*Hello! Just a quick note to say I'll be updating this chapter for a bit rather than just adding a new one. This means it won't look like I updated or anything... but I have ;) So please feel free to check this one out whenever to take a look! Thankyou so much for reading! Bubye!*
Walking out the bathroom I threw my towel on the floor. I stood in front of my mirror in my underwear with my hair still damp from the shower. My hair goes a little wavier than usual when it’s damp so I flick my head and try and flatten in down with no success. It’s so dark it’s almost black usually, so when I wash it is just a black curtain down my back. Temptation is telling me to dye it black as it looks more vampy that way, but my mum is telling me no. Spoil sport.
I’m just rubbing moisturiser over my legs when there’s a sharp knock at the door.
“Yeah?” I yell. Glancing at the clock and judging by the time it can’t be mum saying dinner!
“It’s some friend from school for you, downstairs.” Mum calls through the door.
“Send them up please.” I call back. I slip on one of my long black shirts. It reaches just past my arse and as I do it up I get the buttons mucked up so it’s rather low at the top. There’s another knock at the door. Pushing hair from my face I turn to the mirror to check my appearance.
“Yeah. C’mon in.” I call lazily. I wait for Keira to burst in on me with more questions about the ball.
But there is no noise. I turn round to look at the empty door way. What on earth is going on here?
“Hel-OH!” I start to ask what’s going on but suddenly I’m swept up in someone’s arms. Again, I start to ask what’s going on but then the someone is pressing their lips to mine and I can’t remember where I am. Deep down I think I knew who it was the second the door opened and then there was no one there I just didn’t want to get my hopes up. Edward. His hands grip tightly on my waist and he kisses all down my jaw line onto my neck and then lifts back the shoulder of my shirt to expose more skin...
“Edward.” I gasp. Stepping back I leave him stood with hands clutching at air. “What, what, just, what are you doing here?” I stammer a bit, trying to work out what to say to him.
“I wanted to see you.” He says quietly.
“But, but, why?” I burst out.
“I just needed to. I mean, Adrianna; it’s been a couple of days but I’ve missed you.” He says desperately. Blinking I look at his face to see if he’s joking.
“What?” I demand. “Is this some kinda joke?”
“No honestly. I haven’t thought of anyone else but you, nothing else but you.” He says. His voice gets more and more tense and his eyes burn into mine.
“But I, but it’s, what?” What is there to say to that? Honestly, what?
Within two seconds he is right in front of me again, taking hold of my wrists.
“Listen to me. Since I saw you at the ball, I’ve thought of nothing but you.” He says it slowly.
“This is a joke right?” My eyebrows raise and I etch disbelief onto my face. If I say the same to him, ‘coz it’s true, and then it might turn out to be a joke! I’ll look stupid.
“Why won’t you believe me?” He say, looking a little hurt.
“I’m sorry. But I’ve only met you once?” I question.
“I know and I sound crazy. But let’s put it this way, let’s meet more.” Winking he smiles hopefully.
“Right okay. And by the way, how did you get past my mum? I’m grounded!”
“Coz’ I’m amazing right? I told her I was from school.” He says it proudly.
“You look to old for school!” I say with a laugh. But then it dawns on me, he must know I’m still in school. Thus he knows I haven’t turned. Bugger.. I pause, what do I say?
“What’s up?” Concern fills his voice. Ah. Quickly glancing at my mirror I see my whole face has changed. My eyes are cautious and I’m biting hard into my lip. Gulping I take a breath.
“I go to school.” I say carefully. Waiting for his reaction I stare at his face.
“Yeah?” His expression goes blank. “What’s wrong with that?”
“I’m still at school.” I say with emphasis on the still.
“Yes. I know. But what’s wrong with that?” Edward says looking a bit worried now.
With a groan I throw my arms into the air and look at him desperately.
“What part of I’m still at school do you not get?” I pause but as he starts to protest I cut him off. “Look! I’m still in school which means I’m 18. Get it now?” Completely still and hardly breathing I stand in front of him waiting for the light bulb to click on.
“Yeah I know that.” He says. Confusion seems to be spreading all round here!
“I’m not fully turned! Okay? I’m not the old, experienced and, oh I don’t even know, I’m not who you think I am!” My voice gets louder and louder. I just can’t stand rejection, I’d rather get it now than two weeks down the line. My chest rises and falls quickly and my fists ball up at my sides.
Edward wanders over to my bed and sits down. The covers are screwed up and there are various different t shirts strewn over the pillow. Cringing a little, I stare at him. What is he playing at? With a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth he sits back, his hands propping him up.
“What?” I explode. Stamping my foot I growl at him, teeth bared.
“You are simply amazing.” He says with a slight shake of his head.
“What is WRONG with you?” I shout. “Can you just leave me now; I’m not waiting a week for you to realize you’ve made a mistake.” Shaking and furious I narrow my eyes.
“Mistake? Leave you? What?” Edward states blankly.
Then it hits him. My explanation didn’t make sense but his brain worked it out. He knows that I know that he is going to leave me at some point when he gets bored of a little girl. Jaw dropping and eyes widening he just shakes his head. Then he is as angry as I am.
“Is that what you think I’m like? Is that it? You think just ‘coz you’re a bit younger than me and not turned yet that I’d leave you? Really Adrianna? We’ve only met once and you’ve set your standards so low of me already.” His eyes seem to change from soft and gentle to flashing and furious in 0.5 seconds. I blink in shock. He’s twisting my words!
“No it’s not like that, you wouldn’t mean to hurt me I guess-” I start to explain but he butts in.
“You guess? I would never intentionally hurt you! Age doesn’t matter to me. I couldn’t care less how vampire you are. If you were a human I’d still want you. I want you know, Adrianna.” His voice softens and suddenly he’s back to charming gentleman.
“But we’ve only met once.” I whisper.
“I know and that’s why this is so crazy. Please just let us try.” He sounds like he’s pleading.
“Try what?” I can only whisper now, I just feel so crazy.
“I don’t know.” He puts his head in his hands.
“Well get out and let me think.” I say loudly.
“What?” His head snaps up.
“You heard. Get out.” Walking forward I grab the front of his t shirt and pull him up. I brush my lips across his cheek. Breathing softly against his cheek I feel him tremble.
“Leave me be, and I’ll think about. Okay?” Honestly, I have no idea what I’m doing. This is just some crazy impulse. I kiss the edge of his mouth and run a finger down his spine. Edward sighs and his hands move to my hips. Pushing them off I grab hold of the hem of his t shirt as if I’m going to rip it off. Pulling him towards me and stepping back I lead him to the door and shove him out.
“Laters Eddy.” I whisper and blow him a kiss before slamming the door on his clouded face.
