Hi, I'm back! Okay, this is my first Twilight fanfic, from a true Twi-hard, and I'm Team Edward. *squee!* Anyway, here's this lovely one-shot…

Bella's POV:

I put down my copy of 'Wuthering Heights' and placed it on my purple comforter. It was about 10:00 p.m. , so Charlie had been asleep for an hour.

Getting up from my bed, I walked to my window and slowly opened it. I felt the cool, misty night air fill my bedroom with a pleasant aura that would have been perfect if a certain someone was in this room with me.

Suddenly, I heard the bushes rustle below my window and a dark figure climbing the tree. I slowly shook my head and smiled.

"I was wondering what happened to you." I said just loud enough to not wake Charlie.

"Hello, my sweet Bella." He whispered as he climbed through my window and gently shut it.

"How was your day at school while I was out hunting?" Edward asked me. I slightly blushed, remembering how he was constantly asking about my days, good or bad, when he wasn't around.

"Hmm…it was okay for the most part. No school shootings or homicidal psychopaths out to kill me." I couldn't help but laugh, as I referred to my tendency to find danger everywhere.

He sat down on my bed and I followed suit, sitting next to him as he wrapped his muscular arm around my small shoulders.

"I'm happy you had a good day, love." Edward whispered, gently stroking my left cheek with his thumb.

I snuggled into his chest and tried to stifle a yawn. He was always able to tell when I was tired.

"I think you're exhausted, Bella." He smiled that beautiful, crooked smile that I had come to love so much as he lifted my comforter off the mattress and put it around my body.

Edward lay down beside me as I laid my head against his broad chest. "Good night, Edward." I whispered to him.

"Sweet dreams, my love." He purred in my ear. Then he began to hum my special lullaby, the one that made me feel safe and protected. My brain felt numb as the exhaustion sunk in and I drifted.

Edward's POV:

As my lovely Bella slept beside me, her breathing slowly became softer and more relaxed. I enjoyed seeing her at peace with everything, as she should be.

She was an angel that was meant to grace Earth with her presence, while I was a monster from the depths of Hell, damned to feed on living things in order to satisfy my hunger.

Since I had known Bella, I knew that we were opposites.

Good and evil

Peace and chaos

Angel and devil

I had no idea in the slightest how I deserved this beautiful creature laying in my arms, but she wanted me, and I would never deny her anything.

Bella was my world, my life.

My reason for remaining here on Earth instead of Hell.

I raised my hand and gently stroked her cheek. "So beautiful…" I whispered in her ear, hoping she could hear me through her slumber. I kissed her forehead and wrapped my arms protectively around her soft, fragile body.

I'm here, my darling. To protect, cherish and love you for all my existence.

What do you think? I know, it's fluffy, but I did my best : )
