After Edward refused to turn me into a vampire, we went back inside and danced a few more dances. I was exhausted.
"Edward, can we go now?" I whispered, my head resting on his shoulder as we swayed to the music. I was still grouchy from being dragged to prom, but dancing with Edward and Jacob with my clunky cast wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Billy's warning had me worried. I tried not to show my concern in front of Jacob, but "We'll be watching" is kind of cryptic.
"Come outside with me, Bella," Edward whispered as he grabbed my hand and pulled me through the doors. "Are you not having fun?" he murmured.
"Yes," I replied. "I am. But unlike you, I need to sleep." Edward chuckled quietly. He grabbed me in his muscular arms and kissed me. I let go of my worries and returned his embrace. I hobbled over to Edward's car and he helped me into my seat. The drive to my house was quiet. Edward kept his frosty hands entwined with my warm ones the entire ride, like he was afraid I would slip away. As we pulled up to my house, Edward told me to leave my window unlocked. He would join me in my room as soon as Charlie thought I was asleep.
"Ch-Dad! I'm home!" I said, almost calling him Charlie again. I hoped he was asleep. He came into the foyer, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"How was it, Bella?" he asked.
"It was really fun, but I'm beat. I'm going to go to bed." He agreed, and we headed for our bedrooms. I took a fast shower and brushed my teeth. I then pulled on my ratty, holey sweatpants, and a wrinkled tank top, again cursing myself for not bringing the silk pajamas from my mother's house in Phoenix. Oh well, I thought. I walked into my room as two cold hands grasped my shoulders. I stifled a shriek until I realized it was just Edward. He gestured towards my bed, and he laid down under the covers. I climbed in after him and set my head on his chest.
"I've changed my mind," he said. "I will change you. Tomorrow."
"Really?" I replied. "You better not be joking, Edward Cullen."
"I'm not joking," he whispered. "I love you, Bella."
"I love you too."
"Edward, can we go now?" I whispered, my head resting on his shoulder as we swayed to the music.
