25

After Amélie and Benedict's amazing first date on the Friday night at the Cullens, and Benedict explaining to her what he was and although Amélie reacted in the best way possible, he decided to give Amélie the whole Saturday to herself and her thoughts as to come up with questions she might have for him or his family and so he promised he would then collect Amélie the Sunday afternoon and take her back to the Cullens residents for her to ask her questions.

Even though Amélie was supposed to have the entire Saturday to herself to think she had soon found out that Charlie had the day off from his extremely busy schedule as Chief of Police and so she decided not to waste a single moment and to spend the day with him. They played board games like 'Monopoly' and card games like 'Go Fish' as well as watching some of the classic movies like 'The Breakfast Club'. The entire day they spent together was what they truly needed, time to relax and catch up with family and family that they loved beyond words. Both had a lovely time with each other, from blasting 'Bon Jovi' throughout the house until they were deaf and shouting at each other in Italian when the game of Monopoly went south.

And when Sunday finally arrived Amélie couldn't wait to be back in Benedict's arms once more.

Deciding on a simple outfit for the day. Choosing a simple plain cropped purple long sleeved cardigan with a pair of flared light blue jeans and a pair of her favourite white converse. Letting her gorgeous ginger locks flow freely down her back. Putting a few strokes of mascara on her lashes as well as putting on a few swipes of lip gloss on her lips. She stood back and looked at herself in the long body mirror that was placed over in the corner of her room. She couldn't help but smile at herself in the mirror. That was when she heard the knocks of someone from the front door of the house.

She couldn't help her smile growing wider. Quickly grabbing her small handbag that was waiting on her bed, she rushed down every step of the stairs, not managing to trip on a single one. Stopping once, she made it to the front door, quickly fixing herself before she opened the door. She practically threw herself into Benedict, who could only laugh at his beloved. Her arms wrapped around his neck while his were wrapped around her waist, his hands placed on her hips.

Benedict couldn't be more relieved when Amélie wrapped her body around his in a tight, warm hug. Although Amélie had reassured him on the night of their date that he was no monster and still felt the same way about him as he did for her, he couldn't help but doubt that fact and doubt it for the entire Saturday and morning of Sunday, but as he held her in his arms once more those thoughts slowly crumbled to dust.

"Tu m'as manqué (I missed you)" Amélie mumbled into Benedict's shirt.

Benedict chuckled as he pulled her impossibly closer to his body, laying a sweet kiss to her hair. "Tu m'as manqué aussi mon amour (I missed you too my love)". Amélie raised her head and looked up at him with her large doe green eyes that had Benedict almost hypnotised. Benedict leaned down further so he could connect his lips with his beloveds. It was a long passionate kiss to make up for not receiving any kisses the day before. And when the couple pulled away from one another Amélie was breathless and Benedict was grinning from ear to ear.

Amélie pulled away from Benedict although it was difficult - from both herself not willing to let him go and from Benedicts strong grip. Amélie giggled when Benedict wouldn't let her go. "Je dois enfermer, donne-moi une minute Bene! (I have to lock up, give me a minute Bene!)"

Benedict pouted but let his firm grip on Amélie go so she could lock up the house. "Où est Charlie? (Where is Charlie?)"

"Au travail (At work)" She shrugged slightly. "Il a une longue journée aujourd'hui (He has a long day today)" She sighed out. Benedict frowned but laid a small peck to her lips which made the small smile that Benedict loved crawl back up her face.
