Unexpectedly Chapter 16 Teaser

Beware: this is a pretty steamy teaser. And yes, this is from the right story.
Have fun!

Then there was the awkward silence again. Both of them returned back to their meals, but Bella was no longer hungry. In fact, she felt a little bit queasy. It frustrated her copiously that she couldn’t reciprocate what Edward had just said, so she fought furiously with her mind to let herself at least show him that she felt the same way.

She put her fork down which made a clank sound so loud that Edward paused mid-mouthful. He chewed the remaining food in his mouth as he watched Bella, wide-eyed, getting up from her chair and looking at him intently with her large brown eyes. For one second, he could have sworn that they were almost lustful, but he knew that they were definitely determined, anyhow. The thought of her excited him, and the electric current that they both regularly felt made a return with a full-forced impact. Edward sat still waiting for the shock.

Bella leaned towards him, her hair falling in front of her, which would have formed a curtain if Edward hadn’t impulsively tucked her hair behind her ears. They both stared at each other; love, adoration and yes, it was definitely lust, Edward had decided, radiated between them. Edward wanted to hold Bella so tight to him and never let go, but his arms were not moving from her face yet. As she leaned closer, he grasped her jaw gently and let his thumb trace her nose, down to her lips, to sweep lightly across her chin and jaw line before pausing to look into her eyes. She was the most beautiful girl, no woman, he had ever seen.

“You’re beautiful,” he whispered as he made the final closure between his and her lips.

A kiss had never been so sweet. Bella had been pretty sure that no kiss could have beaten the ones they had shared already, even if there were few. However, this knocked them all off the chart. Their lips moved together as if made for each other. She sucked onto his bottom lip, while he nibbled lightly on her top lip. Soon, she was sitting on his lap, straddling him so that they could reach a higher level of contact, as if kissing finally wasn’t enough.

Unexpectedly Chapter 15 Teaser II

I wanted to post the full chapter tonight but I am almost dead with exhaustion and because I live in the UK, there is a time difference and I can't stay awake that long to get the chapter back from the beta and edit it (trust me, I'm trying) so here is another sneak preview of what is to come.

Bella sighed after she had sent the message but in her view, there was nothing else she could do.
How could she leave her father after everything they had been through together? Obviously her heart and her mind belonged to Edward, but she couldn’t allow herself to be so egocentric. She knew that her father would have never left her in any clause, so she gave herself no sanction to do the same.

She cried that night into her pillow, almost hating her devotion to her father that allowed Edward’s lone departure. In a way, she felt selfish again, knowing that Edward had felt alone and that when they were together, she had helped to wipe that poignant emotion away. She felt melancholy as she remembered his pained look on the first day that she had met him when he had come into Crumbs, and then compared it to the look on his face after he had kissed her. She saw how contented she made him feel, and she knew that he made her feel exactly the same.

As she wept into her pillow, she regarded the bracelet that Edward had given her and she cried even harder. Why did everything with her have to be so distressing and complicated? For the first time since she had met Edward, she just wanted to be normal.

That night she dreamed of Edward Cullen. She dreamed of his touch and nothing else.

Unexpectedly Chapter 15 Teaser

Hola people! Sorry I've taken so long with this stuff; I've been to Bulgaria, Spain and Geneva this month - I've literally had no time! I did write some in Geneva though and I am back now, and have got 2 chapters on hand. So I thought I would publish a teaser for chapter 15 before I whack up the whole thing after I've got it from the beta.

Enjoy! :)

Transparent thoughts were running through his head at an almost unthinkable speed. There didn’t seem to be any logical reasoning behind his current behaviour, yet irrational thoughts and premonitions were still transpiring. How was it that one person could make him act like this, despite his seeming repute for being conscientious, caring and completely based on reason?

It was stupid, well, he was being stupid – at present, anyway. His character seemed to be surprising himself at every turn since four months ago when he had found Rose in his bedroom in flagrante. However, the text message had been the most unanticipated so far, even for him. He couldn’t even tell whether his mind had even meant it or whether he had just become so desperate because he feared a loss. It wasn’t a loss like a twenty dollar bill or even a lost investment – it was a loss of his solace; a loss of one of the only things that was urging him to keep on going.

He had Honey, and of course that meant the world to him, but Bella brought him a different kind of sanctuary and succour to his life. Edward had always lived for Honey, but Honey a part of his family life with Rose. Although the association to his estranged wife didn’t make a difference to his unconditional love for his daughter, he found that his extraordinary relationship with Bella was almost something he could call his own: his personal delicate discovery.

Perhaps asking her to come to Seattle was completely unfounded, of course it was, but he was desperate. After that alarmingly terrifying conversation with her father, he became scared. All of a sudden, he was no longer the well renowned attorney with a confident facade and a brilliant persona; he was a scared little boy with no direction. Where was he supposed to go from here? It seemed specious to stay in Forks after a stern word with the Chief of Police, so Seattle seemed the perfect option. But was it right to leave Bella?

At first, yes, he had thought it would have been the best option: to leave her there before her feelings, like his, grew any more powerful or unfathomable. She could have made a clean start; she had only just turned eighteen, after all. Someone at that age would have treated it as a learning curve or a strange anecdote to use in a few years when recounting past mistakes. However, Bella was different. She was unlike anyone he had ever met and that, to him, was what made him send the text message. She was too exceptional to just leave behind.

Conceivably, it wasn’t the best way to let her know that, despite the world being at odds against them, what with her father added onto the list with Rose, her lawyers and of course the terrible excuse for a human being, Irina. On the other hand, it was probably an accurate manifestation of how serious Edward felt about this girl. It was strange how they could both feel this way so quickly and so suddenly. But how can anyone really explain the connection they feel to the person that they love? It just happens, Edward thought, and it just did.

He waited for Bella’s response as he drove up to Seattle, relishing the long roads of nothing that were calming his psyche. He wasn’t sure of how he wanted to respond; he just wanted to let her know that he was still going to be there for her, if she would let him.

I'll put up the rest of the chapter on FanFiction.net as soon as I am done making the edits.
