TWILIGHT - chapter 14 - MIND OVER MATTER


I worked to make my tread sound slow and tired as I walked up the stairs to my room. I shut the door loud enough for him to hear, and then sprinted on my tiptoes to the window. I drew it open and leaned out into the night. My eyes scanned the darkness, the impenetrable shadows of the trees.
"Edward?" I whispered, feeling completely idiotic.
The quiet, laughing response came from behind me. "Yes?"
I whirled, one and flying to my throat in surprise.
He lay, smiling hugely, across my bed, his hands behind his head, his feet dangling off the end, the picture of ease.
"Oh!" I breathed, sinking unsteadily to the floor.
"I'm sorry." He pressed his lips together, trying to hide his amusement.
"Just give me a một phút to restart my heart."
He sat up slowly, so as not to startle me again. Then he leaned phía trước, chuyển tiếp and reached out with his long arms to pick me up, gripping the tops of my arms like I was a toddler. He sat me on the giường beside him.
"Why don't bạn sit with me," he suggested, putting a cold hand on mine. "How's the heart?"
"You tell me - I'm sure bạn hear it beter than I do."
I felt his quiet laughter shake the bed.
We sat there for a moment in silence, both listening to my heartbeat slow. I thought about having Edward in my room, with my father in the house.
"Can I have a một phút to be human?" I asked.
"Certainly." He gestured with one hand that I should proceed.
"Stay," I said, trying to look severe.
"Yes, ma'am." And he made a hiển thị of becoming a statue on the edge of my bed.
I hopped up, grabbing my pajamas from off the floor, my bag of toiletries off the desk. I left the light off and slipped out, closing the door.
I could hear the sound from the TV rising up the stairs. I banged the bathroom door loudly, so Charlie wouldn't come up to bother me.
I meant to hurry. I brushed my teeth fiercely, trying to be thorough and speedy, removing all traces of lasagna. But the hot water of the vòi hoa sen couldn't be rushed. It unknoted the muscles in my back, calmed my pulse. The familiar smell of my shampoo made me feel like I might be the same person I had been this morning. I tried not to think of Edward, sitting in my room, waiting, because then I had to start all over with the calming process. Finally, I couldn't delay anymore. I shut off the water, toweling hastily, rushing again. I pulled on my holey t-shirt and gray sweatpants. Too late to regret not packing the Victoria's Secret silk pajamas my mother got me two birthdays ago, which still had the tag on them in a drawer somewhere back home.
I rubbed the towel through my hair again, and then yanked the brush through it quickly. I threw the towel in the hamper, flung my brush and toothpaste into my bag. Then I dashed down the stairs so Charlie could see that I was in my pajamas, with wet hair.
"'Night, Dad."
"'Night, Bella." He did look startled bởi my appearance. Maybe that would keep him from checking on me tonight.
I took the stairs two at a time, trying to be quiet, and flew into my room, closing the door tightly behind me.
Edward hadn't moved a fraction of an inch, a carving of Adonis perched on my faded quilt. I smiled, and his lips twitched, a statue coming to life.
His eyes appraised me, taking in the damp hair, the tattered shirt. He raised one eyebrow. "Nice."
I grimaced.
"No, it looks good on you."
"Thanks," I whispered. I went back to his side, sitting cross-legged beside him. I looked at the lines in the wooden floor.
"What was all that for?"
"Charlie thinks I'm sneaking out."
"Oh." He contemplated that. "Why?" As if he couldn't know Carlie's mind much thêm clearly than I could guess.
"Apparently, I look a little overexcited."
He lifted my chin, examining my face.
"You look very warm, actually."
He bent his face slowly to mine, laying his cool cheek against my skin. I held perfectly still.
"Mmmmmm...," he breathed.
It was very difficult, while he was touching me, to frame a coherent question. It took me a một phút of scattered concentration to begin.
"It seems to be... much easier for you, to be close to me."
"Does it seem that way to you?" he murmured, his mose gliding to the corner of my jaw. I felt his hand, lighter than a moth's wing, brishing ym damp hair back, so that his lips could touch the hollow beneath me ear.
"Much, much easier," I said, trying to exhale.
"Hmm."
"So I was wondering...," I began again, but his fingers were slowly tracing my collarbone, and I Mất tích my train of thought.
"Yes?" he breathed.
"Why is that," my voice shook, embarrassing me, "do bạn think?"
I felt the tremor of his breath on my neck as he laughed. "Mind over matter."
I pulled back; as I moved, he froze - and I could no long hear the sound of his breathing.
We stared cautiously at each other for another moment, and then, as his clenched jaw gradually relaxed, his expression became puzzled.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No - the opposite. You're driving me crazy," I explained.
He considered that briefly, and when he spoke, he sounded pleased. "Really?" A triumphant smile slowly lit his face.
"Would bạn like a round of applause?" I asked sarcastically.
He grinned.
"I'm just pleasantly surprised," he clarified. "In the last hundred years hoặc so," his voice was teasing, "I never imagined anything like this. I didn't believe I would ever find someone I wanted to be with... in another way than my brothers and sisters. And then to find, even though it's all new to me, that I'm good at it... at being with you..."
"You're good at everything," I pointed out.
He shrugged, allowing that, and we both laughed in whispers.
"But how can it be so easy now?" I pressed. "This afternoon..."
"It's not easy," he sighed. "But this afternoon, I was still... undecided. I am sorry about that, it was unforgivable for me to behave so."
"Not unforgivable," I disagreed.
"Thank you." He smiled. "You see," he comtinued, looking down now, "I wasn't sure if I was strong enough...." He picked up one of my hands and pressed it lightly to his face. "And while there was still that possibility that I might be... overcome" - he breathed in the scent at my wrist - "I was... suspectible. Until I made up my mind that I was strong enough, that there was no possibility at all that I would... that I ever could..."
I'd never seen him struggle so hard for words. It was so... human.
"So there's no possibility now?"
"Mind over matter," he repeated, smiling, his teeth bright even in the darkness.
"Wow, that was easy," I said.
He threw back his head and laughed, quietly as a whisper, but still exuberantly.
"Easy for you!" he amended, touching my nose with his fingertip.
And then his face was abruptly serious.
"I'm trying," he whispered, his voice pained. "If it gets to be... to much, I'm fairly sure I'll be able to leave."
I scowled. I didn't like the talk of leaving. "And it will be harder tomorrow," he continued. "I've had the scent of bạn in my head all day, and I've grown amazingly desensitized. If I'm away from bạn for any length of time, I'll have to start over again. Not quite from scratch, though, I think."
"Don't go away, then," I responded, unable to hide the longing in my voice.
"That Luật sư đấu trí me," he replied, his face relaxing into a gentle smile. "Bring on the shackles - I'm your prisoner." But his long hands formed manacles around my wrists as he spoke. He laughed his quiet, musical laugh. He'd laughed thêm tonight than I'd ever heard in all the time I'd spent with him.
"You seem more... optimistic than usual," I observed. "I haven't seen bạn like this before."
"Isn't it supposed to be like this?" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between đọc about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?"
"Very different," I agreed. "More forceful than I'd imagined."
"For example" - his words flowed swiftly now, I had to concemtrate to catch it all - "the emotion of jealousy. I've read about it a hundred thousand times, seen actors portray it in a thousand different plays and movies. I believed I understood that one pretty clearly. But it shocked me...." He grimaced. "Do bạn remember the ngày that Mike asked bạn to the dance?"
I nodded, though I remembered that ngày for a different reason. "The ngày bạn started talking to me again."
"I was surprised bởi the flare of resentment, almost fury, that I felt - I didn't recognize what it was at first. I was even thêm aggrivated than usual that I couldn't know what bạn were thinking, why bạn refused him. Was it simply for your friend's sake? Was there someone else? I knew I had no right to care either way. I tried not to care.
"And then the line started forming," he chuckled. I scowled in the darkness.
"I waited, unreasonably anxious to hear what bạn would say to them, to watch your expressions. I couldn't deny the relief I felt, watching the annoyance on your face. But I couldn't be sure.
"That was the first night I came here. I wrestled all night, while watching bạn sleep, with the chasm between what I knew was right, moral, ethical, and what I wanted. I knew that if I continued to ignore bạn as I should, hoặc if I left for a few years, till bạn were gone, that someday bạn would say yes to Mike, hoặc someone like him. It made me angry.
"And then," he whispered, "as bạn were sleeping, bạn đã đưa ý kiến my name. bạn spoke so clearly, at first I thought you'd woken. But bạn rolled over restlessly and mumbled my name once more, and sighed. The feeling that coursed through me then was unnerving, staggering. And I knew I couldn't ignore bạn any longer." He was silent for a moment, probably listening to the suddenly uneven pounding of my heart.
"But jealousy... it's a strange thing. So much thêm powerful than I would have thought. And irritational! Just now, when Charlie asked bạn about that vile Mike Newton..." He shook his head angrily.
"I should have known you'd be listening," I groaned.
"Of course."
"That made bạn jealous, though, really?"
"I'm new at this; you're resurrecting the human in me, and everything feels stronger because it's fresh."
"But honestly," I teased. "for that to bother you, after I have to hear that Rosalie - Rosalie, the incarnation of pure beauty Rosalie - was meant for you. Emmett hoặc no Emmett, how can I compete with that?"
"There's no competition." His teeth gleamed. He drew my trapped hands around his back, holding me to his chest. I kept as still as I could, even breathing with caution.
"I know there's no competition," I mumbled into his cold skin. "That's the problem."
"Of course Rosalie is beautiful in her way, but even if she wasn't like a sister to me, even if Emmett didn't belong with her, she could never have one tenth, no, one hundredth of the attraction bạn hold for me." He was serious now, thoughtful. "For almost ninety years I've walked among my kind, and yours... all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because bạn weren't alive yet."
"It hardly seems fair," I whispered, my face still resting on his chest, listening to his breath come and go. "I haven't had to wait at all. Why should I get off so easily?"
"You're right," he agreed with amusement. "I should make this harder for you, definitely." He freed one of his hands, released my wrist, only to gether it carefully into his other hand. He stroked my wet hair softly, from the hàng đầu, đầu trang of my head to my waist. "You only have to risk your life every một giây bạn spend with me, that's surely not much. bạn only have to turn your back on nature, on humanity... what's that worth?"
"Very little - I don't feel deprived of anything."
"Not yet." And his voice was abruptly full of ancient grief.
I tried to pull back, to look at his face, but his hand locked my wrists in an unbreakable hold.
"What - " I started to ask, when his body became alert. I froze, but he suddenly released my hands, and disappeared. I narrowly avoided falling on my face.
"Lie down!" he hissed. I couldn't tell where he spoke from in the darkness.
I rolled under my quilt, balling up on my side, te way I usually slept. I heard the door crazk open, as Charlie peeked in to make sure I was where I was supposed to be. I breathed evenly, exaggerating the movement.

Jacob shoved the last slice of pizza, bánh pizza into his mouth as I laughed at a very lame joke he’d told about vampires.

‘A vampire returns trang chủ after a night of feeding with his face covered in blood. His fellow ma cà rồng gather around him excitedly and ask if he’d had a good night feeding because of all the blood.
“Where did bạn get it?” asked one.
“I’ll hiển thị you,” the vampire said, morphing into his bat form. The others morphed and followed him. They were flying over mountains and lakes and then the vampire stops and points down.
“Do bạn see that tree?” he asked them, pointing at...

-Bella, bạn seem really worried. I told you… Charlie’s going to calm down!

He didn’t know the other thing that I was worried about. Charlie Had been very angry these past days and I knew it was for ignoring Jacob. He didn’t know what happened the last time I was hanging out with Jacob and I was very grateful that Edward couldn’t read my mind. But he still could read Jacob’s! But, the best part was that Edward was very angry toward Jacob that he wouldn’t waste his time and brain to read Jacob’s mind. And that was comforting!

Suddenly, I heard someone moved from the door.
“Who’s there?” I asked nervously.
I waited but no one was there. I looked back at the ceiling when out of the blue, I smelled something. A werewolf.
Jacob.
I recognized him quickly.
“Jake?” I asked.

But I will only change her under one condition... if she marry me. It makes me feel humored looking at her thinking and thinking about it. I was getting the impression that Bella wanted immortality thêm than me. This thought saddened me. But I held back the thought, hoping that she loved me as much as I did. Did she tình yêu me less because I left her?
