Things have changed so much in ten short years. Ten very, short years. I see what Edward means when he said the days just blend together and waste away. How you don't even notice how fast time flies and your already seeing the sun poke its face up above the horizon. The years may have been short, but they were the most favorite years of my life. Watching Renesmee shoot up right before my very eyes. Almost like Jacob did. Actually, a lot like Jacob. He stays with Nessie most of the time; he literally is the lost puppy that follows her around all the time, its quite sweet really.
We are moving to Alaska, Jacob is tagging along. I was a tad angry, but after Edward explained to me what it would be like for Jake to be without his imprint, I gave in.
"Honey, we're here." His velvet broke my reverie. He still amazed e sometimes. Every time he touched me he still managed to make my breath catch, or steal it will his gorgeous crooked smile.
"I knew that, do we have to stay with the Denali coven, Edward?" I asked him, I tried to keep the venom out of my voice. No such luck.
"They just want to see Renesmee, after that when can leave and go find a house on the other side of town, how does that sound?" he whispered into my ear, making me shiver with delight.
"I suppose, Edward can you promise me something?"
"Anything for you, my one and only. What is it you need?" he asked. I peered straight into his eyes, looking to see anything that might give him away.
"Stay true to me, don't be with Tanya alone," I couldn't even bring myself to say the words. "And please, please keep Renesmee away from them, please?"
"What's the matter love?"
How do I explain this, how do I explain that I want them to stay from Renesmee as much as possible because I'm afraid she might take after them? How do I explain that I don't want him around Tanya because I don't trust her without sounding like a jealous teenager? This is beyond me.
"Bella, love, you know I can't stand not hearing your thoughts. So why don't you show me?" he asked.
I flexed the boundaries of my shield and pressed outwards. It felt liberating to be outside of my shield, like breaking free from a locked room. I showed Edward why I was so anxious. I showed him pictures of Tanya and then my thought of Renesmee running away with them. He tensed beside me a small growl escaping his lips. I showed him what I thought of Tanya, why I didn't want him near her and why he was to be with me when she was around.
"Why?" he whispered, I barley heard it.
I showed him, in my head; Tanya was leaning over him seductively, purring and kissing his neck. He tilted her head up and kissed her. He saw me walk in on them and turned to look at me with that crooked smile of his.
'Silly Bella, I love Tanya, not you. It was all just a game.' He said mocking me.
I couldn't concentrate anymore I started to break down. It was all so real in my head. He picked me up and set me in his lap. My body was racking with my tearless sobs.
"Oh Bella, you silly, little girl," he sighed, momentarily washing all my fears away. "I would never do that to you. You know I don't like Tanya." He murmured into my ear. I could feel his lips grazing my earlobe, sending a slight shiver down my spine. He nibbled harder when I didn't respond. "You know that don't you?" He whispered again. Lightly, he trailed his fingers up my arm and back down again. I was now glad I was on his lap, able to turn away without him noticing.
"Yeah I do, though sometimes, my imagination gets the better of me." I whispered, not trusting my voice to go any louder.
"Bella, please, look at me." He asked, his voice was soft, almost pleading with me to look at him. I could feel him staring at me. I didn't wan to move, but I knew and so did he that I would give in sooner or later. "Bella, love, please just look," he was pleading with me now. I still couldn't bring myself to look at him. He reached out to me slowly, cupping my cheek; he turned me to face him. I still didn't look though. I kept my eyes down, shifting in his lap slightly. "Bella." He murmured. I gave in it was futile to try and resist him. I stared straight at him, piercing his golden eyes to mine, as they flitted back and forth searching for anything that would give him away. We stayed like that for a few moments, until he broke the peaceful silence. "My love, please, please believe me when I say this, .You" he punctuated those here words with a kiss. "Always have, always will. I love only you, you are the only woman I have ever loved and will ever love, and do you not trust me?"
"Of cou—"I tried to say but he interrupted.
"Tanya—that succubus, has never, ever felt anything for me, besides lust. I have felt nothing towards her, never have, never will. I can see straight through her games" he tapped his head for emphasis. "She holds no beauty, even if she did, it could never compare your beauty. I promise, with my heart and soul, that I will never speak to Tanya without you being there." He reassured me.
"Thank you, Edward. You don't know how much that means to me." I whispered back.
"Oh, I think I have an idea" he smirked.
"C'mon we better get moving." I said as I climbed from his lap. Before I could get far he snaked his arm around my waist ad swept me off my feet in one clean motion.
I smirked back at him. So he thought he knew did he? I raised an eyebrow at him to question him. He just smiled, his eyes full of joy and love. What did I do to deserve him?
We stayed there for a while, just happy to be together in each others arms.
"C'mon love, we better get going. Esme will have our heads if we are late leaving. She wants us all to be their and looking like the perfect, now complete family that she knows we are." He said while walking me to the car.
"I love you, Edward, truly I do," I whispered. I still get the feeling that he doesn't understand just how much I love him. That I would do anything for him.
"I know sweetheart. I love you, too." He whispered against my ear.
He opened the car door for me and helped me in, still the gentlemen as always. He was around the other side and getting in a few milliseconds later. He started the car and started driving down the driveway. I glanced back at the huge white house that I still called home. Without turning round to face him I said, "Promise me, that one day, we will come back here?"
"Of course, anything for you, my love." He promised.
I watched the scenery fly past us as Edward drove away. I was really going to miss Forks. I'd miss the rain, the scenery, and most of all, I'd miss the meadow.
I was so lost in my thoughts I hadn't realized we had reached the airport until I heard Renesmee calling me.
"Hello, honey. How was the ride with Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper?" I asked.
"I'm coming with you next time, Mommy." She said menacingly.
"What happened?" Edward growled.
She ran up to her Father and wrapped her arms around him. He picked her up easily and cradled her to his chest. "She stopped at five different malls and nearly bought them all out! She made me try on so many clothes! It was horrible Daddy!" she fake sobbed.
Edward chuckled, all the earlier anger he had felt had disappeared. "Like mother, like daughter." He said.
