Forever
Edward looked at the beautiful brunette asleep next to him. He was always amazed at how tightly she clung to him despite his icy skin. The moonlight from the open window lightly tickled her face. And the breeze blew her scent to him, but he loved her too much now to ever even think of biting her. He placed a light and careful kiss to her temple. He loved Bella so much and would never want to hurt her. He tried to be as delicate as possible with her. He knew that one wrong move and Bella could be seriously hurt. He could lose her forever and he would never be able to live with himself.
But sometimes he just wanted to shake some sense into her. She was so careless with her life. Always running into danger. She even flew to Italy to try a save him. Edward sighed. If only Bella could understand he only lives to protect her to see her alive and well. Sometimes as much as he hated to admit it he had to agree with Rosalie. Bella seemed to want to just give up on life. Give up all of her opportunities. In reality every single one of his brothers and sisters, no matter how happy they may seem, would love to be normal. He would love to be normal and live happily ever after with her, to be able to have children with her and grow old with Bella. But all she wants is eternal damnation. She wants to throw her life away and become something cold and hard like him. She wants to be a monster. She doesn't know what it's like to have this feral animal inside and have to try to control it just to put on an illusion that you too are human.
But sometimes he could see it from Bella's perspective as well. Sometimes he too just wanted to be selfish and have Bella turned so then they could spend an eternity together. He wouldn't have to worry about Bella getting fatally injured or dying. They could easily be together without the fear of Victoria or The Volturi. It would just be him and Bella and his family forever. He wouldn't have to worry about other vampires of the dogs.
Edward shook the thought from his mind. He didn't want to entertain the thought of biting Bella because he didn't want Bella to continue thinking he would turn her. She didn't understand the fierceness that overcame him when hunting and that was only on animal blood. The thought of not being able to control himself with Bella's blood literally made him feel sick. Something that only happened when he had to eat food. Edward lightly caressed Bella's cheek as she stirred against him.
"Edward?" Bella asked slightly groggy from sleep. He looked down into her chocolate eyes and smiled.
"Yes?" he asked as a look of relief washed over Bella's face. She took a deep breath and sighed.
"I didn't know if you were here still. I thought you had left," she said keeping eye contact almost as if she blinked Edward would disappear.
"Calm down Bella. I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere," said Edward while lightly brushing a piece of hair out of her eyes.
"You promise? You promise you won't leave?" Bell asked, while positioning herself against Edward again.
"I promise. I'll stay for as long as you like," Edward replied.
"Forever?" Bella asked, her eyes slowly closing.
"Forever," Edward stated as he once again kissed Bella on the forehead and she drifted back to sleep.
