Even Angels Fall {Bella}

[isabella]

After Bella asked him if there was something wrong with her, in regards to him not being able to hear her thoughts, Liam told her that she was nothing short of perfect. He added that there was nothing wrong with her, and had no idea why he couldn't read her. Without saying anything, Bella had closed her eyes tight, and tried to have a thought that he could possibly hear. When Bella opened her eyes, she had asked if he had gotten anything, and she watched Liam shake his head, and heard him say 'no'.

She sat back in her chair, feeling like she had failed. But as Bella looked at Liam, listening to what he was saying, she then soon felt like she wasn't a complete waste of space after all. She then fiddled with her clothes. "Okay then. Since you put it that way." Bella gave him a small smile, then sighed a little. "So I guess you want to hang around me more, because of that then. So you can have complete quiet, when we are not talking?" Though Bella was liking the fact that she was feeling like she wanted to be with him all the time, even after this brief meeting.

Liam then spoke of there being many more things that he had to tell her. Bella sat and listened, hearing what his abilities were, and what he could do with them, and how he is as a person. She then sat forward, and placed her elbow on the table, resting her chin in her hand. "I get the speed, as I did see that one, and I have read that you would have strength. But the blood having the ability to heal, never knew that." The idea of him being cold brought her mind back to when her hand was near his, feeling that there was that coolness near her. "I did feel the coolness come off your hand before." She then rolled the idea of him never aging in her head. "And I understand the whole 'not getting old' thing. Really, you couldn't, what with being supposedly dead. When you are like that, all ideas of getting older would definately leave you."

Bella sat back, and folded her arms. "But I have to say that you look good for a supposed twenty-two year old." She then smirked a bit, then laughed a little. But then the thought of him staying young while she grew old crossed her mind, and then she felt a bit down then. He would be this beautiful person, while she grew old, and looked like her grandmother.

When Liam had told Bella that he found it welcoming not being able to read her because of the decades he had to endure listening to people’s thoughts he watched as she fiddled with her clothes and then she spoke saying if he put it that way and gave him a small smile. He didn’t say anything at that point just smiled at her, then she spoke again saying that she guessed he would want to hand around her more because of not being able to read her thoughts so he could have complete quiet. Liam smiled more warmly at her, “I do not deny that the peace and quiet when we are not physically talking is wonderful, but no that is not the reason why I would want to as you said it ‘hang around you more’, I would like to do that because I think you are wonderful and beautiful and I would very much like to get to know you more.” Liam said and gave her another warm smile hoping that he wouldn’t scare her with being so full on and forward but he just felt that it was best to tell her the truth of what he was feeling.

Liam had then began to tell her more about himself and what he could do and he smiled and nodded his head as she saw that she got the speed as she had seen it, and she had read about their strength, but questioned the healing properties of his blood, saying she never knew that. “Not all vampires’ blood can heal humans, but mine and my sister’s blood can heal a human and there are a few others out there whose blood can do the same thing, the healing properties can be more effective on a true love.” Liam explained as he looked deep into Bella’s eyes wondering if she may be his true love even though he had thought it was Alex, but he was never able to test the theory of his blood on her because she had the ability to heal herself.

She then commented on his being cold all the time and the fact he would never age. “Not every human welcomes the cold feeling, some say it reminds them of death, but then I guess it would since I am technically dead.” Liam said as he frowned slightly but smiled at the same time. Yes it was definitely a strange world he lived in, he was dead and yet he was alive, he was the living dead and it was often very difficult to explain that to anyone. “Believe me Bella there is nothing I would love more than to age, but if I had never been transformed into what I am, then I would never have met you and I have to say I think that would be a very sad thing indeed.”

He then watched as she sat back in her chair and folded her arms and then spoke some more saying that he looked good for a supposed twenty-two year old. He then caught that smirk and then she laughed a little after it. “Well thank you Bella, I suppose eternal youth will do that to you.” He laughed a little himself after saying that and then it looked to Liam as if Bella got a little sad and it was at that moment he wished he could read her thoughts to find out what she was thinking. He might not be able to read her thoughts but he could sense that she suddenly wasn’t so happy about something and it would seem to Liam it was connected to his not aging thing since that’s what they had been talking about.

“What is it Bella, what’s wrong?” He asked as he locked eyes with her and gave her a reassuring smile.

[isabella]

After Bella had asked him if he was wanting to hang around her more, due to not being able to read her thoughts, she caught that smile of his, and gave him a bit of one. She listened to what he had to say, and then bit on her bottom lip, then let her mouth open a little, hearing him say that he would like to do hang around her more because he thought she was wonderful and beautiful and he wanted to get to know her more. Bella absentmindedly licked her lips a little, and let out a bit of a breath. "Um... okay." What else could she say? Was she going to knock back a guy who seemed obviously into her? A guy who was very much older than her.

When Bella had said she didn't know about the healing properties, Liam told her about it, how not all vampires blood can heal humans, and that his and his sister's could. When Liam added at the end that the healing properties can be more effective on a true love, Bella really looked at him then. The next thing that she said really shocked her, "Well maybe one day you can test that theory out." Bella swallowed, then looked down at her hands. She couldn't deny that she was very much attracted to Liam, and was secretly glad that he had been the one to save her from that guy earlier.

After Bella commented about him being cold, and the most obvious one of him never ageing, Liam replied back. She nodded when he associated the cold with death, like some humans put it. Bella nodded, then listened as he spoke about the whole aging thing, saying that he would love nothing more than to age. Then the next thing he said made her look around a little in the room, then back at him. She knew he was right, he would have never met her. "So I guess I can take that as a compliment then."

Bella had then sat back in her chair, and then said that he looked good for a supposed twenty-two year old. After her laughing a little, Liam replied, thanking her, adding that eternal youth will do that to you. She smiled at him, but then her thoughts went to the fact that he would stay forever young while she aged, and in a way didn't like the thought of that. Soon Liam's voice broke through her thoughts, and she slowly looked at him. She shook her head, "It's nothing, really. It's kind of silly, as I just met you."

Bella lent forward, placing her arms on the table, and then rested her chin on her hands, which were laying flat on the table. She knew she had to tell him, as he had no way of knowing what she was thinking. "I just... I thought of you staying the same age, while I grow old, looking like my grandmother. But it's silly. I have no idea why I was thinking like that. I only just met you. Who knows what will happen between us."

[liam]

After Bella had asked if Liam wanted to hang around her more due to it being quiet around her when they weren’t physically talking he had given her a warm smile and he saw the smile she gave him in return. He had then said that as much as couldn’t deny the silence was welcoming, that there were other reasons he wanted to be around her more saying that she was wonderful and beautiful and had given her another warm smile. He saw her bite down on her bottom lip slightly and then replied saying okay. Liam hoped he hadn’t embarrassed her by saying what he had, but he was only speaking the truth. “I hope I did not embarrass you by saying what I said Bella.” He was going to add that he was only speaking the truth, but felt that it wouldn’t have really helped the situation any if he had indeed embarrassed her.

Liam had then spoken about the healing properties of his blood and explained that not all vampires could heal with their blood but he and his sister could adding that it was more effective on a true love. He saw Bella look at him then and spoke saying that maybe one day he could test that theory out. Liam ran a hand through his hair softly and continued to smile at Bella as he locked his eyes with hers. “I would very much like to test that theory, but I would hope that I would never have to use my blood to heal you as I would hope that you would never be hurt.” Liam sighed a little then thinking how sad it would be if he were to hear that Bella was hurt badly.

As Liam spoke of the fact that he would never age and how he wished he could but added that if he hadn’t been transformed into what he was he would never have met Bella he saw her look around the club and then her eyes fell back onto Liam again and she spoke saying that she would take what he said as a compliment. He smiled warmly at her, “Yes Bella, it is most definitely a compliment.” The attraction that Liam was feeling for Bella was continuing to grow along with the feeling of sheer contentment and the more he felt that way the more amber his eyes were becoming.

Bella had then sat back in her chair making a comment that he looked good for a supposed twenty-two year old and she had laughed a little. Liam had thanked her adding that eternal youth would do that to you and laughed a little too. He saw that smile of hers one which he was growing to love more and more and returned it with a warm smile of his own. Then it seemed to Liam that Bella had gotten a little sad about something and having an idea it was the whole age thing he had questioned her asking what was wrong. She replied saying it was nothing and it was silly as she had just met him, but Liam shook his head slightly giving her a reassuring smile and replied, “Trust me Bella, I can guarantee that I will not find it silly.”

He then waited to hear what she was going to say as she sat forward and rested her chin on her hands as she spoke saying she had been thinking of him staying the same as she grew old looking like her grandmother. He had been right with his assumptions before, she had been thinking of the age thing. Liam gently took one of Bella’s hands in his own, “I know that we have only just met and I do not know the extent of what you may or may not be feeling, but I can tell you that my own feelings have gradually risen while being in your company, and I have to say that I know you will still be beautiful when you are older, and I believe that I will love you unconditionally no matter what.” Liam had then let out a breath realising that he had just used the word love, but that’s exactly what he was feeling, he was more than sure of it.

[isabella]

Bella looked at Liam, as he said that he hoped that he didn't embarrass her by saying what he said to her. She slowly shook her head, looking at him, eyes blinking once ever so slowly. "No. You didn't embarrass me as such. I just never had a guy speak of me that way, that is all. I... yeah, never." Bella felt like her sentences didn't make sense, but she hoped that he got what she was getting at. Really, Liam was going to be her first in a few things it seemed. First older, much older, guy who was obviously into her, and first guy, or person, to tell her that she was beautiful, and not say it to get into her pants.

When Bella mentioned the fact that he might have to test his theory about how blood worked more so for a true love, she listened to what he said. When he had run his hand through his hair, she wondered what he was thinking, as she would give anything to have that kind of ability, but only for certain people, Liam now being one of those people. After Liam spoke, Bella looked down at the table, "Well I can't guarantee that I would never be hurt. After all I am only human." She gave him a weak smile, thinking that he was so much more superior to her, what with being undead and beautiful.

Bella hadn't meant to look or feel down, but the idea of her growing old, and Liam staying forever young got her down a bit. He had questioned what was wrong, and Bella made the comment that it was nothing, and it was silly. She swallowed a little as Liam shook his head, and said that he could guarantee that he would not find it silly. So Bella told him, and he soon replied to what she said. Liam took her hand, which made her sit up a little, and looked at his hand holding her own. His skin was like porceline holding her own, smooth, but cold. Though it didn't feel so cold now, like it was before, even if it hadn't been physically touching her own. It was like she was used to it already. Used to the coldness of his gentle touch.

As Liam spoke, Bella found herself not being able to look away from his gaze. The words that he spoke flowed into her mind, letting them roll around, absorbing every single word, until they felt part of her. Bella felt like she was almost dreaming, just fixed on what Liam was saying, feeling her tongue slowly move around in her mouth, which was somewhat parted. Hearing his last words was like music to her ears. It felt real, but then it didn't. Liam was obviously affixiated with her, and in some ways, Bella knew she was too.

Bella was normally the rebel, and would have taken Liam somewhere already to have her way with him. But no, it didn't seem right, didn't seem appropriate. Liam was from another time, and Bella felt she had to respect that, despite how she was personally with guys. Liam was like no other guy she had ever met, and it was nice. Bella felt her face relax, and felt her mouth turn slightly in a smile. "Well, I won't deny not having feelings for you Liam. I will say though I feel like a different person with you, a good one, one that I am sure you would rather see than the one I am normally." It felt like the person she normally was, was a very childish one, but really she was still a teenager, so it was only to be expected.

Bella shook her head, and put her hand up to her head, "Okay. I think I am all done with the serious talks. How about some fun?" She put on a brighter smile, and wondered what Liam wanted to do. But then she remembered, "Unless you have to get back to work, as you were behind the bar earlier."

[liam]

When Liam had said he hoped he hadn’t embarrassed Bella by saying what he had said, he saw her shake her head slowly and then she spoke saying that he hadn’t embarrassed her as such just that she had never had a guy speak to her like that before and then seemed to struggle to get her sentence finished. Liam just continued to look at her, with his eyes gazing into hers and smiled softly, “Well I am sorry that you have not had anything like that said to you before, I believe that you should have things like that said to you all the time. But I feel honoured and glad that I was the one to say them to you.” He gave her a warmer smile then.

When Bella had said that maybe he could test the theory of his healing blood being more effective on a true love with her at some point, Liam had replied saying that he hoped that he would never have to do that as he would never want for her to get hurt, even though he knew that that was a virtually impossible thing to think. Every human gets hurt in one way or another at some point in their lives. He saw Bella look down at the table and then said that she couldn’t guarantee she would never be hurt because she was only human. “I know that Bella and if I have to, then of course I would use my blood to heal you, I just would not like to think of it, but I know that it will only be inevitable for you get hurt at some point.” His voice was so soft and he sighed gently after saying those words knowing that the moment he saw her hurt it would hurt him too in more ways than one.

When the conversation had turned to Bella being upset about growing old while Liam stayed the same he had taken her hand and spoken to her telling her that he would still see her as beautiful regardless of her age and that he knew he would love her unconditionally no matter what. He saw that she was gazing at him and really listening to what he was saying to her and he hoped that she was taking it in and believing it. Soon enough Liam saw that Bella seemed to be relaxing somewhat and then he saw that smile appear on her face which made him give her a warm smile back. When Bella spoke to Liam it made him smile all the more as he loved what he was hearing her say although he frowned slightly at the end of her comment about how he would prefer to see the different person she felt she was with him than the one she normally was. “I cannot imagine you being any different Bella.” He replied but it did make him wonder what she was referring to when she spoke of the person she normally was however he wasn’t going to ask as he was sure if she wanted him to know she would tell him.

Then Bella put her hand up to her head shaking it slightly and spoke saying she was done with the serious talks and how about fun. Liam wasn’t against the idea of fun, he had a feeling he knew what he could do with regards to a bit of fun, before he could answer though she then asked if he had to get back to work. Liam looked at Valentino and snapped his fingers and he came toward him and Bella. “Valentino, will you be fine to take over in here for a while please?” Valentino nodded his head and then winked at Liam as he side glanced toward Bella and then broke out into a grin, “Sure Liam, course I can.” He walked off shaking his head and Liam just looked at him and rolled his eyes slightly and then turned back to Bella.

“I am not sure what kind of fun you were intending Bella, but I am all yours now so to speak, I wonder if you would like to see one of my abilities in action properly?” He asked but without waiting on an answer he took Bella’s hands and gently pulled her to her feet and then he flipped her onto his back and turned round to look at her and grinned, “You said earlier you were not afraid, well, hold on tight.” He then made his way out of the bar with Bella on his back using his excessive speed which gave the effect of almost flying through the air as he continued to take her into the countryside of Manhattan and eventually took her up to the top of one of the tallest trees and then holding her firmly in his embrace so she wouldn’t fall he turned to her, “You get a wonderful view from here.”

[isabella]

Bella felt like she was looking on the outside, but knew she was the one that was there in this scene of obvious infatuation and trust. Just hearing Liam then say that he was sorry she had not had anything like what he said, said to her before, and that he believed that she should have things like that said to her all the time, made Bella sigh slowly and gently to herself. She knew she deserved good things, but this was like she was living a dream. But it was all real, and she didn't have to wake up as she was already in reality. "Well in a way I am happy it is you." Really, Bella hadn't had a good track record with guys, though it seemed that Liam might be the one to turn that around.

Hearing Liam speak more about having to use his blood on her, and how it would be inevitable for her to get hurt at some point, made her wonder how it would feel. She supposed if she was in pain, then the blood healing her would help that, and it would be like nothing had happened. "Well I will have to make sure that nothing happens to me then." Bella was one to get in a few scraps, and hoped that if something serious happened, that Liam would be there.

After Bella had made the comment about how he would prefer to see the different person she was with him, rather than the one she normally was, Liam then commented that he could not imagine her being any different. "Well I am. But that person seems to have gone into hiding right now." Bella crossed her arms, like she always did when she got defensive. Not that she was trying to be with Liam, but this was the other person coming out in her. "Sorry," Bella said quietly. "Now you have seen a part of me that I thought had been hidden. Oh and I can be rebellious, like any other teenager."

Soon enough Bella had enough of the serious talk, putting her hand up on her head, and then spoke of having fun. She then remembered that he had been working, and asked if he had to go back to work. Bella waited to see what he said, but then she saw him snap his fingers, and the guy from behind the bar came over. She soon knew that his name was Valentino, and Liam asked if he would be fine to take over the club for a while. He nodded, saying 'sure', then walked off. Bella frowned after him, wondering why he was shaking his head, then disregarded it, and looked back at Liam.

Bella smiled at what Liam said, and wondered what fun she could muster up. But then Liam said that he wondered if she would like to see one of his abilities in action. Bella opened her mouth, when Liam took her hands, and gently pulled her up on her feet. She quickly wriggled her hand out of one of his, and quickly grabbed her bag, swinging it over her shoulder, then grabbed his hand again. Liam then put her on his back. Bella listened to what Liam said, and her eye grew a little wide, as he told her to hold on tight. She instinctively grabbed a hold of his body, wrapping her arms around him, holding tight.

Then Liam moved. He moved quite quickly, and Bella had to squeeze her eyes shut in order to not look where they were going. Everything around them was going so fast, too fast for her liking, and soon enough she felt like they had stopped. Bella kept her eyes firmly shut, then heard Liam speak, and felt her body was in his arms. Bella swallowed a little, then slowly opened her eyes. She gasped, keeping her arms firmly around his body. Bella looked around, and had to agree that the view was pretty good.

She turned her body a little, still keeping at least one arm around Liam, and used her other hand to hold the trunk of the tree. Bella felt herself relax a little, taking in the scenery, and the obvious view. She slowly looked at Liam, and smiled a little. "Well, you have to know this was not the sort of fun I was thinking of." She looked at the view again, and spoke more. "This is going into my top ten things that I have done in my lifetime." Bella turned to Liam, "And so is this." She then lent in, kissing Liam.

[liam]

When Bella said that she was glad it was him who was telling her all these nice things about her he locked eyes with her again and gave her a warm smile, “And I am happy also Bella.” He replied speaking in his soft voice, she was most definitely captivating him, no female had ever quite done that so quickly before although he wasn’t complaining. But inside was screaming out that she was the one, she was his soul mate. Maybe she was but in vampire terms soul mate meant both parties being vampires and Bella was obviously not a vampire. Could a vampire and a human be soul mates for the rest of the human’s life? He figured that to be a yes, since true love and soul mate was more or less the same thing and he was pretty certain that Bella was his true love. She was the one he had been waiting for.

When Bella said she would have to make sure nothing happened to her, he smiled at her, “That would be wise but even the best of us can get hurt from time to time so I will just have to make sure that if you do happen to hurt yourself badly that I sense it and be by your side as quickly as possible and heal you.” The idea of Bella being hurt didn’t sit well with him but he knew that it could and probably would happen at some point.

When Liam had said that he couldn’t imagine her to be any different to the person he was seeing in front of him he had to hold back a chuckle as she then went into a slight defensive manner saying that she was and she must be in hiding right now. She then folded her arms across her chest and then she apologised saying that he had now seen a part of her she had been trying to hide and that she could be a rebellious teenager. Liam kept smiling at her and just shook his head gently, “Bella, when you love someone, you love everything about them, that is just another part of you that I will learn to love, trust me.” He then grinned at her, the type of smile Liam seldom gave but Bella was bringing it out in him and he also realised that he had used the word love in reference to Bella so easily, but then that’s what he was feeling, he was sure of it.

After Bella had mentioned about having fun, Liam had replied about showing her one of his abilities in action and had gently pulled her to her feet. Bella had wriggled her hand out of his quickly and grabbed her back before taking his hand again. However Liam hadn’t wasted any time then in flipping her up onto his back and telling her to hold on tight and he saw her eyes grow wide which made him grin all the more. He soon felt Bella wrap her arms around his body firmly and then he began to soar through the streets and buildings and trees, using his excessive speed to the extent of flying to take them up to the top of one of the tallest trees in the countryside of Manhattan.

Liam held onto Bella firmly and then spoke saying that you get a wonderful view from where he had taken her and wondered if she would open her eyes to look. He then watched as she opened her eyes slowly and then he heard her gasp slightly and continued to keep a firm hold around his body. Soon enough he felt her move slightly but could feel that one arm was still around him but he had both his arms securely around Bella. Bella then looked at Liam and smiled a little and then said that he had to know that it had not been the sort of fun she had been thinking of. Liam grinned at her, “I did not think so, but you have to admit that it is a great adrenaline rush?” He asked and then Bella continued to talk some more saying that she was adding it to her top ten things she has done in her lifetime. Liam grinned at her again, “Well it is pretty awesome to be this high up in a tree.” Then Bella turned to him and said so is this and the next thing he knew she had leant in to kiss him.

Liam couldn’t help but kiss her back, but as he did so he felt his fangs starting to come out, not because he wanted to bite her, far from it, but because the feel of her lips on his was turning him on so much that it was bringing out the inner vampire. After a few seconds he pulled away looking into her eyes with his own as amber as they can get, “I am sorry, I hope that you will not mind that this will happen when we kiss, I would never hurt you on purpose I need you to know that, but these will come out when, well when...” He trailed off not being able to say the phrase for fear of embarrassing Bella, but that’s what the kiss had done to him, it made him hungry for her, not for food, but for passion.

[isabella]

After Bella had gone off saying that she was different, but then apologised for how she had acted, then said that she could be a rebellious teenager. She saw him smiling at her still, and wondered what he was thinking of her now. But then he spoke, and her heart began to melt a little. Without thinking Bella looked at Liam, and whispered, "I trust you." She had never felt this way about any guy, let alone a very old guy, who just happened to look twenty-two.

After Liam got them to the top of the tree, he had spoken, and Bella slowly opened her eyes, then gasped at where they were. She kept her grip on him, so that she wouldn't fall, though moved to see the view more. The feel of his arms around her made her feel safe, and she looked at him, seeing that smile of his, and then said that this was not the sort of fun she had been thinking of. He replied, grinning at her, and she half laughed nervously at what he said. Bella was all for adrenaline rushes, but this was just mind blowing. After she said that she was adding this to her top ten things that she has done in her lifetime, Liam grinned at her again. Bell raised her eyebrows a little, then said that this was also going on her list, and kissed him.

As Bella kissed him, she could feel him kissing her back. But then she felt something grate on her lips a little. She wondered whether Liam was one of those guys who also liked to nibble as well. Liam then pulled away after a moment, and then looked into her eyes. She felt like she was in a trance, like what she was doing was not real, but if felt real to her. Liam then apologised, and as he spoke, she soon realised what he was talking about. So it was his fangs that were coming out to play, so to speak, as he kissed her. Then he trailed off after talking, and got the idea of what he was getting at. Bella nodded. "Okay. I had a thought when I felt something, that maybe you were one of those guys who liked to nibble." She grinned, then leaned into Liam, feeling like she was truly in love with him.

(ooc - I am not sure whether this will be ending soon or now.)

[liam]

{ooc - reckon that Liam's will end it - if you agree, just let me know if I have to mark it off }

When Liam had told Bella that when you loved someone you loved everything about them and that her rebellious streak would just be another part he would learn to love he wasn’t sure what she would have said or would do to what he had said, because he had used the word love so easily. Then Bella looked at him and whispered that she did trust him. This made him smile warmly at her because it was nice to hear her say that especially when he knew that she was meaning what she was saying because Liam didn’t go for any of this compelling business often, and especially not on humans you wanted to trust you naturally.

Liam had then used his excessive speed ability to take Bella into the countryside of Manhattan up to the top of one of the tallest trees. Well she had said she wanted some fun, and he thought this was fun as well as an adrenaline rush. When he spoke to her and mentioned about it being a great adrenaline rush she didn’t say anything but she did half laugh a little and he decided to take that as a good sign. The view really was remarkable from this great height. When Bella has spoken of her list of things she had done in her lifetime saying she was adding it to the list she had then said and so was this and had kissed Liam. The kiss felt good and natural, but the fact that Bella had turned him on with the kiss had brought out his fangs which he knew would tease at her lips and mouth a little.

So he had gently pulled away apologising and asking if she would mind that this would happen when they kissed. He wondered what she would say to that but soon she was nodding her head and then replied saying, okay and that when she felt something she just thought he was one of these kind of guys who liked to nibble and saw that grin of hers making him smile brightly back at her but shaking his head slightly. “No Bella, I would not do that, at least not on purpose like I said.” He followed this with a slight chuckle knowing that she was sort of teasing him about it and then she leaned into him and for the first time for as long as he could remember Liam felt like he was in love for the first time and like he had actually met his soul mate, she just happened to be human.
