I did not edit this chapter so bear with me, I typed this up a little bit last night and finished it today during my break!

"Can you sing too?" Bella was sitting at the edge of his bed, her hands slightly gripping the grey duvet between her fingers. She was amused and giddy as Nathaniel sat in a black leather chair at the corner of his room.

"Don't push it." He gave her a stern look before breaking out into a toothy grin. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach as she sat in anticipation.

Nathaniel strummed his guitar once before beginning the song. Bella recognized the starting melody of Scientist by Coldplay. And when Nathaniel opened his mouth to sing she felt herself fall deeper for him at that moment. His voice was beautiful, he looked like an angel of death. Morbid but true. Like a siren pulling you in just to kill you in the end.

Strumming the final cords he set the guitar back into its case before leaning back in his chair.

"Did the music sweeten your soul, little one?" Bella stared at his taunting gaze. Without replying she stood up and walked towards him which peaked his interest. Without a second thought she was in his lap as they began to make out. Nathaniel's cool hands moved to her waist, teasing the skin beneath her thin green shirt. Nathaniel gently pulled her hair back as he began to pepper her neck with kisses. By default he inhaled her scent deeply enrapturing him. His hands slid down to her ass before picking her up and carrying her to the bed. He dropped her on it and stared down at her.

Lust fueled his actions as he was back on top of her. He had little care for the others in the household as he was to focused on the girl beneath him. It was too good to be true.

Her hands tangled in his hair, trying to pull him closer to her if possible. He lifted her shirt up over her head before he was peppering her chest with teasing pecks. Bella gasped at the contact, involuntarily arching her back.

Nathaniel kissed lower and lower until there was a banging on his door.

"On behalf of the entire household, I just wanna say, I'm proud of you Nathaniel. Finally getting laid!" Disappointment filled Bella once she found herself alone in the room. She heard a howl of laughter traveling through the house alongside glass breaking and Nathaniel swearing at Emmett.

"Get back here fucker!" Nathaniel chased Emmett out of the house but not before leaving a mess Esme would surely kill him for.

Bella put her shirt back on and decided to try and return to the kitchen. Once she saw Esme guilt and embarrassment washed over her. Esme gave her a polite smile that made her feel a little better.

"Hungry?" She says as she sets down a plate of Italiano. Pulling out a chair she sat down but not before thanking her. As she ate her food she had a pleasant conversation with Esme about school and her family which she didn't want to dive to deep into. She was pretty bland if she said so herself. She couldn't help but feel lucky. With Nathaniel she felt lighter, alive. She was falling in love with him.

Nathaniel reappeared slightly disheveled with a scowl on his face.

"Emmett can be a fucking asshole."

"Language. And you!" Esme pointed at him. "Go clean up my vases!" Nathaniel dropped his head dramatically as he sulked away.

Finishing the meal Bella tried to clean up but Esme insisted on doing it.

"I'm just so glad Nathaniel finally met someone. He deserves some happiness." The smile on Esme's face made her smile back. She liked his family, they were welcoming for the most part and from her encounters with Carlisle he was a nice man.

And with that her time spend at the Cullens has ended. She was a little disappointed seeing as they barely spent two hours there but Nathaniel promised to make it up to her.

Before they drove into town Nathaniel pulled onto another dirt road, barely noticeable unless you were really looking. The bumpy road had Bella jostling in her seat, looking over at him he was unfazed. Pulling to a stop Nathaniel got out of the car, Bella following right behind him.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Do you trust me?" Bella smirked.

"Yes." He chuckled. Bella let out a squeal as Nathaniel swept her off her feet bridal style. His chest vibrated from the laughter that suddenly erupted from him.

"Hold on tight spider monkey." And with that he darted through the forest. Bella held onto him for dear life as the force of his speed pushed her further into him if possible. She peeked an eye open before opening her eyes fully in astonishment. It felt so surreal.

Finally he came to a stop in the middle of a meadow. He finally set her down but not before catching her as she began to fall.

"Sorry, it was the quickest way. Fun fact my brother Edward likes to garden, this is his secret spot. Bella couldn't help but gape at all the flowers and plants that were growing there. The sun began to peak out casting its light on Nathaniel's crystallized form. She was breathless.

"It's beautiful." She commented. He came closer to her and tilted her head up to look at him. He pressed a chaste kiss on her lips before pulling back.

-

They both laid there quietly alongside one another in blissful silence, his eyes were closed, appearing to sleep. Bella glanced at him her feeling ruminating in her chest.

She wanted to tell him but feared it was too soon, but she couldn't shake the feeling. Though she shouldn't be too surprised seeing as they're mates and that concept will forever make her wonder. A part of her still couldn't believe vampires existed and she was involved with one. That phrase seemed to always circulate back in her head. It's the why and how of it all. She was also envious of their beauty and strength. She longed to be strong like him even if it means leaving everything she knew behind. She knew she was selfish but after the years of solitude and taking care of herself for the most part she was done catering to others. A pang through her chest made her think of Charlie. He was a good man and she would miss him dearly, her mom and Phil too but their life isn't the one she wants.

It never was.
