Edward stood in his bedroom, leaning against the wall. He sighed unhappily, then shifted his weight to his left foot, like a human would, if they were standing for a long period of time, but he did it purely as a small change. He sighed again. Wasn't Bella supposed to call? he thought gloomily. I miss her terribly. What's taking her? He took one lightning-quick step to the couch and plopped himself down carelessly. The strength in his movement caused the couch's foot to break through the floor. He peered over the couch arm his head rested on. Esme won't like that too much... he thought. He glared at the gaping hole in the floorboards for a few moments, then laid his head back down.

Bella walked through the front door of the Cullen's house, peering around, expecting to see everyone, but seeing no one. She hoped Edward was home. Truely, it would have been quite the pain to have come over here, only to discover that no one was home. Maybe I should have called first Bella thought, looking around once more, before heading up the stairs.
When she reached the top, she stepped toward Edwards room quietly. Though of coarse, this was ridiculous. She knew, there was no use being quiet in this house. Try as you might to be silent, the Cullen's sharp hearing could detect you pretty much no matter what.
Bella put her hand on the doorknob to Edwards room, and stood there for a moment. Then, she raised her arm, and knocked on the door.

Edward was so attuned to Bella's heartbeat that he could hear her before she even stepped through the front door. He smiled hugely, and sat up from his casual position on the couch. He could clearly hear Bella stepping up the staircase, her heart rapidly accelerating. Edward wondered briefly if Bella knew how obvious she made herself. It sounded like there was an entire drumline outside his closed door. Then, knock knock. He stood up, walked [or rather, leapt] to his door and opened it swiftly. It slammed against the wall, causing a large crack where it hit. He narrowed his topaz eyes at the second mark of damage he'd caused in the past few minutes, then looked back at Bella with a smile.

No matter how many times Bella saw Edward Cullen, she never got used to the way he made her heart pound, or the way just the sight of him took her breath away. A rosy tint rose in her cheeks. "Hello, Edward," she said. It was cool in the house, but seeing as a family of vampires lived there, it really wasn't all that suprising. Bella hugged her jacket close around herself, and smiled up at him.

Edward reached out and pressed a cool hand against Bella's blushing warm face. "What happened to calling after you got off work?" He teased with a smile. "It was driving me crazy." He noticed how she pulled her coat more tightly around her small frame. He frowned. "You must be freezing, love. Here." In half a second he was back, holding out his beige jacket. He wrapped it around Bella's shoulders with care, then led her to sit down on the couch, careful not to get too close as to make her more cold.

Bella wrapped his jacket around herself, and leaned against him, pulling her legs up and tucking them beneath her. She closed her eyes. "I decided I'd rather see you, than give you a call...why, shoud I leave? Is your other girlfriend hiding under the bed?" Bella asked, teasingly, as she opened her eyes and pretended to peer under the bed.
As she leaned over, however, she noticed that the floor had splintered around one of the legs of the couch, and swallowed it up. Bella chuckled lightly. Someone's not going to be too happy about that she thought to herself.

Edward put his pale hands on her shoulders and sat her back on the couch. "You know that you are the only one. I couldn't imagine anyone even close enough to being your competition. There is no one, love. Just you." He pressed his lips against her forehead, then leaned back. "Besides, Alice wouldn't let something like that happen; she loves you. She'd probably tear my head off." He chuckled.

Bella sighed. She would just never understand what Edward saw in her. But she couldn't help but nod her head in agreement about Alice tearing his head off. That thought was immediatly accompanied by a mental image, and she winced.

Edward never got over the feeling of being the absolute prize-winner of the best prize imaginable: Bella. Though for some reason she never felt like she deserved him. He sighed. Edward noticed her wince out of the corner of his eye, and he so badly wanted to know what went on in her mind. He leaned over to her, flattened the crease between her brows with his cool finger, and whispered into her ear, "What are you thinking about?"

Bella shivvered, but not from the coolness of his skin. She always got pleasant goose-bumps when he touched her. Usually, she was good about controling the visible signs, but today was apparantly, not one of those days. Since Bella assumed he was referring to the wince, she saw no reason to lie to him. Not that she could. She was a horrible liar. "I was envisioning Alice ripping your head off," she said, and winced again, as the image shot through her mind's eye again. Though it was completely horrible, it still held a small sense of humor. Alice, the tiny thing that she was, ripping off Edwards head. Bella got the feeling that it would be even more humorus if it was Emmett's head she was ripping off. She chuckled lightly.

Apparently his attempt at lightening the gloomy mood failed; he didn't realize Bella would think seriously about it. "I'm sorry that I upset you..." he whispered as he pressed his face into her brown hair. He suddenly laughed, then sat up again. "Of course it would be even funnier to see her try that on Emmett..." he said at the same moment Bella thought it. "She could take him on."

Bella laughed softly. "That would be a sight to see,"she agreed, smiling at him. Suddenly, a yawn pressed its way up her throat, and escaped out of her mouth, followed immediatly by a long stretch. As she relaxed, she shook her head with her eyes closed, hair flighing lightly around her shoulders. Then she stopped and opened her eyes to once again smile at Edward.

Bella suddenly yawned. Edward tucked a long strand of chestnut hair behind her ear gently, and asked, "Are you ready to go home?" He just realized how late it was getting, from a quick glance out his window at the fading sunlight peeking through the darkening trees. He stood up, and said, "I should probably drive you home... Charlie might be worried." Then he frowned.

Bella felt the sudden absense as Edward left the couch. She looked up at him, and sighed. "Yeah...Charlie's not been in the greatest of moods lately." She got up and stretched again. Bella looked at Edward with a smile, and saw his frown. "What's wrong?"

He turned his head slightly down, staring at the lines in the floor, and said lowly, "I don't want you to leave." He glanced at Bella's face, and chuckled. "I'm so terribly selfish. Aren't I?" He sighed. "Well, let's not get Charlie's mood worse. I'll take you home." He started towards the door, slowly, keeping a normal human's pace.
