Candlelight
Edward
The conversation with Emmett the day after my night with Bella didn’t help much. Even that was the understatement of the century, if I was being honest. I was just as confused about the whole Bella situation as I had been before I talked to him, except now there was the danger of the rest of the gang finding out about all that had ( Read more... )

The Action Plan
Bella
Alice was driving me crazy with all the stops she was making as we walked through the mall. Jasper joined us after we left Rose ad Emmett in the food court and I shot him disgruntled looks every 30 seconds or so, amazed to no end at how he was able to put up with her when she was in her shopping frenzy. He just kept softly ( Read more... )

Mix and match
Rosalie
I didn’t know why Alice insisted with such force that we all wake up at the break of dawn, but I guessed it had something to do with Bella sneaking in the house after spending the night at Edward’s again. Sure, Bella thought she was being meticulously inconspicuous and definitely wasn’t aware of Emmett and Edward having talked ( Read more... )

Remember to forget

Bella

I tiptoed out of Edward’s room and into the kitchen, leaning against the fridge door, trying to cool my forehead a little. My face was flushed and I knew my cheeks were bright crimson from the heat flooding my body and the reaction to the memories flashing through my mind like a 3-D movie. Edward’s lips on mine, his hands ( Read more... )

Do you realize

Emmett

“Emmett? Are you there?” Edward’s voice sounded raspy and slightly panicky.

“Yeah, sure,” I answered him.

“Can you call over to my place?” he seemed a little bit sleepy.

“Give me the address,” I listened as he gave me directions and finished the call quickly.

Typically, I ran into Alice on the way down the stairs.

“Where are you off ( Read more... )

( You're my only reason to stay... alive... )

A night to remember

Edward

“Would you like a cup of coffee?” I deliberately slurred the words a little.

Bella threw me a mildly surprised glance, which I figured was supposed to mean that she didn’t want to spend time with me and I should be able to see that. The thing was, I did guess that, but at that point I was beginning to need her company and I ( Read more... )

No Regrets
Rosalie
Jasper talked me into taking a walk home before the others left and I didn’t mind so much, since it meant that I wouldn’t be subjected to McCarthy’s driving. There were so many things that he annoyed me with, but his driving was one of my biggest pet peeves. That’s why I never even let him drive me anywhere back in Forks. It was ( Read more... )

Suddenly I see
Bella
“Bella, get dressed,” Alice yelled from the hallway, “We’re going out.”

My eyes opened and I tore myself out of the daydream I was in for the last few hours. A week had passed since my night with Edward and I was quite convinced that he didn’t remember anything that happened. He’d been strangely quiet, though, but that wasn’t so ( Read more... )

Blur
Edward

There were painkillers on my bedside table when I woke up, though once again, I had no idea how they got there. I wondered if Rose and Bella had to bring me home like the last time, but everything in my head was clouded by pain. The taste of tequila lingered in my mouth and I quickly reached for the glass of water to wash at least a ( Read more... )
