Amélie had an amazing day out in the greenhouse with her friends and lover. She enjoyed looking at the beautiful flowers as well as explaining to Benedict about the meaning of every flower and its living conditions. Although the couple did get called out by the teacher for a shared kiss it didn't stop them from sneaking a few in here and there while walking around.

Once they had gotten back on the schools grounds the school day was over - thankfully. Benedict drove Amélie home in his silver Volvo, telling Alice and Jasper to get a ride in the other car with their other siblings as he wanted to spend a few more loving moments with Amélie without the watching gaze of his siblings. The drive to the Swan House from the high school was relatively short but the two always managed to cherish every memory they made even with the smallest time frames.

Now the two stood outside the door giving one another goodbye kisses, not daring to be the one to back away from their lover first.

"Vous allez me manquer (I will miss you)" Benedict mumbled into Amélie's lips before pressing another sweet kiss to her lips.

"Tu vas me manquer plus (I will miss you more)" Amélie smiled back into the kiss.

"Impossible..(Impossible..)" Benedict mumbled back pressing another kiss to her lips before slowly pulling away, not being the one who wanted to end the moment but hearing the heavy footsteps that could have only belonged to the older Swan man - not Bella who was yet to arrive back to the house - Benedict presumed that Charlie wouldn't want to see his beloved niece kissing her lover in front of him.

As predicted Charlie opened the front door with a large grin on his face when he saw Benedict and Amélie. Charlie leaned down and pressed a sweet kiss to Amélie's head of ginger locks. "Ciao Rosso (Hey Red)"

"Ciao Zio (Hey Uncle)" in exchange Amélie leaned up and pressed a kiss to her Uncles cheek before turning her attention back to her lover. Amélie walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him not wanting to let go in the slightest, Benedict wanting to do the same thing. "Je te verrai demain mon amour (I will see you tomorrow my love)"

Benedict grinned laying a kiss to his beloveds cheek. "Je te verrai demain ma chérie (I will see you tomorrow my darling)"

And with that Amélie reluctantly walked away from Benedict and into the house, leaving the two boys to talk. Charlie's grin didn't leave his face as he turned back to talk to Benedict who was also grinning from ear to ear with glee.

"Thanks for looking after her kid," Charlie thanked.

Benedict's grin widened. He truly couldn't believe the fact that he had gotten Charlie's approval. "I only do it for her Charlie, I can't bare her in pain, if i can do the smallest thing to help her I do without a second thought. I just wish I could take away her pain."

Charlie nodded along with Benedict's words. "I would too kid, i would too."

The two stood in silence for a moment longer before bidding one another their goodbyes. Charlie closed the front door and Benedict made his way to his Volvo. He grit his teeth against one another when he heard the sound of the chugging of Bella's old beaten up truck. He quickly made his way to his car and taking off before Bella could catch him and talk to him - as well as very obviously flirt with him.

Bella huffed when she saw Benedict drive his Volvo away from the small white house. She stomped her way inside the house, throwing her bag to the floor in the middle of the hallway - leaving it for her to trip over later in the evening - before shuffling into the kitchen to see Amélie and Charlie joking away to each other in Charlies first language; Italian. Although the moment Bella entered the kitchen the laughs faded to silence. Amélie let her head fall as to now face the ground as to not make eye contact with the girl and upset her, Bella grinned.
