” What are you going to do when the real time comes? You would have a heart attack before I even touched you.” He laughed.

“ Don’t exaggerate.” I said.

“Bella, love, you heart skips a beat when I kiss you. “ He laughed.

“ It doesn’t skip a beat. I just forget to,” I was cut off with his abrupt kiss. His lips slid to up and down my jaw. I tried to keep track of my breathing. I brought his face to mine. I kept his lips on mine. I couldn’t kiss and breathe at the same time. I had to pull away but he didn’t feel it. His lips became more intense. I tapped on his arm. His eyes opened and he let go. He brought me back to my original position, in his arms and head on his chest.

“ Sorry, love.’’ I can’t believe he was apologizing.              

“Don’t be, that was great. “ I laughed between gasps of air. He laughed, as he usually did, at my human frailties.

“Tomorrow I’ll drive you to school, “ He said.

“Precautions? ”

“Of course ,love. Carlisle, Alice, and Jasper are staying with the Denali coven today.” He explained.

“Oh. Who was that woman who came here?” I asked.

“That’s Tanya. She is one of the heads of Denali. “ He explained.

“She’s like Rosalie. Alice told me she liked you. That would’ve been easier for you.” I looked down.

“Bella, love… She would never…could never be my type. You are 100% for me. Besides, I prefer brunettes,” He smiled as he played with my hair. I sighed. He started to hum my lullaby. My eyes fell soon after that.

__Next Morning__

“ Bella…love…Bella. Wake up, sleeping beauty.” The velvet voice beckoned.

“No…I don’t wanna get up!” I moaned. He laughed.

“Bella, come on.” He slipped his hands under me and lifted me from the bed.

“ Okay I’m up, I’m up.” I assured him.

“ I’ll wait downstairs.” He said as he placed me gently on the floor and kissed me. Before I blinked he was gone. I took my clothes to the bathroom and prepared myself. I went downstairs.

“Bella, please behave today.” He said.

“What does that mean?” I asked sensing something unfortunate was in store for me.

“Let’s just say after school…something is planned.” He said with a big boyish grin.

“Should I fear for my life?” I asked playfully as we got in the car.

“Not with me around.” He answered as he took my hand with the one that wasn’t on the steering wheel.

“Okay then, I’ll try to behave. I trust you.” I said as he took a sigh and removed his eyes from me to the road.

I didn’t know what today would hold. But I have a feeling it’s nothing good for me. A million things ran through my mind. There was no reason for one of Alice’s parties so that humiliation I was safe from…What could it be?
