PicTeasers: Detente Chapter 1 by SqueakyZorro

“This is all your fault! If you would just stay out of my head for five minutes, you wouldn’t hear things you didn’t like.”

I knew responding in kind wouldn’t help anything, but I couldn’t stop myself. “I can’t just turn it off, Rosalie. It doesn’t work that way.”
“Well, no one said you had to comment—I was keeping my thoughts to myself, trying to be polite, but no!” she spat. “Mr. Edward I-Know-Everything Cullen couldn’t possibly withhold his wisdom! Wisdom—hah!”

“Your idea was completely ridiculous! How could you seriously consider—”

“Who said I was seriously considering anything? I was just thinking, Edward—just letting my thoughts flow. And it was none of your business anyway.”

She stalked off down the beach before suddenly halting. Whirling to face me once more, she extended one foot and drew a line in the sand.
“There. Pretend that line goes through the whole island. You stay on your side, and I’ll stay on mine. That’s the only way we’ll both survive this month with all of our limbs attached—not that I care about ripping yours off, but it would be nice for Carlisle not to find us in need of a doctor when he and Esme pick us up.”

I started to respond, but she raised a hand imperiously, cutting me off before running swiftly out of sight.

Summary

Edward and Rosalie had shared a mutual antipathy since Carlisle changed her and brought her home. When their bickering threatened to ruin the first real vacation he and Esme had ever taken, the couple decided they’d had enough: they left the bickering kids by themselves on a deserted island. A whole month with nothing to do but keep from ripping each other apart.
Rated M for lemons.
