I woke up suddenly, I could've sworn I was dreaming. how else could I explain the vision of perfection in front of me.
"Hello" he said before lowering his lips to mine and pressing against them lightly. I had no choice but to react. Such a feeling is
impossible to contain. He pulled back far too soon smiling as he did so.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing, today just couldn't be any more perfect, that's all." I blushed, obviously, how could I not. My angel's smile grew wider, but somehow his eyes twinkled slightly differently from how I was used. Was that desire I saw? Naw, no way. Edward, Mr. self control could NOT have the hots for me. ME! Of all people! C'mon that's just impossible. Yet...there it was as he smiled my favorite crooked smile.
"What are you thinking?" he asked. His question caught me off guard and only brought on another round of profound blushing, making me hide my face against his chest. If he actually had any inclination as to what I was thinking I'd probably explode with embarrassment.
When I finally looked back at him he'd stopped chuckling and was gazing straight back at me. I couldn't believe that after all we'd been through he still dazzled me. " Breath love" he whispered while pressing his lips against my forehead .
For a while we just layed there. Not that I was complaining. If it weren't for the fact that I was physically unable of not eating and had other human needs, I would be content to just be in his arms and gaze into his eyes forever...Sadly, I AM human,although hopefully not for long. Finally after a time that didn't seem long enough, he spoke.
"Bella, darling, you should probably eat, remember we have a plane to catch in a couple of hours. You don't want to stand Renee up at the airport now do you? That won't really help our cause any. " As he said that I broke out of my stupor and the past week suddenly came flashing back. The meadow, the promise, Edward breaking the deal (suddenly his gaze this morning made sense), the car ride, telling Charlie...CHARLIE!!!! Oh. My. GOD!! Charlie...ughhhh...I cringed further in Edward's arms as I remembered that afternoon...
