Since I've written myself into a wall on one of my other fanfics... Enjoy an attempt to break my writer's block!

I don't own any of these characters as they belong to Miss Stephenie Meyer. Her amazing self lets us loyal fans borrow and play with them as long as we promise to put them back when we're done.

So! Without any further ado!

More Than Words - Chapter One - It Already Is Tomorrow

EPOV

Edward walked slowly into the dark, small room. He couldn't believed it had taken him so long to get here and he was tired from the seemingly endless journey. He mustered enough energy to make it to the bed along the far side of the wall. Feeling around on the bed caused the girl resting there to wake. She looked into his eyes. He leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"I told you I would always find you, my sweet darling, Rayne. I love you"

*Two years ago*

"Bells! We've got to go! What is taking you so long anyway?" Jacob, yelled up the stairs of my townhouse apartment.

"Just give me a minute!" I screamed back.

I knew I was running late for our lunch date with our parents, but I just felt gross and couldn't bear the sight of myself in the mirror. That time of the month rolls around and I want to crawl under a rock and die, but my father and step-mother would never let me hear the end of it if I wasn't there to welcome them back to the states from their honeymoon.

Charlie, our father, had been a emotional wreck since our mother walked out on us when I was five and Jacob was two. As far as the parenting parts went, Charlie handled them like a champ. Sure he made mistakes, but he quickly learned and recovered. It worked out in his best interest that I wasn't a girly girl so he could pass on typical boy behaviors and skills without dreading about the fashion and makeup talk afterward.

Charlie met Sue when I was fourteen. At the time she was married, but she took pity on us and would help Charlie out when he did need a mother figure present for us. For me especially when puberty starting taking itself out on my body. Sue and her husband, Harry, had two children, Leah, who was only one year older than me, and Seth, who was five years younger than me. When Harry died from a heart attack when I was nineteen, it was Charlie who was there for Sue and her kids as she had been there for us, so it seemed perfectly natural for the two of them to end up together.

On my twentieth birthday, Charlie proposed to Sue and they got married only five months later. It was a quiet ceremony with only twenty or so people in attendance in addition to our new family of six. All of us kids were excited to see the two of them together at last so we lucked out in that there was no step-sibling drama to be seen.

"BELL-A! Come on!" Jacob whined.

I finally had decided on a loose light blue peasant blouse and a pair of jeans. Grabbing my black ballet flats on my way by, I walked down the stairs.

"Seriously, Jacob? Are you starving or something?"

"You know I am!"

We quickly got into Jacob's car and sped to lunch.

"There they are. See, I told you they would be here soon. I can hear Jake's tummy rumbling from here!" Sue mused.

Lunch was good. My dad and Sue went on and on about their exciting honeymoon in the Bahamas. It was a good trip for them, one neither of them had ever had the opportunity for before, and they returned with the sun's reflection in their hair, skin and smiles.

While we were waiting for our dessert, I excused myself to go to the restroom. I finished up, washed my hands and stared at myself in the mirror. I could tell I was exhausted by the paleness of my skin and I'm pretty sure I saw bags under my eyes. I huffed and pushed the bathroom door open where I promptly thudded into something.

"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" I said as I realize that the something was a someone.

"I'm just fine. It's cool. It was an accident so do not worry about it," the man said.

His voice was like velvet. I was at a loss for words as I took in his appearance. He stood at least a foot over me but I could still see his blazing green eyes, perfectly crooked smile, chiseled jaw, dark mess of hair styled perfectly, obviously toned muscles-

"Are you okay, miss?" He asked with concern. I'm sure he caught me staring at him and my cheeks burned with embarrassment.

"I'm fine, just startled is all. It isn't every day you run into a hot- uh, someone like you," I stammered. I can't believe I almost called this god a hottie to his face. What is wrong with me?!

"Are you sure? We could get out of here and go someplace quieter to talk and I could make sure you really are okay."

Oh my god! Was he asking me out after I ran him down in the hallway? Stupid family and their stupid lunch date...

"I, uh, um, I'd love to," I paused. Shit. "But I'm here with my family on a lunch date and I can't really run out on them."

"That's totally cool. Why don't I give you my card and you can call me and we can hang out sometime? Anytime, okay?" He said as he handed me his card with his perfect fingers, but skillfully held onto my hand.

"Geez. That may be a problem for you because my favorite time to hang out with strangers is at three in the morning," I said sarcastically.

"Anytime," he affirmed as bent down and kissed the back of my hand. He looked back up at me before standing back up and the way the light caught in his eyes made my insides do flip-flops.

"Bella. That's my name. Bella Swan," I said clumsily.

"Edward Cullen. I hope to hear from you at three in the morning, Bella Swan."

He walked out the restaurant door, leaving me in a puddle of goo in the hallway. I composed myself as best I could and walked back to our table.

"Did you fall in? I was about to send a search and rescue team!" Jacob joked.

"Shut up, Jake."

And that was how I met Edward Cullen. I was immediately infatuated with him and when I called him at three that first morning, I knew I was already in love with him.

"I can't believe you actually called me this early in the morning," he said.

"I'm sorry. I probably woke you up. I just thought, ugh, I don't know what I thought. Just go back to sleep and I call at a normal time tomorrow," I rambled.

"Hey! It's cool. And it already is tomorrow so why don't we just talk now?" He said with a sexy, gruff voice.

We were on the phone together for hours. He eventually confessed that he had been waiting up, hoping I'd call anyway, so I didn't actually wake him up. We were both in college, but different schools. He was a senior so I joked about me being interested in an older man. We spoke extensively about our families. He was one of three kids and the youngest. His two older siblings were already married and his sister already had two kids of her own. He laughed and said his family called her fertile Mertile.

As the sun was coming up, I stepped out onto my porch.

"The sunrise is beautiful," I said, suddenly feeling peacefully tired.

"It definitely is."

After a few moments, he said, " Are you really?"

"Am I really what?" I asked, surprised.

"Interested in me?" He asked.

I may have been deliriously dreaming it, but I thought he sounded hopeful.

"Silly, Edward. I thought that would've been obvious by now," I joked.

"Good. Will you call me tomorrow? I really like talking to you," he expressed, again sounding hopeful.

"It already is tomorrow."
