[[no worries, love <3 =] ]]
Finally, his face softened completely and he locked eyes with Bella again "Let's not try for three, agreed?" A smile crept on his face as he spoke, just a little one, and then he flinched away when she touched his hand - moved his hand away and under the table where he was safe from her touching him. It wasn't that he didn't want her to touch him, well on some level maybe it was like that - it was hard to explain, it was because of his lust for her blood. He couldn't let her touch him, he couldn't feel the pulse of her blood against his skin. Too inviting, he wouldn't be able to stand it, just hearing it was giving him a hard time feeling it would kill him, literally. However, he did not entirely move from Bella, he leaned forward and spoke;
"I followed you to Port Angeles," He said, admitting to his 'sin' - if you could call it that, which he supposed you could.. Wasn't it kind of stalking what he did? - and he spoke in a rush; "I've never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it's much more troublesome then I would have believed. But I guess it's just because it's you. Ordinary People seem to make it through the day without so many catastrophes." He spoke, pausing when he had finished speaking. He was waiting for a respone for her, though her facial expression told most of it. Satisfaction. Pleasure. She was getting easier to read.

Bella thought about what he said. He had followed it should probably bother her, but instead she felt pleasure. A smile formed on her face she was rather pleased that he had followed her. If he hadn't who knows what would have happened. Bella didn't really want to think about it, she was grateful Edward had been following her. She was definitely not ordinary an ordinary person would probably be freaked out having someone follow them. But Bella wasn't, part of the reason it was Edward that was following her.
"Did you ever think my number was up up the first time with the van?" Bella began speculating. She was distracting herself, which wasn't something she wanted to do necessarily, but was curious. "And you've just been messing with fate?" It could explain why everything dangerous seemed to come at her lately, but then again it was just a guess. She was rather happy to have all these things happen to her if it was Edward who ended up saving her.

There, there was no turning back now. He couldn't keep on lying to Bella anymore and he didn't like it, that was partly why his voice lowered, became to even mroe of a whisper, when he finally spoke again and responded to her words "That wasn't the first time," He said, straining to keep his voice clean - blank that voice, with no emotion attached to any of the words. That would be a total catastrophe and he was sure he would lose his ability to speak - his voice would break, yes that did happen even to vampires. Or so he thought it did, he had never experienced it himself. His eyes turned to look down at the table, he was ashamed of himself. What he was going to tell her now was going to absolutely scare the crap out of her, he was sure.
"Your number was up the first time I met you," He finally chocked out, though even if it had been difficult for him to say, he sounded completely calm. That was one of the more beautiful things about being a vampire, you had control over many things in your body. It took some time before he turned to look at her, just missing the fear that striked through her eyes. "You remember that, Bella?" He asked of her.

Bella felt fear at his words as he turned to look at the table. She remembered that day clearly she had been terrified his eyes black full of hate toward her. She didn't think it was fair of him to hate her so quickly she hadn't done anything to him. Even though he had terrified her that first day she still had those strange reactions when he looked at her she would blush. Even when he talked to her that week later and acted like he hadn't hated her. She knew she couldn't have imagined that first day and those eyes that had changed.
But being here with him she couldn't feel afraid she felt safe. It was impossible to feel any fear with Edward so close by. "Yes," Bella replied when he asked if she remembered. He looked up at her, but any fear that was on her face was now gone. She couldn't feel afraid and she didn't want to. She felt safe, protected near Edward she trusted him.

Silence took over the young female teenager, who was sitting in front of Edward, but he was not surprised. This was the way it should be.. She should remain quiet, she should be scared - which he was sure she was right now. She shouldn't want to be near him. He was dangerous, bad, especially for her. Now, when he had finally told her - word to word - what her time had been up the first time they had met, why wasn't she getting up and walking away? What could possibly stop her? Could she not put two and two together? He had wanted to kill her.. On some level still wanted.
He looked up at her, disbelief striking his eyes and voice when he spoke; "And yet. Here you sit," He said. How had he been able to be so strong? She was sitting here.. Alive and unharmed. How had he managed to keep in so much control of himself that day, which seemed like years ago?

Bella could see and hear the disbelief when he spoke. He couldn't scare her, she felt to safe around him to be afraid. "Yes I sit here, because of you," Bella was as calm as before. If it wasn't for him she wouldn't be here either tonight or with the van incident. She felt very safe right now, she knew he wouldn't hurt her. He things of himself as the bad guy, dangerous, he is dangerous, but no bad. No, she didn't believe that. How bad could someone be if they save your life twice?
"Because somehow you knew how to find me?" Bella continued. She was curious as to how he found her, why he had followed her. She didn't know if he would answer her question or not he had started to be truthful and tell her some answers. But she didn't know how long that was going to last.

Oh no, she was thanking him again. When would she learn that she wasn't supposed to thank him? He was the one putting her in danger in the first place, she was supposed to be running away from him not thank him. She had gotten it all wrong. he pressed his lips together when she spoke again, her words forming a question. He was debating again whether to answer ehr or not, to tell the truth or lie. His eyes flashed down at her full plate and then back at her. If she would eat he would talk, that seemed fair enough "You eat, I'll talk" He spoke, raising an eyebrow.
he then sighed, starting on his long answer to her question; "well, it's actually harder then it should be - keeping track of you that is. usually i can find someone very easily if i've heard their mind before" An anxious look was directed at her as she froze. Edward didn't let it bother him for long though, as she moved again, and he continued to speak; "I was keeping track on Jessica, not carefully - as I mentioned before, you're the only one who could find trouble in Port Angeles - and at first I didn't even notice that you had taken off on your own. When i finally did realize that you were no longer with her, I went looking for you at the bookstore I saw in her head. When I came there though, I could tell that you hadn't gone in and that you'd gone south.. naturally you would have to turn around soon, so I was just waiting for you, and while waiting, randomly searching the minds of people on the street - to see if anyone had noticed you so i would know where you were. I had no reason to be worried, I knew that.. but I was strangely anxious.." flashbacks ran through his mind, reminding him of her face which he had seen in the thoughts of those men. He felt his temper boiling over just by the thought of it and his eyes became dazed.
"I was driving around in circles.. still listening. It was getting dark, the sun was setting, and I was debating on whether to get out already and track you down on foot. and then -" He stopped, suddenly clenching his teeth together in a sudden fury. the face of her, the way they had thought about her, appeared once again in his memory and his anger boiled over. this was torture, he had so stay calm, and he forced himself to stay on his chair and go on; "I heard what they were thinking" He growled, his upper lip curling slightly back over his teeth "I saw your face in his mind," in one quick motion, his elbows appeared on the table and his hands were covering his eyes.
"I was very.. hard - you can't even imagine how hard - for me to simply take you away and leave them.. alive" His voice was merely a whisper and he felt so weak at this moment, telling Bella all of this "I could have let you go with Jessica and Angela.. But I was afraid that if you left me alone then I would go track them down.. That I would go kill them," His voice was muffled by his arm.
He sat like that, with his face in his hands, for a while and then, finally, when he had calmed himself completely down he looked up at her, his eyes full with his own questions "Are you ready to go home?" He asked, as she said nothing.

I quickly took a bite to eat so he would tell me how he found me. I listen intently and paused without even knowing it he glanced at me and I continued my meal so he would continue. Bella listen to every word everything he had done. Watching as he put his hand over his eyes it startled her with how fast it was. But even still she listen as he admitted why he needed her to stay so he wouldn't go kill those men. Just as she had thought in the car he had wanted to kill those men and she knew he would be able to.
After what seemed like over he turned his eyes to her and asked if she was ready to go home. But she still wanted to ask questions she wanted to know more. "I'm ready to leave," she was no ready to go home, not yet.

The waitress appeared as if she had been called.. or watching.. She had probably read their body languages, his and Bella's - some people were fairly good at that - and was probably aware of the fact that they were about to leave. Edward didn't seem to give it to much thought, he kept his eyes on Bella - he was concentrating on her. "We're ready for the check now, thank you," He answerd the waitress as she asked of him how they were doing. When she didn't answer he looked up, still waiting.
She muttered some words and then handed him a black leather folder and already Edward had a bill ready, which he slipped into the folder wich he handed back to the waitress. He smiled at her as he spoked; "No change." He then got to his feet. As she wished him a good evening he thanked her but without taking his eyes off of Bella. The waitress didn't interest him, not the least. Slowly, he made his way to the door, keeping close to Bella.

Bella watched as the waitress tried to be a little warmer than necessary, but noticed Edward kept his eyes on her. Bella remembered Jessica saying that her and Mike will be at the first kiss stage Bella sighed as she walked beside Edward to the car. He made sure to keep a no space contact. Bella got in the car ad Edward opened her door.
Bella looked at Edward unsure of what he would say next. Should she ask a question she was curious and wanted to know. And he seemed to be honest with him all night and that did please her. She wasn't sure if she would have gotten and truthful answers or any at all. He had been avoiding them lately, but now he was finally telling her something.

He started the engine and turned on the heater. Of course, Edward couldn't feel this, but it was getting cold hence the reason to why he had turned on the heater. He didn't want for Bella to get cold and his jacket probably wasn't helping all to much - After all, a ice cold vampire had been in it before.. It must be freezing, he hoped not though. Carefully, though not seeming to pay anyt attention at all, he pulled out into the traffic and flipped around to head toward the freeway. Soon enough they were on their way home, driving at one hundred miles an hour.
[colorwhite]"Now," He spoke "You promised me something before.. It's your turn now, I answered your questions.. Theory, please" He said, smiling slightly.

[[I'm going go slightly different from the book.]]
This what she wanted to avoid, but wouldn't it be best to get this over with no matter how upset or wrong this theory was? How to begin? Bella did know if she could actually say it, vampire. Was there any possible way none of it seemed to add up. "I don't even know how to start," Bella said unsure. She looked away trying to think how to word her theory so he wouldn't be to upset.
Bella didn't say anything for a while she looked over at the speed and her eyes widen. "Are you trying to kill us?!" Bella demanded. He was going a hundred miles an hours. Was he crazy, or just wanted her out of the car that bad? Bella looked at him waiting for an answer he woudn't have asked her for her theory if he wanted to kill her. Though he might want to after she tells him.

[[kk, no problem! X3 <3]]
She sound unsure of her words and so he got the impression that it was bad. Hmm, it couldn't be that bad could it? Really, seriously. The worst thing that would be was that she would find out what his secret was and then, maybe, she would finally be clever enough to beg of him to stop the car so she could get out and run away. Maybe, just maybe, you could never be sure with Bella. She was different from others and her reactions.. Well, they were confusing, she never reacted normally. As said before, she was different. Completely different. "Why don't you start from the beginning?" He asked of her, smiling a crooked smile.
He was startled and flashed a glance at her "No, why?" He asked of her, furrowing a bit on her hysterics. Why had she suddenly gotten so hysterical, what was wrong? What had he done? He felt like a criminal.

"You're going a hundred miles an hour!" Bella yelled looking at his speed. What kind of person drove at the speed? Did he really want to get rid of her that quickly? But he wasn't trying to kill she looked at the speed once more before looking at his face. "Are you in that big of a hurry?" Bella questioned Edward.
She honestly didn't know where to start from the beginning. "When I went to La Push Saturday," Bella started looking away from Edward and at her hands in her lap. "I met up with some friends..." Bella trailed off. She glanced at Edward before turning away again. She was afraid she would be angry. She didn't know what he would think when she said La Push would he think of the treaty she had heard from Jacob?

He rolled his eyes at Bella. She was being ridiculous.. She didn't need to worry, really "Relax, Bella" He said, glancing at her and then shrugged when she asked if he was in that of a hurry "No. I always drive like this" He answered her, looking at her. Did she accuse him of wanting to get rid of her? He hoped not. it wasn't like that at all, no. he would love to be with her but this was simply how he drove.. He liked to go fast, as did the rest of his family. That was the reason to why they had the cars they had.
Edward looked puzzled. Okay, so she had been at the beach, that he already knew, and she had met up with some friends. Of course she would have met up with some friends - Mike, Jessica, Angela and the others.. He would be slightly worried if she hadn't met up with any friend after all and had been in La Push by herself "Okay?" He answered, flashing her a glance.

"Always?" Bella questioned. "Why? Can't you slow down?" Bella didn't like going this fast. If they were to wreck at this speed she knew she wouldn't' be the one walking away from it. "What if we wreck?" Bella asked of course part of this could be to avoid telling him what she had found out.
"I talked to an old family friend," Bella looked at Edward. "Jacob Black," Bella looked away worried that he would find out what she was getting to. "He was telling me some old stories, legends." Bella didn't look up at Edward. Could she even say it. He had told her about cold-ones, vampires. Would he be angry, was there any truth to it?

He didn't take his eyes away from the road, just to try and calm Bella down. She was getting way to hysterical about this. Jeez, she didn't really think that he would crash, right? "I don't like going slow" He said, not being able to hold a glance at her back. He then rolled his eyes when she asked what would happen if they crashed. She was been silly "Relax, Bella, we're not going to crash.. I've never had an accident.. I haven't even gotten a ticket. Ever, in my whole life" Sure, because he had been a vampire his whole life.. He tapped his head, smiling a crooked smile "Built in radar detecter" He said.
He frowned upon her words. He was still confused. Okay, so she had met an old family friend, Jacob Black. What did he have to do with her theory? When she said something about legends he thought he seemed to understand. It didn't sound like it was going to turn out good "Go on," He spoke. [/color]

"Very funny," Bella replied. "I was raised to follow the rules. My dad's a cop remember?" Bella still didn't like going fast and it didn't look like he was going to slow down. She wanted to drag this out to avoid the conversation about her latest theory, but she didn't think she could for much longer.
Bella bit her lip as he told her to go on. "He told me one..." Bella paused looking at Edward. "About vampires," Bella continued to look at Edward waiting for his response. Would he be angry about this, was it completely ridiculous? She didn't care, but wanted to know. It didn't matter. She kept telling herself this. She didn't care what he was.

[[aw, thanks love]]
Edward rolled his eyes at her and slowed a little down "Fine now?" He asked of her, slightly annoyed by her commenting on his driving. He didn't like that "I hate going slow" He complained, furrowing upon this. Oh well, he shouldn't let this irritate him. It was no big deal, really - if Bella felt safer driving slower then he would slow down, surely.. The most important thing was that Bella would feel safe.. She had no common sense so he wasn't sure she knew when to feel safe or not. For example, she seemed to feel comfortable with him and that was wrong of her to feel. He was dangerous and bad. Why wouldn't she understand that?
He looked at her. Aha, so her friend had told her a legend about vampires. Edward was calm. This was bound to happen, her finding out about his secret "And you immidiatly thought of me?" He asked of her, calm as always, showing her that he was not mad at all. Why would he? Silly Bella. [/color]

"A little," Bella finally said watching as he slowed down. This was still to fast for comfort, but she wasn't going to be able to get him to slow down anymore. He thought it was slow. Bella knew this part of the conversation was over she would have to focus on what Jacob had told her.
"No, he mentioned your family," Bella said seeing that Edward was calm. "He really didn't think anything of it, he didn't think I would take it seriously," Bella said hoping he wouldn't get mad at Jacob she wanted to protect him. Even though Edward was calm he might be hiding his anger. "I forced him to tell me," Bella admitted. She hadn't thought she would have been able to get it out of him so easily.

A little? God, did she not trust him? He really wouldn't crash, he had never crashed or gotten a ticket.. It was something which went along with vampires. They didn't have to pay attention to drive smoothly, the had cat like senses.. Plus, everything kind of went by in slowmotion when your were a vampire, så really there was no chance of crashing.. ever. She was safe with him.. Well, almost that was.
He glanced at her once, as she continued on explaining. He couldn't help a smirk when she defended Jacob Black. He must be a good friend if she happened to care about him so much. He said nothing to her defending and just nodded. He was about to think of a new question which he could ask her, seeing that she suddenly became silent, but she continued the conversation admitting that she had forced Jacob into telling her. Edward let a dark chuckle escape his lips, and he turned his head to look at her "And how did you do that?" He asked of her, thoroughly curious. [/color]

"Well I tried flirting it worked better than I thought," Bella blushed looking away. He didn't seem upset but he might be hiding it. It had been easier than she thought it would have been to get the story out of Jacob. It was what Lauren had said and Jacob's friends saying 'The Cullen's don't come here' it seemed to have another meaning and it did.
At least he knew what she had thought, but if it was still a theory she didn't know. It didn't matter to her what he was. She knew he would never hurt her after all the times he had saved her. How she felt protected being near him. She wanted to be with him no matter what he was.

A deep, dark, chuckle escaped his lips once again and he glanced at her "Flirted?" He asked, a boyish kind of crooked smile on his lips "I would have loved to see that," He smiled and shook his head. He really would, Bella attempting to flirt seemed like something he would want to see. Would she maybe try and flirt with him someday? Had she already made an attempt to flirt with him? Did he want it? It wasn't right for him to want it.. it wasn't right for him to even think something like this. It was wrong for him to even want to be in her presence. Everything he did was wrong. When would he ever do something that was good to her? "And you accuse me of dazzling people? Poor Jacob Black," He chuckled once again.
Silence came agai. He looked at her, wondering what she was thinking at the moment, but shook those thoughts out of his had "Go on," He then spoke, urging her to speak. He was still waiting for her theory. [/color]

Edward's statements made Bella blush even more."
[/b] Even after Jacob had told her that story she didn't know if it was true. She also did some research online it had seemed ridiculous to her at the time looking up vampires. It had seemed like it would be possible when she took a walk in the woods they hadn't changed in hundreds of years. The world of myths seem so likely there. Bella didn't look back at Edward when he told her to go on. "I did some research online," Bella admitted. "Nothing really fitted it was silly." Bella paused finally looking up at Edward. "I decided it didn't matter," Bella said whispering this. [/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]

He smiled, pleased as she continued. He words, those she spoke, pleased him as well. She had done research, eh? Cute. She had really gotten on to him, huh? She knew about his secret. He guessed it couldn't be helped, she would have found out eventually anyway. She was to observant. Way to observant "So it didn't convince you?" He asked, when she said it didn't really fit and that it was silly. He was sure that what she had read was true. He wondered what she had read. Something must have been true, about what she had read. Many things were written about vampires on the internet, she had to stumble across something that fitted.
Though she whispered he could still hear her loud and clearly. It didn't matter?! "It doesn't matter?!" He asked, his voice harsh with strain. Was she completely out of her mind? It didn't matter if he was a monster or not? Of course it mattered!

[[Sorry it's short, I couldn't think of anything.]]
Bella shook her head it didn't convince her much. There were a few things that did add up inhuman strength, speed, beauty, cold-skinned. But most of it didn't make much sense. But she remembered the one entry that there was at least one good vampire through the many she had searched she had found one.
"No it doesn't matter to me what you are," Bella replied. She didn't care and he couldn't change the way she felt. She knew he wouldn't hurt her after all he had saved her life twice why would he harm her now?

[[it's okay, love =].. and sorry it took so long to reply <3 ]]
He felt anger well up inside of him. It didn't matter?! it didn't matter?! what, was she completely out of her mind? Did she not understand what it meant, him being a vampire? Did she not understand that he was beyond dangerous, especially for her? One wrong twist and he could kill her. How could she not care? "It doesn't matter to you that I'm a monster?" He asked, his voice slightly shaky. He wasn't mad at her, he couldn't find himself to be that, but he couldn't accept that she thought this didn't matter, that what he was didn't matter. It did matter, the most. She was such a stupid girl..
"It matters so much more then you think.. Don't you understand that I am dangerous?" He asked, his voice low. "And to you especially"

[[That's fine, no rush, take your time.]]
Bella was surprised by his anger and his voice, but it didn't matter. "I don't care," Bella replied she kept her voice was calm. It was true she didn't care what he was even a monster as he said. She didn't believe that how could he be so horrible after saving her life twice, how could someone so perfect like Edward Cullen be a monster. She didn't believe that not for one second.
Bella should feel afraid by what he said, but she didn't. She couldn't be afraid of him. She knew she should just like in the restaurant she should have been terrified by what he said but in his presence she couldn't find anything to make her afraid. She looked at him it was dangerous for her particularly? "Is it hard to be with me now?" Bella asked. Her voice barely above a whisper. she didn't want to make this difficult for him, but she wanted to be with him.

[[Thank ^^ <3 ]]
He didn't understand this. Either she was just stupid as hell, more then normal, or else she was that one exception that would never be afraid of monsters like him. The first option was most likely, maybe she was completely stupid. She didn't understand the importance that lay behind the reality.. She should be running away by now, she had just discovered what he was, but she wasn't. And that was a stupid act, and it confused him more then she could imagine it would "You dont.. care" He muttered to himself "Bella, that's ridiculous.." He said, feeling his voice care. "You don't care that I wanted to kill those men back there?.. You don't care that I'm a bloodthristy beast?" He didn't look at her, knowing that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions if he did. Where was Jasper when you needed him? "Would you even... 'not care'... if I told you that I wanted to kill you?" Still not looking, he forbade himself to look at her.
He seemed to be calming down after this. He had a great temper, he should have warned her before that. Oh, no, wait. She had warned him that he wouldn't like it.. He should not have pushed her to tell it. Sighing at her question, he looked stiffly out at the road. His facial expression softened a little "Yes.." He answered her, his voice hoarse. "You have no idea.." He chuckled darkly, still not looking at her.

Bella did feel afraid by his last words that he wanted to kill her. He was bloodthirsty he said but it didn't matter. She didn't care what he was a monster that he had wanted to kill her. He wouldn't hurt her she knew that. "You won't hurt me," Bella was completely confident in that statement she knew he wouldn't. He had saved her life twice followed her to make sure nothing happen to her. Even if he had or still wanted to kill her she couldn't be afraid. She couldn't make herself stay afraid of him.
"You're angry," Bella stated looking at him. She could tell maybe she shouldn't have said anything maybe she should have kept what she knew to herself. "Maybe I shouldn't have said anything," Bella added in a whisper. She looked way when he said it was hard for him that she had no idea. She didn't want to cause him pain and it was difficult to be around her. That was something she didn't want and wish she could help in some way.
