Edward felt more so then saw the smile that no doubt played across Bella's lips, he had barely even spoken to her but already he was seemingly so attuned to her, that he could feel when she was smiling now? none of it really made any sense. Yet this new found connection he was eager to explore, to learn more from Bella, to simply understand her, he had never wished to understand someone so much as he did with Bella now. Of course her reply didn't really come as any surprise he had expected as much
from her once again it was odd how it felt like he knew her, yet at the same time didn't know her at all. "I guessed as much." Edward commented, as he glanced briefly back over his shoulder, he realized he was perhaps moving to fast, slowing his pace he waited for Bella to catch up, before he then eventually slowed his own pace to walk slightly beside he, yet slightly in front. Her tone was quiet and soft, had he been human he doubted he would of barely even heard her, yet considering he was far from human, he could hear everything, even the quick rhythm of her racing heart within her chest, right down to the rush of blood as it pumped through her veins.

Whatever it was there was no denying that there was certainly something between them, he didn't know what..but it was there and it was strong and it was something both of them were trying hard to ignore, and that suited him fine.
You talk about me being next to you as if its a bad thing...is it really that horrible to want to be friends? Bella commented, if only she knew the whole story, and the reasons behind it. Edward shook his head and glanced to her his eyes, remained black, yet they were no longer harsh or devoid of all emotions. Although his eyes were black they held and odd sense of warmth, and small emotion, emotion that he himself couldn't work out. "You have no idea how dangerous it is you just being beside me, and with me at this moment. I am taking a huge risk simply being here now." Edward admitted as he glanced around the surrounding area, for any further signs of potential danger, he felt the need to take every possible precaution available, what with Bella being here, he felt a further sudden need to protect her to all extents and no matter the cost, which was completely uncharacteristic of him up to now.

As he walked a fraction further ahead he could feel eyes on him, and he knew without a doubt that it was Bella, glancing over his shoulder to her again, he met her gaze for the briefest of moments before he continued on ahead elegantly stepping over various tree roots. As he did so he was waiting for Bella's reply to his question that came moments later, stopping now, he turned around to face her, as he waited once again for Bella to catch up as she spoke, she seemed to be paying a lot of attention to the floor, obviously she was determined to not full over. He could not help the small smile that crept onto his lips, tilting the corner of his lips, forming a slight crooked smile at her overly cautious attitude. Still he waited, a moment later his smile soon disappeared as quick as it appeared

He's told me more than once, I never go deep enough into the forest though, I always stay close enough to find my way back. Its quiet here. You have no idea how weird it is to be surrounded by people asking about Jacob...why we're getting married, whens the wedding...my sisters constant poking and prodding at me to let her plan everything...

So she wasn't just dating the dog, she was engaged to him? the dog's scent simply surrounded her, coated her it was so strong, it almost made him retch the closer she got. Yet however it wasn't nearly as strong when he held his breath, like now for example. "You should listen to him, you do realize he has every right to warn you away from these woods. I know, I certainly wouldn't let you in these woods." Edward stated glancing around briefly as he then continued to walk, once Bella had caught up. Looking to her as he walked beside her, he caught her smile, a smile that he could not help but return, the corners of his lips, tilting into a crooked smile once again.

I um- I've always been a bit...stubborn. I think I got that from my dad... She admitted, in reply Edward nodded. "I presumed that much, for one thing if you were the type that listened you wouldn't be here in the first place." he admitted as his smile widened a fraction. Before they approached a large fallen log, with little effort, he jumped and cleared it, perhaps too perfectly. More so then he should of. As he landed softly and then he turned around, to face her, to make sure that she didn't trip or fall, which the possibility seemed likely.
Why were you out here? She asked moments later. He knew he should of expected such a question. Thinking fast he shrugged his shoulders elegantly. "My father is a doctor, I was came to gather specific herbs and plants that would help. my Family and I we have always traveled, we plan to leave once this year is through. Perhaps sooner, it depends." Edward admitted, at least his words were partly true.

Bella continued to walk, steadily and carefully. She was trying so hard not to fall down, not to make a fool of herself. She didnt want to be laughed at, though she doubted he would laugh...or at least he wouldnt laugh out loud but she was certain he'd laugh a little on the inside. She took a small breath once she wa close to him and couldn't help but raised her hand to her lip, biting on her fingernail. Or what was left of it. Her nails were stubby, barely there. A nasty habit she had, biting her fingernails. Esme had told her time and time again that it wasnt the best thign for a girl to bite their nails and often told her to stop but there was no point. It was a very hard habit to break.

She shook her head stubbornly, listening as he spoke but his words didnt register as he meant them to "I dont believe that...I- Why is it so dangerous?" she spoke, her voice laced with curiosity. He kept saying how dangerous it was for her to be around him and how danger it was for him to be anywhere near her and yet he hadnt given her any reason to believe that.

She looked up for a brief moment before looking right back to the ground. She never felt right when he stared at her. It was weird, but a good weird. He lookeed at her as if she were someone to be protected, like she was fragile, breakable...the way Jacob often stared at her.
Again her eyes trailed up to study him, only this time she caught a look she hadnt expected. A small but clearly visible smile. She bit her lip, tilting her head slightly so it formed a wall across her face. Se couldnt refrain herself from doing so, the smile he'd shown was possible the best she'd ever seen. Beautiful in every sense of the word, perfect and dazzling.

"I know. But he's my boyfriend not my watch dog. He cant stop me from walking. Its a free world." she commented, her voice slightly more stubborn than before. This time the two were side by side, a mere two feet from one another. She could grab hold of him if she wanted to.

She smiled a small smile, not expecting one in return but he gave that crooked smile of his "You wouldnt be able to keep from coming out here either." she muttered, biting the inside of her cheek.

"I'd still be out here even if I did listen. Like I said, its quiet here." she explained in a simple voice, watching as he effortlessly cleared the log. She almost gawked at him, shcoked at how graceful he seemed to move. She didnt think about her movement, she just went on walking as she had been doing the entire time. She moved her foot carefully onto the log, walking over it easily enough though after her feet touched the ground and she thought she was in the clear, she toppled over, sailing toward the ground.
Not getting much time to respond to him talking about his father. She was busy trying to think up the best way to fall, if she landed on her hands she would most likely fracture her wrist. It had happened before. If she fell the way she was at the moment, she'd land almost on her face...either way it didnt look good.

The concentration on her features, was in his opinion almost adorable, so much so that he couldn't help but smile, yet he smiled with his face turned away as he heard her speak moments later, it was no real surprise, that Bella didn't believe him, and that she would wish to question him further, but still his reply would remain the same.
I don't believe that...I- Why is it so dangerous? Edward shook his head why was she so curious, surely being that curious was just unnatural? "It's better if you don't know. Trust me." Edward commented although he didn't register the words he had spoken until it was too late something small, some part of him wished that Bella could trust him, that she should trust him, he didn't know why, he couldn't explain it, but the need was there, the trust he craved at that moment was from Bella herself.

As they walked on the silence stretched for a long moment before Bella finally spoke referring to earlier comments and questions, yet the way she sounded, even the way she looked said differently.
I know. But he's my boyfriend not my watch dog. He cant stop me from walking. Its a free world. watch dog? it was a fitting comment that suited one such as Jacob well. He wondered if she realized the meaning behind her words, fact was. Jacob was a watch dog. Frowning as he walked he thought about a suitable reply. Until he looked back over to her and then spoke, his tone soft yet layered with curiosity much like her own had been, moments before. "You don't seem happy." Edward commented, his tone simple his facial expression neutral.

Bella was closer now, so much closer that their arms very nearly brushed against one another. Yet Edward shifted once again placing a bit more of a distance between them. Whatever, connection or attraction they had, they both felt it, and it clearly wasn't safe for them really to be any closer then necessary. Yet as she smiled Edward could not help but return the smile, glancing sideways to her.
You wouldn't be able to keep from coming out here either. Was she really looking to test him? At that Edward did something he had not done in a very long, time. He chuckled. His laugh was shallow and husky almost. Looking to Bella briefly he smiled slightly then and shook his head she was certainly different. "I think I could probably stop you coming to the forest if I wanted to. " Edward admitted with a further impish smile now. As she continued to offer her reason as to why she still wouldn't listen, which he could see. She didn't strike him as someone who actually listened to anyone, he admired her for that, the sheer determination behind her decisions.

Just as he cleared the log, he turned around in time to see Bella suddenly go spiraling forward, Moving swiftly he reached out his hands and caught Bella, his cold hands caught her securing her firmly before she hit the floor, shifting her he lifted her up their chest in doing so brushed against one another, Bella was incredibly close to him this time her breath brushed against his cheek his own cool, sweet breath brushed against her neck. Looking to her his breath for a moment caught, and then quickend, he knew he had to let go, but the sudden urge to press his lips against her neck was overpowering, not only that, yet her lips. So warm and soft looking, the need to taste it's possible sweetness was also tempting. Lost in her eyes at that moment he couldn't move. Didn't want to almost.

Despite his constant warnings, she couldnt bring herself to believe that he was dangerous. And if he was, she doubted he was as dangerous as he made himself seem. She sighed as he dodged her questions, she just wanted an answer. A straight forward, honest answer. Not an answer that only left her with more questions to ask "Stop doing that." she spoke in a slightly annoyed voice "Dodging my questions." she sighed lightly, wondering if he knew how angry that made her or if he even cared.

Biting her lip, she listened to him comment on what she'd said about Jacob and thought carefully before she spoke "I am...Happy." she paused in between her sentence , noticing how close they were...until, of course, he moved away again "Jacob and I, we've been together for six years...we grew up together. Just, marriage is...I love him but marrying him is insane and I dont like the questions that come along with it...people look at me, see my ring...they think im just some pregnant teenager..."

She shook her head at his next comment, his laugh causing her thoughts to wander briefly. Like everything else about him, his laugh was perfect, brilliant "I dont think you could." she replied simply, smiling back at him.

Of course as she sailed toward the ground, her smile faded, still trying to figure out how she'd land. Seconds passed and yet she hadn't fallen. It wasn't until she felt his arms around her that she realized he'd caught her.
Her eyes traveled up, staring at him in slight surprise "I- t-thank you..." she stammered, moving slightly so that her hands were resting lightly on his arms. They were close, so very close...some might say a little too close for comfort but Bella didnt mind at all. Being this close to Edward was what she'd wanted since the two first met up in the forest.

It was in that moment, staring into his eyes that she saw the look again...she'd only ever seen it once before, Jacob. He always looked at her like that when they were close. A look of both worry and deep emotion -Worry because he feared he would hurt her, emotion because of the feelings he held for her-
Bella found her heart suddenly beating in a much faster rythm, her breath caught in her throat. She almost forgot how to breath Edward---" she began but stopped mid-sentence, unable to find her voice.

She shifted her body slightly, smiling a small and nervous smile...there was only one thing she prayed he wouldnt do, one thing she didnt want him to do...Dont move away... she thought, knowing it would be too much too much to wish for.

SStop doing that.

[/i] came Bella's sudden tone it was small, childish almost and it made him smile all that much more. Although she was annoyed that he could tell from her facial features and the tone of her voice. "Doing what?" Edward questioned as Bella then replied moments later.
Dodging my questions. Frowning softly Edward shook his head and raised his shoulders as he looked to her. "I'm not dodging your questions, I am still answering them." he added, as he continued walking, although he heard her sigh, and looking ahead a slow smile tilted the corner of his lips. She was angry and annoyed, glancing at her expression, once again he was caught by how utterly adorable and fragile she looked. Turning his attention ahead he continued on, his smile soon fading. Yet he couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking at that moment. She looked so deeply in thought, yet still all he heard was well. Nothing.

Later when Edward partly stated if she was happy, although he doubted she was all to keen with everything. He glanced to her and awaited her reply. Meanwhile as he did, he slowed his pace.
I am...Happy. Jacob and I, we've been together for six years...we grew up together. Just, marriage is...I love him but marrying him is insane and I don't like the questions that come along with it...people look at me, see my ring...they think I'm just some pregnant teenager... She soon admitted, and Edward frowned. No. She wasn't happy, nodding he thought for a long moment before he fell into step beside her and spoke softly for her ears alone, his tone was gentle, soothing almost. "So..you are happy with him, but not happy about marrying him? Does he know this?" Edward questioned clearly curious by such events. It certainly interested him to say the least. For long moments they talked as they wondered on until of course Bella's reply to a previous question raised. He detected the faint traces of a challenge, which let alone made him smile, his smile all but impish and playful. "No, I think I could. Trust me on that." Edward added looking to Bella, under his thick long lashes, he could most certainly stop her from going, not that he would however. There were other means that would prevent her from going anywhere.

Further moments passed until Bella tripped and until she fell, and until he caught her in his arms, the heat from her body radiated off of her, surrounding him, he found it hard to think, to concentrate, not when he was so close to her, and when every instinct of his body wished to bite her then and there, when thinking such a thing caused his eyes to dart towards her neck, only partly hidden by the curtain of hair, all he had to do was reach out..brush the hair aside and bite, and that warm crimson liquid would flow down his throat, cooling the fire that raged inside of him. One bite, would be all that it would take, and all those years of practice, would be gone, and the monster he had tamed would be unleashed once more. That was something he didn't want. Stepping back a fraction, although his hands still steadying her. He heard her breath thank you, and moments later his name, His eyes flickered up to meet hers instantly they were so very close the temptation surrounded him, consumed him. Although he tried to hide the emotion that shone in his black eyes at that moment it was next to impossible. Lust burned and the unexplainable desire burned in his dark depths, looking down however his eyes raked her body in attempts to distract his thoughts, his cravings. "Are you hurt?" He questioned softly bringing his eyes once again to meet her own, to which he was greeted with a small smile, one that did odd things to his dead heart, would it of been beating at that moment he knew it would of no doubt skipped a beat.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

"No, your not...your saying the same thing over and over again...thats not answering anything." She felt like stomping her feet, acting like a child. She wanted to whine and complain, she had every reason to do so "Why is it so dangerous for me to be near you?" she asked again, clearly not dropping this line of questioning until she got a straight answer.

She sucked in one side of her lip, causing her lower lip to be somewhat slanted. She hesitated slightly, not sure how to answer so she just shook her head. He was talking in a tone she'd not heard him speak in before. Incredibly soft, almost soothing...gentle, caring "I- I can't tell him I'm having second thoughts about marrying him. Besides, I love him..." she replied only to chuckle lightly at what he said next "Like I said...i'd find a way out here sooner or later..."
She didn't know if he'd been joking or not about stopping her from coming here but she was fairly certain that, with or without his permission, she'd still manage to...after all, he couldn't be with her twenty four hours a day, seven days a week "You cant be there all day, everyday."

As he held her, she noticed that he was cold. Not just cold but freezing. It was a big difference from Jacob, who thanks to the werewolf gene was always so warm...she often said he was like her very own sun but Edward...he was almost as cold as ice.
She blinked her eyes a few times, trying to rid herself of the sudden dizzy feeling that had overtaken her, tried desperately to catch her breath...or better yet, tried to steady her heart, which felt as if it was beating faster and faster the longer he held her. She could her him speaking, asking if she was hurt. She shook her head "No." she whispered, looking up at him. Her eyes searched his own for anything, any bit of emotion and it was there...he looked much calmer when his eyes weren't so dark as though he were hiding some big secret...he looked almost happy "I-I'm fine." she kept her words short, too distracted to form proper sentences.

She released a shakey breath, averting her gaze quickly. She looked down at her feet, closing her eyes to avoid any further gazing. She wasn't sure what was going on between the two of them but whatever it was, she didn't want to hurt Jacob...but she didn't want to let go of Edward either. Her hands moved lightly to Edward's arms, holding him lightly. Not wanting to let go.

They stood their motionless, lost in whatever it was that was happening at that current moment. What it was he couldn't say, he doubted he could barely even control himself, he didn't know how long he would last to stand this close to her, for any given amount without doing something. He felt her hands shift up his arm, to clasp them and hold them lightly. To close they were getting too close, Bella was getting to close already weaving herself within his mind, within his thoughts. As he looked to her, the look within her eyes said many things, yet, it was simply too much, she didn't want him to move away, his muscles tensed under her gentle hands, for a brief moment before he had no choice but to let go of her and increase the the distance between them, his breathing unsteady, fast even. Just what, was she doing to him? What if he simply couldn't control it? It was both a risk he wanted nothing more than to take, yet common sense, suggested that he should for both of their benefits. So stepping away from her hands, from her touch, he looked to her, studying her features as her comments from early replayed within his mind that he now decided to answer.

"I'm answering all that I need to answer, telling you what you need to know." he admitted with a soft smile, he couldn't afford to grow close again who knew what would happened the next time? He certainly didn't trust himself.
Why is it so dangerous for me to be near you? Bella then questioned and Edward shook his head, that was an answer she most defiantly didn't need to know. "It's of little importance, but I assure you, it's for the best. I'm not saying I don't want to be friends, I'm saying it's better if we weren't, and if you weren't comfortable around me. Edward admitted that was about all he could really say, all he wanted to say, and all she needed to know at least at this moment in time. Turning around he exhaled a long breath as he then continued walking on a few more strides. When he then remembered her early comments about Jacob. Thinking for a moment Edward continued. "I'm not saying that you do or so not love him, I'm stating that you are simply not happy with the obvious arrangements." Edward suggested as he glanced over his shoulder the rain was falling heavier now, still the cold didn't affect him..

As Edward recalled her previous comments about once more when he had stated that he could stop her he flashed a slow crooked smile once more and replied later now. His tone, held a hint of mystery, yet mixed with a layer of invitation. "I could be..if you wanted me to be, although it isn't a good idea." He stated looking back to her, as he slowed once again to wait for her. When she had soon caught up with him the two of them continued to walk on, however a sudden scent greeted him that caused him to stop within his tracks. Dog. He was close to the border, a meter further and he would of crossed the boundary line, His gaze flickered to Bella whom came up beside him. Thinking of how he would describe such a thing, he decided the truth was better at this point. "I can't go any further..I..My family are not allowed to go further, You have to go on your own now." Edward admitted and gestured ahead, he should of taken the other route of course, yet his mind had been to distracted with Bella to even register where it was they were heading.

"I um---" her voice broke the silence only to die down just seconds later. She couldn't bring herself to speak, to do so would destroy whatever it was they shared in this very moment. But it was too good to be true and as he moved away from her, she almost reached out to grab him once more but instead, she placed her hands deep into her pockets and looked down once more, completely avoiding his eyes.

"But your not telling me what I want to know...its a little unfair, dont you think?..." she spoke, biting hard on her lip "You ask questions, I answer. You get asked a question and you give half answers...its not really an answer if its only half." she raised her hands from her pockets to cross them over her chest, not walking as close to him as she had before. She keept a good two or three foot distance from him at all times. Clearly he didnt want to be near her so she'd give him all the space he needed.
"No, its just what you think is best...just because this is better for you if we dont be friends doesnt mean its whats better for me. You can't possibly know whats best for me. Considering this is the longest conversation we've had..." she wa sback to being annoying again, shaking her head slightly.

He brought up Jacob again and she couldn't help but think he was far too interested in this than he should be, still she answered him "I just...we're not old enough to be married. I-its insane." she shivered a bit, soaked right through her jacket and to her shirt. She was beyond cold now. Her hands were shaking.

AS he responded to her saying he couldnt be there all day, everyday, she looked up at him for just a second. The first time she looked at him since they'd gotten a little too close earlier. His answer, followed by that crooked smile of his, made her smile a bit as well "Even if I did want you to, you wouldnt anyway. No point in saying what I want, you'll just assume what I want isnt best for me..." she spoke in a slightly snappy, almost angry voice.

She stopped almost as soon as he did, listening to him as he stated he wasn't allowed any further. She looked at him, running a hand through her hair and nodded lightly "I- Thank you." she spoke, her voice though still very annoying was a bit softer now and she leaned in quickly, hoping he wouldnt have time to stop her. He wouldnt be expecting it. She moved close, just to kiss his cheek, not sure if this would be a wise idea or if it would be something that would turn into a mistake she'd later regret...or if it would hurt Jacob.

When he stopped having no choice but to, he turned to look at Bella, catching her eyes, as she approached him the fact he could go no further annoyed him, for at that moment he wished nothing more than to escort her, right to her front door, at least that way he would know that she was indeed safe. Yet so it would appear he simply couldn't and he doubted very much that Bella herself would even want that, what with the already complicated matter of the obvious attraction the two of them felt, there was just no point in even trying to deny it any longer.
But your not telling me what I want to know...its a little unfair, don't you think?...You ask questions, I answer. You get asked a question and you give half answers...its not really an answer if its only half. Bella questioned and Edward smiled softly, an amused smile playing across his lips "It's fair, I tell you what you only need to hear, you don't have to answer by questions, you choose to, I am simply choosing not to answer them fully, for your benefit as well as my own" Edward commented his tone simply and gentle all the while.

It was evident in her expression that she was not at all amused with him, but that was something she would simply have to deal with it, there was little he could do, and there was little else he was willing to tell her, the less she knew the better a chance at possible friendship they would have. When she continued moments later, the smile remained present on his lips, yes, she was certainly annoyed with him, but what more could he possibly do? Although she had a point about him not knowing her, time would only tell. Yet in truth he didn't have a reply for such a statement, at least not a reply she would understand. "And you don't know me, but believe me, when I say what I do." Edward stated as he flashed her a sudden serious look, would she believe him? he wished that she would leave it at least for now, what she would find, what she would discover would lead to nothing but trouble. Soon the topic shifted once again, although he would not deny it, but his interest did certainly peak. How could it not, and how could he warn her about them, then again what if she already knew?

I just...we're not old enough to be married. I-its insane. Edward shook his head and worded his sentence carefully "No, not really, when many years ago, others...like you and me, parents would of at our age chosen a future wife, or husband, and they would marry around 18 to 19 years of age." Edward stated idly as he remained where he stood, he couldn't move any further, not without starting a potential war. Then once again Bella continued snapping at his earlier comment he smiled softly, in a sad way almost. "There are so many things I wish to tell you, but I have the feeling you already know. The less you know Bella.. the better it is for everyone, And I am sorry, that I cannot tell you." Edward commented, with a gentle nod, hoping beyond hope that Bella would understand, at least part of it. Moment passed when they stopped and Bella thanked him, nodding lightly once more, he waited to at least watch her until she was completely out of his sight, yet what she did next surprised him. She lent forward, closer then he expected, he froze suddenly his whole body went stiff, his sense on even higher alert, he couldn't, the closeness, the sheer intimacy of it all, sent his instincts into over drive. Clenching his hands into tight fists, although a part of him wished that she would, another part he doubted could handle it.

I'M IN THE BUSINESS OF MISERY

I'M SORRY HONEY BUT I'M PASSING UP

"Stop that. Stop saying its for my benefit, stop acting like---" Her voice trailed off, realizing she'd lost her temper again. She sucked in her bottom lip, half glaring at him "And stop smiling! Its not funny, this is not funny!" she'd gotten fed up with him. His attitude was annoying, everything about him annoyed her, infuriated her. She hated how he acted like he was her friend one minute and then at school he treated her entirely different. If she hadn't been about to scream at him, she would have told him so. Would have said how he made her feel...how angry he made her, upset...no one, not Alice or Esme or Jacob could ever get her so mad.

"Why would I believe anything you say? You dont tell all of the truth...half of what you say could be lies..." she spoke in a voice that not only stated how angry she was, there was a hint of challenge in it as well...she wasn't afraid of him, she wouldn't back down. Not until she got the truth.

"Its a good thing I wasn't born back then...and dont put me in the same category as you. There is no 'like you and me'...there's a you and there's a me...big difference." she all but hissed at him, the urge to just punch him, hit him or to shove him away was all too tempting but he'd just walked her home, she couldn't be so rude or mean.
His next statement threw her for a loop. She already knew? What did she know?

Not having the energy to think about this much longer and not wanting to continue their argument any longer, she moved even closer, noticing -and not caring- how his hands clenched into fists, the skin on his knuckles so white and pale, it was ghostly. Still, she didn't back down, she pressed her soft lips to his cheek, almost gasping at how cold he was. She pulled away just as fast, biting her lip and looked up at him in confusion "I...Y-your...cold." was all she could manage to say before she heard footsteps heading their way. She sighed slightly, though still curious, she waved goodbye to Edward and crossed the boundary line "I'll see you tomorrow." she half smiled at Edward "Thanks...for walking me."

Still standing there moments away from the border line he looked to Bella who stood before him, his arms folded across his chest as he watched her, she certainly was annoyed with him, that much was obvious.
Stop that. Stop saying its for my benefit, stop acting like--- Bella begun to scold him, yet he simply smiled a fraction it was simply to amusing not to laugh at, but again she corrected him moments later, as she glared at him with a look of irritation and anger.
And stop smiling! Its not funny, this is not funny! Personally, he found it very funny, although he had been told so he tried his hardest to smother the sudden smile that threatened to creep onto his lips, and restrained, possible laughter. Still he looked to her, as she continued a moment later when she was at least a fraction more calmer. Or at least appeared to be calmer although he had a feeling she was silently steaming on the inside, saying nothing for the moment, he waited.

When she spoke about him telling her the half truth and how part of it could be lies, she was right of course, but he couldn't do anything about that, she would simply have to trust him.
Its a good thing I wasn't born back then...and don't put me in the same category as you. There is no 'like you and me'...there's a you and there's a me...big difference. Bella retorted when he mentioned about the old days. Frowning he now was growing most irritated and annoyed with her attitude, if she didn't like what he was telling her then she would simply have to deal with that. Shaking his head he glowered to her, his tone brisk and held a trace of annoyance. "You simply have to take my word for it, I could of easily not told you anything." Edward added sharply. She was difficult even if she didn't think so, she was proving just as difficult as he was, according to his family, perhaps that was why they simply manged to push each others buttons.

The silence stretched for a long moment where the two of them simply looked to one another. Until Bella then moved closer, this then caused the sudden reaction his hands balled into fists his expression cold and stiff his whole body alert he looked to her with questioning eyes, it was then he felt the sudden rush of warmth against his cheek where lips had touched his cheek, he almost pulled away sharply yet, managed to force himself to remain where he was.
I...Y-your...cold. Bella commented, Edward's expression remained neutral and he raised his shoulders faintly before he answered gently. "It's been raining. Bad circulation." He offered up as an excuse which he hoped she would believe, as she continued on, he watched her and nodded in response to her reply "I look forward to it." He admitted as he offered her a half smile, a crooked smile. When she was eventually out of sight, Edward turned around and headed back the way he came to continue with his hunting, yet on his mind, all he saw, all he could think about was Bella, he had never laughed, nor smiled as much as he had until today. What was it about her that drew him to her so much?
