------------------------------
We walk into the bedroom and I flop down onto the bed on my back. I look at Peter and smile.
"I feel like we were targeted all through out that game." he says chuckling.
"You're telling me! I was literally molested by Kellan." I say. He smiles and climbs into the bed and lays next to me.
"You alright?" he asks. I nod.
"Is it true?" I ask. He looks at me confused.
"Is what true?"
"That you thought of me since you met me." He looks back at the ceiling blushing and smiles.
"Oh. Ahh. Yeah. It's true." he says embarrassed. I smile at him. He turns to me when he notices I didn't say anything. He stares at me and smiles.
"Is that weird and creepy of me?" he asks. I shake my head no.
"Me too." I blurt out.
"Huh?"
"I..uh..I did that too. Thought of you. I mean."
He chuckles. We lay there, staring at each other. I sit up and look around. He sits up and scoots off of the bed.
"Follow me." he says, grabbing my hand. He pulls me to the doors in our bedroom and takes me onto the balcony.
Letting go of my hand, he jumps onto the ledge of the balcony and then hops onto the roof. I follow him and we sit on the edge of the flat roof with our legs dangling over.
"It's so beautiful." I say quietly. He hums in agreement.
"Hey Peter?" I whisper
"Yeah?"
"What will happen when we get back home?" I ask. He looks at me and I stare at him with worried eyes. He strokes my cheek with his thumb.
"Everything will be alright darling." He tells me. I nods and he wraps his arm around my shoulders. I lean into his side and rest my head on his shoulder.
"Is it strange that I want to stay here?" I whispers.
"Now why would you want that?" he asks. I shrug.
Peter's POV
I feel Liz shrug. I know something is wrong with her. I squeeze her shoulder encouragingly.
"I just...I think Gavin is going to ask me to marry him." I turn and look at her.
"That's....that's great. Wow." I say, trying to hide my pain with a smile.
"Do you think I should say yes?"
"Liz it's not my decision."
"I know but...tell me...tell me what you want me to do." she says frustratedly. She shrugs out of my embrace and stands up.
"I can't. It's not my place." I say, confused as to why she is frustrated. She sighs sharply.
"Damn it! I'm asking for you to tell me not to marry him. Tell me you don't want me to marry him." Water begins to fill her eyes.
"Why would I do that? You deserve a good guy. Gavin is good."
"I know he is a good guy. But I don't want Gavin."
"Oh. Well who do you want then?" I ask, still extremely confused.
"Jesus Christ, Peter. I want you! Is that not obvious?"
She wants me? Liz wants me? I must be dreaming. There's no way. Maybe she doesn't mean that she wants me the way I want her. Maybe she wants me a different way. Or maybe she is joking.
"Liz...I..."
"Just forget it. Forget I said anything." She begins to walk away but I grab her arm before she does.
"You want me?" I ask, stepping closer to her.
"Yes." she says, still upset
"All of me? My flaws? My annoying habits?" I step closer again, looking deeply into her eyes. She nods slowly and her eyes glance down at my lips.
"You're sure?" I whisper. She nods slightly.
"So if I were to kiss you today, and tomorrow, and everyday after that. You would still want to be with me?" I whisper as I lean my face closer to hers. She closes her eyes as her breathing picks up.
I lightly brush her cheek with my finger and she shudders. I kiss her forehead and walk away.
"We should get back now." I jump off of the roof and onto the grass. I see Charlie's cruiser parked in the driveway. I walk inside and see him on the couch with everyone else.
"Hello Charlie. What a pleasant surprise." I say.
"Dr. Cullen. Good to see ya. Sorry for coming over so late. I just wanted to see how my Bells was doing." he says.
"Not a problem. You're welcome at our house any time of the day." I tell him.
"You better have a good reason for leaving mister-" Liz walks in and pauses when she sees Charlie. "Charlie. How are you?" she asks smiling.
"I'm sorry. Did I interrupt something?" he asks.
"No." I say.
"Well actually..." Liz says.
"Esme. Did I upset you in some way?" I ask, acting innocent.
"You don't know what you did Carlisle?" Liz asks calmly. I flash a grin at her.
"No, darling. Would you mind informing me?" I ask.
"You should know what you did wrong. Darling." she says through gritted teeth.
"My apologies. I seem to be upsetting you even more." I say.
"Yes. You are upsetting me."
"Hm. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" I ask, stepping closer to her. She quickly steps away.
"Darling, I cannot change my ways if you do not tell me what I did wrong." I tell her. She quickly looks at our audience and huffs.
"Carlisle...You are in trouble because...you ignored me...when we were talking about that intellectual matter." she said, not wanting anyone to know what happened between us.
Robert and Ashley are grinning at her cover up, them being the only other ones who know because of their gifts.
"I ignored you?" She nods. "Well I am deeply sorry. This was not my intent at all."
"Is that so? Because you seemed to know what you were doing when you walked away from me."
"You make a valid point, my love." I sweep her hair behind her ear. She smiles slightly.
"I am sorry for walking away from you. It will never happen again." I tell her.
"Okay." she whispers. I grab her hand and squeeze it.
"Was that an argument?" Charlie asks.
"Probably one of their worst fights." Jackson says.
"Wow. It was so civilized. I could barely tell you were fighting." he says. I chuckle and wrap my arm around Elizabeth's shoulder.
"Would you like something to eat Charlie?" she asks.
"Oh no. Thank you Mrs. Cullen." he says blushing.
"Esme." she says. He smiles and nods.
"So how have you been dad?" Kristen asks.
"Good. I uh...I met Seth and Leah's mom the other day." he mumbles.
"Yeah? She's nice."
"Yeah she is. Well. I'm gonna head out. See ya later Bells." he says, kissing the top of her head.
"Bye dad." she says. Charlie walks out and all head turn to Liz and me.
"What was the fight about?" Jackson asks.
"Nothing." we say at the same time. I walk trough the kitchen and out to the porch. I hear the rest of the family follow.
"Come on. You two can't hide forever. We'll find a way to break you." Kellan says.
"I know where Liz is ticklish!" Nikki says. Liz gasps and stares at her.
Kellan and Jackson both grab one of Liz's arms and hold her while Nikki walks up.
"Liz, if you just tell us what's going on, then we won't tickle you." Nikki says.
"Nik! Its a private matter. You guys shouldn't have to know. And I've already been violated enough tonight." Liz says panicky.
Nikki sighs and walks away.
"She's right. It's a private matter and they probably don't want to discuss it." Kellan and Jackson release her and she runs away from them.
"Besides. I'm sure Robert already knows. And he will tell us." she says. All eyes go to Robert.
"I...uh...I'm not so sure." Rob says.
Kellan and Jackson grab his arms.
"Okay okay! Liz told Peter that he loves him and he ran." he blurts out. Liz looks at him with an expression of hurt and shock.
"Why did you run?" Ashley asks.
"Um..I...I wasn't expecting it. And it happened so fast. I just needed time to process it." I tell them. I look at Liz's hurt expression and walk toward her.
"I really am sorry for leaving." I tell her.
"Why did you really leave?" she asks. I chuckle at her ability to see right through me.
"I was afraid." I admit.
"Of what?"
"You."
"Me? Why would you be afraid of me?" she asks. I play with the ends of her hair, stroking it.
"Because of the way you make me feel." She smiles and looks away.
"Darling?" I put my finger under her chin and turn her head so she looks at me.
"Yes?" she asks.
"I love you." I tell her.
"You do?" I smile and slowly nod.
"Yes, Elizabeth. I love you." My soul soars as she smiles at my statement.
"I love you too." she whispers.
"You do?" I ask. She nods.
"Alright Liz and Peter! Finally!" Kellan shouts. Ashley smacks the back of his head.
"We'll just go for a walk. Leave you two alone." Nikki says. They all run off into the woods.
I turn back toward Liz and smile.
"You love me." she says smiling.
"I do." I tell her. I place my hand on the side of her face and lean closer to her.
"Beautiful?" I ask.
"Yes?"
"Can I kiss you?" She looks into my eyes biting her lip and nods.
I lean toward her and close my eyes. A spark of electricity shoots through me when I kiss her.
Her lips move against mine, expertly and I drag my tongue across her bottom lip. She opens her mouth slightly and my tongue begins to explore her mouth.
Our tongues dance together as her hand tangles itself into my hair. I place my other hand on her lower back and pull her body closer to me.
I pull away and we both start gasping for air that we don't need. I open my eyes to see that hers are still closed.
I trace her bottom lip with my thumb and she opens her eyes. I look deeply into her beautiful green eyes and smile.
"Wow." she whispers. I chuckle and place my forehead against hers. She hugs me and we stand there, taking comfort in each other's embrace.
I kiss her forehead and look at her again. She smiles at me and strokes my cheek with her hand.
"Peter?" she whispers.
"Yes, love?"
"Can I keep you?"
I nod and whisper, "Yes."
"Promise?" I nod.
"Pinky promise?" I hold out my pinky and let her hook hers through mine.
"Pinky promise." I say.
