Edward Scissorhands Smile Novels & Stories

He slowly turned my hand over, exposing the pale skin along the inside of my forearm. His thumb rested lightly against my pulse. Feeling the frantic rhythm racing beneath my skin. Then he looked back into my eyes. It was the smile of a man who had just found the first piece of a puzzle he'd been searching for. "You know," he murmured softly, "your heartbeat tells a far more interesting story than your mouth ever does." “The real Eileen Hayden has a crescent-shaped scar right here.” His thumb hovered just beneath my wrist. “From a training accident when she was twelve. Her father told me himself. Said it was the one thing she was ever ashamed of.”

What has she done to make her smile like that? "Let's go," Ellis exacted his hand to me like a gentleman and I took it, holding his hand tightly as we walked to the house. My wolf stirred in my head as my heart pounded against my chest at an incredible pace at the scent we were picking up. I froze in my tracks when my eyes connected to two warm mesmerizing familiar gray eyes. Edward

Regardless of who hears me, I don't give a damn anymore. I braced myself as I feebly limped towards the stairs and heard footsteps, followed by the cracking sound of the trapdoor. I grinned like a lunatic, clenching tightly onto the sharp pair of huge scissors in my hand and hiding them behind me. As soon as Santi’s nasty face greeted me, I smiled even more and waved my hand at him. It’s now or never.

And somehow… That smile was far more terrifying than the gun in his hand. “So good to see you again…” He tilted his head slightly, his eyes glinting in amusement. “Little birdy.”

Sophia lifted her head off his chest and offered a watery smile. He pressed a kiss to her forehead, caressing her face slowly. She leaned into his hand against her cheek, bringing her hand up to touch his hand when her fingers came in contact with the scar on his wrist. She ran her thumb over it and gave him a questioning look. His eyes hardened but he didn’t look away like he usually did when he tried to avoid deeper conversations. “It was a knife. A plastic knife.”

“So… if you don't mind sharing. Tell me more about your sister and why your parents chose her. We are friends now, aren't we?” Edward smiled, “You have your way with words but yeah, we're friends now.” he stretched his hand forward this time and Luci took it, then she winked to ease the moment. She laughed when she saw his expression and noted that he has a beautiful smile. He chuckled lowly with his eyes without making a sound.

Smith laughed and apologised as he rubbed the spot Gunner smacked. Gunner moved his hand to Smith’s neck and leaned forward again. “Smith?” Gunner called and Smith stopped giggling and stared back at him. “Is your right hand itchy?” Gunner called, his voice like ripples over a still pond. So gentle and captivating, I found myself leaning closer. Smith’s face blanked and he nodded. “It is” he answered in an emotionless voice, which was a little disturbing coming from the usually happy-go-lucky Smith. “You can scratch your hand now, Smith” Gunner’s voice carried softly through the room. Smith immediately lifted his hands and began to scratch at the back of his right hand.

His scent—distinctly masculine—was more assertive than I remembered from high school. Being caught in this situation by him left me feeling awkward, and the close proximity made me uneasy. But I knew better than to let pride get in the way of what was best for me. Smiling politely, I nodded. “Then let’s do as you suggest, Mr. Scott. Sorry to trouble you.” It was obvious Liam was acting out under the pretense of being drunk. The moment Edward arrived, his demeanor shifted entirely. His expression changed in an instant, seamlessly replaced by a polished, ingratiating smile.

"Then what is it?" Silence settled over me, goosebumps prickling on my skin. I rested against the cold metal of the door, arms crossed as I waited for him to answer. "It's the meeting..." He murmured, "That's all. Can we go now?" "Yes." *** Edward's smile was polite, charming even, but it didn't reach his eyes. I knew better. I have seen him truly smile before, though it's rare. When he's genuinely happy, his eyes crinkle at the corners, disappearing into crescent shapes. It's a sight that stuck with me for years, even now.
