Sparkle In Your Eyes

Chapter 1

Bella's POV

I sighed, slamming down my pen. I couldn't do this anymore. My hand felt like it was about to fall off, my butt hurt from sitting on it so long, and I was getting absolutely nowhere with my writing. Why the hell was it that everyone I got a good idea for a chapter, that it suddenly seemed stupid as I sat down and tried to copy it in my notebook? Where was all my inspiration?

I sighed I realized the answer to that question. It was gone with him. I felt my heart pull at the mention of him. Edward. The man who I had known for almost ten years now. The man that I had fallen in love with four years ago. I groaned. Thinking about him brought back a torrent of memories. I closed my eyes and let myself have it. The first memory was my favorite. The one that hurt the most to think about.

Three years ago

I drove into the parking garage for our apartment complex, and hastily parked the car. I grabbed the groceries and locked the car, before proceeding to scurry into the elevator. I pressed the button for my floor with my hip, and marveled in the warmth of the elevator.

It was February in Seattle, and the icy wind had turn my cheeks red, and the rest of my face abnormally pale. When the elevator finally reached the third floor, I stepped out and flung open the door to my apartment. My keys jingled as I closed the door with my hip. The apartment was warm and light.

" Hello? Edward?" I called. I waddled to the kitchen carrying all of the heavy bags, and set them down on the counter. I unraveled the scarf from around my neck, and shrugged off my coat. I hung them up, then began to unpack the food. Edward walked into the kitchen just then looking as beautiful as ever. Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me from behind. He rested his head on my shoulder as he whispered in my ear in a husky voice.

" Welcome home love." I shivered as his warm breath tickled my neck. I giggled and rested my head on top of his. He groaned at my cold skin.

" Bella. Your freezing! Here let me warm you up." Edward turned me around and engulfed me in a hug. He kissed my hair and squeezed me until I chuckled.

" Edward, you are going to kill me if you keep doing that! Be gentle!" I laughed. Edward grinned sheepishly.

" Well I can't help it if you are the most amazing, beautiful woman in the world. I need to show my affection for you somehow." He reasoned. I blushed. I hated it when he complimented me. It only made me feel even more self conscious. I pulled away from the hug.

" Alright mister. If you don't want the milk to spoil, then I suggest that you keep your hands to yourself. You know I can't concentrate when you do that. Its distracting." I said lightly. Edward smiled at me crookedly. I smiled back at him and resumed unpacking the groceries. Edward leaned against the counter and watched me put everything away.

When I finished I noticed that Edward was staring at me with an unfathomable expression on his face. I blushed and looked down.

" What? Why are you staring at me?" I asked him. He grinned at me and I blushed. He laughed and kissed me.

" You are so beautiful. " Edward murmured in my ear. I smiled gently at him and caressed his face in my hands. I softly ran my fingers through his silky locks, and watched with satisfaction as he closed his eyes and shivered with pleasure.

When he opened his eyes, I almost gasped. His emerald green eyes were filled with a passion so deep that I would have thought that it was love. Edward stared deeply into my eyes for few moments. I shivered. Edward snapped out of whatever trance he had been in before, and questioned me.

" Are you cold? Do you want my sweater?" Edward began taking of his sweater before I had a chance to speak. But I was too blown away by the sheer perfection of his body to notice or care. As he took of his shirt, I caught a glimpse of his smooth, pale abs. They weren't like Emmett's steroid abs, but more like lean abs. If that makes any sense. Edward caught me blatantly staring at him, and he smirked.

" Do you like what you see?" Edward snickered as I turned crimson. I snatched the sweater out of his hands and hurriedly buried my face in it to inhale the scent. Edward chuckled. I rolled my eyes and slipped the sweater on over my light blue tank top. All of a sudden I heard a rumbling noise. I frowned and looked around the room.

" Is that the dog?" I asked perplexed. Edward shrugged and looked away. I frowned and walked into our bedroom, only to find our dog Shelby cuddled up asleep on our bed. I smiled at the sight before walking back into the kitchen.

Edward's back was to me and he appeared to be munching on something. I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. I cleared my throat and Edward's jumped. He turned around. I burst out laughing when I saw his face. He had a piece of bread stuffed in his mouth, and he looked like a little boy caught stealing cookies before dinner. Which technically he was doing. Except I wasn't his mother, and he was stealing bread. Edward dropped the bread on the counter, and finished chewing the piece in his mouth. I laughed even harder until I had tears in my ears.

" Edward if you were hungry you could have just said so! It was your stomach wasn't? That rumbling noise? Ha ha! And I thought it was Shelby..." I said when I finally caught my breath. Edward grinned sheepishly.

" What? I was hungry and I didn't know if you were ready for dinner yet." He sounded so guilty that I had to hug him and kiss him.

" You are too adorable for your own good." I sighed. Edward laughed.

" I wouldn't be talking! You dazzle me all the time! I'm not the only one!" Edward teased. I rolled my eyes.

" Why don't you go clear off the table while I prepare dinner. " I said. Edward kissed me once more before cleaning the table off of all the various papers on the table. I started up the range and poured the soup in a pot. I cut up some warm bread, and poured two glasses of wine. Edward dimmed the lights a little, and lit the candles in the middle of the table.

The soup was done shortly, and I served it up in two bowls. Edward sat eagerly in his seat, and was literally bouncing as his sister Alice would do. I chuckled and set his food in front of him. He dug in. I grinned, and ate my own meal.

Later that night, Edward and I turned off the TV and made our way to the bedroom. Edward and I both changed into our pajamas and brushed our teeth, before diving into our bed. I cuddled up to Edward's side and he hugged me to his chest. Shelby kept our feet warm by sitting on the.

" Bella?" Edward said a little uneasily. I looked up at him in surprise.

" Yes?" I answered cautiously. Edward gulped and took a deep breath. I frowned. What did he have to say that was making him so nervous. He looked straight into my eyes.

" Bella, I... I know that you probably don't feel this way about me, and that its way to early for this, after all we have been dating for only a year. But I... I love you Bella. I love you much that it hurts. And if I were to ever lose you, god, I don't know what I would do with myself. I love you with every single fiber of my being." Edward looked so agonized by this confession, that I couldn't help the tears that spilled over my cheeks. I was embarrassed that I was crying, but so overjoyed that I cried even harder.

" Oh, Edward. I-I love you too." I stuttered. Edward's face broke into a glorious crooked smile, and he kissed me ardently. I kissed him back with as much passion as I could muster. When we both pulled away, we both saw similar looks of adoration and love in each others eyes. I smiled peacefully. I truly loved my life.

By the time I was done reliving my memory, my cheeks were streaked with tears. Why did he have to be so perfect? So beautiful that it pains me to even think about his name? I wished that he could be an arrogant, disgusting, crude man so that I could hate him. But I could never hate him. He was too much of a saint. I sobbed even harder as I thought of this awful truth. He deserved better than me. I was a plain nobody, and he was a handsome god. We were just never going to fit together in the same equation.

I might as well not even bother wishing that he would show up at the door begging for me back. I continued to cry. Shelby jumped up on the couch and began to whine. I stared at the golden retriever, and a new torrent of tears replaced the old one. Edward had bought Shelby as a birthday present our first year together as a couple. Everything in this damn apartment reminded me of him.

I had to get out of here. I sprang off of the couch and stormed to my bedroom in stubborn determination. I changed into Edward's favorite jeans of mine, and his favorite blue blouse of mine. I combed my hair angrily, and washed my face. I threw on a pair of the heels that Alice had bought me on one of her shopping meltdowns. What the hell, if I was going to do this, I might as well look good. I grabbed my black peacoat and wrapped a scarf around myself. I threw my hair in a ponytail, and grabbed my shoulder bag.

I stormed out of my apartment, and locked it hastily. I was too impatient for the elevator, so I simply trotted down the stairs instead. When I got outside, I decided I would take a walk around the city. I didn't know where the hell I was going, but I didn't care. All I cared about was getting out of here.

So? What did you think? Should I continue, or drop it? Let me know what you thought please! Oh, and just so you know, this is going to be a short story. Unless you all want me to make it a full length story...

REVIEW ME LOVES!
