It did.
As I lay in bed that night with the window thrown open in the hope of tempting some cool breeze to waft in, I couldn't help but remember the power with which he had crushed his lips to mine before I clambered out of his car that afternoon. It was as if it was going to take longer than one night before he would see me again. It was almost as if he was apologising for something.
My eyes closed momentarily of their own account as I remembered the way his icy fingers had clenched the material of my shirt, yanking me towards him. I couldn't help but shiver - in pleasure, not from his arctic touch - as his hands grazed the bared skin of my stomach, leaving a trail of goose bumps behind. How I had so desperately wanted to launch myself at him, to wrap myself around him and never let him leave me again.
But when you're sitting in the passenger seat of a Volvo with the gearstick digging into your left kidney it's uncomfortable to say the least.
"Tomorrow night," he had promised me, breathless, before he sped off down the road as the rain started to pour down.
For one second I felt like one of those damsels in distress from a soppy romantic movie. Her one true love has left her standing in the rain, waiting only for his safe return. Now love might have softened my heart a little, but not that much. I had to restrain from pulling a face at how pitiful I must look standing on the sidewalk in the pouring rain.
I finally gave up waiting for something to happen and headed inside, wringing out my dripping hair as I flipped through the mail on the doormat. Nothing of interest it seemed - a couple of bills, an invitation from one of Charlies workmates to come over to watch the footy on his new flat screen TV, as well as a coupon for dinner for two at The Lodge. Fascinating. I threw the papers on the kitchen table and trudged upstairs, knowing that after my shower I would have to clean up the muddy mess that my boots were leaving behind.
Turning on the hot water tap I waited the usual 3 minutes before the water turned lukewarm to warm to very warm to hot. I didn't bother with the cold tap as the water never reached excruciating temperatures at my house. The hot water soothed me a little, and relaxed me enough to distract my thoughts from Edward momentarily to make some plans for tonight. I knew that unless my mind was elsewhere I was never going to be able to rest tonight. I let my mind drift back to the conversation I had had with him at lunch before he had turned my mind to goo with his... there I go again.
The library. That had been my plan before...
I shook my head as I turned off the tap and slowly dried myself off. The library was good. The library was safe. By the time I had gotten downstairs Charlie had resumed his usual position in front of the television. He had a bowl of chips in front of him and he was spooning them into his mouth like he was dying of hunger.
"Where's Edward?" he asked, a suspicious look on his face like he expected Edward to be hiding upstairs in my room.
"God knows," I replied truthfully, but realised that this may sound a little harsh.
"Camping with his family again, I mean." I added quickly.
"Camping again, eh? What do you suppose they do out there? Hunt? Carlisle doesn't strike me as the mounted-deers-head-on-the-wall type," Charlie mumbled, his eyes still glued to the screen.
"He's not!" I answered quickly. Too quickly. Charlie turned his head to glare at me.
"No need to shout. Well I tell you what, it wouldn't have been too bad if they'd taken out some of those wolves we had a problem with that year eh?" he chortled to himself before stuffing his mouth with more potato chips. I had to fight the urge to run from the room and instead grabbed my bag and headed for the door before he could ask me why I didn't find his hilarious joke funny.
"I'm off to the library. I won't be home too late," I said before rushing out the door letting it slam shut behind me. I climbed into my truck and sped off (well, in my truck that meant doing 50) down the road. The drive to the library only took 10 minutes but because my mind had drifted I missed the turn off and had to go around the long way. When I finally got there it was twilight. I knew that the library stayed open much later this time of year because a lot of kids were studying for end of year papers and assignments. I slowly pulled myself up the steps towards the giant glass doors that held a sign that read 'Welcome to the world of knowledge.' How corny.
The library was not packed (which was not unusual) but there were a few groups of teenagers in different areas of the library some of them typing away furiously on computers and others absorbed in mountains of books. A few groups had gathered around the centre table obviously in a group study session.
I recognized a few of the faces as Jessica, Angela and Ben. Then I saw someone else crouched over the table with them a thick book in his hands. Jacob. He spied me hiding behind a bookshelf and excused himself, walking towards me almost as if he was stalking his prey. I immediately pretended that I was completely absorbed in the first book I spied which turned out to be (rather embarrassingly) a book called 'Vampires: The Legend and the History of the Demon Drinkers.' Oh crap.
"Hey Bells," Jacob drawled, sauntering over to the armchair where I had seated myself in a hurry and squashing himself in the small space between me and the side of the chair (which was about 10 inches at the most).
"Ow!" I grumbled. "When I'm already in a shitty mood I don't take to being sat on kindly!" I snapped as I shoved him onto the floor where he landed with grace and crossed his legs, looking up at me expectantly. I pretended to ignore him and continued reading my book but it seemed Jacob did not take to being ignored kindly, either.
"B-ella, Be-lla, Bel-la, Bell-a!" he chanted. I realised then that there was no way I was going to be able to unwind at the library either. Not with Jacob here.
"Hey I was looking for that book!" he suddenly cried, yanking the book out of my hands and tearing it open his eyes now glued to the tiny print. I knew he was only doing this to annoy me, especially when he started reading the passages in his own words.
"Wow. Did you know that vampires are known for violently killing their human girlfriends? What are the odds of that? I mean, really. Oh and look at this! It says here that vampires were also known for keeping a vital organ from their most loved victim, sort of like a trophy of their kill. Delicious."
I groaned inwardly. Jacob was seriously getting on my nerves and I would have jumped up and ran out of there except I didn't have anywhere else to go.
"Speaking of bloodsuckers... where's yours?" he asked me suddenly. He must have noticed my uneasiness as he seemed to answer his own question.
"Hunting, of course. Sorry," he said and he seemed for a moment to be contemplating asking me something else. It was then that I realised I would be better off trapped in my thoughts at home than trapped here with Jacob for any longer.
"Sorry Jake, I've got to go. I've got assessments and stuff and so much to get ready for tomorrow. See you soon?" I blurted as I gathered my bag and hoisted myself up from the cushy armchair.
"Sure, sure. I recognise a hint when I hear one, Bells!" he smiled at me and walked me to the door. "I'm staying here a little while longer myself. Got to prepare myself for some school tests and that stuff. I passed my French by the way. 95%. Billy is proud of me," he boasted as he handed me my jacket.
"As am I, Jake. Well done and thanks, but I really have to be going now."
"When is he coming back?" I heard his voice behind me as the electric whir of the automatic doors unleashed an unholy howl of wind in from outside, blowing my hair over my face and causing shivers to wrack my body.
"What!" I cried over the howl of the wind.
"Edward. When is he coming back?" he called again. I was halfway down the stone stairs now, running towards my truck which I knew would be only marginally warmer than it was outside.
"Don't know, Jake! Soon, I hope! I've really got to go now!" I screamed into the wind as I climbed into the driver's side of my truck and let out a whoosh of warm air as the door slammed shut behind me and the deafening noise of the wind quieted down by a fraction. I heard Jacob yell something else out to me that sounded like "I need to ask you something" but I couldn't be sure and there was no way in hell I was going to get out of this truck again.
I glanced in the rear-view mirror and saw him standing on the stone steps, a russet blur through the pummelling rain. Sighing, I pulled slowly away from the car park and down the main road, not questioning for a moment how Jacob was going to get home as I had not seen his bike anywhere near the library.
*~*~*~*
The moment I got home Charlie was waiting for me on the couch.
"That boy called just then, he did," he mumbled. I noticed that his bowl of chips was empty and sitting next to him on the floor but he had a new bowl on his stomach filled with peanuts.
I knew that Charlie referred to Edward as 'that boy' because he didn't want to make it seem like he approved of the handsome young man who had romanced his innocent little girl. But I knew that no matter how much he tried to dislike Edward, it was impossible. Nobody could hate a boy with such a beautiful face, such wonderful manners and such gentlemanly charms. I knew that was what being a vampire made you -irresistible. And Charlie did like Edward. He just didn't want to give in and admit it anytime soon.
"Really?" Edward never called during a hunting trip. He was 'in the zone' the whole time and was more animal than human at that time as his instincts took control for the entire hunt until his thirst was completely sated and he was away from the temptations of the wildlife.
"Yes. I said something about coming back early because they got lucky and there were plenty of good spots nearer to the house this time. I don't know how good camping spots can just appear though..." he trailed off, giving me his professional I-don't-know-what-you're-up-to-but-I'll-find-out looks that he usually saved for wrongdoers and street kids that he arrested.
"Yeah. Um, that's good that he's coming back early though. I miss him." I said, not bothering to cover up the truth anymore.
"It's only been one day, Bella. You can't possibly miss him that much." He shook his head in a disbelieving fashion. An ad came on TV and he motioned for me to sit next to him.
"Tell me Bella, how do you really feel about him?" I was shocked at his outburst of parental concern. Usually he just let me get on with my life while he got on with his and I had never suspected that one day he would reach out to me through Edward.
I took a hesitant seat next to him, not sure if I was comfortable talking about this with him. But then, I thought 'what the hell?' He's going to find out some way or another right? It might as well be from me.
"I - I love him Dad. I've never felt this way about anyone before. When he's near me I feel so safe, so protected. I feel like I can do anything as long as he is with me. When he's gone - well I feel vulnerable. And I feel a little pointless at times. It's like he's the other half of me and when he's not here I'm just... kind of ripped in two you know? I'm not whole again until we're together. It sounds stupid but this is what I think love is. Really."
"What love is, huh? I wish I knew what love was when I met your mother. Maybe we could have worked it out if I'd known. But as for you and Edward... I just don't know. You can't be dependent only on him, love. He's a boy. He'll do things that he'll regret - that you'll regret. I don't want to see my baby get hurt because she is head-over-heels in love with a boy. Now I'm not saying I don't trust him but I just want to know that you see where I'm coming from.¡¨ He took my hand in his.
"I know, Dad. And I need you to know that I trust him with my life. I love him so much that words couldn't even comprehend...¡¨
"Bella I do have to ask you one thing, though. Well I know that you and Edward have been seeing each other for a while and I want you to be aware of the fact that if there is anything either of you want to ask me - about anything - I'm here to listen and help."
He was using his cop voice now and I could tell he was getting a little uncomfortable. We both also knew that I would never be telling him any aspect of my sex life.
"Just know that I trust you, and I trust Edward. I know that you're both good kids - great kids - and I know that you'll do what's right." The TV show had resumed and I knew that there was no point continuing this conversation.
Excusing myself I ran upstairs, knowing that Edward would be there. I almost felt empowered now that I knew Charlie approved of my relationship with Edward.
Sure enough, the moment I walked into my room two strong, cold arms wrapped themselves around me and one pair of full icy lips descended on mine. My arms were pinned to my sides and I struggled to release them so that I could tangle them in his hair. I was surprised when he did let me go for a moment - to let me breathe, I assumed - before lifting me up and throwing me down on the bed. The wind was knocked out of me and I gasped, but Edward was soon crawling up to bed towards me. His hands grabbed fistfuls of my hair as his mouth crushed to mine again with an almost painful force. I whimpered as his cold body hovered over mine before he released most of his weight from his elbows so his body was resting on top of mine. He was heavy, and he was cold, and his weight knocked the air out of me again.
