Edward's Blind Mate

Chapter Nine - Family

"Here let me take Cleo." he took her lead and I took his arm.

"Wow, it's beautiful." Bella breathed.

"I bet it is?" I smiled we entered and Edward took my coat. I crouched down and removed her harness. I wanted her to be free today.

"Come." I told her. She followed obediently

"Sounds so free and spacious." I said

"It is." Bells told me.

"This is the one place where we can be free." Jaspers southern accent drawled

"We told them not to do this." We were escorted upstairs.

"Bella, Jackie. We're making Italian for you." Came a kind and sweet voice which I guessed to be Esme's

"Umm, thank you." I slipped my glasses on my head.

"Jackie, Bella. This is Esme. Our mother for all intents and purposes."

"Bonjourno" I smiled

"Moto Bene."

"It's given us a reason to use the kitchen for the first time."

"Hello Carlisle." I smiled

"Hello Jackie, Bella."

"I hope you're hungry."

"Yeah" "Absolutely." We said

"They already ate." there was a smash.

"Perfect." I heard Rosalie

"But we would love to take some home. It saves the cooking. Right Bella."

"Yeah, we know that you guys don't eat so." She stuttered

"Of course. It's very considerate of you."

"Just ignore Rosalie. I do." I put my hand on Edward's chest for him not to say anything

"Let's just keep on pretending like this isn't dangerous for us all."

"We would never tell anyone anything. Ever" Bells reassures them.

"Yeah, well. You four have gone public now."

"Emmett" Carlisle warned

"No, they should know that the entire family will be implicated if this ends badly."

"Badly as in we become the next meal." Bells said I smiled

"Bells I don't think that's the kind of bad."

"Hello Bella and Jackie. I'm Alice." Alice hugged me then Bella

"Oh you do smell good."

"Alice..."

"It's okay. We're going to be great friends. Bella and Me. Jackie and Rose." I heard a scoff

"This must be Cleo. You're guide dog. She's adorable." Esme cooed

"Cleo, say hello." She barked, Esme and Alice laughed

"I'm gonna take Jackie on a tour of the house."

"Same with Bella." I heard Jasper and we left.

"Cleo." he collar rattled as she followed us

"Was that as awkward for you as it was for me?" Edward asked. I laughed

"I didn't see their expressions, so I think I got of lightly." I traced my hand across the wall.

"Graduation caps?"

"Yeah, it's a private joke...we move around a lot." I nodded

"That sound miserable. High school, over and over again?"

"True, but the younger we start out, the longer we get to stay. Come on." he led me somewhere.

"This is my room." I went in and go t my fee of the place.

"No bed?" I asked

"No, I don't sleep." He told me.

"Whatever?"

"No, not at all." I went to the other side and felt lot's of cd's

"Quite the music fan. What are you listening to" He played the music.

"Debussy. Not bad."

"You know you're composers." I grinned

"I'm not just a pretty face." he laughed

"I sometimes listen to him when I meditate."

"You meditate."

"Hey I've been around you know. I don't need to be a vampire to know stuff."

"What do you mean by that." I bit my lip

"I hated going to schools that were made for me. The specials schools who make things and life easier. There was no challenge. I was difficult. But this one school, there was a teacher who gave me a challenge. I would go to normal school if I put up and shut up for a year. He was like my yoda. There is much more to me than meets the eye."

"I bet there is." I put my cane down.

"Come at me."

"What?"

"You heard me. Try to surprise attack me."

"You're insane"

"Thank you, love I'll take that as a complement. Edward. trust me." I relaxed and closed my eyes blocking everything but him out he sped towards me and I step to the right. He went right past me. He then came back I turned at the last second and grabbed his arm flipping him over.

"How, did you do that."

"I told you before you're not the only extraordinary person I've met."

"If you can do that why do you have a cane and Cleo."

"I don't like using that. It doesn't help me for everyday life. Not every day is a battle."

"My impossible girl.". Edward took my hand and slipped his arm around my waist.

"I'm a bad dancer. I think you should know."

"I could always make you not be one."

"I'm still not afraid of you." he chuckled

"You really shouldn't have said that. Cleo stay." there was a groan.
