    Nessie PovI looked up at the love of my life and smiled widely; he

    brought our entwined hands to his lips and kissed all of my

    fingers. The small amount of blood that did pump around my

    body, rushed to my cheeks. Jake chuckled wholeheartedly,

    making me look at my Prada shoes; forced onto me by Auntie

    Alice, his gentle hand turned my chin up to look at him.

    You dont have to hide from me, Ness. I giggled lightly,

    pecked his cheek and carried on walking. We walked in to

    the woods, where Jake had first told me he loved me. An

    image of Edward and Jake side-by-side flickered through

    my mind.

    Thatll never happen Ness. He said and a growl racked

    through his chest.

    It might! If you just try, I pleaded sadly.

    Ill try when he does! he spat at me.

    It was just a thought! I whispered.

    Then wipe those stupid thoughts from your mind!

    So now Im stupid? I snapped angrily.

    No...I just...well... I didnt... I didnt mean it like that Ness,

    and you know it.

    Why did you say it then?

    Well because you were being stupid! He bellowed his arms

    began to very slightly vibrate.

    I was being STUPID?! Why am I stupid?! His arms shaking

    more.

    Because you think we can all live in harmony!We can! I roared.

    Ness... run! He roared his voice breaking.

    Im not going to leave the love of my life! For fucks sake! I

    LOVE YOU!

    FUCKING RUN THEN! He shouted before he shifted, and

    pushed me into darkness.

    JPOV

    I just killed the love of my life, her beautiful bloody body

    lying on the forest floor; her beautiful face buried in the

    dirt and leaves thatd dropped onto the forest floor, in

    shreds no one would be able to recognise her. My heartbroke at the thought of what Id just done.

    Im so sorry, Edward! Im sorry! Tell Bella Im sorry and that

    I love her. Im near yourmeadow! Just come quickly, please.

    As soon as I finished the thought, I did the worst thing

    possible; I bolted leaving the only girl Id ever love in a pool

    of her own blood. My four legs ran through the dark forest,

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    3/113

    I ran further and further away, but I knew no matter how

    far Id run Id never be able to forget the roar of anger,

    and heartbroken sob that I heard; from the mouths of the

    two most loving parents.

    EPOV

    My world, my heart, my beautiful wife was broken. She was

    currently sat on my lap and sobbing tearlessly into my chest.

    I rocked her back and forth trying to stay strong for her,when I felt like breaking down to. Carlisle walked in his face

    solemn after burying our dead, mangled daughter.

    Im so sorry Bella. He said as he rubbed her back gently;

    she nodded against my chest, and sucked in an unnecessary

    breath; she rose from my lap and walked silently up the

    stairs. We all watched her go but her face, her empty eyes,

    stayed the same. I rose to follow her but I hear a soft

    voice from behind me.

    Let me Edward, I know what shes going through. Esme

    patted my hand before following Bella upstairs.

    BPOV

    Im going to kill him for what he did to her! To both of

    them! Rosalie hissed venomously.

    I second that! He cant get away with what he did to my

    little sister and niece! Emmett joined in.

    Well leave now then! Go pack Em,I tuned out; I didnt

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    4/113

    want to hear how they were planning on killing my ex-best

    friend. A soft knock on the door alerted me to Esmes

    arrival.

    Its open. I whispered sadly.

    Oh Bella, she cooed as she pulled me into a tight, loving

    embrace.

    It hurts so much Esme,

    I know sweetie but with time it gets better; I promise. I

    nodded against her shoulder.How long before it does get better? I whispered.

    A long time, but youve got forever.

    Ive got all that time to remember her. I sobbed into her

    chest.

    Why dont you go and have a nice hot bath? And by the

    time youre out Edward and Alice will have brought someblood back for you. She smiled, and stroked my hair away

    from my face.

    We all love you, dont forget that. She stepped out of my

    room and closed the door with a gentle click. I walked into

    our en-suite bathroom and started to run a big bubble bath.

    I then walked out locked the bedroom door, stripped slowlyand then locked the bathroom door, and started lighting

    some scented candles. I climbed into the big Victorian tub

    and tried to relax, to forget everything; but I was angry at

    everything and everyone. I stormed out of the bath and

    smashed the big mirror.

    Bella! Open the door! I heard Carlisle shout as I picked up

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    5/113

    a shard of glass and ran it fiercely over my wrist.

    Ah, I gasped as animal blood poured from the cut. I then

    heard a massive crash and I knew that someone had barged

    the door down.

    Bella! Babe, open the door! Please for me! I heard Edward

    shout from outside the bathroom door. At no reply I heard

    him take a step back and the next thing I know the door

    was in pieces around me.

    Oh my God, was his broken whisper. Shes naked andbleeding. I heard him whisper again, if I was human I

    wouldnt have heard him at all. He wrapped a large black

    towel around my naked body and motioned for Carlisle to

    come in.

    Bella, how long have you been bleeding? He asked, no

    longer my father in law but as a doctor. I shrugged.A couple of minutes, I whimpered as the blood continued

    to pour out. He disappeared and a second later reappeared

    with a first aid kit. He opened the kit and pulled out a pair

    of scissors, a bandage and some antiseptic wipes. He

    cleaned the cut and then wrapped the bandage before the

    cut could start bleeding heavily again.Why?! Why would you do that?! Edward fumed.

    Im sorry Edward, I mumbled pathetically.

    Ive lost you once, Bella. You think I want to lose you

    twice?

    Im sorry. I just miss her so much, I wailed tears forming

    in my eyes.

    6/113

    You think I dont? I stiffened in his arms, only just

    properly realizing hed lost his daughter and had thought

    hed almost lost his wife.

    Oh Edward, Im so sorry. I said as I wrapped my arms

    around his neck and forced a kiss onto his soft lips. He

    rubbed my back as he started to kiss me back. He gently

    lifted me from the cold bathroom floor, trying to keep the

    towel in place as he rose, our family dispersed out of the

    room as he placed me on the bed.Try and rest; Ill go and get the blood I got for you but

    then Ill be right back. Ok? I nodded and smiled as he

    looked at me before he left. I steadily walked to our

    wardrobe and pulled on some grey sweats and a baggy

    London sweatshirt. I sat back on the bed, and pulled out my

    sleek phone; bought by Edward as he hated my old one asmuch as hed hated my truck.

    Hey Bells, how are you sweetie?

    Oh, daddy! I cried sadly.

    Bella whatswrong?Charlie asked alarmed. Has he hurt

    you? He asked, outraged.

    Shes gone! I sobbed tearlessly again.Who has Bells?

    Daddy can I come round?

    Of course Bells, Ill see you in a couple of minutes. I hung

    up the phone and slid it into my bedside table drawer. I

    heard Edward slowly making his way up the stairs, alerting

    me to his presence; I hurried to the window climbed onto

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    7/113

    the closest tree, and threw up my shield so he wouldnt be

    able to track me.

    Charlie POV

    Of course Bells, Ill see you in a couple of minutes. I put

    the phone back on the hook, and ran back into the living

    room. I threw a blanket over the couch, picked up the pizza

    boxes and chucked them into the bin. I opened the curtains

    slightly and saw Bella walking up the drive. I threw open thefront door and opened my arms ready for a hug. She ran up

    the porch steps and straight into my arms.

    Whats wrong, sweetie? I asked as I stroked her hair

    away from her face that was buried into by shoulder.

    Shes gone! She sobbed as I gently pulled her into the

    lounge.Who has Bells? I asked pulling her from my arms to try

    and get her attention.

    Nessie! She wailed as I stiffened.

    Well we can send out a search party for her. I smiled

    when I was panicking inside.

    No shes properly gone! My beautiful daughter sobbed as Ipaced in front of her.

    Well we could still find her! I said determined.

    DAD! My daughter is dead! She shouted and then began

    crying again. I stilled and looked at my daughter, sat down

    next to her and cried silently.

    How? I asked, my voice croaked.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    8/113

    A wolf. Last night. My Bella had changed, so much so that

    I didnt know when she was lying anymore.

    Right, I said as I rose to go and get my gun. Bell, who

    obviously knew what I was doing, interrupted me.

    He... its already dead. Emmett shot it. She stated flatly.

    Right, I sighed as I sat back down.

    What am I going to do daddy? Bella asked helplessly.

    You could always try for another one, I suggested, but in

    the back of my mind I knew that wouldnt happen. I saw outof the corner of my eye that Bella was nodding. The phone

    startled me back into reality; I answered it slowly willing

    that the station didnt need me.

    Charlie! Bellas gone an-...

    Shes here. I interrupted.

    Oh thank god. I heard Edward say. Illbe right over. Ihung the phone up to see Bella unravelling a bandage.

    What happened? I asked worriedly.

    I just tripped and had a nasty cut. She smiled weakly.

    Ok then. I said unconvinced; I heard Bella give a faint

    gasp as she looked down at her wrist.

    Whats wrong? Is there a scar?No, theres nothing. She stated as she ran her thumb over

    her pale wrist. Im just going to the toilet. She smiled

    sadly and rose. A slow knock on the door alerted me to

    Edwardss presence. I opened it and stared directly into his

    amber eyes.

    Lets step outside for a minute, shall we Edward? I asked

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    9/113

    rhetorically, making him step back onto the porch.

    I dont know what youve done to my daughter; and the way

    you just stiffened means obviously youve done something.

    But if you dont get her another kid soon, not as a

    replacement but as something for Bella, I will personally cut

    your balls off and feed them to the dogs at the station,

    ok? Edward gulped and nodded.

    Good, glad thats sorted out. I opened the door again and

    led him into the longue.

    BPOV

    The scar I was hoping for, to remind me of Nessie, wasnt

    there. There was nothing to even hint Id cut myself.Id

    just excused myself from the longue to go to the bathroom;

    and was currently listening to the speech my dad was givingto Edward. Sad at knowing that Edward would never be able

    to give me another child; I pulled the knife out of my

    sweatshirt pocket, one that Id nicked from Charlies

    kitchen while he was on the phone to Edward; and ran it

    across my wrist again. I quickly re-bandaged it when I heard

    Edward say to Charlie that he was coming to check up onme. I quickly wiped knife clean and stashed it in my pocket.

    Bella, I know what youre doing so just come out now!

    Edward hissed angrily; I opened the door and looked up at

    him with my big onyx eyes.

    What am I doing Edward? I asked innocently.

    Cuttingyour wrist again? Edwards stated starting to

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    10/113

    doubt himself. He breathed in deeply and stiffened.

    You were werent you? I looked down and nodded my head

    slightly.

    Bella! He growled, but Im sure if her could have hed have

    screamed, shouted, bellowed. Whatever, hed have made his

    anger known.

    There was no scar Edward, I just wanted to... you know...

    make sure.

    What Bella? Make sure what? That you were doing itright? He stopped as he saw me nod again. He wrapped me

    into a hug and kissed the top of my head.

    Shall we just forget it? I asked quietly. I felt him nod

    again and sigh deeply. I untangled myself from his strong

    arms and padded down stairs

    You okay Bells? Charlie asked worriedly, I looked up at himwith big eyes and nodded.

    Were gonna head off now Charlie. Edward intervened; he

    smiled and walked back to the Volvo.

    Youre always welcome here Bella. Remember that. I

    nodded and kissed his cheek before joining Edward.

    EPOV

    We drove back to our house in silence, Bella looking at the

    pouring rain outside.

    Bella? Sweetie are you ok?She looked at me and nodded

    slightly. The thing with Bella not being able to blush

    anymore was that I couldnt always tell when she was lying.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    11/113

    As I pulled up to the house, Bellas shield dropped for a

    quick second; but it was long enough for me to hear her

    current thought.

    Need to find him. Need to ask him. I frowned trying to

    understand what it meant; as soon as I touched the gear

    stick about to put the car in park, Bella was flying into the

    house. I quickly parked the car, locked it and followed her

    into the house. She ran upstairs, I followed her and saw her

    turn into Carlisles study; I was tuning into theirconversation when his thought pounded into my head.

    Edward! Privacy! Please! My father scolded angrily. I

    sighed dejected and padded back downstairs.

    CPOV

    Bella flew into my study without even knocking, my headwhipped up in surprise.

    Hello Bella, I smiled, I could her Edward currently

    hovering outside my door.Edward! Privacy! Please! I

    scolded angry that hed thought it was ok to eavesdrop.

    What can I do for you Bella? I asked concerned at her

    scared and haunted eyes.Its gone, she whispered. I frowned in confusion; thinking

    she was still talking about Ness.

    I know, I said sadly, Bella looked up at me confused.

    You know? her eyebrows were knitted together in

    confusion.

    Well of course, I buried her. I stated slowly.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    12/113

    No! I mean about the scar I should have, Bella said looking

    down at her wrist, and ran her thumb over it gently.

    Oh! Thatll be because when the venom detects and injury,

    without you being headless or burning, it starts to heal it.

    Oh, she mumbled sadly; I leaned forward, resting my

    elbows on the edge of the dark mahogany wood desk.

    Bella, why do you want a scar so badly?

    To remember her, I breathed in deeply, surprised by her

    answer.So you want to remember her with something that caused

    you pain? Not when you saw her first steps, or when she

    called your name, or when she would climb into bed with you

    and Edward and just ask you both to hold her? Bella, if you

    can only remember her because of a scar, I pity you. Bella

    sat in the chair opposite, mouth agape in shock, tears in hereyes as I walked out, and closed the door gently behind me.

    Edward met me on the stairs and glared at me as we heard

    Bellas broken sobs rack through the silent house. I looked

    down, feeling guilty for making my daughter cry.

    Good job, Dad. Edward muttered as he passed me.

    EPOV

    I hesitantly opened the door of the study, to see Bella

    curled into a ball on a big brown leather chair and rocking

    slowly.

    Bella? I asked I approached the chair hoping I wouldnt

    frighten her. I picked her up slowly and placed her on my lap

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    13/113

    as she whimpered helplessly.

    I want to gohunting, Edward She whispered so quietly I

    had to strain to hear her.

    Ok, Ill sort everything out and then we can go. She

    nodded against my chest; I gently pushed her up so I could

    guide her to the forest outside our house (a different one

    to where Ness died.) When we passed Carlisle on the stair,

    Bella flinched into my side. Carlisle looked down at the silver

    stairs, ashamed at himself.Im sorry Edward.He thought to me as I passed. When we

    got outside Bella ran elegantly after an elk, not her

    favourite but fast enough to keep her busy. I ran in the

    opposite direction, hearing the fast sound of a mountain

    lions heart. I leapt onto the scared creature, and sunk my

    venom coated teeth into its furry throat. Its furious roarsturned into nearly silent mewls as I drained its limp body. I

    kicked the empty carcass under a big oak tree, where itd

    be hidden by its shadow. I followed the honey, freesia, lilac,

    lavender and cooked bread smell of Bella. I flew into a

    bubbling river and stared down at my wet feet and trousers;

    I climbed onto the sloped bank on the other side and triedto trace her scent. I cursed loudly, and punched a tree, at

    my recklessness. Id gone and lost my wife.

    BPOV

    I heard Edward curse loudly and then a deafening crack. Id

    only run because I was cramped, I had that feeling that

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    14/113

    everywhere I went me as being watched observed. Checked

    on. My clothes were dry now from running so fast, I knew

    though that Id run far enough that he wouldnt be able to

    track me for a while. I stopped when I felt water trickle

    down my back; I looked up confused, and saw blindingly

    clean snow. I checked around and saw the town Id run into

    was deserted at the moment, seeing a sign a few metres

    back I jogged leisurely over to it. I gaped at the blue and

    white sign; I checked my watch.Ladies and gentlemen, I, Bella Swan, had run to Alaska in

    under an hour; and Edward told me he used a car! Id have

    to race him, when I returned. I felt my phone vibrate in my

    jean pocket; I pulled it out and read the text from Edward.

    Where are you love? Ill come and get you. XXX E

    I quickly typed out my reply.I love you, Ill be back soon. XXXX Your Bella

    I turned off my phone knowing Edward would start calling

    soon, I know that Edward would worry even more now; but I

    didnt want to hear the sorrow in his voice if I answered. I

    walked slowly through the town until I saw a four star hotel,

    it was painted black making it stand out in the fresh, cleansnow. I walked into the large building, and looked around; it

    had large black and white marble pillars up to the high

    beamed ceilings. There were large dark red chairs and sofas

    in one corner of the room; with a ceiling high bookcase that

    had a ladder attached to them so you could reach the books

    at the top. I smiled to myself, the Cullen instinct had

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    15/113

    obviously wormed its way into my body. I must thank Alice.

    I walked over to a man that was tapping furiously at the

    computer set in front of him; he looked up at me and smiled

    kindly as I approached. I gasped, the man stood in front of

    me had bright gold eyes; the same as me.

    How can I help you, Madame? He asked politely in a

    French accent.

    I...erm... I... I need a room, please. Under the name Mrs

    Black please. I stuttered still shocked.How much and how long? He asked looking down at his

    computer; I took my black and red purse out of my pocket,

    I had about twenty thousand dollars in cash and about four

    hundred and seventy thousand dollars on my card, but you

    can track cards; which I knew Edward would probably be

    doing.Three or four thousand dollars? For about two to maybe

    five nights? I asked my statement coming out as a

    question. He nodded and typed at his sleek computer. He

    passed me a green card that had my room number on it in

    white numbers; I murmured my thanks as I walked to my

    room. I slid the card into the small slot near the doorhandle, which flashed a green light, letting me in. I took a

    quick shower, trying to let all my worries disappear with the

    water that was gurgling down the plug. I sighed and stepped

    out of the water which was now going cold. I wrapped a

    large bathrobe around my pale body and a smaller white

    towel around my now black hair. I looked at the digital clock

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    16/113

    on the bedside table and sighed, it was only four oclock. I

    dressed in the same clothes realizing I would need to go

    shopping soon, and walked out of my room with the key and

    my purse; Id purposely left my phone in the room so I

    wouldnt be tempted to turn it back on and call Edward. As

    I was slipping my purse into my pocket I accidentally walked

    into a giggling couple.

    Oh my god, Im so sorry! I said, the red eyed couple

    nodded their understanding and walked around my shockedstatue. I pulled myself together, walked into the stunning

    reception and waved a not-doing-anything- staff member

    over to me.

    How may I be of assistance, Madam? He asked seriously,

    his gold eyes shimmering in the intense light.

    What is this place? I asked looking around the room tosee more Vampires pottering about.

    This, Madam, is the Crepuscule hotel. Crepuscule means

    Twilight in French Madam and Twilight is, as you probably

    know, the safest time for our kind. I stared at him blankly,

    hoping the look on my face would encourage him to say more.

    He sighed slightly annoyed.It is basically a Vampire hotel, Madam. I opened my mouth

    to ask him another question, but he was already making his

    way to another couple who were also looking slightly

    perplexed. I made my way over to the helpful French

    receptionist, he grinned at me widely.

    Wheres the nearest tattoo place? I asked quietly.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    17/113

    About two minutes away. Just turn left at the end of this

    street, its called the Midnight Eclipse. He smiled at me

    again; I nodded my thanks and slid him a ten dollar tip. I ran

    through the deserted streets to Midnight Eclipse, just as I

    turned to open the door I ran into, none other than Tanya!

    She scowled at me straight away then smirked realizing

    that I must be heading in.

    Getting something done Bella? She smirked and raised a

    perfectly plucked eyebrow.Just a tattoo, what about you? I asked politely when in

    fact wanted to slap her.

    Oh I didnt know Edward liked tattoos now, hed always told

    me hed hated them. I just got a piercing. I scanned her

    body quickly and saw no new marks.

    Well Edward will like this one. I cant see any knewpiercings Tanya, is it somewhere kinky? I smirked at her

    expression, and walked into Midnight Eclipse. I walked over

    to the guy who was doodling idly on a piece of paper, his

    ears pierced so much it was more metal than flesh.

    Hi, Id like a tattoo please. I said chirpily, the guy looked

    at me amusement shining brightly in his eyes.Youve come to the right place then. He smirked cheekily,

    he handed me a form to fill in about my change and if there

    had been any problems. I took it back to him, and he pointed

    me to the door I should go through to wait for the guy

    whod do my tattoo. I opened the door, and pounced on the

    guy whose teeth were hovering over a small womans neck,

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    18/113

    who was shaking in fear.

    STOP! I roared, and threw him away from the woman who

    was whimpering helplessly. I glared at the man who was

    sneering at me from the corner, and then led the woman to

    the door.

    WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! SHE WAS MINE! he roared

    back, in a strong Texan accent, when I returned.

    SHES HUMAN! IN MY PRESENCE YOU WONT BE

    DRINKING FROM HUMANS! I bellowed; the guy seethedquietly as I took a seat on the bed.

    What would you like? he spat at me venomously.

    Id like 22/7/ 1995 in fancy writing, and then 14/2/2012

    underneath it. Renesmee on my wrist, and a small red heart

    underneath her name. The guy started moving around as I

    talked, he placed two pots of black and red ink on the tablenext to the bed. He glared at me as he sat down, and then

    pulled on a pair of white gloves.

    This will hardly hurt, you cant touch it for a couple of

    hours but then you should be ok. He said as he slid the

    stool, hed be sitting on, closer to me. I nodded and lay back

    on the bed, thinking of Edwards face when hed see my newtattoo. Of course hed be angry at first, hed always droned

    on about how I should respect my body and leave it be,

    plain, white and cold, the way he liked it. Then hed realise

    how important it was to me and get one matching. I opened

    my eyes from my day dream, to see the guy switching ink

    pots. All he had to do now was the little red heart. I stared

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    19/113

    at the numbers that were now permanently etched into my

    skin. I started thinking about my family back in Forks and

    then cursed myself for forgetting about Alice. I quickly let

    my shield up, and sighed in relief knowing I must be safe,

    and reminded myself not to let it down; ever again.

    Youre wife is a clever bitch, I said frustrated that Id

    almost had her, when she must have remembered me. Thenangry that itd taken her this long. Edward smiled from the

    couch, the first smile hed cracked since shed gone.

    I... I...I dont know what to do now Edward. Im sorry. I

    whispered as I pulled my brother into a tight hug. My

    beautiful husband walked into the room, and smiled at me

    feeling the effect hed just had one me; I stuck my tongueout at him as he winked knowing that that made me want

    him more. I released Edward and walked over to him, and

    wrapped my small arms around his waist. He rubbed my back

    soothingly.

    I could try and follow her scent, if youd like Edward.

    Jasper said. Edward looked up at Jasper and smiled sadly;which was his way of saying yes. Jasper nodded at him,

    placed a hungry kiss on my lips and flew out of the door.

    JPOV

    I flew out of the door and into the forest where theyd

    been hunting before Bella had run off. I jumped over the

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    20/113

    river and ran north, after about ten minutes of running I

    caught Bellas scent. I stilled and let my instincts kick in. I

    ran into a small town in Alaska. I carried on following it until

    I realised I was in a large hotel. I walked over to the large

    reception desk.

    Hello, Im looking for Bella Cullen. I smiled at the gold

    eyed vampire. I then realised I must have walked into the

    vampire hotel. The vamp typed on his sleek computer and

    shook his head at me.Im sorry sir we dont have a Miss Cullen here. I thought

    to myself, Bella always used Cullen; she adored being

    married to Edward and always introduced herself as Mrs

    Cullen.

    Ok then. Maybe a Miss Swan. The guy typed on his

    computer.A Miss Swan also isnt here. I hissed at the vamp, and

    leaned over the desk, and made his emotion fear more

    prominent.

    Listen. My wife is in here. I hissed, thinking that was the

    only way he was ever going to give me her key.

    Im sorry; sir, but we dont have either of those names.The French accented vamp apologized.

    Ok, well shes got large gold eyes and mahogany hair, which

    almost looks black. Slightly on the thin side, full lips and a

    gorgeous smile. Checked in a couple of days ago; she wont

    have spent much. I glared at him as I described Bella,

    recognition flew across his face.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    21/113

    You mean Mrs Black? I nodded Bella was smart; using the

    last name of a man she now completely despised. The French

    vamp fumbled around the desk and then withdrew a green

    card.

    Go down this hall, he said as he indicated with his hands.

    Her room is number 547. I nodded my head at him in

    thanks. I walked into Bellas room and made my way to the

    chair, which was placed in the corner of the room. This

    room practically screamed Bella, plain but oozing elegance. Iheard Bella swipe her card, so she could get into the room,

    she was staring intently at her wrist as she walked in. She

    threw her key card on the side board that rested near the

    door. I smirked at her, realizing she still hadnt noticed I

    was here. Bella looked up at me.

    Oh fuck. She said simply. She turned ready to fly throughthe door; but I was faster, I was stood in front of the door

    before shed even finished turning.

    Going somewhere Bells? I smirked again, she opened her

    mouth ready to answer back to me when she sighed in

    defeat; and plopped onto the large bed. I sat down next to

    her and pulled her into a large hug.Im sorry Jazz. She whispered into my chest.

    Its ok Bells; we just wantto know why you ran. I soothed

    and let every emotion she had pour into my body.

    Everyone was watching me, I felt like I had no privacy; and

    Carlisle, the disappointment I got off Carlisle was awful. I

    nodded and released her from my hug

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    22/113

    Do you want to stay any longer or can we go home? I asked

    slowly.

    Can we stay a little longer? Theres a guy I need to talk to.

    I nodded again and got up off the bed.

    Im going to buy a guitar, you stay here. Remember Bells I

    am the best tracker in the family so Ill know where to find

    you. I threatened, Bella gulped and nodded. I walked out of

    the room with a big smile; I pulled my phone out and rang

    Edward, he answered immediately.Have you found her?

    Hi, toyou too, Im fine thanks for asking, how are you? I

    asked sarcastically.

    Jazz! Edward growled angrily.

    Yes Edward, Ive found her.

    Thank god, when do you think youll arrive?Arrive? I asked genuinely perplexed.

    Yeah, what time will you be back?

    Oh. Bella wants to stay a little longer Edward. She feels

    cramped back home. Ill get her to call you; but I swear if

    youre angry at her Ill kill you.

    Thanks Jazz. He sighed before he hung up. I walked overto the French receptionist.

    If you let Mrs Black out of this hotel I will chop youre

    balls off, got it? He nodded eyes wide in terror.

    Good, Ill be back in about half an hour.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    23/113

    BPOV

    I turned on my mobile and then switched it back off when I

    saw I had 284 missed calls and 1738 texts. I sighed and

    realised Jazz hadnt specified where I stay; I could go out

    of the room, just not the hotel presumably. I opened my

    room door and scanned the long corridor, not seeing anyone

    I crept out of my room. I walked into the grand reception

    area when I heard someone calling my name. I turned to see

    the French receptionist hurrying over to me.Madame Ive been given strict instructions not to let you

    out of the hotel. He said worriedly, wringing his hands on

    his smart black jacket.

    I just want to stand outside in the snow. I smiled trying to

    dazzle him; but trying to dazzle a vampire is harder than

    trying to dazzle a human.Im sorry Madam but I cant allow it. I ignored him and

    walked over to the entrance of the large hotel; when I was

    tackled from behind. I was then flung over a shoulder of a

    large muscled vampire. I kicked the guy hard repeatedly but

    it didnt affect him, I sighed and started to struggle on his

    shoulder.Might as well give in, honey. A gruff voice told me.

    Im not that kind of woman. I snapped at him, he chuckled

    throatily, and slapped my ass. I stopped struggling, shocked

    at what hed done before I started screaming loudly. He

    then ran quickly into my room, and tied me into the chair

    that Jazz had been sitting on when I first saw him. I

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    24/113

    huffed at the man angrily.

    I hate you; and I expect a refund! I screamed loudly. The

    next moment the door swung open revealing Jazz, with a

    white guitar on his back, and a large amused smirk on his

    face.

    JPOV

    Mr Black! I heard as I walked into the hotel with my new

    guitar hanging on my back. I kept walking and then turnedaround realising the vamp meant me. The French

    receptionist was hurrying towards me.

    Yes? I asked impolitely.

    Mr Black... weve had aslight problem with your wife. I

    frowned, then realised he meant Bella.

    Youdidnt let her go did you? I growled at theinsufferable man.

    No... No shes still here.

    Then what is it?

    She wanted to leave and... Well now shes tied up in your

    room sir. With a security guard to make sure she doesnt

    escape. I smiled imagining a feisty Bella tied up with aguard.

    Thank you. The vamp nodded and then scurried back to his

    desk. I ran back to the room in a flash and opened the door

    to Bella who was currently demanding a refund. I waved the

    security guard off who winked at Bella as he left. I smirked

    in amusement as she glared at me unhappily.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    25/113

    I told you to stay put Bells. I smiled as I untied her,

    trying not to laugh at her face.

    I wanted to stand in the snow! I think better in the snow!

    She huffed angrily. I crouched so I could untie her feet

    which were slightly red from the kicking shed probably

    done. I turned around and removed my guitar and propped it

    against the wall. Bella growled from behind me, and then was

    on my back. I stood shocked as she tried to wrestle me to

    the ground.Its quite disconcerting, isnt it? She snarled by my ear.

    Game on, I thought to myself. I shook her off; and

    crouched into a protective stance, then raised my eyebrow

    at her. She growled at me angrily then slid into her own

    stance; which was her right leg stretched out, her left leg

    folded into her chest and then her two hands keeping hersteady on the floor. It was a pretty good stance, keeping

    the essential parts of her body protected.

    I left because I needed space Jazz.

    Ill give you space, I just need to be with you or know

    where youll be. I said as I slowly approached her.

    Thats not space. She growled and came at me.You have a point, but I care about you Bells. We all do. I

    said as I knocked her left leg from under her, causing her

    to topple over onto her back.

    I know you do but I still need space, why do you go hunting

    without Alice sometimes? She taunted me as she jumped

    back up and threw a punch at my chest, which threw me into

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    26/113

    a wooden table. I growled at her, dismissing her point.

    Thats not the point. I said as I recovered, letting

    thousands of techniques run through my mind.

    Yes it is. You need to get away from Ali, and I need to get

    away from all of you sometimes. I growled at her, and leapt

    ready to jump onto her; she saw me leap and rolled to her

    left making me land on the bed. Bella climbed onto my chest,

    using all her weight to try and keep me pinned to the bed.

    I love Ali, but I never feel I need to get away from her. Isaid as I flipped us over so I was sat on her stomach.

    Yes you do. Otherwise you would go shopping with her all

    the time. She huffed, struggling to roll me over. I pinned

    her hands above her head in one of my large hands.

    Im not stupid Bella. You think Id only have one closet if I

    went shopping with her every time? I smiled and placed myteeth, which were glistening with venom, over her jugular.

    I win. I whispered.

    Can you teach me that? She asked hoarsely, as I climbed

    off her. I smiled at her, as she readjusted her top, and

    nodded at her.

    BPOV

    I smiled at Jazz as he sat in the chair with a book.

    Im going to talk to that man now. I said after Id re-

    adjusted my clothes and brushed my hair. Jazz stood up but

    immediately sat back down at my glare.

    Where will I find you if you dont come back in two hours?

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    27/113

    I smiled at him and walked out of the room.

    Stay put Jazz. I smiled as I heard him laugh at me; taking

    the piss of him. I glared at the security guard and

    receptionist who were having a discussion at the reception

    desk; the security guard winked at me again and chuckled

    loudly when I flipped him off. I walked back to the tattoo

    parlour and asked to see James, they guy whod done my

    Nessie tattoo.

    Hey Bella, he smiled at me.Hey James do you think you could do me a massive favour?

    He smiled and nodded.

    Do you think you could come back to Forks with me?

    Wow... erm... when? he asked, obviously shocked at my

    question.

    Wellits Thursday today, and I need to leave tomorrow Imuttered to myself. Tomorrow afternoon, around fourish?

    I asked.

    Can I think about it? I nodded instantly.

    Of course but if you could text me as soon as possible with

    your answer. My number is 07320946634. I reeled off,

    hugged him and left. I walked back to the hotel practicallyskipping; I looked down at my wrist in reminder of Ness and

    felt myself smile knowing shed be happy for me. I thanked

    the doorman and walked straight to my room; I opened the

    door and saw Jazz in the exact same place. I giggled lightly

    and told Jazz he could move.

    You know you need to ring Edward. Jazz whispered; I

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    28/113

    looked down at my feet trying to avoid his persuasive eyes.

    Come on Bells, hes really worried about you. I sighed in

    defeat and pulled my phone out. I turned it on, greeted with

    the alert of my missed calls and messages flashing on

    screen. I rang Edward, he picked up instantly.

    Oh my god Bella! Are you ok? I smiled; and tears formed

    in my eyes hearing his voice made me miss home.

    Im fine, Im ok. Jazz is looking after me. How are you?

    Im ok Bella, better now after hearing your voice. Is Jasperwith you? I saw Jazz shaking his head from the corner of

    my eye.

    No,hes... out. I finished lamely.

    Then... BELLA WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!

    Jazz ripped the phone away from me as I flung myself onto

    the bed and sobbed. Id understood his anger, but I thoughthed be so happy to hear my voice that he wouldnt care.

    JPOV

    I ripped the phone out of Bellas hand and stormed out the

    room.

    Bella? Edward asked, his voice was gentle again.WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT EDWARD? I screamed at

    him, I heard a few doors open down the corridor.

    Jasper? I heard him question, I could almost feel his

    queasiness through the phone.

    Yeah its Jasper. I seethed.

    Wheres Bella? he questioned.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    29/113

    On her bed crying; good job by the way.

    Oh God. He said; I could practically see him running his

    hands through his hair.

    Yeah,Oh God you know Edward I think she was going to

    come home tomorrow with a surprise for you. He blew out a

    breath and began to speak.

    Forget it, Ive got to go and soothe Bella. I hung up and

    walked back into our room and slammed the door loudly. I

    walked over to Bella who was curled into a ball on the bed.Hey, I soothed trying to even out her emotions.

    H-h-h-h-he was s-s-s-so an-an-ang-angry. Bella sobbed

    out.

    Yeah he was, but I dealt with him. I smiled at her as I

    picked her up and slid her into the king sized bed. I ordered

    some animal blood for us from room service, and opened thedoor so they could get in without either of us having to get

    out of the bed.

    Are we going home tomorrow? I asked Bella, whose head

    was resting against my chest and her eyes closed. There

    was a hesitant knock on the door, and a small woman

    wheeled in two large jugs of animal blood.Thank you, I and Bella said in unison. The small woman

    nodded and then flew out of the room.

    I think so, Bella said, answering my previous question her

    eyes still closed.

    Jazz?

    Yeah Bellie?

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    30/113

    Will you protect me from him? She asked timidly.

    I think you can protect yourself, but yeah I will. I felt her

    smile against my chest and whisper a faint thank you.

    So I was thinking Bellie, maybe we could build a training

    area; just for the two of us. I heard her gasp.

    You like that idea?

    Yeah, and to make sure the others cant get in we could

    have, like, a hand thing that scans your hand to let you in. I

    smiled and poured us both a glass of blood.Yeah or one for the eyes. I smiled.

    Nah, we all have the same colour eyes. I laughed at her

    silliness.

    It doesnt work like that Bells.

    Well the Mr-I-Know-Everything how does it work? She

    laughed, challenging me.It scans your retina or something like that,

    See! You dont even know properly! Bella giggled, and then

    I realised me and Bella were going to be best friends. We

    talked into the hours of Friday morning, before Bella

    decided shed go and have a shower at mid day. I heard her

    turn the shower on, and then sigh delicately as she steppedin; and started singing Happy Ending by Mika.

    BPOV

    I stepped out of the shower, and wrapped a large towel

    around me. I crept out of the bathroom and saw Jazz

    sitting on the bed.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    31/113

    Can I use the bathroom now? he asked, knowing Id get

    changed while he was in the shower. I nodded at him and

    then realized I hadnt gone shopping, so I had no clothes.

    Jazz? I asked timidly, just before he went into the

    bathroom.

    YeahBellie?

    Would you go and get me some clothes, please? Jazz

    laughed, kissed my forehead and nodded.

    What sizes?A 34 C bra please, size 6 panties and jeans and size 8 top

    please. I said looking down, knowing if I could Id be

    blushing bright red. Jazz coughed clearly uncomfortable

    and hurried out the door. I walked over to a large white

    dressing table, and started to blow dry my hair. After about

    twenty minutes Jazz returned with a large white bag, hesmiled kindly at me threw the bag on the bed and ran into

    the bathroom. I opened the bag hesitant to see what hed

    bought me, I pulled out the dark red and black bra and put

    it on quickly and then stopped as I realized hed bought me

    a matching thong. I growled his name and heard him laugh

    from inside the bathroom.Sorry Bellie; couldnt resist it. He laughed, not sounding

    the least sorry. I growled again and tugged them on

    underneath the towel; I rummaged through the bag again

    and found some black skinny jeans which I loved instantly,

    and a red turtle neck shirt. I sat back at the dressing table,

    and started to curl my dark hair. Jazz walked out of the

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    32/113

    bathroom, a prominent smirk on his face, with a towel

    wrapped around his hips.

    I hate you, I snarled at him; he took one look at my face

    and burst out laughing.

    But you look great Bellie.

    Whatever. I smiled as I flipped him off. He laughed and

    pulled out some boxers from the bag. He then got dressed

    in the clothes hed worn for the past three days. I checked

    my phone and saw I had a new text from an unknownnumber.

    Will meet you outside your hotel at half three

    Jamesx

    I smiled and text him a thank you, and then started

    throwing mine and Jazzs dirty clothes, his old boxers, into

    the white bag. We ordered some more animal blood and thendecided to check out at two thirty. We walked into

    reception area, talking animatedly to each other.

    Wed like to check out please. I smiled to the new

    receptionist.

    Of course, Madame, under what name please?

    Mrs Black. I said to the young vampire, who must havebeen changed in his early twenties. He clicked away on the

    computer and smiled up at us.

    OK, well Ill need your keys and its five thousand dollars

    thank you.

    I opened my purse, as Jazz slid the cards to the man, and

    withdrew the correct amount. I was about to slide it over to

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    33/113

    him when Jazz placed his hand on my arm.

    Why dont we split it? He asked me.

    Jazz, you werent even here the full days.

    No, but I used the bed and the bathroom and all the other

    things. I huffed knowing hed be stubborn on the matter.

    Fine. I placed two thousand and five hundred dollars back

    in my purse, as Jazz withdrew it from his black wallet. He

    shifted the white guitar than hung on his back as he placed

    his wallet back into his back pocket. We walked into thelibrary area, and sat on two large arm chairs that were

    opposite from each other.

    Ok lets play twenty questions, and you HAVE to answer

    them. Jazz said, almost bouncing in his seat.

    Ok. I said hesitantly and then started to laugh at his

    excited expression.Ok who was your first kiss?

    Edward, I replied instantly. Whats your favourite

    colour?

    Brown, whats your favourite animal? Obviously thinking

    not to hunt, I replied.

    Tiger,whats your favourite season?Autumn, whats your favourite time of day? Jazz smiled as

    I considered it.

    Quartz, whats your favourite song?Jazz asked.

    Eiffel tower, wheres your favourite place?Jazz got a

    Hail, how long did it take for you to learn the guitar? I

    asked.

    Honeymoon, favourite letter? I asked, and shrugged whenJazz cocked his eyebrow at me.

    B, what did you want to be when you were a kid?

    Teacher of disabled kids, favouriteplace youve lived? I

    asked hoping hed reveal a bit about the Cullen past.

    Forks or Texas, best smell in the world?

    trying to keep it a secret.

    To be an artist, favourite place to swim?

    Bahamas, you wish you lived in?

    London, left or right?

    Right, candles or the sun? Jazz smiled.

    Candles, want to have an insert name as an animal?Jazz

    chuckled loudly at my question, making other guests tut at

    him.Horse, wish you could play the?

    Guitar, favourite TV show?

    Ill teach you if you like and Friends, favourite sport? I

    smiled and nodded at Jazzs kind offer.

    Swimming, favourite flower?

    Rose, favourite Cullen?Twenty questions up and time to go. I smiled as he glared

    at me, as I rose from the chair. I walked out the hotel and

    saw James leaning on a black Mercedes.

    Whos that? Jazz asked from next to me.

    James, hes doing me a favour. I smiled and went over to

    hug him.

    JPOV

    I followed behind Bella and introduced myself to James.

    Im Jasper Whitlock, I said and held out my hand for him

    to shake.

    THE Jasper Whitlock, he asked in a Texan accent. I

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    36/113

    stiffened then nodded.

    Probably. I let go of his hand and Bella looked up at me

    questioningly. I then realised shed forgotten about my

    scars.

    I was a legend back in Texas, one of the best at fighting,

    training and killing vampires. I reminded her softly; she

    stiffened and then relaxed when I sent waves of calm over

    her. I looked deep into her eyes and saw a pool of trouble; I

    sent sleepiness over her hoping shed conk out long enoughto forget about everything thatd happened. I continued to

    stare at her, then realising what I was doing she started to

    fight me, but I kept pounding the waves over her. She

    glared at me just before her heavy eye lids closed, and she

    fell into my arms.

    Oh my god is she ok? James spit out quickly, lookingaround.

    Shes fine, shes just tired. I said as I swept her into my

    arms bridal style.

    Vampires dont get tired. James said slowly as if I was

    going mad.

    I gave her a little help. I shifted Bella so I was holdingher in one arm, shrugged off my guitar and handed it to

    James; and then gave him the white bag. I re-adjusted Bella

    in my arms so shed be comfortable, as I continued to send

    the sleep waves over her.

    Can we get going now then? I asked and used my head to

    gesture at the car hed been leaning on.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    37/113

    Of course. He opened the back doors so I could rest Bella

    on the back seats. I placed her head as close to the door on

    the right as possible, without it being in a place to get hit if

    there was a bump in the road. I then had to fold her knees

    behind the passenger seat because she was too long to lie

    straight. I took off my shirt and folded it to make a cushion

    for her. I slid it under her head, and climbed into the

    passenger seat. We drove in silence with me occasionally

    giving James instructions. As we pulled up into our longdrive I stopped with the pounding waves, I heard Bella

    groan lightly and I rushed to the back of the car to help her

    out.

    Oh my god, I heard her whisper lightly, I had to strain to

    hear her, she moved her gaze away from my toned chest

    and up to my face. I offered her my hand, which she gladlytook as she pushed herself up and out of the car. We all

    walked slightly tentatively into the house.

    Jazz! I heard my wife shout as she flung herself into my

    arms. I felt my heart sink a little, as I saw Edward pull Bella

    into a tight embrace; and I realised I was falling for my

    brothers wife.

    BPOV

    I felt my heart sink a little as Alice flew into his arms. I

    smiled at him shyly over Edwards shoulder; he returned it

    and started talking to Alice.

    38/113

    Bella, Im so sorry for being angry at you! I was just

    worried. Please say you can forgive me!

    Of course, Edward. I smiled and kissed his lips gently. I

    spun around and introduced James to him.

    Edward, meet James. James, meet Edward; my husband.

    Edward stuck his hand out for James to shake, and they

    both started squeezing hard on each others hands.

    James can make vampires body parts work again. He can

    make us both human so we can have another child Edward.Edward stared at James and then me; his small lopsided

    smile turned into a massive grin as he twirled me around the

    room. James gestured to us all that we sit down.

    Ok so whatll happen is Ill change Edward for a week; hes

    got a week to get her pregnant. Nearing the end of the

    week your heart rate will start to slow down, and someonewill need to change you in that time or youll die. James

    stated simply, Edward nodded at James to continue.

    Then if Bella becomes pregnant; which she should as I have

    a very high success rate. Shell stay human for the nine

    months. A week after the child is born your heart rate will

    begin to decrease; and youll need to be changed back tovampire too.

    So their child would be human? Carlisle asked.

    Yeah, but you can obviously change them into a vampire

    when you felt it was appropriate. We all nodded at him, and

    James clapped his hands together loudly.

    Ready to do it now then? Me and Edward looked at each

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    39/113

    other and nodded. I saw Jazz leave the room with Alice

    following him quickly.

    Ok then and by the way Bella, for the first few weeks your

    tattoo will burn, because of the venom. I nodded at him.

    YOU GOT A TATOO?! Bella you know how I feel about

    those things. Edward sighed as he pinched the bridge of

    his nose. I pulled up the sleeve of my red turtle neck;

    Edward ran his thumb over my tattoo. He looked up at me

    with pure love shining in his eyes.I thought you could get one matching. I said slowly, hoping

    it wouldnt offend him.

    Of course I will Bella. He whispered and placed a kiss on

    my wrist, then mouth.

    Ok then... Ive got places to be so can we do this? James

    asked shifting his feet restlessly. James walked over to us,his eyes closed in concentration; he stood in front of

    Edward. Then Edward started to scream loudly; his head

    rolled onto the back of the sofa, as if hed got bored and

    drifted off. James moved to stand in front of me, his eyes

    snapped open as if he felt my fear, and shot me a reassuring

    smile. He closed his eyes and the look of concentrationreturned, I felt all my venom flee from my body, so fast it

    burned. The pain became too much, I stopped fighting it and

    gave in.

    I opened my eyes to see Esme and Carlisle leaning over me

    in worry. I lifted head slowly, and blinked at the scene;

    James was sat on the couch watching the football game; and

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    40/113

    the man next to me smiled lopsidedly. I gasped.

    Edward? His bright green eyes shone in amusement.

    The one and only. He smiled at me again; I raised my hand

    to touch his face. His light pink skin was warm, he closed his

    eyes and leant into my hand; his auburn hair shone in the

    light that was coming from the glass wall.

    Youre beautiful, I whispered, as I revealed in the feel of

    his warm, soft skin.

    So are you. His hand ran delicately across my face, andpicked up one of my dark brown locks; his hand then rested

    on my neck, feeling my pulse.

    Ive missed that. He smiled, making me blush. And that.

    He chuckled.

    Right we have something to do, Mrs Cullen. He laughed,

    raising his eyebrows suggestively. I laughed and got up fromthe sofa, and stood to look at him.

    Youre... breathtaking. I sighed. The door swung open

    revealing Emmett and Rose, who looked like shed been

    dragged through a hedge backwards.

    Youre both human? Emmett said; standing in the doorway

    stunned.Well done Em, Edward said sarcastically, as he dragged me

    upstairs.

    EMPOV

    I opened the door to see two humans staring at each other

    lovingly in our living room. All the people in the living room

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    41/113

    spun around at our arrival, revealing that the two humans

    were Edward and Bella.

    Youre both human? I question at them.

    Well done Em. Edward said sarcastically, as he rushed

    upstairs with Bella.

    Why are they human? I questioned to my family as I sat

    down next to new vampire. And who the hell is this? I

    asked jerking my thumb at the new guy.

    Im James, He said, not looking away from the footballgame on TV. That still doesnt explain why Bells and Eddie

    are human? I said looking at everyone in the room.

    I have the power to make vampires human, so they can have

    children. It usually always works the first time. James

    said, as he pumped his arm, as the team he supported

    scored. Rose gasped and looked at me expectantly.Em? She asked a hopeful smile on her face.

    Are you sure, baby? I asked, and smiled widely as she

    nodded madly.

    Are you asking me to turn you two into humans? I looked

    at James and nodded. He sighed and led Rose over to the

    couch; he stood in front of her and closed his eyes inconcentration, Rose started screaming loudly. I gripped her

    hand tightly as she writhed in pain on the couch before she

    fainted. James moved to hover over me; I screamed loudly

    in pain as I welcomed the blackness.

    JPOV

    Emmett screamed from downstairs, and it became tangled

    with Bellas screams of pleasure that floated down from

    upstairs. I sat on our bed playing my new white guitar; I

    continued singing even when Alice came and sat beside me. I

    started to sing Use Somebody by Kings of Leon. Bella

    adored the song. Alice hated it ironically. Alice climbed intomy lap, as I drifted toward the end, and started to kiss my

    neck.

    Im going hunting, I said stiffly, and swept out of the

    room in a fluid moment. I ran past Emmett and Rose who

    were mostly staring at each other intently. I jumped over

    the bubbling river that separated our garden from the

    forest. I heard the quick movements of Alice behind me,

    wanting to be alone I pushed my legs faster; I knew Id have

    to face her wrath later, but later rather than sooner for

    me at the moment. Alice dodged her way in front of me,

    making me come to a sudden stop.

    What the hell was that? She spat at me, her small eyes

    glowering at me evilly.

    I needed to hunt. I stated simply, staring back at her.

    I got that part. I meanwhy did you run? She spat, but her

    eyes showed her true sadness; and I realised I wasnt at all

    affected. I didnt want to make her smile again.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    43/113

    I need space. I chuckled realizing I was quoting Bella.

    I can give you space! She insisted, I pointed to the house

    that was only just in sight.

    Go home then. I said in a stern voice. She nodded slowly; a

    way a child would after being caught with their hand in the

    cookie jar. She ran off with a slight sob, her departure

    made me feel like I could breathe again. I heard the faint

    heart beat of a bear; I followed the sound and saw the bear

    clawing at a tree. I pounced onto its back, and felt itstruggle as I sunk my teeth through its fur. His ferocious

    roar turned into pathetic mewls, as its blood flooded into

    my mouth. I sighed happily in relief as I felt the warm liquid

    trickle down my throat.

    BPOVI lay panting, on Edwards toned chest.

    Wow! He mumbled sleepily. I nodded against his chest,

    causing him to chuckle throatily.

    Can you even talk?He asked smugly.

    Yes! I protested with a croak.

    Good, he chuckled; and shifted me so my head restedagainst his shoulder. He gently pressed a kiss into my hair.

    Night Bella. He yawned before falling asleep instantly.

    Night Edward. I whispered into the darkness.

    RPOV

    I was woken up by Emmett who was currently kissing my

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    44/113

    neck. I sighed happily and pulled him up to my lips by his

    curly hair.

    Good morning, he whispered, onto my lips.

    Yes it is. I groaned as his tongue touched my bottom lip. I

    shoved his head off of me, making him pout.

    I want to go and buy a pregnancy test. I said, as I walked

    into the bathroom in his shirt.

    Will it work straight away? Emmett asked.

    I have no clue! I shouted back as I stepped into theshower.

    BPOV

    I padded downstairs in my gray sweatpants, and one of

    Edwards sweatshirts.

    Morning sweetie, Esme smiled at me, as I started to make

    myself some coffee.

    Morning, I grumbled, and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

    Can I have some toast please? I asked, making Esme

    freeze in shock.

    S-sure, she stuttered out. She placed the bread in the

    toaster, at the smell of the warming bread; Edward, Rose

    and Emmett all came thundering down stairs.

    Is that breakfast? Rose asked, her face showing her

    disgust.

    Yeah but I can make something else. I smiled at them all.

    Yes! We get to eat! Emmett shouted in excitement, his

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    45/113

    fist pumping the air in excitement.

    Yeah, but you have to watch your weight, shave, get hairs

    cuts, work out. All that before you change back. I said and

    waved at James, who was still on the couch.

    Well thats ok, I dont mind working out! Emmett said, as

    he kissed his biceps making us all laugh. I grabbed the toast

    from the toaster and started buttering it; the others

    grimaced as I bit into it.

    Bella? Edward asked, as he wrapped his arms around me.Yes? I asked, feeling awkward in his arms.

    Whats good for breakfast? I looked up at him

    questioningly, and then realised theyd been vampires for so

    long; that they didnt know anything about food.

    How about eggs? I asked, and giggled when they all

    shrugged. As I started adding the milk to the eggs; Jazzwalked into the kitchen, with Alice following behind, in a

    pair of sweat pants and I felt my heart swell with love. I

    blushed, as he raised his eyebrows at me, and looked down

    at the egg mixture.

    Hey Bella, I was thinking that we could make a trip to that

    hotel a monthly thing; what do you think? I stood looking athim in shock; and I felt myself nod.

    Yeah, that sounds good. I smiled; and slid the eggs onto

    the four plates Id set out. Edward, Rose and Emmett

    picked up their forks hesitantly and studied the eggs.

    Are you sure this is edible Bella? Emmett asked, as the

    egg wobbled on his fork. I laughed and nodded at him. Jazz

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    46/113

    groaned as Edward wrapped his arms around my waist.

    Im going for a walk. He snapped and walked towards the

    door, with Alice following him.

    Alone. He spat at her; Alice nodded and then began to sob

    uncontrollably. Edward frowned, removed his arms from my

    waist and pulled her into a hug.

    Ill go talk to him; I said and walked out into the garden.

    Jazz, what the hell is up with you? I spat at him

    venomously. He shrugged, playing the innocent guy; not theguy who just made Alice cry.

    I dont know what youre talking about, Bells he smiled,

    making my heart flutter a little. At the sound his eyebrows

    rose, and he smirked at me.

    What the hell is wrong with you? You just made the woman

    you love cry! I shouted at him.No, I didnt. I made a woman, who I once loved, cry. He

    said, and came closer to me. The woman I love is standing

    opposite me. He stated and walked off into the woods. I

    sighed and walked back into the house, where Edward was

    still holding a sobbing Alice.

    Hey Al, Itll be ok. Hell come around. I said rubbing herback; but buried deep into my soul was the feeling that he

    wouldnt come around for her. That hed leave her, and

    sweep me off my feet, and take me away to a romantic

    island. Just me and him.

    47/113

    JPOV

    I walked from the woods; a stomach full of blood sloshing

    around inside of me. Standing at the back door, was Edward.

    His tall form; filling the wooden door frame, with a

    thunderous expression.

    What? I spat at him, not caring that my hate for him was

    probably drowning him.

    You cant just break her heart, and then walk off. He spatback.

    You did it to Bella. I said smugly, as I felt his hurt roll off

    him, as he flinched.

    That was different! He said, a desperate edge starting to

    appear in his voice.

    Why was it? You broke Bellas heart and then walked away.Is it different because I PLANNED on coming back? I shot

    at him, not wanting to hear his stupid reply; I barged past

    him and walked into the living room. Alice was snuggled into

    the white sofa watching television, with a dark blanket

    covering her. James was sat in a large black arm chair, his

    red eyes focused on a thick book. I walked up stairs,completely ignoring Alice, and heard Rose and Emmett going

    at it upstairs; and the soft whimpers of Bella. I walked to

    my bedroom door, and then heard Bellas whimpers turn into

    screams. I rushed upstairs and flew into her room, and

    pulled her into my arms. Edward flew in a couple of minutes

    later; I forced waves of calm onto her shaking body.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    48/113

    Sshh Bella; its okay. Im here. I cooed into her ear quietly.

    She stopped shaking and woke up abruptly.

    What was wrong, Bella? Edward asked her, making me

    growl at him inaudibly in jealousy.

    You left me again. She whispered, upon hearing it Edwards

    eyes filled with sadness.

    Im not going anywhere Bella. I LOVE YOU. Im not leaving

    again. He said, and pulled her from me so he could embrace

    her tightly. I understood the message, shesmine! I walkedout the door when I heard very faint, thanks Jazz.

    RPOV

    Itd been three days! The longest three days of my life. The

    tests were meant to have shown if I was pregnant by now.

    All twelve tests had said negative. After Bella had

    forgotten her nightmare; shed made an appointment at a

    sexual health clinic for me and Emmett. We walked hand in

    hand into the sterile building.

    Names, please? The receptionist, Jessica, asked.

    Emmett and Rosalie Cullen. Emmett smiled at her. She

    fluttered her eyelashes at him, making me wrap my arms

    around his toned, warm chest possessively.

    DR Mallory will be out in a minute. She smiled coyly at him,

    and then blushed when she realised I was glaring at her. I

    dragged Emmett away from the slut, and over to the large

    couch.

    Are you possessive, babe? Emmett smirked down at me.

    pointed out the attached room.

    What? He asked staring at her blankly.

    Go and wank into the tub, honey. I stated simply.

    Can do, doc. He departed with a wink.

    Ok, so no you. Sadly women have to be more complicated.

    She sighed, and passed me a medical gown.

    Ill you a minute to change, once youre finished lie on the

    bed for me please, Rosalie. She smiled at me, and then

    closed the door with a loud click.

    EMPOV

    I walked back into the room; and saw Rosalie sat on the bed

    with big fat tears rolling down her face.

    Hey, I cooed at her. Whats wrong? I asked, whilerubbing her back.

    It just hurt so much! She wailed into my shoulder. I was

    about to speak again, when I heard her whisper very faintly.

    It reminded me of THAT night. (Night she was raped.) I

    stiffened and wrapped my arms around her tightly.

    Well then, just think about the child you could be carryingsoon. I soothed, and started rocking her gently.

    BPOV

    I woke up and looked at the digital clock that rested on my

    nightstand. 10 am it read in big red block numbers; I

    shifted and saw that Edward was snoring gently next to me.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    51/113

    I removed his arms from my waist, and threw on a shirt and

    a pair of jeans. I swung open the bedroom door, and saw

    that Jazz was stood outside my bedroom.

    Hey, I said softly, and closed the door slowly.

    Hey, you ok? He asked, scanning me quickly.

    Yeah, are you? He nodded, and shifted uncomfortably.

    Where are you going? He asked again.

    To go and buy a pregnancy test. I whispered; Jazz

    stiffened making me feel awful.Right, he said before stalking off into his room, and

    slamming the door loudly; causing me to sigh. I made my way

    to Edwards car, when Alice appeared in front of me.

    Can I come!? She bounced happily.

    Id like some time to think, alone. Is that ok, Al? Her

    vibrant smile dropped, and she nodded slowly.Ok, tell me as soon as you know then. She smiled slightly

    and let me get in the car. I buckled in and drove off quickly.

    I pulled into the stores car park, picked up my phone and

    purse. I opened the stores door and slipped in quietly,

    recognising Jessica, and hoped she hadnt seen me. I picked

    up a Clear Blue pregnancy test and a small loaf of bread.Bella! Jessicas scream startled me.

    Jessica! I smiled at her, pretending to be shocked at

    seeing her.

    What are you buying? She asked looking down at the

    pregnancy test in my left hand.

    A loaf of bread. I smiled.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    52/113

    No! The other thing! She huffed.

    You mean this pregnancy test? I asked looking down at the

    box, and then smiled at her widely.

    I think Im pregnant. I shrugged, but I felt a smile start

    to appear.

    Wow! Well tell me when you know the details; send my best

    to Edward. I nodded and waved at her as she left. I threw

    $15 onto the counter and walked out without getting my

    change. Not wanting to face Alice, Edward and especiallyJazz; I headed down to the Quileute Reservation. I parked

    by the cliff, me and Jake jumped off a life time ago. A grey

    wolf appeared from the shadowed forest growling at me. I

    held my hands up in a non threatening gesture.

    Its me, Bella. I said, willing it was a werewolf and not a

    real one. The wolf backed back into the forest, a loudscream and shredding sound echoed from deep inside; and

    then Sam strolled calmly back out.

    What did you do to Jake? He growled at me, his eyes

    dark.

    I didnt do anything. He did! I spat at him.

    Well sorry, I dont know what he did; because hesdisappeared. He snapped back at me.

    He fucking killed Renesmee! Ok, are you fucking happy

    now? He killed my daughter! I sobbed and fell to the

    ground. Sam looked down at me; his eyes soft.

    Bella, Im so sorry. I didnt know. I stood, wiped my tears

    and headed towards my car.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    53/113

    Bella, I am sorry. Why are you human though? He called

    after me and ran to catch up.

    I think I might be pregnant. I stated flatly, Sam stopped

    beside me.

    Er... congrats I guess! He said while dragging his hand

    through his thick black hair.

    Yeah, well gotta take the test yet. I said, as I climbed

    into my truck. Sam stood awkwardly, and then waved slightly

    as I drove off.Twenty minutes later and I was pulling into our long drive.

    As soon as Id parked I was practically dragged out of the

    car and into the cold arms of Alice; and was then pulled into

    the warm arms of Edward.

    Bella, where did you go? I saw you driving and then you

    just, vanished. Alice asked accusingly.I was with Sam Uley, down at the Quileute Reservation. I

    said staring straight at her; and ignored Edward stiffening

    around me.

    Oh, Alice said simply. I untangled myself from Edward,

    and walked into the house with the shopping bag in hand.

    Everyone, excluding Jazz, made their way into the livingroom and looked at me expectantly. I sighed and walked

    into the bathroom down the hall; the Cullens trailed after

    me, grinning at me when I spun around.

    Guys! Can I please pee on a stick in privacy? I growled at

    them, all the Cullens dispersed individually until it was only

    Edward in front of me.

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    54/113

    Can I come in with you? Edward blushed.

    WHAT!? No! I screeched at him, and then blushed bright

    red.

    Sorry, he mumbled and sat on the floor outside the

    bathroom. I crouched down in front of him, and kissed his

    cheek.

    I just need a bit of space and privacy, Edward. I heard

    Jazz chuckle loudly from upstairs, making me smile. I

    walked into the bathroom and locked the door, even thoughhalf the people in the house could break it down if they

    wanted to. I took a deep breath, and took the test thatd

    change the rest of my life. I sat, holding the Clear Blue

    stick in my hand. Three minutes later and the word

    POSITIVE popped up along with 4 DAYS, I stared down at

    the stick in shock. I opened the door to the bathroomnumbly; Edward shot up at the sight of me.

    Well? He asked excitedly.

    Its positive; Ive been pregnant for four days. I smiled

    weakly; my legs feeling like jelly. Edward kissed me tenderly

    that then became a hard, passionate kiss. He pulled away

    after a minute and then gently kissed my stomach.Youre pregnant! Alice, Rose and Esme pulled me into a

    tight hug; and smiled down at me.

    Youll need to get, and go to, a doctor Bella. Carlisle

    smiled at me gently.

    Why dont you be her doctor, dad? Edward said; before

    Id even opened my mouth. I stared wide eyed and open

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    55/113

    mouthed at Edward.

    Er... Edward can we talk about this? I whispered to him.

    What is there to talk about? Hell deliver your baby. He

    smiled down at me.

    Carlisle, know I love you so much; but you are NOT

    delivering my kid. I dont want my father-in-law down there;

    and YOU shouldnt want your father down there. I said

    pointing at Edward; and then walking towards the phone.

    RPOV

    Bella walked over to the landline, calling a doctor when my

    mobile rang. I sucked in a large breath as the word Doctors

    flashed onto the screen.

    Hello?

    Hello? Mrs Rosalie Cullen; its Dr Mallory. We have theresults from your visit. I waved Emmett over to me; he

    came immediately and pressed his ear near to my phone.

    Im sorry to say that youre womb is to hostile to hold a

    child. I felt tears run down my cheek at her words; and

    Emmett pulled me into his strong arms. I could hear his

    heart beating slowly; and I knew him, me and Edward wouldhave to change back soon.

    Ok, well thank you very much. I managed to croak out; I

    hung up before she could start talking again.

    Hey! We can always adopt. I nodded against his chest, but

    knew he was as heartbroken as me.

    You, me and Edward need to change back. I sobbed out;

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    56/113

    knowing Id miss his warm skin. He nodded and called

    Edward and Carlisle over.

    EMPOV

    Carlisle, we need to change back. I can feel my heart

    slowing. I said as James walked in from outside, holding a

    blood bag.

    You guys need to change back. He stated, and flopped onto

    the couch.Were sorting that out now, actually. I spat at him, hoping

    hed leave soon.

    Emmett! Carlisle scolded. Ill bite you all then. He said

    and made his way to his study; where he kept hospital beds

    in a cupboard from our previous changes.

    Ill just go and say goodbye to Bella. Edward said andwalked over to her.

    Youre not dying Edward! I called after him, making him

    spin around and raise an eyebrow at me, realising my

    mistake I began to laugh hysterically. I walked upstairs with

    Rose close behind me. I let Carlisle slide the morphine

    needle into my arm and then bite my wrists and neck. Theworld fuzzed before turning black, and then bright red as

    the venom started working. I screamed and thrashed on the

    table in pain.

    EPOV

    My favourite brother was thrashing on one of Carlisles

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    57/113

    hospital beds in pain. Rose was stood next to him holding his

    hand and crying harder than before. Carlisle gently pushed

    Rose onto a bed next to Emmett. He bit her, and then

    looked at his daughter who was whimpering in pain. He

    looked up at me next, and gestured to the next bed. I

    climbed onto it and nodded at Carlisle.

    Ready? He smiled sadly.

    As Ill ever be, I said flatly, lay back and let him pour

    venom into my body.

    BPOV

    Itd been another stressful week; Alice and Jazz screaming

    at each other. Carlisle who was using all sorts of medication

    for Edward, Rose and Emmett. James leaving. Esme thoughhad been the most supportive; shed hold me and my child

    when Id wake up screaming from my nightmares. Id made

    an appointment at the doctors on today, the day Edward

    was supposed to wake up. Me, Jazz and Alice were all sat in

    the lounge; waiting for the others to come down. I heard

    the faint buzz of Carlisle and Esme talking upstairs andthen some growling. I blinked and the next thing I see is

    Edward, Rose and Emmett crouched in front of me; teeth

    bared and red eyes glowing brightly.

    Bloody hell. I whimpered as the approached me slowly.

    Jazz stood up instantly, and stood in front of me;

    protecting me from them. Edward growled at him

    58/113

    menacingly.

    Edward, remember me. Your wife, your kids mother. I

    smiled hopefully, recognition flickered across his face and

    he sprinted out the room. I sighed in relief, and got up

    slowly. Jazz walked me to the Volvo, keeping his eyes firmly

    on Rose and Emmett. He opened the door to the passenger

    side and waited as I climbed into the car; his eyes

    constantly shifting. He appeared in the drivers seat a

    second later, and pulled out of the long drive rapidly.Hospital? He growled, his eyes still shifting. I nodded at

    him, and pulled out my mobile. He picked up on the third

    ring.

    Hey daddy, I said, trying to sound cheerful.

    Oh, hi Bells! Are you ok?

    Im pregnant! I squealed down the phone, making Jazz tutquietly.

    Wow! Thats great Bells! When did you find out? I think

    heard him say good job Edward, but couldnt be sure.

    About twenty minutes ago! So me and Jazz will come and

    see you after Ive been to the hospital.

    Great wha- JASPER! I heard him screech. I pushed myhair off my face, and sighed deeply.

    Yeah, Edwards hunting down some food. I smiled as Jazz

    let out a hearty laugh.

    He couldnt drop it long enough to go to the hospital with

    you? I heard my dad tut. Jazz pulled into the hospitals car

    park; and placed his head on the steering wheel as I

    59/113

    continued my conversation.

    No, dad I gotta go. Love you, see you later. I blew him a

    kiss through the phone and hung up.

    I was sat in the doctors office, waiting for her to arrive.

    Jazz was sat in the chair near to the bed I was laying on.

    He smiled up at me as the doctor walked in.

    Hello, Im Doctor Wilson.

    Im Bella, and this isJasper. I smiled at her.Ok then; Bella get on the scales for me please, and then Ill

    measure your height. She smiled at me, and then Jazz. I

    stepped onto the large scales, and watched the hand whizz

    round; and stopped at ten stone and 3 and a half lbs.

    Thats perfect Bella! Thats a great weight to start at. You

    should add about 300 calories to your day for the baby. DrWilson smiled at me. She led me over to a different set of

    scales, and started fiddling behind me.

    Youre 54, thats fine as well Bella. Would you like the

    blood test first? Or the scan? She smiled. Jazz stiffened

    at the words blood test.

    Would your husband like to leave the room while I do theblood test?

    Im not... Hes not... Were not married. I stuttered out.

    Oh sorry. Your boyfriend then? Her eyes flickered down

    to my ring finger.

    Hes not my boyfriend either. I looked Jazz straight in

    the eye, thought about lots of decisions so Alice couldnt

    60/113

    see us, over the doctors shoulder.

    Hes a very close friend of mine; and the more I spend time

    with him, the more I fall in love with him. Jazz looked

    straight back at me, and then began to smile.

    Aww! She cooed, smiling at us both.

    Im married and pregnant with his brothers child. I smiled

    sadly.

    Oh! I nodded at her shocked face.

    And Im married to her sister-in-law.So not very complicated then. She smiled, and then

    started laughing at her own joke.

    Ill have the blood test first please; get it over with. You

    can leave, go and get a drink and then come back in a bit if

    you want Jazz. I smiled; he nodded his thanks and then

    left hastily. I sat further back on the bed and closed myeyes as she started prepping the needles. I peeked open my

    eyes and saw her putting three empty vials on a tray near

    me; at the sight of the long needle I whimpered quietly.

    This will only take about 3 minutes, Bella. I nodded, my

    eyes still closed; and whimpered again when the needle

    pierced my skin. As she said, about three minutes later shewithdrew the needle; wrapped the tiny wound with cotton

    wool and medical tape.

    The door swung open revealing Jazz, with his eyes glowing

    neon gold. I smiled at him; and then gasped as Dr Wilson

    put cold blue gel on my flat stomach. She laughed lightly;

    and Jazz came to sit by my side and grabbed my hand. She

    61/113

    scanned my stomach, and then frowned at the screen. My

    heart sped up.

    Is something wrong? I and Jazz asked simultaneously. She

    shook her head, and clicked on the keyboard.

    Im seeing three. She said, still frowning.

    Please say feet and not children. I said almost screaming

    at her.

    Do you not want three children? She asked, finally looking

    away from the screen.I dont know. Maybe.

    You could always put two up for adoption. She offered

    kindly.

    NO! I roared at her. She held her hands up in mock

    surrender.

    Sorry. I said sheepishly.Yeah, definitely three. Youre a mother of triplets Bella!

    She said cheerfully.

    Ok Bella, I suggest you dont drink any alcohol now, youll

    need to bump you calorie intake by 900 calories. 300 for

    each child. Drink lots; water would be the best. Dont smoke,

    or be around anyone who smokes; as itll harm them. Wereall finished after that; we need to make an appointment

    every two weeks for the first trimester. She smiled; I

    nodded trying to remember everything shed said. Jazz

    squeezed my hand, a reassuring gesture that hed help. I

    wiped off the gel with paper towels shed handed to me; and

    left me to get dressed behind a horrible curtain. Jazz

    62/113

    smiled at me and led me to the reception area.

    Okay Bella. When would you like your nest appointment?

    Dr Wilson smiled at me; looking in her diary.

    You said youd meet Charlie that Thursday, apart from that

    youre free. Jazz whispered into my ear.

    Thanks. Tuesday, at four? I asked, she looked down at her

    black book, nodded and wrote it down.

    Bye. She called; and walked back into the room wed just

    been in.To Charlies? Jazz asked once we were both in the car; all

    I could do was nod. I was still thinking about the three

    children Id have in nine months.

    JPOV

    I drove slowly, my eyes going from the road to Bella. Bellawhod admitted shed loved me, about an hour ago. I smiled

    at the thought of Bella glowing, again, through the stages of

    pregnancy. It was wiped from my mind when I imagined the

    kids with HIS hair. I pulled into Charlies drive, and waited

    for Bella to come round from her daydream. Her eyes began

    to focus on the house in front of us; she looked at me andthen jumped; obviously forgetting Id accompanied her.

    Come on, I said gently and I appeared at her door, took

    her hand and dragged her to the front door. I knocked on it

    when Bella sucked in a big breath, and nodded.

    Hey Bells! Jazz. He nodded at me; his enthusiasm

    disappearing as he said my name. He took her arm and

  • 8/4/2019 A Little bit of Romance and A LOT of Complication

    63/113

    stared down at her soft, warm skin curiously.

    So how was it? He asked, still walki
