I snuggled close to my angel as he sang my lullaby. His scent was overwhelming. Every moment it threatened to over take me and cause me to slip into unconsciousness. Once it filled my senses I forgot about everything except that he was holding me with his cool strong arms. For now, that was all I really needed.
"Edward?" I began to question him and then stopped making sure that it was okay.
"Yes." He seemed so comfortable; just like me.
"Will you be at school tomorrow?" I waited. I felt my breath begin to catch. I really didn't want to have to be without him again. It had been sunny for the last four days. Definitely unusual weather for Forks. Even worse Mike had followed me around like I was his guide dog or something. Simply because he had the privilege of knowing that Edward wasn't at school to see. Although you can bet I wasn't the one that gave him that privilege.
"Yes, unless Alice is wrong; but once again I wouldn't bet against her." Without seeing him I could almost hear my favorite crooked smile play across his lips.
"Neither would I." I answered him allowing a smile to sneak across my own lips. Of course Alice would always be right, but I also wanted her to be right.
"So what are we going to do after school?" I asked. Hopefully we could just go to his house and be together, but that was unlikely. Now-a-days if Edward isn't wasting money on me, Alice is. It feels like everyday they buy me at least one new outfit. I hate it when they do that. I wear the clothes, don't get me wrong, but I could really do with out all of their incessant shopping.
"You'll see." He told me. Once again his smile was almost audible.
"Edward, you know how much I hate surprises." I sighed.
"I'm sorry, but you will just have to wait and see." He told me lightly kissing my forehead. "Now sleep, we have school tomorrow."
I wanted to jump up and down at his words. I know it is very childish but he just guaranteed me he would be here tomorrow, something I often don't get. Yes, he tells me he will stay as long as he is wanted, but I think he will stay only as long as it is what's safest for me. He doesn't have a clue that if he ever left me I would die. Maybe not physically, but definitely internally. More than likely I would actually die if he left, I would have no reason to live, if he were gone, it would be like waiting for eternity to end by yourself.
"Okay." I told him snuggling up even closer to his bare chest. Edward now lays with me with his shirt off because he has found it soothes me better but he does still "sleep" in flannel pajama bottoms.
Before I knew what hit me I was asleep.
"Bella, Bella wake up. Come on you have to get up before we're late." I heard a soothing voice and knew immediately who it belonged to.
I rubbed my eyes and went to stretched. But when I shot my arms out I found I had gotten entangled in the sheets and began to fall off the bed. I was waiting for the impact of the floor, but it never came. Instead I was wrapped in cool arms and once again a scent that was so pleasant I forgot what happened.
"What am I going to do with you, Bella." He laughed.
"Huh," I snapped out of my momentary estate. "Oh, well, I suppose you will just have to hold me forever and never give me the chance to fall again." I giggled. That was actually what I wanted for the rest of my life and longer.
He laughed. "Well, we have a little bit of time to spare." He informed me while carrying me over and sitting in the rocking chair.
"I love you, Bella." I heard.
"I love too, Edward." I looked up into his face and smile.
He lightly pressed his lips to mine and we sat there like that for a minute before I wanted to deepen the kiss but was afraid that it might push him too far. I settled for letting him hold me and kiss me. Eventually the only reason we broke apart was because I had to breathe.
"I can't wait until we can do that with out me having to be the one that has to breathe." I smiled up at him.
"Bella, " He warned. We had gone through this at least a hundred times and every time he got mad. So I decided not to push it any further.
I jumped out of his arms and to my surprise, I'm sure to his as well, I didn't fall. I skipped across the room and grabbed my toiletries and mutter "Human moment." before skipping into the bathroom.
Once I reached the shower I turned on the water and made it warm but not too warm. Like routine the water relaxed the tense muscles in my body. Edward seemed to do that to me just by his breath.
I dried my hair and ran a brush through it but this was hopeless so I threw it into a bouncy bun on top of my head and threw on a light blue long sleeve shirt and blue jeans. After one glance over in the mirror I threw open the door to reveal my smiley Edward.
"Ready?" He asked me.
"Uh-huh." I answered breathing in his wonderful smell.
"Good." His smile grew even wider if that was possible and threw me over his shoulder. Something that once again left me a tab bit breathless.
"Edward, put me down now. I am capable of walking." I squirmed hoping that would make him put me down but that was useless. He seemed unfazed.
"Actually, my Bella, is quite clumsy and I would rather not end up in a hospital today." he chuckled at his own words and sat me down in one of my kitchen chairs. I was thrilled that he called me his but crossed my arms over my chest and scowled.
"Now, what would the human like for breakfast this morning? Eggs? Waffles?" He still had that stunning smile plastered across his face.
"Actually the human will have a breakfast bar." I stated getting up and grabbing a bar. I was pretending to be mad at Edward, but he saw through the act.
"Okay, I guess." He told me replacing the smile with a confused frown.
"Bella, my angel, are you mad at me." In an instant he had placed his chin on my shoulder and his face was beside mine. I could here the smile in his voice. He knew he was winning.
"I was trying but with you breathing in my face, it is very hard. Now let's go before you make us late." I grabbed at his arm.
"Fine." He sighed. I grabbed his hand and pulled him out the door which was relatively easy, but I know if he had not agreed to go we would still be in the kitchen.
Once in the car it was a quiet car ride. Then when we got to school I remembered something that we had discussed last night.
I shut the car door and then asked him, "So are you going to tell me where you plan on taking me after school now?" Although I knew it wouldn't be that easy.
"Now Bella, if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise would it." He looked down at me as we approached the building.
"Exactly, which is why I want to know." I smiled at him.
"No Bella, you will find out soon enough." He was being so mean.
"You know some days I wish I was the one that could read minds." I retorted softly. After my comment was said I scowled and looked down.
"Bella, what did the ground do to you." It was Mike and he was approaching one side of me while Edward was on the other.
"Beat it, Newton." Edward eyes were flaming and the thought "If looks could kill" popped into my head.
"No, Bella, is my friend too Cullen, and there is nothing you can do to change that." He smirked.
"You want to bet." Edward was ticked to say the least.
"Whoa, boys breathe, please." Although I knew Edward didn't have to. "Edward, get to class before your late honey, I love you and will see you afterwards. Mike go to class I will see you later." I smiled at both of them.
"Fine," Edward bent low to kiss my lips passionately. I knew it was mostly to make Mike even madder but I didn't object "Oh, and I hate to tell you Newton, your right Bella is your friend, but she and I are much more than that. I got a chance that will never be given to you. I will be sure of that" Pleased with himself Edward turned and left.
Mike just stood there fuming. "Edward." I scolded but he kept walking.
"Sorry, Mike." I smiled reassuringly at him.
"Don't worry about it Bella." Was all he said before escaping to class.
I sighed and headed there myself.
Although I knew Edward was right, he should not have said that to Mike. It was very mean. I sat in class completely absorbed in my thoughts. Not bothering to listen to the lecture. At one point during the class the teacher called on me to answer but I didn't have an answer. I replied, "I don't know." and that seemed to satisfy them. After that was said I looked down and felt my cheeks grow warm.
Once class was over I gathered my books and looked up to find my angel leaning against the door frame. I quickly went to meet him.
"Bella, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that but Newton really ticked me off." Anyone else would have thought it was something Mike had done, but I knew otherwise.
"I could tell." I tried to lighten the mood. "What was he thinking Edward?" I caught him off guard.
"It doesn't matter." Oh yes it does. With that he looked down. He wasn't getting out of it that easy.
"Edward, what was he thinking." I was growing impatient. By now we were at my locker grabbing what I needed for the next class.
"Quote, unquote, she has a great ass." He sighed in defeat and my mouth dropped open.
"Oh, uh, okay. That's it?" I knew Edward got mad at things people said, or rather thought, easily but that wasn't it, there was more that wasn't telling me.
"No. He thinks that I don't deserve you and if he had you he would treat you like a woman. There were a couple of nasty images of what he thought you would "look like" and I couldn't listen to it anymore. It took all of my strength to not go off the deep end and slug him. I wanted to kill him Bella, almost as much as that night in Port Angeles." He growled and I shuttered. Just the thought of what could have taken place if Edward hadn't saved me was terrible.
"Thanks Edward for telling me and thank you for resisting. It took a lot I am sure but it was a good choice. At least we know that you won't be thrown into jail for that." I laughed and so did he. His hand grabbed mine and we walked to class.
The rest of the day carried on in this fashion and before I knew it I was in gym. Mike had avoided us the rest of the day being sure to stay clear of Edward. Except now that he knew Edward wasn't near.
"Bella, can I talk to you after class, please." Mike smiled at me and I figured it couldn't hurt much.
"Sure, I guess." I shrugged and carried on with the torture the teacher assigned us. This week the torture was soccer.
After class I changed and saw Edward standing at the door.
"Edward, Mike wants to talk to me really quick alone. I promise it shouldn't take long. Five minutes tops." I smiled at him and kissed him lightly. With that Edward reluctantly took my uniform and walked back in the direction of my locker where he grabbed the books he knew I would need and left to wait in his car."
"Okay Mike what is it?" I followed him down the hallway and gave him an impatient look.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me into a nearby janitors closet.
"Mike, what are we doing in here?" He locked the door. "Mike?"
He turned and faced me. "Isabella Swan, I love you." What did he just call me? Only Edward is allowed to call me that. Did he just say what I think he just said. Please, tell me he didn't.
With that he grabbed my arms and pulled me towards him. He started kissing me and wouldn't let go. He was so ruff, it was the complete opposite of Edward's sweet kisses. I tried to pull away but he held strong. He then took both of my hands in one of his and moved his other over and over my butt. My eyes were full of alarm and I wanted Edward here to save me. I wanted to cry. Tears began to threaten to overflow. Then the door burst open and Edward stood in the doorway.
Finally Mike released me and tears rushed down my cheeks. He was so beautiful and sad. I can't believe I did this to him.
Once I was released I couldn't support myself and fell on my knees onto the ground. "Edward, I am so sorry, please forgive me." I sobbed out and placed my hands over my eyes.
