"You have no idea how it feels, Bells."
"What? You don't make any sense, Damon." Now I am really confused. What a confusing man. Had he really always been like this? He was completely different to what he used to be before the trip.
"I'm jealous Bella... I'm so f*****g jealous. I poured my heart out to you, and you turned me down by saying something about Nova. Then you are suddenly laughing and BEST friend with some dude you hardly know." He looked angry and frustrated somehow, which really didn't make any sense. What could he possibly be jealous of?
"I hardly know you, Damon."
"If you just give me a chance we can..." I cut him of before he did more damage than I could manage to repair.
"No Damon, I can't do that. This can never happen. I told you this. You have to understand that."
"Why?" I could see him clench his fist and he was staring to scare me.
"Because of Nova". I said almost in a whisper.
"Here you go again. What has this to do with Nova?"
"Well then. Because I don't like you in that way. Happy?"
"Your lying. I know you feel the same way."
"No Damon, you're wrong. I have never seen you in that way. I'm really grateful for what you did for me, saving my life and all that. But that's just gratitude, nothing more." I tried to walk away. Just get myself out of this situation and into the kitchen. But he blocked my way and started walking towards me, making me. I backed up so that I hit the wall with my back. f**k I was cornered.
"You can tell yourself that, Bella. But i know the truth, and you do it too.
"What do you mean?"
He came closer to me and slowly put his hand gently on my cheek. My body reacted on its own and made me lean in to his touch and closing my eyes, just focusing on the tingling, calming feeling. "This is what I mean. I know you can feel it. " I looked up at him and our eyes met. "I can feel it too."
"Damon.." I swallowed hard, trying to calm myself and in control. "I.. I.. I can't."
"Yes you can, you just have to rely on your instinct and trust me." I didn't know if it was because he was so close or the feeling that spread through my body that made me dizzy. I could feel myself starting to hyperventilate. What was happening to me, and why was it so hard to move away from him? It felt so right but still so wrong.
"You have to stop. If Nova sees us." I looked at him, then at the door, before looking at him again.
"Then what? What are you so afraid of? Me being her guard?"
"She has feelings for you, Damon, and I thought you had them too?" I managed to push out.
"I don't have any feelings for her, Bella, only you. Can't you feel it?" we kept looking at each other without any of us saying another word. The air was tense, and my mind was blank.
Suddenly, his phone started ringing, waking me from the trance. He looked at the screen and then at me again. "I have to take this." He didn't move away from me. He answered the phone with me practically in his arms. But yet missing his hands on me. "Yes? Ok. I'll be right there." He kept holding my eyes while answering and never looked away. "Sorry Bells, I have to go. But we will continue this conversation later." He started to back away from me before suddenly kissing my forehead. And my legs turned to jelly and heat spread from my forehead and to my entire body. "See you soon Bells."
