't ask too many question about all of this, but I knew it was a normal reaction for all.
After Edward finish making brunch, we sat at the counter and ate in almost complete silence once more.
His eyes gazed behind me onto the glass door. "Why was that open last night?" he asked abruptly.
I turned toward his gaze at the door to pretend I didn't know what he was talking about. When I turned back to him, his gaze was fixed on me.
I stared down at my almost gone plate of seconds before I spoke. My mouth was open, but nothing was coming out.
"I…climb trees." I finally said, my head hung in embarrassment. I felt my cheeks immediately become flushed velvet red as he chuckled a tiny bit.
"And that was also the reason I was cold. It was a bitter night." I smiled up at him. He returned my smile. My heart swelled closed.
We returned to our food and ate again in silence. Just like Esme's food, I couldn't help but moan a slight when the food slid down my throat.
I offered to do the dishes since Edward cooked, but he wouldn't have it. While he did the dirty work, I dashed up the stairs to his room to shower.
I slipped out of my nightie and let it fall over my lush breasts to the floor. As I stepped into the shower, the hot water felt amazing on my back. I was only a tad cold.
As I washed my hair I heard motions out in the bedroom and before I could turn around, Edward was standing next to me in the shower.
I gasped aloud and grabbed my chest as an immediate reaction. "Edward! What are you doing?"
He smiled that crooked smile and I felt my knees go weak. "I thought I told you I didn't care. And I'm dirty, I need a shower too."
I gawked at him again. I watched as his eyes roamed down my body and back to my face three times. I couldn't deny myself in wanting him now more than ever.
"Will you wash me?" his tone shot electricity through me entire form. Water was not the only between my thighs at the moment.
I simply nodded and grabbed the sponge, squeezing it with soap and water. I gently placed his on Edward's back when he turned around. I lathered shoulder to shoulder and down his back and up it slowly.
I dropped the sponge and began using my hands to massage his shoulder blade and down his back. I unhooked the shower head and rinsed off him back moderately.
He turned to face me as I rinsed. In my peripheral vision I saw his endowed erection. I hadn't heard him moan until I kissed him abruptly.
I dropped the shower head and placed my hands on each side of his face, forcefully bringing out lips to each other's.
I moaned as our lips embraced. I'd missed the taste of his lips; it'd been too many hours since I'd been able to touch him. I felt his hand roam across my breast and tenderly squeeze it. A heard moans slip through my lips against his.
"Edward, I've missed this." I said, breathlessly as I glanced at the barely-there space between us. He pecked me on my lips and then nibbled on my earlobe.
"Me. Too." He kissed his way down my neck toward my collarbone and across my shoulder. I felt him bit softly against my skin and I pulled on his hair.
"I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?" His face inches from mine.
Breathing heavy, I tried to calm myself to smile at him. "No. I loved it." And before we could exchange anymore words, he slowly lowered his head back to my shoulder and bit me again. I whimpered under him.
"Ed...Edward. I…need…you. P...please." I couldn't take this anymore; I needed to have him, again and again.
His eyes shot me a dark captivating charm of seduction colored with jade green. He pushed me up against the shower wall before I could say anymore.
He licks and sucked on my neck for a moment and then slipped between my folds. I gasped and moaned as I engulf all of him. I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him into me more.
I brought his face back to mine as he began thrusting inside of me. "More." I said against him. And he did, again and again. "Faster." He did as I said, once more.
"Oh, God. Bella." He mumbled on my neck, still suckling. I finally noticed what he was doing; marking me. I was his and he was mine.
As he thrusted faster and harder, my moans became untamable. I was almost screaming at the top of my lungs for more by the time I'd came.
"Edward…Ed…Edward!" I felt my walls clamping down around him and I knew he felt it too. He began going faster than before.
In one last thrust, Edward grunted and we both came.
"You're so beautiful, Bella." He kissed me all over my tingling, sensitive skin.
We stepped out of the shower a few minutes later, together and dried off. I couldn't keep my hands to myself, he was just too perfect.
"Bella, baby. If you keep this up," he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to him. I instantly felt him. "I'm going to have to take you to bed early." I smiled up at him. "That sounds like a promise."
He kissed my forehead, down my nose until he found my awaiting lips. I'd do anything for this man. Anything.
EPOV
She's amazing. And…a Vampire. It's not like the fucking shit didn't scare the fuck out of me, but I knew I loved her the moment she walked into my diner.
We stood in my bathroom, still intertwined with each other's body. After having shower sex, I felt the need to make sweet love to the woman in my arms. She smiled up at me as I kissed her tenderly.
She was my life now and I would do anything in my power for her. The fact of her being half immortal had scared me shitless, but it didn't matter to me. Nothing matter more than loving her.
"That sounds like a promise." She twinkled her eyes up at me as I had told her to stop teasing me with her hands.
I kissed her nose once again and wrapped the towel around her naked body. I grabbed another towel for myself, hanging it around my hips. She refused to let go of me, or maybe I refused to let her go as we walked into the bedroom.
I steered her to her closet and went to mine. We needed to get dressed; otherwise I wasn't going to be able to let her leave this room for days.
"Baby, get dressed." I looked over at her; she stood staring at the closet, unmoving. "We've got places to go, people to see." I chuckled.
I slipped on my boxers and socks first and then grabbed a pair of my snug jeans. I rummaged through my closet searching for the right tee while she asked, "Who?"
Her voice was completely confused, but I thought she knew. "Well," I pulled my white v-neck down over my head. "We're seeing your Dad."
I couldn't believe what I was saying, I was supposed to be scared, but I knew that this was one thing I needed to do for her. Meet her Vampire father. Oh, shit. What am I saying?
"Y-you still want to me my Dad?" she asked, stuttering a tad.
I simply nodded and gulped. "You'd do that for me? Are you sure?" she asked coming closer to me. She bit her lip for a moment. "Because you don't have to it you don't want to."
When she said that I began shaking my head, "No, I have to. You met my family, and they were hell. I think a couple hours with your…Dad will suffice." I choked on Dad because of the thought of seeing him.
She had told me that she was only half, but he was a complete and full Vampire. Oh, shit.
After a moment, she began dressing as I went down to the kitchen to clear my thoughts.
Get it together, Cullen! I shouted at myself, internally. I was pacing the kitchen until I felt her gentle touch on my shoulder. "Edward?"
I looked down to her, brows completely furrowed. "What's wrong? Please, tell me." I contemplated for a moment, what was really wrong?
Scared because I was going to see a Vampire. Worried that I might die. Even more worried that I might lose Bella.
"Are you scared about him being a Vampire?" she asked so calm like, as if it wasn't a scary thing. I nodded.
"It's alright, Edward. He's not going to hurt you." She spoke as if she were talking about a dog, barking at my entrance. "And even if he tried—well he wouldn't. There's something I didn't tell you, Edward." I looked at her, shocked. "It's not bad," she soothed. "We only hunt animals. We don't drink human blood."
Her complete honesty about her being immortal and her father's shocked me to the end of the Earth. "So, you'll be completely fine. I promise."
I took a deep breath of air and exhale in a huff. "Alright. Let's go."
I escorted Bella to the passenger side of my McLaren and swiftly walked to the driver's side. I was close to a panic attack but when I sat down in the car, Bella's hand soothed mine.
We held hands the entire way to Charlie Swan's house. Mine felt hot and sweaty, her's was soft and warm, not to mention inviting.
"We're here." She announced as I pulled into the drive. My heart began pounding as she squeezed my hand. "It's okay." I looked her in the eyes. "I promise."
We got out of the car and walked to the front door. I lifted my free hand and knocked on the door hastily and nervous.
Well, I'm going to die.
